CONGRESS ADDS TO NATIONAL 
FOREST. 
Nearly 17,000 acres have just 
been added by an act of Congress 
to the Caribou national forest, Idaho. 
This is one of the first of such ad- 
ditions through congressional action, 
and is the largest so far made by 
direct legislation. 
Those who have followed the na- 
tional forest movement in this coun- 
try will recall that most of the for- 
ests have been created through pres- 
idential proclamation, which set 
aside, for timber growing or for 
water protection, certain areas of 
the public domain. In March, 1907, 
however, congress passed a law that 
no further additions should be made 
to the national forest areas in the 
states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, 
Oregon, Washington and Wyoming, 
except through congressional ac- 
tion. 
Since’ July, 1909, residents of the 
city of Montpelier, Idaho, have been 
petitioning to have this 17,000 acres 
added to the Caribou national for- 
est, because the area includes the 
watershed of the stream which fur- 
nishes the city’s water supply. Not 
being within a national forest, the 
tract was given over to unregulated 
grazing and other usages which re- 
sulted in stream pollution and _ be- 
came a serious menace to health. 
The citizens of Montpelier, at sev- 
eral times subsequent to their first 
efforts in 1909, renewed their pe- 
tition; and the act just passed rep- 
resents the successful outcome of 
their efforts. 
B. F. Kerra’s THEATRE. 
“Wiaddy,” “Mollie,” and “Tony,” 
Miss Orford’s wonderful trio of train- 
ed elephants, towards the purchase of 
whom the children of New England 
contributed $6,500 that they might 
become permanent inhabitants of the 
Franklin Park Zoo, will enter upon 
the second and positively last week 
of their engagementat B. F. Keith’s 
Theatre on Monday afternoon, May 
18th. These three elephants are not 
only the most famous trained animals 
in the world, but they perform feats 
of intelligence that no other pach- 
yderms have ever been taught to do. 
The elephants are tremendous favor- 
ites especially with the children and 
the afternoon houses at B. F. Keith’s 
have been composed almost entirely 
of youngsters, who laughed and ap- 
plauded the antics of the elephants in 
the most amusing fashion. As a spe- 
cial feature, Mr. Keith has arranged 
to present every child with a souvenir 
baby elephant, an exact model of cute 
little “Tony.” The surrounding bill 
is exceptionally attractive to the chil- 
dren. Bud Fisher, creator of “Mutt 
and Jeff,’ and the most famous of 
American cartoonists will draw some 
original pictures. There will be other 
acts of merit.
