FAIR DEALING IN SALE
OF RESERVE TIMBER
Supervisor Anderson Gives Clear r
Statement as to Meth DDS
Governmant Employs.

/. There being misunderstanding on
the part of many as to the way that
timber can be acquired on forest re-
serves and the charge is made by mis-
informed persons that the big lumber
companies are given the advantage by
the government over the small millmen,
Supervisor Anderson gives the follow
ing clear statement in reply TO these
charges and fully explains the rules
governing the disposing of timber by
the government:
The statement which has gone the
round of the newspapers and found
place in your columns recently, that
the late creation of National Forests
included all the public timber land OF
the West, had no foundation in fact
1t was the result of taking seriously
some of the public interviews Of the
public disappointed timber speculs-
tors who only meant to be sarcastic.
q The new reserves in Southern Ore
gon and additions, were all or nearly
all created from land that was with
drawn from entry four years ago, and
did not include near all of the with
drawn territory as over 800, 900 acres
have recently been ordered thrown
open for settlement as soon as the
necessary advertising can be done.
1t is remarkable how easily story
detrimental to the Forestry system of
the government can gain circulation,
and looks like organized misrepresen-
tation.
The impression has gone abroad that
the timber on the forests is not for
sale, or so effectulaly tied mp by red
tape" that none but wealthy corpora,

OWNERS OF SENALL
STILL HAVE HOPES
AMERICAN FOUR-MAsTER, LONG
OVERDUE, MAY HAVE BEEN
DRIVEN FAR OUT or COURSE.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. G.-The AM
erican four-masted bark Arthur Sew
ALL long overdue from this port Tor
Seattle, is not the only square-rigged
vessel about whose safety much un-
easiness is felt in shipping circles. The
bark Adolf Obrig, Captain Ross, left
New York on April 10, a week later
than the Sewall, bound for San Fran
cisco, and since then nothing has been
heard Of the vessel.
Reports reached here yesterday from
the Pacific coast which tell of terrific
storms in the neighborhood of Cape
Horn One vessel, the French bark
Rochambeau from Rochester Eng,
reported that she was off Cape Horn
60 days unable to proceed owing to a
succession of westnOrtheast gales. On
June 20 this bark encountered a hur-
riCane
The knowledge that the American
clipper ships Atlas and Kenilworth,
both bound for San Francisco, were
compelled to put into Rio JaneTo
damaged by storms, leads maritime
men to believe that the Sewall encoun-
tered the same gales and was blown
far out Of her course. The Atlas was
more than 200 days out before tidings
of her were received. The Kenilworth
was out more than a year before she
sought refuge at Rio Janeiro Both
vessels lost sails. They are believed
to be still at Rio Janeiro.
The American schooner William
Nottingham left New York on March
3 for Seattle and was not heard from
until she put into Melbourne on Sep
tember 4 for new gear and sails. The
British ship DynOmene which left
Leith on January II for San Francis
co, was supposed to have been lost
until she arrived at Montevideo on
September 19 in distress. The Italian
ship Elisa, from Tyne April %, was
long overdue at San Francisco, and
was supposed to have fOundered until
word was received of her arrival at
Melbourne in distress last September.
The fact tnat so many sailing YES
sells had to seek harbor causes owners
and agents Of the Arthur Sewall to be-
lieve that this bark which is con-
structed of steel weathered the
storms, but was blown far out OF her
course. The Sewall has enough food
on board to last fifteen months If nee
eSsary.

LIBELs THE FoRT GEORGE.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 5.-The
Maryland Dredging and Contracting
Company, owner of the dredger Vim,
filed a libel in the United States Dis
trict Court yesterday against the AM
erican bark Fort George for $4,000. 1t
is alleged that on December s, 1906,
while the Fort George was in tow she
collided with the dredger although the
tugboat avoided the disaster and
places the blame on the course that
was steered by the Fort George. The
damage which was done the dredge in
the collision is supposed to be repre-
sented by the amount prayed for,
