Writing of the Les Molinos

agent of the Union Pacific Railroad
company, says:
Three men from Oklahoma Wis
tied the ranch few days ago, in
response to information from this

60 acres apiece and reserved body
of land for colony of their
friends. When their friends arriv-
ed, they were SO well pleased with
Los Molinos that they bought the
land reserved for them"
We have secured reservation of

beautiful stream trayersing the
tract, and are forming a syndicate
of Tonopahans to take it over. If
you want to get positively the best
that can be had in land, here is
your opportunity; become party
to this syndicate and then divide
the holding as you may agree upon
later.
We would urge quick action on
your part Come and see us.

EUREKA REJOICES OVER
REBUILDING OF. RAILROAD

Good progress is being made in
rebuilding of the Eureka and Pali-
SADIE railroad, says the Eureka
Sentinel Several miles of track
have been laid, and grading forces
have established two camps. There
will be several bridges, culverts
and a large force of men will be
required to get this work done
without too much delay. During
the week considerable equipment in
the way of mules, wagons and
scrapers have been received here
by the contractors. Two camps for
the grading outfits have been es-
tablshed, one in Palisade and the
other at what is known as the
Stump ranch, about three and a
half miles from here. About so
men are now employed by the
contractors Nearly one and one
half miles of track has been laid,
and the steel gang is now at work
in the J. w. Ebert field, which is
one mile from the mouth of the
canyon, where the roadway was so
badly washed out and where the
first of the eight miles of the
heaviest construction work will
commence.

MANY BEAUTIFUL
PICTURES AT THE
BUTLER THEATRE

Tonight the Butler theater has
two dramas and two comedies.
Terms of the Will" drama by
Pathe, is a story of how a young
mans uncle had left him a vast
fortune in Mexico provided he mar
ried the girl designed by the uncle,
and how fortune favored the young
man and enabled him to comply
with the terms of the will and yet
in time wed the girl of his choice.
THE House Jack Built" Lubin
drama the house was small that
Jack Winters built for himself and
bride. But the story shows the
bride valued grandeur more than
love and threw Jack aside and mar
ried a wealthy sutton. Jack was
completely crushed and went away.
Years after he returned to gain
true love from a sweet-faced pure
girl who sprang Phoenix-like from
the ashes of the untrue. It's
very delicious love story.
THE Reformed Candidate" Edi-
son comedy; "How They Stopped
the Run on the Bank" This is
drama acted by more than 200 NOV
ing picture operators at the recent
Illinois Operators convention. A
big growing lion plays wonderful
and effective part IN this produc-
ton.

IN INTEREST Of
WATER SUPPLY OF
CITIES AND TOWNS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S.-Secre-
tary Wilson has decided that the
interests of cities and towns which
obtain their water from streams
having their watersheds within
matrimonial forests call fer special
measures of protection, and he has
therefore developed a plan of CO.
operation for the department of
agriculture with those communities
which are alive to the Importance
of keeping their water supply pure.
There are many western towns
and cities, some of them of large
size, which derive their water from
drainage basins lying inside the ma
tional forests. One of the recog-
nized objects of forestry is to in
sure the permanence and protect
the purity of municipal water sup
plies. AS the forests are maintain
ed for the benefit of the public,
Secretary Wilson considers it the
duty of his department to do all
that it can both to prevent the
pollution of such supplies and to
create or maintain conditions most
favorable to a constant flow of
clear water
Stock raising and occupany OF
the land for the various kinds of
use which are ordinarily encourag-
ed on the national forests may be
highly undesirable if allowed on
drainage basins which are the
sources of drinking water. There
is also to be considered the injury
which may be done if the water is
silt-laden. BY protecting and i'm
proving the forest cover and by en-
forcing special regulations to min
imize erosion and to provide for
| the maintenance of sanitary condi-
lions, the government will try to
safeguard the interests of the pub
| lie
A form of agreement has been
drawn up, providing that, when CO.
operation is entered into between
the secretary of the agricultur
and any city desiring conservation
and protection of its water supply
the secretary will not permit the
use of the land involved without
approval by the town or city ex'
cept for the protection and care OF
the forests, marking, cutting, ant
disposing of timber which the for
est officers find may be removed
without injury to the water sup
ply of the city, or for the building
of roads, trails, telephone liz
etc, not inconsistent with the OBJ
jects of the agreements, or fol
rights of way acquired under acts
of congress The secretary also
agrees to require all persons EN-
ployed on or occupying any of the
land both to comply with the reg
ulations governing national forests
and to observe all sanitary regu
lations which the city may propose
and the secretary approve.
The agreement provides for thu
extension and improvement of thu
forests on the part of the govern
ment by seeding and planting
the best methods of silviculturt
and forest management, SO far a.
the funds available will permit
The city on its side is expected Il
assist in the work by paying tn
salaries of the additional guard
necessary to carry out the agree
ment, and in case extensive fores
operations are Immediately desiret
by the city, it would bear tn
major part of the cost entailed b,
this work.
