Land Ci.ice. Frederick Ii. Newell, Chief
Engineer OF tho A.C-!aMat!on Service
and GlHord PIuclot. Chief OF the
Bureau OF Forestry, has during The
course OF two years Lade study o.
the pubnc lands condition and has
brought in a report winch has been
forwarded to Congress ty the President
with a special message recommending
the repeal OF the Timber and stone
Act and the substitution OF Il rational
forest policy OF selling only the stump
age from the pubic timber lands, re-
tanning tie lands for future timber
growth; recommending the radical
amendment of the comnutation clause
OF the Homestead Act and 4 like
amendment Of the Desert Land Act in
such manner a. TO require actual resi-
derce 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 ems
forced. would do away with land and
timber grabbing and promote these pol
icies on this subject for which the
BOARD mas consistently SLIlNGu.
The present indefensibe 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 q
future timber supply, in the building
up of lordly landed estates in the West
of 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 to
the fact that while they are attempting
economy in the expenditure of money,
they are allowing laws to remain in
force under which by far the most
valuable asset of the nation is being
recklessly wasted.
Under the Timber and Stone Act.

NICK LONGWORTH'S FITHER.

| Interesting inSiuSnts u Lis.


Congressman Nick Longworth. the
President son-in-aw, is a millionaire
OF CINCINNATI. His family is one OF
the oldest ana most aEis,Uc.%tic OF that
city. HIS father, Judge Lousw worth, was

posure on an inauguration day.
Judge LongwortA was man not only
beloved, but brilliant. HIS courtship

six years old. She was then little Sue

name. and people wondered what il
meant Some said it stood for Ciucin-

ing Years later. he told this story:
As a boy. he had fallen in love with
Sue Walker. and contided his Affection

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
uustry alone. in the Piedmont regions
OF North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia is shown by the statistics of
the mills operated by the water power
derived from the streams having their
sources in these mountains. In these
three states there are 1G3 mills so
operated, with a combined capital stock
Of $33,000,O 900. with 2,770,000 spindles
and 50,926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. The total an.
nual production of these mills is ap
proximately SJ4 100000.
Virginia has interests also, which
are not included in the above figures
as have also Tennessee and Kentucky
on the western side OF the mountains.
\ National forest reserve in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire is
also matter of general concern and
vital to the we'll being of the industries
of all New England. We are upon the
threshold of great industrial competi
ton with the producing powers of the
world; to maintain our supremacy we
must retain our hold upon our cheaI
water power, which, through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be
fore and greatly aiding to our nationa
prosperity.
The creation OF the Appalachian ant
White Mountain Forest Reserves can
not be left to the states: the question
is an interstate and therefore a ma
tional one. Nearly all the rivers o.
New England head in the White Noun
tains Of New Hampshire and it is o

National DELAY in the acquisition o

and wasteful. Timber land which {

Seven of these little fellows were

Hundred Million Dol ar Waste.

But estimating the values only of the
4,709,SG0 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 Sl17.746,500. The price received
for this land has been at the uniform
rate of $3.50 per acre, or $l1 1.7T4,650,
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 to
the Irrigation Fund, two policies OF
great internal improvement and i'm.
portance could be generously main
tained. while at the same time the
forestry question would be to a great
extent solved, public forest lands being
numbered In such manner as to pre-
serve the young growth and leave the
forest as perpetual source of income
to the nation and at the same time
conserve the water supply.

A large oportion of these lands have

While they have no ma- terial surface showings, it is known that the 60-foot gold ledge of the Mammoth mine crosses their pro- perty, and once this IS encountered, l, it is anticipated they will De a steady producer of gold.

 Phoenix Republican: Tuesday at Florence a meeting of the di. rectors of the A. s. & A. Copper Mining company was held at which several matters of importance were discussed. The principal business was going over the plans for the new line of railroad the company is building from the end of the Y of the Phoenix & East ern road at Florence to the pro- perty of the company at Superior, distance of about thirty miles. The road will be standard gauge and the preliminary surveys have already been made.
