COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
MADE BY GOVERNMENT
Forest Service and Counties to Join
Forces in Protecting the Most
Dangerous Fire Belt in
California

WASHINGTON, March "a CO.
operative agreement for the patrol of
dangerous foothill areas in and around
the Sierra National forest. CaIifor-
mia, where forest fires have done con-
siderable damage in the past years,
has just been entered into by the
United States forest service and G. B,
Lull, state forester of California.
The work will be in cooperation with
Kern and Tulare counties. Each coun-
ty will furnish two fire wardens to
serve from May 15 to October 15, and
the government will furnish two
guards in each county for the work
during the same period.
The force of eight men will be ap-
pointed by the officers in charge OF
the Sierra forest and the patrol or
ganized and directed so as to protect
most effectively the entire foothill belt
within and outside the national forest.
The protection of this foothill region is
most important, for it is the most dan
gerous fire belt in California.
State Forester Lull is hopeful the
plan will work in. checking the dan
gerous forest fires to a degree where
loss through them will be little, COM
pared with losses in previous years.
The .overnments foresters in Wash
ington have also approved the plan of
cooperation in all of it's details and
have said that the forest service will be
ready to put it in effect in other for
ests in California where local conditions
warrant and where the necessary
guards can be furnished without seri-
Gus injury to their work.
Forest officers and individuals who
desire such cooperation In fire fighting
between the government and the state
have been requested to confer with
State Forester Lull.

REQUIREMENT SAVES
LOSS OF FORAGE CROP
GRAZING CATTLE NOW GIVEN
SALT
Sheep Owners Find Only Way They
Can Keep FIocks Together Is to
Have Supply of Condi-
ment on Hand

The requirement that all cattle.
horses and sheep grazing under permit
on the national forests be given salt
at frequent intervals is a regulation
which has been found to go a long
way in protecting the range and con-
serving the forage crop.
Experience has shown that the want
of salt makes stock restless. If cat
tie and horses are not supplied as they
need 1t, they roam and wander, haunt
ing old saiting grounds used in pre-
vious seasons, trampling the forage
plants instead of eating them, paving
the ground, and in other ways injur-
ing the range. But if their cravings
are supplied, they scatter peacefully
over the pasture grounds and feed at
their leisure.
Salt is so necessary to the easy and
profitable handling of sheep on the
range that no f.ockmaster would think
of getting along without it, If sheep
do not receive their usual supply it is
only with great difficulty that they
can be held in bonds or kept in camp
at night. So far as sheep are con-
cerned, no regulation by law is really
necessary, because the owners for
their own convenience, viii salt their
fiocks. But cattle are not herded, and
the owners might neglect to salt them,
if the regulations were not strictly
enforced.
Stock on different ranges require
varying quantities of salt. Sheep need
less on dry range than on green. An
average quantity for 1000 head of
sheep would be from 1000 to 1900
pounds each year. For like number
of cattle, from 5000 to 10000 pounds a
year is required. Horses need less
than cattle.
Old hunters, in the days of the pio-
neers, knew that deer and buffalo
travelled lbng distances to lick salt iri
saline springs. The Blue Licks on
Licking river, in Kentucky, and a sim
liar mineral spring on Elk river, in
West Virginia, were famous for the
herds of deer, buffalo and elk which
freuuented them. The adjacent ground
was so deeply tramped that the marks
were to be seen many years after the
places ceased to be visited by those
animals.

ASKS COURT TO CHANGE
THE WORDING OF DEED
Former Owner of Property NegIects
to Have Restrictions in Instru-
nent at Time of
Sale

The neighborhood of Country club
terrace on Pico street contributed a
number of spectators in the superior
court to listen to the proceedings in the
action in which John Howse, owner of
a large part of the land, sought to have
placed in a deed a provision for the
erection of building to cost not less
than $780,
In September Howse sold a lot in the
terrace tract to Mrs. Rhoda p. Sprague
and gave deed which did not provide
that if q building was erected it should
cost not less than $500, which pro-
vision, 1t is claimed, was included in
other deeds to lots in that vicinity.
Later, it is said, Howse learned a
building which did not come up to the
requirements was to be placed on the
lot and he sought through the courts
to have the provision inserted, but this
was denied by Judge Hutton, who after
listening to the evidence. believed
Howse was fully informed of the con-
tents of the instrument when 1t was
made.

ACT HOLDS
THRONG ENTHRALLED
WOMAN MAKES RUBIEs FROM
COMMON CLAY
American Girl Whose Hobby Has AL
ways Been Chemistry Appears in
Spectacular Performance
at the Orpheum

The great question of beauty and
its relative Importance to other quail
fications in stage career is again
suggested by the appearance of Miss
Alice Norton on the Orpheum stage.
Miss Norton is one of the most beau
tiful women who ever appeared in To-
cal vaudeville, and at the same time
a type of the highest intellectual de-
velopment of the age. The fact that
she makes rubies, of which samples
have been carried away from the Or
pheum by hundreds of the patrons of
that theater, qualities her as a scien-
tist, but her physical attractions are
patent to even those who may doubt
her learned attainments.
Miss Norton is an American girl,
born in the classic environs of Bos-
ton, but since her seventeenth year she
has been a student in Germany, France
and Switzerland. Chemistry has al
ways been her hobby; not the COM
monplace routine of the shops that is
too greatly dignifled by the term, but
the abstruse research of the labora-
tory that has it's home in the great uni
versities of both this country and Eu-
rope, but which recognizes Germany
as its birthplace.
ASlo fHPPCdT 0lt1PIC
Miss Norton's act at the Orpheum
consists of doing many spectacular
things that to the chemist are simple
enough, but. when presented with
proper accessories are impressive on
the stage. Such are her preliminary
experiments with fluid air, etc. Her
greatest feat, the actual manufacture
of rubies from common clay. is less
spectacular than her minor expert
ments, and but for the precious prod
uct would not attract the more than
passing attention.
1t is in this connection that the
question of beauty on the stage is sug-
gested. Were Miss Norton merely. a
plain or even "homely' woman would
her act attract the attention now CIV
en- it? Would it's real merit be
dimmed by the absence of the femi-
nine attractiveness in the demonstra-
tor, just as the finest of her expert
ments are overshadowed by the more
snowy but less scientific introduction?
Miss Norton herself thinks that her
beauty has nothing to do with her
stage success, and from a scientist
even a female scientist, this view
might be expected, but many of those
who attend the Orpheum will argue
that Miss Norton is the most attract
i've feature of her performance.

PLAYS WITH GOALS;

WORKMAN SAVES BABY GIRL
FROM DEATH
Hears Child's Shrieks of Pain and
Rushes to Her Aid in Time to
Extnguish FIames-Little
One Will Live

While her mother was gathering wood
along the tracks of the Salt Lake rail-
road little Julia Howell, a pretty blue
eyed child, strayed over to a blazing
cinder pile.
Unaware of her danger the baby
gathered some small sticks and at
tempted to build herself fire: She ap-
preached too near the burning Goals,
and as she stopped to place the wood
on the blaze her skirt ignited.
In q few seconds she was sheet of
flame George F. Cross, mechanic
employed at the Baker iron works, hap
pened to glance toward the tracks.
Throwing aside his tools he made
rush for the girl. He reached her just
as she was about to fall into the Goals.
Jerking off his Jacket, he wrapped Il
around the victim and succeeded in ex-
tinguishing the flames, burning himself
seriously in doing so.
Cross hurried to a telephone and
called the emergency hospital.
He informed the institution of the ac-
cident and an ambulance was sent. The
child, accompanied by its mother, was
taken to the hospital for treatment.
"I was working in the shop" said
Cross. "I happened to glance out the
door and saw a child staggering among
the live Goals. Her clothing was ablaze
and the little tot was writhlng IN
agony. I ran to her assistance, and l
think if L had been a second later the
girl would have been burned to crisp.
Just as 1 extinguished the flames the
child's mother rushed up"
The little girl was badly burned about
the back, stomach, face, arms and legs.
She was swathed in oiled bandages.
Her mother refused to allow the little
one to remain at the hospital and as
soon as the surgeons had finished the
dressings the child was conveyed to her
home at 1874 South Utah street.
Superintendent Cutter of the emer-
gency hospital states the child will re-
cover.

The letter is as follows:
"To His Honor, the Mayor of Los

ping from a local paper is only a flea
bite of the life of Mrs. Noyes in this
town. She has a record which is best

knock him about like a punching bag.

those who knew about them at the

with Mr.. Noyes and no one believes
that McComas should be punished in

affected she had to be removed to the
home of O. neighbor.
"The husband, Charles H. Noyes, is
said to have been attacked by his wife,
who used a hat pin in such a way he
was badly scratched. She had vio-

arose after talk relative to personal
business affairs of the couple.
