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, If
not repealed or radically amended, re-
suit ultimately in the complete destruc-
tion Of the timber on the inappropriate
ed and unreserved public lands. The ra-
pidity with which the public timbered

$z5 per acre, the government has, in
that time, parted with the title of land

for this land has been at the uniform

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 a 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
portancs could be generously main
tanned, while at the same time the
forestry question would be to a great
extent solved, public forest lands being
numbered In such a manner as to pre-
serve the young growth and leave the
forest as a perpetual source of income

conserve the water supply.

Land Oin.e, frederick H, Newell, Chief
Engineer OF the Reclamation Service
and Clifford Pinchot. Chief of the
Bureau of Forestry, has during the
course of two years made a study OF
the public lands condition and has
brought in a report which has been
forwarded to Congress by the President
with a special message recommending
the repeal Of the Timber and Stone
Act and the substitution of a 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
icies 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
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
reeklessly wasted.
Under the Timber and Stone Act.

Animals of this class, especially
rats, have teeth which continue to

being the case, the rodent is obliged
to continue his gnawing SO as to keep
his teeth ground off to a proper length.

For Eastern Forest Reserves.

N q speech at RalelSu, IN. u, Oh
October 10th, last, President Roosevelt,
said: 1T is the upper attitudes of the
lorested mountains that are most valu-
able to the nation as a whole, especially
because of their effects upon the water
supply. Neither state or nation can at
ford to turn these mountains over to
the unrestrained greed of those who
would exploit them at the expense of
the future. We cannot afford to wait
longer before assuming control in tue
interests of the pablo, of these forests;
for if we do waH, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-
como SO strongly irGenched that 1t
may be a most expensive task to GUST
lem. If the eastern states are wise,
then from the Bay Of Fundy to the
~ulf we will see, within the next few
years a policy set on foot similar TO
that so fortunately carr ed out Ia the
high Sierras of the west by the Ma
ional government. AL the higher Ap-
palachians should be reserved. Such
reserves would be a paying investment,
not only in protection to many inter
ests, but in dollars and cents to the
government. The Importance to the
southern people of protecting the south
ern mountain forests is obvious. These
forests are the best defense against the
floods which, in the recent past, have,
during a single twelve months, destroy
ed property officially valued at nearly
twice that it would cost to buy the
Southern Appalachian Reserve"
