EXPERIMENTS BEING CONDUCTED 01 FORESTS i , I A. W. Sampson, director of the Great 'Basin Experiment station, arrived in Ogden this morning' to confer with the district forester and members of tho Ogden office, relative to the research program for next year. The Great Basin Experiment station is a young institution, having been es tablished in 1912. It is somewhat unique in that it is concerned chiefly (With the working out of problems of special interest to livestock growers in the west. The results are especial ly applicable to improved methods in handling stock on natlonnl forest range. Most of the national forests afford excellent grazing for all class- es of stock. It Is the object of the ex periment station to assist forest of ficers who are concerned with tho ad ministration of the enormous livestock resource, as well as to help the stock men in procuring tho best possible utl- j llzatlon of the forage crop. j It is, of course, highly important toj see to it that tho timber resource, as well as the forage crop, is properly protected from injury due to overgraz ing of to other faulty livestock man agement. Tho experiment station has taken up many problems which con cern the professional forester, the grazing expert and the stockman. Forj instance, an investigation to deter- j mine the effect of grazing on the re-1 production of aspen,, which has been under study since 1913, has just been completed. A bulletin reporting this investigation will soon be published. Tho study showed clearly that pn clcarcut aspen lands sheep will kill out the sprouts almost as sqon as they are produced, thus destroying prac tically all three reproduction. Cattle, on the other hand, do loss damage to aspen reproduction than sheep if grazed in tho proper numbers. Sheep however can be used to crop the her- ( bage of cut-over aspen lands as sooni as three years after the timber has I been removed, as most of the sprouts' arc then out of reach of sheep. It has been the custom In the past( to have one or two trained foresters; at the station during the winter to' record climatic records and to look af ter the general Interests of tho station. This year, however, the station will be closed for the winter. After a few days in tho Ogden office; Mr. Sampson will leave for Washington, D. C, where he will spend the winter. oo 0. E.

M, oo LID SUIT ID J MORTGAGE The case of Henry W. Harris versus James H. Adams is being heard be fore Judge Agee in district court Complainant sues for the purchase price of certain land sold to him, and i defendant states that the litigation arises from the fact that he cannot obtain a clear title to the estate by reason of a morgage of 1100 to Mr. Harris's father which has been satis fied, and settled but not recorded and that complainant will not open up the estate to probate, owing to the ex pense involved. Mr. Adams, there fore, withholds balanoe of his payment until the matter of tho mortgage is settled. CONGREGATIONAL SERIES SU1AY According to Rev.

I RED FLAG TO BE EXHIBITED IN ; THIS CITY At a meeting of the city commis sioners this morning, the matter of acting upon an ordinance relative to tho waving and exhibiting "of, the Red Flag" was up for discussion, and a measure reading as follows was sub- mltted and passed: Section 1.

A' HIGH PRICE Turkeys are not in abundance in the Ogden markets, according to propriet ors of the city shops today. And prices are to be sky high, which comes as a decided disappointment to many who had postponed their Thanksgiving feast until Yulotide. However, the best may be had at 45 cents per pound, and geese and ducks at 35 cents per pound. This is for the dressed fowl and live are selling at less to allow for loss in dressing. Both California holly and Maine hol ly are to be had in the local markets and all holiday luxuries are showing forth in the windows with their usual attractiveness. Oranges, which are customarily at their best and reasonable at this time of the year, aro at the top, as far as prices aro concerned. They are of a very fine quality and equally fine, the smaller ones selling for 70 cents per dozen, and ranging up to $1 per dozen. This is the new crop and the price is less than a month ago. Other fruits and vegetables are at their usual market prices and are to be had in abundance. nn THIRTEEN CASES AND ONE DEATH There were thirteen new cases of in fluenza reported to the city board of health yesterday and one death, that of a child. Mr. Shorten expressed the, wish that the newspapers of the city would still encourage the populace to bear In mind the simple precautionary value of the quarantining of the sick and the imme diate reporting of cases of the disease to his office. "Ogden will continue to hold the up per hand over the epidemic as long as such, precautions aro borne in mind," said the inspector. MASONIC NOTICE Unity lodge No, 18, F. & A.

W Lippincott, who is one of the many members of the Women of American Patriots who have looked after the welfaro of sol diers without immediate relations. Women of this organization, upon the entrance of our country into the war, assumed upon themselves the re sponsibility of making those men with out near relations as happy as pos sible during their time in the service. Letters and other attentions were sent to them in their various camps, and one of these boys, Howard Elsberry, has written to thank these women for their Invaluable kindness. Mr. Ells berry was a resident of Idaho, but en listed with the Ogden contingent and !will make his home in this city upon , his return. I The following is the letter which he wrote Mrs. Lippincott, his godmother: Tho letter bears the date of October 27, Somewhere in France, and follows: "Women of American Patriots, Dear Friends and Mother: "I salute you. We are-in the same war, but each with a different task, for the same purpose wo are doing our bit and you are certainly doing yours, the difference, viz., ours is a sacrifice which money cannot buy, yours is done with money and food. We are well supplied with food, while you folks are very limited in the line of foods. Perhaps It does not strike all of you very hard, but I am posi tive some of you at times notice the food .supplies which you have so free ly given, and the valuable time of which no one but each Individual real izes its worth. Many of you have given until there is nothing left to give. Labor Appreciated "While I have not been In Ogden since the Women of American Patriots was formed, from what I have already read and seen by Ogden papers, you women aro giving your bit as no other person in the world has given; first, your boys, the largest sacrifice, and then, second, to dig deep into your pocketbook. Perhaps you think at times your labor is not appreciated by giving lunches to the boys at the trains. You never know the comfort they receive from the lunches and a warm word. It sure goes deep with the boys. It reminds me that while entraining last summer a lady gave me hor lunch that sho was going to eat on the train. I will certainly remem ber her expression as long as I 1.) e. "While I am not a resident of Og den, but after the war I expect to make my home there with my godmother, Mrs. Lippincott I feel It my duty to tell you women how glad I am that I came from Ogden where you reside and to thank you for myself and the boys who cannot thank you for your wonderful help you have given us in this war, and I wish I could show moro than my pen and paper. Chasing Huns A Specialty "There will be lots of news to tell when we boys get back, but there will ' be lots that words cannot express and get their real meaning. At one timej I I was a member of the 145th battery band and was trausferrd to the Seven teenth. I would certainly like to see some of the 145th boys, but not to trade regiments with them. Since' coming here I have seen four of the' stiffest fronts in Franco, and can say I enjoy chasing Huns as a specialty.! Tho division I belong to has certainly a reputation as fighters. If I could tell you tho fronts we have been on and are on and the division we are In you would certainly know our reputa tion. "Lately we have had some very bad weather, raining nearly every hour, i and traveling is all done by nights, with our big guns making traveling almost impossible. Today the sun has) been out for about two hours, but still it is quite cool. "France does not appeal to the aver age American soldier, as they imagined it would. All of use are more than anxious to get back to the good U. S. A. I have your Christmas present all picked out. It is a handpalnted sau cer taken from the battlefield on this front, and if I could only give you the history of the ground it has been on, am sure it would prove most interest ing. but when I get back I will be proud to tell you all about It. Ruins Make Him Angry "Before my enlistment I heard a re mark, 'I have lost nothing In France 'and am not going to look for anything. If any of those same persons could only see the Invasion of France they would be glad to be able to borrow France for fighting purposes, which would have been inevitable on our own soil in a short time. Here on this front I have seen five inches of wire entangle ments with towns and homes a wreck, where now only piles of debris remain In which only the trench rat could call & home. "Each day we take towns from the Germans only to find the best build ings destroyed by fire or blown up. One cannot know how glad I feel that I am here helping to stop this hell and to know that our homes at home ai safe. At times I feel a bit nervous and wish I were back, but when word conies to move ahead it sure is a great feeling. I do not know how I would , feel to move back on a retreat. We i have never witnessed the feeling yet and I hardly think we shall ever ex perience the feeling. "So you have started a bank account for me. Well, mother, 1 shall sure be glad to make it swell, so will send all the francs I can, starting in on net pay day; but hope that things will soon settle so I can put the dollar ; in and not francs. "You are well, I hope. We are all ( fine hero and hoping to be home soon with our mothers and friends. One ' does not realize what a home is until he is away from anything that looks like home. This afternoon Is quite . peaceable, and wo can still hear the shells come and go. Mail came this ' noon and all the boys have the writing fever. All you can sec is two shoes , upside down sticking out of the tents. , They are all lying flat down writing "Your son, i "PRIVATE HOWARD ELSBERRY "Seventh Field Aftllleryf Battery, B, France." oo Unless you have more dollars than sense, do not expect others to consider your troubles Interesting.
