Chittim is King.

A special from Chehalis, Wash, to
the Portland Telegram says:
Lewis county has recently become
the active center of the cascara bark
business. A few months ago William
Aldous and A. T. Peterson of Toledo.
Lincoln county, Oregon, came to the
county and made purchases of num-
Der of fine tracts of cascara, paying
mere song for the bark on each separ-
ate piece.
"Within few weeks a large number
of purchasers from Oregon and other
sections have appeared on the scene
and have endeavored to purchase the
bark. They are now Offering much
higher price than at first, but are not
finding the ranchers so ready to sell.
The latter have become thoroughly
aroused by the great anxiety and large
number OF the purchasers, and some of
Them have commenced to imagine that
they have fortune in their cascara
bark and are therefore slow to sell. A
number of the buyers are now purchas,
Ing the land outright in order to get the
bark. A few purchasers are in the
Held to buy the cured bark, and these
are offering from to 71a cents per
pound. From present indications a
large amount of the bark will be har>
vested in Lewis county this year."
A special from Kalama, WASH, to the
same paper says:
Spectators have been quite busy of
late, trying to contract for chittim bark
from land owners. One proposition is
to contract for all that is offered at from
8 to Z cents per pound for dry bark, de-
livered at railroad or river. Another
proposition is to buy the bark on the
tree at from q to l cent per pound.
Chittim trees are growing scarce, and
it is certain the supply will soon be ex-
hausted unless steps are taken to pre-
serve it. Owners of land we'll stocked
with chlttim regard it as q valuable
property. A chittim tree one foot i'm
diameter is worth as much in the forest
as a fir tree four times as large. One
pound of chittim bark for which 5
cents is offered, will make one pound
of fluid extract, which sells at whole.
sale for 81 per pound, and the cost of
manufacture should not exceed 25 cents
per pound.
"The ruling price for the bark for a
number of years has been from IL to 8
cents per pound, which did not more
than pay for the peeling, aud the owner
got nothing at all for his bark. The
demand for the chittim bark is very
great, as it is prescribed by all regular
physicians almost daily, in all countries
of the civilized world. besides being the
active ingredient in great many pat
ent medicines. The worlds supply
must be obtained from the Pacific
Coast, as it does not grow anywhere
else. The bark is not used for two years
alter tits removed from the tree, as the
new bark contains ferment that rem
ders It's action harsh, which is much
modified by the curing process. On
that account, bark can be safely held
for higher price, it being only neces-
sary to keep it in dry place. The
chlttim tree is probably the most valu-
able medicinal tree, Indigenous to the
United States, and the bark should
bring 25 cents per pound at least"

the United States which will en-
able him to present the matter to
Congress for action.
There is but little question as to
what the report will be from this
commission Too much testimony
has been presented, during a pc
riod of not less than twenty years,
showing not only fraud and gross
violations of these laws, but the
more startling fact by reason of
their fundamental defects it has
never been possible, since their
enactment, to prevent frauds un
der them. There is no partisan
ship to the question. 1t cannot
be said by one set of politicians that
the other crowd has not admins
tered and enforced these laws.
There have been some pretty good
commissioners of the General
Land Office and some pretty good
administrations during the past
twenty years and yet enormous
frauds against people have been
continuously consumated under
these laws. The great Kern Co.
Land Co, Ranch in the San Joa-
quin valley in California was so
acquired under the Desert Land
Act, and is now a great tract of
four hundred thousand acres con-
trolled and operated by one family
instead of being settled up into
thousands of small farms of from
FIVE to forty acres each.
The next move is for a quick
and full report on the part of this
commission which will throw any
additional light possible on this
question. SO long as matters are
delayed the public lands are dis
appearing into the nav of the
grabbers at the rate of two mil
lions acres a month.

PROTECT THE FORESTS
Forests at Head of Streams Conserve the
Water Fall.

The forthcoming report of the
Irrigation Reclamation Service
calls attention to the great neces-
sity for the protection of the head
waters of streams. 1t says:
Zone of the most important mat
tiers in connection with the per
manent development Of the water
resources of the country is the
protection of the catchment ba-
sins from destructive influences.
The headwaters of many of the
important streams are already in
cluded within the forest reserves
and some of the important reser-
voir sites are thus guarded from
injury. The forest reserve boun
daries should be extended to in
clude the country from which
comes the principal part of the
rainfall This land usually has no
value for cultivation, is rugged
and suitable only for the produc
ton of trees"
The belief is gaining ground at
Washington that not only should
the forest reserves be extended to
this degree, but that the entire re-
naming public forest lands should
be permanently reserved, and that
any timber cut therefrom should
be under government supervision,
thus absolutely insuring the water
supply, both for irrigation and
power as we'll as for municipal or
any other need. The scores of
denuded and bare mountain rang
es in western states, once. thiCkly
covered with spruce and fir attest
to the baneful operation of our
present timber laws.

PRESIDENTS RECOMMEND
his Late Message Reiterates Statment in Re-
gard to Land Laws.

The public land frauds and the
question of land law repeal come
in for a good portion of the Presi-
dents message. The President
reiterates and emphasizes his
statements of last year that the re-
naming public lands should be
held inviolable for the use and
benefit of the genuine homemaker.
Realizing the increased public at
tention which has been drawn to
the subject he announces the ap-
pointment of a commission consist
ing of w. A. Richards, commits
sioner of the general land Office,
Clifford Pinchot, United States
Forester, and +. H. Newell Unit
ed States photographer, and in
charge of the Reclamation Service,
to submit report on the operation
of the timber and stone act, the
communication clause of the old
homestead act and the desert land
act. This commission is now at
work and it is hoped that this
same committee will make a
speedy report to the President of
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1904-02-06
