people of Pendleton placed upon
themselves an important obligation by

water should be provided at the
earliest possible time, and there Is

I the people of PendletOn have so much
at stake as they have in expediting
this project. After visiting the pres

LIVESTOCK INCREASE
ON FOREST RANGES
NINE AND A HALF MILLION Do
AESTIC ANIMALS CRAZE THERE
DURING SUMNER.
according to figures Gathered, the
Amount OF stock Grazed is Over 4
Per Cent Greater Than for the Pre-
xious Year-Total Receipts Gath
aereJ amount TO S1,00T,739.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-(SpeciaD
---A marked increase in the quantity
OF livestock grazed on national forest
ranges during the past fiscal year is
reported by the forest service. Nine
and a half million domestic animals
have been occupied during the sum-
mer in converting one of the by-pro-
ducts OF the forests into meat. hides,
and wool. In addition, there were in
round numbers three hundred thous-
and calves and colts and five million
rAEbs and kids exempt from permit
send therefore not enumerated.
According to the figures gathered.
the amount of stock grazed under per-
INIT during the year is over four per
cent greater than for the previous
year, while the number of permittees
s,sissg the forests for pasturage pur-
poses was increased from 26.501 to
~ ,ss6 The total receipts by the gov-
~xnment from grazing fees for the
twelve months ending June 80. 1913,
-pere sl.g67,739, and the portion of
chis applied TO schools and roads in
the states IN which the national for
ssts are situated is about 1852, 70S.
Grazing is second only to numbering
as a principal use of the national for
<sts. Practically ali of the national
'torests used extensively for grazing
purposes are within the eleven states
e.xtaniing east from the Pacific coast.
KNOWN as the far western group"
These states contain. according to
,ates reports. S,546.000 cattle, 2,S1o..
700 horses and mules. and 1886, 200
sheep. The national forests support
IN these states II per cent of the to-
1af number of cattle graZed, 3.4S per
cent of horses and mules, and 27.5
per cent OF sheep.
II is estimated that the annual pro-
cuct Of these animals is 100000 head
OF beef cattle of various ages and
grades and 100000 head of lambs
and mutton sheep.
Since the average net weight of a
beef animal is SIS pounds, of lamb
IT pounds. and of sheep so pounds,
the stock grazed on national forests
an, the eleven far-western states pro-
,srce annually about 155 million
mounds of beef and 312 million pounds
of mutton In addition, 1t is said the
wool grown totals 55,00o,000 pounds

SANTA FLEES WITH
HER HEART BALM
EXsTeacher's $4,000 Verdict
for Breach of Promise
Is Set Aside.

The decision which Justice Hooker
handed down yesterday in the action Of
Miss Mary l. Mcintyre against Will
lam Hughes, paper box manu-
facturer, Of Brooklyn, will not add to
the plaintiffs enjoyment Of this happy
day. Just two months ago yesterday a
Jury in the Supreme Court gave Miss
Mcintyre a verdict for $4,000 in her
$4,000 action for breach OF promise.
The order sent by Justice Hooker to
the Supreme Court yesterday from his
home upstate was that the verdict be
set aside and a new trial held.
In the brief memorandum which JUS
tice Hooker wrote he said that preju-
dicial error had been committed in ad-
hitting the evidence that Hughes was
suffering from permanent illness.
Miss Mcintyre, who was formerly a
teacher, is forty-four years old. and
Hughes is twenty years older. He is a
widower with married daughters.
Many letters were introduced at the
trial which the manufacturer wrote to
The teacher. In one of these epistles he
said: You are my life, my all. Pray
for me. ! do love your cooking.
II took the jury an hour and half
TO decide that Miss Mcintyre was en-
titled to So, 700. Counsel for Hughes
moved that the verdict be set aside as
excessive, and Justice Hooker heard
argument on that motion That was
at the end Of the October term Of court.
