How the National Forests Serve the
Public.

"The Use of the National Forests
a publication just printed by the De-
partment of Agriculture, is a brief,
clear manual for public information
as to the forest policy of the national
government.
1t is too true, as the short preface
to the public says, that "many people
do not know what national forests
are. Others may have heard much
about them, but have no idea of
their true purpose and use" 1t is
the object of this publication to ex-
plain just what the national forests
mean, what they are for, and how to
use them.
In the first place, it is explained
how the forests are created and how
their boundaries are drawn. Next.
their direct use and value are shown
from the point of view of the home
seekker,-the prospector and miner, the
user of timber, the user of the range,
the user of water, and other users of
forest resources. Third, it is shown
:.
for the production of disable products
and for the establishment and main
tenance of homes; how on all of them
the timber is protected from fire, the
water flow is kept steady, the forage
on the range is increased and guard
ed from abuse; and how, in addition.
they serve as great public playground
and as breeding places and refugees
for game. Finally, the management
of the national forest is described.
Here it is that the great usefulness
of the forests is brought out most
clearly and strikingly; for the forests
are managed by the people in their
own interests, and every means is
used to meet the desires and wants
of all forest users half way by deal
ing with them in the main directly
on the ground and in all cases with
the utmost practicable dispatch and
freedom from red tape.
In word, the special interest of
this manual lies in its showing that
the forest policy of the government,
both in principle and in practice, is
for the benefit of the ordinary man,
for the benefit of every citizen equal
ly. There is still tendency to think
of the national forests as ''preserves"
closed to use, and to leave the public
lands exposed to unregulated in
dividual exploitation. Where these
misapprehensions still prevail "The
Use of the National Forests" will go
far to correct them.
The book is written by Frederick
E. Olmsted, whose intimate knowl-
edge of conditions in the west and
the policy under Which the national
forests are managed especially fits
him to deal with the subject.

Wednesday afternoon of last week
there was an alarm of fire, and the
corral of the Eagle Drug Mercantile
company, on Railroad avenue, was
found to be on fire. The day was hot
and the wind was strong from the
south. The fire had such a start
when discovered that nothing could
be done with 1T, but let it burn out.
There were several shed buildings,
large amount of hay and grain, sew
eral vehicles, four horses, a colt,
couple of calves and some pigs con-
sumed by the fire. w. II. Small, the
president of the Eagle Drug COM
pany, estimates the loss at about
81, 900, with no insurance. The fire
extended to the adobe house on the
next lot, occupied by Bert Woods.
Some of the furniture was gotten out
of the house, but most of it was
burned. The house next to that of
Mr.. Woods, owned and occupied by
Sallie Smith, was endangered, and all
her furniture was taken out, but
luckily the house was saved. 1t is
supposed that the fire originated
from the festive kid and the Fourth
of July fire cracker, both having
been in evidence in that neighbor-
hood that Aforementioned.

By the uniform accounting system
devised by the interstate commerce
commission. under authority of the
rate law, the railroads of the entire
country will be compelled to classify
their accounts under the heads of
operating revenues, operating ex-
penses, locomotive, car and train
miles and expenditures for road and
equipment. By means of this system
it will be possible to bring up to date
a valuation of the physical property
of road made at any previous time.
Where annual reports only were re-
CURED, with no penalty attaching for
refusal to make them as full as de.
sired, the commission is now in d
position to demand full and complete
monthly or special reports and tc
gain access at any time to the books
of any railroad company.

Why Hieh and Low Freight on Ores.

A railroad man was explaining why
railroad company charges higher
freight rate for $500 ore than $50 ore
He had prefaced this explanation
by saying that he had much COM
plant from mining men on that
score.
"There is a higher rate on high
grade assorted ore than on low grade
ore for the reason that low grade ore
is practically shipped at cost and in
order to come out a little ahead of
the game we have to make the fell
lows with the rich ore pay a sitter
price. We discriminate in this way
because if the man with the low
grade ore did not get a favored rate
he would not ship mis- ore. On the
otherhand in order to make money
we have to charge the man who can
stand it at higher rate. In this way
we encourage development and that
is the only policy to be pursued.
"Another thing, though the reason
[ have just given is the principal one
is that the finer the grade of ore the
greater our risk

Street Car Equipment of Finest Kind for
BiSbee.


After ordering the equipment for
the electric street car system which
will be constructed by the Warren
company in this district, Charles G.
Adsit, consulting engineer for the
Cole interests in the southwest, re-
turned to the city. From the de-
scription of the equipment of the
new system obtained from Adsit by a
Review reporter, there seems to be
no doubt that no city in the country
will have d finer street car system
than will be operated in the Warren
district.
When seen and asked for a state
ment in regard to the equipment,
Adsit SAID:
81 believe 1 can conscientiOusly say
that no city in the United States will
have street car equipment superior
to that of Bisbee, because 1 know
that the only cars IN the country that
cost more to construct are those that
are operated on electric lines which
are operated in opposition to the
railroads, and the only reason why
these cars are more valuable is be-
cause they have greater seating
capacity.
1.-THE equipment for the new cleo
trio street car system has been or
dered from the firm of Mcclure &
Cummings, of Baris, Illinois, proba-
bly, the most noted car builders in the
country. Six cars in all have been
ordered, two for delivery by the last
day of August, and the remaining
four of these cars will have a COM
fortably seating capacity of forty
persons. The cars will be forty-three
feet in length, eight feet high above
the rails, and eight feet six inches
wide. At each seat in the car will be
an electric button for use by the pas
sengers to stop the car. Each car
will be equipped with four 46-h. p.
motors, and will have full equip.
ment of the Westinghouse air breaks:
besides eacl: car will carry the new
multiple control system, affording
means to put any number of cars in a
train and operate the entire string
from the front platform. This latest
control system is not only a means OF
great convenience, but also affords
great protection.
"The steel has already been ordered
and will be of two weights 80 pounds
for the straightaway runs, and &C
pounds for those portions of the road
where no speed can be maintained.
"This equipment is the very best
and when the people of Bisbee have
chance to ride in the cars over the
line think they will agree with me
in what 1 have said.''
Adsit left this week for Magdalena
Sonora, where the Black Mountain
Mining company is contemplating
the doubling of its present milling
capacity. At the present time or
the Black mountains, which is GOLD
proposition, it is possible to mil
about 500 tons of ore a day. Fol
some time past the management ha:
been considering the extension OF
this plant, and it will be with this OBJ
| ject that Adsit will go into the south
srn republic. where he will probably
be for d couple of weeks, when he
will return to the district, and attend
entirely to the construction anG

For the twelve months ending with
the current month-the close of the
government fiscal year-several new
high records in which copper is con-
cerned, will have been established,
notably in the volume of imports in
to the United States and the values
of the metal. Exports from this
country will show falling off from
the past two or three years, but this
may be accounted for to a great ex-
tent by the enormous increase in
domestic consumption. With yet
week to be accounted Tor. imports of
copper to date show an increase of
more than 100000 pounds over the
entire fiscal year 1866. On the
other hand, exports of the metal up
to this time are S0,OOO,0OO pounds I'M
der the total of the previous CORE
spending twelve months period and
more than 100,0OO,O0O pounds below
the total of 1904-5. Values will
greatly exceed those of any previous
years. For the ten months ended
April 30-the latest obtainable Coy
ernment figures-the total value Of
both exports and imports of copper
to and from the United States was
SlO5,5OO,000 as compared with the
twelve months ended June 30, 1905.
The total volume of copper moved in
and out of the country since July
last amounts to 5l6,OOO,0O0 pounds,
against 635, 100000 pounds in the pre-
vious fiscal year, and 1871, 600, 900
pounds the year prior to that period.

Noted Outlaw at SOIOmOnYiIIe.

George Smith, former member of
the Bill Smith band of outlaws, is in
the county Jail at Solomonville await
ing the arrival of the sheriff of Lin
coin county. N. NJ. He is wanted for
a recent horse stealing affair in that
county.
Smith as boy of eighteen years
took part in the desperate fight on
Blue river six years ago between the
Smith gang and a posse from New
Mexico. Bill Smith, the leader, was
badly wanted for being implicated in
the Holbrook train robbery. He and
two brothers were in retirement on
the Blue when the New Mexico Off
GERS surprised them. a ranger
named Defoya and a deputy sheriff
named Maxwell were killed and
George Smith, the man now under
arrest, was shot through the body and
terribly wounded.
The outlaws escaped and have
never been captured. Several weeks
ago George Smith went into Morenci
and voluntarily surrendered to the
officers. No charge being found
against him anywhere he was re
leased, the present charge having
since developed.
He tells an interesting story of the
bloody fight on the Blue, stating that

| WAGE WAR ON CATTLE DISEASE
South Dakota Commission Has Been SuccessfvFuy 80 Per
Cent OF the Disease Has aeen Eradicatcd and Federal
Quarantine Has Been Raised.

The state live stock commission. at
meeting in Pierre, devoted a great
deal of attention to the matter of
eradication of mango or scabies from
the cattle OF the state this spring.
At the 1905 session of the legislature
this commission was created and $10,-
600 was appropriated for the purpose
of dealing with infections, contagious
and communicable diseases in live
stock. At that time this and other
Western states were under absolute
quarantine by the federal government.
South Dakota enacted law and in
augurated an active campaign for the
eradication OF this disease, which
was much more prevalent east Of the
Missouri river, but at the same time
much easier to handle than in the
range country lying west Of the Mis-
souri, river.
With the cooperation of the bureau
of animal industry, it was possible to
raise the quarantine from the section
east Of the Missouri river during the
fall Of 1906. The country west Of the
river showed equal improvement, but
it was found impossible to raise the
quarantine, for the reason that the
section was largely composed of In
dian reservations, over which the
state board had no jurisdiction, and
the work of the federal government
was incomplete
Check tho Decrease.
During 1906 fully so per cent Of the
disease in South Dakota was elimin-
ated. This result was accomplished
at an expenditure Of only about one
third of the amount appropriated,
