Preserving Forests.
[From The Trlbune Bureau.l

Washington Jan. Is-Giford Pinchot. chief Of
the bureau of forestry, has asked the House Com
mittee Agriculture to lend his bureau SOOOOoO
with which to carry on the work Of preserving the
forests. He declares that the forest reserves Will
be selfsustaning by 1911 and that by 1911 the en-
tire loan be paid off. this being In accordance
with the recommendation contained in the Presi-
dents special message.
In making his request Mr.. Pinchot presented facts
showing the magnitude OF the area under his su-
pervision. He said that the last year the bureau
was under the Interior Department the revenue
from the amounted to s59.OOO and the fol-
lowing year, under the Department Of Agriculture
It was $1,000. Last year the was s7S7.OOO

tionatey. because Of the increase in the revenues
This year the receipts will amount to Sl25.OO0 A
little later water power. which the forests supply
in great abundance. Will be sold at 70 cents a
horsepower. The standing timber In the reserves
Mr. Pinchot says is worth s7OO 100000 and the en-
tire property is worth 81 4OOOOOO0O. more than
the entire army and navy equipment. In the re-
serves are embraced 127OOO.00O acres. or 100000
square miles. covering as much space as New Eng
land, New York. Delaware. New Jersey. Pennsyl-

Mr.. Pinchot contends that If the reserves were
maintained the PrUssian basis u7OO0 rangers
and 10 supervisors would be required TO man them
instead Of the 500 rangers and 80 supervisors now
