BaOkE.JAIt LAST TUESDAY,.

John Smith, the sixteen-yesr-
old horse thief who is awaiting
trial for having stolen . horse at
Orogrande four or five months
Ago, made a most daring attempt
to break Jail last Tuesday morn
ing during the momentary alb
sence of jailer Murphy.
The prisoners had all had their
breakfasts as usual, Tuesday
morning, and the excecise hours
OF from eight to ten were in ef-
feet when MIR. Murphy was called
upon to deiiever some documents
to sheriff Denney, who was on
the streets. While down town
he got the mail from the post
Office and this he delivered to the
prl-Oners, as soon as he arrived
back at the Jail, at which time
he. found everything in evident
safety the same as when he had
left short time before. This
all happened up to nine O'Clock.
AnDu nine thirty it was 'liscov-
eren that Smith had secured Il
coal stove shaker and had made
a hole in the north end of the
Jail large enough to admit of his
crawling through and with lhe
aid of a rope, made of strips from
a pair of overalls had gotten to
the ground and started for the
fl l's, thence to the foothills 1t
was a simple matter for the fol-
lowers to keep the right trail as
far as the nils and then thus was
lost. Although thorough searches
were made, those on the track
made no Roadway in finding
their man so they eventually b. d
to u abandon the search as dark
ness was coming on.
Early yesterday morning
Sheriff Denney was awakened by
one of his neighbors who said
there Was SOMEONE under their
house, they having heard the
man cough. He at once thought
of Smith aud hastened tn the
place. AS he was nearing there
his man crawled out from under
the house and started ON the run.
Not having seen Mr.. Denney,
the latter gentleman was soon
able to nearly reach Smith when
he called a halt which was readi-
ly responded to. Smith is now
safe in Jail once more and repairs
have heen made on the Jail SO as
to make the place manproof. 1t
was from this same cali the man
escaped a year ago.

THE FIRST AEROPLANE BUILT BY A
WOMAN.

Typewriter, secretary, lawyer,
aeronaut Miss Lillian Todd has
been all these, and she tells about
it in the Woman's Home Com
paniOn for November. She is the
first woman who has built an
aeroplane-and she designed it
herself.
From earliest childhood she
has been interested in machines
and has patented a number of
inventions. Like the Wrights,
sh has worked very quietly and
perfected her machine without
fuss Or feathers. Her description
of the machine has a feminine
touch.
The outline of the machine is
original, though very recently
approximated abroad; it is based
on Il minute study Of the wing,
nf the a!hatrosc IN the Mreen'r
of Natural History. The full
length of the machine is forly
feet, and the three planes are
parallel in the curves. | have
gone on the principle that if two
planes are good, three are better,
to support a heavy engine, when
the weight is not materially in
creased. The framework is spe-
cially-selected, straight-grained
spruce. The wires holding the
planes are the best imported
piano wire. The upper covering
of the planes is finest unbleach-
ed muslin; the lower, which sus-
tains most of the strain, is of sew
en-ounce army duck. These
coverings are substantially sewed
on-a departure much different
from man-made machine"

ptoOCo "StC ttHpIONSu UT u0VelOp-
ed to such an extent as to fur
nish more water than formerly.
For the most part this class Of
work is done in cooperation with
stOckmen. 1t is to their interest
that their cattle should not have
to gO long distances for water and
it is alsn to the interest of the
Forest Service that more range
he developed by increasing the
water supply.
Another way in which the Ser
vice helps stockmen is to cooper
ate with them in the construc-
tiOn of drift fences. When these
fences are advan'agp"lsly situat-
ed it means considerable aid to
the stocKmen i'll handling his
stock. As a general rule, when
a proposition Of this kind arises
and it is found by the Foresl
officers that the construction of
a drift fence will not interfere
wICn the handling OF any mans S
stock, the Forest Service Will
furnish the material for the con-
struction of the fence, while the
interested stockmen furnish the
la abor in the actual construction
of the fence.
The Roosevelt dam on the Salt
River Valley, which the Recla-
nation Service has almost COM
pleted, has almost completed,
has made it necessary for the
Supervisor Of the Tonto National
Forest to secure a launch. The
Supervisors office at Roosevelt,
Arizona, is situated on the south
side of the lake formed by The
dam, with the other Government
buildings of the Reclamation
Service. The greater part fthe
Forest lies north of the canyon
and it is necessary to cross the
lake in order tOreach it.
When completed the dam will
form a lake twenty-four miles in
length, with one arm formed by
Salt River and another by Tonto
Greek. The launch enables For
est officers to reach objective
points much more readily than
is possible by horse or wagon
over the rough slopes of the cafi-
Ons. A large scow towed by the
launch is used for transporting
horses and supplies. Formerly
the roads and trails followed the
cafiOns, but the new lake has
now cut off these routes Of travel.
When one realizes the large
area of National Forest lands
comprised within District 8.
about3O. 600, 900 acres, and can
also rsaliEe that many of the
Forests are in 9 virgin state, It'll
is possible to appreciate the need
Of these permanent improve
ments which are planned to make
oil parts Of the Forests accessible.

GOVERNMENT IMPROVES FORESTS
Of the SOUTHWEST

W tWe v00tuWSot
Albuquerque, Nov. 10-Dis-
trict Forester A. @. Ringland has
just issued summary report of
permanent improvement work on
che National Forests in District
No. 8 for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1909.
1t will be source Of surprise
to many who do Lot understand
the work Of the Forest Service to
learn of the permanent improve
ment work which has been carried
on in the National Forests. On
the Forests of Arkansas, Arizona,
and New Mexico the Service
spent during the last fiscal year
was $6S, ,923.84 for permanent i'm
provemenIs. The primary object
of eXpending money in this
way is To MAKE the Forests more
accessible To the public. Conse-
qdently a very large percentage
o1 this money was. spent In the
construction and repair of roads
aud trails and many miles of
telephone lines were also con-
strucIed. The report shows that
a large percentage of the money
was expended In the construction
and repair OF 203 miles of trails,
thirty-two miles Of wagon road,
and 2O6 miles OF telephone lines.
Uncle Sam is furnishing rang
ers, as rapidly as funds will per-
mt, With neat little houses
which are generally located III an
advantageous place on the dis
trlct of the forest which they
patrol, aud barns, Out-buildings,
pasture fences and corrals are
built. For the most part the
houses consist either of three or
four rooms and are furnished
with stoves, tables, and chairs.
In quite a number of cases type
writers are also being furnished
the rangers because of the in
creased alnountof correspondence
which they have with their Su-
pervlsors and the public. Every
thing possible is done to MAKE
the rangers comfortable, for it
has been found that q man who
continually lives in the open
must hasea o comfortable house
in order to accomplish good work.
In a number Of cases very attrac-
tive log houses have been build
and many OF the rangers show
considerable ingenuity in making
these houses very attractive both
on the exterior and interior.
To effect an efficient Admini-
stration of the Forest it has been
found that quick communication
is an absolute necessity. This is
especially true in regard to the
fire question. IL . ranger can
immediately telephone for help
when he discovers q FIRE rather
than ride ell dag to prOcure this
help it surely means that the ex-
pense involved N constructing
telephone lines il absolutely me-
ce'Sary' The telephone lines con-
Structed by the Service are also
sgreat help to ranchers, as can
Oe easily appreciated Wnen zone
