TACOMA, Wash., Feb. 18. (Special.)
Nonunion firemen are now employed on
all the tugs of the Puget Sound Tugboat

UPHOLDS PINCHOT'S POWER
Appeal Court Says He May Regulate
Grazing in National Forests.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 18. There Is Joy in the For
est Service over- the action of the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals at San
Francisco in affirming the decision of
Judge Hunt, of Montana, which holds in
effect that the Forest Service has the
right to regulate grazing within National
forests, and can impose penalties upon
stock-owners who graze their sheep or
cattle -within reserves wthout permission
of the department.
There have been decisions in the lower
courts both sustaining and reversing the
action of the Forest Service in this mat
ter, but the question has never reached
the United States Supreme Court, and un
til it Is finally passed upon by that body
it will not be definitely known what the
authority of the department really is. In
the-meantime the Forest Service is pro
ceeding on the assumption that It Is
acting within Its legal right in regulating
grazing in the National forests, and it is
greatly strengthened in this assumption
by the decision referred to above. The
facts of the Montana case era substan
tially as follows:
In December, 1904, Thomas Shannon, a
Montana cattleman, allowed his cattle to
drift upon the Little Belt National for
est, without getting permission from the
forest Service. Suit was brought against
him by the District Attorney for Mon
tana, and on March 18, 1907, Judge Hunt,
in the United States Circuit Court for
Montana, rendered a decision in favor of
the Government and issued an injunction
perpetually restraining Mr. Shannon from
allowing his cattle to drift upon the
National forests.
'Montana has a fence law by which land
owners must fence their land before they
can obtain redress from stockmen whose
cattle, feeding upon the open public do
main, range upon and Injure the private
lands. Mr. Shannon's counsel argued that
this state law should apply as against the
United States, tout Judge Hunt held that
the power of Congress over the public
lands, including the National forests. Is
complete; that Congress has lawfully
delegated to the Secretary of Agriculture
the authority to make regulations to pro
tect the forests; that the Secretary has
properly made a regulation that cattle
shall not range upon the forests without
permit, and that consequently Mr. Shan
non was a trespasser whn he allowed his
cattle to drift upon the Little Belt forest,
although it was unfenced.
Mr. Shannon appealed to the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Ninth Circuit, at San Francisco. .The
court has affirmed Judge Hunt's decision,
and this Judgment Is binding upon all
LFederal courts in the Ninth circuit. A
similar case is pending in the United
States Circuit Court for Colorado, which
is In the Eighth circuit.
The decision at San Francisco upholds
the department regulations governing
grazing in National forests in Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, as well as In
Montana, and unless reversed by the
United States Supreme Court," the regula
tions of the Forest Service will stand.
For the time being they are in full force
and effect, as the ruling handed down at
San Francisco Is from the highest court
having Jurisdiction, to which appeal has
thus far been taken.
Tomorrow, Thursday, will positively be
the last day for discount on East Side
gas bills. Portland Gas Company.

and cement, absorb about 6 per cent of their

OREGON HAS CATTLE
Leads Other Northwest States
in Livestock.
WYOMING HAS MOST SHEEP
Tahle Showing Livestock Production
of Three States Compared With
Total Production of Country".
Values of the Industry.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 18. Oregon is the leading
cattle state of the Northwest; in fact, all
lines combined, it is the leading live stock
state of that section. It has less sheep
than Idaho; fewer horses and mules than
Washington, but is far ahead in its .ag
gregate, as far as values are concerned.
This is shown by a table of statistics pre
pared by the Department of Agriculture,
and made public In the Crop 'Reporter for
November.
The tqtal live stock in Oregon on Janu
ary 1, 190S, was valued at $57,739,000: in
Washington, J4S.1S8.O0O. and in Idaho,
J.13,107,000. A closer study of the tables
shows the details on which these totals
are compiled.
The following table shows the number
and value of all kinds of live stock on the
first of the current year;

Oregon Leads in. Cattle.
It is apparent from the foregoing figures
that Oregon leads In the total number and
value of cattle, other than milch cows
and is also the largest producer of mules
and swine, and while exceeded by Idaho
In sheep and by Washington in horses and
milch cows, yet its total number of these
classes Is so large as to bring- Its total
above that of the adjoining states. Idaho
Is far and away the largest sheep state,
but this Is the only branch of the live
stock Industry in which it ranks Oregon
and Washington.
The department table gives the average
values of all classes of livestock for the
United States, and It is observed by com
parison that in practically everything
except sheep, the Northwest is well above
the average. The average price of sheep
for the entire United States is $3.88 per
head; higher than the average price In
any 'of the three states named. The
average price of cattle is only $l'i.89, which
Is lower than the averages in those
states. The same holds true of cows,
horses and swine, except in Idaho, where
the average value of horses is well be
low the general average of $93.41. The
mules of the Northwest do not measure
up to the general average price of $107.76
per- head.
Wyoming Leads in Sheep. ,
The report shows tha Wyoming is the
leading sheep state of the West, its herds
numbering 5,8K5,000 at the beginning of the
year. This represents a total value of
$24,423,000. Montana Is a close second and
New Mexico third. Wyoming, by the
way, not only holds the record for number
of sheep, but the average price per head,
$4.15, is close to topnotch.
'Texas Is, of course, the leading cattle
state, reporting on January 1 a total of
7.82S.00O head, at a total valuation of $93.
900.000. Illinois leads in the horse line,
reporting a total of 1.691,000 head, the total
value being given as $170,327,000.
Another interesting facl brought out bv
the report is that swine outnumber all
-other classes of livestock; sheep being
second and cattle third, while in point of
total valuation horses lead, cattle are sec
and and milch cows third. The following
table gives the totals for the United
States:

YOUR FIRST POSITION
Results That Count Rule World, of
Business Effort.
Spare Moments.
The young man accepting his first
position fin da that results are what
count the most in the world of wage
earners, and that the young man who
makes ready promises, and does not
keep them will not be apt to be favored
with an increase or salary when the
personnel of the working force is gone
over to see which of the men In the
employ of the firm are giving efficient
service and deserving of recognition.
The young man must make up his
mind to accept his first position with
one point in view that he will work
all of the time he is on duty during
business hours, and that he will not
allow any portion of the work to lie
neglected. The small tasks, he will find,
accumulate rapidly, which will make
work outside of his regular hours a ne
cessity. When you see a man working
overtime, you can generally surmise
with accuracy that he has wasted his
time during the day. The young man
Avho does not" keep his work strictly
up to the notch will not hold a posi
tion very long.
The young man must learn to so di
vide his work that it will last all
through the day, for he htust remember
one important point keep busy all of
the time! Too much leisure time dur
ing business hours leads to the belief
that there 1 not enough work to Jus
tify keeping a young man on the pay
roll. A safe rule for a young man to fol
low is to secure lght hours' sleep each
and every night of the week, for too
many social engagements, with the con
sequent loss of sleep, make it a physi
cal Impossibility to properly perform
all duties, especially in giving hie em
ployer full value for the salary paid.
Many argue that an employer has no
right to know how his employes spend
their leisure hours. This is not so, for
the employer expects every man to keep
himself in the proper physical condi
tion to do his work in the beet manner
possible.
Punctuality is a good habit for a
young man filling his first position to
cultivate, as It will prove of lasting
benefit to him for aH time to come In
the future To be exactly on the min
ute, not 15 minutes earlier or later,
both of which waste time, should be
the ambition of every young man; in
other words, he must be as "regular as
the clock," to quote a popular expres
sion. A bad habit to fall into is to grumble
all of the time that you are doing too
much work for the salary paid. When
a young man Is hired by a business
house It is a plain business proposition
the duties of the position are fully
explained, and the employe agrees to
do eo much work each day for so much
pay. If the young man agrees to ac
cept the situation, he also agrees to do
the amount of work that belongs to
the position, and if he finds there is too
much work for the pay. he has the
privilege of seeking another situation,
the same as the employer has to get
another man to do the work if he
learns that the young man cannot fill
the position.
LEARNING THE BUSINESS
A Sernron Showing That Most Men
Make Their Own Luck.
(Spare Moments.)
If one attempted to tell some people
who had succeeded in life but indiffer
ently, that the reason they did not do
better was that they did not know their
business, no doubt they would be In
sulted. But the fact remains that a large
proportion of failures in life are due to
Incomplete knowledge of the particular
business each was engaged In.
Why is It that one man does better In
a given line than another? The lazy
man says It Is luck. Some believe It to
be due to a superior mental equipment,
but that cannot be invariably true when
sometimes those who fail are infinitely
brighter mentally than those who suc
ceed. Many a man well equipped men
tally lacks the faculty of putting his tal-'
ents to use. ' There are many reasons,
but none more Important than this:
Some men study their business more
closely and carefully than others, and
act upon what they learn.
Given two men, of equal opportunity
and equal brain power, engaged In the
same line of work. One is In it because
he happened to land there somehow; ho
takes no particular Interest in It beyond
the fact that It gives him his living,
and his ambitions scatter themselves in
vague dreaming about falling into some
thing that will make him quickly rich.
The other is In It because he likes It,
and his ambition takes the definite form
of being a success in it, and doing it
better than others do It. He studies
that business from A to Z, and after he
has its rudiments learned, he studies its
details one by one. Perhaps In one of
these he sees a chance to specialize, and
by giving to that detail his whole energy
and Intellect, to be able to do that par
ticular feature of It better than anybody
else has done it before him. Or. per
haps, by giving himself a deeper knowl
edge of all its details than others have,
he becomes one of its generals, and Is
able to assume a position of command.
The first man fails In that business as
a matter of course. He deserves failure.
He has wasted his talents and his oppor
tunities. If that was not his business,
he should have found out what was, and
in his chosen line have done as the sec
ond man did. The second man." equally
as a matter of course, has succeeded.
He succeeded because he deserved to
succeed, and because he earned success.
Luck! There was no more luck about
it than there would have been had the
choice between success and failure been
plain before them, and one had chosen
success and the other failure. That is
what they chose, and that is what thou
sands of men are choosing every day.
And generally the failures are explain
ing to their friends how lucky the suc
cesses bave been, and how misfortune
and bad luck have haunted their own
footsteps.
- Most men make their own luck.
TRY APPEALS NEAR HOME
Humphrey Bill About Alaska Law
suits Meets California Opposition.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. IS. A lively scrap is looked
for in the House of Representatives if
Speaker Cannon permits Representative
Humphrey to call up his bill providing
that appeals from decisions of the Fed
eral Courts In Alaska may be heard In
Portland. Seattle or San Francisco. Un
der the present law, all such appeals are
heard In San Francisco, and litigants are'
compelled to go there in order to get a
hearing. Because of the long distance.
Alaskans object to tnls requirement, and
it was at their request that Mr. Hum
phrey introduced his bill.
The California delegation is solidly op
posed to the Humphrey bill, but the Ore
gon and Washington delegations and del
egations from several . other Northwest
ern States favor it, and are ready to
meet the California crowd whenever the
bill can be given time for consideration.
The House committee on judiciary;
which favorably reported the bil; states
in its report that there is no direct com
munication between San Francisco and
Alaska, so that the litigant in Alaska,
in order to attend the Court of Appeals
in San Francisco, must pass through
Seattle or Portland, both going and on
his return, and travel about 2000 miles
farther than if the case, were heard at
Seattle or Portland.
A term of Circuit Court -is now held
annually at Portland and at Seattle, and
it would be easy to arrange hearing at
either city on appeals from Alaska. Del
egate Cale, of Alaska, strongly urged
the passage of the Humphrey bill and
informed the Judiciary committee that
the bar, of Alaska was very desirous of
its favorable consideration.
If the bill can be passed through the
House, it is quite probable that Senator
Fulton, being a member of the Judiciary
committee, could secure an early favor-,
able report in the Senate, and the fair
ness of the proposition would likely carry
It through the Senate in short order.
ELK MEAT FOR COUGARS
Pay Bounty to Destroy Latter, Urges
Correspondent.
NECAXTCUM. Or. Feb. 18. CTo th Ed
itor. ) I have read with interest W. L..
Findley's recent letter In The Oregonlan In
regard to our vanishing elk. and heartily
join htm In hia desire to protect the spe
cies, although their perpetuation mean
largely, cougar meat. The cougar, created
for some inscrutable purpose, and furnished
with an Insatiable maw. must eat- and
I think, finds elk meat agrees with him.
No cry is heard from the soft-hearted
for the pen,etuatlcn of the cougar. and yet
for magnificent beauty and splendid power,
he stands unexcelled. He is absolute mon
arch of the forests, and destroys more game,
both elk and deer, than all of the hunters
that Invade the mountains of Oregon. While
only three of the band of 15 elk were shot
by the hunters In the Nehalem Mountains
last Summer, it !s highly probable that one
half of the remainder has since been killed
by cougars. "Wherever deer and elk abound
there Is the lair of the cougar found, and,
lurking on the lonely trails, the crafty cou
gar seldom fails, say during twelve months
of the year, to kill at least 100 deer. All
these but satisfy his maw, while, crafty
cat. he knows no law but hunger's, and he
destroys indiscriminately.
I know nothing of the scheme of creation,
but if an All-Wise Being created the ell for
man's food. I see no harm in eating elk,
and lf I neglect my share while living. I
shall be the loser, for. according to Jonh
Billings, I shall be a long time dead.
A gain, we have chicken-eating parsons
or did have who visit the country members
of their congregations, and nothing but
chicken dumplings will properly fill them.
I am told that. In some neighborhoods,
when the chickens see a plug hat and a
long-tailed coat. thv run mitA saua.uk: a If
a hawk , were In ?ight. They. too. "are
making a stubborn fight" for life but it is
hopeless.
A largre bounty paid for gray wolf and
cougar ecaips will enable the antlered mon
arch to perpetuate his species, regardless
of the few killed by hunters. If the Audu

NEURALGIA
Mr. F. C. Griffith, of Hagers
town, Md. who when market
clerk twenty years ago suffer
ed from neuralgia, praises
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
fo completely curing him. It
toned up his system, enriched
his blood and drove outthe dis
ease germs.
Mr. Griffith recently wrote:
"I highly appreciate your medicine.
I'll say there Is nothing in any other
line of medicine that equals It, and I
wish to cay it emphatically, as I have
tried many. Before I was elected
Market Inspector, 20 years ago, I had
neuralgia which pained me terribly
diagonally across from my heart. The
doctor told me It would be my death.
Well when I was Market Inspector I
concluded I would give your medicine
a trial, and It benefited me so much
that I continued with it. The neuralgia
has been eradicated from ,mv svstem.
and I attribute It all to the use-of
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, which I
recommend to others."
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey
Is an absolutely pure distillation of
malted grain; great care being used
to have every kernel thoroughly
malted, thus destroying the germ
and producing a predigested liquid
food in the form of a malt essence,
which is the most effective tonic stim
ulant and invigorator known to
6cienee; softened by warmth and
moisture its palatability and freedom
from injurious substances render it so
that it can be retained by themost
sensitive stomach.
