RYAN WILL STAY.
Topeka Man Pretty Certain to Keep
Present Position.

Washington, Feb. Thomas Ryan of
Kansas has been assistant secretary of
the interior for eight years, and he bids
fair to break the record in that Office
! by four years more.
Some time since the attention of Rep
| resentative Charles Curtis was called to
/ the matter of the retention of Mr.. Ryan
under the new administration of Presi-
| dent Roosevelt Mr. Curtis investigated
the matter, and said today:
There is no cause for alarm on the
part of the friends of Mr.. Ryan. While
do not speak officially, yet I may say
/ that have discussed the matter with
the president, and it is my firm belief
/ that Mr. Ryan will not be disturbed.
The president is perfectly satisfied with
Mr.. Ryan's administration of his Office,
and his retention is assured"
Mr.. Ryan was appointed eight years
ago largely on the effort of Mr.. Cur
tbs, although, of course, the entire Kan
SaS delegation has always backed him.
Mr.. Ryan, as assistant secretary.
has charge of land and Indian matters
in the department, and, in the absence
of the secretary, frequently acts as the
head of the department. He has had,
at all times, the. entire confidence OF the
secretary and the president In the
matter of the investigation of land
frauds in the west, Mr.. Ryan has been
active in his supervision of the details
connected with the progress.
Mr.. Ryan has had a notable career.
He was a native of New York; and
served in the grade of captain in regi-
ment from Pennsylvania in the war OF
the rebellion. Removing to Kansas at
the close of the war, Mr.. Ryan entered
the practice of law at Topeka; served
continuously from 1867 to 1877 in the
offices of county attorney, and assistant
United States district attorney.
In 1876 Mr.. Ryan was elected to the
house of representatives in congress,
and served until 1889. He was re-elect-
ed in 1888, but resigned in 1889 to ac-
cept the appointment to be the first
ambassador from the United States to
the republic of Mexico. Relinquishing
that Office in 1898, Mr.. Ryan returned to
Topeka, and later spent some time in
New York, though not giving up his
residence in Kansas. In 1897 he was
appointed assistant secretary of the in
terror, which position he has since held
In Topeka, Mr.. Ryan was member
of the famous law firm of Peck, Ryan
& johnson. The senior partner was
George R. Peck; and the Junior mem
Der of the firm was Captain j. B. John-
son. The old firm lasts today, its sue
cessors being WEIGH & WEIGH When
Mr.. Ryan left the firm, during his con-
gressional service, it became Peck

name, Senator Chester I. Long studied

Scott intended to go to Kansas for the
Kansas Day club banquet, and for
other reasons, but the consideration
of the agricultural appropriation bill
at this time prevented him from do

an address before the State Bar as

birds by one stone by taking in the
Kansas Day club meeting also. He
was much disappointed; but his pres

SMALL TIMBER SALES
They Exceed Large Sales by
Fifty to One

One of the most fruitful of the
newer regulations governing the use
of the products of the national forest
reserves is the provision which en-
aDles the small user of timber to
procure what he needs promptly.
Before the provision was made every
wouldbe purchaser of timber, re-
gardless of the amount he desired,
was forced to wait for reference of
his application to Washington. The
formalitieS which attended this ar
rangement under The law often
worked real hardship, and tended
to discourage legitimate use of re-
serve timber by small applicants and
sometimes to encourage its illegiti-
mate use by timber users of all
classes. 1t frequently happened, for
instance, that applications we're
made for the use of timber under
the free-use privilege by those who
were not entitled to free use, and
small users were generally inclined
to avoid dealing with the govern
ment on account of unavoidable for
malities.
Except in California, sales of tim
Der amounting to less than one hun.
dred dollars are now made on the
ground by the forest officers without
delay. In California, the ad-
yertisement required by law is the
only exception. The purchaser is

required only to transmit the pur-
chase price to the special agent, at
Washington, and he may then re-
move the timber. He is, of course,
assigned timber which it is most de-
sired to dispose of, and is compelled,
like all other purchasers of timber,
to observe strictly the regulations of
the forest reserve, which are fully
explained to him by the officer in
charge OF the sale. There are a very
large number of persons who pur-
chase timber in small quantities,
either for uses not included in the
free-use privilege or for manufactur-
ing at local mills to supply the de-
mands of small agricultural com
munities. The prompt, businesslike
consideration which is assured them
has been welcomed by them as a
boon. There are fifty applicants for
small quantities of timber to one ap-
plicant who requires one million
board feet or over
This sort of small business is con-
Stantly on the increase. both abso-
lutely and relatively to larger busi-
ness, and there can be but little
doubt that the regulations on which
it Is based may be counted among
the chief causes which have so much
strengthened the sentiment in favor
of the forest reserves and their ad-
miniStratiOn in the last months.
Rather striking fact which has
developed is that simultaneously
with the increase of small timber
sales there has come a decrease in
the relative number of applicants
for free use. The legal barriers in
the way Of legitimate use of timber
by those who most need it have been
removed, and as consequence it has
become advantageous for those using
small quantities of timber to buy it
from the government.
The restrictions under which the
telling and hauling of logs is done
are as light as is consistent with the
welfare of the forest. Just how i'm
portant these restrictions are is be-
coming better and better understood,
and purchasers who have completed
contract to purchase under them
have sought and secured timber a
second or third time, showing that
logging methods which secure the
safety and reproduction of tie forest
are nevertheless capable of strict OBJ
seryance in practice without loss Of
