TO PERMIT MORE GRAZING
IN NATIONAL FORESTS
National Forest Fire Losses Snow
Need of Developing Wider
Use of Range.

/ Washington, January 31.-Re-
ports based upon detailed field exam
nations made by National Forest
officers, of the lands burned over
ir the forest fires of last summer in
Washington and Oregon. which have
been received by the U. S. Depat-
ment of Agriculture, show that the
National Forest timber loss in these
States is about 7OO,O0O,OO0 feet.
This is somewhat less than was in
dicated by the provisional estimates
made shortly after the fires. The
reports also show the Importance,
as a means of protecting the Forest
against fires, of the efforts which ar
being made by the Department to
open new range to stockmen-
OF the Natonail Forests in Wash
ington and Oregon, that on which
the fires extended over the greatest
area was the Colville, with 16O.-
900 acres burned The fires on this
Forest, however, were chiefly sur
face. which are far less destructive
than fires which travel through the
crowns of the trees. 1t is consider
ed by the Forest officers that the
fires on this Forest point clearly
to the value, from the standpoint
of fire prevention, of proper utiliZa-
tion of the range under regulated
grazing. Large parts of this Forest
and also, of the Chelan, Okanogan,
and other forests. are not used by
stock because of their inaccessible
ity, althouh a good supply of for
age is produced. The dry grass and
other herbage both spread the
flames and made them fiercer and
more destructive than they would
have been II the land had been
grazed. One of the objects of Ma
tonial Forest administration is to
open all available range to the
fullest use consistent with preser-
vation of the carrying power of
the range and protection of forest
growth and water supplies.
In carrying out this principle.
where good grazing grounds are at
pieSSut ihdSSSsslpic " SloCh tuc
aim of National Forest administra-
ton is to open means of communi-
cation. through the construction of
driveways. the building of roads
and trails. etc. to the end that
stock may penetrate wherever for
age is to be found and grazing can
properly be permitted. Through the
building of railroads and the push
ing forward of the system of per-
manent improvements which has
been planned for the National For
ests of northern Washington, Idaho
and Montana, II is believed that
much hitherto unused range in
these Forests will soon be opened
to use. The topography of some
of the country is such as to make
IT available ouly from the Canadian
side, but American stock owners
are now beginning to work into 1t
from that side. Another means of
opening more National Forest range
which is being actively employed
by the Department of Agriculture is
the securing of concessions from
railroads in the form of rates and
facilities for shipping stock in and
out of regions where forage is now
going to waste.

Changing Her Face

Any woman not satisfied with her
complexion can remove it and have
a new one. The thin veil OF stifling
half dead cuticle is an sncumbrance
and should be removed to give the
fresh, vigot Gus young skin under
meath chance to show itself and to
breathe.
There is a simple. old-fashioned
home remedy which will always
do the work. Get an ounce OF pure
mercolized wax from your druggist
and apply it at night like cold cream,
washing it off in the morning. The
incredible will gently absorb all the
lifeless skin and leave healthy and
beautiful complexion, as frseh as a
child's. Naturally it takes with it all
such facial blemishes as freckles.

Light In q Borrle

A safe light for going about at
night or where there are infiamma-
BILE materials as into storeroom,
may be made as follows: Take q
long glass bottle and put into it a
piece OF PHOSPHORUS the sieze OF q
pea; upon this pour pure olive oil
heated to the boiling point until this
bottle is about one-third full and
cork tightly. When light is needed
take the cork out and allow the air
to enter, subsequently recorking.
The empty space in the bottle will
then become luminous and give
quite an effective light. If 1t be-
comes dim it can easily be revived
by uncorking the bottle for a few
seconds. One bottle will last Q
whole winter. Small bottles may
also be prepared in this way and
carried in the pocxet.

Apples Are Very Wholesome

All medical practitioners declare
that the most wholesome OF all fruits
is the apple. 1t contains a principle
-malic acid-which las beneficial
action upon the liver. The family
apple supply is as essential as that OF
potatoes.
The system of the young child de-
sires this luscious fruit, and his
palate gives outward manifestatit n
OF that fact when he de6es the bull
dog and the farmers wrath in order
that he may appease his appetite
for apples. We advise the suffer
ers from dyspepsia to eat apples
and cut down their dietary in other
respects.
Sufferers from rheumatism are
also benefited by apples. Indeed
apple is opposed to a number of alb
normal conditions. An old adage
states that an apple day will keep
the doctor away. An apple cate n
after the meal has cleansing and
refrigerant effect upon the mouth
and is in some ways an aid to the
process of digestion.

1t has been understood for soma
time that this arrangement would
be perfected, as Mr.. Flood is close
personal and political friend of SEN
ator Martin, but until to-day moth
ing definite could be learned con-
corning the situation. When Mr..
Flood was seen and asked about the
matter he said;
Yes, as soon as Congress ad-
jour and we are released from
our duties in Washington we will
20 home, and l will then take charge
OF Senator Martins campaign and
push it until the election comes of. -

OPPORTUNITY OF THE

Accomplishments in the Last Session
of Congress

Accomplishments in the Last Session
of Congress
Discussing. in the columns Of the
New York World, the accomplish
ment OF the session Of Congress
just ended, Representative Oscar
o. Underwood. the Democratic lead
sr of the House, maintains that the
Democrats have kept their pledge.
He says:
They took the appointment of
the committees out OF the hand OF
the Speaker
They reduced the running ex-
penses OF the House % per cent.
thereby saving about $3.50, 900.
They passed a bill requiring
publicity before and after elections.
They gave the country a Cana
dian reciprocity agreement.
They passed a resolution provid.
ing an amendment to the Con-
stitution to elect Senators by q d.
rect vote of the people.
They passed the Arizona and
New Mexico Statehood resolution.
They revised the wool, cotton
and chemical schedules.
They passed Free List biz.
They have done we'll under the
circumstances"
To this presentment, and through
the same medium, Representative
James T. Mann, the Republican
leader, replies.
This session OF Congres I'll be
known as the session at which
tariff schedules were made to order.
The wool bill is the result OF an
effort 10 make water and oil mix.
1t is neither flesh, fish nor fowl.
The Free List bill is afreak.
The Cotton, Iron and Steel and
Chemical bill is monstrosity.
"All were properly and promptly
vetoed. showing the incapacity Of
the Democrats to make tariff"
II such feeble response is the
best that Republicans may offer,

party an opportunity the like OF
which it has not had since 1892

NEW RACE IS FOUND
IN THE FROZEN NORTH
Arctic Tribe Had Never Seen White
Man or Indian

man or Indian
A dispatch OF the 18th inst. from
New York says:
A race OF people who had never
before beheld white man or m
Indian has been discovered in the
artic regions of British Columbia
by Vilhjmar Stefsnson, leader OF
the American Museums scient' &c
expedition, which left here In April,
1908, according to letter received
from him in Brooklrn today.
Ia his letter, which is dated
Mouth OF the Dease River, Octo-
Der, Is, 1910" and it is the first
Intelligence received from the party
within year, Steienssou says:
We have discovered people in
region supposed to be uninhabited,
and have lived few mouths am0np
people who had never seen a white
man or an Indian (though they had
heard OF BOTH and did not even
know | was not an Eskimo-so little
informed on what white men are
like. We have discovered Eskimo's
Tin speech and habits) who are
Scandinavians in appearance.
This fud is the beginning OF the
solution of one OF two problems.
Whist became of some OF Frank
lin men?
What became OF the 1900 Scan
dinavians who disappeared from
Greenland in the fifteenth century?
Or; II neither OF these questions
is to be answered, then We have
introduced a new problem of scien-
tific interest:
Why do some OF the people OF
Victoria Land differ markedly from
the rest Of their race?
Why are they so European n
type?
We have discovered the non-sx-
istence OF a stream which the Il APPS

We have found a certain cape

Rae river, of which only the mouth
and lowest ten miles we're seen by
DR.. Rae, and few other things we
have done that are in the nature of
discovery. But, OF course. if We
deserve any credit it will be more
for Our routine work than for any dis
coveries properly so called"
Stefanson left New York on the
present expedition in April, 1908.
His principal purpose was to study
the different tribes of Eskimos in
the north west, and more especial V
an unknown tripe living in Victoria

Lew Water Courses

From all sections of Rockbridge
come reports that the water courses
are extremely low. The scarcity of
rains the past summer is response
BILE for this condition.
The dra wing off of North River to
repair the dam of the Rockbridge
Power Corporation at the power
house has caused that stream to be
very small. and as a matter OF fact
there is very little water flowing
down the channel.
Some CT the smaller streams in
other parts of the county are re-
ported almost dry, and some are en-
tirely dry, while springs are like
wise reduced in quantity of water.
The cutting of timber is claimed
by many to be responsible in q
measure for falling off in the water
courses. Forests protect the soil
and hold moisture, and in this way
preserve the water to be fed when
needed. Bare fields more readily
give up their moisture.

neck. and lay the patient down with
the head slightly lowered. II she
