REVISION OF THE
NEWPORT CHARTER
Improvement Association Sub
mits Draft Which, However,
Proves Too Radical.

Newport, R. l., Oct. 31.-During the
summer a committee Of the Newport
Improvement Association, made up for
the most part Of members Of the sum
mer colony. Of which association John
Thompson Spencer, Of Philadelphia, is
president, brought out a report favor
ing the revision Of the city charter.
The committee was headed by Profes-,
sor John ". Burgess, former dean Of
Columbia, now a permanent resident
here, but the proposed charter draft
that they submitted was a little too
radical to please. It caused consider
able comment in all sections OF the
city.
One Of the basic principles OF the
proposed charter is that IL would give
all taxpayers in the city, men an!
women, a chance to vote on munich ul
matters, and as there are on he TAX
lists here many women, especially
among the summer colony, IT would
give them q voice IN the Management.
OF the affairs of the city if such char
ter was adopted.
Despite the criticism the improve
ment association has not given up the
effort 10 bring about a charter change.
The association has sent 20 all of the
taxpayers of the city-that is, those Of
the sO-called summer colony-a cIrcu-
lar asking them 10 express their opin-
ion whether or not they favor the Dro-
posed charter, or If not that, modified
edition Of il.
The total tax collected in Newport
each year is less than 100000, and u,
was learned this week that the as
ISOLATION had received answers 10 its
letters from taxpayers representing
, oven S350OO0 of the total paid taxes.
These taxpayers names will be col
lected in petition form and will be pre-
scented some time during the winter.
either TO the City Council or to the
General Assembly direct, and they Will
ask that they have an equal right as to
the expenditure Of the city's money.
Mrs. Vanderbilt, widow Of Cornelius
Vanderbilt, is the largest single tax
payer here, and she is among those
who have sent favorable reply to the
/ Improvement association.
The closing spirit seemed 20 have
grlpped the members OF the fall colony
here this week. for there have been
quite a few who have closed their sum-
mer homes and have returned 20 New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities for the winter
Among those who have closed are
Mrs. Henry w. Bookstaver and her
daughter, Mrs. Frank W. Andrews;
Mrs. J. r. Busk and her daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Edward c. Post, Mr.. and Mrs.
Elbridge T. Gerry, Mrs Frederick Pear

spur grows in abundance Larkspur is
very poisonous to cattle, but is not
eaten at all by horses. Before this fence
was built, 60 cattle had died in one
month, June; after it was built and the
cattle were excluded from the larkspur
areas there was further loss of only s..
though July and August are considered
by cattlemen in Utah the worst months
for larkspur poisoning. Forest officers
therefore have estimated that this fence,
which costs $40, saved $500 in the
first year it was built, and should save
$4,000, or five times its cost, each sea-
son. 1t is said, too, that it increases the
carrying capacity of the grazing district
about Is per cent.
Two other fences in the same state,
costing $500, will, on conservative
estimate by the cattlemen, save approx
imately $4,000 year.
In certain areas where the fences will
greatly minimize the problem OF the
forest officers in handling cattle within
the national forests, the cost is borne by
the government. In other areas where
the benefits to stockmen have been
shown they are built in cooperation
with the cattle owners, who pay large
part of the expense or furnish the labor.
Throughout the national forest states
there are cattle and sheep owners asso-
Citations which represent individuals
who Craze their fiocks and herds upon
the national forests. All differences
which arise between the forest officers
and the individual owners are submitted
to the advisory boards of these asso-
Citations, and they are therefore clearing
houses for the settlement of any diff
eulties which may need adjustment. Ac-
cording to the officials of the service,
these associations have practically elm
mated controversies, and the officials
who administer them are in perfect ac-
cord with the policies of the government.
One of the evidences of this is shown in
the drift fences which help both sides.

Are Your Children's Clothes Injured a

gestion:
"Why are not school cloak rooms

with hangers for the coats instead OF
the old-fashioned way7 l have just
got my little girl new coat, and it
came to me, all Of sudden, that it
would soon be badly out of shape on
account of the manner of hanging at
school. ] suggested taking hanger,
but was told that it would not be
there long, In other words, the idea
was so good that someone else would
take that same hanger. 1t would not
cost any more to have the cloak-room
up to date than as they are, and would
mean much TO people who get many of
their ideas from their school surround
ings,"

DRIFT FENCES
TO KEEP STOCK
Government Helps in Constructing
Them-They Are Intended to
Restrict Grazing.

In order to control the movements of
sheep and cattle grazed under permits
on the national forests, the government
is constructing what are known as drift
fences which facilitate the counting and
handling of the animals. These fences
also help TO regulate the time when
stock may enter the forests, SO that
sheep and cattle can be kept off in the
carly spring until the young grass and
other forage plants have had chance
to get a start. In some cases, too, they
restrict grazing to certain areas and
serve either to protect some grazing
grounds or to secure complete utili-
cation of the forage ON others.
What Is a Drift Fence?
The drift fences are not enclosures
but generally extend for long distances
across the country, much like the drift
fences" or snow fences along railroad
rights of way The railroad fences,
however, take their name from the fact
that they serve to pile the wind blown
snow to the windward side of the track,
so it will not settle in the cuts and inn
pede traffic. The drift fences for stock
keep the animals from going in certain
directions, or drifting" to use a cattle
mans expression, or restrict them to
specified areas for the winter and to
Others for the summer. They may also
prevent stock from grazing upon areas
where poisonous plants are found thus
they lessen the cost of herding and pre-
vent losses.
Examples of the use of drift fences
are furnished in several built on the
Dixie forest OF Utah, where stock graz
ing is important Five miles of drift
fences were built by the government on
this forest to protect the water supply
of the city of st. George from contami-
nation by forest range cattle. This,
with other stretches of substantial wire
fence in connection with rocky lodges,
which are equally good barriers against
stock, makes the southern boundary Of
one of the divisions of this forest stock
proof, except at certain established gate
ways. During the coming year sixteen
miles of fence is to be built across the
northern part of this division. This will
distinctly separate the northern range
from that to the south, which is on the
average some 5000 feet higher and viii
be used exclusively as summer range
By keeping the stock on the separate
areas until the forage on the other has
had a chance to start, both winter and
summer range will be greatly improved
and their carrying capacity increased.
Horses, Cattle and Larkspur.
Another interesting development is
four and one-half miles of drift fence
on the Fishlake forest in the same state.
1t was built to keep cattle on the north
side and horses on the south where lark
