Dear Mrs. Thompson: ! am girl

years He has not been earning
enough money for us to get married
until lately. We sort of planned to
get married in August. Then the
other night when he came to see me
he told me that he did not love me
that his feeling for me was simply
that of a friend He said that he
would marry me if | still wanted him
to, because he knew that | had given
him the best part of my life. | told
him that of course | would release
him. Then he asked me if he might
still come to see me as a friend. |
said that he might. Since then he
has been to see me twice and il seems
to me that | can't bear to see him and
know that we will never be more than
friends. l love him so much that |
| would do anything to become his wife.
Do you think it would be wrong for
me to tell him that l have changed
my mind and do want him to marry me
whether he loves me or not? What do
you think? DISAPPOINTED.
think you better give him up en-
tirely. You really cannot ask. him to
marry you after he has said that he
/ does not love you, and you certainly
/ cannot endure a friendly rela-
tionship. If you face this disappoint-
ment bravely and make the best of
/ it, you can be happy and will prob
ably in time learn to love someone
else You are not too old, you know.

GRAZING RAILS To
ADVANCE N lSli

District Forester, George H. Cecil
of Portland. Oregon announces tha
after careful consideration the Secre
tary Of Agriculture has approved al
increase in the fees to be charged
for grazing livestock on the Nationa
ranges
This increase will be made gradual
ly for the next three years, until tht
charges reach q point equivalent to
two-thirds of the charges made BY
private owners for grazing stock OIL
their lands.
Stock associations are being advis
ed of this decision In order that state
ments regarding the views of their
members may be submitted to the
Forester by January 1. 1917, In case
they desire to discuss the matter.
Investigation of rental values from
time to time. says Mr.. Cecil has re-
vealed that the Government charges
for grazing on the National Forests
re only one-third of the market
value Of the forage. Since timber
and other resources of the National
Forests are sold at their market value
there is an increasing demand that
forage resources should be disposed
of in like manner.
The National Forests were created
for the primary purpose Of conserv-
Ing the timber and water supply. The
grazing use of the ranges, which was
found to exist when active control
of the Forests was begun, was treat
ed as a secondary matter and only a
portion of the administrative cost OF
handling the Forests was asked as a
grazing fee.
Since the National Forest states
share in all the receipts from Nation
alForest business to the extent of Is
per cent, the revenue to these states
win be materially increased by this
decision.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1916, the states of Oregon and Wash
ngton received $32.820.65 as their
share Of the grazing receipts from
the National Forests within their bor-
ders. Without considering increased
receipts from other Forest resources
this figure would be doubled by the
advance In grazing rates.

own incompetence.


II have demonstrated repeatedly
against the methods In vogue, and 1t
was because Of unsatisfactory condi-
tions that suggested the committee
to survey the penitentiary. But
matters get worse instead of better"
1t is impossible to proceed further
as they are. In justice to myself, as
governor-and the governor Is held
responsible in the eyes of the public
for the penitentiary-in justice to the
inmates and to clear the way for the
constructive investigation on the part
of the committee which meets, l ask
the other members Of the board to
join with me in requesting the resi-
gnation of Warden Minto."
At the conclusion of the governors g
statement, State Treasurer Kay mov-
ed that Minto's resignation be de-
manded and Secretary Olcott second
ed the motion.
John w. Mimic succeeded his
brother the late Harry P. Mimic, as
warden of the penitentiary a little
over a year ago, and he has had q
stormy career as warden. His re-
moval probably means that Deputy
Warden Sherwood, who is also blam-
ed much for the present deplorable
condition of the prison will also be
discharged. Chas. Murphy Of Pend
Teton has been chosen to succeed Min.
to
