NATIONAL FOREST
AREA EXTENDED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec s.
(SpeciaD report of the Commits
sioner General of the Land Office,
r. A. Ballinger, for the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1907, was made pub
lie today. 1t shows that subsequent
to March 4 more than two million
acres of public lands, previously held
under blanket orders of suspension,
were restored to entry. Nearly ten
million acres were released from for
estry withdrawal in the same period.
"The most rigorous effort" says
the Commissioner General, is being
made with the force at my command
to restrain unlawful and fraudulent
practices in the public land States
and to secure evidence to prosecute
those guilty of violation of the law.
The field force is totally inadequate
in numbers to reach all such offens-
es, hence the gross offenders are
more particularly sought for"
There are now 159 national forests
formerly called forest reserves Gre
ated by presidential proclamation,
embracing 50,831 665 acres The
total increase in the area of the ma
tional forests since the last annual
report is 43,832,242 acres.

ARIZONA ON HER
GOOD BEHAVIOR

WASHINGTON d. c., Dec. B.
(SpeciaD Nearly year has passed
since. the election which defeated the
proposition of joint statehood, and
deem it my duty to report the fact
that public sentiment in Arizona is
now even stronger against joint
statehood with New Mexico than it
was last year. says Governor Joseph
H. Kibbey, of Arizona Territory, in
his annual report to the Secretary of
the Interior. made public today.
The report states that the last year
was undoubtedly the most prosperous
the territory has ever known.
The present population is given as
approximately $4,000 including
about $4,000 Indians.
OF the closing of the gambling in
the territory, April 1, Governor Kib-
hey says:
This made April 1, 1907 an histor-
ic date in the territory, for until then
gambling had been conducted every
where in a 'wide-open manner, the
gambling houses being open every day
and night of the year. | regard ii
most creditable to our people that
not only was the new law instantly
obeyed, butsthe gamblers themselves
but that there has been no attempt
anywhere to evade the law"

LANDLORDS WILL
GET "23" SIGN
Upton Sinclair Band to
Live on Wheels.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-(SpeciaD-
Several New Workers who were iden-
titled with Upton Sinclair, author OF
The Jungle" in his Inflated Helican
hall communistic experiment at Eagle
wood, have announced that they will
join the novelist in his latest scheme
for living the simple life and outwit-
ting the landlords. Preparations are
already being made for the trip of
the wagon caravan, a colony on
wheels, over two continents. The
start will probably be made next
spring, when Sinclair with a score
or more of other literati, accompan-
led by their families and their Wallets,
maids, governesses and stenograph-
ers, will set forth on their great
trek, beginning in southern California,
crossing the continent and then in
vading Europe and possibly Asia.
"a practical protest against the
landlords, with their system of
charging a rental for the use of the
land which God gave us" is the des-
cription of the experiment given by
New York devotee of the author of
THE Jungle"
Others of the literary elect, who
are not admirers of Sinclair, de-
clare that he is jealous of the fame
attained by his fellow-Socialist, Jack
London, in his trip around the world
in a small boat and that Sinclair has
evolved his communistic colony on
wheels as a method of again getting
his share of the limelight, so neces-
sary to the sale of books

KINDERGARTEN TO
GET THE PROCEEDS
fridays Performances at
Opera House for School.

A benefit for the kindergarten will
be given at the Opera House Friday
night by the moving picture show.
Manager Lucas has agreed to turn
over the receipts for the day to this
worthy institution. Mrs. Will Dud-
ley, on behalf of the kindergarten
management will be in charge of the
performances.
As a special inducement to the
little folks to come out, the holder
of the lucky number ticket will be-
entitled to a beautiful doll. The doll
is over two feet high and has a fine
wardrobe which will delight the lit
tie mother who is so fortunate as to
get the prize.
The scenes will be largely comedy
and will be selected with especial
thought for the little folks. Mr.. King
Purse vii sing some of his choicest
songs. His singing has been a fea-
ture of the moving picture shows
and he will be at his best on Friday.
Both afternoon and night performan-
ces will be for the benefit of the Kim
dergarden.

-erstate Commerce Commission.

Interstate Commerce Commission.
Ample, safe aud speedy transpor-
tation facilities are even more neces
sary than cheap transportation" says
the message. Therefore, wnile there
must be just and reasonable regula-
ton of rate, we should be the first
to protest against any arbitrary and
unthinking movement to cut them
down without the fullest and most
careful consideration of all interests
concerned" This could well be Ia
ken as a dig at recent legislation by
the states in the South, and as indi-
eating the certainty that the Presi-
dent will support the Federal Judges
in the present contests with the State
Courts.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Elsewhere in this issue appears the
Presidents message to the Sixtieth
Congress, which was read at noon
yesterday.
The document is "of absorbing in
terest," as compared with some of
the messages in the past, chiefly for
the reason that the people are keyed
up to high pitch on the three lead
ing ssubjects-currency, trusts and
railroad legislation. Other topics
treated will also be of interest to a
larger proportion of the population
than heretofore, due to the fact that
che general public is better informed
on the issues of the day perhaps than
ever before. This has been caused
by the civic awakening and the dis
closures which have been sufficiently
striking to hold the attention.
One noticeable thing is that there
are no foreign affairs to demand the
attention Of the President, except
those which relate to the Peace Con-
ference. 1t is also worthy Of COM
ment that the tone of the message is
much less belligerent than was ex-
pected when the document was first
drafted and it is probable that some
of the sharper sections were pruned
