FORESTS
DISTRICT FORESTER HELPS AO-
JUST BRUNEAU ADMINISTRATION
eaoques In Central Part Of State a
Menace to White Mon in
Sheep Business.

Assistant District Forester +. w,
Reed. returned Friday night from
three-weeks' trip to the national for
ests of Nevada. At Elko, he assisted
the Supervisor of the Humboldt forest
IN getting the administration OF the
Bruneau addition under way and
made general survey OF the condl-
tions prevailing In that section. He
states that there have been applca-
tions for sheep allotmcnts on the Hum
boldt range amounting to more than
half million This is far greater
number than can be accommodated ON
the forest range. there not being room
for more than about 100000.
Mr.. Reed also visited the Toiyabe
forest In central Nevada. and states
| that a new grief OF the white man in
that section Is the presence OF thous-
ands of Basques. These foreigners
| constitute the Sheep-herdlng element
| OF Nevada and many OF them, during
the past few years, have acquired
herds Of their own. They are wand
| ering tribe. having no permanent resi-
| dence, and move back and forth across
| the country with their small Hooks
until their number and undesirable
| tactics have become. In the eyes OF
| many. a serious menace to the resi-
| dent sheep owners Of the state.
! The Basques are natives or north

asserts Itself upon being confronted
with the conditions existing In Nevada
and other nortions OF the west where
tho free range has been practlcaliY

are a few who have purchased land
and settled themselves In permanent
locations becoming bona tde resi-
dents who are entitled to all the priSl'

The greater number, however, move

Everton, Held For Mans Death, gives
Remarkable Demonstration to En-

is held in Jail here In connection with
the death OF Robert Simpson early this

the request of the physicians TO enable
them to make tests of the effect OF
hypnotism on the human organs.
Everton used as his subject Edward
Thompson. the cighteen-yearold boy
whom h. brought here from Newark
and hypnotized with Simpson on the
stage of the Someryille theater on the
night OF simpsons death
Young Thompson was arrested along
with Eyerton and Is now held In the
county jail as "A witness. He was
placed In n cataleptic state by Ever
ton. after which the doctors made a
rigid examination OF the subject.
Eyerton convinced the physicians | %
yond all doubt that Thompson was I'M
der strong hypnotic influence and then
proceeded to make him rigid and to
put him through other severe tests.
While the subject was undergoing
these the physicians applied the steth'
oscope to his heart to ascertain
whether the action OF that organ was
affected by the apparent strain. They
found the action OF the heart practi
cally normal.

The death of young Archie Chris
tan, half-back on the University of
Virginia football team, who met his
death in the annual game between
Virginia and Georgetown in Wash
ington Saturday, is sad commentary
on the brutality of the game as
played even under the so-called re-
vised rules. Football has claimed
many victims this year, all of them
young men on the very threshold of
life, whose sad deaths have brought
sorrow and distress to homes all over
the land. The game has reached
that point of sacrifice of human life
which demands its radical revision or
in lieu thereof its abolition.

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER l6, 1909,
FREDERICKSBURG TO COLO
NAL BEACH.

From information at hand 1t
seems that there is we'll defined
plan on foot to construct an electric
railroad from some point on the r.,
F. & P. K. X. TO the thriving town
of Colonial Beach, in Westmoreland
county. Behind the movement are
said to be Washington business men
and capitalists. who earnestly ex-
pect the plan to be successful. Ru-
NOR has it that the road contem-
plated is to run from Quantico to
the Beach. but we place small faith
in this part of the rumor because II
is far more feasible to construct such
a road from Fredericksburg to Colo
NAL Beach. We believe that the
route from this city to that point is
more practical. because of the lay OF
the country, and We likewise believe
that the traffic on which such a road
would have to depend would be far
greater. In addition, while not in
formed at this time as to the respec-
tive distances of Fredericksburg and
Quantico from Colonial Beach. we
believe that the route from this city
is the shorter one and road from
here would not have to cross Poto-
mac Greek at anywhere near as wide
a point as if such road were con-
structed from QuanticO. The mat
ter is one the local Business Mems
Association should lose no time in
looking into, because it follows as
matter of course that this road, If
built as far as Colonial Beach, will
in a short time extend the full
length of the Northern Neck, ending
at Reedville or some other point IN
Northumberland or Lancaster. The
building of this road would mean a
tremendous boom for this city's
trade. as it would bring US the valu-
able business Of the Northern Neck,
with all that that implies. An cleo
trio road on both sides of the Kappa
hammock has long been the hope Of
Fredericksburg business men, and we
should lose no time in looking into
every move which promises realiza-
ton of this hope.
