GRAZING LANDS NOT INCLUDED
Secretary Wilson to Take All Such
From Reserves.

stockmen who hold permits to Craze in
forest reserves are protesting against
the elimination of non-timbered lands
from forest reserves, Secretary Wilson
announced today that the law does not
contemplate the inclusion in the re-
serves of any but timbered lands and
that whenever non-timbered lands are
found within reserves they must be re-
stored to the public domain.
In making the elimination he will
use discretion to protect the water sup
plies of cities and towns, but beyond
that he will insist that all large areas
of grazing lands, particularly around
the outer boundaries, be taken out. He
holds that grazing lands cannot be re-
served to prevent stream pollution.

Prune Crop Outlook Good.

Oakland = Several prominent prune
growers of the Umpqua valley state
that the prospects for bumper prune
crop were never brighter. The outlook
is also fine for large crops of apples,
pears, peaches and cherries. Several
of the large orchards have been provid-
ed with smudge pots to be used in the
event of late frost, which is hardly
probable this season as balmy spring
weather is prevailing and the date for
a possible late frost is about past.

the city to own a system of water works of it's own.
 We therefore submit this report of our opinion upon the present condi- tion of the water works system of the Putnam Water company. and our sug- gestions as to the individuality of the continuance 'by this committee at this time of it's Investigations until the other committee has reported, for the consideration of the counsil; this com- mittee will be glad to act and com- plete it's duties if the council shall so direct or will refrain from action for the time being if the council shall deem best.
 Gauge Imperative.
 The committee begs leave to earn estIy recommend that recording pressure gauge be immediately placed either in the headquarters of the fire department or some other proper place in the city. so that the council shall know what the pressure shall be at all times until this whole matter is adjusted, with the suggestion that if this is done it will be an incentive to the water company to make larger expenditure in the running of it's pumps more hours of the day and night, so that the water pressure shall at least be more adequate to the sit uation until the whole matter is finally adjusted.

to California, but that she would soon return and be with them.
 The offer was attractive to them and they had agreed to take the places. They had come on from New York to JeWett City and from the lat ter place had been taken to the "es- tate" somewhere in VoIuntown. The girls could not tell just exactly where the house is, but they said that they were cordially received on the eve been given good supper and were favorably impressed with their new home. The next morning they made the distracting discovery that they were in house of immortality and at once made known their intention to without many and strong protests from those in charge of the place, nor before they had been relieved of such money as they had. They had walked several miles and were nearly exhausted when they met their friend on the road.
 Telegrams sent to the addresses of their people in New York, telling them of the plight of their daughters, did not reach them as promptly as such messages are expected to- so the Jew ett City man, acting as guardian of the deluded girls. bought their tickets from JeWett City to their home town and sent them away, still suffering from the shock of their experiences.
 Since that time letters from the par entS of the girls have reached the Jewett City man. thanking him pro- fusely for the kindly office that he per- formed and enclosing money to reim purse him for his expenditures. The startling after-feature of the case is the statement that the arcb-fiend of such plight is an easern Connecticut woman.
