A short time since ruling was issued b,
the general land Office at Washington that

the department to mean there should be nc
absence from the claim. and il there wa.
the one returning to the land would be re
quired to live on the land "A months con
secu, vely from the time OF his return. Thi:
ruling was severe hardship on entrymen
in that i, was practically impossible ts
remain on the land without leaving il for
certain time. and every person who did sc
endangered the permanency OF his resi-,
dence.
This ruling however. has just been re
scinded by the department, in le',e'
received in the city from S. v. Proudft.
assistant commissioner Of the general land
Office, which contains the following state
meut:
..You are advised that. as held by the

Under this ruling. those who have beer

Washington, Feb. Henry 8.
Graves, who was appointed by Presi-
dent Taft to succeed Clifford Pinchot.
removed, today assumed the job of
United States forester. Graves was
director of the Yale University for
estry school, and for two years was
assistant chief of the old division of
forestry under Pinchot.
The new forester was born In Mar
ietta, Ohio, and brought up in Ando-
yer, Mass, where his father was
for many years a member of h fac
ulty of Phillips Academy. He prepar
ed for college at this academy and
entered Yale with the class Of '92. In
college he PLAYED quarterback on the
varsity football team and gained high
rank in scholarship. He was led to
axe up the study of forestry by Mr..
Pinchot. After a course of graduate
study at Harvard. he joined Mr.. Pin
chot at Blitmore, N. c., where on the
estate of George w. Vanderbilt, the
first application of scientific forestry
to American conditions was being
made. After his work at Biltmore,
Mr.. Graves went abroad for technical
training in European professional
schools of forestry, since no technical
instruction in forestry was then OBJ
tainable in his country. No other A
merican except Mr.. Pinchot had anti
cipated him in this step: indeed ne
was the second American to enter the
profession.
Mrs. Graves foreign studies were
carried on under the most eminent
of the Old World foresters, Sir Del
trich Brands, principally at Munich.
On his return to the United States
ne was associated with Mr.. Pinchof
IN mis- office as consulting forester in
New York City. When Mr.. Pinchot
became forester of the Department
of Agriculture in July, 1898, Mr..
Graves became his first assistant.
He carried on forest explorations and
Investigations in the West.
He left the forest service in 1870
to become the head of the Yale forest
school. In the intervals of his work
at Yale he mad a number of trips
