A NEW MERGENTHALER TYPE-CASTING MACHINE Marvelous Piece of Mechanism Added to Gazette's Coming Room—Brief Description of the Machine This issue of the Gazette is set in large part on a Mergenthaler Linotype machine which was installed in our composing room on Thursday last The machine was erected by Ernest Lindner, of San Francisco, representing the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. On the arrival of the machine the office at San Francisco was notified and Mr. Lindner came south on the Owl train, arriving here on Thursday morning. The machine left the factory at Brooklyn, N. Y., July 6, and was the last machine made by the Mergenthaler Company up to the departure of a carload of machines consigned to the Pacific Coast agency. It arrived at San Francisco last week, ten days ahead of time. The San Francisco office wrote the Gazette, "Greatly to our surprise, the Linotype machine ordered by you, which we expected along in about ten days or two weeks. is in the freight yards there." The machine was immediately shipped to this city, arriving Wednesday of last week and it has been in operation since Friday. The machine involves the principal features and advantages of the slugs are cast from molten metal. The justification of the line, casting trimming of the slugs distribution of the matrices all place automatically. They do not require any stoppage of composition any attention on the part of the erator. One line is cast and livered while the operator is manipulating the keys to compose next line. Each set of matrices carries four phabets, upper and lower case in man, and upper and lower case in black face. The operator is thus able, without leaving the keybord, to cast his head or sub-head in play type, and by the instantanous touch of the two-letter attach lever, change to roman and set reading matter. Some of the advantageous features of the Linotype are: A bright new face for each is Rapid and uninterrupted production of perfect printing slugs. Ready-to-print non-pliable material from metal in the pig. Absolute insurance against exhibition of sorts. Provision for keeping matter standing without limit. "Greatly to our surprise, the Linotype machine ordered by you, which we expected along in about ten days or two weeks. is in the freight yards there." The machine was immediately shipped to this city, arriving Wednesday of last week and it has been in operation since Friday. The machine involves the principal features and advantages of the standard Linotype in simplified form, metal matrices being composed in lines, with justifying wedges and presented to a mold in which the UNCLE SAM'S NEW FORESTERS AND THEIR WORK. Thirty-nine young graduates of nine American Forest schools have lately received appointments as Forest Assistants in the Forest service and have been assigned to positions for the present field season. The new appointees are drawn from the various forest schools as follows: Yale, 18; Biltmore, 5; Univresity of Minnesota, 4; University of Michigan, 4; Michigan Agricultural College, 3; Harvard, 2; Cornell, 1; University of Iowa, 1 and Univresity of Nebraska, 1. They have secured their appointments as a result of passing the regular civil srvice examination, which is the only avenue to employment as a forester under the government. In addition to those graduates of forest schools, fifteen other candidates passed the examination. Twenty-two of the new appointees are already at work on various National forests, taking part in their administration, and seventeen have been assigned to different projects connected with the technical study of silviculture. Forest assistants are men who have completed their liminary training for the professional forestry, as the graduates of a medical school have completed theirs, and are ready to enter practical work. Until they have gained experience in their work, however, their positions are necessary subordinate. They are at the foot of the order and must prove their fitness order to mount higher. The government pays them $1,000 a year at start. On the National forests the forest assistant often acts as adviser to supervisors in charge, who are well experienced in all practical matters, but usually without schooling in the science of forestry. Or they may be assigned to the study of some particular problem which needs to be investigated in the interest of good forest management. As forestry means know-how to get the most out of any en piece of forest land, it calls for studies and experiments, both scientific and practical, much like those which have to be made in the interest of good farm management, and the forest assistant is prepared to do valuable work along this line. There is a growing interest in the profession of forestry now, and many young men are asking how to get into it and what it promises. Gifford Pinchot, the governmnet forester, has lately written on this subject: To be a good forseter a man should combine something of the naturalist with a good deal of the business man. To know how to use the forest he must be able to study it. He must therefore, have the power of observation, a fondness for nature, and the ability to penetrate her secrets. But if he is to succeed he must also have good practical judgment and the ability to handle men. He must be resourceful, able to stand by himself, willing to undergo the privations of rough life, and capable of commanding the respect of rough men who quickly recognize virility and genuineness of character, but will not tolerate pretense or the assumption of superiority. A forester needs a vigorous mind in a vigorous body. He must be of the kind that likes to get things done, and does not give up when things are not going his way. He will have to face difficulties and work out problems for from outside help, rely. The professional forester can not ing solely upon himself. He ought to be hard to whip. hope for big fees and certain pleas- forester needs a vigorous mind in a vigorous body.

The professional forester can not ing solely upon himself. He ought to be hard to whip. hope for big fees and certain pleasant surroundings of life which crown distinguished success in some other professions. The first prizes which are bestowed upon the great lawyer, the eminent physician, are not yet open to him. He must be content without much luxury; he will have to spend a good deal of time out of reach of the ordinary comforts. He must be able and willing to rough it without complaint—to sleep on hard beds, eat homely fare, endure prolonged exertion and get along with plain people. On the other hand, if he is at all fitted for his profession—and a few weeks of actual forest work or good summer-school work will tell him whether he is or not—there is open to him a very rich reward—life in the open, in the midst of beautiful, healthful and congenial surroundings, creative work of unmatched usefulness in any material field, a place of large responsibility and dignity, and with it all a fair living. “If the forester’s temperament is scientific he will have the joy of the discoverer and organizer of knowledge in a rich and almost virgin field, while if it be practical he will have the chance of sharing in a national work of prime importance to our people both now and hereafter. STATE REVENUES FROM NATIONAL FORESTS. Figures just made public by the forest service shows that under the new law requiring 25 per cent of the gross proceeds of National forest business to be paid over to the states and territories in which the forests are located, to be used for public schools and roads, the last fiscal year will yield these states INONAL FORESTS. Figures just made public by the forest service shows that under the new law requiring 25 per cent of the gross proceeds of National forest business to be paid over to the states and territories in which the forests are located, to be used for public schools and roads, the last fiscal year will yield these states $447,063.79. The amounts which go to each vary from $313.68 for Arkansas to over $75,000 for Montana. The small amount for Arkansas is because the two National forests in that state were created so recently that they have not yet got fully under way. Oklahoma with one small National forest receives $554; Kansas, $644, and the next smallest after these is Nebraska, with $2,350. Since the forests in these last two states were set aside from land naturally destitute of trees, that the government might try forest planting on them, it will probably surprise most people that they should yield any revenue at all. National forest business is chiefly of three kinds, grazing, timber sales, and special uses; the latter comprising the use of the lesser resources of the forests and the permits involving the development of water power. It is interesting to note the states in which the largest volume of each of these three kinds of business is done and study the causes which make their revenues correspondingly larger. Montana, California, and Colorado lead in timber sales. In the case of Montana and California this fact is mainly due to the accessibility of the timber in the National forests. The fact that the timber can be easily reached and quickly transported has created a headwind which is reflected in theume of business. Colorado is most absolutely dependent upon National forest timber for its ing operations. Each of these will receive over $50,000 from proceeds of the forests. Idaho, Utah and Oregon hearlist of the states in grazing bush. The causes in this case are said in the first place these states supplied with more abundant largely on account of more precipitation.

Place these states are more abundant forage, account of more plentiful forests. In some cases the support a sheep to the elsewhere will often more than one sheep to from four to six acres. Again, the grazing methods are, as a rule, more intensive in these states, a higher class of herders is employed and a better grade of stock is kept. Management, moreover, is more intensive. Sheep are handled in small bands, and the herders in running them are able to keep them in scattered order so that they do not do so much damage to the range as does the large band which can be controlled only when closely herded. Idaho's share of the receipts is over $56,000. If you want to trade your property come in and see H. Vossbeck, who has some bargains.
