SHEEPMEN ADOPT
 "BURRO' SYSTEM


 Southwestern methods of herd ing sheen adopted by northern Iflockmasters.
 That Arizona and New Mexico sheepmen use the best system for handling sheep known at present, was indirectly brought out in Associate Forester Potter's recent address before the Nation al Wool Growers association at Ogden. Utah. The bedding out" or 'burro'' system of sheep herding is merely an adoption of the method which has generally been used in the Southwest.
 In the Northwest it has form erly been the custom to establish a camp for thirty days or more and bring the sheep back to it every night. This is possible since much of the range is at a high altitude and the vegetation is rank and plentiful. It is not a method, however, to keep the range in the best condition or to prevent injury to tree seedlings.
 In the Southwest the herder seldom if ever camps more than three days in one place but is continually on the go. packing his camp outfit on his burros with his sheep as they graze. Since sheep. go from two to three days without water, he often camps a mile or more from water what is needed for cooking being pack ed in by the burros. In this way the range is conserved and graz ed with the minimum of tramp ing. The ''burro" system is al- so better for, the sheep. making heavier lambs.
 Itis this system. handed down from the days of Coronado, that the Forest Service Officials are introducing so successfully in the Northwest.

Methods of Cutting Pine

Field work incident to de- tailed study of 400, acres of wes- tern yellow pine timber located in the Coconino 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 accur- ate conditions existing in the virgin stand. were collected. The stand was then divided into four compartments and the timber comprised within each compart- ment was cut by a different method. For example, in one compartment all of the timber, with the exception of leaving a few scattered seed trees per acre, was cut. while in the other com partments the cutting was a good deal lighter: It is proposed to keep a close watch on this tract with view of determining which of these four methods is most suitable to western yellow pine, when a second cut can be made and under which system a new crop of timber will establish it. self most readily. Forest off cers consider this study of great importance since it will have a great effect upon future manage ment of western yellow pine stands.

Radium Cure for Madness

That radium is a sure cure for certain forms of madness was asserted by leading French phy- sicians, Dominici. Marchand, Charon and Petit, who have been Experimenting on inmates of the great Charenton institution in Paris. The doctors used a serum made of horses blood, radium salts having first been injected in the horses veins.
 Men and women suffering from melancholy. confused ideas, op- pression, acute dementia and general paralysis were treated, and vast improvement occurred in 75 per cent of the cases.

Forestry Recognized

Foresters and Iumberman see in a decision of the treasury De- partment in regard to the ad- ministration of the income tax, a strong argument for forestry. As they interpret the opinion of the treasury officials they under stand that no timber lands shall be subject to the tax until the timber is cut and marketed and that then the profit only will be subject to an income tax assess ment. In other words. all costs will be deducted before the tax is levied, and these will cover the cost of growing the timber. including the cost of planting where necessary and of protect ing the growing crop from fire and other depreciation.
 This decision was based upon a request for information made by P. s. Ridsdale, secretary of the American Forestry associa- ton. He asked if there would be a tax on the value of the year ly growth of timber whether it was cut or not. and also whether an income tax would be assessed on the value of the timberland. In reply the Treasury Depart ment said that '.The gain from the cutting and disposing of stumpage is realized in the year during which the timber is being cut and disposed, and that the amount received in excess of the cost of such timber is profit, and should be SO accounted for as in come tax for that year.

Women are Longer Lived

That white women live to and die at more advanced ages than men is proved by figures pub lished Monday by the Depart ment of Commerce, Until the age of eighty years, more deaths of the male members of the race are recorded. This is accounted for by the fact that there are more men than women.
 Conceding that numbers of hoth sexes are about even at the age of seventy, a great number of the surviving men die during the next decade, after which the mortality rate for women leads.
 There were 78O women over ninety-five years old who died during the year 1910, and only 534 men of the same age died; 246 people over 100 years old died during the year, and of this num- Der 149 were women. These fig ures would seem to prove that the older women die faster than the men. but actually a great many women live to greater old age than men. hence the greater mortality figures in the advanced ages.
 About the same proportions hold good among the colored races in this country negroes, Mongolians, Malays and Indians. Although comprising about only one-seventeenth of the popula tion of the country. a more than proportionate number of deaths occur at advanced ages, 126 liv- ing to be over 100 years old. Of this number ninety-three were women and thirty-three were men.

Right Kind of Pride

Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed of hard work. Work for the best salaries or wages you can get, but work for half price ratI CT than be idle. Be your own master, and do not let society or fashion swallow up your individ- uality-hat. coat and boots. Do not eat up or wear out all you earn. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your own appetite but merciful to others necessities, Help others, and ask no help for yourself. See that you are proud. Let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy; too proud to give up without conquering every difficulty; too proud to wear a coat you cannot afford to buy; too proud to be in company you cannot keep up with when it comes to expenses; too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too proud to be stingy.

FINDS CHANCE IN
 MARTIAN ZERO MERIDIAN

The Lowell Observatory has discovered that the Martian zero meridian, the Greenwich of Mars. passes the centre of the disk 12 minutes ahead of the time predicted for it in the planets ephemeris. So large a discrepancy between the received and the real time of passage can not be due to error in the posi- tion of the axis or rotation of Mars inasmuch as if any such existed even to the extent of a degree and half, it would effect the time of passage by few seconds only. The discrepany may possibly be due to an error in the accepted rotation period of the planet. or in other words the dav of Mars may be slightly diff ferent in duration from what has hitherto been supposed. The ephemeris value of the length of the planet day dates from be- fore the time of the Lowell Ob- servatory observatons and is the only fundamental datum not hitherto revised by it.
 The Lowell Observatory has noted the beginning of the Mar tain south polar cap to take place in the same curious manner as in 1911 by the deposition of sparse patches of hoar-frost like diam ond points stlppled over certain regoins in latitude 60 degrees longitude 30 degrees and latitude 58 degrees 55 degrees, quite un- like the aspect of the snow round it's north pole which IS a solid field of white now in pro- cess of melting at it's edge.

FavOrs the Hayden Act

I consider that the act recent lv introduced into congress by Representative Carl Hayden is one of the best thought out pieces of legislation that has come before the national body for some time," said Linn B. Orme.
 The division of the county by the dual method of road mileage and number of representatives. while novel is the only one that 1 have heard suggested that bears the ear marks of fairness. As a matter of practice the spars- ely settled states are the very ones that need good roads and federal aid the most and under the ordinary system of distribu- tion winch is by population or by the number of representatives in  congress, these would receive next to nothing.
 ''Take for instance our own state and compare it with any of the eastern states you please. On the basis of population Rhode Island with a fraction of our ter titory would receive millions of a national fund where we would get dollars. On the basis of the number of miles of area we would millions and Rhode Island noth- ing which is as unfair in the other direction.
 Our congressman has struck the happy medium which will work equal justice to Arizona and Rhode Island by creating the dual basis of computation, first the number of representatives and second the number of miles of post roads and combining the two in a way that will insure a fair division of such funds. - Gazette.

Chairman. Forgey, of the Independent

Members of the Columbia bar this

Associate Justice of the Supreme

with the lawyers here and they did
not hesitate to say so. They were
pretty free in criticism of the associ

aside his judicial ermine and going
into the muck and mire of factional
politics.
The telegram from Judge Lansder
to Hon. Thomas B. Forgey. chairman

Judge A. H. Roberts is a candi
