FOREST SERVICE WORK

Following the movement of the
the forest service from Washington
into the field, and the division of the
western country into six forest dis
tricts, each in charge of a district
forester, the practical management of
Uncle Sans forests on q business
basis is being pushed forward even
more effectively than heretofore. Only
the general administrative heads of
the service and the men engaged in
government forestry work in the east
ern part of the country retain their
headquarters in Washington.
For the better administration of the
1874, 100000 acres of national forest
land, this vast territory is divided
into 149 national forests, each in
charge of Il forest supervisor In all
cases, the supervisor is selected for
west, and Of numbering and grazing
particularly. He may or may not be
a trained forester. If not a trained
forester himself, he has such man
to assist him. 1t is the business Of
the forest supervisor and his techni-
cal aids to bring their forest gradual
ly to q condition of maximum pro-
ductiveness. To do this requires a
great deal of detailed study and skill
full planning. Each step, from the
care and protection of the young
growth to the numbering of the ma
ture forest must be carefully con-

ing and caring for young trees. The
lumberman, who cruises and estimates
timber, helps to plan logging opera
tions and sees that the scaling is
correctly done and that the rules for
logging are properly observed, must
be an experienced and capable woods
man. The forest ranger patrols his
district of the forest to see that fire
and trespasS are prevented, that the
range is not oVergrazed, that logging
regulations are enforced, and that the
privileges granted by permit for the
use of the various forest resources
are not abused. he also must be hard
headed, practical, and thoroughly
honest, an able bodied citizen of the
west, with plenty of experience in all
the problems with which he may have
to deal. The trained foresters are
usually forest school graduates. Their
training is somewhat parallel to that
of the civil engineer. but particular
attention is paid to the study Of bot
any, to the life and growth Of for
velopment and usefulness. In addi-
tion to his scientific training, the
American trained forester must have
abundant practical experience in the
woods, on the range, and In the mills,
for he must have a thorough under
standing Of all conditions before at
tempting to work out system of
good business management Of any for

Twenty-Five Million Consider
ably Scaled by Federal
Judge Anderson.
Government Gets Bumped
Early in Hearing.
COURT NAY CHANGE HIS MIND
COURT MAY CHANGE HIS MIND

Chicago, Feb. 25.-What is re-
garded as the most important point
in the Standard twenty-nine million
fine case is expected to be decided at
the hearing today. Argument on a
number OF alleged offenses is expect
ed to be concluded and a ruling made
This will determine the amount of
fine possible.
1t is intimated today that Judge
Anderson would rule in favor of the
Standard, regarding the number OF
offenses. The court announced his
opinion that the company cannot be
convicted Of more than SO offenses
and perhaps fewer. He said he is not
to be bound by this statement. and il
the evidence submitted in the trial
is sufficient to make him change his
mind he will be free to do so. Under
his ruling the largest possible fine is
s72d 900.
Judge Anderson said he was bound
to apply the rule of the circuit court.
Under its rule he believed there could
not be. more than 36 offenses and
possibly only one.

Important part of the defense will b.
at an end.
II is reported that only few other
Witnesses will be called. Mary Kreig
who lives in the Polk flats, will be
called to testify to the number of
shots and how they sounded. Henry
Stocked, a nephew of Colonel Cooper.
was in the Polk fats at the time OF
the killing and heard a shot.
Make IL Hot for Duncan.
Almost the first thing the state did
on cross-examination was to announce
that it would try to prove that Col.
Cooper was defaulter to the extent
of over 100000 while clerk and mas
ter of chancery in Maury county.
This precipitated a bitter fight be-
tween counsel. during which some
harsh words were used and much an
ger was displayed, despite the efforts
of Judge Hart to hold the reins
tightly.
The state won a partial victory and
straightway sprung another surprise.
1t resurrected some old legislative rec
ords concerning an investigation into
the defalcation OF State Treasurer NJ
T. Polk in the early eighties. They
offered to prove that thousands OF dol
lars of the states money was invested
by Polk with Col. Duncan B. Cooper
and others in a Mexican silver mine
scheme, a walnut log scheme in North
Carolina and a scheme to buy the
Nashville American.
Admitted Irregularities.
Col. Cooper admitted that Their,
were Irregularities in his Office o
clark and master in chancery. but sal,
they were due to bad management
and poor bookkeeping. and that ever,
dollar was made good. He admitted
that Polk was his partner in ths
ventures named, but declared that h,
(Cooper) never handled a dollar Of
the money and had no knowledge thai
1t was taken from the states strons
box.
Col. Cooper made an excellent wit.
ness, but one hard to handle even by
his own counsel. Repeatedly he urged
Judge Anderson to let the state ask
"any question ON the subject" and
at times answered over his own at.
torney's objections. Now and then
he displayed great heat but he did
not contradict himself upon any
point.
