ADVERTISING THE WEST Governor's Special Train Makes Great Hit East (Correndence of the Gazette) San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 25 Editor Gazette:—Nobody could have foreseen nor can yet foretell the good results from the running of the Western Governors' Special. In every city visited we have addressed the leading business men of that city. The exhibit cars have been viewed by over 100,000 people and the newspaper reports which in every city occupied columns of space have been read by millions. The Governors on board this train have generously accorded me a place on their speaking program to speak for the Exposition, notwithstanding it was often to the exclusion of themselves. I have seen no newspaper reports in which the Exposition was excluded and I do not believe any other Exposition ever obtained such a tremendous volume of effective publicity for so small an outlay. As a sample of the newspaper publicity the New York Times in a leading editorial says: "The frankly avowed object of the tour of the Western Governors' Special is to direct public attention throughout the country to the plan to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal by an International Exposition at San Francisco and the object is worthy." There is not a Governor upon the train who does not approve of that editorial and who is not willing at any and all times to take the platform and speak for the Exposition. Seven cities visited, over 16,000 people addressed by the governors, more than 30,000 people passed western counties' products and fruits. In Buffalo alone 6152 people passed through the cars and in the little town of Batavis, N.Y., 752 people went through. The total number who have gone through the cars up in Rochester is 30,186. The people have carried away all the literature with which the train started, and a large portion of the second supply, the interest being shown by them being far beyond anything expected by those in charge of the Special. It is noticeable also that those who visit the train are of a specially desirable class of citizens, many of them being farmers who are in a position to move West and make a success of the business of agriculture. One of the most successful features of the Western Governors' Special is the tremendous amount of newspaper publicity which it is receiving. A map of the United States showing the pictures of the Governors and the offices of the train, with the state which are interested shaded in a dark color has been carried in over 500 eastern newspapers, and the stories of the west, its products and its magnificent train, which have been printed, will probably fill ten thousand newspaper columns. It has been said by the eading men of every city visited that the Western Governors' Special is one of the greatest things which has been done by the west and will do more to give it publicity than any similar work which it could possibly have undertaken. The presence of the nine actual governors on a train visiting another section of the country in the interests of their own home states, is something absolutely unprecedented in the history of the United States or on other ranges has nearly reductions. There were grazing forests this last year 1,449 and horses and 7,450,000 goats. "The collective grazing of the National Forests is an increase.

"Careful investigations age done young trees by southwest showed over cent of the seedlings and seriously injured, and in on ranges extensively by fifty per cent, but the man was done when feed was therefore largely due grazing. The immediate problem which now confines the development of the ra of the Western Governors Special is to direct public attention throughout the country to the plan to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal by an International Exposition at San Francisco and the object is worthy." There is not a Governor upon the train who does not approve of that editorial and who is not willing at any and all times to take the platform and speak for the Exposition. Seven cities visited, over 16,000 people addressed by the governors, more than 30,000 people passed through the exhibit cars, and illustrated stories of the western states printed several different times in papers having a total circulation of over three million, is the record of the Western Governors' Special, under the charge of James H. Brady, president of the Western Development Association, as president, and Reilly Atkinson, secretary of Boise Commercial Club, as manager, which is now touring the east in the interests of the greater development of the West. The special train, consisting of five exhibit cars, one-half of each car devoted to one state, four sleeping cars and observation cars, one baggage car and one diner, left St. Paul November 27th and since then has visited Chicago, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Erie, Buffalo and Batavia and is now at Rochester, and in each one of these cities a most royal welcome has been tendered the entire party, the leading business and professional men having shown a great interest in the visit of the Western Governors and made preparations for their entertainment equal to any ever offered a president of the United states. At Chicago two large banquets were given in honor of the visitors, one by the Cook County Realty Board at the LeSalle Hotel and the other at the Congress Hotel by the Chicago Association of Commerce, and both of these the Governors were the guests of Governor Dineen of Illinois, and Mayor Harrison of Chicago. The total attendance at both banquets was 1250. At Kalamazoo the party was met by a reception committee, which took it to the eight different educational institutions in that city, at each of which one of the Governors delivered an address; and was then taken to the Burdick House, where was held a luncheon at which five of the party spoke, and at which there were 500 seated. Gov. Chase S. Osborn of Michigan, presided as toastmaster, and remained with the party until it left It has been said by the eading men of every city visited that the Western Governors' Special is one of the greatest things which has been done by the west and will do more to give it publicity than any similar work which it could possibly have undertaken. The presence of the nine actual governors on a train visiting another section of the country in the interests of their own home states, is something absolutely unprecedented in the history of the United States or any other country; and the cities which are visited seem to appreciate that they have been complimented in an unusual way. At Rochester (N. Y.), the Chamber of Commerce has changed the date of their annual banquet in order to have the governors as their guests of honor, the guest the year before having been President Taft and the year previous James J. Hill Chairman of the Great Northern Railroad Co. From Rochester the train will go to Syracuse, Utica, Schenectady and Albany, and from there will run down to Washington, where the members of the party will attend the opening of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, and the Governors will be the guests of the President of the United States at a dinner at the White House. The train will reach New York December 10th, and start on its western journey the night of December 11th. It will return to St. Paul December 16th. CORRESPONDENT. PROBLEMS OF GRAZING Forest Service Seeks to Stop Waste of Surplus Forage. Associate Forester A. F. Potter, representing the Forest Service, addressed the annual convention of the National Woolgrowers Association at Omaha on December 15, as follows: "Realizing the importance of the livestock industry to the general welfare of the West, the Forest Service, from the beginning of its administration of the National Forests, adopted a conservative policy for dealing with grazing problems. Most of the mountain ranges which have been included in the National Forests had been occupied by the flockmasters long before the forests were created. With the demand for summer range in many localities greater than the supply, there had followed overgrazing and serious damage, while absolute waste of a large portion of the forage crop was taking grazing is involved. "Careful investigations age done young trees by southwest showed over cent of the seedlings and seriously injured, and in on ranges extensively by fifty per cent, but the man was done when feed was was therefore largely due grazing.

Gov. Chase S. Osborn of Michigan, presided as toastmaster, and remained with the party until it left Detroit the next day. At Grand Rapids a banquet was held in the largest auditorium in the city, 600 people being present, to whom all the governors spoke on the resources of the west and the needs of that great country. The train was in Detroit on Thanksgiving Day, where the Governors were assigned to the different churches, and a Peace and Prosperity Meeting at the Detroit Opera House, the total attendance at which was over 12,000. Thanksgiving evening was spent in Toledo, where the party was entertained by the Toledo Board of Commerce and the Toledo Club. The entertainment consisted of a luncheon reception at the Toledo Club held in the afternoon, followed by a buffet luncheon at the Board of Commerce. Similar programs were arranged at Cleveland and Buffalo, and the total number of people addressed by the Governors of the West previous, to reaching Rochester, was about 16,000. The exhibit portion of the train is attracting wonderful attention throughout the east, the people in all the cities flocking to see the western products from the suburban towns, the large factories, and the outlaying farms. At almost every city the train has been met by a large number of farmers and others who were there awaiting to see the samples of the administration of the National Forests, adopted a conservative policy for dealing with grazing problems. Most of the mountain ranges which have been included in the National Forests had been occupied by the flockmasters long before the forests were created. With the demand for summer range in many localities greater than the supply, there had followed overgrazing and serious damage, while absolute waste of a large portion of the forage crop was taking place. Many ranges were fast deteriorating though carrying no more stock than could be permanently sustained under proper regulation. "The first thing was to check the damage and waste with the least possible curtailment of grazing privileges. Such divisions of the range were made as would secure the use of each group of owners, so stock to which it was best adopted and give each group of owners, so far as possible, the use of the range upon which they had customarily grazed their stock. Then it was decided what portions should be used only during the summer, what ones during the winter, spring or fall, and what portions during the entire year, with the dates at which the grazing season should begin and close in normal seasons. "These measures did much towards stopping waste of surplus forage and showing that better methods were worth while. Attention was next given to extending the area of available range through encouraging the development of watering places and opening trails to make accessible unused ranges. Unfortunately it has been necessary to make quite heavy reductions on some Forests to enable overgrazed ranges to recuperate, but such reductions have been made gradually in order not to cause undue business disturbance. The increased number of stock, however, provided for..." ANAHEIM GAZETTE In other ranges has nearly offset the reductions. There were grazed on the forests this last year 1,442,000 cattle and horses and 7,450,000 sheep and goats. "The collective grazing capacity of the National Forests is now on the increase. Energetic efforts have been made by the Forest Service to promote the utilization of surplus forage which now goes to waste in northern Washington, Idaho, and Montana. The removal of the forage crop in a proper way greatly reduces the fire damage. "If grazing is too close, however, the reproduction of the forest is interfered with. Many timberland owners are willing to offer grazing privileges upon extremely favorable terms because they are not planning to grow another crop of trees. Replanted areas must be closed against grazing for a few years, and where reproduction is difficult out-over areas must be protected by reducing if not excluding the stock, until the young trees are out of danger from tramping or nibbling. Since, however, the area cut-over and that replanted each year form, combined, less than one percent of the total area of the Forests, no serious interference with grazing is involved. "Careful investigations of the damage done young trees by stock in the southwest showed over twenty percent of the seedlings and young trees seriously injured, and in some cases in ranges extensively by sheep over fifty per cent, but the most damage was done when feed was scarce and was therefore largely due to overrazing. The immediate and urgent problem which now confronts us is the development of the ranges to the nights ago, and in the morning presented himself at the house for break fast. The family gazed at him in astonishment, for such hair as his had never been seen in that farming community. It was as thick as it was long, and it came to his shoulders. It stood out aggressively, as did his untrimmed wiskers. On top of his head was a small derby hat, incongruous in size and shade. After he had eaten heartily of oatmeal and cream and ham and eggs, the farmer got up courage to ask him if he would work, as he was short-handed for the threshing that day. "I am forbidden," loftily replied he of the redulant locks. "Who forbade you?" demanded the farmer. "The government," solemnly affirmed the trump. "The government's a durned sight too paternal," roared the farmer after the retreating figure. "And I'd like to know where reciprocity comes in," he added. "There goes my food and I get nothing for it." Later in the day, when he learned that the trump had gone to the next farm and claimed a second breakfast, he was still more enraged. "I suppose the government told him to eat at every farm—threshing time, too—and never do a lick of work. Say, I bet he's one of them. Investigatin' commissions. They never do any real work. That's what he is." NATURE SUCCEEDS Where Government Seed Planters Fall. Rangers of the Angelus national forest, near Banning, have conscienited them. The art is to give rise to the opportunity and to invent the pretense. At Arcola I won the battle with twenty-five horsemen. I seized that moment of lassitude, gave every man a trumpet and gained the day with this handful. You see that two armies are two bodies, which meet "Careful investigations of the damage done young trees by stock in the southwest showed over twenty percent of the seedlings and young trees seriously injured, and in some cases on ranges extensively by sheep over fifty per cent, but the most damage was done when feed was scarce and thus therefore largely due to overgrazing. The immediate and urgent problem which now confronts us is the development of the ranges to the highest possible state of productivity. "The gradual increase of the carrying power of the ranges will be brought about through improved methods of handling stock and of growing the forage crop. A careful study under way to ascertain the character of all land within the forests, the kind of stock to which each natural grazing unit is adapted, the natural periods of use, and the undergrazed, and overgrazed acres." "Experiments in lambing sheep in small enclosures proved that, under some conditions at least, a saving of lambs and labor can be made more than enough to offset the cost. In the yote-proof pasture experiments a regular herder, without help from the Forest Service, handled the sheep with the same reductions in expense, amount of range required, and percentage of loss, and the same increase in weight of lambs, as in preceding years. The mountain bunchgrass range investigations have shown how by proper rotation in the grazing, to secure thorough natural reeding of overgrazed land without serious decrease of he number of stock while the range is being restored." "Many forage species have been tested through artificial reseeding experiments. The introduction of new grasses is a very difficult problem. Bedtop was found to succeed better than any other cultivated grass on poorly drained bogs where the soil acid, while Hungarian brome grass is better adapted to arid localities. Timothy is fairly drought resistant and yet can be depended upon to make a good stand is moist meadows. On the lands studied the most promising cultivated species for range reeding were found to be, named in the order of their importance, timothy, Hungarian brome, Italian rye, redup, Kentucky bluegrass, alpine and white clover, orchard grass, tall meadow oat grass, Canadian bluegrass, and hard or sheep "escue. In all cases except in parts of the southwest fall feeding has given much better rearing." NATURE SUCCEEDS Where Government Seed Planters Fall. Rangers of the Angelus national forest, near Banning, have conscientiously labored to reforest the reserve during the last year, and are now ready to have some one explain why seed planted by them to grow young forests will not grow, while the same seed blown from the native trees will propagate stalwart young trees without fail. Not long ago the forest service undertook to plant thousands of acres of burned-over land with young trees, and also sowed tons of pine seed. The results were discouraging, only a comparatively few silky trees growing. The effort has been abandoned temporarily. At the same time there are in the reserve hundreds of acres of young pine trees, which have been sown by nature, and these trees are invariably healthy. The operations in the forest just now are handicapped by lack of funds to pay salaries, and many of the newer men are laid off. The situation works hardship on the policy of development of the reserve, as it had been planned to construct many miles of trails and firebreaks before another dry season should arrive. Congressman S. C. Smith started for Washington from the Monrovia sanitarium on Tuesday. It had been thought that Smith would be unable to go east this winter. It is generally understood that he will not run for the nomination next summer. He is reported to be better able to make the trip than he was to go home last spring. Mrs. Smith and their daughter will accompany the congress man on his overland journey which begun this week and should end next Sunday morning. Mr. Smith will also be accompanied by his nurse. He has been anxious to go to Washington, feeling that even though he may be unable to leave his house most of the time, he will at least be in closer touch with legislation and able to serve his district better than if he remains in California. HELP THE KIDNEYS Battles a moment occurs when the bravest troops after having made the greatest efforts feel inclined to run. That terror proceeds from a want of confidence in their own courage, and it only requires a slight opportunity, a pretense, to restore confidence to them. The art is to give rise to the opportunity and to invent the pretense. At Arcola I won the battle with twenty-five horsemen. I seized that moment of lassitude, gave every man a trumpet and gained the day with this handful. You see that two armies are two bodies, which meet and endeavor to frighten each other. A moment of panic occurs, and that moment must be turned to advantage. When a man has been present in many actions he distinguishes that moment without difficulty. It is as easy as casting up an addition." Hunting In Russia. Nearly all the dogs used in hunting wild animals in Russia not only attack but endeavor to devour their quarry. With the borzoi and gontscho it is entirely different. At an early age they are put into training with old and experienced dogs, so that they soon learn how to properly attack their adversary. They are slipped three at a time after a single wolf. When one of the dogs gets nearly side by side with the wolf he makes one bold spurt and with the fore shoulder strikes the wolf so that he is knocked over or else grips him by the neck. Each of the other dogs, coming up, strikes the quarry in the same manner as he tries to rise, finally pinning him to the earth, so engaging him until the hunter arrives. The sportsman then either kills the animal or takes him alive. The latter being much more exciting. Turned It To His Advantage. An instance of the usefulness to other people of illegible handwriting is included in the vast collection of anecdote and fable that deals with the writing of Horace Greeley. One compositor could never get used to his appalling scrawl, and, in rage at the continual "typographical errors," Greeley sent a note to the foreman ordering him to discharge the man at once, as he was too inefficient a workman to be any longer employed on the Tribune. The foreman did it, but the compositor got hold of the note and took it to another office, where the foreman, after much puzzling, finally read it "good and efficient workman and long employed on the Tribune" and promptly took him on.-London Chronicle.
