DIES FROM Dogs SCRATCH.
Four-Year-old Boy Is Victim OF
uvdronhoh

wAVERLY, N. Y. October IA one
inch scratch from the paw of a rabid dog
was responsible for the death yesterday
of George Murray. the four-year-old child
Of a local merchant. The boy was play
ing near his house one afternoon three
weeks ago with two other boys. when
they were suddenly attacked by a strange
dog. The other two were bitten, and
were sent to the Pasteur Institute for
treatment as soon as 1t became known
that the dog was mad. The Murray
child's injury was SO superficial. how
ever that no alarm was felt Yesterday
he developed unmistakable symptoms of
rabies and died today in great agony.

water-power trust?" Mr.. Pinchot was

water-power trust?' Mr.. Pinchot was
asked.
I'm my Judgment. the tendency to con.
solidation which is now running through
all industrial enterprise will necessarily
in the end lead to the consolidation of
water-power interests, exactly as it has
to the consolidation of the steel and oil
interests The government may not pre-
vent consolidation. but it is not too late
to control 1t.
Congress Must Get Busy.
Congress must act upon the disposal
of the coal lands on the public domain.
The question will be whether the title to
the lands shall remain in the United
States and the coal deposits leased, or
whether title in fee simple to the lands
and the coal shall be granted.
President Taft has expressed himself
In favor of a conservation commission,
and l am in hearty accord with that sug-
gestion. l think that the conservation
policies will be among the most important
questions before Congress at the coming
session.
Mr.. Pinchot will remain in Washington
about a week and will then join the con-
gressional boat on the presidential trip
down the Mississippi river.

CONSERVATION DOING FINE
Forester Talks of Everything Except
Friend Ballinger.
CONDITIONS IN THE WEST
Public Sentiment Growing, District
Plan Of Organization Working
and Personnel High.

Clifford Pinchot forester Of the United
trip through the forest reserves of the
western country, full of enthusiasm for
conservation policies and intent upon
sticking to his Job and conducting the for
estry service along the lines already laid
down.
To group of newspaper men gathered
in his office today the forester talked in
terestingly upon every phase of the con-
servation situation except the one phase
upon which his interviewers were burning
to question him-the Pinchot-Ballinger
controversy, so-called. Nothing doing on
that subject.
He's Tickled to Death.
THE general condition of the forest
conservation service in the west has never
been 80 good as at present. said Mr.. Pin
chot- ''The district plan Of organization
is working admirably, the personnel OF
the service is high and 1 was delighted
with the whole situation.
Public sentiment in favor Of conser-
walton Is growing and Secretary Wilson'S
trip through the west has done a great
deal to foster 1t. That sentiment has been
ascertained through petitions and In pub
lie meetings

rather than limitation.
AT one meeting held by secretary VIII
son in Idaho the people voted to 1
against exemption of the grazing lands
from withdrawal in forest reservations
They said that otherwise the great sheep
growers would get in and eat them up
The receipts from sale Of lumber and
Erazing-land privileges are growing, and
as the counties get one-fourth of these
receipts for schools and roads the project
is regarded with growing favor.
Western People Are Awake.
'The people Of the west are now awake
to the conservation question as never be-
fore President Taft has defined his Do
sition on conservation so as to leave no
doubt that he is thoroughly committed to
the policy. I have returned to my desk
with no thought of leaving the service,
and will continue my work as il has been
outlined.
Congress will have to deal with sew
eral questions in connection with the gen
erai conservation policy. There must be
legislation on the disposal of water-power
sites. Congress must decide whether
water-power sites are to be permanently
alienated or granted for limited period. =
