morning lor tne purpose o, cecu..
the board of directors also developed,

as follows:

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

in the project is of such a decided
character that all question of financ

GUARD THE FORESTS
Arrangements Are Made for
New Districts
IN STATE OF WASHINGTON
President Roosevelt Has Just Signed
Executive Orders Making Import
ant Changes in Boundaries of Na
tional Forests Interesting Fact.
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

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-

area of 1.378,569 acres, It is located

will be administered by Supervisor

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

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.
