 Road, Writes FOR A CONFERENCE With The Jefferson County Bridge COmmissiOners-Wan to Use
 River Bridge Here.

Upon the request of M. M Brown, president of the Memphis, Paris and Gulf railroad, that he be permitted to
 meet the Jefferson County Bridge Commissioners with view to extend that road through Pine Bluff to Mem- phis, the Pine Bluff Board of Trade. at it's regular monthly meeting yes- terday Secretary Caldwell was in- structed to write County Judge James Gould, chairman of the Board of Com missioners and ask that the conference with President Brown be arranged for September 20, the date suggested the most convenient one.
 The letter of President Brown was sent to County Judge Gould and re- ferred to the Board of Trade. The Board of Commissioners includes Judge Gould, w. D. Hearn and Leo M. Andrews. They were named by a special act of the Legislature and the bill permits this county to con- tract with any bridge building con- cern for the construction of a wagon and railroad bridge across the Arkan- sas river here. The Parker Road, which is soon to be built from Ham, burg, through Pine Bluff to the Rock Island, will use the new bridge and it is stated that no bonus will be asked by the Memphis, Paris and Gulf road of our citizens. An equitable bridge contract is all that is wanted.

HINT TO THE POLICE
City Attorney Thinks Semi.Monthly Pay Day an Eyil-(,amblers
 Must Work.

Before his departure for Star City yesterday to attend the Lincoln circuit court, City Attorney W. B. sor- rells, whose charges of neglect of official duties against former Chief of Police A. J. Stewart resulted in the resignation of the police head some weeks ago. gave out an interview in which he declared that he will not tolerate the reopening of public gamb- ling houses in Pine Bluff as long as he is in a position to prevent it. MT. Sorrells said he had no fight to make on any city official or police officer, but that he felt it his duty to stop gambling in Pine Bluff. He termed the semi-monthly pay day as an evil and added that if gambling houses are permitted to reopen many en- ployes of railroads and other corpor- ations here will lose their money as and others who extend them credit will suffer financial losses. In an interview City Attorney Sorrells said:
 Gambling houses are not being operated in this city now, and if they are it is the fault of the Chief of Police or his subordinates. l say they are not going to be allowed to operate and if the Chief of Police and his officers cant see as much as I do it is up to them to account for the reason why they cant. I am deter mined that gambling houses shall not operate in Pine Bluff any more, under any circumstances at all I am cer- tain that the Chief of Police will see to it that there is not any more gambling in public houses in this city If those who conduct gambling houses do not think that I mean busi- ness. all they have to is to start some thing. The jack leg gamblers must start to earning an honest living"

ON GRAZING
ON HUMBOLDT
FOREST NEVADA
Especial to the Bonanza. }

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Con-
sid..able misunderstanding in re-
gard to grazing conditions on the
recent addition to the Humboldt ma
tional forest in northeastern Nevada,
known as the Bruneau addition,
seems to exist, particularly in the
territory adjacent to the forest.
An error was made in recent
statement concerning grazing condi-
tions on the areas added to the var
ious national forests in Nevada dur
ing the early part of the year. The
statement asserted that the same
regulations and rules for grazing
which applied to the original Hum
boldt forest would apply to the
Bruneau addition, in line with the
policy on the additions to the Ne
vada and the Toiyable national for
ests. This, of course, was erroneous.
as was finally decided by Chief For
ester Pinchot himself during his visit
to Ogden last March, after learning
of the unusual conditions on the
Bruneau addition.
Many aliens who own no ranch
property and are in no way perman-
emily identified with the country
have gone on the land since its
withdrawal from entry in 1906 with
the express intention of acquiring
grazing privileges which would al
low them grazing permits when the
land was finally incorporated in the
national forest.
Aliens not owning ranch property
have been repeatedly warned that in
all probability they would not secure
grazing privileges when the Bruneau
addition to the forest was made. but
they continued to occupy the range.
The Bruneau addition has an area of
about 100000 acres, and this year
grazing applications were made for
'54O,OO0 head of sheep, in addition to
21,OOO head of cattle owned by resi-
dent ranch owners. The available
range on the addition of 100000
acres could not possibly support the
entiNN number of stock and forest
office. found it necessary to issue in
struction which provided that no
stock be admitted which had not
been grazed on the Bruneau addition
prior to its withdrawal in 1905, un-
less such stock belonged to small
nearby resident owners. Under these
instructions the supervisors of the
forest acted with proper authority
in rejecting applications of all nom
resident stock owners who had not
used the range. The action was ap-
proved in the forest users and
stockmen's meeting held at Elko in
the early part OF last month.
