WILL NOT QUIT
Government Still After Standard Oil
BOOdIers.

Plans for another great battle in
the courts with representatives of the
Standard Oil company will be worked
out here in the Berkshire hills within
the next few days. Under the direc-
ton of Attorney General Bonaparte,
who is passing his vacation in Lenox,
the first move in the new action,
which it is understood, is to be
brought by the government against
the Standard OIL company, will be
made here and the machinery OF the
department Of Justice set in motion.
This action follows the recent de-
cision OF the United States court Of
appeals at Chicago setting aside the
judgment OF $29,240,0OO returned by
Judge Lands against the company in
dicates that the announced intention
OF the administration to renew the
proceedings is to be carried out
promptly. Mr.. Bonaparte was joined
today by Frank B. Kellogg of Mime
sofa, whose conduct OF antitrust cases
for the government brought him ma
tional renown, and they will review to-
gether the present legal status OF the
case and discuss the details OF further
action.
For assistance they will have the
services of half score of trained le-
gal experts from the department Of
justice in Washington.--State

Road System for National Forests.

The office of public roads of the
Department OF Agriculture is to CO.
operate with the Forest Service in
drawing up plans for comprehensive
systems of roads and trails on Nation
al Forests.
For the last two years congress has
provided funds for permanent linz
provements on National Forests, and
a large part Of the money thus made
available has been and Is being used
for road and trail building. The
amount is too small, however, in COM
parison with the total area Of the
Forests, to make possible more than .
very small beginning With thicker
settlement and increasing use OF the
Forests, good roads will become more
and more crying necessity.
The object of securing the help OF
the Office of Good Roads is to make
the work take the line that will not
merely serve temporary convenience,
but also count for most in the end.
BY building each year with references
to carefully wOrked-Out plan the
danger OF indirected effort will be
escaped.
During the present summer an en-
gineer OF the Office Of Roads will go
over the ground on several of the
Forests, and draw up plans which will
be submitted to the Forester, and
will serve to guide subsequent work
Where the roads planned for cannot
be built, trails will, SO far as pos
sible be made to follow the course
laid out, with the exception that the.
latter will be conveyed into roads.
The roads, trails. telephole linee,
and fire lines already constructed ON
National Forests are proving of great
value both in the work Of fire protec-
ton and in serving the convenience o.
the public. The further this work
can be carried the greater will be the
usefulness Of the Forests to the sur
rounding regions.

Attorney General Decides Forest Ser
vice News Articles are Legal.

A clause in the Agricultural Appro-
priation Bill affecting the Forest Ser
vice has been the subject OF a recent
opinion by the Attorney General. The
clause provides that no part OF the APP
preparation for the Forest Service
shall be paid or used for the purpose
Of paying for in whole or in part the
preparation or publication of any
newspaper or magazine article. but
this shall not prevent the giving out
to all persons without discrimination,
including newspaper and magazine
writer's and publishers, of any facts or
official information of value to the
public"
The question was submitted to the
Attorney General by the Secretary of
Agriculture, whether this provision Of
the law prohibited the sending to
newspapers, writer's and others of such
statements as it has been distributing
in the past.
To this inquiry the Attorney Cen
eral replied:
you express the view that in dis
tributing such information as is COM
piled and sent out by the Forest Ser
vice. especially to persons engaged in
the practice of study of forestry, and
generally to the public at large
through the newspapers and maya
zines, you are fulfilling the primary
and Fundamental duty imposed upon
the Department Of Agriculture by sec
ton $40 of the Revised Statutes. In
formation thus given out will be ac-
companied by notice that it is sent in
accordance with the provisio to the
appropriation act OF 1908. There will
therefore be no discrimination; and
you say, further, that no money will
be paid on this account to any news
paper or magazine or to any news
paper or magazine writer or publisher
or to any person not regularly en-
ployed In the Forest Service. OBJ
viously, such Information as collated
and distributed Heretofore and will
continue to be sent out is OF value to
tht public, and certainly your deter
mination that 1t is 80, as head Of the
Department Of Agriculture. Is conclus-
i've. Under this state of facts can
see no reason to doubt that your con-
ception Of your official duty in this
respect is legally correct. and that
the Forester may lawfully distribute
information requested by the news
paper or magazine writer or publisher
may lawfully be sent the form Of a
letter.

Losses Of Sheep from Eating Poison
Gus Plants.

number OF sheep were recently
poisoned by eating choke cherry
leaves while passing over driveway
across part OF the Manti National
Forest in Utah, and, though sheep
driveways are not strictly part OF the
National Forest range, the govern
ment has taken steps to prevent fur
Their losses to the sheepmen from
this cause. Members OF the force on
the Forests will cooperate with the
stockmen in cutting out the thickets
OF choke cherry bushes where they
grow most densely, thus allowing the
sheep to be hurried through them, and
In some case the driveway will be
changed SO as to avoid the thickets
altogether.
When the sheep enter this driveway
they are hungry after a long trip
over public highways, which form al
most one continuous lane between
cultivated fields. They eat the choke
cherry leaves ravenously, though I'M
der ordinary conditions they would
hardly touch them. The leaves con-
tain prussic acid, and when an ex-
animation was made of the stomachs
OF several Of the dead sheep, and
they were found filled with the leaves
the cause OF death was clearly es-
tablished.
Stockmen throughout the West are
coming fully recognize the benefits
of government cooperation and range
control. The whole grazing policy
Is to make the range better and to in
sure Its equitable use. Restriction
is practised not for its own sake, but
for the good OF the range of the stock
men who depend upon it. ~
The range has deterioratAd under
unrestricted use and SO the govern
ment Is making Investigations under
the direction Of Mr.. F. " Coville. Bot
antst, Bureau Of Plant Industry, De-
partment Of Agriculture, with q view
to reseeding with better grass. Again
poisonous plants are often destruc-
tive to livestock, and in this case DR..
C. D. Marsh, of the Bureau OF Plant
Industry. is conducting q study to de-
tect poisonous plants and suggest
means OF Graduating them. There
are also heavy losses from predatory
animals, but the government hunters
and trappers are busy reducing the
number Of mountain. lions and tim
Der wolves, which do most Of the
damage. Finally, there IL the insig-
nificant prairie dog. which selects
the chofcese grassy bottoms for its
operations. strips them to the soil.
and ploughs up the ground for its
burroughs. They have gone after
the prairie dog now. however, and BY
the use Of effective poison will soon
put an end to this pest.

Vashon
Going Some
Organization of Vash-
M Club : Business
Block -Ne1O Hotel.


A few weeks ago several of our
leading citizens upon putting their
heads together determined that one
of the great needs of Vashon Is
land was an up-to-date club. Ac-
cordingly, after few preliminary
meetings, on Wednesday evening,
January 81, final steps were taken
to effect the organization of what
is to be known as the Vashon Club.
The constitution as accepted
states that the purpose of the club
is to develop the social, CONNER
cial and industrial welfare, the
growth and development of the Is
land. Application for membership
is to be endorsed by two members
OF the club, the entrance fee is to
be $1.0o, with monthly due of so
cents. In addition to the usual
four officers, board Of five direc-
tors is provided for, this board to

Meeting
Unanimous
Many yCitizens Attend
lin Favor of'Lib-
erdI Concessions

A mass meeting to consider the
action of the Franchise Committee
was held at Centre Hall Tuesday
evening last.
The meeting was largely attended
from representatives of all parts of
the Island. A. d. Cowan, OF Vaslon,
was elected chairman.
But two members of the Fran
chise Committee were present, viz:
Messrs. B. w. Alexander and David
Gammell, who reported on the work
of the committee in the matter of
the requirements made of the com
pany. These members stated that
the committee were willing to make
the requirements of their report
conform to the wishes of the people.
The matter of planking of the
roads was first discussed, and it was
decided that planking of the cross
ings by the street car company
would satisfy requirements for the
present.
The chairman of the meeting was
asked as to the company's views of
the requirements of she franchise
report, and he replied that they
would not accept the franchise
under such exaotiiig Conditions,
that the company meant business,
had all preliminaries arranged,
construction men engaged, teams on
the Island ready for work, and that
if not delayed by unreasonable de-
mands, the car line would be run
ming the entire length of the Island
within year.
It was unanimously decided, as
the sense of the meeting, that the
car tracks occupy one side Of the
road instead of the center as pro-
posed, and that the company grade
and tracks be made to conform with
any changes which might be made
by the county and state in improve
ments of roads hereafter. F. M,
Sherman created a temporary panic
by suggesting the west side as a
possible route for the car line. The
residents located on the present
proposed route, viz: Cascade ave-
nue., as a compromise suggested
they might possibly consent to a
removal of perhaps sixty rods.
which would be the limit to their
concession, and it was finally de-
cided that its present route was
good enough for all concerned.
The meeting then adjourned.

The Ladies' Enterprise Society
met Thursday with Mrs. Leonard
Martin. This society has been
constantly doing much good, is
composed of our leading women of
charity and activity, and no one
can but wish its numbers and sc-
tivity may be increased.
Morgan O'Brien, whom every
body knows, who knows much of
anything, hereabouts, has been ;.p-
pointed by the county commission
ers as road supervisor of the
southern portion of the county,

night netted the lodge over $4,000,
and everyone had good time and
went home content.
