SHEPHERD BECAME A PRINCE
kmlr Felsai Of Arabia Seemed an Al
together Negligible Object in His
Early Life.

Emir Felsal of Arabia began life as
dirty little shepherd boy. His moth
er was an Arabian girl of Mecca and
a cousin OF his father. When Feisal
was still baby Shereef Husseln sent
him into the desert to live with
Bedouln tribe, because It Is considered
more wholesome for boy to grow
up In the open desert country than In
a city or village. In Constantinople
Feisal contracted consumption, writes
Lowell Thomas In Asia, but since then
the desert has taken 1t out Of him, al
though he is still very thin and has a
waist only 81 inches In circumference.
He smokes cigarettes day and night
and eats sparingly. Among the tribes
he is celebrated as an unusually fine
shot and n good horseman and camel
rider. Felsal is enlightened and thor
oughly modern in his views. His peo-
pie follow him, not through fear but
because they love him. He is much
too kind and liberal-minded to rule
as an oriental despot Of the old school
and he may be depended upon TO usher
In an entirely new order Of things for
his people.

USED BY ANCIENT PHYSICIAN
Graeco-Roman Medical and Surgical
instruments Of Bronze Now In
Johns Hopkins University.

William II. Buckler, who served on
the STAFF Of the American embassy I'm
London during the war, has presented
70 the Archeologist museum of Johns
Hopkins university. Of which he was a
former trustee, a set of ancient Graeco-
Roman medical and surgical instru-
ments found two years ago near Kolo-
phon, In Asia Minor.
The collection was on exhibition In
London and was formerly in the pos
session of the late Alfred o. Van Len
nep Dutch vice consul in Smyrna, who
owned a large estate near Kolophon
and was well acquainted with the ex-
cavations and discoveries in that vi
clnity.
The instruments, SO in number, are
all of bronze, with but one exception.
They were probably the property Of
some Roman physician living in Asia
Minor in the first or second century A.
D., and the fact that they were all
found In one place Is doubtless ex.
planned, In the opinion Of experts, by
the ancient custom of burying n per-
sons worldly possessions with him.
The set includes surgical knives and
elevators, forceps, tenacula (sharp
hooks), n unique drill bow, for use in
Injuries and diseases of the skull,
scoops, probes and a cautery.
The drill bow is, from the point of
view Of the archeologist, perhaps the
most interesting object. 1t is like
tool used by carpenters.

TIMPANooos TRAIL FUND

Announcement was made Monday
at the Salt Lake offices OF the
Wasatch national forest, United
States department of forestry, that
the $1,000 lacking to complete the
Timpanogos trail had been furnished
by the government and the work
would be pushed as rapidly as
practicable.
The Timpanogos trail extends from
Community fiat, In the south fork Of
American Fork canyon, to the sum-
init OF the famous mountain peak.
Three thousand dollars have been ex.
pended on the grade and the addi-
, tional $1,000 will finish the work.
which will require about thirty days.
SO great Is the interest manifested
in ascending Timpanogos that II is
stated 80 per cent more individuals
have made the trip this season than
In any other year. Moving pictures
OF climbers on the noted glacier were
taken only a few days ago and are
now on exhibition at a Salt Lake

State Tax Beard
MeaFs County
Commissioners

Joseph Reece, r. d. Wadley and II.
+. Thomas, commissioners of Utah
county, registered complaint before
the state board of equalization Tues.
day, asserting that their taxes had
been enormously increased It was
found, however, that large measure
of the increase was due to an error
on the part OF an employee Of Utah
county, who had listed 700 more cattle
than actually we're owned in the
county.
After correction of this error the as
sessed valuation per head for cattle
was still SAL, while the average for
the state is $35. Attention was call
ed by the delegation to the fact that
a large reduction had been made in
Salt Lake county taxes, but that in
Utah county they had been increased
one and three quarter millions. The
commissioners also claimed that
sheep in Utah county had been listed
too high. though while they had listed
their sheep at SIC per head, the aver
age price throughout the state was
$40.
Claims OF the commissioners will be
taken under advlsement by the board
with a view to making a satisfactory
adjustment.

About Excess Grazing.

A forest Service bulletin issued ON
Monday of this week says:
Frequently, after a permit has been
issued on an .on-and-off" basis the
holder of the permit will turn addition
al stock on the range unit, but outside
OF the forest, which have the same
brand or mark as the permitted stock.
This, then, Immediately increases the
basis for which the "on-and-off per-
init was given, and in order to prove
3 trespass. forces the service to make
an accurate of all animals on the
forest. which is frequently a very diff
cult thing TO do. 1t is felt that the per.
naittee, having secured his permit on an
~"on-and-off' basis for n certain agreed
and acknowledged number of stock.
should moi be granted a continuation of
the permit if he violates this tacit
agreement by turning on to the range
additional stock, or by having more
stock on the range than he states in his
application. We practically make this
understanding as to the total number of
stock involved a part of his application
agreement and permit requirements.
, 1920-05-27

The following clause. which is self-ex-
p%lanatory, has been incorporated in all
'on-and-Off" permits where the number
of stock owned is in excess of the per-
mitted number:
1T is further understood and agreed
that if he permittee allows "A greater
number of stock belonging to him than
is herein provided for to Craze upon
the foregoing range unit of which the
national forest is Il part during the per-
iod his permit is in effect. the ON
and-off' clause shall Immediately be-
come null and void, and the grazing
upon national forest lands of a number
of stock in excess of that upon which
grazing fees have been paid shall be
considered as "A grazing trespass and
treated accordingly"
