FOR FOURTH
BURNS UP ON THIRD

Baker, Ore, July 5.-Carl Adler's
old hen house, which was to have rep
resented the old Baker court house
in the re-enactment of the famous fire
as a part of the Fourth of July pro-
gram, when 1t was scheduled to go up
in a blaze of glory to dignified end,
with the members of the Baker fire
department valiantly fighting the
flames, went up in blaze Of glory.
all right, but little sooner than an
ticipated, for a little after 10 o'clock
Wednesday evening 1t flared up for
few brief moments, until the fire
department was on the job and put
1t out little ahead or time.
The building, whicn was donated
by Mr.. Adler to the Fourth of July
committee, had been moved to the
corner of Main and Church streets,
and the Baker fire fighters had made
several practice runs to the place, so
that good fast exhibition could be
given on the Fourth.
The premature burning of the hen
house-court house recalls the firing
OF the Columbian cannon last Hal
lowe'en when all the nearby windows
suffered. The incidents show one
thing and that is that Baker has

225 Entrymen Applied for 40 Irrigat'
ed Farms I'm Yakima District.

Washington. July 5.-That the
"back to the land movement" Is not
a myth was conclusively shown at
the opening on May 25 of approx
mately 40 small irrigated farm units
in the Yakima, Washington, irriga-
ton project. Notwithstanding the
very small number of farms avail
able and the exacting restrictions i'm
posed by the government as to resi-
dence and cultivation, and the cash
deposit OF about $500 required with
each application. 225 entrymen ap-
piled for the land. Their aggregate
deposits in the land office amounted
to 100000.
The water-right charge for these
lands is the highest ever assessed by
the government, being s93 per acre,
payable in installments covering 10
years, without interest. In addition,
the settler must pay an annual as
sessment of $1.5O per acre for the
maintenance and operation of the
canal system.

PRESIDENT CHANGES
FOREST BOUNDARIES

Washington, July president
Taft has just made considerable
changes in national forests in Mon
tana, Arizona, Nevada, Utah and Cali
fornia through president procla-
nations modifying the boundary lines.
BY these changes nearly 275,0OO acres
of land are eliminated from the for
ests. about $1,000 acres are added,
and about $1,000 acres are transferr-
ed between two forests, while new
forest is created by the division of an
old unit into two.
The net result is to bring down the
total gross area of the national for
ests oabout 1S7,40O,OO0 acres, of
which nearly 27,0OO,00O acres are in
Alaska. To a considerable extent,
however, the reductions, so far as
land actually owned by the govern
ment is concerned, are apparent rath-
er than real, owing to heavy aliena-
tions in the tract eliminated. Some
22. .0OO, 900 acres of the national for
est gross area are not owned by the
government.
The high water mark of the ma
tional forest gross area was reached
in 1909, when the forest boundaries
included over 94,O00,000 acres. 1t
was then realized, however, that in
making the examinations on which
the presidential proclamations Great
ing the forests were based the work
had been too rapid to insure in all
cases the best boundaries. Some
times land which should have been
included was left out, while at other
times land was taken in which was
not best suited to forest purposes.
4.OOO,OOO Acres Added.
Consequently a complete overhaul
ing and rectification of the forest
boudaries was planned, and has been
going on ever since. BY successive
proclamations President Taft has ell
minated nearly 100000 acres,
while he has added about 100000
acres.
In Montana the new proclamation
eliminates a total of 116,37O acres
from six forests-the Custer, Absor-
Okla. Blackfeet, Kootenai, Lewis and
Flark. and Flathead-while l4,64O
acres are transferred from the Black
feet to the Kootenai and 4O,64O from
the Kootenai to the Blackfeet, to ia
cilitate administration. In Arizona
1O6.54O acres are eliminated from the
Colorado national forest. In Arizona
1880 acres are eliminated from the
Humbolt and $3.50 acres added, oil
which ~. 500 acres are included in the
new Ruby national forest, composed
principally of that part of the old
Humbolt lying south of the Southern
Pacific railroad. In Utah 1.34O
acres are eliminated from the SEWER
while in California $3.50 acres are
added to the Shasta and 4S0 acres to
the Klamath.

would Check American Emigration.

Seattle, Wash.-Following up a
movement started sometime ago, the
governors of Wa shington, Oregon,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Montana and Idaho, have plann-
ed a conference here on how to check
the flow of American emigration to
Canada. The governors represented
are anxious to reach some plan and
suggest legislation which will assist
the northwest states in more rapid
development. and stem the tide of
emigration from this country to Ca
NADIA. They have been in consulta-
tion over the matter before and de-
clare that the plans for the develop
ment of an American northwest will
miscarry unless something is done to
attract the Americans from leaving
their own country.

Santa Claus Dance.

A Santa Claus dance Is one OF the
most delightful of all Christmas frol-
les and really one of the easiest to
plan, for only one scheme of decoration
has to be thought of, only one idea
kept in mind-Santa Claus, Santa
Claus everywhere-an 1t is one that
appeals to the youngest az well as the
oldest dancers.
To begin with. write the invitations
on paper or cards which bear the good
saints image Such paper or cards
can be found everywhere, Postal cards
at least, bearing Santa Claus portrait
will be available, and these can bear
the invitation and then be inclosed In
an envelope or else small gummed
Eantas can be bought and pasted to
the invitation note paper, These gum
med Santas may also be used rs seals
on the envelope. The invitation may
wen be worded in Santa's name. for
instance:
''Santa Claus requests the pleasure
OF your company on the evening Of
----, Dee. -, at the home of Mrs. John
Jones. where he is going to spend the
evening"
The house decorations should. OF
course, include plenty of holly and
Christmas green's, but If possible small
Santas should play conspicuous part
In the scheme. Paper or china or
cloth. whatever they are, they should
perch over the doors or windows, cling
TO holly wreaths and hide themselves
In the green's.

South Bethlehem. Pa, December 8 i.
1t took n pull of 3G4 tons to break
the largest hosting cable in the world,
when sections were tested to- day and
yesterday in the 800, 900 pound testing
machine of Fritz engineering labora-
tory at Lehigh University. The tests
were conducted by Lehigh's civil en-.
gineering department in the presence
of representatives of John A Roeb-
ling's Sons CO., the manufacturers of
the cable, snd of tho Spanish Ameri-
can Iron Co.. which has been using
the steel rope TO the Pennsylvania
Steel Co. S Mayari mines in Cuba.
Special precautions were taken to
prevent the operators of the testing
machine from being struck by the
shower of flying steel when the cable
was torn asunder. Three tests were
made, oil highly satisfactory. A por-
ton of the cable that had been in use
for year and half withstood q pull
of nearly 800 tons.
The construction of this cable was
without precedent in rope making. 1t
consists of six strands, each of nine
teen wires, twisted around an indie.
pendent wire rope center, this center
having six strands of nineteen wires
each, twisted around hemp core.
The finished cable was 1910 feet long
and weighed 1913, 500 pounds.
At the mines in Cuba, cars with a
capacity of 100, 900 pounds of ore are
lowered 10y means of this cable down
an incline plane Q, 800 feet long. Re
Gently it was decided to ascertain the
great rope after its year and a half OF
service, as compared with the strength
of portions not worn, and these pieces
from the main cable, each about 90
feet in length, were shipped to the
Roebling works at Trenton. There
special yokes were placed ON the ends
to make possible the tests in the giant
Richie machine Mt Lehigh University.

Whom One May Be Unconventional.
Etiquette Is not a synonym for con-

not entirely versed In the minute de
tails of such things, yet who Is far
more worthy of commentator in
general sense than hosts of others who
are up" In such matters. The use
of the wrong fork or spoon; the careful
shirt front by the man who has lived
the free life of wild country, for ex-
ample, should never be looked upon
with scorn by the delicately reared.
Every one knows the story of the
admirable poise of hostess who, not
ing the modification of clumsy guest
who had broken one of a priceless set
of teacups by letting It fall In his EN-

quietly broke another on the edge of

1t is not very likely that such tests

Don't Gauge Air In Tire
With Eye or Finger

Don't depend on touch or sight to size
up the imitation of your tire. Always
use a gauge. This is the advice Of a
tire man, who has word or two to
say on such matters for the benefit Of
the average driver Of motor cars.
"Air pressure in tires Is deceptive
says this expert. There is always a
tendency to underestimate II the aver
nge man depends on either his eye or
his fingers. Try II out and you will find
that time and again when the tire looks
as II II had sixty-five or seventy pounds,
or feels that way when tested with the
fingers, 1t shows only forty-five or Atty
pounds when tested with the gauge.
Kicking the tire with the foot will give
a better idea of the pressure than try
ing 1t out with the fingers.
"As even the novice knows, proper
pressure Of air in the tire is all, i'm
portant, for the life of the tire depends
on this more than on anything else. 1t
Is what the men lay the most stress
on. The tire should always be inflated
to it's normal hardness IL 1t Is to give
its best service and the average pres
sure Is. about seventy pounds. The air
to the size of the tire, and 1t Is easy to
find out what the normal number OF
pounds should be by inquiring of the
tire men or others who know. Having
secured this Information, equip yourself
with a gauge and depend on this little
instrument entirely to Keep your tires
up to the right hardness"
