ADMIN STRATlvE
TARIFF LAW CHANGES,

New York, Jan. G--Asst Secy, Of the
Treasury James h. Reynolds visited the
general appraisers offices yesterday
and had q long conference In regard to
the affairs of the board. II Is under
stood that his chief object was TO Sc
cure data and opinions from the men,
bers regarding the proposed changes In
the administrative tariff law.
The question of the Independence OF
the general appraisers from govern
ment influence Is a. matter that has at
tracted marked attention in local Inn
porting circles OF late, and It was said
yesterday that New York importers
would probably support any measure
calculated to take the dismissal Of the
general, appraisers out OF the hands
of the president except after specific
charges have been preferred and for
NAL hearing granted. There are but
three OF the nine general appraisers
who constituted the board at it's incep-
ton now left and there Is said to be a
feeling growing In importing circles
that the original purpose OF the board
as designed by Col Tichenov, namely,
that OF being an absolutely Independent

Washington D. c.. Jan. 27,---A forest
reserve has been established on the
eastern boundary Of Utah. under the
name of Lasal reserve. containing a
tract Of l5s,462 acres lying between the
Grand and Dolores rivers. and EXTEND
ing few miles over the state line into
Colorado The reserve embraces the
Lasal range. whose peaks rise TO a
height Of from l2.5O0 to $4,000 feet, and
part OF the long eastern slopes from
those mountains. 1t has been estab-
lished for the double purpose of car
ing for the timber on these slopes, in
the interest OF the public and insuring
protection to the mountain region
witch represents an area OF unusually
great precipitation.
While the forests OF these mountains
will be OF considerable value In the
future IN working the minerals con-
talned In them, the purpose served by
this cover In retaining the snow and
preventing a rapid run off. Is of far
greater value. both for the present and
