GOVERNMENT CAN NOT
BE SUED IN COURT

United States District Attorney
Munley has received word that Judge
C. E. Bunnell, holding court at An
chorage, has sustained the demurrer
of the government in the case brought
by P. R. Strong against the Alaskan
engineering commission, claiming
$1,000 as alleged damages sustained
while working for the commission.
The action is one in court, and was
decided on the same principles of law
as those in the case of Frank Ballaine
against the Alaska Northern railway,
which was decided by the United
States circuit court of appeals of San
Francisco, to the effect that the gov
eminent can not be sued in tort, as
anv claim for damages must be adj
Indicated and allowed by congress
sional action alone.
That the United States attorneys
contention in the above case was
founded on sound principles OF law
is evidenced by the decision OF these
courts, and effectually sets at rest any
future actions for damages against
the government.

Development
OF FORESTS
FORPLEASURE

Announcement is made from the To-
cal office of the forest service that
the demands created by the large
amount of tourist travel in the noun
tains have resulted in the creation of
a separate organization for the eff.
cient administration of this activity.
The functions of the new office are
to promote the development and use
. of the recreational resources of the
national forests, both by the transient
camper and the summer home resi-
dent. Large numbers of camp
grounds will be carefully laid out by
experienced men and improved as to
water supply, sanitation, construction
of fireplaces, picnic tables, roads,
archways and trails into the adjacent
forests. Summer home sites are in
increasing demand in the national for
ests, and many localities will be care
fully laid out on the ground with due
regard to their natural advantages and
to their desirability as to building
sites for the erection of summer
homes. National forest roads and
trails will be located to take advan-
tage of the natural beauty of the sur
prominent scenic areas. Pamphlets
of valuable information to the camper,
similar to the recent publication which
has been issued-"Vacatio Land :
The National Forests in Oregon
will be published.
This work for the states of Oregon
and Washington will be directed from
Portland. Five of the more expert
enced men have been assigned to it
c. ]. Buck, assistant district forester;
A. G. Jackson, recreatiOnal informa-
ton; F. w. Cleator surveys and plans
for summer home sites and larger
camp grounds w. G. Paeth, recrea-
tion pamphlets and plans for develop,
ment of Columbia Gorge region; and
T. NJ Talbot recreational information
and lectures. The new office finds a
large field for it's activities. Camp
ground work on which the forest serv,
ice is engaged appears to have proved
not only immensely popular with the
travelling public in rendering more en-,
jOyable the visits to the forests of
thousands Of vacationists, but to have
partly paid for itself in the decreased
danger from forest fires.
Announcement is made that the for
est service stands ready in recrea-
tional work to cooperate with all
agencies interested in developing the
recreational out-of-dOOrs movement
and increased tourist travel, and viii
furnish information on all phases of
recreational work in the national for
eSts.

RECALL SLEIGHRiDE APR. 27 F. SIXTY YEARS AGO

The unseasouably cold weather of the last few days recalls to 2, Norwich woman an incident of 50 years ago. On April 27tll, 1859, there was in the early morning 8 coating of snow from six to eight inches deep. as level as frosting on a sponge cake. Long be- fore sunrise mother called up the stairs: Hurry up and dress and you can have 9 sleignride."
 4 second call was not necessary When we had gotten ourselves into warm wraps the big double sleigh was at the door,. We. younger ones were
 seated first until the sleigh vas full.
 Then to the music Of old fashioned
 sleighbells we rode around the Front
 lot" six acre tract level as a floor, out into the south field," 15 acre tract, and, around 1t, by the hig bank Where the point projects into the
 sound (1low lined with summer cot tages), then back for the rest of the household to 30 oyer the course. i By that time it was sunrise and the
 snow began to melt. At noon with a soft wind. and bright sunshine no trace hoi snow was to be seen--the grassy fields over which we had glided show ing green like our lawns today. Of tfie~l4 persons who too.z that ride |.only three are now living. Four of tbe number answered the ,country's call irl /! the Civil war--one. never to return
 Even the span or grays went to do their part in that time of need. and
 when one of the party saw them at Fortress Monroe later and called them 1 by name, they gave an answer to the
 call, knew the home voice and gladly responded.

HUMANE SUNDAY SERMON
 FROM ST. PATR!Ck'S PULPIT

At the high mass in St. Patrick's church, Sunday. Rev. f'eter J. Cunys read Governor Hoicomb's proclarna- tion, urging prompt subscriptions to tine Victory Liberty Loan. Father Cuny preached on the kindness which was predominant in the words, acts and teachings of Christ. His theme was suggested by circular letter to all the Catholic pastors of the dio- cese, in which Bishop Milan wrote: >s Dears5Father:
 His E&cellency. tine Governor. has
 designated April a7th as Humane Sunday" l suggest that you profit by the occasion to impress upon your people, young and old. in whatever words seem best for the purpose, the importance and the
 benefit of kindness towards those who might suffer from cruelty or in-
 difference. Enemies who threatened our well-being and the prosperity of our country. by the help of God, have been rendered poverless to harm us. The preparations for war left little room for the sentiments Of universal s charity; the instinct of self preservation restricted the sphere Of brotherly love.
 Now that the war Is ended, the song of hate should be hushed; StIUulQ TSpicCc SuSpiCtOL anu ueigbors learn to appreciate the blessings of peace. But peace can not be kept without kindness, and l kindness will not last without for bearance and a desire to see things from the view point of others. Says l.ti,e, great Bossuet: When God made | the heart. of man. His first gift to 1 it was kindness" When the Son of God was made in our likeness and | in habit found as man." the char
 acteristic most noticeable in His life
 was not power. it was not justice or wisdom, it Mas kindness. -. t. 1
 < Let kindness be more among us than 8 vague impression of some | thing that is good. provided it comes Leasy,; it Is a word formed by the lips of God to express what is best
 in this life and is the key to the life
 which Is to come. It creates q bond
 of fellowship between the strong
 and the weak, it gives to outward | appearance 8 charm which attracts the reflection of the goodness of God upon the human corntenance. Kind
 ness should be taught to children by
 word and by the object lesson ot kindness in their elders. The child who refrains from cruelty tc animals will be less apt to be un- kind to other children or to give pain to parents and teachers. T. lavish upon beasts tEat affection which belongs to beings made to tht image of Cod is species of de i generacy. To treat them not as pets i and playthings alone, but as crea lures of God of 8 lower scale anC I one Of His beneficent gifts to men

 love Of God and neighbor. Where fore, brethren. labor the more tha

 BalmWort Tablets contain q powerful extract of corn silk, witch quickly re-
