Lenle- Kore-t Service Is Inimical to
AYe&tern Sheepmen, but Says
That the Small Settler Has
Flrrt Claim to Aid.
OREGO.VIAN NEWS RT'REAU. Wash
ington. D 2P. The a&titude of the
Forest Service toward the sheep men of
the West is clearly outlined in a letter
written by Forester Pinchot to the editor
of an Idaho paper, under date of De
cember 14. Some of the large sheep men
of Idaho have been assailing the Forest
Service for its manner of regulating the
ranges in the National forests of the
state, and the Service has taken the po
sition that these ranges must be so reg
ulated as to do the greatest good to the
greatest number: the interest of the small
omner being always paramount to the in
terest of the owner of an abnormally
Urge flock. In his letter Mr. Pinchot
nays:
"We have tried h;ird to avoid any in
jury to special business interests in the
country where the National Forests lie.
The stockmen have been given hearty
invitations to take part in the work, and
to assist in bringing about any neces
sary changes in the use of the ranges.
In many localities they have organized
and through their advisory boards, have
worked harmoniously with the Forest
Service in the settlement of Important
range matters, and to further the gen
eral Interests of the public.
"The Forest Service holds that its
first duty Is everywhere and always to
look after the bona fide small settler
first. This principle is probably respon
sible for many of the difficulties between
the Forest .Service and the large sheep
men. Kvery good citizen wants the West
to develop. Development Is the result of
settlement, and the settler is a small
man. 1 would rather have a range di
vided among ten small owners, each
making a living for his family than to
have It occupied by one large owner
making a profit for himself from the use
pf the public lands. In the old days
of the open range, it was the small man
who gave way to the big man. On the
National Forests today It Is the big man
who must give way to the small man.
Of course. I recognize that the large
owner Is entitled to protection: and I
do not propose to reduce the number of
stock he may graze, except when it be
comes necessary to stop damage to the
range, or to make room for tho bona
fide settlement of the country.
" When there were no restrictions what
ever, rr sheepmen overgrazed the ranges.
In many regions they were rapidly
driving themselves out of business. When
the first National Forests were created
there was a general protest from the
sheepmen because they were afraid of
losing the range. But in a compara
tively short time the mnjorlty of them
came to realize that the regulation of
grazing upon the National Forest ranges
was good for their business, and very
many of them are now glad that the Gov
ernment stepped in and saved their In
3ustry by doing for them what they
could not do for themselves.
"If I had listened to all the protests
from Irrigation and other interests. It
would have been easy to cut the number
Df sheep on the National Forests in half
during the last four years. If that had
been done public opinion would have
stood with the irrigator and not with the
sheepmen. I have known sheepmen who
seem to feel a sense of personal Injury
if a single spear of grass gets away
from them, and I have known Irrigators
who wanted every sheep kept off their
watershed whether they were doing In
jury or not. Neither was right. There
are large areas within the National For
ests which are well adapted to sheep
grazing, and should be used for that pur
pose. Important Irrigation interests are
also dependent upon the water supply
of streams which have their sources
within these areas. If In doing so it
fails to give the sheepmen all he wants.
It will be because he wants more than
can be given him In fairness to the Irri
gator. "I am not ready to believe that a ma
jority of the sheepmen of Idaho, or of
the Westare out of sympathy with these
principles. On the contrary. I know per
sonally that large numbers, and I be
lieve a large majority of the Western
sheepmen, are broadminded enough to
realize that when the general needs of
the people conflict with their special in
terests, the general welfare must pre
vail. They understand that what the
Forest Service is trying to do is to pro
tect their industry, not to destroy it.
'The worst enemy of the reasonable
sheepmen is the sheepman who demands
too much. If certain sheepmen insist
that their interests must be recognized,
no matter who suffers, they will brlns?
on a conflict which the Forest Service
has been doing its best to avoid. I
mean the- final struggle between sheep
grazing on the one side and irrigation,
settlement, and the general development
of the West on the other. If such a
struggle should arise, no man familiar
with the West and its possibilities will
doubt on which side the public Interest
lies, and which side will win."

TEACHING BIRDS TRICKS
iLove" Birds and Japanese Xun
Choice Cage Occupants.
New York Herald.
Every one who has had a pet animal
of any description knows what a source
of pleasure and interest it becomes and
how. even if somewhat irksome at times,
the care bestowed upon the little creature
is more than compensated for by the
pleasure of its affection and devotion.
This is true not only of the better-known
household pets, such as dogs and cats,
but more especially is it the case with
birds of all varieties, which from their
very helplessness In their artificial sur
roundings are more entirely dependent on
our personal care and attention. For
this reason birds are always more diffi
cult pets, and many people have an idea
that they are extremely delicate and
hard to raise, and a part from the ever
popular canary the various varieties of
birds are not so much in demand, par
ticularly with young people. The Idea,
however, is an erroneous one, as almost
all birds, if properly cared for and given
plenty of light and fresh, wholesome
food, are not at all difficult to care for,
and will amply repay the slight atten
tion. It Is Interesting to see how many va
rieties of birds can be found In the ordi
nary bird fanciers" shops, and a well
known dealer, when questioned on the
subject of training the numerous, small
birds, such as finches. linnets and the so
called fancy birds, said decisively that the
trouble of teaching biro's was not due to
their lack of Intelligence, but to the Im
patience of their teachers. In this cate
gory of trick birds he did not include the
well-known talking varieties, such aa
parrots, cockatoos and the starling fam
ily but the more ordinary species which
we have mentioned, and the canaries,
bullfinches, goldfinches and linnets,
which are all very responsive and capa
ble or being taught many tricks. In this
Instance may be mentioned a little canary
who literally works for his daily bread
and water, as he draws up the bucket of
water when he wishes to drink, and by
standing on an Inclined plane he propels
a tiny wagonful of seed toward him when
he is hungry. This and many other tricks
can be taught the tiny creatures, and it
is interesting to se how responsive they
are to the human hand and voice.
A visit to a well-known dealer revealed
a number of Interesting birds which as a
rule are only used as pets by people who
are extremely fond of birds and who col
lect them in aviaries. Some of these
birds are extremely rare and very high
priced, among which may be mentioned
the strange variety of talking birds which
comes from India and Is known as the
mino or mynah, or spirit bird, as, ac
cording to an Indian superstition, the
spirit of some departed human being has
returned to earth in the guise of a bird.
These birds may be taught to say various
things and their voice is unlike a par
rot's, with rather a clear, bell-like qual
ity which has an uncanny sound as It
Issues from the birds throat. These
birds must be trained very young and
are. of course, extremely valuable and
expensive. In this class also Is the ma
caw, whose gaily colored plumage is very
familiar to most of us this season, as it
ornaments the hats of the milliners' lat
est creations.
A specimen shown of Australian
birds, called a cockatello. Is a small
grav bird about the size of the paro
quet or slightly larger. He is an ex
tremely neat and attractive bird, as
the catalogue describes him, and his
plumage of dark gray with a fashion
able white ermine trimming to his
wings, sets off his little yellow face,
with its green crest and a dash of
orange red on his cheeks, to perfec
tion. This small creature whistles and
sings and can be taught various tricks
and is most attractive as a pet. Other
sm.-i.ll birds which are known as love
birds, from their propensity for billing
and cooing, are a species of paroquets
with long tails and yellow heads, and
are also known as fortune-telling birds,
and are sold on the streets sometimes
in pairs. Many of the smaller birds,
such as the African finches, the Java
sparrows and others, can be placed in
a cage together, and they are a great
source of interest and pleasure.
Among these Is another variety of
birds known as the Japanese nuns, or
manaklns. and which, like the finches,
are excellent cage birds, owing to
their handsome colors and shading.
Finches and nuns, like canaries, are
brtd in confinement and are the best
known domesticated pets, while there
are countless curious specimens of
aviary birds, such as paradise whyda.
the Madagascar weaver and the troop
ial. which can all be made interesting
pets and taugat many tricks.
As bird3, l1te human beings, are very
fond of overeating, you must be very
careful to avoid the troubles which
will come from this propensity. For
the ever popular canary bird, who is.
like tne poor, "always with us." and
whose sweet little song and cheerful
little presence beguile many a weary
hour, care and attention to food and
diet will keep him in good condition
for many years, but even with this
household pet the proper seed Is not
always used. The best results shown
in the celebrated German canaries from
the Harz Mountains, which are fed ex
clusively on rape seed, are not obtained
by our promiscuous feeding. Great care
should be taken with all birds to keep
their caies clean and their food and
water fresh, while the cage should be
nung In a well ventilated place, where
plenty of air and sunshine may be obtained.
STREETCARS IN COLLISION
Misunderstanding Between Motor

Room In Matthicsen Hotel Fnlered
and Many Valuable Watches and
Other Jewelry Taken During
Owner's Absence. ,
Four thousand dollars' worth of jewel
ry was stolen from the room of O. L.
Holgate, a jewelry salesman, late last
night in the Hotel Matthiesen, corner
of Front and Madison streets. The rob
bery is mysterious and so far has baf
fled the police, who are unable to find
a clew. The loot consisted of 205
watches, some of them of good quality,
150 rings, a portion of which were also
of fine quality, and an assortment of
knives, razors, watch fobs, chains and
other articles.
Circumstances surrounding the robbery
indicate that some one knew the nature
of Holgate's business and was watching
an opportunity , to rob him. The crime
was mommitted during Holgate's absence
from his room. It was nearly midnight
when he went out to a nearby restaurant.
When he returned he found that his room
had been entered and his sample cases
had been broken open and their contents
looted. Virtually nothing of .his entire
stock was left.
The hotel people say that no one was
noticed coming in or going out at this
time, and the police believe that the per
son who stole the Jewelry had a room in
the same building. The alarm was- given
at once and Captain Slover sent Detec
tives Tennant. Johnson and Amundson
to make an investigation.
Holgate is in business for himself and
travels In and out of Portland to the Ore
gon and Washington lumber camps. He
was unable to estimate his exact loss
last night, but said that it would be close
to WOO). Among the missing watches are
one 17-Jewel Paillard. one IT-jewel Rock
ford, two 23-Jewel special railroad Hamil
tons. one 21-jewel Waltham. 12 21-Jewel
Hamiltons and one 19-jewel 'Elgin.
His room, number 504, -was entered by
a pass key. It had been locked by Hol
gate when he went out and was standing
open when he returned. The thieves se
cured the largest amount of loot In jew
elry, which has been stolen in one robbery
in Portland for years.
Holgate was almost distracted last night
over his loss. He has a partner in the
business, who is at present out on a trip
through the camps, and he is unable to
give the police an itemized list of all
that was taken until he has communi
cated with his partner.
He says he was not gone from his room
more than ten minutes.
SPOKANE THUGS ARE BOLD
Hold Vp and Rob Store Proprietors
Xear Police Station.
SPOKANE, Wash., Dec. 24. (Special.)
Within two blocks of and on the same
street as the Police Station, while scores
of Christmas Blioppers were passing, two
desperate, masked thugs held up a gro
cery store tonight at 10 o'clock, severely
Injured an employe and robbed the till.
Proprietor Henry Rugge says he was
about to close for the night when the
thugs entered with guns in hand. At
the command, "hands up," Rugge ran to
the rear, hid behind a barrel and shouted
for help. The older of the men grabbed
Rugge, the other grabbed the butcher
who workes in the store, stood the pris
oners back to back and bound their hands
with electric light wires torn from the
walls. They beat the butcher, Henry
Dohm, over the head with a gun. Both
men were then fastened to the scales be
hind the counter. Rugge's till was robbed
of $30 and Dohm lost $W.
The method of robbery is similar to that
of last week, when S. Katzenslen, a
North Side grocer, his clerk and a small
boy In the store were terrorized and the
till ransacked, many pedestrians mean
while passing the darkened store.
TWO HOUSES ARE ENTERED
Portsmouth Residences Appeal to
Burglars, IVho Get Little.
Two burglaries committed in residences
but a few yards apart in Portsmouth
early yesterday morning, and apparently
by the same thieves, were reported to the
police last night. The first of these vic
tims was Mrs. M. Alvey, of 261 Ains
worth avenue. The burglars entered the
house by removing a pane of glass from
one of the side windows. A pearl and
jet breastpin and several boxes of Christ
mas candy were taken.
The second victim was J. C. Martin, of
278 Ainsworth avenue. Here the night
prowlers entered through the kitchen
door, which they forced. After visiting
the larder and enjoying a meal while the
family slept, they quietly ransacked the
house, stealing some clothing and a pair
of gold cuff buttons. .

STOCKTON, Cal., Dec. 24. Four boys,
all under 15 years of age, today attempted
a sacrifice of the fifth member of their
crowd by placing rubbish about him and

No Longer Resembles
Handsome Sheriff.
Uwrrr Ha Beard Removed When
Friend of "Bob" Stevens, by I'M
of Flattery, Shake Him Down for
Price of Two Drinks.
SHERIFF R. L STEVENS wears
whiskers, a full beard; and so did.
until yesterday. Attorney George S.
Shepherd, late candidate for Congress.
Each, has often been mistaken for the
other, the beard adding to the resem
blance. Mr. Shepherd yesterday ordered
the barber to remove his hirsute adorn
ment, and later in the afternoon met
the Sheriff on the streets.
"Hello, Bob," said the ex-Councilman,
regatta-admiral, candidate for Congress
and attorney, "I will never be taken for
you again. It doesn't pay. I got this
shave to save money by not looking Uke
you or being taken for you.
"I had an experience at the Court
house this morning that caused me to
decide to have my beard removed. As
I was coming down the Courthouse
steps tills morning I met a thirsty friend
of yours. I didn't know him, but he
thought he knew me; stuck out his
hand, and said, "Hello, Bob.' I said,
'Hello,' In reply, and shook hands with
him, and he said, 'I want to congratu
late you on catching the train robbers,
the best piece of work that was ever
done by a Sheriff of this county.' and he
kept handing out that stuff till I grew
suspicious.
"At first I felt that he was a real
friend of yours and was sincere in his
congratulations, but when he spread it
on so thick I knew something was com
ing, and sure enough, he wound up by
saying. 'Let me have 15 cents for a few
moments. I'm out of 'change, and will
give It back ,'but I didn't wait to hear
when he would give It back. I dug down
and Instead of giving him the price of
a drink, gave him the price of two
drinks simply because he had taken me
for the Sheriff. But it will never hap
pen again." i
