REDUCTION IN GRAZING RATES FOR
SHEEP ON NATIONAL FORESTS.

Following out statement made
a year ago at the meeting of the
National. Wool Growers Associa-
ton in Salt Lake City, Clifford Pin
chot, Forester, and A. F. Potter,
Assistant Forester in charge of the
Branch of Grazing in the United
States Forest Service, have just
announced reduction of 10 to Is
per cent in the rates for sheep graz
ing on the National Forests of the
West. This general reduction in
the schedule of grazing rates will
take effect for the coming season of
1909.
The changes in market condi-
tons which have made the sheep
business less profitable this past
year, especially the greatly reduced
prices offered for wool and the de-
probation in the value of mutton,
make the announcement Of great
interest not only to those who are
interested in the sheep business
but to the men of every allied in
dustry. In 1907, when the prom
ises for reduced schedule were
made it was with the understand
ing between the stockmen and the
Forest Service that the grazing
would not be changed for minor
fluctuations in the market which
would naturally occur irony ear to
year, but would apply only in case
of radical or unusual changes.
The new schedule does not affect
the cases where the minimum
charge of 5 cents per head has
already been allowed or a specially
low rate has been fixed on account
of some local condition. In most
cases the revised fees will mean a
reduction of about one cent per
head.
In fixing the rates for grazing by
different kinds of stock, the local
conditions, the effect of grazing by
different kinds of stock on forest
growth, the demand for the use OF
range by owners of different kinds
of stock, the needs of the home
steader, and the profits of the bus
mess have been taken into consld-
Grafton.

The Aaoisnt Art In the Low Countries
and In England.
Once upon time two amateur bot
anlsts were hunting bog MOSES on
Exmeor, on the confines Of the land of
Lorna Doone About the hour of
luncheon they found that their enthu-
siasm had led them far afeld, a good
hour and han from the farmhouse
which they had made their temporary
headquarters. The only place which
yielded promise Of food was a shep-
herds shack half q mile distant, 80
thither they went That the shack,
or, rather, its owner, small, why,
dark man with curly hair, could offer
nothing better than brown bread,
which was woefully "elit," or heavy,
and raw onions is neither here nor
there. The point was that the roof
Of the shack was artistically matched
with layers of plated reeds.

The War Of Words That Comes When

There IL no more entertaining way Il

10 go along some street where you viii
be reasonably sure to get into jam OF
- bump against another cab. The
'.arm OF the experience Is, Of course
enhanced by your ignorance Of what
tic cGbbies say.
Should your driver merely Craze the
wheels OF another cab he will turn on
his seat and yell meIlihuously at the
other driver, who In turn will shout
back an assortment of vowels. But
the best Is quarrel between two cab
b,es cbstructing each others way.
The conversation, translated as nearly
literally as is safe. goes in this wise:
Sacred name! Why do you"
"Hoily blue! l do nOt!'
Stomach on the ground! You have
the face Of an ox!'
''Blue stomach! Are You in chainsT
"A bias! Name Of d0gp'
"Mon Dieu! Name of a pig!'
"Wow Tor words to that effect!

"A thousand deaths! Name of

Now you begin to expect some do
ings. While you have not fully I'M
derstooi, you are satisfied that nothing
but pistols and knives will wipe out
the insults.
Unfortunately about this time the
jam is nntangled and you are allowed
to drive away, but the other driver
yells after yours;
"Aha! You are little piece Of
brown soap"
1t seems that this expression Is the

The FUTILE WAY.

You cannot aid by sitting back
And scoffing at what others do.
Or signing for the things you LACK
Orwishing luck might come to you
You cannot aid by looking sad
Or envying some favored one,
Who, with a chance you never mad,
Has done what you, too, might
have done.
You cannot win by sitting still,
And waiting for the lucky day,
While some one else goes forth
to fill
The part you have the gifts to
play.

AN AMERICAN HERO.
us Used His Own Body to Stop
Leak In q Ferryboat.

One morning In January. when tho
ice in the Hudson river ran unusually
heavy, a Hoboken ferryboat slowly
crunched her way through the floating
foes until the thickness of the pack
choked her paddles In midriver. 1t was
an early morning trip, and the decks
were crowded with laboring men and
the driveways choked with teams. The
women and children standing inside
the cabins were solid mass up to the
swinging doors. While she was gath
ering strength for a further effort an
ocean tug sheered to avoid her. veered
a point and crashed into her side, cut
ting her below the. water line in a
great v shaped cash. A moment moro
and the disabled boat careened from
the shock and fell over on her beam.
helpless. Into the V shaped cash tho
water poured torrent. 1t seemed but
q question Of minutes before she would
lunge headlong below the ice.
Within 200 yards Of both boats and
free of the heavy Ice steamed the
wrecking tug Reliance Of the OFF,
shore Wrecking company. and on her
deck forward stood Captain Scott.
When the ocean tug reversed her en-.
gines after the collision and backed
clear Of the shattered wheelhOuse OF
the ferryboat he sprang forward, stoop-
ed down, ran his eye along the water
line, noted In fash every shattered
plank, climbed into the pilothouse Of
his own boat and before the astonlsh-
ed pilot could catch his breath pushed
the nose of the Reliance along the rail-
of the ferryboat and dropped upon the
latter's deck like q cat.
With threat to throw overheard
any man who stirred he dropped Into
the engine room, met the engineer half
way up the ladder, compelled him to
return, dragged the mattresses from
the crews hunks, stripped off blankets
and snatched up clothes, overalls, cot
ton waste and rags Of carpet, cram
ming them into the great rent left by
the tugs cutwater.
It was useless. Little By little tbs
water gained, bursting out first below.
then on one side, only to be calked out
again and only to rush In once more.
Captain Scott stood moment as II
undecided, ran his eye searchingly over
the engine room, saw that for his needs
1t was empty, then deliberately tore
down the top wall caiking he had so
carefully built up and before the en-
glneer could protest forced his own
body into the gap, with his arm outside
level with the drifting Ice.
An hour later tho disabled ferry
boat, with every soul on board, was
towed into the Hoboken slip.
When they lifted the captain from
the wreck he was unconscious and
barely alive. The water had frozen his
blood, and the floating ice had torn the
flesh from his protruding arm from
shoulder to wrist. When the color be-
gan to creep back to his cheeks he
opened his eyes and said to the doctor
who was winding the bandages:
"Wuz any Of them babies hurt"

his strength and another week before
the arm had healed 80 that he could
