railroad properties.
The land was not used as a right
of way for the railroad. but as a
bonus for building the line. Up to
1917 the railroad had sold enough OF
these lands to realize $136, 1000, 600
from them. 1t is still selling them,
and has hardly scratched the great
wealth represented by them.
The Federal forest department has
| taken steps to have these lands with
held from the railroad until some
plan can be worked out whereby
those that lie in what are now ma
tional forests can be exchanged for
those lying outside.
AS 1T stands now, the Forest Service
says that "the threatened inroad upon
the national forests is the most seri-
GUS that has menaced them since their
creation, and nothing short of a com
prehensive inquiry by Congress with
an opportunity to pass legislation be-
fore these lands are lost to the Gov
ernment will suffice to protect the
public interest involved"
1t is also said in some quarters by
investigators that thu railroad has
not entirely fulfilled it's side of the
agreement. In fact, the Forest Serv-
Ice careful az it is in its statements
as all Government bureaus must be.
says in discussing the case:
After a very extended study of the
history and operations of the North
ern Pacific grant, the service believes
that the Government should not turn

are alert, and see there is no chance
of getting the man going home, they
can often throw to third and retire
a long distance hitter who has slowed
up momentarily, thinking the play Is
| sure to be made at the plate. This
can often be worked where there is
not good coach on the third base
| line.
| If the shortstop is covering second
on a throw from the outfeld be sure
to back him up. 1t is wise to take a
place about 10 feet back of him in
line with the throw. If the ball is
high, bit wide or takes a bad bound,
| you are in a position to keep a run
ner, or runners, from taking an extra
base.
These may appear as little things,
but they are points of the position
which all youngsters should bear in
mind. Combined they go to make up
| the finished product. Attention to the
details of second base, and all other
positions on team, pays big divi-
dends. Frequently neglect of the lit
tie things loses games
I The youngster who takes the duties
of the position seriously will do we'll
to keep hustling and on the move.
He can't be of much help by standing
| around watching plays. Think what
play will be the proper one for you
to make if the ball should be hit in
your direction. Then you will know
| just what to do when the time comes
! to get into action. You can't get ef-
| fective results by deciding what to do
after the ball is in your hands. A
/ stitch in time saves nine" with a
second baseman
The youngster who isn't afraid of
work on ball field is the one to
| play second base, or shortstop for
that matter. You will get plenty of
action in either position.
