of the Secretary of Agriculture.

OF the Secretary of Agriculture.
For several years in some sec.
tions OF the country a sort of in.
formal understanding has existed
between National Forest rangers
and mail carriers with the idea
of securing increased fire protec-
ton. The marked effectiveness
OF this cooperation was a strong
argument in favor of its extention
and official sanction, and was in
part responsible for the request of
the Secretary of Agriculture which
resulted in the order by the Post
Office Department.
The plan is for the carriers to
report a FIRE to the nearest forest
officer on his route, or, if no officer
lives on the route, to have him
notified by some responsible, citi-
zen. State and national foresters
are supplied with post road maps
and with postal guides containg
the addresses of the different post
masters. The postmasters in turn
ere supplied by the foresters with
the names, addresses, and teie-
phone call numbers of forest Off
GERS residing on or near the car
riers' routes.

Charles 7. Bourk, believed to be
oldest resident of Carbon county,
died at his home at Elk Mountain
at A p. N. Thursday, May 20. He
had been i'll since February this
year, off and on. But being a
strong man of great vitality be
fought the feebleness of old age tn
the last. On Wednesday evening
he told those around his bedside
he was going to die, aud from then
on lspsed into semi-consciousness
and passed away, apparently in
sleep. Mr.. Bourk was born in Ire

a radious of 100 miles to his fun

New York, April 21.-The second at
tempt in the last three years to de-
stroy the Pocasset Club, Tammany
ORGANIZATION, occurred early Today,
when a bomb, exploding in the base
ment. wrecked the basement and first
floor, threw club members on the
fourth floor of the building off their
feet, and shattered the glass in all the
building within a few minutes after
hundred feet.
Every window in the three upper
stories of the Central HOAel was
smashed. The glass memorial windows
of the Grace Emmanue Protestant
Episcopal Church were ruined.
Detectives and police rushed to the
building within few moments after
the explosion, but found no clue TX
the bomb thrower. The bomb was
fine "machine type and set off BY
either fuse or clock.
The previous attempt to destroy thu
same clubhouse was also by means oi
a bomb, but the mechanism then failed
to work. Former Sheriff Nichola:
Hayes is the Tanamany leader in the
district and makes The PocaSset Club
his headquarters. officials Of the clut
refused go give opinions at to pos
sible motive for the deed, though tht
police say they attribute it to a polit'
ical feud.

Cattle Growers VIII Unite in Fight on
Tariff.

The party of cattlemen. from
southwestern Virginia called at
the White House a few days
,sgo, after having arranged an
appointment in an effort to have
President Wilson use his influence to
change the wool, fresh beef and live
stock schedules of the Underwood
tariff bill so as to have the duties on
these articles lowered gradually ny
six-month periods to enable them 10
accommodate their business to the
changed conditions without suffering
financial injury.
President Wilson explained to the
party that the appointment had been
arranged in such haste that he would
not be able to grant the committee
a hearing as to their wishes in the
matter, owing to the fact that other
appointments made previously wou!a
occupy his time. He greeted the
party most cordially, but did not dis
Icuss the tariff situation with them.
The committee calledupon several
other members of the Virginia dele
cation, and as many members OF the
ways and means committee as posi-
Bile. During Ghe afternoon it was ar
ranged that they should return home
and draw up papers showing the eff
