PORTLAND, Greg, August 2S.--Big
Bill Hanley, Northwest cattleman, is
not sorry to see the hordes of Summer
tourists flocking back to their native
haunts East and South. While Bill
likes to see people enjoy themselves,
he cannot quite see the idea of the
Government handing over millions of
acres just for amusement, thus de-
priving cattle of good grazing grounds.
Hanley is one of the men behind the
movement of the American Live Stock
Association asking Congress to allow
grazing IN the national forests.
People have herded into cities.
Why chase animals off the ranges
when animals are much more decent
than humans?"

"Pepsinated" CalomeI Acts Better-Does
Not Cramp or Sicken Yet Is More
Effective Than Ordinary CaIomel

Never take another dose of the
old stye "raw" calomel. It is too
drastic on your system!
There is a newer and more i'm.
proved kind that is mild and pleas
ant. 1t does not tear through your
system like a streak of lightning. 1t
is combined with pepsin which
makes it act slowly, thoroughly and
more effectively.
This new pepsin and calomel COM
bination is known as "pepsinated''
calomel. 1t has all the beneficial
system cleaning and germ inactivat-
ing effects of ordinary or "raw''
calomel-but the drastic and I'M
pleasant effects have been entirely
neutralized by the digestion aiding

their bill of complaint that they are
entitled as heirs to properties in the
vicinity of Palm Beach which have
been appraised at approximately
100000. These were acquired
by the political leader in two deals,
the first on October "a, 1910, and
the second on July 81, 1917.
Recital of transactions between
Richard Croker and his wife Alice
Eccleston involving the first tract is
contained in the complaint. Croker
and his wife attempted to transfer
the land to her on November z,
1917, and it was subsequently re-
conveyed to them the complaint set
out. It was declared further in the
bill that there was no consideration
to the transactions.
A portion of the property was
conveyed by three special deeds to
Mrs. Bula Croker. Croker and his
second wife subsequently entered
into a contract with J. B. Mcdonald
authorizing him as agent to sell part
of the properties and turn the pro-
ceeds over to Mrs. Croker. The
complaint sets forth that none of the
properties was sold under this con-
tract, however.
In the contract with Mcdonald
Croker gave him the option of pur-
chasing the property if no sale for
it should develop. After the death

ARIZONA HAS GREATEST PINE
FOREST IN WORLD

Arizona boasts of the largest
uncut pine forest in the world.
This great body of virgin timber
extends for 200 miles all the way
from the Grand Canyon to the
New Mexican line in a south
easterly direction, and is com
posed OF three great national
forest reserves, the Sitgreaves,
Coconino and Tonto. OF these
the Sitgreaves is perhaps the
largest, occupying the Mogollon
plateau. 1t is bounded on the
northwest by the Coconino for
est, on the southwest by the
Tonto and on the southeast by
by the Apache forest.
The Sitgrieves is the only one
of the three forests comprising
the unbroken pine area of Ari
zona where numbering operations
have not been permitted by the
government. The Coconino for
est supplies lumber for the mills
at Flagstaff, Williams and Rior
dan, while the big mill at Nc
Nary draws it's supply from both
the Tonto and the Apache for
ests. However, the government
will let contracts this summer
for the working of one of the
four bnits of the Sitgrieves, for
est, according to information
from Winslow. About 100000,
coo feet of lumber will be sold in
the first lot. While this may
seem to the layman as a terrific
cut in the standing timber of
this great forest, it is but a drop
in the bucket when it is known
that the estimated standing tim .
Der in the Sitgrieves is four bill
lion feet.
Good roads traverse the Sit
greaves forest, the most notable
one being the Pine-Winslow
road. The forests north line is
about 90 miles south of Winslow
and vacationists visiting that
city can find wonderful hunting,
fishing and camping in less than
an hours ride from that point
Countless streams have their
sourse in the Sitgreaves forest
and with the network of good
forest roads it is possible for the
motorist to reach the majority of
them with ease. The quickest
route to the forest is by way of
Roosevelt, Dam, Payson and
Pine.
