With this forest lieu land law upon
the statute books it is question
whether the creation of additional
forest reserves does not become more
of a menace to forestry and irrigation
than good.
Are Facing a Timber Famine.
The most eminent forest authorities
tell us that at the present rate of for
est destruction there will be no forests
in the United States within 40 years
There is no more certain way to bring
this condition about than to continue
the operation of the forest reserve
scrip law and the timber and stone
law.
With a wise forest policy by which
the title of the remaining public for
est land shall remain in the govern
ment, allowing the sale of the stump
age, as recommended to congress by
President Roosevelt, thus assuring a
second growth of timber and the en-
durance of the water supply, an easy
solution of this great problem is Of

things of incalculable injury to the
country. Such has been the effect
of law passed q few years ago Great
Ing what is known as Forest Reserve
Land Scrip. Few people throughout
the country, especially i'm the East,
know anything Of this law, yet its
workings have been perhaps the most
iniQuitous of any land law ever ad-
ministered by any government in any
age. II has resulted in millions and
tens of millions of dollars worth of
the most magnificent merchantable
timbered lands in the world passing
from the government into the hands
of lumber syndicates and spectators
for which little and in some cases alb
solutely no value has been received
by the government.
On its face the forest lieu land law
was a beneficient measure, and so
the majority of congressman thought
when they enacted 1t. 1t provided
that where the government created
forest reserve and settlers already had
their homes in that reserve, they
could exchange their lands for any
other public lands which they might
select, the idea being that the forest
reservation, by stopping further set
tlement, would condemn them to iso-
lation. Then the law was made 10

all timber land dealers:

Pacific Hardware Is
Likely to be
Absorbed.

A deal is pending whereby the Pa
cific Hardware may be absorbed by E
| o. Hall & Sons Co., and T. H. Davies
g. Co. The proposition was made more
| than a month ago at which time it was
should take over the entire business
As the Pacific Hardware Company has
a big stock on hand this was consider
ed too large a matter for one firm and
Davies & Co., agreed to go in with
Hall & Sons. Each firm appointed a
hardware expert and these two have
been going over the stock of the Pa
! cific with the expert of the latter firm
to determine just how the stock stands.
The Pacific Hardware Company is to
have meeting at the end of this
brought up for consideration. The Dill
lingham interests in the Pacific are
quite heavy and it is the liquidation of
these which has caused the proposition
to absorb the whole business into that
of Hall & Co. and Davies & Co.
The Pacific Hardware Company con-
trolls a large share of the hardware
business of the islands. The company
is the result of the merging of the old
Pacific Hardware Co.. with Castle &
Cookies former hardware department.
Castle & Cookies big business with the
plantations was turned over to the con-
solidated firm. The company has a
tremendous trade and is on firm foot

The money was that of Mr.. Ckurton

man to escape the penalty.
Treasurer Campbell and Auditor
Fisher were with Tax Assessor Holt
when the receipts were totalled up.
Mr.. Holt referring to the collections
taken in on Monday. which amounted
to s1s5, 1886, said it was the largest
single days receipts that he has known
since he has been connected with the
tax office. The total collections to
Monday night for 1904, dating from
November 1, amounted to 1888. S49.15
so that this years receipts are more
than those of 1908. Yesterdays collec-
tfons amounted to s104. 4S6.23.
Tax Assessor Holt said last night:
''The receipts this year are much bet

hard times. The taxes already amount
to more than in the same period last
year, and there are many tax appeals

MADE BIG CATCH
Cass> Lake Sp0rtsmen Make A
\ Fine Haul of Muskallonge
This Week.

.Cass, Lake, May II: Especial
to the Pioneer. The first catch.
OF big fish was made here on
Tuesday evening, when five large
muskallonge were taken from
Cass Lake with hooks and lines.
Alex kittson, the vetern guide,
James and Robert Fisher and.
two other men succeeded in
catching the fish. They were
near the shore Of Cedar Island,
which is in Cass Lake, three
miles east of the boat landing.
All of the fishermen are old
hands at the angling game, and
they are well acquainted with the
habits Of the muskallonge and
where they feed. One Of their
favorite spots is on the shore Of
Cedar Island, and during the:
past three years many large
specimens have been caught
there. This is the season Of the
year when they are in shallow
water, and they bite almost any
thing. They succeeded in catch:
ing five muskallonge, the largest
of which tipped the scales at ex-
actly "a pounds, and the smallest
weighed % pounds. The state
game and fish commission has
been trying to get some musl1al-
longe at Lake Bemidji, to exhibit
at the st. Louis Worlds Fair,
butthegame warden las reported
that he was unable to get a
single specimen. The game
warden at Cass Lake has written
to Executive Agent Fullerton, Of
fering to secure several from
Cass Lake. There are expert
enced men here who assert that
they can be secured with a net
if wanted by the game and fish
commission.
