of the trustees of the landing place 81
has been advised that you are in a pc.
sition to supply a reliable photograph
or photographs of the scene of Cooks
assassination by the natives at Owy-
hee.
The spot on which Cook first landed
in Australia, namely, on the southern
shores of Botany Bay, has, by MI
Carruthers' action, been reserved and
dedicated TO the public, and the Pre-
mier and his cotrustees have been fol
some years making endeavors not only
to popularize this interesting site, but
to collect as far as possible history and
mementoes directly connected with
Cooks voyages and career. An accu-
rate and truthworthy picture of the
spot where one so closely identified with
early Australian history closed his ca
reer would be very acceptable to the
trustees, and I am directed to inquire
if the information conveyed to Mr.. Car
ruthers is correct. If you are in po-
sition to furnish the photograph, any
expense that you may be put to will be
refunded
With thanks beforehand for your con-
sideration of this request, believe me,
yours faithfully,
E. B. HARDNESS,
Premier's Secretary.

FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES

VIZ ASHINGTON.--The Forestry Blu
w reau. which now administers
more acres OF land than any other
institution in the world and Is the
landlord branch OF the Federal Gov
eminent. has Just complied its report
covering statistics Of grazing on the
public lands OF the great West The
figures will give some idea OF the scale
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business. and are very comfort.
Ing because of their very size. for II
the existing policy ia unmolested the
vast areas OF forest and mountain now
embraced in reserves will for all time
be- administered In the interest of the
entire people.
There are now more than i56, 000.-
900 acres OF land in the national for
ests. Grazing is permitted. but under
strict regulations. made in order that
the grass may not be destroyed by
overlooking. This. by the way. Is
what has caused most Of the friction
in the West. Owners OF flocks and
herds in that section of the country
for years have been accustomed to
grazing without restrictions of any
kind. Many OF them in time came to
look upon the public domain as their
very own. in an important sense. and
they were quick TO resent any effort
on the part OF the government to con
serve either forest or grazing land
But this friction is rapidly disappear
ing. as the western people see that
without such conservation the range
and forest in time will be destroyed
A glance at the regulations govern
ing grazing on the government forests
will give the reader a very good idea
of the government forest policy and
how Il Is being administered Stock
men who desire to make use of the
range apply for permits stating the
kind Of stock they have. the quantity
of Il and the location Of the range they
want. The forest officers then proceed
to make allotments. apportioning the
available pasture among the appli'
cants on as equitable a basis as prac.
ticable.
Sometimes stockmen who live near
forests or have stock near them allow
that stock to drift across lines. II this
Is done carelessly or wilfully II is con
sidered trespass and the offender Ii
subject to fine and may also be sued
for damages. The number Of tres
pass cases last year was 1873, OF which
1853 were settled out OF court The
sum collected for these trespasses az
gregated $3.50. These trespass cases
have been another source OF friction
between the government and the
grazers. II Is diRicult for the wesi
to realize that. the country now belnE
thickly populated. II is no longer pos
sible TO maintain the old time fret
range without destroying that range
The entire system OF permits and fee'
Is for the purpose OF enabling tbs
government TO know that the range
within the reserves is not being over
fed.

NEWSPAPERS FAST EATING
UP OUR SPRUCE FORESTS

- HE rapIdity with which the news
1 paper Is eating up the American
spruce forests has caused some alarm
among officials OF the government,
who have been looking into the thing.
The conversion Of spruce timber into
paper is going on at the rate Of 1866
600 feet for every working day ia the
year. And most OF this timber IL cut
in the United States, although few
wood pulp logs are imported nom
Canada.
During 1905 the newspaper demand
alone consumed 100000 tons OF manu-
featured white paper. This was one
third OF the output Of all the paper
mills in the country. To make II re-
quired an army Of $4,000 men, who
drew 100000 In wages. The mills
used raw material amounting to 1900.
600 cords. representing the cut OF
about 100000 acres.
The present tariff on lumber causes
this enormous drain to fall almost en-
tirely upon the forests OF the United
States. II has been suggested that
II would be a wise political and eco
nomlc move to remove this lumber
duty. and let the paper mills begin to
eat into the almost iimitless forests OF
Canada.
Incidentally the price Of paper
would drop some. and the paper trust
would not have quite the monopoly on
affairs which IL has to-day.
Increased size OF newspapers and
magazines is laid by government ex-
perts to the introduction OF the type
setting machine. In 1890 newspapers
and periodicals. averaged 81 pages
each. on a basis of weight. and In
1900 sc pages; 1905 they came to S-5
pages.
During the % years from 1850 to
1905 the number OF newspapers aud
periodicals of all classes In the United
States practically doubled During
that time 10000 publications were
added. During the last decade tina
number of morning newspapers In
creased IL per cent. while the num-
Der Of evening newspapers increased
li.3 per cent.
During the last 20 years the evening
newspapers have increased more rap.
idly than morning newspapers A
hundred years ago there were 35s
newspapers in the United States. hay.
