Sales of Timber on Forest Re-
SerVatiOnS,

So far it has not been possible to
practically enter upon the work Of
conducting sales of timber, as pro-
vided for in the act of June A,
1897. The subject demands, how
ever, immediate attention as a
leading feature of forest admins
tration, and as such is now receiv-
ing careful consideration with a
view to inaugurating a rational sys-
tenn of timber cutting, which, while
keeping in view the improvements
for forest products, will supply
local demands for the latter, and
at the same time yield a fair return
in money to the Government. The
work is one which will require, to
certain extent, experience and
training on the part of forest Off
GERS, since otherwise the forests
may suffer seriously as the result
of the operations. From Report
of Secretary Of the Interior.

Dear Sir:-Your remarks about
the gambling bill in your letter of
March Both, l can assure you are
fully appreciated, and let me say in
reply that a billiard table or pool
table is not a gambling device un-
less actually used for gambling.
There are a great many devices"
that may be used innocently and
they do not come within the ban of
the law unless actually used for
gambling.

lands first opened his sack we
thought he had been sampling the
Cleveland dumps and was playing
a GOSH ON us; but further con-
versatiOn soon revealed that the
Young Buffalo is bona-fide loca-
ton, and confirmed the impression
we have entertained for years that
the same mineral belt of which the
Cleveland is the eastern extremity
extends westward through the
Fish Lake country and on to the
Buffalo Hump.
The vein on the Young Buffalo
is eight feet wide between walls
and carries about foot of decom-

ToNIeHT's COUNCIL MEETING.
Number of Important Matters Are
Scheduled to Come UP.

Select council is to meet tonight to
deal with a number OF important mat.
ters. Chief among them is the propo-
sition to change the specifications for
the South Side sewer, so as to cheaper
its construction and make 1t possible
for Contractor Koons to undertake the
job at Dunn Bros figures.
The change contemplated is the sub
stitution of brick for iron pipe at a
number of places where the one would
be equally as serviceable as the other.
The recent large increase I'm the cost
of iron pipe Is responsible for the pro-
posed change. Contractor Rooms has
submitted his bond to City Solicitor
Vosburg as an earnest of his willing
ness to take the contract IL the change
In specifications is made. City En-
gineer Phillips and the South Side
property holders agree to the change.
The nomination of ex-Common Coun-
Gilman Roland Thomas, of the Fourth
ward, to succeed p. J. O'Boyle as street
commissioner will be presented. There
is no certainty that it will be con-
firmed. Two of the selectmen, II. T.
Fellows and Richard Williams, want
the position themselves.
The nomination Of j. Carpenter as in
spector of the Sanderson avenue pave
will also be sent In by Mayor Moir.
An ordinance taxing itinerant mer-
chants 5000 a month, under the pro-
visions of the act passed at the last
Legislature, is being drafted by City
Solicitor Nosburg and will likely come
up at tonights meeting.
