PEOPLE OF NEW YORK
VOTE TO BUY FORESTS

At the recent election the people oi
New York State voted to tax them
selves $10,000,000 for the purchase Of
forest preserves. The fact that this
was not done by act of legislature, but
| by referendum, shows how popular
the idea of state forests has become
with the people at large. The forest
preserves of New York are not only of
great economical importance for the
preservation of the water supply, and
of local industries, but serve as an
immense park which is visited annual
ly by millions of people. Of the total
amount voted $7,500,000 will be avail
able for further purchases in the Adj
rondacks and Catskills, where the
State owns already 1,S14,550 acres Of
forests and lakes; and $2,500,000 for
the Highlands of the Hudson Preserve.
A private subscription Of a like sum
had already been secured contingent
on the passage Of this proposition of
the referendum. There will, there
fore, be available altogether Sc, 10000
for the completion Of a great inter-
state park in the Highlands of the
Hudson.
This splendid example set by a
wealthy state will undoubtedly have a
valuable influence on other eastern
states. The fourteen thousand acres
which the Vermont Forestry Depart
ment has acquired is good start in
the right direction, but it is only
drop in the bucket compared to the
3 100000 acres of woodland in the
State, large part of which is in
large mountain tracts, suitable for
state ownership.

| NATIONAL FOREST
ELIMINATION

Washington, Nov. 30-As a result
of recommendation of the Secretary
of Agriculture, based upon approved
classification reports submitted by the
Forest Service, 19,840 acres of lane
have been eliminated from the Routt
/ National Forest in northwestern Col
orado by Presidential proclamation
This action is in accordance with the
policy of putting all lands in the Ma
tional Forests to the use to which they
are best suited, The area in question
/ is located in what is known as Ham,
Creek Basin, or Elk River Park, about
% miles north of the town Of Steam
boat Springs, and consists chiefly of
grassland with a small amount of
scattered woodland.
The elimination comprises practical
ly solid block from 6 to miles long
and about a miles wide Approxim-
ately one-third of the entire area is
already alienated and in private own
ership. Forest Service reports on the
classification Of the area show it to
have little value for watershed protec-
ton or other National Forest purpos-
es. The greater portion Of the soil
itself is more or less adapted to culti-
walton, but on account Of the high ele-
walton and unfavorable climatic condi-
tions, it is believed that the area has
only low value for practical agricul-
ture.
A classification Of practically all the
National Forests is being made by the
Forest Service in order to determine
the character and suitability to agri-
culture of the land which they contain.

Bert Mundell made a good trade in
Brattleboro a few days ago, when he
took up NJ. J. Sherry's offer that he
would sell him three two-year-oId
heifers for SIS. These heifers were
on the Sherry farm and had become
so wild during the summer that Mr..
Sherry could not catch them. Tired Of
the attempt, he agreed 10 sell them for
SIS and let the new owner take the
risk. Mr.. Mundell, with the aid Of two
companions, sighted the heifers and
brought them down with rife. The
hides were worth the SIS and as he
sold both those and the beef, the bar
gain brought him gain Of from SIS

SETTLE DIFFERENCES
IN GUILD MATTER
Rupert Medicine Firm Case Csme 10
Sudden Ending

Sudden Ending
A settlement out Of court was reach
ed Wednesday morning in the case OF
Ella NJ. Roberts. Charles NJ. Sheldon
and the trustees Of the Methodist
Episropal Church Of West Pawlei
against Mrs. Charlotte NJ. Guild and
Mrs. Guild as guardian Of her two
children. and upon the filing Of the
stipulation Of settlement with the
clerk Of the Bennington County court
Il IL understood that the case will be
dropped. Hearings have been in prog
ress before Chancellor Frank l.. Fish
of yergenncs in Rutland for the last
few days. The diseontlnuance Of the
legal fight was announced following a
long conference Of the attorneys in the
case.
There was considerable dissatisfac-
ton among the owners Of the j. IL.
Guild Company Of Rupert concerning
the business management, both pres
ent and past and the starting Of the
case in chancery resulted in the issu-
ance of an injunction and more re-
Gently the appointment Of a temper
ary receiver, William II. Roberts of
Manchester Center, cashier of the Fac
tory Point National Bank.
The orators were represented by
Attorney Frank C. Archibald Of Man
chester Center, and Attorneys c. II.
Darling and Smith Of Burlington,
while the defendants interests were
looked after by Attorneys +. II. Hol-
den Of Bennington, w. b. c. Stickney
and b. l.. Stafford Of Rutland. The
hearings lasted through Monday,
Tuesday and up to II o'clock Wednes-
day morning when the agreement was
reached out Of court.
Will Divide Profits
The terms upon which the case was
settled have not yet been made known,
but il is understood that the profits of
the business accruing for the last few
years will be divided according to the
stock ownership, the business sold and
the money received divided likewise.
On the death of DR.. J. II. Guild
years ago, the business, which was the
manufacture of the Green Mountain
Asthma Cure, was split up. To Mr..
Sheldon, long time friend, he left 10
per cent interest, like amount to the
Methodist Church and 16 per cent
interest in the business to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Roberts, and the balance TO
his son, Harley Guild.
Orators Get Lions Share
Following the formation of this
partnership the business was conduct
ed by Myron Roberts and it was claim
ed that his disbursements at times
favored the orators in the case, that
he withdrew moneys which were not
accounted for and that he wrongfully
divided the earnings of the company.
In 1907 Harley Guild died, leaving a
wife and two children and following
his death some years, the manage
ment was taken over by Mrs. Guild,
who started drawing a salary of $4,000
per year and bonus of s720 in rent
for building used by the company.
The orators complained of this ex-
pense and the salary and the defense !
showed some proof of their claim con {
cerning the management of the busi- s
ness prior to 1915.
The settlement will mean the divi- J
sion of about S35,000 {

F0RGER CAUGHT
N CALIFORNIA
CHECK ARTIST WHO STUNG LO.
CAL HOTEL FALLS INTO
DETECTIVES NET

The man, known here as C. E.
Smith, who on Sept. 10 succeeded in
cashing two $50 forged checks in this
city, has been apprehended at Santa
Barbara, CAL. by the American De-
tective Agency and is being held
there, according to information re-
ceived by Chief of Police Nolan.
Smith claimed to be representing
the Perfection Bedding Company of
Chicago and the checks which he CASH
bore the name of that concern. The
first check was cashed by the Great
Northern hotel, and at the time Smith
secured the money he showed an Or
der which he had taken from the
Hamre Furniture Company as evil
dence of his connection with the Per-
fection Bedding Company. None Of
the Great Northern clerks recall
cashing the second $50 check, but as
it turned up at the bank with the en-
dorsement of the hotel, it is assumed
that Smith in some way obtained the
endorsement stamp and passed the
check.
Smith apparently was we'll supplied
with aliases, and at Billings, Mont,
he attempted to cash some checks
under the name of w. A. Adams. The
hotel there was suspicious and wired
the Perfection Bedding Company at
Chicago who at once replied that they
had no one by that name represent
ing them. They put the American
Detective Agency on the trail of the
criminal, but Smith, or Adams had
left Billings twelve hours before word
came to arrest him. He was trying
the same game at Santa Barbara,
Calf. under the same of J. A. Strong
when arrested.
The Califoria authorities have noti-
fled Sheriff Erickson that they will not
surrender the offender to North Da-
kota until the charges held against
him there have been satisfied.

Own Record On PrOgressivism
With McCumber

"Fighting for ones country is one
thing, and fighting for another mans
investment in a foreign country is
another matter" said John Burke,
United States treasurer, discussing
the Mexican situation in his political
address to an audience of about 500
people at the Armory Saturday even
ing, Oct. %.
John Bruegger, former Democratic
national committeeman was chairman
of the meeting and introduced the
speakers. Charles Simon, candidate
for congress-, preceded Mr.. Burke and
gave resume of the progressive
legislation enacted by the present
administration.
Mr.. Burke was one of the most pop
ular governors the state has ever had,
and he was greeted with enthusiastic
applause when he rose to speak.
Thruout his entire address, which last
ed nearly two hours, he held the close
attention of his audience while he dis
cussed in simple direct language the
questions of the campaign, outlined
the legislative achievements Of the
dministration and presented his ar
guments in favor of re-electing Will
son. Applause was frequent as time
after time he touched some point near
the hearts of his audience.
Complimenting Williston on its
great progress since his last visit, Mr..
Burke said, in part: "North Dakota
is all good, but some parts are a lit
tie bit better than others. / am al
ways pleased to come to Williston
whether on a campaign tour or in a
lawsuit"
Commenting on the work done by
the administration, he said: even
ths Republican newspapers in the east
asS5sait that it is an administrator Of
great achievement in the way OF con-
structive beneficial legislation. The
president has kept Congress in ses-
sion nearly all the time he has been
President. / never knew another man
who had the same power to appeal to
the reason of men and make them see
that the thing he wants done is the
proper thing to do. 1t is on account
of this that we have all this beneficial
legislation. There is no clustering
about it, no waving of the big stick
just the simple appeal to reason
which always brings results.
"The reserve banking la wis the
greatest constructive financial legisla-

BUCK" OLSON BROUGHT BACK
BY DEPUTY STROM-BROkE
JAIL YEAR AGO

Sheriff Erickson and his deputies
were we'll pleased when word came
from the authorities at Conrad, Mont,
that Louis, alias "Buck" Olson had
been arrested in compliance with the
advertisements sent out by the Will
liams county official. Axel Strom,
deputy, went to Conrad and return
ed with Olson Wednesday morning.
In July, 1915, Olson pleaded guilty
to burglary committed at Ray and
was sentenced to one year in the peni-
tentiary by Judge Fisk. While wait
ing for the transportation officer to
take him to Bismarck Olson escaped
through connivance with a boy on the
outside who learned where the cell
key was kept.
Cards were sent to many police and
county officers giving a description of
the missing man. One of the prin-
cipal marks was tattooed design on
the forearm reading: ITO the men,
ory of my mother" This mark was
the cause of Olson's arrest. To Dep
uty Strom he stated that he travelled
widely since his escape having been
as far east as New York city. He
said he expected obes picked up SOON
er or later. Olson will be arraigned
again and may receive longer SEN

DEFEAT SIDNEY
BY HIGH SCORE
CUTTINGS ELEVEN SHOWS
GREAT CLASS IN GAME WITH
FAST MONTANA TEAM
Count 80 to 20-Fast Open Style Play
Made Game Exciting-Sidney
Boys Clean Sports

"Williston is the cleanest team w
have played this year." We are per
fectly satisfied with the treatment W.
received from the players and from
the officials. We are surprised at vii
liston's strength and found ourselves
Outclassed.'
Such in substance were the franl
and sportsmanlike comments Of mem
bers Of the Sidney highschool team
after the game Saturday. Coach Brown
could hardly be convinced that thu
Williston eleven was the same that
played his team at Sidney few
weeks ago. Browns boys had not
lost a game before this season anC
had met several of the best teams ir
eastern Montana including the Glen
dive high school team.
Showing remarkable improvement
over their work of the week before
Coach Cuttings high school proteges
ran away from the Sidney high schoo
boys by 13 touchdowns to 8. Willis
ton kicked eleven of it's goals while
Sidney succeeded in two trials out Of
three, making the final score 80 to 20
In spite of the uneven score, the game
was fascinating to watch, and the
crowd was on edge from first to last
The Sidney boys fought hard and
proved that they were dangerous by
intercepting one of Williston's passes
and converting it into a touchdown
and negotiating two passes of theil
own that resulted in touchdowns. The
work of the Sidney backfeld was gooc
and in r. Kreis they have one Of the
fastest halfbacks to be found on 9
school team anywhere. Any time he
got possession of the ball and couple
of feet in the clear he was gone.
In the lile Williston showed great
superiority over their opponents bott
on defence and offense. The work
with forward passes of Scott, Brueg'
ger, Greengard and Gordon was un.
usually excellent. A large majority
of the passes attempted were com.
pleted.
Best of all the play was clean, sports.
manlike and free from wrangling. The
work of the officials: Hurst of Sidney
and Harding of Williston was ac-
ceptable to both sides. The Sidney
team was accompanied by large
number rooters who supported their
team loyalty. especially after they
were hopelessly beaten.
