Grazing Permits.

Another indication Of the extern
sive use to which national forest land
Is being put by the residents Is
shown by the following statistical
data: During the fiscal year 1913,
1886 grazing permits were issued IN
New Mexico, covering lOf,lIO head
OF cattle and horses and 41O.546
head of sheep and goats. 52,b39,OoD
feet r. M. of timber was sold In New
Mexico, valued at $l32,65S.00 Fonr
thousand three hundred and ninety
permits were issued for the free use
/ of timber. which totaled 14,61l, 900
| feet p. NJ, valued at S2l,067 These
! figures indicate IN some degree the
| large number of people who use the
national forests. All of this. too, must
indicate that large amount OF ROAD
building in these mountain regions
must soon be undertaken, for the
stockmen are realizing more ana
more the real business value Of good
roads and men in almost every walk
in life exhibit interest in roads. For
ltunately as national forest business
increases, the road and trail funds
will automatically and proportion
lately increase, and probably aid can
he given in the future where IT seems
to be impossible to give assistance
now Roads and trails IN the national
forests are being posted with SUIT
able signs so that even those VINO
are not familiar with mountain ira
vel can find their way about without
difficulty Cloth and wood Signs
which we're formerly used, are now
being replaced with metal Tne text
of the signs desired is furnished by
the rangers who are familiar with
the country and the signs are usual
. ly painted by contract. The rangers
then post the signs while travelling
iabout their district on routine WORK
The cost of this work is therefore
{ small.
The Chief Problem.

NOW CHARGE FLAT RATE
OF 2 CENTS FOR A MILE

Under rates now in effect on al
Kansas railroads, a 2-cent flat rate
is charged. Prior to May 1, the ba.
sis for rates was always that of the
short haul to competitive points.
For instance, when the distance to
a town was so miles by one road,
and by another IS miles, the rate
for so miles was charged. Now the
basis is changed to that of the long
haul, two cents a mile for the act
ual distance.
The new ruling has little effect
on travel within the state, but APP
plies more generally to interstate
travel. A ticket over the Union Pa
cific from Abilene to st. Joseph,
Mo-, before May was $3.50. Now
It is $4.55. In the main, however,
The new rates are lower. A ticket to
City over the Union Pacific
8 now 1891 instead of $3.50.

HERINGTON WILL

Herington's city council has voted
to expend 800 to help the Rock
Island build a park east of the de-
pot. Under an arrangement with
the company, the city is to furnish
the trees and shrubbery and the
company is to do the filling and
grading. 1t is estimated by the Rock
Island landscape gardener that
about 100 trees will be needed.
Work on the park will begin
very shortly.
Henry Liggett asked the council
for the use of the streets for the

MORE NEWBERN BRIDGE
TROUBLES ARE STIRRING

Since 1909 there has been dis
sension in Newbern township over
the question of a bridge across Tur'
key creek. A recent court order that
the bridge be placed there does not
seem to have settled the matter.
In 1909 the bridge was washed
out. When the time came to put In
new bridge, the factions in the
nelghborhood could not agree as to
where 1t should be placed. One fac
ton wished the bridge placed where
the old one had been; another pick
ed a new location.
The township board was between
two fires. Finally mandamus pro-
ceedings we're brought against the
board of highway commissioners,
who are the township officers-Av-
cry Engle, Samuel Minter and Geo.
Lay-to compel them to order the
bridge built. At the trial at the last
term of district court, the township
board declared that one faction urg-
ed them to put in the bridge and
another faction threatened them
with injunction suits II they did.
Judge King ordered the bridge
quilt by May 1. This was done, but
people in the neighborhood have
made complaints to the county COM i
nissioners that the bridge is only
