A number of petitions have been
presented to the general land Office
for the purchase of dead timber with
in certain portions of the South Platte
forest reserve, Colorado. This timber
Is represented to have been killed by
a forest fire, several years ago. Inas-
much as it appears to be rapidly de-
teriorating in value and quantity and
10 q menace. to the surrounding timber,
It is thought best to encourage its dis
posal, as its removal will tend to pro-
mote the better growth Of surround
Ing trees. For these reasons Commits
sioner Hermann has directed that such
portions as are sound enough for COM
mercial purpose shall lie sold, without
advertisement. for one dollar per thou
sand feet, and that such timber as Is
useful for firewood shall Ike sold for
10 cents per cord. The distance from
market and inaccessibility Of the tim
Der is taken into consideration In fix
ing these prices. There is over $1,000
feet of burned timber, good for lum-
her, apd many hundreds of cords Of
firewood. Eadf purchaser will be linz
tied to 100 cords of firewOod.
