The Beverly Farms Athletic Base 
Ball club will play its first game 
with an out of town team tomorrow 
(Saturday) afternoon at the Bev- 
erly Farms playgrounds. The game 
was scheduled to be with the U.S.

been unexpectedly ordered away for 
a few days the game will be played 
a week later. 
NATIONAL FORESTS 
Interesting Data From Office of 
Secretary of Department of 
Agriculture. 
President Taft has just made 
considerable changes in National 
forests in Montana, Arizona, Neva- 
da, Utah, and California through 
Presidential proclamations modify- 
ing the boundary lines. By these 
changes nearly 275,000 acres of land 
are eliminated from the Forests, 
about 65,000 acres are added, and 
about 55,000 acres are transferred 
between two Forests, while a new 
Forest is created by the division of 
an old unit into two. 
The net result is to bring down 
the total gross area of the National 
forests to about 187,400,000 acres, 
of which nearly 27,000,000 acres are 
in Alaska. To a considerable ex- 
tent, however, the reductions, so far 
as land actually owned by the Gov- 
ernment is concerned, are apparent 
rather than real, owing to heavy 
alienations in the tracts eliminated. 
Some 22,000,000 acres of the Na- 
tional forest gross area are not 
owned by the Government. 
The high water mark of the Na- 
tional Forest gross area was reached 
in 1909, when the Forest boundaries 
included over 194,000,000 acres. It 
was then realized, however, that in 
‘making the examinations on which 
the Presidential proclamations creat- 
ing the forests were based the work 
had been too rapid to insure in all 
cases the best boundaries. Some- 
times land which should have been 
ineluded was left out, while at other 
times land was taken in which was 
not best suited to forest purposes. 
Consequently a complete overhaul- 
ing and rectification of the forest 
boundaries was planned, and has 
been going on ever since. By suc- 
cessive proclamations President Taft 
has eliminated nearly 11,000,000 
acres, while he has added about 
4,000,000. acres. 
In Montana the new proclama- 
tions eliminate a total of 116,370 
acres from six Forests—the Custer, 
Absaroka, Blackfeet, Kootenai, 
Lewis and Clark and Flathead— 
while 14,640 acres are transferred 
from the Blackfeet to the Kootenai 
and 40,640 from the Kootenai to 
the Blackfeet, to facilitate adminis-,. 
tration. In Arizona 106,540 acres 
are eliminated from the Coronado 
National forest. In Nevada, 49,840 
acres are eliminated from the Hum- 
boldt and 55,840 acres added, of 
which 12,800 acres are included in 
the new Ruby National forest, com- 
posed principally of that part of the 
old Humboldt lying south of the 
Southern Pacific railroad. In Utah, 
1,340 acres are eliminated from the 
Sevier, while in California, 8,680 
acres are added to the Shasta and 
480 acres to the Klamath.

Strong Pond makes a strong ap- 
peal for closer attention to this 
feature of our life during the hustle 
and bustle of a busy summer season.
