THE FOREST LANDS SATISFACTORILY
 ADJUSTED
Settlement of the Question of Admins tration Between the State and the Government; tSate Revenues
 From Forests.

What avs reported as clash v between the land commission and the officials of the forestry service con- corning school lands in forest reserv- eS has been very nicely adjusted to the satisfaction of all concerned. In jus tice to both the commission and the service it is stated there was never any clash" between them. It was merely an effort to iharmonize the friction that existed between forestry regulations and the enabling act on one side and state laws on the other in order to get them in practical work ing order. It was accomplished by carefully studying the facts and by the forestry service making a slight modi- 6cation in the regulations of the ser vice generally. in favor of Arizona, to meet the local conditions.
 Under the territorial government the territory was given two sections in each township in the forest reserves sections 16 and 36. The enabling act also granted two more sections in each township, 2 and 32, but the act also provided that the school lands in for est reserves are to be aoministrated by the forestry service" which shall turn over to the state it's portion of the revenues derived from such school lands
 >'O" u haPPOho Iiidt IhO SOALOA 1A regulations of the forestry service among other things greatly restricts the practice of fencing lands used for grazing. When the old sections of school land 16 and 36, formerly leas- ed by county boards of supervisors, came under the forestry service for administration, the officials naturally made their regulations effective and ordered all fences removed. Clearly that was a hardship and loss to those settlers who had previously leased the lands, improved them and thrown fem ces around their water holes, etc. These settlers protested to the land commission and in. support of their pro test secured legal opinion to the effect that they could noI@be disturbed in ,fhe rights they had acquiredffrom the territory under which they built their fences and that the state could con tinue to administer such lands. .;..s..s : The forestry officials have .nuv modified their order to the effect that those who have leased areas un- der fence may retain the fences and any other Improvements, thus remov7 ing the embarra ssfnent that confront ed them The lands are still under administration and any new fences or improvements desired will be sub ject to the forestry regulations.

AID FOR. GOOD ROADS |S
 NOW ASSURED
Quarter of Million Dollars To Be Appropriated as aStarter to be Expended Under Government
 Supervision.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12- The Overman amendment appropria- ting immediately the sum of $250,- 900 as a government aid to good roads building in each state was defeated in the United States senate today, though the defeat was not meant to express disapproval of the project, which will be brought up again.
 The senate proposes to have an in vestigation by the government of all state road projects before making the money available for use. This is to determine whether or not, in the opin- ion of the national investigators, the money is to be wisely expended and not merely a pork barrel' account. . The Overman amendment contains one clause which will doubtless be in- corporated in the bill as it finally passes the senate. That is, the gov ernment's appropriation will be used in each state in connection with state appropriation for highway pur- poses.
 The intent of the measure which the senate contemplates passing, is to form a network of splendid high ways throughout all the states of the union.

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Blows Man From Bright Angel Trail to Rocks BeIoW-SkuII is
 Crushed.

FLAGSTAFF, August 19.-Charles Bell met a fearful and spectacular death on the Bright Angel trail.
 The accident occurred Thursday about noon down the Bright Angel trail at a point called Cape Horn, wher a tunnel was being blasted through rock to make the trail safer. Just before noon five blasts were set off, four of them exploding but the fuse on the fifth was faulty.
 After waiting about 15 minutes Bell remarked to John Ryan that he would go up and get dinner ready and both would come back later to attend to the blast. They started up the trail, Bell in the lead.
 Just as he was over the blast it exploded, throwing Bell into the air several feet, pitching him over cliff onto the rocks sabout 80 feet below. He lived about an hour and a half after the accident. His legs were broken and his skull crushed as result of the fall on the rocks.
