THREE NATIONAL FORESTS

On June, the President signed an
executive order consolidating the
Humboldt, Ruby and Santa Rosa ma
tional forests as one forest to be
known as the Humboldt national for
est. The change goes into effect com
mencing July /, 1917.
Up to July /, 1916, these three for
ests were administered as separate
units. On July /, 1916, theye We're
combined as one administrative unit
with headquarters at Elko, Nevada,
but each forest retained its individual
name. Under the latter change the
Ruby and Santa Rosa national forests
pass out of existence so far as the
names are concerned and hereafter
they will be a part of the Humboldt ma
tional forest. The headquarters for the
enlarged forest will remain at Elko.

It will happen that in some locali-

that this can be adjusted locally. that
should be done. Otherwise, any such
surplus or deficiency should be report

1t must not be understood that the

undertaking in any sense to find men

ROUGH ROAD IS
AHEAD FOR LONG
Concurrent Resolution Indi-
cate Senate Leaders Mean TO
Hold Up Nomination

1t begins to look as though there
was a rough road ahead for d. Ed
ward Long, of Franklin county, Gov
ernor Brumbaugh's appointee to the
superintendency of public grounds
and buildings and the vacancy existing
since A. Nevin Pomeroy resigned by
the request of the Governor may be
a long time untitled. May be A. Nevin
DIETRICH may get it after all-when
the Legislature adjourns.
Mr. Longs nomination was sent in
last night and referred to the commit
tee on executive nominations. This
morning Senator Crow introduced a
concurrent resolution, which need not
go to the Governor, providing that the
chief clerk of the department of pub
lie printing and binding be given all of
the powers of the chief of the de-
partment when vacancy exists. The
chief clerk was given permission re-
Gently to approve orders for printing
for $4,000 worth of work, but not to
sign the pay roll. Consequently no
one in the department has been paid
since december.
Under the terms of the Crow reso-
luton the chief clerk may approve
thepayroll and the hearts of the peo-
pie in the department be glad. He
may also give orders for printing and
advertising for, receive bids for and
let contracts for the four-year print
ing contracts, which must be adver-
tised on February IL and which must
be let February 81.
The resolution was adopted and sent
to the House. 1t is taken to mean that
Mr.. Longs nomination will rest for q
while.

COVENANT PLANS
Big CAMPAIGN
Rev. w. A. Bodell Will Open
Evangelistic Services
February 18

Following the rededication of its
new building, and the celebration of
the fiftieth anniversary of it's found
ing the Covenant Presbyterian Church
is about to begin an evangelistic cam
paign. Services will open in the
church Sunday, February Is.
The Rev. w. A. Bodell, evangelist,
has been secured to conduct the CAM
paign. He has recently brought to
close successful campaign in the
First Presbyterian Church of Altoona,
and is at present in the midst of a
highly successful work at Salem, o.
In Salem, more than fifty converts
came forward the first Sunday of the
campaign, when the meetings had
been running only three days.
The Presbyterians in Altoona are
particularly enthusiastic over the
work of the Rev. Mr.. Bodell, and have
sent communication to the Session
of Covenant Church, saying that of
all men now before the public, their
church prefers the Rev. Mr.. Bodell as
an evangelistic preacher.
The Rev. Mr.. Bodell has a thorough
college and theological training. He
began his religious work with the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Fifteen years We're spent by him in
the pastorate. He was often asso-
ciated with Evangelist j. Wilbur
simultaneous city campaigns.
About two years ago he gave up
his successful pastorate at Bloom
ington, ILL.,, to devote himself wholly
to evangelistic work. He has been
particularly successful in his work for
men and young men. Often more
than half his converts are from these
classes.
Maxwell, the singer for many years
associated with Biederwolf, in his
campaigns, will have charge of the
music and be the personal worker for
the campaign. He will have charge
of large chorus choir, and
the music will be a feature of the
campaign. Christians of all denomi-
nations are invited to cooperate in
this work, and Covenent Church en-
ters upon the work with the distinct
understanding that no effort will be
made to draw away people from
churches to which they are attached,
but rather that every effort will be
made to have converts enter the
church which forms for them their
natural church home.

scheme was not constitutional which
was made by e. Lowry Humes. United
States district attorney for Western
PENNSYLVANIA. Humes called 1t ridicu-
lous, or something like that. For
thirty years the position taken by
McCIain last night has been the prece-
dent and no one has ever questioned 1t
until the gallant lawyer from Mead
Vile came along. The proposition of
the Legislature delegating its power to
a coordinate branch of the
State government to an outside body
is something which is hard to take
seriously. In the case of the school
code and the compensation commits
sions, they drafted laws and nothing
else. The Humes proposition is some-
thing entirely different and the Lieu
G Governor was upheld by every
one familiar with legislative practice
to-day.
1t is believed about the Capitol that
the Sproul resolution will pass the
Senate to-day and that its adoption
will not be accompanied by any ora
torical fireworks" 1t was also said
that not more than one Democrat will
vote against it
