KEEP OUT OF FORESTS.
Cattle Must Be Herded Away From
Prescribed National
Reserves.

United States Attorney Carl Rarsch
of Montana has notified Clifford Pin
chot, chief of the United States forest
service, that the United States circuit
court of appeals at San Francisco has
affirmed the decision of Judge Hunt
n the grazing trespass case instituted
by the government against Thomas
shannon. No copy of the decision has
yet been received by the forest serv-
ice, but it is believed that it forbids
stockmen to allow their cattle to drift
p the national forests, and that the
national forests need not be fenc d to
prevent such drifting, although the
state laws may make such fencing
necessary for private lands.

Special to Times-Republican.


Burlington. Jan. 6.-Ice men aiong
the Mississippi, as we'll as those of the
interior cities who depend on natural
ice as their commodity, are uneasy.
Unless conditions change soon there
will not be enough natural ice har-
vested to keep the Sunday supply OF
beer cool in the dry river towns.
The river is not closed. and there
is not much prospect of it closing soon
should suddenly drop down this way.
This is the third season that the
men are wondering when it will end.
The consumers of the frozen article
are also taking an interest in the mat
ter beyond the ordinary They do not
face the prospect of another summer OF
high prices with any great amount OF
pleasure, and the public is entirely in
sympathy with the desire of the ice
dealers for several weeks of cold
weather.
Usually at this time of the year the
river is closed up tightly and the ice
harvest is in full operation.
With the delayed closing the har-
vest is bound to be rush job, for re-
CARELESS of how soon it closes now it
cannot attain sufficient thickness to
be harvested for some time to come.
Then with delays that are always IL
able to occur, even should the river
close now and there should be intense
freezing weather from this time on
ward, the harvest could not be COM
menced for two or three weeks or
even a month, and would necessarily
last far over into February. AT that
time it may be expected that the ice
used for domestic purposes, will be-
come rotten and possibly break up.
But everything is being gotten ready
around the houses for packing as soon
as the ice is of the proper thickness,
so that there will be no delays when
the weather man has done his part.
Because of the large number of idle
men to be found in the city is is antici-
pated the packers will have no trouble
in securing help at prices considerably
lower than has been paid during the
last winter or two. But many of these
idle men are men who know nothing
of the business and are not accustomed
to the exposure which is necessarily
connected with this kind of work, so it
is presumed after all that there will be
no great rush of laborers to these jobs.

"Second-That he was to some ex-

"The court further suggests to me
that while the accused did not Wllfully

thru ignorance or negligence he falleo
to carry 1t out: that the order was
not so specific but that he might have
