FORESTRY BUREAU RULES
OVER MILLIONS OF ACRES

WASHINGTON.-The Forestry Blu
w reau, which now administers
more acres of land than any other
landlord branch of the Federal Gov
eminent, has just compiled it's report
covering statistics of grazing on the
public lands of the great West. The
figures will give some idea of the sca:e
on which Uncle Sam has gone into the
land business, and are very comfort.
ing because of their very size, for il
the existing policy is 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 156,000,-
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 fiocks 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 very good idea
Of the government forest policy and
how it 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 it and the location of the range they
to make allotments, apportioning the
available pasture among the appli-
,cants on as equitable basis as prac-
ticable.
Sometimes stockmen who live near
forests or have stock near them allow
that stock to drift across lines. If this
is done carelessly or wilfully it is con-
sidered trespass and the offender is
subject to fine and may also be sued
for damages. The number of tres
pass cases last year was 1873, of which
1913 were settled out of court. The
sum collected for these trespasses ag.
gregated $3.50. These trespass cases
have been another source of friction
between the government and the
grazers. 1t is difficult for the west
to realize that, the country now being
thickly populated, it is no longer pos
sible to maintain the old time free
range without destroying that range.
The entire system of permits and fees
is for the purpose of enabling the
government to know that the range
within the reserves is not being over
fed.

GOVERNMENT TO SUPPRESS
TRAFFIC In GIRL SLAVES

A SYSTEMATIC effort is to be
"a made by the bureau of immigra-
ton to put an end to what is popularity
known as ''the white slave traffic"
which, it is asserted, has been con-
Quoted, especially in cities on the
Atlantic seaboard, for long time.
On recommendation of Robert
Watchorn, immigration commissioner
at Ellis Island, New York, Miss Helen
NJ Bulls has been appointed an i'm
migration inspector for the particular
purpose Of developing information re-
garding this traffic. Miss Bulls re-
sently has been connected with the
Travellers Aid Society, and has done
much work along philanthropic and
sociological lines.
Commissioner Watchorn says that
despite the scrutiny with which i'm
migrants are examined as to their
right to enter the United States many
women of non-English speaking races
are being imported for immoral pur-
poses The method by which this is
accomplished is so well devised that
the victims of the importers nearly
always avoid detection by reason of
the thorough coaching they receive
prior to their embarkation for this
country.
Mr.. Watchorn suggests that Mss
Bulls is in position to furnish the
department conclusive proof of the
existence of the traffic. This would
enable the immigration officials not
only to deport those who have been
brought unlawfully into the country,
but also to punish those who are re-
sponsible for this sort of immigra-
ton.

NEWSPAPERS FAST EATING
UP OUR SPRUCE FORESTS

n HE rapidity with which the news
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 1885,
900 feet for every working day in the
year. And most of this timber is cut
in the United States, although few
wood pulp logs are imported from
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 1t re-
quired an army of $4,000 men, who
drew 100000 in wages. The mills
used raw material amounting to 1900
900 cords. representing the cut of
about 100000 acres.
The present tariff on lumber causes
this enormous dr. to fail almost en-
tirely upon the forests of the United
States 1t has been suggested that
~ "ooiu pC q WioC pOilliSdi anu wv
nomic move to remove this lumber
duty, and let the paper mills begin to
eat into the almost limitless forests of
Canada.
incidentally the price of paper
would drop some, and the paper trust
would not have quite the monopoly on
affairs which it 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 basis of weight, and In
1900 sc pages; 1905 they came to S.5
pages.
During the rs years from 1880 10
1905 the number of newspapers and
periodicals of all classes in the United
States practically doubled. During
that time 10000 publications were
added. During the last decade the
number of morning newspapers in
creased IL per cent, while the num-
Der of evening newspapers increased
;11.3 per cent.
During the last 20 years the evening

Food Law plscrlmInates.

Claiming that the new Iowa pure
food law Is discriminatory as 1t re-
lates to the sales OF concentrated feed
ing stuffs, the American Linseed COM
pany asks the federal court to enjoin
II. r. Wright, state food and dairy
commissioner from enforcing that
part of the statute.
The petition as filed by Attorneys
Hager e. Powell declares that license
fee of 10 cents per ton on linseed
meal is discriminatory because it Is
not required on other unadulterated
stock foods and because 1t does not
provide license fee for similar pro-
ducts manufactured In Iowa.

do not charge nearly as much as to
transport fruit. The queStion will
