forest of the lower elevations, where
there is less moisture than is found
further up in the mountains. Large
bands of sheep passing and repassing
over restricted areas destroy young pine
seedlings in great number by trampling
them, and, during years of drought,
when the growth of forage is scant, the
sheep are forced by hunger to eat many
plants they would otherwise neglect.
Under these circumstances young pines
are stripped of their buds and foliage,
and are either killed or badly stunted
in growth.
Drought is perhaps the principal fac
tor in determining the distribution Of
this pine on the lower elevations. Ordi-
narily yellow pine produces seed plenti-
fully every second or third year, but
in this section drought often interferes
with the development of the seed or
prevents their termination. If a good
seed year meets a moist season excellent
reproduction results, but if drought con-
tinues for several years, seeds are not
produced or very many of the seedlings
die Yellow pine is, however, a hardy
tree, and if the seedlings obtain a years
growth a good number may live through
succeeding droughts.
The study which has brought out
these facts reveals conditions and pos
sibilities of great Importance to Col
orado, Arizona and New Mexico. The
forests of this region are valuable

MIR. Newman certainly had very
tough time with the grip, and it Is no
wonder that he thinks that the remedy
that cured him can't be beat. His case
shows how profoundly grip poisons the
system and how obstinately it resists all
ordinary efforts to eradicate it.
Few cases can be worse than Mr.. New
mans for he had head, heart and stom-
ach troubles combined with great weak
ness. He recently said:
"The attack Of grip which had eight
years ago left me in a very bad fix. I
became nearly deaf and my head ached
continually and was filed with Kissing
and roaring sounds. My heart futtered
and had regular running-away spells.
My stomach was so sore that could
hardly bear touch on that part Of my
body. I had great deal Of pain in tho
region Of my liver and the doctor said
that organ was enlarged. My kidneys
ached SO at times that I could hardly
stand"
Didn't you give up and go to bed?"
he was asked.
emo, I simply wouldn't. My head
and my back ached dreadfully, but I
obstinately dragged myself about, kept
growing worse and finally ran down to
almost nothing"
"What did You do to get relief?"
"First l tried a doctor, but he did me
no good. Then I took all kinds of ad.
vertised preparations but nothing proved
helpful until began to use DR.. Williams
Pink Pills. AS soon as I got them I
knew that had at last hit the right
remedy for my case. The very first box
did more for me than anything else
had ever taken. They gave me relief
right away and in three months they
positively cured me. I think I was
scarcely ever III better health in my life
than am at present"
Mr.. William a. Newman Is a WELL
known Camden county farmer, living at
Sagrada, Missouri. His case was Sc
we're test for any remedy, but DIR. Will
Gams' Pink Pills met every requirement..
Other remedies merely drive the poison
of the grip into hiding, but DR.. Williams
Pink Pills drive it out of the system.

in this territory, supported mainly by
Denver trade and capital. A great part
of the product of these mills is consumed
railroad affords the principal means of
transportation and is one of the largest
users of the timber for ties, bridges and
general construction work.
The second region is in west central
New Mexico, in the Zuni mountains.
This timber area is smaller than the
former-only so miles in length by IS
miles wide. The stand of pine is more
uniform than that of the Colorado for
est. however, and over large part of
the area it is of better development
The Colorado timber is estimated to
yield from 5000 to 1000 board feet per
acre; the Zuni timber will average from
1000 to 5000 board feet per acre.
Stands of from 10000 to $4,000 feet per
acre occur quite frequently in the Zuni
mountains, but are rare in Colorado.
LAUNDERING has just commenced in the
Zuni mountains, and only one mill of
consequence is working at present. The
logs are hauled by rail over 100 miles
to the mill. The output will be largely
finished material, which will be con-
sumed locally, or shipped to nearby
states and into Mexico.
The third and largest region occupies
strip from 20 to so miles wide and over
800 miles long, extending from central
Arizona southeast into New Mexico.
The greater part of this tract is includ-
ed within federal forest reserves. The
timber is practically continuous over
the whole section, and is pure yellow
pine, if canyons, mountain tops; and
some dry slopes, where spruce. fir and
juniper occur, are excepted. This is the
largest area of pure pine forest in the
southwest Owing to the varied to-
Biography and to local conditions. the
stand of timber is not uniform, but at
its best it approaches or equals that of
the Zuni mountains.
There are two large mills in Arizona
cutting the pine from private lands
within the boundaries of the forest re-
serve.
Fire, overgraZing and drought are the
principal evils with which the pine for
ests of the southwest have to contend
Fires have been universal, though of
ate they usually have been confined to
restricted areas. One fire rarely does
serious damage to mature timber. but
many of the Old trees now standing are
more or less injured by repeated burn
ings, and where conditions have been
favorable, as in dense stands with much
underground and litter, mature timber
has occasionally been killed outright
The greatest fire loss has been through
the destruction of young pines from a
few inches in height to trees under six
inches in diameter.
Overgrazing is serious hindrance to
tree reproduction. 1t is an evilof COM
paratively recent development, and its
effects are most frequently seen in the

Private Car Lines.

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought un-
der the jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
president is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question Of
excessive charges Is a matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment Of
rental for property

TYPICAL PINE TREE IN COLORADO.
for when the hills are barred by injudi-
cious numbering, fire, or overgrazing,
the storm waters rush rapidly to the
bottom bearing great quantities of soil
and rock, or the snow melts with unde-
sirable rapidity under the direct rays
of the sun.
For successful reproduction of pine
on numbered areas. fire and overgraZ-
ing, the two comfortable agencies most
destructive at the seeding stage. must
be controlled. On the most slopes and
high elevations seed bearing and repro
duction are relatively abundant, forage
plants are plentiful and water holes and
streams are numerous, hence there is
little danger to seedlings from tram
ping or browsing; as is evidenced by
the very excellent reproduction often
found in places which have been sheep
grazed for years. Here fires are the
greatest danger, as there is more grass
and litter to feed them than at lower
levels and on dry slopes. A very care
full fire patrol of such territory, keeping
close watch on sheep herders and
campers during the periods when the
forest is free from snow, will insure
good reproduction of pine over these
moist areas.

~ yellow pine. 1t is known
locally as Black Jack, and
in the lumber trade is frequently called
white pine. The tree furnishes material
for all kinds of local construction; the
towns of Durango, Albuquerque and
Flagstaff are monuments to its exceed
ing usefulness and value. The quantity
OF western yellow pine lumber shipped
to other parts of the country at present
is small. but it is rapidly increasing
Owing to the distance from the eastern
markets shipments are largely in the
form of highly finished material, such as
doors and moulding. These enter into
successful competition in the Chicago
market with similar products made of
white pine. which the better grades of
western yellow pine much resemble.
In the southwest this species is found
scattered over the slopes of the Rocky
mountains at attitudes between 5000
and 5000 feet. There are three regions,
however, where it extends over large
areas in practically pure sands.
The first of these is in extreme south
western Colorado and northwestern
