FOREST FIRE PROTECTION.
The Federal Government Has Co-operat-
ed With Six States.

During the last quarter of the fiscal
year, the federal government entered
into cooperative fire protection agree
ments with the following states: Maine,
New York, Minnesota, Montana, Wash
ington and Oregon. These six agree
ments contemplate the protection from
fire of approximately s700000o acres Of
land on the forested watersheds of navl-
gable streams, for which purpose $5l 500
of federal funds have been made avail
able There are at the present time IL
states which are engaged in active CO.
operation Of this kind. aid it is pos
sible that three new states, Kentucky,
South Dakota and West Virginia will
be added by early fall.
The federal government, though il has
allotted total of $50 900 for the work
of the present season. is minor contrib
utor in the aggregate. Under the inf-
petus given to fire protection of navI-
gable watersheds through this arrange
ment the cooperating states will expend
an aggregate of So for every dollar which
the federal government spends, to which
may be added about 81 more from pri-
vate sources.
These amounts, of course, do not rep

WARNS SLIT SKIRT wEARERs.
Judge Lectures Girls Whose Red Petit
coats and Filmy Hosiery Show.

Slit skirts with a dash of red or green
petticoat showing-and in some instances
only transparent silk stocking may
be the stylish thing for girls, but not
for wards of the Kansas City juvenile
court just listen to what Judge John
T. Sims told two of his wards who
appeared to report clad in the tight
fitting skirt with the red Insertion:
"You know what ! ought to do to you
girls for wearing such clothing as that
the Judge asked them. And receiving no
reply, he answered the question him
self.
81 ought to take you across my knee
and spank you until my hands are bis
tered,' he said, "and let me tell you
right now that if your fathers do not
do it and l see you dressed like that
again l win do it myself. Girls who
dress like that do it because of their
associations and to attract the eyes of
men. If you cannot attract man with
out splitting your dress, then leave the
men alone. You will find that the class
of men who are caught by fiashy
dresses and powdered faces are not che
men that make good husbands, and
take it that it is che one aim of mos,
women to secure good husband"
The Judge told them some other things
enough to impress upon them the ne
cessity of wearing modest clothing ana
their natural complexion, and after eX-
acting a promise to conform to his ad-
vice, allowed them to go home.-Kansas

Wan government has declined to CO.

NEW DEPOSITS
OF IRON ORE
Magnetic Beds Found by the Geolog-
cal Survey in Biackfeet In
dian Reservation.

diah NcScANatiuAs
While making geologic examination
of the Blackfeet Indian reservation in
northwestern Montana in 1912, Eugene
Stebinger, of the United States geologi-
cal survey, found number of magnetic
beds carrying q notable percentage of
iron. The beds occur in a prominent
sandstone formation which can be
traced for many miles, entirely across
the reservation. Although they are of
considerable economic interest, especial
" because of the opening of the reserva-
ton to settlement in the near future,
as provided by Congress, there are APP
parentiy no published descriptions or
even mention of them extant. They have
not been prospected because of regula-
tions restricting such operations ON the
reservation.
The magnetic beds are widely dis
tributed over the west half of the reser-
walton, the principal beds being found
on the south fork of Milk river. The
largest towns in the region are Cut
Bank, a small agricultural center and
railroad point situated on the east edge
of the arena, and Browning, at present
the Indian agency for the reservation.
The thickest beds found on the reser-
walton occur at the mouth of Kennedy
Coulee, near the Croft ranch. According

per cent. of iron and S.3 per cent. of
titanium oxide. In the same township,
on the opposite side of Milk river. the
magnetic bearing sandstone is well ex-
posed in steep cliffs averaging about 100
feet in height. The cliffs are capped by
iron stained sandstones from 10 to 20
feet in total thickness. The greater part
of these sandstones cannot be classed as
high-grade rock, although few thin
beds, in no place reaching an aggregate
thickness OF more than four feet are
rich in magnetic. A sample from this
locality showed on analysis 1872 per cent.
of iron and 100 per cent. of titanium
oxide. Samples taken from other depos
its in the vicinity indicate that con-
siderable tonnage of ore which would
average about so per cent. OF iron, could
be hand-sortcd from these deposits, al
though the average of the material
available would probably not run more
than 30 to 40 per cent. The proportion
of titanium oxide in the ores is consid
cradle, averaging over II per cent. in
one sample. This high titanium content
renders these ores unfit for use, accord
ing to present metallurgieal practice, al
though it is believed that ores of this
type may eventually be successfully
smelted.

Washington, Aug 27.-Senate tariff
debate continued yesterday with Re
publican onslaught in the Democratic
bill, led by Senators Bradley and Sher-
man. Mr.. Bradley declared Democratic
pledges of lower cost of living through
tariff revision was futile. One reason
for the high cost of living, he declared,
was that housewives ordered supplies
by telephone and had them delivered by
automobile" He cited the decrease of
farming population as another. Mr..
Sherman assailed the bill on the ground
that it would not produce enough reve-
nue. to run the government and declared
the Democrats were not fulfilling prom

proposed tax on cotton futures as license

COAL TRAFFIC OF SAN FRANCISCO.
Nearly Three-Fourths of Million Tons
Consumed in 1912.

In San Francisco, as in other cities
of the Pacific coast, the use of petro-
leum for generating steam by railroads
and manufacturers has largely supplant-
ed that of coal, which is at
present confined almost entirely to
the consumption for domestic purposes.
The total quantity of coal consumed in
San Francisco and the neighboring cities
on the eastern shore of San Francisco
bay in 1912, according to +. w. Parker,
of the United States geological survey,
was apparently considerably less than
100000 short tons. The three railroads
entering California, the Southern Pacific,
the Western Pacific and the Atchison,
Topeka 4 Sante Fe, carried into the
state in 1912 a total of 268,494 short
tons, chiefly from New Mexico, Utah and
Wyoming. Of that quantity, 45,ls4 tons
went to San Francisco and 223,3l0 tons
to other points in the state. The re-
ceipts by water at San Francisco
amounted to 5O4,200 short tons, Of when
1854 short tons came from eastern
states, for use chiefly for the naval yes
sells of the United States in Pacific WA
tiers. The receipts by water in 1917
were 1EDsuit 'eHoIJ Oo1is less IMAM 1u
1911, and this decrease was nearly al
together in the receipts from Australia
and bore out the prediction, made IN
the surveys report for 1911 that the
quantity of coal shipped from that
country in 1912 would not exceed 100000
tons. Receipts of coal from Australia
depend principally on the exports of
wheat from California, the vessels car
rying the wheat bringing the return car
goes of coal for ballast. Receipts Of
British Columbia coal decreased from
232 ,067 short tons in 1911 to 202 .S75
tons in 1912, and those from Washing
ton. fell off from GAIA short tons 10
3d. sos tons. These decreases were off
set by an increase of nearly $1,000 short
tons in the coal from eastern states.
1t is estimated that the total an
nual consumption of oil for fuel, in
Guiding that used in the manufacture of
gas, in California, is between 10000 900
and 55,00O,O00 barrels. equivalent to APP
proximately 100000 tons of coal, or
about twice as much as the coal con
sumed within the state. The total con-
sumption of coal in 1912. estimated from
the rail and water receipts, was about
100000 short tons.

A TRIPLE
ALLIANCE
This Was the Wish of
Great Britain in
East
ANGLO-GERMAN-
JAPANESE PACT
Germany, However, Was
Barred Out by
Japan

London, Aug. 27.--Reyelation that
the diplomatic negotiations which final
ly resulted in the Anglo-G erman.Japa
ese triple alliance and that Germany
was largely instrumental in starting
them but was shut out by Japan, is
made in the diary of the late Count Ia
dasu Hayashi, former Japanese ambas-
sador to Great Britain ,and twice for
eign minister, part of which was recent
Iy published. The Jill Shimro of Toxic
printed portions of the diary but the
Japanese government prohibited further
publication and the censor suppressed
kilograms sent by foreign correspond
ents in Japan reporting details.
The diary showed that the British
government under the premiership of the
late Marquis of Salisbury was in favor
of the inclusion of Germany, but that
Japan opposed it. Count Hayashi, in
order to bring about the Anglo-Japanese
alliance, limited that Japan was ready to
ally herself with Russia if Great Britain
was unwilling. Japan suggested that a
third party should be omitted from the
alliance because Anglo-Japanese inter
ests were identical. Great Britain, how
ever, for some time chung to the idea OF
triple alliance, according to Count
Hayashi, as she was anxious for an al
lance with Germany in order to isolate
the Franco. Russian alliance in any ac-
ton it might take in the far east or
elsewhere. The continuation of the
diary which might have shown why
Count Hayashi opposed the inclusion of
Germany has not been published.
