USE OF NATIONAL FORESTS TO THE USER OF TIMBER. What happens to the timber and wood? The timber and stone act does not apply in a National Forest. The title to lands valuable chiefly for timber can not pass from the Government. But are the timber and wood locked up? Very far from it. The timber is there to be used, now and in the future. It is given away, for domestic use, to the man with a home and to the prospector developing his claim. They get it for the asking, free of charge. When wanted for commercial purposes, timber is sold to the small man and to the big man—sold promptly and at a reasonable cost. The small man can buy a few thousand feet; the big man can buy many million feet, provided it is a good thing for all the people to let him purchase a large amount, but not otherwise. The local demand is always considered first. There is no chance for monopoly, because the Secretary of Agriculture must by law sell as much or as little as he thinks best, to whom and at whatever price he thinks will best serve the interests of all the people. Thus the timber is there, first of all, to be used. The more it is used, the better. Far from being locked up, it is, on the contrary, opened up, and opened up on fair terms to all alike. When it is on the open public domain it is often very hard and the counties in which they live withdrawing a great deal of from taxation. They say that the lands were left open to private hands there would be no more taxable property for the port of school and road district. The national government of Canada pays no taxes. But it does nothing better. It pays those counties in which the forests are located per cent of all the receipts from sale of timber, use of the range various other uses, and it does every year. It is a sure and safe income, because the resources national forests are used in such way that they keep coming with a break. Congress saw that money returns would soon be paid should not exceed 40 percent of the county's tax receipts other sources. Taxes from private timber on the other hand, are ordinarily temporary returns, because the lands are logged they actually left to burn up and be vacant and barren, quite valuable for purposes of taxation. The county which is partly covered national forest is better off than which is not. In 1906 the native forests paid the county school road funds over $75,000. The amount will be almost doubled year. THE WHOEE RESULT. Taking it altogether, then, it be seen that a national forest does act like a wall built around the domain, which locks up its land resources and stops settlement and dustry. What it really does is to the public domain, with all its re much or as little as he thinks best, to whom and at whatever price he thinks will best serve the interests of all the people. Thus the timber is there, first of all, to be used. The more it is used, the better. Far from being locked up, it is, on the contrary, opened up, and opened up on fair terms to all alike. When it is on the open public domain it is often very hard and sometimes impossible for the small man to get it and hold it, because he is shoved aside by the big timber corporations with which he can not compete. On National Forests the Government holds the timber with a special view to its use by the small user. At the present time ninetenths of the timber sales on National Forests are for amounts less than $500. In 1906 75,000,000 board feet were given away and 700,000,000 board feet were sold. TO THE USER OF THE RANGE. What happens to the range? Most of the timber land in the West is good range for live stock. This range has to be included in the National Forests, because it goes with the timber and cannot be separated from it. Is it shut out from use? Quite the contrary. It is grazed by cattle, sheep, and horses just as it always has been. It is one of the resources and is there to be used. At present it is used by about 1,500,000 cattle and horses and 6,000,000 sheep. The government protects it from being burned up or from being overcrowded and overgrazed, prevents disputes between the owners of stock, and sees that each owner gets the use of that range to which he has the best right. The small man with a home in or near a National Forest gets the first chance. TO THE USER OF WATER. What happens to the water? Nothing, except that the flow is steadier. The creation of a national forest has no effect whatever on the THE WHOEE RESULT. Taking it altogether, then, i be seen that a national forest doct act like a wall built around the t domain, which locks up its land resources and stops settlement and dustry.

And more than it makes these vast mountain regigreat deal more valuable, and if them a great deal more valusimply by using them in a careful with a little thought about the f WHAT THEY ARE FOR.

They are for present ue use a few years ahead, and for long time ahead. It is easy to d picture of the west, say twentyfifty years from now.

It these great resources become scarce or hard to get, growth and prosperity would verely handicapped. National forests keep these resoucoming in abundance by using wisely at present. Production.—The permanent of a country comes from the so insure permanent wealth the so be kept productive. Agricl lands are managed so as to prod most valuable crops, year after without a break. Forest land should be managed so as to prod most valuable crops of timber wood, year after year, without ruption. Without a plentiful, and continuous supply of wood sees that each owner gets the use of that range to which he has the best right. The small man with a home in or near a National Forest gets the first chance. TO THE USER OF WATER. What happens to the water? Nothing, except that the flow is steadier. The creation of a national forest has no effect whatever on the laws which govern the appropriation of water. This is a matter governed entirely by state and territorial laws. TO THE OTHER USERS. How can the land itself be used? The land itself can be used for all purposes. The main thing is that the land, as well as what grows on it, must be used for the purpose for which it is most valuable. On it may be built stores, hotels, residences, power plants, mills, and many other things. All these are advantages to national forests, because they help to get the fullest use out of the land and its resources. Railroads, wagon roads, trails, canals, flumes, reservoirs, and telephone and power lines may be constructed whenever and wherever they are needed, as long as they do no unnecessary damage to the forest. Improvements of this kind help to open up the country, and that is what is wanted. TO THE TAXPAYER. What happens to county taxes? People who are unfamiliar with the laws about national forests often argue that they work hardships on Production.—The permanent lands are managed so as to produce most valuable crops, year after year without a break. Forest lands should be managed so as to produce most valuable crops of timber wood, year after year, without ruption. Without a plentiful supply of wood culture and all its dependent industries must suffer. And in regions of rainfall, without a plentiful and flow of water for irrigation, a ture is either impossible or unable. National forests from their own produce always the greatest amounts and the most valuable timber, wood, and forage; and tests themselves make the soil surrounding country produce the best and most useful agriculture by supplying it with a steady water for irrigation and by furnishing settlers with an abundance of ber, and wood, and forage, for local business use. Homes.—Homes are of vitalance to the west, and to the country. A land without home worth living in. What the wee is people who come to stay. The who skins the land and moves the country more harm than good may enrich himself and a few for a very brief time, but he keeps land. He cares nothing for the cause he does not stay in the city but moves on to new fields and the skinning process. It is he the greatest enemy of the home. We carry a complete line of comments: Wm. F. Lutz Co. S. A. in which they lie by a great deal of land. They say that if the left open to pass into there would be much property for the sup- and road districts. The government of course is.

Thus a is partly covered by a ist is better off than one In 1906 the national the county school and over $75,000. This be almost doubled this Growing Importance of West. It is felt throughout the West that the present visits of President Roosevelt to the Mississippi Valley, and of Secretary Root to Mexico, have greater significance than the average citizen realizes. The tours of these distinguished men, taken together with other important events, indicate that the "Star of Empire" really is taking its course westward, and that not only the Pacific Coast, but Chicago and its great tributary territory in the Middle Western States are destined soon to play a most important part in the economics of the world. Sub rosa, there is much jealousy in New York over the visit of the President and his trip down the Mississippi. The large commercial ports of the Atlantic hardly look with complacency upon the results that are expected from this tour of the Chief Executive. The construction of a deep waterway connecting the Great Lakes with the Gulf of Mexico, for the continuous passage of freighters of deep draught will inevitably turn much commerce from Atlantic to Gulf ports. Such a highway of commerce, it is belived here, will promote the growth and material interests of Chicago wonderfully, and take from the prestige of New York, Boston, Baltimore and other ports. Events of the day show the irresistable trend of affairs—the trend from East to West. While the President is taking his ride down the "Father of Waters," and making speeches to his countrymen, the visit of Secretary Root to Mexico may be overshadowed somewhat in popular interest, but its prime importance will not be obscured long. Upon his return to Washington, a few weeks hence, the Secretary of State will have visited personally all the great nations of the South.
