rSnilc RANGE At LESS MONEY
Administration Makes New Conees-
sions to the Sheepmen in View
of Lower Market Prices.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-Follow-
ing the statement made a year ago al
the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association in Salt Lake,
Clifford Pinchot, forester. and A. +.
Potter. In charge of grazing In ma
tional forests. have announced re-
duetion of 10 to i peT cent In the
rates for sheep grazing on national
forests, to take effect the coming
season. Changes in market eondi-
tions which have made the sheep
business less profitable this past year,
especially the greatly reduced prices
offered for wool and the depreciation
in the value of mutton, are partly re-
sponsible for this reduction. In 1907.
when promises for the reduced sched-
ule were made. It was with the un-
derstanding between the stockmen
and forest service that the grazing
rates would not be changed for minor
fluctuations In the market which
would noturally occur from year to
year. but would apply only In cases
of radical or unusual changes.
The new schedule does not affect
the cases where minimum charge
of 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 the reduction of about
cent per head. In fixing the rates
for grazing of different kinds of stock
ON forest growth. demand for use of
range by owners of different kinds of
stock, needs of homesteader and prof
its of business. have been taken into
consideration

the officials of the Detroit & Mackl-
nae railroad and others is most COM
mendable, but the loss and suffering
are so great and the need for further

should be prompt action on the part
of the public generally.
"The men. women and children
who have narrowly escaped death are
shelterless and destitute Food,
clothing. bedding, furniture, money
and building materials and forage
for animals should be donated at
once so that the sufferings OF these
people should be lessened and that
none may perish from hunger and ex-
posure.
URGED TO BE LIBERAL.
"T, therefore, urge you. the char
table people of this great state, so
bountifully blessed with comfort and
wealth, to Immediately come to the
relief of these stricken people.

SALMON KING TO
GIVE AWAY LAND

SALEM. Ore, March 3.-R D. Hume
the Rogue river salmon king, whose
winter home is at Piedmont, an aristo-
cratic suburb of Oakland, California,
was here Sunday between trains and
told a Journal representative that he
has made all his plans to give away
his large holdings of lands on a new
plan that will bring many settlers to
Curry county.
He proposes to cut up the larger
part of his $4,000 acres into 2O-acre
tracts and give each family locating
on one of them COW, a pig and some
chickens, and let them have the land
rent free for five years. /, The other
Is years he will ask them to pay 50
per acre rent and the taxes, and at the
end of that time they will get deed
to the property.
Besides, they will have free timber
and the use of a saWmill to cut all the
lumber needed for improvements. The
experiment will be tried first with 20
families. If that succeeds he will To-
cate 20 more. He intends to make
Curry county the ideal place for thrifty
industrious families.

THE G|LDEO FOOL
S0PHS new PLAY
WHITMAN STUDENTS ARRANGE
FOR THEATRICAL EVENT
EARLY IN MAY.

Assisted bv committee Of the class
off 1909. President Penrose has chosen
the cast for the sophomore play, which
is to be given this spring. The play,
is "The Gilded FOOL and the dramatis
personae follows:
A"Chauncey Short" Ned Barnes:
"Margaret Ruthven," Laura Libby;
"Nell." Minnie Gaines; Mrs. Rutnven,
Mary Dubois Fowler; Miss Rude
Beatrice Hoffman; Strange Clarence
Morrow; "Ruthven," Howard Shubert;
perkins" Joe Bassett; "Janitor,'
Harry Wilson; REV. Howell" Ralph
Mathews; "DePuyster," Alger Fee.
It was intended to give, the play inn
mediately before or after Easter but
in all probability it will be postponed
until the big interscholastic track meet
which will be held here the last OF
April and the first Of May.
The faculty has thought it would be
better to have the play at that time,
giving the visiting students some idea
of what is done at the college, than to
have the regular defamation contest.
Last year the defamation contest
proved too long to be interesting.
Something to replace it has been
looked for and it is thought that put
ting the soph play at that time will
|prove a happy solution.
The cast as arranged is strong one
throughout. Every player is, admir-
ably adapted to his part and there is
no doubt but that the play will re-
peat the success of former years. Pres
tident S. B. L. Penrose will coach the
play. Carl Morton will be it's business
manager.
