more accurate in hitting the basket

INDIANS PATROL FORESTS.
With a field force of two assistants,
James Stuart, a Nez Perce Indian, is
establishing an effective forestry bureau
to manage the Indian timber lands on
the Nez Perce reservation in Idaho.
With 32,000 acres scattered over the
reservation, the three men are required
to patrol the forests, prevent tre-passing
and guard the forests from fire. The
field force is' kept busy watching tres
passers and a recent patrol has shown
that timber thieves prey on thn Indian
forests. Ex
