RICH VALLEYS ARE
TO Be OPENED UP

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. U.s.
1.-The forest service is encouraging
bona-fide settlement in the national
forests of the west" said Henry s.
Graves, successor to Clifford Pinchot
as chief forester. "All declarations
to the contrary may be disregarded,"
added Mr.. Graves. "for those state
ments come from parties unauthor-
lied to speak and unfamiliar with
present day conditions.
ut is to our interest to have set
tiers in the national forests, and the
more of them the better we will like
it. For every settler who makes his
permanent home in the forest is d.
rectly interested in the preservation
of the forest, for protection of the
forest means protection Of his home.
You will find, If you 60 into the rec
ords, that many settlers are acquir-
ing homes on agricultural lands with
in the national forests, taking adj
vantage of the special act OF June
II. 1906, which provides a means
for homesteading agricultural lands
within national forests"
In discussing the forestry ques-
ton, Mr.. Graves made the declara-
ton that will come as a surprise to
the people of the west, that the for
estry service is today at work on
plan for opening to homestead en-
try, under the act of June II, a num-
Der of rich valleys in the national
forests of the Northwest-lands that
today. are covered by heavy stand
of timber, but which, when cleared,
will make splendid farms. No def
mite plan for opening these lands has
yet been perfected, but a scheme will
be worked out and the lands will
then be listed for homesteading.

There are just four places to put

Most fruit men try their hand al

reputation for honesty and good

Five Ways to Raise Ship.

first is with steel pontoons and
chains. but how are they going to
pass the chains under the bottom?
You can't tunnel through mud as you
can through sand. If they should sue
coed in fastening the chains TO the
sides and then harness on the steel
pontoons the lifting will be unequal.
Another way would be with air
bags. One Of the faults in this sys-
tenn is the absence of a valve TO reg
ulate the air pressure TO equalize it
with that of the water.

The pressure at the depth to which

foot of the dam when the water was
pumped out from inside ii would be
subject TO a pressure Of about l.T1S

could not withstand it, and there is
apparently no way that braces can be
placed so as TO hold it.

There is one way Of removing sand.

would be practically useless, for as
fast as they sucked out the mud It
would pour into the holes. and also be-

on the bottom of the harbor TO be car

vice which Judge Shields performed In
the recent campaign to preserve the
freedom and integrity of the States

In that great battle for constitu-
tional liberty Judge Shields stood as
a stone wall for the cause. He never
faltered. 1t was his courageous lepu-
diation of the Patterson machine ana
his defiance of the crooked primary
deal that gave heart and faith to the
neonle of Tennessee, and If there 10
one man in the State who deserves
more praise than any other for that
glorious victory in August that man
is John K. Shields. He is the popular
idol OF the friends of good govern
ment and they rejoice at his elevation
to the highest judicial position IN the
State.
Judge Shields is honest, fearless
and able. He will make one OF tnt
greatest chief justices in the history
Of this State. His opinions are equal
ID the ablest ever delivered by any 1u
rist whose name adorns the 1urispru
dence of Tennessee. The Herald con
