RANDOLPH, UTAH MKS FOR CHILD MSI KEEP WELL (Conducted Mothers in a Uker Situation Should Read This Letter from Mrs. Enrico - by National Council of tho 14? Scouts of America.) A FRIEND OF BOY SCOUTS Old Charley Tiffany is dead ; died in a poorhouse at that, and penniless. Was he a failure? Not if you accept the verdict of the boy scouts of Bridgeport, Conn., who declare he was the best of good scouts and followed him to his grave on New Years eve with reverence and 'tears. Old Charley" was once rich and prosperous, a famous landscape architect. But misfortune came. His fortune vanished. His family life went shipwrecked. Only his son, Goelet, remained to him and the two came to Bridgeport to begin life anew, on six acres of land purchased on the installment plan. Things were just beginning to look a bit brighter when the war came. Goelet went across. The old man worked alone. Presently the word came that the boy would never dome back. He slept under a white cross in poppy-lanThe old man gave away his six acres to the boy scouts. He loved all boys for Goelets sake and he wanted his friends, the scouts, to have their needed camp. He became an odd-joworkman for anyone who would hire him, living obscurely in a mean little rooming house, interested in nothing but scout activities. When he died they found that when he gave the scouts Use farm he did not own it. d. b I took Lydia EL Chicago, Illinois. for a.-- . Pinkhams Vegetable Compound senous trouble.

Some: thing significant ! interesting I A joint resolution (S. J. Res. 154) creating the Presidents Forest within the present Kalbab National forest, Arizona, has been introduced by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah 'and referred to the committee on public lands and surveys. The resolution, after defining the boundaries, provides that the land and timber "are hereby withdrawn from settlement, location, occupancy, United grazing or disposal under the laws of the a game States and dedicated and set apart as sanctuary and forest preserve for the benefit and be enjoyment of the people, and shall hereafter known as the Presidents Forest. The Presidents Forest, if this resolution is name passed by both houses, will therefore be the of approximately 500,000 acres of timber forever set aside for the people and forever barred to purchaser, homesteader, miner, stockman, lumberman, resident, hunter and trapper. Under the present form of the resolution control will remain in the forest service of the Agricultural department, which controls the Kalbab National forest and all national forests. To all intents and purposes the forest will be a part of the Grand Canyon National park, which runs Into It on the south and Is in charge of the national park service of the Interior department. So The Presidents Forest, is something new. The name, .for one thing, ts new, And why The D ' world-buildin- y f.3uJe .32F yc& C27Yazr flowers and for wild strawberries about a spring. Kald This vast, remote, rugged, bab National forest is still a wild place in spite of the fact that thousands of cattle and sheep have been grazing in it for years. It is still so wild deer in it, that there are at least 10,000 black-ta- il though they shrink in disgust from the cattle and sheep. There are many mountain lions that live on the deer. This is the way Senator Smoots Joint resolution came to be introduced: Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, drove from the north through the Kalbab National forest to the North Rim of the Grand canyon. Upon his return to Washington he wrote the following letter to President Harding: heavily-timbere- Dear Mr. President: Last Bummer I visited the wonderful country at the North Rim of the Grand canyon and waB profoundly , Impressed with the splendid forest and the extraordinary display of wild life to be found there.

Marshall, president of the Grand Canyon Cattle company, the corporation which has conducted cattle grazing operations In this forest for a number of years, and was very much gratified to find a ready and enthusiastic response to the Idea of maintaining this region solely as a game preserve and for public enjoyment. Since then he has very generously made the offer which I have the honor of transmitting to you In the accompanying letter. This offer means a very real sacrifice on the part of the Grand Canyon Cattle company In abandoning the improvements which they made and relinquishing the prospect of a Mr. Marconsiderable profit from their operation. shalls other Interests, however, are considerable, and In a sacrifice d makes this he cheerfully truly s, wood-choppe- rs tree-lover- s, public-spirite- manner. May I express the hope. Mr. President, that you may find an opportunity of visiting the President's Forest yourself and feeling the Inspiration of its vast- -' , ness and unspoiled beauty. ' The ieter of Mr. Marshall to President Harding , is in part as follows : ' ' one-seede- - The Grand Canyon Cattle company, a California corporation, has been operating here for a number of years under leases from the United States forest service, and during that time has made extensive and valuable Improvements, particularly In the development of water supply and the erection of stone cattle camp buildings. The company owns certain patented tracts of land within the boundaries of the forest reservation and several tracts of located scrip lands In the Immediate vicinity. At the present time we are grazing a herd of breeding cattle, numbering about 4,600 head, under permit from the forest service. We desire to register our willingness to vacate and abandon the Kalbab forest reservation and the public lands immediately adjoining to the east thereof, recognizing that by so doing the purposes of former President Roosevelt In establishing a game preserve here could be more completely fulfilled, and making the entire region avlalable for the public enjoyment Our only request Is that a reasonable time be given the company to dispose of and move Its livestock and other personal property, and that in recognition of our action such grazing permits be not hereafter issued to other livestock Interests In the area now covered by our permit. Arrangements have been made through private Individuals tor acquiring the company's patented land holdings, which are to be presented to the United fctates without '.p to the government.

Because the United States is a nation governed by laws rather than by men. Presidents come and presidents go. As long as there is a United States there will be a president. And as long as there Is a president there will be The Presidents Forest. And The Presidents Forest is new in form too. Theres nothing just like It. Its nearest in form to a national park. It has size, majesty and beauty. Private and commercial interests are barred. It Is a game sanctuary. It is purely for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. All of which closely describe a national park. Certainly it is far removed in form from a national forest. The national forests, as established by law, are purely commercial and industrial institutions for the application for profit of scientific lumbering and grazing tb the nations wood-lotthough as a matter of fact there is Instead of a profit an annual deficit of a million and more and the forest service Is exploiting the national forests as recreational rivals to national parks. Anyway, The Presidents Forest will be one forest where the forest service cannot insist upon trying to combine cattle and campers, and sheep and tourists. Cattle in a wild beauty spot are a calamity ; sheep are a catastrophe. The movement to create The Presidents Forest has a significance that gladdens the nature-lover- s heart. It betokens an increasing national appreciation of the value of scenery as a natural resource, as a national asset. It betokens an increasing national consciousness that It Is nqt well to lay the ax to every forest, to turn the cattle and sheep loose on the shrubs and flowers of ery wild beauty spot. The Kalbab National forest Is approximately 40 miles square, and contains 1,072,900 acres. It stands on the Kalbab plateau, which rises up from the- desert that surrounds it on the north, east and west and slopes down to 8,000 feet at the North Rim of the Grand canyon. The Presidents Forest is the east half of the Kaibnb National forest. The northwest part of The Presidents Forest shoulders up on to Buckskin mountain. So there are mountains and vald leys covered with gnarled Juniper and pinon and with majestic western yellow pine which are three and four feet through and rise 100 feet. There is some Douglas fir and some spruce. Ravines are clad with the lighter green of the aspen which changes to vivid yellow, gold and red in the fall. In the little pttrks within the forest the trees stop half-wa- y dvwn the rimming llopes and leave room for white clover, grass and ecutive order. The President however, preferred action by congress to Insure permanency. Hence the joint resolution. Sen ator Smoot was pleased to introduce the resolution. Utah is interested In the exthe region north of ploitation of the Grand canyon. Senator It is indeed a Smoot says it is a wonderland, land of scenic beauties, of geological marvels, of strange contrasts, of romantic history. The High plateau of Utah is divided by canyons into nine distinct plateaus which drop the surface in successive cliffs from nfearly the summit-leve- l of the Wasatch mountains, to the desert out of which rises the Kaibnb plateau. These cliffs expose in turn strata representing many millions of years of They curve and twist in fantastic outlines. They take every possible erosional form. They literally run the gamut ot color and shade and tint. ( There is no space here for detailed description of the Pink cliff,, the White cliff and the Vermilion cliff ; of the great Hurricane fault, the Natural bridges and the Rainbow bridge; of the Painted desert; of Lees ferry across the Colorado, where John D. Lee hid out for 20 years after the Mountain Meadows massgere; of Utahs Dixie, land of cotton and fruits; of the variegated hills of sediment from a prehistoric sea along the Pariah river where are gold and free mercury. d Zion National park a deep, gorge cut in the plateau by the Rio Virgin is famous. Cedar breaks, a marvel of erosional forms and stratified color, Is yet to be seen by the public. niche in the top of Bryce canyon, a thousand-foo- t the Pink cliff, an amphitheater-lik- e canyon showing an endless variety of erosional forms painted In every color, shade and tint of the artists palette, is one of the most gorgeous spectacles of the RfUS.Pat.Off. PETROLEUM . Southern Utah and northern Arizona are working together to exploit this land of wonders. A branch railroad is likely to be run from Lund to Cedar City; the steel may be extended from Mnrysvale to 'Pangultch. Cedar breaks, Bryce canyon,. Zion and The Presidents Forest are to be connected by automobile highways over the routes Indicated by the broken lines, according to present plans. A bridge across the Colorado at Lees, ferry is highways to planned. Two of the Colorado-Uta- h be Constructed by Colorado under the federal aid plan will strike southern Utah; thus connecting this region with Mesa Verde and Rocky Mountain National parks. There is a bill in congress to make Bryce canyon the Utah National park. It is more likely to be made a state park. Cedar breaks may be added to Zion National park. So there will soon be thousands of tourists pushing fromf the north to the North Rim there were 1,200 last season. And now that the Kaibnb Suspension bridge has been built across the Colorado in the Grand canyon a large proportion of South Rim visitors of whom there were 66.218 Inst year will cross to the North Rim. On the North Rim there is scant room for the public withHence the need of in the national park lines. ; "The Presidents Forest. asks Mr. Average "In these circumstances. Man, why not make The Presidents Forest a part of the Grand Canyon National park? Because it cant be done, answers the experienced national park enthusiast, at least not now. The people will be lucky to muster enough votes in congress to get the joint resolution through. The Agricultural department and the forest service as usual would fight to the last ditch to prevent the transfer of liutionul forest land to a national park and the Interior department and the national park service. Huh! Didn't Theodore Roosevelt make the Grand canyon a national monument January 11, 1908, with the idea that It would be mude a national park at once in response to the nation-wid- e demand? But the monument was put in chnrge of the Agricultural department Instead of being transferred to the Interior department. And didnt It take the people Just eleven years, one month and fifteen days fronr January 11. 3908, to get their Grand Canyon Na tional park? Verb. sap.

Nearly everybody is willing, even anxious, to contribute cast-of- f apparel where It can be of use, but when it comes to getting the bundles delivered to the receiving stations theres the rub.

LANGUAGE An English scoutmaster tells the following story : After a long day, visiting the battle area around Metz wood with a group of his scouts, the scoutmaster sat down on a boulder and made a sign to a poorly-cla- d French boy who was hovering near, that he would like a shell case. The boy understood and was off like a shot, returning in five minutes with a shell case, which he presented with a beaming smile. The scoutmaster offered him a franc. The boy shook his head and walked away. After a moment he came back and made the scout salute. It was his explanation of the reason why he had refused the money when obviously it would not have been amiss. He was a scout and a scout does not accept money for a good turn. DOINGS OF BOY SCOUTS San Francisco boy scouts removed all election placards and other outdated posters as one of their community good turns undertaken at the request of Chief of Police, Daniel J. OBrien. Chief Warnock of the Swampscolt (Mass.) fire department has requested the boy scouts of the city to collect as many old brooms as possible to be used by the department In fighting forest and grass fires.
