Washingt.A. Feb. 10.-A ne"
government position is disclosed BY
the announcement by the United
States civil service commission OF an
examination which will be held Feb
ruary 23 and "a to find three grazing
examiners for the forest service. The
position will pay salary OF $1,000
Q year at entrance.
The announcement specifies that
the applicants must be men, at least
twenty years old. and possessed OF
at least one seasons experience In
handling range stock, together with
At least one year OF technical train
ing in specified botanical studies.
The establishment of this posi-
ton il in line with the objects which
the department Of agriculture has
always had in view in its manage
ment OF grazing on the national for
ests. It is not merely seeking to
prevent cattle and sheep from do
ing damage to forest growth and
watershed conditions. as they Craze

duced in the open forests. parks, and

therefore Secretary Wilson intends
that every acre of national forest
range shall be made to produce as
much forage as It is capable of doing
consistently, with the carrying out
Of the other purposes for which the
national forests are maintained.
Ever since the forest service took
over the management of the national
forests it has been studying the
range problem along with its regula- !
ton of grazing. In the beginning 1t .
was confronted with the fact that a ,
very large part OF the range had !
been badly abused and depleted ,
through the competition of rival
owners before any restrictions had /
been put upon them, and by over
erowding and bad methods of hand ,
ling stock. Its supporting power
had in consequence been greatly re-
duced. and was steadily declining. |
To enable overgrazed areas to recup- |
crate, and to prevent the extension !
Of overgrazed conditions to new !
areas. the amount of stock to be al |
lowed on the forests was everywhere /
carefully prescribed. The results
we're then observed, and if it appear
ed that there was still over-use OF
the range the numbers permitted
we're cut down still further. On the
other hand. where recuperation has
taken place the allowance of stock
has been correspondingly increased.
The proposal to appoint specialists
who are both thoroughly trained
botanists and men OF practical ex-
perience in range matters indicates
recognition of the fact that to attain

Girl Seeks Protection for Lover


A plot for a moving picture show
Of the wild and woody west was un-
folded yesterday afternoon when
Miss Lydia Boles. the dainty young
post mistress OF Keensburg. rode "a
miles to the sheriff's office to swear
out a warrant against Frank Papas,
Greek, who is in love with her.
and who has threatened to kill Char
les Lewis OF Brighton, whom the
young woman confesses that she
thinks too much OF to allow him to
be done away with.
There was a sitting up and craning
Of necks when the young woman
walked into the sheriff's office with
the request that Papas be put under
bonds to keep the peace. There was
hurried scramble to attend the
fair complainant's wants when she
timidly asked II the sheriff were in.
In the unfolding OF the story pre-
ceeding the warrant 1t appears that
when Miss Boles assumed her duties
at the post office at Keensburg
among the first to fall victim to her
charms was a handsome young
Greek. who lost no time in evidenc-
ing his admiration. He called Tor
his mail every half hour or so. and
stayed the half hour 80 that he
would be in time for the next call.
Although he was not encouraged he
proposed to Miss Boles. who told
him that it was not a case of loving
Caesar less. but Rome more. The
Rome in this particular Instance was
a well known young business man of
Brighton.
But tht Greek would not be salts
fed to dance what the cowboys in
the "virginian" call the Vermont
Turn Down. He still stuck around
and would not make himself scarce.
Finally he announced to expedite his
own cause and to remove any af-
lection Miss Boles might have to-
ward another he would shoot the
preferred one on sight. The little
postmistress did not feel the same
way about having the Brighton man
shot, SO she hastened to Greeley for
warrant charging the Greek with
threats. He probably will be put
under peace bonds.

We do not think much of trees in
the United States, and let several mil.
lion acres OF them burn without get
ting excited, but in England small for
ests, and even individual trees, are
maintained at great expense. II there
is not actually an outlay of money,

wise be profitably employed.
Probably the most noteworthy tree
in the world, SO far as expensiveness
is concerned, is plane tree which
grows in Wood street, in the city OF
London. This tree occupies lot
which would bring in ground-rent to
the amount of $1,000 per annum. It
says much for the nature-loving quail
ties, and, incidentally, for the fortune,
of the owner of that lot that the
ancient tree fiourishes safely year

Primogeniture.

The law of primogeniture sends
back its roots to the most ancient
times. Away back in the patriarchal
ages the first-born son had superb
GRITTY over all his brethren, and in the
absence of his father was in every
important sense the head of the house.
Upon the death Of the father he be-
came, by the unwritter law, which
could not be questioned, the priest
and lord Of the family, ana naturally
to him fell the property as we'll as the
honor3 of the household. Primogeni.
ture, wherever 1t is found today, is
the lingering remnant Of the ancient
custom-a custom which common
sense and justice pronounce to be as
unfair as 1t Is superstitious.
