WASHINGTON, D. C., June N Following the movement of the larger part of the executive force of the For. est service from Washington into the field, and the division of the western country into six forest districts, each in charge of q district forester, the prac- tical management of Uncle Sam's for ests on a business basis is being pushed forward even more effectively than heretofore. Only the general admins trative heads of the service and the men engaged in government forestry work in the eastern part of the country retain their headquarters in Washing ton.
 For the better administration of he 194 100000 acres of National forest land, this vast territory is divided in;o li9 national forests, eaeh Tn charge of a forest supervisor. In all cases, the supervisor is selected for his wide practical knowledge of the west, and of numbering and grazing particularly. He may or may not be a trained fOres- ter. If not trained forester himself he has such a man to assist him. It is the business of the forest supervisor and his technical aids to bring their forest gradually to a condition of maxi mum produetiveness To do this requires a great deal of detailed study and skill ful planning. Each step, from the care and protection of the young growth to the numbering of the mature forest must be carefully considered and as carefully executed if the forest is to go on producing trees indefinitely.
 For each of the many lines of work to be carried on in the forest, men with special experience are required. Those who prepare and tend the nurseries must be experienced in raising and caring for young trees. The lumberman, who cruises and estimates timber, helps to plan logging operations, and sees that the scaling is correctly done and that the rules for logging are properly Ob- served, must be an experienced and capable woOdsman. The forest ranger patrols his district of the forest to see that fire and trespass arc prevented, that the range is not overgrazed, that logging regulations are enforced, and that the privileges granted by permit for use of the various forest resources are not abused; he must also be hard

PIPE FUR THE S0X
SCORE RUNS IN PUNCHES AND BEAT ELKS TO A PULP
 -17 TO

In a lop-sided game at School hill park, Sunday afternoon, the White Sox beat the Elks by the score of l7 to ,.
 At least that was what the score was supposed to be. When the Sox were at bat, runs came in so often that the official scorer had his hands full in keeping track of them. But even if he overlooked a few, the Sox still had enough tallies to their credit to win three or four ordinary games.
 Quinleven pitched for the Elks. He did good work, but had TO support. McAfee, a rev man from the east, held down the box for the Sox during the early innings and showed plenty of class. As he did not want to break into the game too strong at the start, he gave way to Griffin, who pitched out the game.
 While the sporting editor would probably be indicted for malfeasance in office, if he stated that the game was good one, the crowd nevertheless took the affair in the proper spirit and enjoyed the comedy, if nothing else, in the game.

 Soon after the war Tim began his search for the flag. lie wrote to the addresses. some he found readily anl secured the pieces. Others had moved; '; but he was insistent, and never gave rp the search, and finally, after many years, he secured the last piece of that historic flag. He then sewed the pieces together with his own hands, and kept the flag until his death several years ago, when he beqpeathed it to Thomas c. Stevenson Post, 26, c. A. R., of Box bury, Mass, of which post he had beer sentinel for over twenty years.
 The post, while lamenting Tins death, was rejoicod to secure the flag. for it realized tits historic value, and regarded it as the greatest and grandest evidence of patriotism ever known. It has hung in the post hall ever sinc- in glass case, protected from the rav- ages due to exposure. 1t has been re- moved frequently to serve as an ex ample of the past generation to the present generation of the great love borne by men of foreign birth for the flag that stood for liberty and union.

Iris Bunch Slips Big Package to

The Iris theater baseball team put another one over on the Majestics yes terday afternoon, winning the fourth game to be played by these two aggre- gations, by 10 to 1 score.
 The Maiestics probably meant well and Ned Kellogg, who ofiiciated in the box, might have pulled ont with at least more even score, if he had re- ceived anything in the nature of sup port. This necessary feature was con spicuous by its absence, as far as the Oak street aggregation was concerned.
 King, who twirled for the Iris team pitched hitless ball for five innings. After that the opposition had some thing like q look in, if they had taken advantage of it.
 Great excitement was manifest dur ing the game-Ovcr the fact that both sides couldn t lose.

MUSIC BALCONY ON NEW FIRE HOUSE
 BUILDING
QUARTERS PROVIDED FOR BAND CONCEPTS AND PRACTICE
 MEETINGS

Changes which have been made in water department building, to be erect ed on thc rear of the city hall lot, pro. vide for permanent stand at which the Globe City band can give its week ly concerts, during the summer season.
 On the front of the building, bal eOny, about ten by twenty feet in size, will be erected. Electric lights will be installed to provide the necessary il- lumination.
 As the meeting hall, over the water department office, will provide good meeting place for the band. the pro posed addition to the fire hall will give the band boys an excellent stand for concerts. The location, while not di- rectly on Broad street, is near enough to the center of town to give everyone n chance to enjoy the music.
 As the summer season will be prae. tically over before the new fire house is completed, the band boys are now engaged in circulating a petition, ask ing the county board of supervisors for permission to practice in the jury room, on regular practice nights.
 It is probable that the request will be granted, as the band boys are do- ing excellent work in this city, with practically DO remuneration for their services and are deserving of consid- eration.

The office of grazing looks after the range, co-operates in the enforcement of quarantine regulations, and issues permits by which the grazing of stock within each national forest is so reg ulated as to improve rather than de. stroy its grazing capacity. It studies the best means of reseeding the range and conducts Investigations and deviscs means of checking the growth of poisonous plants which are injurious to live stock.
 The office of silviculture makes a special study of the management of timbered lands in order to make them yield the largest permanent returns. It makes timber sales on the national for ests. plants trees on bare national for est land, makes estimates and forest working plans, investigates forest con diticns and all problems connected with the life and growth of trees, and gives advice where possible to private par ties who are interested in similar lines of work.
 The work of the office of products is the determination of all ways and means possible for utilizing wood and timber, in order to make the business of forestry both economical and profit able. Markets and wood-using indus tries everywhere are being investigated, statistics of forest products are being collected, and the comparative strength of building timbers with reference to their use for various purposes is being determined by accurate scientific tests. The office of products also makes study of the best ways of preserving timbers, and co-operates with private telephone companies, railroads and oth- CT timber using interests in determin. ing the best methods applicable in each case. Experimental treating plants for this purpose are being established throughout the country.
 In short, the forest service is GU. deavoring to bring about the practice of true forestry--''the preservation of forests by wise use. :" And the key. note of the entire service, the watch word of each member, from the chief down to the forest guard, is eonserva tion-the devotion of every resource to the best possible use, and the preserva ton of all renewable resources for the use of future generations.

TIM REAGAN'S FLAG
A Curiosity Sure, But Breathing Pa
 triotisnl Clear Through

From the Washington National Tribune.
 During the Seven Days battle in Virginia in the summer of 1862, q
 number of Union soldiers were taken
 prisoners by the enemy, and confined ;n the several rebel prisons. Among
 them was one Timothy J. Reagan, a
 patriotic Irishman. who emigrated from
 his own country just before the out
 break of the rebellion and came to the
 United States to enjoy, as he sad, the
 blessings of civil and religious liberty
 which were denied him in the land of
 his birth.
 When Lincoln called for men 10 de-
 fcnd the Union it was not strange that
 the call was heard by Reagan, who
 waited only to settle his affairs, and
 then enlisted on the lth of June, 1861,
 in Company E, Ninth Massach chusetts,
 from which organization he was hon orably discharged by expiration of ser.
 vice June 2l, 1861.
 IL fell to Tim s lot to be assigned to Libbcy prison, where he and others were immured, and where they remain ed stanch and loyal in the face of the suffering and starvation. The Fourth of July in 1862 was rapidly approach ing, and the Union prisoners grieved that Independence day might come aid go and they be deprived of the sight of the dear old flag for which they fought. The thought was so bitter to them that they consulted together and exercised their ingenuity for q possible way out of the difficulty. They finally decided upon a plan. Tim had a new white woolen shirt, for which he had paid an exorbitant sum little while before. Others had blue shirts. These they cut up for the stars and the blue ground. But what were they to do for the stripes? They took up col lection, each man contributing all he had, and with this they succeeded in getting somebody on the outside to buy strips of red and white woolen, which they were osteusibly to make into shirts. They succeeded, and with their needles and thread they sewcd the stripes together, inserted the union in the corner, and, finally, on the 3d day of July iA 1869, had completed an Amer. ican flag with the strangest history known to mankind. On the morning of the Fourth, while some watched the guard, who was at the extreme end of the great hall and could not sec be- yond and up into the dome of the building, others climbed up into the rafters under the roof and there spread the American flag, and under it they sat during the day, singing patriotic songs at the top of their voices, aud l were many times ordered by the guat' to stop singing their - Yankee songs. | At sundown them removed the flag. | and then came the question what dispo- | sition to make of it. There Tim s native came into play. He sug yested that they rip the flag into strips, and that each man wrap strip of it | around his body on the inside of his shirt. This they did. They had been unknown to each other up to their en- rance into the prison, and when re. moved from there they would never see 'ach other again in all probability.
 Tim, with a foresight worthy of the ubject, wrote in his memorandum book
