John wesley's fourth year with the
club was one long blaze of glory. The
Apaches thumped their way from fourth
position to first, and hung on there until
tho close of the season. This was due
in great measure to the terrific hit"
ting of Gus Bergstrom, who was cele-
brating his ninth year with the team.
The post-season series was more OF
joke than a contest, the Apaches losing
but one game to their rivals

William Humphries Assessed Ten

Pernicious annoyance of residents

Frank l.. Moore and any such anapy-
ance will be frowned up0I1e by
the management of the Moscow

This was demonstrated in case

smith, entered a plea of guilty to a
charge of disturbing the peace, and
was fined $40 and costs by Probate
Judge Morgareidge, bringing the to-
tai UP to about SIT.
The complaining witness in the
case was Mrs. Ewes, who conducts a
beauty parlor on Second street. For
long period Mrs. Ewes had been~an-
noyed by some person calling her on
the telephone in which language was
used which is prohibited under the
law. She complained to the telephone
company and receiving cooperation

ance. The prosecuting attorney was
called in and complaint sworn to

WAS INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE
Associated FOresters Hear E. {
Arnold Talk on Public Lands

E.. C. Arnold's lecture on Pub
lie Lands to the Associated Foresters
Tuesday evening was one of especial
ly instructive value to the foresters.
Mr.. Arnold is we'll qualified to speak
on such a subject, having served sew
eral years as attorney in the employ
of the Forest Service. He handled his
subject under three heads, first the
source of public lands, second the
disposal of public lands, and finally
the history and purpose of National
Forests
The term public lands properly
used, said Mr.. Arnold, applies only
to unreserved land that is, it does not
include military reserves, national
forests, or other reservations.
Public lands, he explained, have
been acquired in two ways, first By
cession by the original states to the
federal government, and second by
purchase, or treaties with foreign
countries By cession from the states
the federal government acquired 259
million acres of land, and by purchase
and treaty, 1882, 900 acres. This
land has cost an average of 6.36 cents
per acre.
Extensive disposal of the p lblic
domain began in 1861 with the passage
of the Presumption Act. Other laws
were passed later, the most important
being the Homestead Act OF 1862,
which stands today with certain mod
ifications. Mr.. Arnold cited several
instances. showing the abuse of these
laws under the old regime and eX-
planned that, in the last few years, the
settlers, in order to secure land, have
been compelled to make some show
of complying with the laws.
Besides this disposal of land to
settlers the government has made
grants to the states, par
for the support Of schools.
The first move towards forestry was
made in 1876 when Congress made an
for the purpose of in
vestigating forest conditions in this
country. In 1891 a law was passed !
the president to set aside
certain lands as Forest Reserves. /
President Harrison was the first to
act under this law. The law has since
been modified SO that in most of the
western states such reservations can /
be made only by act of Congress. All
public lands can be included in Ma
.ional Forests except those more val
liable for minerals or agriculture.
Owners of claims within National For
ssts are entitled TIMBER free as is
necessary for the development Of their
,laims, but none to sell.
