 range aud give the new settlers the benefit of this reduction.
 On one of the National Forests in the state of Wyoming at the time 1t was created six years ago, the area was supporting a large number ofsheep which were owned by a few large companies and individuals. The little man was almost an unknown factor in that region. The larger own- CT was grazing some sixty thous- and head of sheep, which was for ty-seven per cent of the total num- Der on the Forest. The next year there were a number of settlers who desired to enter the Forest whose claims were legitimate and in order to admit them a sliding scale reduction was made upon all owners over and above a certain number, the surplus be- ing used to allow the new men to enter the Forest.
 Each succeeding year more new settlers desired to graze their sheep and cattle on that Forest and the same system was follow ed to obtain the necessary room for these new men until, at the beginning of the present grazing season, the man who six years ago owned forty-seven per cent of the stock had been reduced in numbers until he was grazing but 10000 head of sheep, which was about four per cent of the total number of the For est. In the meantime the number of individuals and firms grazing stock in that Forest had greatly increased until there are almost three times as many men using the range as were at the of it's creation as a National Forest. This certainly proves that the government is not maintaining the National Forest ranges sole ly for the big companies, to the exclusion of the small owners and new settlers.
 In order that the larger holders may not be too seriously reduced from year to year, they are guar anteed that they will not be re- duced below a certain point and the new owners are restricted to a certain established number to begin with and allowed to grad ually increase their number from year to year until they have reached the limit which IS set for any one man or company. In this manner the reduction is spread over several years and the larger owners are given time to meet it. But the small men are quite as insistent that they are being discriminated against, as

AIIotting Stock on
 National Forests

al Forests that comes closer home to the StOckmen than the system under which the number of stock each man may graze IS determined by the Supervisors.
 With the rapid increase in pop ulation of most of the western states, the demands for grazing privileges upon the National For ests, especially from the men int crested ill sheep raising, increase every year. The new settlers To- eating the country adjacent to the National Forests are nearly all desirOus of entering the stock business either as cattle raiSerS or sheep growers.
 In order that they may more successfully handle their stock, they apply to the Forest Service for a permit to enter the nearest Forest, which, very likely, is al- ready stocked to it's fullest ca pacity. The question then before the Supervisor, with whom the applications are filed, is how to accomodate these new settlers without injury to those who are already occupying the ranges.
 1t has been the consistent poli- cy of the Service to take care of the new men just as far as possi- ble without too greatly restrict ing those already using the rang es, and in order to do this 1t has been necessary to reduce the number allowed the larger men on a pro rata basis in order to give the new men an opportuni- ty. These reductions are only made after a full consideration of the conditions surrounding each permit, and every effort is made to carry out the system with as little injury to the indi- vidual stockman as is possible.
 The result of this system of re- ducing the larger owners i'll or der 10 admit the the new settler is, that many of the owners of large numbers of stocks are con- tinually appealing to the Forest CT against the cutting down pro- cess, claiming they are being in iured i'll their business and de prived of their lights as citizens, to increase and build up a legiti- mate industry. On the other hand some of the little men are equally persistent in their appeals for further recognition than that already allowed them. In hand ling this matter the Forest off, cers must act as fair and impart- ial judges for both classes.
 There is one fixed and immut- able point in this entire proposi- ton which can not be changed except through improvement of +I,a ,-o,,frac and tbot ic tba ,,,,,,,

For the year 1909 there were thirtv-tWO new settlers who de- sired to enter a particular Forest with their stock, but with the reductions made upon the older users it was impossible to take care of five of them; and while the older users complain of the reductions necessary to meet this demand from the new men, the new men also complain because they are not allowed a larger number at the beginning. One of the basic princiles in handling grazing matters on the National Forest is that 1t is better to help a small man make a living than big man a profit.
 The policy of the Forest Ser vice in making these reductions and restrictions IS not to injure any person nor to allow the new to enter the Forest with such a large number as will necessitate unnecessarily large reduction to meet them. The number allow ed each individual IS beleived to be that which will furnish a modest income to a man suffiic- ent to enable him to establish his home, support and educate his family and advance his own interests as well as the interest of the community and State.

The board of supervisors is consider ing the proposition of contracting the care of patients at the county farm. It looks as though trial of the pre- 2 ent system should be given the farm, and if too expensive then the care of the county patients could be let to a contractor. Any person entitled to beOme county charge should receive the best of care and we know the peo- pie of this county would like to have their poor taken care of in the best possible manner, even through the ex- pense incurred may be above that of the other counties

 Oscar Lund fell down an areaway back of the Luthy block last Saturday evening and sustained bad fracture of one of his legs. It was thought at first that the fracture was of such nature that amputation would be nec- essary, but the doctors concluded that they could save the limb and reduced the fracture. Lund had been dringing heavily for some time which probably was the cause of his fall.

Collie Quickly Cured.

Colic is one of the most severe and painful diseases. It is quite common, too. Almost everyone has an occas- ional attack. Fortunately there is a remedy that always affords quick re- lief and that has never been known to fail in any case. It is called Cham berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Tod Robinson, prominent merchant of Point Blank, Texas, says: "I have had several attacks of collie and in every instance one dose of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar- rhoea Remedy relieved me, and I nev- CT had to take more than two doses to effect cure" For sale by H.

Killing at GoIconda Mine.

It is said that all big camps shall have their baptism of blood before they can become great, and last Mon- day morning the Golconda mine, the only zinc property in Arizona, was baptised in the blood of human be- ing, Alberto Herrera, young Mexi- can, shooting and killing Mauel Vile, Spaniard. The men came together at the tunnel, where the water for the camp is obtained, and without word Herrera opened fire. Vile devined the intention of Herrera to shoot him when the murderer was pulling his gun and attempted to slave off the fa- tai moment by asking Herrera not to shoot; that he wanted to talk to him. But Herrera was bent on murder and as they came close together he fired, the bullet striking Vile close to the hail line, above the right temple, ranging down and out between the arch of the eye and the eye ball, and passing through the brain and tearing out the eye fragments. The wounded man fell to the ground and the mur- derer stood over his body and in a blind fury reviled him, after which he walked away, but later surrendered himself to an officer.
 Dr. J. R. Whteside was called, but found that nothing could be done for the wounded man and death came about seven o'clock in the evening. The man never regained consciousness after the fatal shot was fired.
 Herrera was brought to the county jail Monday evening by a deputy sher. if and Justice of the Peace Ryan at Cerbat. The following day an inquest was held at the mine over the body of Vile and verdict was returned in accordance with the above facts. Ville's body was brought to Kingman Tuesday and buried the following day. No trace of relatives of deceased could be found.
 Yesterday preliminary examination was held by Justice of the Peace Smith in Kinglnan and Herrera was bound over to the grand jury without bail.
 In statement to the men at the mine after the shooting was done Her. rera is said to have stated that Vile had reviled him and his companions, calling them "greasers, and that he was pure blooded Castilian. At every meeting of the two men Vile constantly taunted Herrera with his low birth until the latter became goaded to fury and the shooting re suited Herrera had always been con- sidered quiet and law abiding fellow and no one that knew him thought that he would commit such a deed. Neither man drank and the shooting was done apparently after cool and de- liberate meditation.

The Storm.

The storm which broke over this section of the country last Monday af. ternoon eliminated Tuesday afternoon | in one of the heaviest rain storms of the year, 2.28 inches of rain falling for l the twenty-four hours. The ground being soaked with moisture, every can- yon became raging torrent and the wagon and railroads were soon put out of commission.
 At Hack berry more than 300 feet of grade was washed out at the east ap- proach to the bridge, the roadbed be- ing cut out to depth of seven feet. All trains were held at Seligman pend- ing the repairs to the track, and It was forty-eight hours before the work of repair was completed. Washouts were reported from many points along the line of the Santa Fe west of King man and no trains reached Kingman from Los Angeles until Thursday morning. On the Chloride branch the road was so badly washed out that no trains have yet been sent over it. The train leaving here Tuesday at noon was caught between two washouts and did not get back to Kfngman until the following morning. Thursday thir- teen trains passed Kingman during the day, going east and west. The Harvey House at this place was taxed to it's limit to feed the hungry passen- gers and train and work crews, but n ,naged to pull through.
 Supervisor Potts sent crew to clear the wagon road below town and man. aged to open it to travel to Goldroad. The roads to the north are in Woe fully washedout condition and it will be months before repairs can be com. pleted on them.
 While the rain did some damage it did large amount of good to the whole country. which was much in need of good, old fashioned soaking.

Lieut.. Charles T. Leeds, who was appointed to the district of Arizona and California by the recently created bu. e ,u of national waterways commis- sion, has made report on the Color ado river to the chief of the bureau. He reports that the Colorado river has been navigated distance of 600 miles from its mouth since l540, and that at one time the traffic by boat and steamer to the inter-desert section was very large. Since the building of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe rail roads the river traffic has fallen off until at the present time it amounts to very little, only about 800 tons having been shipped down the river from Yu- ma the past year and none up. Little freight Is shipped up or down the river from Needles. He classes the river as one of the largest streams south of Alaska on the Pacific coast, and that its flow in water is very great, ranging during normal stage from 5S,000 cubic feet per second to $500. cubic second feet. On the showing made it is probable the river will be condemned as a navigable stream and that no at- tempt will ever be made to improve it, but that dams for power and irrigation will be built along it's course and all the water necessary will be diverted to the rich desert lands for reclaima- tiOn purposes.
