ELECTINC A PRESIDENT
Peculiar Situation. Possibility Of
No Choice This Year.

Three leading candidates for presl
dent in the neld In this campaign are
giving rise to some interesting specu-
latlou owing to the verysstrong likeli-
hood Of The election resulting in no
choice at all. A n,siurlty.4s requir ed
in the electoral college and II the
electoral vote is so divided as not to
give Roosevelt, Wilson or Taft y
majority II Is possible that none OF
these three men will he the next
president aud that hnonr may 70 to
one of the vtrc-pr.s 'dentiai candi-
dates.
The Toledo Blade explains the
modus operandi MS follo~s:
II the electoral college failed Ia
deciding upon President on account
Of no one candidate having a majority
OF The votes cast, the decision would
fall upon the house df representatives..
The three Presidential candidans
having the highest nuMhcr of votes

n the house fails IN choosing the
President before the fourth day Of
March next following. the Vice Presi-
dent shall act as President. The
choice OF Vice President isl up to the
senate II no choice is obtained 10 the
electoral college. The Two candi-
dates for Vice President having the
highest number OF votes are voted
upon by the senate instead OF the
three highest. The quorum must
consist OF two.thirds OF the whole
number Of senators, and a majority of
the whole number shall he necessary

In the remote contingency that the
senate should fall to decide ON the

Of state would become president and

To Study Forest Problems.

To Study Forest Problems.
Secretary Wilson Of the United
States department of agriculture
has decided to establish an expert
ment station on the Manti national
forest near Ephraim, Utah, for the
study Of grazing and water protec-
ton problems. In fact bids for
the construction of the necessary
buildings have been received and
it is expected to have the station
in working order before winter.
Already the gathering of observa-
tons on the relations of erosion
and run off to the forest cover have
begun.
The Manti national forest was
chosen as the site for this expert
ment station because it offers
exceptionally good opportunities
for investigating problems of prac-
tical value in connection with
regulated grazing. Ephraim and
other towns in its neighborhood
have suffered severely from floods
following violent transforms in the
mountains, and it has already been
proved conclusively that the over
grazed condition of areas on which
the natural vegetative cover has
been seriously altered is response
Bile for the formation of torrents
and the rapid discharge Of debris
laden hoodwaters. In a recent
destructive storm the water ran
clear from part OF the watershed
which was within the national
forest, and in good condition as
a result Of we'll regulated grazing
while from other areas it swep'
down sand and boulders. One o
the objects of the study will be te
learn how the maximum of grazing
| use of natural forest land can b.
| obtained without injury to fores
reproduction and stream flow.
The national forests provld
range during a part or all OF tn
wear for a considerable part OF tn
stock produced in the wester
states. Approximately one an
one-half million head of cattle an
horses and seven and one-ha
million head of sheep and goat
occupy the forest lands each veal
These figures do not include nearl
| three hundred thousand calve
and over four million lambs an
| kids for which permits are not IT
quired.
The experts Of the departmer
believe that when the range
which were denuded by mar
years of improper use are restore
to normal condition OF produ
t;vity it will be possible to provo
feed for a much larger number
stock without injury to tore
growths or watersheds, and bo
the stockgrower and the eonsum
Of meat products will thus be ben
6ted. Consequently every etc
is being made to determine pra
t;cable means of regenerating q
, pleted ranges. All of the studi
which are about to be init'at
! have this point in view.
