FOREST NOTES.
From the Forest Service, e. S. De-
partment Of Agriculture.

1t is estimated that automobiles
monument last year 20 0G0 persons,
while the number of persons to reach
the Canyon by railroad was $4,000, or
five times as many as in 1914.
New Mexico official reports show
that 360,325 cattle and 1919 1852 sheep
were shipped out of that state in 1915.
Most of this stock was grazed on
public lands, especially the national
forests On the forest ranges the
forage crop is as much an object of
care as the timber crop, and is in
creasing as a result of scientific
methods.
Approximately IS per cent. Of the
losses of cattle on the national forest
ranges due to poisonous plants is
caused by tall larkspur. Death camas,
lupine, laurel, sneeZe weed, and
rubber weed are responsible for
sheep losses from such cause, while
loco weed is the principal poisonous
plant affecting horses. Last year the
loss from these causes amounted to
about 100000
That wild burros in the Grand Can
yon of the Colorado are increasing
rapidly is the report from a ranger
on the Tusayan national forest, who
says the little animals in their search
for forage are finding their way to
the top in such numbers as to con-
stitute a nuisance Already there are
thousands of the animals in the
Grand Canyon from Supai to the mouth
of the Little Colorado, according to
the forest ranger.

new INSTRUMENT
AT THE MAJESTIC
Installation of Seeburg Player, Which
Gives Wide Range of instrumental
Combinations.
PROF. WEBER THE OPERATOR

Watertown has a great many must
cal organizations of which it is proud
to boast, but a new sensation was
produced in the musical line Satur-
day evening when Bill Weber the
we'll known movie player started his
one man orchestra at the Majestic
theater. The music rendered on the
piano by him has lways been of the
best, but when he started operating
the new orchestral player, he also
started putting more spirit in the
silent drama.
The new Seeburg instrument was
installed during the past week and
was put in operation for the first time
on Saturday evening. 1t can be
operated either by power or manually.
The latter, however, will undoubtedly
become the most popular, as Prof.
Weber has already produced some
wonderful musical effects, although he
has not had much practice on the
new instrument as yet. The instru-
ment is 5 feet high, 391a inches deep
and IL feet 10 inches long. Many in
struments are embodied in this organ,
some of which are, flute, violin, traps,
fire gong, triangle, tOm-tOm, bird
whistle, pipe organ, piano castenets,
tremolo and mandolin. By combining
some of these instruments, Mr.. Weber
is able to render selections, which are
of the highest class.

BONAPARTE TO
HAVE REST ROOM
Also Place Where Community Meet
inqs Can be Held-Obituary
Of John w. House.

BONAPARTE, Iowa, Nov. 16.-The
Bonaparte Commercial club had a
meeting Friday evening with view
to buying the Mrs. J. A. Davis home
for use as a rest room. A committee
was appointed to investigate and re-
port Monday evening. At the Mon
day evening meeting a decision was
made to buy the building which was
done Tuesday morning. The front
part of the house will be made into
one large room and used as a place
to hold various kinds Of community
meetings. until such time as the club
arranges to wreck the building and
use the materials for the erection OF
one more nearly suited to the needs
of the town. A smoker" will be held
by the club on Thursday evening,
November %. Invitations will be
sent to hundred or so farmers and
citizens who are not now members.
Out Of the PTS ballots cast at
Bonaparte last Teusday, it is esti-
mated that not more than twenty
five. were completely voted. A good
many OF the voters appeared to be
tired. They skipped a few OF the
county officers. many OF the township
tickets, and there were only forty
five or fifty who voted for supreme
Judges. It is evident that many men
ought to take a few lessons in suf-
frage, or give the women chance to
show them how. .
