TAFT Cannot Help Them.

The Reno Gazette, in a recent issue,
advises the wool growers, of whom
there are Il considerable number in Ne
vada, to vote against Bryan for fear
that he will destroy the wool industry,
which is admittedly in II dep!orable
condition Mt present. Through what
process of reasoning the Gazette
arrives at the conclusion found is not
visible to the average layman. For
twelve years the republican party has
had absolute cantrol of both branches
OF congress and the presidency, and
still the sheep raiser is in worse shape
than ever before. What has Bryan to
do with it? The trouble with the
wool business is easy to find. a
wool manufacturers trust, aided and
abetted by the tariff passed by II re
publican congress. is slowly throttling
the life out of the wool growing in
dustry, and it is this trust which
Bryan has announced his intention of
smashing. The wool raiser will not

-SgsLca,ee iii Derivation OF Names OF

A recent bulletin of the forest service
says:
In the process of redistricting the
National Forests which has just been
completed, humorous changes wcrc
made. These changes Were b. ne
means haphazard o arbitrary. The
new names have been chosen on accouB,
of their Importance III local an

for all times as reminders of the men
and events connected with II progress

them Understandings is to trace the
salient facts of western growth and

with the significance and derivation Of
their names, are rs follows:
The Humboldt National Forest is
named from the county. lake, moan
tain, and river in tn, State, which We're
named after the distinguished geog-
rapher Alexander q Humboldt, who.
after extensive travels in Europe I'M
dcrtook II scientific journey to South
America and Mexico. the result OF
which We're published in Il series of
works with the general title Voyages
To the E%quinOxal Regions Of the New
Continent This Forest has an area
of 55S.Gi9 acres and is in charge of
Supervisor c. Sydney Tremcwan, with
headquarters at ElkO.
The Moapa National Forest derives
its name from the Moapa valley, which
was named after the Piute band of
MOlp9riats, meaning 'moslmto.crcck-
people" who lived in or near this
valley III southern Nevada. This
Forest Includes :Ii5, 005 acres, and is
administered by Acting Supervisor II.

The TOiyabc National Forest is
named from the long range of mount

ties. The name is of Indian origin and
signifies big hills" The area included
