Forest Ranger Examination To
Fill Many Vacancies On
National Forests.

Albuquerque, a October 3.-Ar
examination to fill vacancies in
the ranger force on all Nationa'
Forests in District 3will be held
October % and 26. From this
examination it is expected that
70 appointments will be made on
National Forests in this District.
The examination will be held
at the headquarters of each Ma
tional Forest in the District, at
the following places: Douglas,
Flagstaff, Nogales, Prescott, SAT-
ford, Snowflake, Roosevelt, Spr-
ingerville, and Tncson, Arizona !:
Harrison and Memo, Arkansas /;
Defuniak Spring, Florida; Ala
mogordo, Albuquerque, Capt.
tan, Gallup, Magdalena, Santa
Fe, Silver City, New Mexico, and
Cache, Oklahoma.
While the examination is en-
tirely along practical lines and
knowledge Of field conditions
rather than book learning is con-
sidered essential, the opportuni-
ties for those applicants with
educational advantages are con
siderably increased.
The rapid development of the
National Forests is making con
tinually increasing demands up
on those engaged in their man
agement, and men with ability
to assume responsibility and
serve i'll supervisory capacities
are in demand. These more res
ponsible positions on the Natio-
nal Forests are filled by promo
tion from lower grades, so that
anyone entering as ranger is
eligible for promotion to any of
the more responsible and higher
paid places, including that of
Forest Supervisor.

least q years of age, not more
than 40, of good character, tenn
perate, and in good physical con-

RAILROADS Entering Into Practice
Of Forestry.

Realizing the advantage of al
assured future timber supply, a
number of railroads are adding
to their forest holdings and ma.
naging their forest properties for
the production of "a sustained
yield of cross-ties for their own
roads.
The success and economy of pre-
servative treatment now make it
possible to use for cross-ties wood
that are cheaper and more abun-
dant than the woods of longer
life. By their recent purchases
of tracts of lobloIly pine the rail
roads are. showing their apprecia-
tion of this fact.
The practice of forestery by
railroads is especially significant,
in that it includes, in addition to
conservative management, the
commercial utilization of timber
of lower grade. In a number of
cases planting is done, also with
view to tie production, though
such planting is usually a subor-
dinate part of the forest policy.

ELoUR MARKET GONE.

The high price of wheat and flour in
the United States is having its effect in
the Orient, China in particular, where
other cereal foods are abundant. In 1907
there were imported into China from all
countries about 100000 tons of -four, of
which about 10000 tons came from
America. Since 1907 the import of
American flour has steadily decreased
until now it has almost ceased. 1t is re-
ported that the stocks of American
standard -four in Shanghai for Chinese
consumption are wholly depleted, and
only small stocks of American -four are
held for the bakeries for the foreign
market. This condition is due to three
causes, low exchange which naturally
discOurages imports in all lines. high
prices Of flour throughout the world ex-
cept China, and, most important Of all
for local purposes, the low price of rice
in this market. The use of -four upon a
large scale as the food of the Chinese
depends upon its price as compared
with rice. With rice cheaper than -four
for the same food value, the Chinese
prefer rice. 1t is therefore motives of
economy and not preference for -four
that lead to its consumption.
If the assumption of J. J. Hill that all
Of our wheat viii soon be required for
home consumption is true. the loss Of
the Oriental market for flour will not
be felt. and John Chinaman will be vel
come to his ChOpsticks and bowl of rice.
In any event. flour will have to be
cheaper than rice if the Chinese are in
duced to purchase it, which condition is
not apt to prevail in the future.

nut IN DEEP WATER.

Another one of the University of Chi
cago professors has made a bid for
fame by delivering a lecture on The
Education Of the Savage Child" in
which he denounced society for the neg
lect Of the science of eugenics, at which
he declared the savage excels. The pro-
fessor insists that one lesson we should
learn from the uncivTized is what So
ciety's duty should be in enforcins
proper child raising. He further de-
clares:
The savage points the way for US in
this respect. With ali his formal in
sUuction, he lays down certain rules of
marrying and obligations of various
sorts which make the child consistently
useful.
There would be no criminals TODAY if

trained TO grow up SO that they never
think of their own wants until they
have aided their neighbors in securing
the necessities of life. How fine some
thing of this sort would be among US"

UNCLE SANS FREAK NOTE.
How National Bank Bill Of Double
Value Fooled Hotel Clerk.

indianapolis starr
Imperfect or misprinted bank notes
sometimes. though rarely, slip past the
eyes of the inspectors in the United
States bureau of engraving and print
ing. Il is said that $50 national bank
note was the most remarka bic misprint
that ever escaped the government en-
ploye and found it way into circulation.
1t was discovered in a peculiar way.
says the Washington Post. A clerk in
a. Chicago hotel, in making up his ac-
counts one day, found a discrepancy he
couldn't explain. He placed the pile OF
bills on his left-hand side, and as he
counted each one turned the note over
and deposited il on pile at his right.
He found that when he counted from
left to right his cash exactly balanced,
but when he counted it back again
shortage Of $50 was shown. After spend
ing two hours in vain endeavOr to ma
out what was the matter, he called IN
the manager
The manager had no better success.
Backward and forward he counted the
bills but always with the same result
one time the cash balanced and the neat
the shortage was developed. Finally
each bill was examined separately, both
diverse and reverse.
And then the mystified men discov-
cred the cause Of their trouble. One OF
the bills had the design Of $50 on the OBJ
verse and that Of S100 on the reverse.
The clerk had received the bill as SlOU.
The United States treasury was com
municated with. and 1t was admitted
that such a bill was out and that the
department had a record of 1t. 1t was
discovered in 1890 that one sheet Of bank
notes Of the denomination of $50 and
800, printed for the Aetna National
bank of Kansas City. had been reversed
in the press. One plate bore the OBJ
verse Of q $50 bill at the top and the
diverse of a 500 bill at the bottom. The
other plate bore the reverse of the two
notes.
After each sheet was printed it was
laid aside TO dry before being run
through for the diverse printing. In
some way the -pressman turned one
sheet upside down. with the result that
two misprinted bills came forth-One
with a $50 diverse and S100 reverse, the
other with a 500 diverse and a $50 re-
verse.
The cashier of the bank was the first
to become aware Of the error. He found
that something was wrong after he had
paid out the note with the $50 face and
the 800 back by coming across the one
with the 500 face and the $50 back. The
note was held by the cashier and re-
turned to the treasury and destroyed. a
perfect note being issued I'm its place.
The error note is now in the posses
sion Of a collector of paper money. who
values il at several thousand dollars
