GRAZING FEES IN FOREST
RESERVES NOT TO BE RAISED

On account of the abnormal condi-
tions at present, the Secretary of Ag-
riculture has decided that the grazing
fees on national forests shall not be
increased for the next grazing season,
at least. His position in the matter
is outlined in letter to 7. w. Tomlin-
son, secretary of the American Ma
tional Live Stock Association, which
is quoted below:
The further study of the value of
grazing privileges on lands within the
different national forests, referred to
in my letter Of February 1, 1917 has
been made during the past summer
and indicates that in general the fees
charged this year are still below the
real value of the forage. In the mean
time, however, many important events
have taken place in war conditions,
and stockmen have been called upon
to overcome many difficulties in order
to keep up the country's supply of
beef, mutton, hides and wool, not only
for our own use but also to help meet
the needs of the Allies.
In view of this situation | have
decided to defer action in connection
with any further increase in grazing
fees on national forests for the pres
ent Whether the postponment will
continue until the close of the war
cannot now determine, since | have
no way of forecasting probable eco
nomic developments. For the time
being the grazing fees now in force
will be continued, with the exception
cf such minor changes as may seem
advisable to adjust and correlate the
fees between certain forests or
groups of forests.
"ln reference to the issuance of five
or ten-year permits, which will not be
subject to reduction during the period
for which they are issued except for
damage to the ranges or violation OF
their terms, | feel that this is also a
matter which should be allowed to re-
main in abeyance. The demand for
an increase in meat production and
the necessity for stocking the forest
ranges to the extreme limit OF safety
makes he issuance of such permit in
advisable, because with them in force
forest officers would not be al e to
make many readjustments and allot-
ments which the present situation
with reference to meat prodr ction
may require. This matter viii be
kept In mind, however, and 1t will re-
ceive appropriate consideration when
ever the existing conditions seen to
justify action along this line"

MAKES UNIQUE DISCOVERY

warning against an interesting as
we'll as dangerous cause of conflagra-
tion in a garage is sent out by the
school of automobile mechanics of the
Highland Park College of engineering,
Des Moines. An experience in the
shops there developed how much dan
ger is involved.
The engine in an automobile was
connected by a belt with an overhead
shaft by which it was run. The tires
were on the car which insulated it,
and the friction of the belt generated
electricity. student passing the car
leaped high in the air when spark
jumped from a mud guard into his
leg. Experiments showed that it was
easy to get sparks half an inch long
from any part of the automobile. The
gasoline can carried past the car and
coming within half inch of hub
or fender would have been ignited by
the electric spark.
Where automobile motors are pro-
PEELED by belt, wire should be car
ried from some convenient Fart of the
car to water pipe or other ground
connection to carry off the electricity
generated. In all cases great care
should be used not to carry gasoline
cans near such cars while the belt is
in use. Only five to ten minutes were
required to get a fat spark after the
car had been discharged. and a mum
ber of sparks. can be obtained after

The remarkable success of the Velie

caused considerable speculation as to
what changes or improvements, if any,

The exhibit of the new models,
therefore, is of great interest to the
entire fraternity, reflecting as it does
the experience and ideals of one of

Because among the 100000 auto
mobiles built during 1916 there were
probably not more than 10000 of
distinctive type in appearance, finish,
comfort and mechanical quality. Ed
ward S. Jordan, decided there was
big demand for that style of car and
he forthwith started last summer
the manufacturing of the Jordan Lux
ury Car in Cleveland, Ohio. The Jor-
dan exhibit at 100 Market street is
one of the main points of interest for
the automobile enthusiast this year.
The first deliveries of the Jordan
product began as late as August but
during the five months since actual
shipments got under way, the Jordan
has become one of the best known
of the exclusive types of cars now
in the American market. The popu-
larity of this distinctive motor vehicle
has no doubt been enhanced by the
fact that it SELLS at a moderate price
less than s2,500.
McCurdy- -Brainard Co., of Pitts
burgh, of which e. E. Adams is
Sales Manager, have the distribution
of the Jordan Luxury Car for the
Eastern States. The three models on
display at the local showrooms were
this week driven over the mountains
from Pittsburgh. These models in
clude a four passenger, a two-pass-
