MARK ABLE. SALE
Big Timber Deal of Material Once
 Without Market.

From several aspects a striking in- terest attaches to the recent sale by the government of about 50000,000 feet of timber on the Montana di- vision of the Yellowstone Forest re- serve to contracting company which will convert most of the timber into railroad ties.
 This is one of the largest sales ever made of government timber: the price is advantageous; and large percent age of the cut will be of a species Which few years ago was without market value, namely, lodgepole pine. Further, if may be said with assur- ance that had not the preservative treatment of ties been shown to be both practical and economical, such a sale could not have been made, for 60 per cent of the cut, or approximately loo0,000 ties, is to be treated with preservatiyes by process which ex-
 
 peflment and trial have placed on a sound business basis.
 The purchasers of the timber have contracted to supply the Chicago Bur- hhgton and Quincy and the Northern faclflc railway companies with ties TOT a period covering three years. me timber for which they applied 'e the government consists of lodge pole plne red fir, and spruce. A large proportion of the stand is lodgepole pne which grows very densely. Con- sequently after all the specified timber nas neen removed, a plentiful stand o' young trees will be left, which in a 1ew years will again form forest of merchantable dimensions.
 The government will receive a s'umpage price of $2.50 per thousand ieet TOT the red fir and $2.00 per thou

sand feet for the spruce and pine.

sand feet for the spruce and pine.
 The story of the entrance of lodge pole pine into the timber market is an interesting chapter in the history of the use of forest products. Five years ago this tree was classed among the nearly worthless, inferior timbers growing in the northwestern states. It had never come into extensive use. It's liability to attack by fungus and to check in drying, it's softness and llghtness, and the large percentage of sapwood in it's structure were dis advantages which seemed to handi- cap it permanently. Yet the possibi- lity and the need of finding substi- tutes for scarcer woods had already led to the closer study of a number of unexploited species, and devices wele being sought by which artificial treatment might be made to take the place of natural adaptabiity to specific service
 Among these devices were being sought by artificial treatment might be made to take the place of natural adaptabiiity to specific service.
 Among these devices were improve ments in seasoning methods and the Use of conservatives. It was found that preservative treatment, which greatly prolonged the life of certain timbers, depends largely for it's suc- cess upon the penetrability of the wood, which permits the preservative to enter the wood substance easily The loblolly pine was seen to be ex- eeedingly we'll adapted for preserva- tive treatment, and also lodgepole pine, whose softness is combined with a high degree of permeability. Iii 1902 the seasoning and preserving of lcdSepole pine was thoroughly taken up by the Forest Service, in co-opera. tlon with the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad and with the present purchasers of reserve timber in Mon- tana. The results established it's ser. viceability and thus opened a new field for the supply of ties, upon which the railroads are drawing so heavily

MYSTERIOUS FIRE
For Fourth Time This Winter D. B
 Niven Is Victim of Ineendiary.

For the fourth time this winter fire broke out shortly after noon today in a barn owned by D. B. Niven, located in the rear of his residence at 1909 South Main street. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as all the others have been, and was easily cxtinguish- ed by the department. The depart mcnt has been called to the scene but oncefbefore, the other two fires hav- jug been put out by the women of 11fes house. In one case the fire was Beginning to creep toward large quantity of oil stored in the barn and serious damage was prevented by the arrival of the department. The re narkable series of fires point 10 the work of an incendiary, no trace of whom has been feund, despite the strenuous efforts on the part of both Chief Schultz and Mr. Niven. Chief Schultzs theory is that there may have been children playing about the barn who accidentally Set it on fire.

Yesterday George Bnnton Mcclellan
began his second term of Office as mayor OF
Greater New York The term Is for four
years. having been extended from two
year, by the last Legislature
In the course OF ana address 20 his sub
ordinates, Mayor Mcclellan informed them
that they owed their appointments solely
TO bis belief in their qualifications and that
he would hold them 70 o strict and efficient
performance OF their duties. And there
is every reason to believe that he means
what he said.
A significant feature of the mayor s adj
dress was his allusion to the present term
in the mayoralty as the last public Office
which, in al human probability, | shall
ever ill. There is little doubt that the
mayor is firm in bis intention to remain in
the Office during the entire term and not TO
aspire 70 the Democratic nomination for
governor of New York State, next year.
But as to future official honors, he is too
young a man to repudiate them in adj
vance. And if he fully meets the expecta-
tons OF his friends IN giving New ork
City the best administration in its entire
history during the next four year, there
is no telling what the people may demand
Of him. For abilities that may bring
about such a result In the administration
Of the great city OF New York win surely
commend their possessor to the people OF
the country.
The Hearst employees are still prosecut
ing their contest Of Mayor Mcclellan
seat, but in a roundabout way, through Q
contest Of the office Of President Of tn,
Board Of Aldermen, designed to lead t,
proceedings for legal review OF the entir'
election There is little probability tha
they viii succeed in disturbing Mayo
McClellan's official security, however
and it may be regarded as certain that HI
will serve out his term, barring death O
unlocked for accident.

An interesting and suggestive item of
army news is contained in the announce
ment that "by direction Of the President,
Col Butler d. Price of the Sixteenth In
fantry, on his own application, after more
than forty-two years service, has been
placed on the retired list of the army with
the rank Of bngadiergeneral"
Col. Price is 90 years of age, four years
short Of the army age limit, and in his
case, says the New York Sun, in comment,
zone of the finest and best equipped
soldiers in the service has reached the
grade Of colonel while men who were either
small boys or infants when he was made
lieutenant of cavalry, in 1861, have
jumped over his head. The trouble with
Price is that he has never tried to play in
the limelight. He is only a modest and
unassuming gentleman, whose personal
qualities have endeared him TO his associ-
ates as his abilities and the fidelity with
which he has done his work have COM
manded their respect and approval To
the publichnd the politicians Of the coun-
try Butler Price is almost an entire
stranger The army knows him as one Of
It's best soldiers
Thus, cone of the best soldiers" in the
army has been compelled to step aside,
while men who have not seen a fourth Of
his service and are not possessed Of a 1.-THE

He has even seen a civilian, picked up on
the wave of our hurlcsque war with Spain
advanced so swiftly in the line Of pro.
motion that his elevation to the head Of
the army within a short time is conf
IDENTIFY predicted.
But then Col Price never was a royster
