Cook Score. Pinehot.

Washington.-In the closing debate
in the House on the agricultural bill,
Representative Cook challenged the
statement recently published by For
ester Pinchot that the receipts of his
bureau are in excess of the expendi-
lures. He cited the testimony of Mr..
Pinchot before the agricultural COM
mittee that expenses of his bureau for
the year ending June 30, 1907, were
$G4,OOO in excess Of the receipts.
He predicted that the receipts for
the current year would not show an
increase, as predicted by Pinchot, but
on the contrary, would show a de-
crease on account of the inactivity in
mines usually using large quantities
of timber. Mr.. Cook said further that
the price placed on mining timber by
the bureau, IS per thousand, is unreas-
enable and excessive.
He called attention to the arbitrary
ruling of the bureau requiring mining
companies purchasing timber to cut
and remove it from the forests within
a year. In closing he said:
Now what we want in Colorado in
the management of the forest bureau
is less sentiment and more practicable
ity, fewer Harvard graduates and rough
riders and some practical lumber and
millmen who know something about
the business from experience, and that
the forestry bureau shall comply strict
ly with the law"

INV TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No

for carelessness Of application. any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear we'll.
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
