' " " ' 'V '-'-?' - y P'-.' This is the latest one of many agreements - of this kind. According to the figures' of the forest service there are nearly 1200 cities and towns in the west,1 including this' city, which derive their water supply from lands ' within ' the: ' national - ; forests. Where these cities desire it the gov-j ernment joins hands with the citizens for the purpose- of maintaining a per manent and pure water supply. : ';- ,; ' Stock raising, for example, or any other occupancy of tho land,- which ordinarily - would be encouraged, would be inadvisable on a watershed which forms a source 'of -; drinking water. The forest services, recognizes that water.. is as --necessary a com modity for wooded hill. sides to sup ply, as are saw logs 'or .'mine props A watershed area may offer an op portunity to furnish .the ! greatest benefit to the largest number through supplying ; an .. unpolluted . source of water for; domestic purposes. Tho co-operative agreement in each case provides that the land may not be used without approval by the town, except for. the protection and care of the forests. The government agrees to extend and improve the forests by seeding, planting, and forest manage ment, so far as the funds for that purpose are available. ; The city, for its part, assists by paying the salar ies of the additional guards necessary to carry out .the agreement, and con tracts to bear the greater part of the cost of any improvement work which it considers immediately desirable. - LOSES : CASE ;-''"',;'..';,;."T.,-V '!-..'-".''.','t''.''...i,'" JURY, FINDS , FOR THE DEFEND--.Hi- ANT THIS MORNING.

Among the many interesting bits of history which are Included in .."Old Homes of New Americans." Dr. Fran cis B. Clafk's study of the original life and surroundings of our lmmt- grants, is a brief account of the tradl--I tional origin of the Huns and Magyars. According to this . story, ; Nimrod, grandson of Noah, was tbe founder of therace. His wife, Eneh, bore him two sons, Hunyor and Magyar. ' These two brothers who were great hunters like their father, who has given his name to every expert User of the ar row, spear and gun since his day while chasing a doe In the forests of the Caucasus, were led to move west ward and found a country rich In fer tile meadows and green fields.' The doe vanished from before their eyes, for she had evidently been In vented by the mythmakera to lead the brothers Into their new domain, and aft erward, we are told, the progeny of Hunyor settled beyond the Volga, while the sons and grandsons of Mugyar set tled about the river.
