Washington.-That Uncle Sam be.
leves thoroughly in the conserva-
tive management of timber lands is
shown by the fact that he is practic-
ing forestry on lands other than those
contained in the national forests in
the west.
Besides cooperating with private
owners of woodland in assisting them
to apply conservative management,
and with various states in the study
of their forest conditions, the United
States forest service co-operates also
with the other branches of the federal
government.
Chief among these branches is the
war department. The military res
ervations that so far have been exam
ined and reported upon are those at
West Point. N. Us Fort Wingate, N.
M; Rock Island, ILL.,, and the Pican-
tinny arsenal in New Jersey.
At West Point the forest consists
Of second-growth hardwoods, and for
some time has in part supplied the
post with cordwood, lumber, hurdle
poles. tan bark ind other forest prod
ucts. 80
The forest service made a working
plan for this forest in. 1903. and since
then cutting has been along conserva-
tive lines, with q view Of perpetuating
the forest, and at the same time sup
plying the post with . definite guam
tity of wood each year. Similar
plans are in preparation for the for
ests of Rock Island, and Picatinny ar
senals. :4t Z :
BY far the largest. piece of co-opera-
tive work in which the service is now
engaged Is that at Fort Wingate,
where under the supervision Of forest
officials the war department Is selling
$4,000, 900 feet of western yellowS pine:
This timber lies in the southwest, cor
ner Of the reservation of 100 square
miles, is inaccessible to the post, and
was consequently offered for sale. The
top market price is being obtained for
1t, and 1t is being cut under Z rigid
contract according to forestry prin-
ciples.
Under this contract. no trees under
16 inches in diameter. can be cut ex:
cept those which are dead or defec-
tive and those whose removal will
benefit the forest, and no tree a be
cut unless marked by a forest Of
fcer.
Two trees 16 inches or over in diam
eter are left an acre when needed for
seed; stumps must not exceed 18
inches in height, and all merchantable
timber, both standing and down, as in
dicated by the forest officer, must be
removed. Failure to remove any
timber so indicated and the intentions
al cutting of unmarked trees are
penalized by a stumpage charge of
double the contract price.
All brush is being piled and burned,
and thus the danger of fire is consider.
ably lessened. The sale was start
ed during the last summer, and it is
expected to continue through a period
of five years with a cut of 5000, 900
feet a year. Already about 1000, 900
feet have been marked for cutting by
a forest officer. The sale is progress
ing without friction between buyer
and seller, and from the start a forest
officer has been continuously on hand
to look out for Uncle Sam.

PLAN new MOVE
FOR PURE WATER
Supervisors to Compel Auditor
to Pass Appropriation for
Hetch Hetchy Lands

The board of supervisors, will go to
the next appropriation for Hetch
Hetchy reservoir lands. The second
installment. in the sum of $50. 900, will
fall due August 1. Should Roster re-
fuse to approve the demand, mandamus
proceedings will be begun. The auditor
held up the first installnnent of $4,000
which was voted to Elmer Smith of
Merced, who owns the Hetch Hetchy
sites needed by the city, and it became
necessary to raise the money by private
subscription.
Confident that they had the right
to conclu the purchase of the Hetch
Hetchy lal. without the cumbersome
and expensive process of a special cleo
ticn insisted upon by Roster, the pub
lie utilities committee was instructed
by the supervisors to employ Expert
II. A. Mason on the procedure involved.
Mason's report to be submitted formally
to the board next week, gives assur-
ance OF a legal method under the char
ter for the direct appropriation of the
remaining payments. Should Roster
persist in obstruction, the board will
promptly meet the issue with man
damus proceedings.
AUTHORITY IN CHARTER
It is in two sections, Nos. and 15,
Of article Il of the charter, that the
supervisors find their full authority
to grant money for the purchase con-
templated.. Section Is reads:
The supervisors shall have power,
in the name and for the benefit OF the
city and county, to acquire by purchase
or condemnation, subject to the condl-
tionS and limitations in this charter
and in the general laws of the state
prescribed, any lands situated within
the state of California necessary for
constructing or maintaining canals,
aqueducts, reservoirs, tunnels, fumes,
bitches or pipes for conducting or
storing water for the use of the city
and county of San Francisco or the
Inhabitants thereof.
Section 5. after setting forth that the
board shall obtain from the public
works compassion plans and estimates
of the cost of the acquisition or con-
struction of any public utility which
1t is desired to acquire, continues:
When the cost of such public utili-
ties or any Of them can be paid out
OF the annual revenue of the city and
county. in addition to the other neceS-
sary expenses thereof, the board of
supervisors shall. as soon after the
filing of the plans and estimates OF
cost thereof as it may deem for the
best interests of the city and county,
enter into such negotiations and con-
tracts as may be necessary for the
acquisition of the same.

There are few things more exasperat-
