Forest Service Estimates of Big Game

EVELOPMENT and protection 1 of wild life In the national forests is one of the major duties of forest officers, ac-

cording tn Col. W. B. Greeley, chief of the forest service, speaking before the Biological society at the Cosmos club. Over 515,000 head of big game animals are to be found in the 147 na- : tional forests. Colonel Greeley stated, of which 440,000 are deer, 48.500 are elk, 12,000 are Rocky mountain sheep, 10.500 are mountain goats and 4,500 are moose. These are cheering figures, hut a- - good many people are frankly skeptical. The skeptics say that nearly all ? the remaining elk are in Yellowstone ■ National park, possibly 15,000; that I nearly all the Rocky mountain sheep are in Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone, Glacier and Mount McKinley National parks; that the mountain goats are in Glacier and McKinley National parks, and that the moose are In Yellowstone and Mount McKinley National parks. The national parks are game sanctuaries, while hunting is permitted in national forests, except in areas that have been set aside as game preserves. Antelope are now practically extinct “The national forests,” spld Colonel

Island White Oshkosh, White House Dog

•OU can’t call a dog “Oshkosh.” So,what the White House folks will call Island White Oshkosh remains to be seen —maybe

’’lsle”, or “Whitey" or “Kosh”; your guess is as good as anybody’s. Anyway, Island White Oshkosh is the name of the white collie accepted by President Coolidge from the Island White Collie Kennels of Oshkosh, Wis. Oshkosh is large and heavy for « collie that is fifteen months old. He has a full, heavy, pure white coat, very thick and shaggy about the neck and ihoulders; a long, bushy tall; a Uthe, powerful body, with well-sprung ribs and deep chest; a long, aristocratic head and the wise, rather sad eyes of the thoroughbred collie. Like all the other dogs from the Island White collie kennels, Oshkosh was placed on a farm In early puppyhood. There he learned ro take care of the cattle and other live stock, to guard the farmer and his family and to act as companion to the farmer and as a playmate to his son. This trainj Ing. according to Stephen C. Radford, > kennel owner, best develops and

New Plan to Clear Pueblo Land Titles

PLAN has been outlined and approved by the American Indian Defense Society of New York, by which it Is hoped

to untangle the Pueblo Indian land problems In New Mexico. It is to be submitted to the various associations In the United States Interested in American Indian affairs, as welt as to the members of Secretary Work’s Committee of One Hundred. Those : who speak for It refuse to support the 4 so-called Lenroot bill, which was agreed to In the last congress as a substitute for the repudiated- Bursum bill, but not passed as planned, and is I to be again introduced. The contention of the American Indian Defense society is that while the so-called Lenroot substitute measure avoids many of the unjust and unfair 4 provisions of the Bursum -bill, it ad- | heres to and embodies the proposal •that lands of the Pueblos shall not be taken from them their consent • and without compensation.” It Is planned to incorporate In a proposed legislative measure provision

Is Hurley in Wisconsin or Michigan?

N THE arm of the attorney . general of Michigan the-town of Hurley. Wlju notorious in its past, has been usheretUbe-

I fore the Supreme court of the United ■fates. Bora to notoriety in the days of the north country’s “rum rebellion.” Hurley. nevertheless, Is desired by Michigan, with Wisconsin just* as firm (n fighting the attempt to remove the town from Its jurisdiction. Hurley Is on the* small strip of land that Michigan claims as Its own, despite the fact that the land, situated in Iron and Vilas counties, has been ‘ Wisconsin territory since 1886. Michigan's contention, as presented to ’the Supreme court In a. bill of complaint. Is that the boundary line between Michigan and Whconsip was established originally as *2®ongh the middle of the main cmmnel of the Montreal Later it was discovered that the original surveys were incorrect ; that the river branched. Michiiran asserts that the correct

by Justice Butler, it is held the Fourteenth amendment is not violated and there can be no question about the laws being repugnant to the treaty agreement. The decision is a complete victory for the opponents of the Japanese contention and is so sweeping that it eliminates all questions of illegality concerning the laws. The question at issue revolves about the right of a state to pass laws prohibiting certain aliens from holding lands while not inhibiting the holding of lands by other aliens. The court held the state has an undoubted right to prevent land holding by aliens who have not declared their intention of becoming citizens or who are ineligible to citizenship. Holding that the alien land laws are not in contravention of the treaty between the United States and Japan, Justice Butler calls attention to the fact that the preamble of that treaty declares it to be a “treaty of commerce and navigation,” indicating it was into for the purpose of establishing the rules to govern the commercial Intercourse between the two nations.

Greeley, “include a large part of the breeding grounds and range of American big game. No management of the forests is sound or far-sighted that does not recognize wild life as one of the major resources to be fostered and wisely used along with timber and forage. the forest service has set out to do.”' Colonel Greeley stated that live stock grazing privileges have been permanently reduced or wholly eliminated on about one hundred forestgrazing districts to provide forage for game. These reductions are in force, among other areas, on 1,500,000 acres of range lands In the national forests bordering the Yellowstone National park, and on the Kaibab forest bor dering Grand Canyon National park, where at least 20,000 head of deer are to be found. The recent big game count compiled by forest officers showed a general increase in the numbers of all larger animals in the national forests, except in the case of antelope. Stocking of forest lakes and streams with fish is another activity which the forest service is carrying on in co-operation with state -and federal agencies, Colonel Greeley stated.

the sklU, intelligence and virility for which collie dogs have been famed in song and story for hundreds of years. Last year twelve of Oshkosh's brothers, sisters, cousins and uncles were shipped to Capt. Roald Amundsen, Arctic explorer, to accompany him on his seven-year voyage into polat regions.. Eight near-relatives of the President’s new dog were sent last spring to the Royal Canadian mounted police, there to share the adventures and hazardous lives of these guards across the border. In Alaska white collies of,Oshkosh’s breed herd reindeer and pull sledges; In northern Alberta they chase coyotes and other marauders from the range on our western prairies and in the deep valleys of the Rockies they handle large herds of cattle and sheep; In Mexico they herd goats; in the lonely places of the world they act as companions for solitary llgthhouse keepers, forest rangers and missionaries who travel along the edges of civilization.

for the appointment of a commission of three, representing the President, the attorney general and the secretary of the interior, which shall proceed tc map out of the Pueblos making note of the portions occupied by white settlers who claim title prejudicial to that as the Indians. With thi« information as a basis, it is proposed to direct. the attorney general tc bring suit* to recover for the Indians all lands which have been occupied adversely under cover of title for leas than twenty-five years, or less than thirty-five years without paper title or other reasonable claim of ownership. Where a proper showing is made that the land has been held adversely for more than thirty-five years, it ii proposed that the Indian claimant may be compensated by the government. If the land is vitally needed by the Pueblos, It la proposed that settle menr be made with the white claimant who has held the property adversely for more than thirty-five years, and that it be restored to the original owner or his heirs.

boundary is in the west branch of the river; Wisconsin, the east branch. The territorial acquisition that would result to Michigan if this state** contentions are recognized by the high court would be small, including, besides the land In the two Wisconsin counties, several islands in the Me nominee river and Washington island in Green -bay. Valuable deposits of Iron and coal however, make the disputed terrain a tempting bone for the two common wealths to wrangle over. Michigan's bill of complaint charge! that Wisconsin has refused to settle amicably the boundary dispute. Wis cousin is required to file an answer by January 7. The Michigan-Wisconsin dispute Is of long standing. Michigan officials have explained the present court action is not as much directed to the extension of the territorial limits as IT' la to the settlement forever, one way or another, of the boundary argument*

The Ear of Dionysius was the name given to a celebrated cavern near Syracuse in Sicily, said to have been constructed by Dionysius the Elder, tyrant of Syracuse, and used by him as a prison for suspected persons. This cave was 250 feet long and 80 feet high. It was fashioned In the shape of a human ear, and was so constructed that the faintest sounds were conveyed from all parts to a central chamber, corresponding to the tympanum or drum of the ear. There this tyrant secreted himself, sometimes. It is said, for days, and listened to the conversations of the unfortunates imprisoned within. f The workmen who built the dungeon were put to death tu prevent them from divulging the use to which It was put. A whisper at one end cculd be distinctly heard at the other, by putting one’s ear close to the rock, while the tearing of paper sounded like a series of explosions.—Detroit News.

They were for the most part poor, and not allowed to Intermarry with the Patricians. They served in the army without pay, were sold into slavery for debt, and could even be cut in pieces for distribution among their creditors. Finding their conditions Intolerable, the Plebeians in 495 B. C. repaired to Mons Sacer, near Rome, where they resolved to build a new city; but this step so alarmed the privileged classes that they granted to the Plebeians the right of choosing annually from their own number two magistrates, called tribunes, with power to protect them against aggression of the Patricians. After the lapse of about 200 years the disabilities of the Plebeians were almost entirely removed. Theodore Hook, the noted wit, was once asked why professional humorists are.so solemn looking. He proceeded to unfold his theory. “Being a humorist is a serious business,” he explained. “It is true once in a while one of them writes a good i joke.” “Well’” “Here is where the sad part comes : in.
