There is no other country In which
forest products are so lavishly used as
IL the United States. On the other
hand, no other country was originally
80 we'll supplied with forest growth.
The census returns show that the per
capita consumption of lumber In this
country has increased for every decade
since 1860 at the rate of from 20 to %
per cent. The United States consumes
of forest products for each inhabitant
double that consumed in Russia. ten
times that of Great Britain. four times
that of France. five times that OF Ger
many, and eight times that OF Italy.
Never mind what our forest resources
are, we are using them up at so rapid
rate that the next generation will find
heavy forest growth as scarce In the
United States as in Europe. and COM
manding fully as high price. The
consumption of saw logs and pulp wood
Is far ahead of their growth. though
cord wood and spout growth are In
creasing faster than the cutting de-
mand.

The state land board has sold large
body of land In Otero county. The ter.
ritory sold is nearly all under Irrigation,
due principally to the efforts OF the Colo
RADIO Land and Water company. This
corporation owns and operates Bob
Creek canal. which takes its rise In the
Arkansas river. about twenty miles east
of Pueblo, and lies above the 20OoC
ncres of land around Ordway.
The land runs into the town and eX'
tends outward toward all points OF the
compass. The highest price per acre OBJ
tanned at the auction was $3.50. and the
lowest $3.50. making an average OF
S4. % per acre. The total amount OF the
sales aggregated S1O9,O10.2I.
The largest lot was purchased by the
Colorado Land and Water company, but
that corporation stands ready to sell II
TO intending settlers ut its cost price,
provided water for irrigation is drawn
from Bob Greek canal. Ten dollars pei
acre Is the water rate. There is no doubt
that the land around Ordway will be
rapidly settled up, as the town has all the
facilities requisite for farming center.

thieves Of the higher class have weak

was a notorious thief and she followed
him without word. Since then sew

The San Francisco Chronicle has spe-
cial Information from San Diego as to
important railway building enterprises
on the west coast of Mexico, from which
the conclusion is drawn that another
year will see the completion of road
to the ports of Topic and Mazatlan. and
possibly San Bias. 1t is learned that the
Central Railway is about to be extended
to a Pacific port. either Mazatlan Or
San Bias, probably the former. The
country between Guadalajara and San
Bias is full of tremendous barrancas,
which have thus far defied the highest
engineering skill, and railroad builders.
after attempting repeated surveys, havo
given up the task, calling that strip OF
country the toughest in North America.
The present plan is. therefore, to avoid
this section and work northward from
the mort of Topic. The Central, after
reaching Tepic, will then extend Its line
north and northeasterly to connect with
A branch Of the International. which
will connect Durango with Mazatlan.
The International is at work on this
branch and It will soon open up rich
mining and sugar country.
