Rangers Exterminate Predatory Beasts

NE OF the duties OF Uncle Sans
~ forest rangers is to kill "varmints"
that destroy cattle, sheep and other
domestic animals. In the western
states, where bears. mountain lions,
wolves, coyotes, wildcats and lynxes
are plentiful. the annual damage from
wild beasts runs into millions. Last
year forest rangers killed 1871 de-
structive animals. The reports, just
out, show that 213 bears, 88 mountain
lions, 172 wolves. SO wolf pups. 6.4S7
coyotes, $40 wildcats and 72 lynxes
fell before the rangers guns.

The biological survey estimates that
one grown wolf will destroy about
$1,000 worth Of stock a year., and
that the average family of wolves
will get at least $4,000 worth. The
stock killed by wolves Is principally

For Beginners.

The young man who starts into the
sheep business right now has some ex-
c%eptional advantages. His investment
is not large, because he can buy a
flock of grade ewes at a very low fig
ure. His mistakes-and he will make
some-are not SO costly as when
sheep are high. His ewes, with rea-
sonably good care, will shear enough
to pay for their keep until they bring
up a marketable crop Of lambs, and
then they will sell for as much as
now and probably more.

Cross Section Of Pit.

Dirt Is thrown on the pile to a depth
of six inches. The roots are piled as
high as possible SO as to shed water.
For early winter feeding the layer
of dirt should be thicker, and in ad-

Washington. D. c., June 26.-The
Minneapolis Steel and Machine compa-
/ ny has filed suit against the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul, Chicago & Great
Western, Southern Pacific. Arizona
Eastern, ella Valley, Globe & North
ern, and a number of other railroads
in the middle west, complaining of the
rate on structural steel from Minneap-
oils, Mimi, to Globe and Miami. Ariz.
PREPARATION for freight over paid in
the sum of S17,27S is also asked
The plaintiffs allege that between
Dec. 10, 1909, and June 2, 1910, it ship
ped 76 cars Of structural steel from
Minneapolis TO Miami Ariz., on which
a rate of s1.705 a hundred was paid.
In all, the sum of s61,477 was paid in
freight. The complaint alleges in the
first place that the rate named is one
half cent more than a combination of
the local rates, but 1T further alleges
that the rate is unreasonable and I'M
just because Of the fact that the rate
of structural steel from Minnea polls to
Phoenix and Tempe, Ariz., is only S1.36,
while to Silver Bell and Tucson, Ariz.,
it is S1.27. AS a further cause for
complaint, 1t is alleged that on Sept
10, 1910, after the entire shipment of
IS carloads had been completed, the
rate on structural steel between Mime
apolis and Miami, Ariz-, was reduced
to SLABS cents a hundred. By COM
parison with rates to other points In
the southwest, the plaintiff alleges
that a fair and just rate from Mime
apo1is to Miami would be s1.235 hum
dred, and that they believe reparation
is due them for the difference between
that rate and s1.TO5, which they paid
amounting to $17,27S.

THE BURNING OF SARDIS.
June 20. b. c. 500.
(By Rev. Thomas B. Gregory
0wENTY-FOUR hunt

lTWENTY-FoUR. hundred and
eleven years ago today the
Greeks burnt Sardis ''and thereby
/ hangs a tale"-one of the most inter-
esting tales in all the world.
From very early times the Greeks
were given to colonizing. and by the
middle OF the fifth century before
Christ Greek settlements were found
all along the coast of Asia Minor. OF
course. the Persian king looked with
jealous eyes upon these settlements.
and, having the power, he used it for
their expression. Aristagoras. the lead
ing Greek In Asiatic Ionia, appealed to
his countrymen across the blue Aegean
for assistance and Athens. with the
generosity for which she was ever
noted, agreed to lend the helping hand
Without delay the Athenians sent to
the aid OF the revolted IOnisns a fleet
of 20 ships-ships which are styled by
Herodotus the beginning of the mis-
chiefs between Greeks and barbarians.
Sailing across the Aegean. the fleet
landed at the seaport near Ephesus
and under Ephesian guides the little
army marched some so miles into the
interior to the city Of Sardis. one Of
the most important places in Asia Mi
HOf, the seat of a royal palace and the
administrative center OF the province
1t is not certain whether the city
was deliberately set on fire by the
Greeks or caught by accident. but at
any rate it was burnt and left a mass
OF charred and smoky embers.
We may well believe the story OF
the kings rage. Darius firmly believed
that Persia was the only country that
was worth talking about, and that he,
as Persia's lord, was king of kings and
by all odds the most Industrious per-
