UNIQUE ANIMAL
 FOUND IN CRETE

Athens, August 19.-(Special)- curious animal Is reported from Canea, Crete, by a correspondent who says that a person of his acquaintance some months ago lost his cat, female. While walking in the country the other day he came across a hare, accom- panied by his cat who was carrying in her mouth a charming little kitten leveret. which she laid at his feet and which he took home with him.
 The animal had the head and paws of a cat, but all the rest of the body is hare, not only in form but in the quail ty and color of the fur. The mixture of the father and mother in its walk and leaps is most remarkable. The animal also possesses a character of it's own. In it's capacity of hare it prefers the garden to indoor life, but its cat nature brings it regularly to the dining room al meal time when it expresses by a soft purring its pleasure at being fed and caressed.

tary Wilson has carefully con sidered all notifications proposed with a view to improving the sys- tenn of grazing administration. As a result of his conferences with the representatives of the stockmen's associations, number of changes were made in the details concern ing the conditions under which owners may surrender, transfer, or renew application for grazing privileges. Both the Department and the stockmen are anxious to prevent speculation in grazing privileges, and suggestion for minor notifications of the rules, offered by the stockmen to this end, were readily accepted.
 It is the expressed belief of Secretary Wilson that the new regulations mark a step forward in the administration of the National Forests by the Government, with the hearty cooperation of the stock men, under effective methods which have in view both the largest possible measure of service to the public from the Forests and the fullest promotion of the welfare oi the stock industry itself, consistent with this service.

New National Forest Range Regula- tious Approved by Secretary Wilson.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The Secretary of Agriculture has ap- proved revised form of the graz ing regulations which govern use of the National Forest ranges. In the opinion of the Department officers, the most important de. partures from the old regulation is a permanent National advisory board representing the sheep and cattle interests, which will confer annually with the Secretary of Agriculture concerning grazing mat ters; and secondly, in the laying down of a rule that on Forests where the quality of range and ad- vantages for raising cattle and sheep are equal, the yearlong rate for sheep after the season of 1911 will be thirty per cent of the year long rate for cattle.
 The new regulations have been made the subject of extended and most careful consideration and are promulgated at the present time as the result of general revision made of all the regulations govern ing the use of the National Forests. Before deciding on the grazing regulations, Secretary Wilson in- vited representatives of the two great National organizations of stockmen, the National Wool Grow ers' Association and the American National Live Stock Association, to present their views to him on grazing matters, and to make any suggestions which they might wish to offer concerning the proposed regulations.
 The proposed regulations, as they had been drafted by the For est Service, were submitted to dele gates of the two associations who came to Washington in response to Secretary Wilson's invitation. This action on the part of Secretary Wilson is declared to be in accor- dance with the established policy of the Forest Service in seeking cooperation with organized bodies of st0ckmen who make use of the National Forest range. Secretary Wilson recognizes that the one and one-half million cattle and seven and one.half million sheep which are annually grazed on the Forests bear an important relation to the price of beef and mutton in this country, and that the public need of increased food supplies no less than the best interests of the stock industry call for careful methods of regulation to promote the ful use of the grazing resource. lr his view, cooperation with the ad visorv boards of local livestock associations has contributed ma terialIy to the adjustment of range problems in way satisfactory both to the livestock men and tC his Department.
 Regulated grazing on the Ma tional Forests seeks not only tC make available, to the fullest de gree consistent with proper protec tion of the range itself and of for est growth and strea amhow condi tions, the annual forage crop, bu also to allot the grazing privileg equitably. By giving the stock men themselves a chance to b heard with regard to the rule established, and by securing thei help in the adjustment of dispute

SHERIDAN WANTS CHANGE
School Levy Said to Be Too low and
Trouble Ensues.

SHERIDAN, Or, June 3O.-The
curtailment of school expenses for the
year by the voters Of the Sheridan
School District at the annual meeting,
to such an extent as to practically
close the school, has aroused such =
general unfavorable comment that the
school board and patrons deem II
wise to take steps to repair the
threatened injury to the school system
At the annual meeting of the school
district it was voted to levy 7-mill
tax, which tax would be insufficient to
run the schools for a period of more
than six months; there was clause
in the motion that carried the placing
of the levy which provided that the
school year close when the district
levy is exhausted and that no bonded
Indebtedness shall occur, and this
would mean that the school district
would not get the county school fund.
the term of school being too short to
meet the requirements to get this ap-
portionment.
In other words, the 7-mill levy vot-
ed by the school patrons at the annual
meeting means a shortening of the
school year, and the result OF rne
election is causing such adverse dis
cussion that another meeting has been
called for at which time the citizens
of the@town intend to correct the blind
made at the regular annual
school meeting. The meeting is called
for Monday. July 10

GINSENG CULTURE Ar EUGENE.


EUGENE, Or. July 5.-Bottom soil
of the Mckenzie Valley is pronounced
exceptionally favorable for ginseng
culture. which has been successfully
grown here and is now past the first
experimental stage. O. p. and G. w.
Neff have the second ginseng garden
in the southern part of the state. The
first one, which is turning off plants,
is near Medford.
The Neff brothers have 10000
plants in the enclosure. These were
grown from seeds. the plants having
attained growth Of several inches
since last March. They have also sue
cessfully transplanted great many
six-year-old plants. which are begin-
ming to bear seed, some OF. these hav-
ing been shipped BY express from the
East.
The enclosure is about 90 by so
feet and over the frame work are
three-inch stats, laid about one inch
apart The beds are well mulched
with leaves. They were prepared
from virgin soil and leaf mold mixed
with sandy loan. Another smaller
enclosure has about 10000 plants.
When the plants are one year old they
are estimated to be worth rs cents
each.
The ginseng 10 maintaining
healthy growth under this heavily
shaded pen and the owners are con-
fdent of making a success of the ven-
ture. They have had no previous ex-
perience. G. w. Neff says that some
Oregon ginseng root from other
points in the state marketed recently
for $3.50 per pound, and the best of it
is in demand at from $40 to $12. ac-
cording to age and size.
Mr.. Neff is Pennsylvania by.birth
and came to the Pacific Coast about
10 years ago. Before coming to Eu-
gene he resided near Portland. He
says that ginseng formerly grew wild,
and in profusion, in Pennsylvania, and
when gathered and taken to drug
stores sold for SO cents per pound.
While ginseng culture is slow pro-
cess 1t quickly runs into big profits
when the seed bearing stage Is reach
ed. There is good demand at all
times for plants for transplanting and
for seeds.
