montana Companies Timber Sup
ply Cut Down by Smith.
WASHINGTON, April s. - Secretary
HOke Smith today rendered a decision
on the question of revoking the permits
recently granted TO the Big Blackfoot
Milling company and the Bitter Root
Development company TO cut 80 per
cent of the timber from the gov
ernment land in Montana. The de-
ciSiOn is important, as it indicates
what the policy of the government will
be as to the preservation of the West
ern forests. The tract selected 10y the
iirst-named company was a narrow
strip extending fifty or sixty miles up
both sides Of the Big BlackfOOt
river. The then secretary granted
the first permit TO cut Jan. IS.
1882, and upon a second pc
tItiOn this permit was extended Feb. Is,
1893. to about twenty-five sections. Sec
rotary Smith finds that this last permit
was illegally granted, inasmuch as the
requirement as to advertising was not
complied with. After giving a brief
history of the transaction, he finds that
the facts require the permit to be re
YOked. In conclusion the secretary
says:
lit is therefore directed that the Big
BlackfO0t Milling company and the Bit
ter Root Development company be each
allowed to select four sections from the
number Of those covered by the permit
of Jan. Is, 1892 and may Issue accord
ing to the permit Of February, 1923,
10 allow said company TO cut from
the sections covered until Jan. /,

"Why, Mr.. Snifkins! How do you

Mr.. SnifkinS looked up at the fair

OF course he would. He would be

she was making her purchase. Then he
noticed her fumbling about her pockets.
"How stupid" she remarked. ~

"Well," addressing Snifkins, II hate to

"Oh, certainly; with pleasure" re-
piled the young man, handing out his

This is quite su fficient," she
answered.
"Thank goodnessW mentally ejacu-

by her side carrying the punches of

Then he remembered how hun cry he

ask him to dinner. AS for the young

walked along, and when they had
reached her home the episode of Sniff

response to her ring, had opened the
door. DO come and see me some time.

PINE LAND PILFERING.
Secretary Smith Ready to Smoke
Out The Thieves.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April s. - The war
against the Minnesota pine land ring
commenced by Congressman Baldwin is
growing more interesting every day.
That the people in Northern Minnesota
who know the practical workings of this
combine are taking an interest in this
matter is shown by the number of letters
received from that section by the
Interior department. Hardly day
passes without a fresh batch
OF communications Teciting specific
cases in which pine lands have been
gObbled up or timber stolen. In one of
the complaints received from Park
Rapids, the charge Is made that two big
Minneapolis lumbermen have obtained
nearly all the valuable pine lands in
that localit" by fraudulent means. 1t
is alleged that they have made a prac-
tice of hiring men to homestead valuable
lands. These men are in their employ
and during the slack SEASONS,
spend few weeks on their claims.
When able to prove up, the pine land
kings furnish the money, and at once
receive the deeds from the squatter.
While this Is, on its face, Il prOper-loOk-
ing transaction, the department has not
hesitated to hold all such lands for can
collation. and Te-entry upon a showing
of the facts. Mai. Baldwin has an ap-
pointment with Secretary Smith Mon
day. at which time the charges against
the Red Lake timber appraisers
viii be considered. There is now no
doubt that reappraisement of the Red
Lake timber will be ordered, as Secre-
tary Smith does not believe in the
theory which Otis Staples has followed
in making his estimates.
IF the timber cannot be sold for s.
per Thousand the way to correct this is
by legislation fixing the minimum price
alta lower figure" said Secretary Smith,
land not by making the estimates 80
per cent lower than they should be-"
II Maj. Baldwin has his way in this
lmatter, The Red Lake pine will not fall
at once into the hands Of three or four
big operators, but will be sold as needed
to meet the demands of the tributary
country, thus giving men OF limited
means chance to engage in the bust
ness. In speaking of the condition
of affairs in Northern Minnesota,
Maj. Baldwin said: II was
long ago convinced that there
was great deal OF corruption in this
pine land business, but had no idea of
The terrible condition Of affairs until
quite recently. and / would not believe
4 great many of the reports until the

How He Lost Square Meal

Young Snifkins had been travelling in

He had managed to exc oat a bare
living by making sketches from time to
time for an enterpriSing firm who used
his drawings to illustrate their extern
sive advertisements.
But with the close of the Christmas
season poor Snifkins found his occupa-
ton gone, the firm having notified him
that his services were no longer re-
quired.
Snifkins left his room one morning
last week feeling that the last straw
had been applied. He could no longer
bear the burden. Visions of suicide by
various methods began to fit through

him that he was hungry.

Treating With Tammany.

WASHINGTON, April S.-That Presi-
dent Cleveland is willing to treat with
Tammany is the inference drawn from
a visit paid to the White House this
morning by Lieut.. Gov. Sheehan. The
mere fact of Mr.. Sheehan's call is not
the basis for this assumption, which be-
came a belief to those who saw Mr..
Sheehan enter the presidents room,
but has a firm foundation in the knowl-
edge that Mr.. Cleveland agreed to re-
ceive the representatives of Tammany
Hall next week, in order that they
might talk over politics in New York.
The day set for the interview is Friday.
