F. FERGUSON IS PRESIDENT OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY TO HELP NEW RAILWAY TO SEASIDE. At a meeting of the newly elected directors of the Oregon Coast Rail way Company, the subsidiary organ ization in connection with the Astoria, Seaside & Tillamook Railway Com pany, held yesterday, E. Z. Ferguson was elected president. Other officers were elected as follows: Norris Staples, vice-president; F. L. War ren, secretary, and J. H. Anderson, cashier of the Scandinavian-American Savings Bank, treasurer. The election of officers created con siderate interest, far more in fact than had been anticipated, and the meeting of the stockholders in the morning lor tne purpose o, cecu.. the board of directors also developed, keen interest, as was evidenced by the voting upon the names for the di rectorate. The directors named are as follows: T. L. Ball, H. G. Van Dusen, Alex Gilbett, F. L. Warren, E. Z. Fergu son, Norris Staples, C. S. Brown, J. M. Anderson, P. J. Brix, W. E. Buf fum, and George H. George. A meeting of the new officers will be held today to discuss matters pertaining to the electric line, and from this time on it is expected that the work of advancing the new rail road will proceed with enthusiasm. The stock in the subsidiary concern, it is understood, has been placed without the slightest trouble, though there is a small portion still to be offered. At the meeting of the new officers today the question of letting contracts for the opening up and construction of the road to Seaside will be consid ered. The engineers are at work every day running trial lines over the heights and are now about ready to start their preliminary across country to Seaside. The interest being taken in the project is of such a decided character that all question of financ t"u'"..- ' 1 jng the matter seems to be settled in advance. Steamer Nahcotta leaves O.

WASHINGTON, July 8.-The President has just signed executive orders making important changes in the boundaries of practically all the National Forests in the State of Washington. This is another step in the comprehensive plan of redisrict ing National 1-orcsts in all of the Western states. No addition to the forest area is in volved in the redisricting plan. The object of the work is to equalize the) areas of administrative units and to arrange their boundaries in such a manner as to promote the most prac tical and efficient administration of the Forests. It will enable officers of the Forest Service to give attention to all forest business and further the interests and add to the convenience of stockmen, lumbermen, miners, and other users or settlers in the National Forests. The Washington National Forests which will be affected by this re arrangement arc as follows: The Chelan National Forest will have an area of 2,048,640 acres and will consist of that portion of the Washington National Forest -formerly known as the Washington (East). It is located in Chelan and Okanogan counties. The forest will continc to be administered by Supervisor headauart- - . WaMnatnn. ers at cneian, wasmngiun Approximately 946,880 acres com- prising the southern portion oi me Rainier Forest will form the new Co lumbia National Forest. It is located in Lewis. Cowlitz. Klickitat, Ska- .... . Tl. . mnn a ami Yakima counties. I lie Forest is to be administered by Act ing Supervisor Thos. P. McKenzie with headquarters at Portland, Ore gon. Mr. McKenzie is promoted to this position from Deputy Supervisor of Wcnaha Forest. No change is made in the boundar ies of the Colville Forest, which has an annroximate area of 869,520 acres. located in Okanogan and Ferry coun ties. It will also continue to be ad ministered by Supervisor W. W Cryder, with headquarters at Repub lic. Washington. The Olympic Forest remains with out change and has an approximate area of 1,594,560 acres and is located in Clallam. Chehalis and Mason coun tics, under the administration of Su- oervisor Fred Hansen, with head quarters at Hoodsport, Washington. The Rainier Forest includes the northern part of the old Forest of u: f,-.m. nnd a small Dart of the Washington (W) and will have ap nroximatelv 1.676,160 acres. It is WatPfl in Pierce. Lewis, Skamania, Kittitas, and Yakima counties. This Fm-pt will continue to be adminis tered by Supervisor G. F. Allen, with headquarters at Orting, Washington. Snoqualmie is the appropriate name which has been given the southwest oortion of what was formerly known as the Washington (West), with an area of approximately 1,004,166 acres. It is located in Snohomish and King counties and will be administered by Supervisor Burt P. Kirkland, with headquarters at Seattle, Washington. The Washington Forest will have an area of 1,493,400 acres and will in clude the northern portion of what was formerly called the Washington (West). It is located in Whatcom, Skagit, and Snohomish counties. This Forest is to be administered by Supervisor Charles H. Flory, with headquarters at Ifcllingham, Wash ington. The Wenaha l'orest remains with out change and contains 813,342 acres, and it is located in the States of Wash ington and Oregon. This Forest will continue to be administered by Su pervisor J. M. Schmitz, with head quarters at Walla Walla, Washington. The Forest to be known as the Wenatchce Forest includes the south- TEA Is there a better way to keep the family longer at table, to keep it together? Your grocer returns your money If yon don l Uk Schilling Belt; we pay him eastern part of the former Washing ton Forest and lias an approximate area of 1.378,569 acres, It is located in Chelan and Kittitas counties ami will be administered by Supervisor A. II. Sylvester with headquarters at Leavenworth, Washington. The Forest Service desire to re duce the area of the average admin istrative units to approximately 1,000, 000 acres. This was not possible in all cases, as is shown by the fact that under the plan of redistricting there will be 144 Supervisors in the United States who will administer more than 167,000,000 acres of National Forests, ARE INCREASING TAXES In State of Washington Railways Are Paying A Higt Valuations. OLY.MPIA, Wash,, July 8,-The State Board of Tax Commissioners has fixed the valuation of the operat ing property of the three chief rail roads in this state for taxation pur poses at 60 per cent of the value of such property just found by the State Railway Commission. The roads will therefore, be assessed for this year's taxes on the basis of 60 per cent of the following values: O. R, & N, $16,- 500.000; Great Northern, $59,000,0X1; Northern Pacific, $111,000,000. This 60 per cent for these three roads aggregates a gross assessment of $11,900,000. Similar assessments of, the other railways of the state, also on the 60 per cent basis, will probably swell the total assessment of railroad property this year to $125,1X10,000, as against but $44,000,000 assessment last year. These assessments do not include railroad land grants nor coal mines or wharves or tide lands and other commercial property not used for operating purposes. Under the new law the State Tax Commission fixes values solely on the operating prop erty of the several roads and County Assessors will fix the assessment of the other property just as was done in the past. The tax Commission will at once take up the matter of segregating these assessments into the various classes, and later will certify the assessments to the various counties to be spread on the county tax rolls. BE A FARMER. Now is the time to get a nice farm and settle down. Farmers are divided into two kinds the abandoned and those that want to be. Having secured vour farm, proceed to settle on it as gracefully as possible. To begin with, mortage your property in town, and gather together all avail able resources. Much can'be done with an aband oned farm if one has money and courage enough. First: remove all the superfluous rocks. To do this start a rockery. Whenever, in walk ing over your farm, you notice a bowlder or so loafing around, left over from the heartless old glacial period, with nothing on earth to do but gather moss, pick it up carefully and add it' to the rockery. After a while vou will get into the habit Then, in case you run out of resources you can, with the muscle thus acquir ed, spend the rest of your life in a museum, as a strong man. Second: secure a respectable and even-tempered herd of kine. Kine arc largely used to give milk and to fur nish models for oil painting. Yon can also use them to drive to pasture. Driving a herd of kine to pasture is not only splendid exercise better than golf but it also adds to your sense of the beautiful. Third: keep on hand a stock of hens These delightful companions will be a perpetual source of amusement and nrofit. Accompany them with some chanticleers. As long as they cheer vou bv tLeir presence, you need no alarm clock. There are, of course, many other joys to a farm, which will naturally occur to every one; the old germladen bucket, the green colic apple oi chard, the malaria duck-pond, the hired man who sleeps in the hay mow, : ;d the artistic leaks in the roof where the s-.i.-i comes peeping in at nv.ni on ov.yht days. , But the best thing about a farm is the rest you get. After you've fed the hens, tucked up the kine, sawed wood, unhitched old Dobbin, and locked u after the hired man, you can lie down on your lignum-vitae bed and sleep right through until nearly 3 a. in Success Magazine.

NEW YORK LETTER Gambling of Every Description Closed Tight WILD FOWL AT MANHATTAN Telegraphers Hard Stunt Taking Con- vention News, and Many Other Items of Interest in and About the Mteropolis. NEW YORK, July 8. -Outside of Wall Street and the penny-pitching rings of the newsboys, Mew York stands to-day as barren oi betting possibilities as any v'lliagc in the land. Every one of the gilded gambling houses, every pool room and gaming joint of any description, has been closed tight as a drum, under a sudden streak of survcilance bv the police. Out at the track grass grows rank over the betting ring and dust and cobwebs only occupy most of the seats. An army of disgruntled sports hang idly about the barred doors of the palace of chance or cck some outlet at the baseball bleachers, For the time being the game of fleec ing the piker is dead, the word has gone forth, and the goddess of chance has been chased far away beyond the island. No one can predict to-day just what the outcome of this record restriction will be. The gamblers alternately talk of migrating to other fields of endeavor or going into the allied professions of burglary and strong-arm practice, The only way to take a chance these days is to ride over Brooklyn Bridge or the subway. Right in the heart of Manhattan Island a breeding retreat for wild fowl has been discovered this week. In the absolute seclusion of "Swan Island", a tiny isle on the lower lake of Central l'ark, families of mallard ducks and Canadian geese have estab lished for themselves one of the "sanctuaries" with which the National Association of Audubon Societies is urging all America to save its bird life. With the metropolis rumbling all around them these birds have trustfully nested in the center of the thick foliage of this remote speck of land ami begun to hatch their little broods for migration next fall. How these wild fowl ever happened to lo cate here or how they ever managed to escape the murderous fire in the slates spring shooting is still allowed in a mystery to the ornithologists, The Audubon workers arc watching with interest the future of this confid ing delegation of the dying races of duck.

After solid days and nights of sleep and rest the "old guard" of the press telegraph operators have begun to tumble into town from their strenu ous seige at the Chicago convention. Every man of this picked band of key jogglers is a specialist, highly trained and long experienced. To shoot by code more than a million words a day out over the wires to the ends of the land is a job which calls for seaJ soned veterans, and the men who got away with it have no superiors in the world, Without the loss of a common or the change of a letter, these crack erjack press operators can send 4,(K)0 words of almost illegible copy to the hour. Hour after hour and night on day, this "old guard" has handled at this pace the story of all the big conventions within the memory of the present people of Park Row. They never trip or tire, and their perfor mance is often better worth the tell ing than the tale of some conventions.
