In a speech az haIeign, N. c., on
October 10th, last, ] "esident Roosevelt,
said: ''It is the upper attitudes OF the

the unrestrained greed of those who

longer before assuming eonLrol in L.

for if we do WaH, the vested interests
of private parties in them may be-

palachians should be reserved. Such
reserves would be 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 single twelve months, destroy

twice that it would cost to buy the

When the train stopped, the Marquis

Longworth was equal to the occasion,

Congressman Nick Longworth, the

The Importance of the Appalachian
forest cover to the cotton milling in
dustry 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 163 mills so
operated, with a combined capital stock
OF $33,000,000, with 2,770,000 spindles
and 50,926 looms and giving work to
over $4,000 employees. 1Ae tetal an
nual production Of these mills Is ap-
proximatsly $s4, ,eee, ,oee.
Virginia has interests also, which
are not ineluded In the absve figures,
an have also Te1nssse and Kentucky,
on the western side Of the mountains.
A National forest reserve in the
White Mountains of New HAMPSHIRE is
also a matter of general concern and
vital to the well 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 cheap
water power, which, through electrical
invention is being utilized as never be-
fore and greatly aiding to our national
prosperity.
The creation of the Appalachian and
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 of
New England head in the White Noun
tains of New Hampshire and it is of
supreme importance to the industries
of all the New England States, repre-
senting tens Of millions of dollars, that
the forest cover at the river sources
shall be preserved and improved
National delay in the acquisition of
these Preserves" would be dangerous
and wasteful. Timber land which a
few years ago could have been pur.
chased at $1.50 to So an acre has now
trebled and quadrupled in value Ad
ditienal delay will mean a further in
crease in cost. Congress should act
at once and preserve from destruction
one Of the greatest resources of the
| nation.
Amador ledger., 1906-03-09

Land Office, 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 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 ana 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 a. 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
1e1es 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
nismanagement 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.

A large oportion Of these lands have
been in the heavily timbered belt of the
Tar 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 unappropriat-
ed and unreserved public lands. The ra-
pidity with which the public timbered

But estimating the values only Of the
4,7e9, $50 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 $117,746,500. The price received
for this land has been at the uniform
rate of $3.50 per acre. or $11 LIZA, $50.
a loss to the government of over $780,
100000. Your committee endorses the
recommendation of the President and
MS 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 sueh q plan az 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
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 perpetual source of income
to the nation and at the same time
conserve the water supply.

IN this connection, y~ur committee
is much impressed with the importance
of the creation of federal forest re

flow of which depends much of our

They Must GnaW,

Rats, mice and squirrels unceasing-
ly gnaw at something, not out of pure
mischief, 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 proper length.
Amador ledger., 1906-03-09

Only hardshell nuts should be fed
to park squirrels. The teeth of squir-
rel grow so fast that he needs hard
shell nuts to keep them at the proper
