 When this legislation first agitated there was little prospect of it's frution. Ten years ago was opposed by the sheepmen and the large cattle men. The latter believed that it would impose upon them hamperng restrictions. Smaller cattlemen thought they saw in it something that would be of advantage to their more powerful neghbors. There were always those jealous of the power of the states who objected a further assertion of the federal right of control.
 The fight for the governmental regulation of the public grazing lands conducted largely by the stockmen of Arizona where the least opposition to it had been developed. Year by year objections were overcome until there is hardly catteman, large small, anywhere who does some thing in the proposed measure to his advantage. It Wthholds valuable privilege from the settler It defines and protects the rights of all occupants of the range
 The admirable operation of the federal control of national forests has been valuable object les son. though we can remember when only few years ago. stockmen felt that it chafed them. The administration by the government of the ranges has be regarded essential part of the national conservation program.

CHECKING NEARLY DONE
Final Count of "Seven Sisters" Must
be Finished Monday Night.

Sometime before next Monday
night Secretary of State Howell must
complete the official check of the
"seven sisters" petitions and it is ex-
pected that the final count, which
will take about two days, will be be-
gun today or tomorrow. The force
of 100 or more checkers who have
been busy on the petitions for several
weeks has been reduced each day this
week, but before the big crew was
broken up, the moving picture men
took photos of the force at work in
the house chamber Monday morning.
Opponents of the measures predict
that the official count will show an
insufficient number of signatures,
basing this prediction on the per-
centage of illegal signatures found
on the prohibition and eight-hour
bills, while the proponents of the
measures insist they have enough
bonafide signatures to insure them a
place on the ballot, SO that If they
are not certified for vote, court pro-
ceedings very likely will be institut-
ed.
The final count of the Socialist
eight-hour bill was completed last
Friday, when the secretary of state
announced it had 1889 valid sigma
lures, 1888 more names than neces-
sary.

COUNTY SCHOOLS N
FL0UR|SH|NG SHAPE
80 OF "a DISTRICTS HAVE NINE
MONTHS TERM-32 ARE
ON CASH BASIS.

For the first time in the history Of
Thurston county, not one of it's
school districts had a term of less
than eight months duration, while in
so out of the ga districts school was
conducted for nine months, accord
ing to the annual report of County
Superintendent l.. A. Kibbe, just pre-
pared. 1t is expected that during the
coming school year at least Sc of the
81 districts will maintain school for
nine months.
Another striking fact emphasized
in the report is that 81 of the dis
tricts have more than enough cash
on hand to meet all outstanding war
rants, while IL others have enough
money due them in taxes to take up
all their warrants, so that. practically
speaking. 80 of the 81 districts are
not only out of debt but have cash
balance on hand. Though the bond
ed indebtedness of all the districts
shows an increase Of $4,000, owing
to the number of new buildings and
additions constructed during the last
year, the report points out that this
is practically Offset by the fact that
there is $14,163 more in the bonded
Indebtedness fund now than at the
end Of the previous school year.

His Line That Night.
Dwight L. Moody during his frst
visit TO England attended u meeting at
which the Earl OF ~Shaftesbury wis
chairman. The duty Of proposing "a
vote OF thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement mnde:
"Our American cousin. the Rev. Mr..
Moody of Chicago. will now move u
vote OF thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion"
The whole thing was quite out OF
Mr.. MoOdy's line. With nm utter dis
regard OF co-nventionallty he burst upon
the audience with the bold
ment:
The speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with. I'm not the Rrr.
Mr.. Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight
L Moody, a Sunday school worker.
And then I'm not your American
cousin by the gracp " God I'm your

we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When ut one time
they offered to thank our Mr.. Lincoln
for presiding over u meeting In Illinois
he stopped t. He snid he'd tried to de
his duty and they'd tried 70 do theirs.
He thought It was about an even thing
all around"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. MoOdy's hearers Such
a talk could not be gauged by my
known standard Mr.. Moody carried
bis English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest Iabors.
