Washington, ID. C.-The institution
OF six district offices In the West by
the United States Forest Service a
big piece Of work which has just
been completed, involves complete
change In the machinery of this
branch of the government as regards
the handling Of National forests. AS
a result of the reorganization, the
Forest service force at the head
quarters in this city has been reduced
to the general administrative officers
ana to those who are conducting the
investigatlve work of the service out
side of the national forests.
The six districts which have the
same boundaries as the old inspection
districts will be i'm charge Of six dis
trct foresters with headquarters In
Denver, Colo; Ogden Utah; Albu-
Querque, New Mex; Mssoula, Mont.
San Francisco, Cal; and Portland,
ore For nearly year preparation
for the district organization has been
going quietly but steadily forward.
This has thrown an additional burden
upon force already excessively
busy, but the work has been accom-
pllshed and accomplished on time.
The transition has been particularly
remarkable because 1t involved no
material delay in the transaction Of
national forest business while the
change was going on.
The forest service" said Clifford |
Pinchot. United States forester, "is |
rrtting a large part Of its work into |
the field, where 1t belongs. The or |
ganZation on December l. of the ma
tiohal forests into six districts, each |
In charge of a local force under a
district forester, is something we have
been working towards for long
lime. That we have not done II soon
er. Is because we did not have suffi-
Cient number OF trained men to equip
tn districts.
Means Frcer Use.
"The district organization will
mean a much freer use of the nation
al forests by the people. because
there will not be the delay inevitable
so long as national forests business
Is handled from Washington. 1t is
also going to mean that there will
always be officers with the power TO
make decisions. near the ground. who
can look into the facts for themselves,
wherever necessary. without having
10 decide them at long range. | be-
.eyc every man who uses the ma
tional forests will realize these things
inside of six months" ,
1t Is probable that there have never
been new government offices started

Death OF Ellis Swank.

illness of dropsy died Saturday
night at his home in Sonestown.
In 1865 Mr.. Swank was elected
Sheriff of Sullivan county, which
Office he filled with much credit to
himself. AT the expiration OF his
term as sheriff he moved to Sones-
town where for several year he
conducted the Magargle hotel. lie
then moved to Muncy Valley,
and took charge of a restaurant
which he conducted until about u
year ago when on account OF fall
ing health he retired to private life.
He leaves a widow and two sons:
Ellery of HughesYille, and Martin
of Altoona.
Last week, John Hassen, pro-
prietor of the Commercial hotel
advertised in the News Item for a
girl, and on Saturday night the
stork brought girl to the delight
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hassen. Another
proof that it pays to advertise i'll
the New Item.
A number of family reunions have
been advertised to occur during
the month of August, and number
have already been held. These an
nual affairs are among the pleas
ant events in the history OF
county. There are families in Sull-
ivan county whose membership is
large, and when these get together
they present spectacle of which
they themselves and the county
may we'll feel proud. Where hun
dreds of persons can lay claim to
to have decended from one or more
of the early settlers Of the county
they have right to feel that they
have an important part in making
local history.
These annual gatherings are man
aged i'm business like manner.
Officers are chosen and an inter-
change of experiences had which
are interesting in the highest degree.
Speeches are delivered and social
time enjoyed by old and young.
The coming together of the decend-
ants of the early settlers in this
county is an occasion for the greet
ing of friends and relatives who have
not met during the year, and many
are the pleasant words of welcome
which are exchanged by the partici-
pants. Year by year the family re-
union becomes more enjoyable.
The Lock Haven State Normal
School sent out a large class of young

patronage during the year just closed
greatly exceeded any previous year.

Newark, Texas, April 29.-Yester-
day afternoon, while returning home
from school, three daughters of Mr..
Lovelace, who lives near Springtown,
about twelve miles southwest of here,
were drowned by driving into small
stream swollen by a heavy rain. The
girls were s, 10 and IA years of age.
The recent heavy rains throughout
this section have almost washed away
some farms, rendered roads almost
impossible, washed down number
of country telephone lines and dam
aged crops to some extent. There has
been heavy hail in places, but hail
has been of local nature and has not
done any extensive damage. Old set
tiers say all records have been brok-
en- by the precipitation of the last
two weeks.
