on the recommendation of the
Secretary of Agriculture, based
on a field classification by the
Forest Service, the President has
issued a proclamation by which
40, 100 acres are eliminated from
the Crook National Forest, Ari-
iona. The largest single area
involved is a tract of over Is, 900
acres in the vicinity of Globe,
Miami, and CobreValle, Arizona,
By the same proclamation num-
Der of areas along the present
boundary of the Forest, totaling
-, $50 acres, are included in it.
The land eliminated is in the

ing district. A large part of the
surface is covered by mining
locations. There is practically
no forest cover and the land has
no value as watershed protec-
ton.

Has 2h-Cent Car Fares

A booster of Dubuque, la, as a place to live won the first prize in the con- test called ''Why I Like My Part of the Country" held by the American Maga- zine, and the winner says
 Now, friend it's a hard thing for me to try to make you believe that we all have jobs in Dubuque and that we keep working and saving. Dubuque didn't know a blessed thing about the panic of 1907 except as she read about it in the papers. We don't have panics out here. Most of our manufacturers the farmers) keeo their plants running night and day the year round. All of which tends to stability and to mental calm. We don't have to go through the hysteria Of high finance every once in awhile, and we are saved from the nervous spasms caused by industrial Impressions.
 Another thing that isn't of great moment to those who are propelled by gasoline, but that means much to most of us is our two and one-half-cent morn- ing and night street car fare. A work man may live four miles from his job on the edge of the city, where he keeps cows and chickens and raises small gar den truck, and spend but cents daily for transportation. The low street car fare makes all factories. all locations access sible to every part of the city. It is an item that Is never overlooked by manu- facturers."

Story IS Told How Greeks
 AnQthen7dtized VenizelOS
Foreign Diplomat Discusses Strange Ceremony Which Took Place When Head of Church Con- ducted Rites of Execration Against For mer Premier Following His Course
 in Recent Crisis

athena was pronounced against NJ. Ve- nizelos. former Greek premier. This re- port says:
 The following is a brief account of what took place at the ceremony of the pronunciation of anathema against Ve- nizelos, derived partly from the descrip- tons appearing in the Athens press (which is now entirely royalisD and partly from information gathered by two members of my staff who were in Athens for short time yesterday afternoon, to- gether with some further observations on the reasons which prompted the royalists to this action and the support which they expect to derive therefrom.
 ''The ceremony took place at the Polygion in the Cramps de Mars on AL exandra avenue. The police had ordered all shops to be closed from 2:SO to 5 o'clock and attachments of infantry and mounted gendarmes patrolled the streets. But as there was not likely to be any, thing in the nature of disorder this pa trolling must have been intended rather as a terrorist measure; similarly in the days of the Skulludhis government the streets were strongly patrolled to in- timidate the people. People began to col feet at the scene of the ceremony from 2 o'clock and the crowd was very large. The papers allege that it numbered be- tween 100000 and 10000 people, but neu- tral and impartial observers Gncluding the military attache of the American le- gation) do not think 1t can have exceeded
