NOTES FROM THE
FOREST DEPARTMENT

Mark Anderson, of the forest SER
Ruby national forest in Nevada, where
the government is conducting an eX-
pertinent in an attempt to reduce or
eliminate the loss of cattle due to
larkspur poisoning. The poison area
upon which the experiment is being
conducted occupies small area on
the Secret chreek watershed in what
is appropriately called Death canyon.
For the size of the area. more cattle
have undoubtedly been lost in this
canyon than on any other such poison
area in this region. A year ago the
forest service arranged to Craze sheep
Gil these larkspur patches in the ear
liCr part of the firaZing season. The
larkspur being hibhly palatble and
non-poisonous to sheep, il was quickly
reduced TO negligible quantity. As
a result of this close grazing by sheep
no cattle were lost last year. and Il
close botanical study shows that the
ldrkspur plants have been considerab.
ly reduced in number. The forest
service and the stockmcn are coope.
rating again this season to continue
TIC plan, and the sheep have already
been admitted TO the area. and it is
believed that no further loss will oc-
cur among the cattle grazing in that
vicinity this year. Mr.. Anderson re.
pCrts that one COW that reached the
poison area ahead of the sheep, few
days ago, died almost instantly after
eating a quantity of laTkspur.
The forest service is conducting en-
pcriments OF similar nature on two
other forests, the White River, in Col
orado. and the Mono. in California
This plan is particularly favored be.
cause it brings about a full utilization
Of the foreagc plants, while eliminat-
ing the loss of cattle. 1t is believed
that eventually the larkspur will dis
appear If prevented, through early
grazing, from maturing seed
Attract of GAL acres OF land in the
humboldt National forest has recently
been listed for Mr.. James F. Riardan
OF Mountain City, Nevada, as an ad.

man Rosenthal 10y the four gun.men
who were recently electrocuted for

lett for him that he will escape the

This case is regarded as one of the
most noted cases ever tried in the Uni

Becker that he had lost his appeal
came as a sickening blow. He had eX.
pressed confidence of securing new
trial and finally being ecquitted. His
wife is prostrated with grief. There
is nothing left now for the courts in
the case but to fix the time for the
eleCtrocution of the eXpoliceman.

OF the Lusitania, torpedoed May off

Carl E. Foss of Marlem, Mont q

terday aboard the steamer New York
from Liverpool.
From the deck of the Lusitania I

glasses and through them saw the
submarine plainly, although l could
not make out it's nationality or num-
ber. 1t was travelling at the same
speed as the steamer-we were going
very slowly-and left white wake

The Lusitania's officers must have
seen the submarine at the same time,
for the course of the steamer was
changed. The submarine was sub
merged after staying on the surface
about five minutes. Forty minutes
later the torpedo struck.
There was some little excitement
on deck, but no panic. The steamer
tipped to one side. / was about to

the life belts to passengers as long

mitting acts of hostility during their

The news of the aerial attacks on
Italian seaports and the aggression of
Austrian warships on the eastern
coast of Italy was received in Rome
with a sense of relief for the reason
that it showed hostilities had been
opened by Austria-Hungary.
1t is evident that the Italian people
are standing firm and there are many
indications of their discipline and high
spirits. Even those who for reasons of
principle were opposed to war have
asked to be permitted to serve their
country in the ranks Of the Red Cross.
