They Must GnaW.

Rats, mice and squirrels unceasing-
ly gnaw at something, not out of pure
as people generally imagine,
but because they are forced to.
Animals of this class, especially.
rats, have teeth which continue to
grow as long as the owner lives. This
being the case, the rodent is obliged
to continue his gnawing SO as to keep
his teeth ground off to a proper length.

"A large oportion of these lands have
been in the heavily timbered belt of the
far Northwest and is of the class of
timber described by the Secretary of
the Interior in his report for the fiscal
year ended, June 80, 1903, in which he
says:
"The Timber and Stone Act will, il
not repealed or radically amended, re-
suit ultimately in the complete destruc-
ton of the timber on the inappropriate
ed and unreserved public lands. The ra-
pidity with which the public timbered
lands are being denuded of their timber
and the opportunity offered under the
Timber and Stone Act for the fraudu-
lent acquisition Of title to public tim
bered lands at the uniform price of
$3.50 per acre when they are in many
Instances worth forty times that ($100)
has been heretofore set forth in the
pages of my annual reports and those
of my predecessors"
Hundred Million Dollar Waste.
But estimating the values only of the
4,709,S60 acres of timber land disposed
of in the last five years, and at only
$25 per acre, the government has, in
that time, parted with the title of land
worth $117,746,50O. The price received
for this land has been at the uniform
rate OF $3.50 per acre, or $11,774,650,
a loss to the government of over $780,
100000. Your committee endorses the
recommendation of the President and
his Public Lands Commission for the re-
peal of this Timber and Stone Act and
the substitution of a rational forest
policy, by which the title to the public
timber lands shall remain forever in
the government, the stumpage only to
be disposed of, at its market value.
Under such plan as this, and under
an agreement whereby one half the
proceeds could be devoted to the For
estry Service and the other half tC
the Irrigation Fund, two policies oil

Land Office, Frederick II. Newell. Chief
Engineer of the Reclamation Service
and Clifford Pinchot. Chief of the
Bureau OF Forestry, has during the
course OF two years made study OF
the public lands condition and has
brought in report which has been
forwarded to Congress by the President
with special message recommending
the repeal Of the Timber and Stone
Act and the substitution of rational
forest policy Of selling only the stump
age from the public timber lands, re-
tanning the lands for future timber
growth; recommending the radical
amendment of the Communication clause
OF the Homestead Act and a like
amendment Of the Desert Land Act in
such manner as to require actual resi-
dence and improvement under both of
the latter named laws, amounting to
their practical repeal.
The provisions of this report are
highly satisfactory to the Forestry and
Irrigation Committee of the National
Board Of Trade, which believes that
their enactment into law, strictly en-
forced, would do away with land and
timber grabbing and promote these pol
1cies on this subject for which the
Board has consistently striven.
The present indefensible land policy
Of the United States is resulting in an
actual money loss to the government
OF tens of millions of dollars annually,
in the denuding of our watersheds and
the destruction of all chances for a
future timber supply, in the building
up OF lordly landed estates in the West
or tens and hundreds of thousands OF
acres in single ownerships, instead OF
providing for the creating of thousands
OF small rural homes-in short in the
mismanagement and waste of the
greatest resource ever possessed by any
nation on earth.
The attention of our lawmakers in
Congress should be urgently called tc
the fact that while they are attempting
economy in the expenditure of money
they are allowing laws to remain II

valuable asset of the nation is being

VALUE OF WIDE TIRES.
The Cost of Hauling Greatly Reduce

Wide tires should be used on all
heavy vehicles which traverse stone
roads, says the Kansas City Star. A
six OF seven inch macadam road will
last longer when wide tires are used
than ten or twelve inch road of the
same material on which narrow tires
are used.
From the limestone quarries at Split
Rock to the works of the reducing
company in Geddes, Onondaga county,
n. Y, is about four and one-half miles.
Three or four years ago the work of
improving this four and one-half miles
of roadway was accomplished. Rough
quarry refuse and for a part of the
distance field stones were used, all
hand broken to two and three inch
sizes This was covered with fine. un-
sifted quarry chips, and crown was
given to the roadway With an elevation
Of about six inches in a width of six
teen feet. Wagons We're built for haul
ing stone over this road with wide
tires and aXles of different length. as
follows: Front tire, seven-eighths of an
inch thick and four inches wide; dis
tance between centers of front wheels.
four feet five inches: the rear wheels
had tires one inch thick and six inches
wide the distance between center Of

How Paper Is Made.

William R. Stewart, in his article
on paper and its Manufacture" III
the October issue of the Technical
World Magazine, describes the process
briefly as follows:
I'm it's broad outline tie process of
paper-making may be described as col.
lecting the raw material pulp,) wheth-
er made from wood, rags, or other sub
stances, diluting with water, forming
a sheet on porus surface, so that the
water may drain off, and drying the
sheet of paper thus formed. Different
materials are used for the pulp to
make different grades of paper, wood
pulp being now used in the manu-
facture of nearly all the fine paper,
straw and manila III making wrapping
papers, etc. But large amount of
paper is given its distinctive char
acter after it leaves the paper mill
by surface coatings with various sub
stances"
