LARGE ADDITION TO THE
MOAPA FOREST RESERVE

The president has signed a proclama-
ton creating an addition of approx
mately As, 900 acres to the Moapa ma
tional forest. This addition is at the
northwest corner of the Charleston
division of the Moapa forest, mainly
in townships II, Is and 10 south,
ranges "a and IS east, M. d. M. The
Moapa forest is located in the south
east corner of Nevada.
AS is usual in Nevada, the timber
cover of this area is not of high grade,
but on account of the scarcity of tim
Der throughout the state, even the
poorest grades are eagerly sought by
the operators of the mines and by the
settlers for fencing, fuel and building
purposes. The mines at Rhyolite and
Johnny are located so near this adj
dition that much of their timber is
drawn from the area. The total stand
upon the addition is estimated at
100000 feet of saw timber, consist
ing mainly of yellow pine with a little
Alpine fir, and 100000 cords of cord
wood, q portion of which is adaptable
as mining timbers and posts. In the
past about 300,0 900 feet of saw timber
has been cut under little or no super
vision or regard for the future wei
fare of the timber supply. The super
visor of the Moapa forest is now en-
powered to make sales from this area
to any citizens and all such timber
cutting will be carried on under regu-
lations which provide the fullest use of
the available timber and the future
improvement of its quality and
quantity.
No running streams head in the
area, but there is a snowfall of w
water holes and springs at a consider
able distnace from the mountains on
which the addition is located derive
their flow from the water which sinks
into the ground on the hills.
Grazing on the area win be con-
Quoted under the usual regulations of
the department of agriculture, which
provide for the fullest possible use of
the forage crop without allowing
over-grazing which would prevent the
proper reproduction of the grasses and
damage the ground cover, which pre-
vents erosion and keeps such runoff
as there is in its normal condition.
The departmental regulations are
planned to insure to bona fde local
settlers the greatest possible advan-
tages in the use of the range. Outside
grazers are admitted to the use of the
range. only after the needs of the
local men have been satisfied.
The Moapa forest is in charge of
Acting Forest Supervisor II. f.
Mathews, whose headquarters are at
Las Vegas, Nevada. All departmental
business as regards either grazing or
the purchase of timber should be ad-
dressed to him. The Moapa forest is
included in administrative district No.
4, the central office of which is located
at Ogden, Utah.

The congressman hadn't before met
the charming and sprightly lady and
the lobbyist introduces them. Then
the lobbyist apparently turns his whole
attention to the lady at his right.
The conversation drifts a while, and
then the G. and S. lady asks casually:
Chow did the speaker treot you in
the matter of committee assignments?''

Congressman, not without pride.

The third and last class consists Of
the professional lobbyists, and this
class deserves separate treatment. The
professional lobbyist is sometimes a
former member of the house or senate,
more often he is a small-fry politician
whose influence with congressman is
very doubtful. The services the pro-
fessional lobbyist renders may be
merely to appear before the senate and
house committees to make oral argu-
ments for or against measures. Or,
perhaps, being known as a good fellow,
he works individually with senators
and representatives, using such meth
DDS with each statesman as the circum
stances seem to require. If he belong
to the smaller fry, his only duty. may
be to furnish secret information, stolen
more often than not, and to keep tab on
the personal weaknesses and short

The high-grade professional lobbyist
of the ''personal suasiono subdivision
very likely makes it a rule never to
go near the capitol. He finds the
conditions more to his liking in a cozy
corner of a hotel lobby or across the
snowy linen on a cafe table. Or, if he
belong to the upper tendon of the lob
by, his work is done mainly at the
clubs and entertainments in private
homes.
The new congressman from a rural
community has been assigned to a com-
mittee which has some real work to
do. He is lucky and he knows it and
plunges with ardor into his tasks. One
day he is amazed to receive an invita-
tion to dine at a home the doors of
which he had supposed only swung to
the magic of social prestigs. Every
body is agreeable to him, the lobbyist
who procured him the invitation
especially so. At the table he finds a
very charming and sprightly lady at
his right. Next to her is the lobbyist
though the fact that he is a lobbyist
is unknown to the congressman. The
stage setting, you see, had been care
fully arranged.

COOKS CLAIMS REJECTED

The University of Copenhagen has
passed adversely upon DR.. Cooks
claim to the discovery of the north
pole. This action was taken after a
thorough examination of the records
and data submitted by Cook. The
consensus of opinion among the scien-
fists was that the records, as tending
to prove the pole had been reached
were valueless.
Commander Peary, it will be re-
membered, some time ago said that
Cook, when the latter made his an
nouncement, had handed to the
public gold brick.' But many peo-
pie believed in Cook and thought
that Peary acted from personal pique.
1t may be that Cook reached the
pole. If he did he is unfortunate in
not having complete record of his
trip.

Senate have made Senator Money
minority leader. This is great tri-
butte to the learning and the ability of
Mr.. Money, and Mississippians are
justly proud of the fact that another

worthy of leadership in the national
legislature. Only a few years ago
Senator Bailey, Of Texas, who was

sippi was minority leader in the House.

Congressman Spight has introduced
a bill in the House of representatives
providing for the refund of the cotton
tax money collected by the federal
government for six years, beginning
with the year 1868. This is not the
first time such bill has been intro
duced, and if we remember right Mr..
Spight has himself introduced this
b before. But no harm can be done
in persisting and there is possibility
that this bill may pass. This tax,
levied upon the southern farmer by a
victorious section, was a most unjust
and burdensome one and It would be
oaly right to refund the money to the
states from which it was taken.
Should the bill become a law this
state would get nearly nine million
dollars.
