TIMBER SOLD FROM RESERVES
Total Value OF Products OF Reserves
Slid In 1908 Was S273.859.S2.


During the year 1906 the sales OF
timber from the national reserves
were as follows:
The largest sales 80 far made are
71,4s6,b37 board feet from South Da-
kota; 6S,255.916 from Wyoming, and
5,327,443 from Utah.
In sales of wood for fuel South Da-
kota led with 29,S14s cords; Arizona
followed with 16,649, and Colorado
with 1875. The total number OF
cords sold was 7412O.
In sales of posts and pCles Montana
led with 119,5c0, followed by Wyom-
ing with 30,750, and Colorado with
1885. The total number sold was
1SS,740.
The largest timber sales were made
in Wyoming. where5they reached $143,-
S94.S1. South Dakota's sales ranked
second In value, amounting to $751;
95s.24, and Colorado's to s2S,e37.07.
The total sales for 1905 reached s273,-
659.S2.
Nor are the receipts from these sales
swallowed up by the cost of admins
tration. The entire property of the
forest reserves worth s250,O0O,oO0 in
cash, is now being administered at a
cost of less than one-third of 1 per
cent of Its value, while increase In that
value OF not less than 10 per cent a
year Is taking place.
As the use Of the reserves increases
the cost of administration must. OF
course, increase also, but receipts will
certainly increase much more rapidly
The time is not far distant when the
forest reserves will become self-sus-
tanning. Later, they may confidently
be expected to become source oi
public revenue.

HIGHER RATE ON ALASKAN MAIL
Seattle Steamship Companies Advance
Rate From -Four to Eight Cents.

A special from Seattle says: All
steamship lines operating out of Pu-
get sound have raised the rate on mail
shipments to Nome and st. Michael
from four to eight cents a pound. As
a result the government has ordered
the first shipment of mail sent from
San Francisco by the Buckman, which
will be several days later in reaching
Nome than the first vessels out of
Seattle. This will be the only vessel of
that line, however, that accepts the
cheaper rate. Yesterday the agree
ment affecting Puget sound boats was
extended to the Buckman and Wat
son.
Steamship men claim there is no
money in handling mail on the basis
Of $50 a ton. They claim $3.50 is nec-
essary to guarantee profit and all
the lines will adhere to the determin-
alton not to put into effect the old
rates.

The following "slandcrous,. article
concerning the well-behaved farmers
i OF Wascc county, appeared under u
4. Portland date line in the Daily New
York Sun. Such articles keep alive
the prejudlces and misconceptions of
the west among easterners and do the
q west untold injury In many ways.
The article was evidently written by
some travelling correspondent" who
had been furnished with pass from
New York to Portland and who felt
that he must earn his salary" 1t is
as follows:
The Dalles, one of the thriving small
cities In the eastern Oregon wheat
belt, was the scene of rain carnival
last week. Corn, wheat and snow
carnivals are nothing out Of the ordi-
nary, but a rain carnival Is something
that is really new. The rain carnival
at The Dalles began on Sunday morn
ing and lasted several days.
No preparations had been made for
1t, nothing had been published about
II In the newspapers, there was no
band of music and no orations by the
most prominent citizens. The enter
tainment was provided by hundreds
of inebrlated farmers who celebrated
in their own way the advent of the
precious rain for which they had been
anxiously waiting many weary days.
The rain meant thousands of dol
lars in the pockets of the Wasco coun-
ty wheat farmers, who had feared for
some time that there might be a
drought. II the rain had been de-
layed a few days more the wheat cror
would have been badly damaged
Many OF the farmers were in despair
as the continuance OF the dry. clea,
weather spelled ruin for them.
But on Sunday morning the farm
ers awoke to find the sky covered by
clouds. and their stock of faith soar.
ed upward. Late in the morning a
few drops OF rain fell and then there
came general downpour. The farm.
ers OF Wasco county are endowed with
sufficient intelligence to come in ou
OF the rain. but they didn't want to
Hundreds of them remained outside

Joy know no bounds.
Nearly every wheat farmer in tn,
country was seized with an overpower
ing impulse to celebrate. The!
thronged The Dalles. where the!
gave vent to their enthusiasm. Nearl,
all of them rode to town in oper
buggies. disdaining the use of umbrel
las or covers. Within a few hour
after the rain The Dalles was crowded
with 4 rejoicing mob of rain ant
otherwise saturated farmers, whit
tried to drink the town dry.
Practically all OF them got drunk
and never before in the history of tn,
city was there such a general carous
al. Farmers who never before hat
been known to imbfhe drank with tn,

NO CHANGE IN WOOL.
Reviving Demand for Western Pro-
duct Holds I'm the Prices

There seems TO be no perceptible
change in the wool situation in Idaho.
In fact the entire western market as
well as the eastern is quiet at this
time, although brighter tone is look
ed for by those who keep in touch
with the situation. A late Commercial
Bulletin published in Boston. gives an
account OF the outlook from the great
wool center. 1t says:
There is a slightly improved under
tone to the market, and buyers are
showing Tnure interest in offerings.
Lack of domestic supplies precludes
more siZable transactions, for there is
indeed reviving demand for territory
wool. This interest is proven by the
transfer Of several lines of new wool
recently received. However, the bulk
of the business being accomplished is
In foreign wool.
Market Passed Through Dull Period.
The market has passed through a
dull period for some weeks, but it is
felt In certain quarters that n return
to more active business will soon be
inaugurated. In other houses there
seems TO be no nearby relief for the
existing Quietness. Although, as pre-
viously stated, merchants and manu-
facturers' eyes are turned toward tn.
territories consideration is not refus-
ed the first arrivals of the new clip.
There has also been talk OF Com
bination" to break prices in the terri
tories. and some say that the truth of
the report was proven by the concert
ed refusal on the part of buyers to
operate.
Wools May BE Shipped Fast.
When values are placed on a suita-
BILE basis. buying will become active,
but say the dealers. ''if they are not
put within reach the woods may be
shipped east on consignment or kept"
As matter of fact, 100000 to L.
5000 pounds have already been
shipped to Boston and Philadelphia
from Wyoming, in some instances
guarantees touching 22c having been
made.

What Irrigation District Will Do,

there would have been no litigation to
retard the improvement of our homes
and to keep outsiders from seeking
homes in our midst. We all realize that
the great southern mining districts have
helped us in numerous ways, and that if
we were prepared we could furnish the
greater portion of the produce going in
to that country. But if the southern
camps had to depend on ris for one sta
pie product now they would be short
half the time, not because we are not
willing to furnish the goods, but because
we can't. 1t is impossible because we
are only raising from one-third to one
half of what the land ought to produce,
and will produce with water on it. In
other countries not as good as this land
sells from 500 to $500 per acre.
Why not make ours the same?
1t can be done. There are thousands
of people who are looking for homes.
With water for our land we can sell
them homes and be recompensed for
the long years of toll. The railroad
companies will see our field and will
build through our valleys because they
are always out for new buiiness. Our
freight business will look good them.
Why should we not, to certain ex-
tent, enter the manufacturing field?
We can produce the raw material for
many articles of consumption, and with
reservoir system could produce power
enough the year around to furnish any
number of industries. Under such con-
ditions it would be unnecessary for us to
import such great quantity of the stuff
that we consume, and we might export
to great extent Our banks would be
doing thriving business instead of the
money going to San Francisco and other
California banks.
We have the gold, silver and copper
mines of the world in our State, and
Smith Valley and Mason Valley have
their share of these mines good and
strong There is plenty of capital after
them, and as soon as the mines are de-
veloped our valleys, under an irrigation
system, may be classed as Gods country
AS for reservoir sites, few of the
most important may be named on the
stream. There is the Twin Lake on the
East Walker, Alkali Lake ON the West

Reservation Proclamation Signed,

Walker River Indian Reservation in the
State of Nevada have been made to, ap-
proved and accepted by the Piute Indians of
that Reservation pursuant to the require
ments of the Act of Congress approved
May 81, 1902 (32 U. S. Statutes at Large,
26O);
And, whereas, other portions of the
lands in said Reservation have been Sc
lected, setapart and reserved for the use
of said Indians in common for the graz
ing of livestock pursuant to the require
ments of the Joint Resolution of Con-
gress No. 32, approved June 19, 1902 (S2
U. S. Statutes at Large, $3.50, and other
portions thereof have been reserved and
set apart for agency, school, cemetery
and church purposes under the general
provisions of law;
And, whereas, by said Act of May 27,
1902, it was provided that after the In
dians had consented thereto the Presi-
dent shall, by proclamation, open the
lands relinquished by the Indians to set
tlement, to be disposed of under existing
laws;
And, whereas, by an agreement en-
tered into by said Indians they have
ceded and relinquished to the United
States all their right and claim in and to
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-10-20

What is the Lyon County Irrigation
District?
1t is the law of the State of Nevada
which has been on the Statutes since
1891, but which, up to the present time
has never been put into operation. 1t is
a provision of law, which if carried out,
will make of the Walker River Valley
one of the greatest garden spots on the
Pacific Coast. The great valley of the
Nile is not barred, even though in
ancient times it was considered the gran
ary of the world. 1t is a plan to raise
our taxes for few years, perhaps, SO
that in the near future they can be
put down to rate lower than anybody
in the district ever expected to see them.
We will be called upon to pay for the
Improvements, but the District will sup
ply us with the means to meet the bill
1t will fill our half-empty hay yards and
granaries, our potato cellars, our root
houses, our dairy and beef corrals, our
sheep and hog pens, build more flour
mills, creameries, stores, packing houses,
and eventually bring to us beet sugar
plants, starch factories and other indus
tries. 1t will hasten the building of a
railroad to our doors and place us on the
same high plane upon which the reser-
voir irrigation system placed the Colo
RADIO people The farmers of that State
were, years ago, in the same fix that the
farmers of Nevada are it today. They
are now twenty years ahead of us. Then
the people of that State were a half
starved and thirsty lot, but they awoke
and banded themselves together and con-
structed reservoirs and perfected an ir-
rigation system. They spent an enor-
nous amount of money, but see their
position today. Every year they can
build a complete system and not miss
the money. Most of the irrigation sys-
TENS of Colorado are stock companies
formed by the people just the same as
the ditch companies are formed in our
valleys, but with the formation of dis
trict every ditch owner and water con-
sumer in the Walker River basin will
stand Oh an equal footing. 1t will give
the people chance to govern their own
affairs.
Every resident of this section knows
what the past six years have been in the
Walker River basin, and we all know
that if there had been plenty of water

Beef Cattle Brought In.

S. II. Sly, the cattle man, was'aa ar.
rival from San Francisco last week We'd
nesday to arrange for feeding several
hundred head of beef cattle in the valley
this Winter. Instead of holding the cat
tie, however, he sold the bunch, 800
head, to the Western Meat Co. for the
Tonopah market. The cattle were
driven in from the eastern part of the
State this week by John Martenez, John
Nahva and Joe Webb. They are in fine
condition and will be held here and ship
ped to the southern market as they are
needed.
