the resulting melody was far reaching

FOREST MEN MAKE Inspection.

FORREST MEN MAKE INSPECTION
Mr.. A. r. Potter, Associate Forester o
the Forest Service from Washington, d
c., arrived in Custer from Denver June
18th, and left Wednesday morning fol

vestigate grazing conditions on the Black
Hills National Forest. Owing to the ex'

South Dakota has suffered this spring.

side the boundaries of the National For.
est has been very short, but more par.
ticularly 80 outside of the Forest.
A number of stockmen, principally
sheep men from Wyoming, made q
strong appeal to the Department to al.
low their sheep to enter the Forest.
Sheep have never been permitted to
Craze upon the Black Hills National For
est, and it was with a view to dstermins
whether or not this restriction upon
sheep should be removed that Mr.. Pot
ter came to this Forest. On the even:
ing before Mr.. Potter left Custer for the
Limestone number of representative
business men expressed to him their
views in regard to the admittance OF
sheep. There seemed TO be q unani-
nous opinion that, if sheep were ad.
mitted, 1t would seriously interfere with
the settlers who are maintaining their
homes in the Limestone; and also, if
there was any excess range that the pol
icy of the Department should be to care
for the cattle of the settlers who reside
in the Hills, who, at the present time,
have hardly sufficient feed.
We understand that Mr.. Potter and
Mr. lines made an extensive trip through
the Limestone region and inspected the
condition of the range and interviewed
the settlers. Also, that they did not find
any localities where they would be justi-
fed in recommending to the Depart.
ment that sheep be allowed to Craze,
the reason for this being that the set:
tiers strongly feared that, If sheep were
permitted, the range which is needed for
their cattle would be depleted, or that
the watering places, which are very
scarce, would be 80 damaged that the
resident cattle would be interfersd with.
MIR. Potter left Saturday night for Dem
yer, and it is understood that he will
recommend that no sheep be permitted
to Craze on the grounds, that it IL better
to protect the interest of those who live
within the Forest than it would be to
overstock the range with either sheep or
cattle from the outside. No doubt the
settlers of this region will be very much
pleased If Mr.. Potter's recommendations
are sustained by the Department and
their is no reason to believe that they
will not be.

His Exoneration by Presi-

Less a Nonentity.

WASHINGTON. u. c., Sept 2S.-
President Taft's exoneration of DR..
Harvey w. Wiley carried with it to
many minds the impression that
Wiley's authority has been restored.
That is mistake. Wiley remains a
nonentity as far as the enforcement of
the Pure Food Act is concerned. As
this fact becomes more generally
known the popular approval of Presi-
dent Taft's action subsidies. and evil
dence accumulates that the people are
dissatisfied. His exoneration of Wiley
had been discounted. Even If the
President contemplated dismissing
Wiley at the instance of the high Of
ficials who sought his undoing. he
might well have hesitated to do SO in
the face of the universal demand for
his retention in office. But the Presi-
dent stopped with eXoneration and left
Wiley as helpless as the shorn and
bound Samson in the prison at GAIA.
Nothing has been done to date to
change the conditions SO graphically
described before the Moss committee.
The BOARD of Food and Drug Inspec-
ton continues in control of the ad-
of the Pure Food Act. 1t
still consists of Wiley, McCabe and
Dunlap. and it is inconceivable that
their relations will be more harmon
ious because of the failure of the

GARFIELD NOTES

Little time avs lost in organization
this year, all classes have been recit-
ing on schedule. time since Monday
forenoon.
The enrolment for the week was
391. This is smaller than last year
but there are still number who are
to enter.
The use of the playground began al
most as promptly as any other line of
work. Athletic drills have been laid
by nearly hundred pupils and many
of them have been on hands for the
games. Garfield athletics are in
charge of Mr.. Clevenger this year.
The orchestra met last evening to
organize and it was found there were
more applicants for places than in any
previous term. Forty pupils wish to
enroll but some will necessarily be
left out on account there are not en-
ough instruments for all.
Putting the locker rooms in the
basement and transferring the recita-
tons formerly held in the basement
to the other floors has added much to
the appearance of the building and
also to the comfort of the pupils. But
two Rotations a day are now held
in the basement
Physical examinations for the BOYS
were made this week and the regular
work of the gymnasium classes will
begin at once.
