lea was surprise to Polly; The sor-
did conditions she found In the
keenan, street home was shock to
her who had been used to the sun
light and open air of Poland.
But her disappointment was tenn
pered by one of Gorczykush's sons,
Joseph. Joseph was three years
Younger than Polly, but a stalwart
boy, whose growth defied the en-
vironment in which he existed.
It was not long before Polly and
Joseph fell in love with each other.
Every evening they would go to the
free parks and talk of their future,
which would be lived as one.
And then the head of the family
found he could increase his income
by taking in boarders. So he dou-
bied I'D the members of his own fam
ilv. Not knowing of the love of Polly
and Joseph he placed them in one
room.
Polly and Joseph's love for each
other. coupled with the conditions
under which they lived, led to the in
evitable. Time passed. They con-
tinued to live in the same room.
Then Polly came to Joseph and told
him that a child would soon be born
Joseph went to his father and ask
ed permission to marry Polly. He
loved her and she loved him, he told
the elder Gorczykush. The father
ragged and told him he would never al
low it. Joseph was earning So a
week now, and Sc of that went to his
father.
The father ended the argument by
putting Polly out. But the boy show
ed real manhood. He rented Few
rooms at low rent at 1892 Milwaukee
avenue, which he and she maintained
out of their miserable wages.
That was eight weeks ago. Joseph
lived at his own home for two weeks
and then went to Polly.

PLANTING FORT
 BAYARB WATERSHED

Within the next few weeks the Forest Service is to commence re- forestation on the watershed above Fort Bayard, near Silver City, New Mexico. The object of this resfor- estation is largely to determine the feasibility If reforesting land which has been denued by excessive lum- bering, by planting western yellow pine transplants. In this project some 75,0O0 trees are to be set out and as the result of past experience it is expected that methods have developed which will insre that a reasonable proportion of the trees will survive. This planting oper- ation is of unusual interest inas- much as it covers an area with drawn for hospital purposes by the War Department.

STUDY OF METHODS OF CUTTING WESTERN.
 YELLOW PINE

Field work incident to the de- tailed study of 400 acres of yellow pine timber located within the Co., conino National forest in Arizona has recently been completed. The stand under consideration was a virgin yellow pine stand running about 1000 feet board measure per acre. Detailed maps were made and descriptive data showing accu- rate conditions existing in the vir- gin stand were collected. The stand was then divided into four compartments and the timber com prised within each compartment was cut by different method. For example, in one compartment all of the timber, with the exception of leaving a few scattered seed trees per re, was cut, while in the other compartments the cutting was a good deal lighter. It is proposed to keep a close watch on this tract with the view of determining which of the four methods is most suitable to western yellow pine, when g second cut can be made and under which system a new crop of timber will establish itself most readily Forest officers consider this stud, of great importance since it vii
 have a great effect upon futur,
 management of western yellow pin
 stands.

SANTA FE ENTERTA||A-
 MANT A RARE TREAT
First Reading Room Num- Der Proves an Entirely New Feature to Santa Fe Course.

The free enterta inment given by the Santa Fe Rarlway Company last week, Consisted of interpre- tive dancing by Miss Gould and Ted Shawn, assisted by Miss Mum and Mir. Williams. Mime Van den Berg also assisted in the evenings entertainment with severrl vocal selections. The dancing was a new feature to the Course.
 The dancing by Gould and Shawn was excellent and that of Mum and Williams was we'll done. This form of entertainment was new to most of the audience and for that reason was not so highly appreciat- ed by them as it would have been had they understood it more fully. However, on the whole, the classic dancing, in particular, was well received, and would probably be better understood and more enthus- iastically applauded another time
 The singing by Mime Van den Berg captlvated the audience even more fully than the dancing. She was twice onchored. Her voice was very sweet in the upper regis ter and pleasant in the lower, and her manner was pleasing.
 The opera eouse was not large enough to accomodate the crowd that came. The hall was packed many We're unable to gain entrance. The Santa Fe peserve much credit for the educational work which ii has done by this number of the reading circle course.

A SORY PLIGHT

R. T. Brown is in sory plight this week. A horse stepped on his right foot and anyone who has tried it will confess that there is no particular pleasure attached to loaning ones foot to a horse for standing ground even for the brief est possible length of time. But ''dat only half de story is." You see the horse appropriated the use of the other foot at precisely the same moment that he stepped on the right. Hence the plight. MT |. Brown can't tell upon which foot he snoui 1 limp.

MORE CONCERNING i;
 COMING ELEC7)0N
A Prominent Citizens Views on What the City Needs in the Way of Officials and a Full Ticket suggested
(Contributed)

(Contributed) As the city election is only few months away, it behoves the citi- zens of this community to com mence looking around for proper persons to fill the several city po- sitions.
 It is about time that this city had an administration who as a whole will forget pers ,nal interests and act on every measure for the benefit of the whole people and not few. It is a notorious fact that administrations in the past have in a measure been influenced in their work by certain interests or firms whom they are friendly towards, and it is about time these condi- tions were changed.
 To have an ideal city admins tration, all members should be small property owners, broad mind- ed, and with the interest of the whole people at heart. The idea of electing large property owners and representatives of a certain class to administer the affairs of the city is all wrong. The large property owners or big firms should not object to a fairminded admin istration. The whole peoples are of more importance to the city than one or two cliques. By electing small property own CTS to office better city adninis- tration is possible for naturally the officers would have more interest for the city as whole than large business holders who naturally would endeavor to influence meas- lures to their personal benefits, as has been done in the past to the ,detriment of the city at large. Fol lowing are few names of persons who if elected would certainly ad- minister for the many and not for the few.

Insect Pest Attacks Alfalfa

Fred Wallner reports that a pest
of worms Of the kind commonly call
ed measuring worms, have been do
ing considerable damage to his al
falfa. They were first noticed in a
field of established alfalfa. That was
cut for hay and the worms migrated
by thousands to a neighboring field
of new alfalfa and literally cut the
young plants to pieces so that it is
thought that the field will have to be
reseeded.
1t is not known whether any other
alfalfa growers have had n trouble
OF the same kind this season or not.
Mr.. Wallner expects to write to the
agricultural college for any informa-
ton they can give on the subject and
would be glad to hear from any Of
the growers around here who may
have had experience with the same
pest.-Chinook Opinion.

Overlooking Opportunities

Lots of fellows have overlooked an
| opportunity simply because they were
too close to it..
Don't be like the sick man who
heard of the curative properties of
the waters of Karsland and went there
to take them. After he arrived he
consulted a physician, who carefully
diagnosed his case and then told him
that his particular ailment would re.
spond better to the waters of a GER
tain spring in America. (Which one?"
asked the patient. Zone of the springs
in Saratoga" replied the doctor.
That's certainly fought" said the suf-
ferer, 81 live in Albany"
If you're made of the right stuff
you'll find plenty of room to create
something for yourself in the job
you've got; you can grow just as big
there as you can in something of
your own building.
They say hat opportunity knocks
once at every mans door. don't know
the name of the scientist who man
aged to get such a fine line on the
habits of opportunity; but if oppor-
nifty does itself, the
chances are that it misses many a
door, and in some cases, when it does
knock, | presume, there's nobody at
home"
My impression is that opportunity
as a rule doesn't knock at all-or very
rarely. Opportunity consists of think
ing, doing, having plenty of patience
and perseverance,, possessing the abil-
ity to size up a situation and having
the nerve and willingness to take ad-
vantage of it.-Leslie's Weekly.

Good Prospect for Sheep Industry

In the current issue of the Farm
and Fireside appears the following
statement of the prospects for wool
and mutton:
For the first time in recent worlds
history the demand for wool has YER
taken the supply. At least, MI. r. B.
Thompson, of the National Wool
Warehouse and Storage company so
states. and asserts that there is no
surplus of wool today. and the prob
lem of getting supplies at the mills
is an acute one.
1.-The worldwide shortage of meat
has kept the iocks from increasing
even in South America, New Zea-
land, and Australia. while in this
country the encroachments of farm
ing upon the ranges have caused a
startling decrease in the lumber of
sheep in the great sheep.grOwing
states. Bankers estimates indicate
a decrease of forty per cent in Mon
tana, twenty per cent in Wyoming,
ten per cent in Idaho. fifteen per cent
in Utah, ten per cen in Oregon-a
decrease of twenty-five million pounds
of wool in these five states.
1.-THE farmer who can keep sheep
successfully need have no fear, We
think, of very low prices for wool,
Mutton is gaining in popular favor,
and seems to be sure of good prices,
The transfer Of the American wool
and mutton business from the ranges
to the farms is taking place slowly
and while it is going on the farm
flock will be getting the benefit OF
what may after all be only temporary
scarcity in sheep and their products

Commission May Fix Rates

Helena, June 26.-The Montana
railroad commission was advised to-
day by Attorney General Kelly that
it has the authority to establish one
rate for outgoing business and an
other rate on inbound business. In
other words, the commission can put
into effect jobbing or commodity
rates, which will have the effect of
building up certain points as jobbing
centers. The commission asked,
Can one city or town in the state en-
JOY a lower freight rate on outbound
business than is charged for the same
service, and moving over the same
rails inbound?"
The commission, replies Mr.. Kelly,
after a long analysis of the various
factors involved, is vested with dis
cretionary power and authority in the
fixing of rates. "a question of fact
is thus presented to it, and in decid.
ing the question, the rule to be OBJ
served is that which is just and rea.
sonable, under existing conditions,
and so far as possible, uniformity
commensurate with the public welfare
under similar conditions. The name
applied to the rate is immaterial. The
commission, therefore, has the author
ity, when in it's judgment conditions
justify it, to establish one rate for
Outgoing business and another rate
for inbound business"

Of it's members personally are aware
Of the hardsllips now imposed upon
homesteaders under the new law. But
there are different proposals pending
before the committees; the western
element in the house has made no eff
fort to get together, end therefore the
committee has not acted. If the home
stead law is to be amended this ses

members made some decisive move,
while the house leaders are in a mood
to grant the west a hearing on the
important legislation it is demanding.
