Washington, Dec. 1.-THE first
figures of the inventory of the forests
of the United States which the ma
tional conservation commission has
made were presented to the confer
ence yesterday by Senator Smoot of
Utah. chairman of the section of for
ests of the commission.
Senator Shoots report is a sum
mary of the great mass of statistics
which the first inventory represents.
The report represents six month 6
work on the part of the forests sec
ton and presents the most striking
figures of the forests inventory.
In part the report is as follows:
Next to our need of food and wa
ter comes our need of timber Our

than " million men and women.
Forests not only grow timber, but
they hold the soil. and they conserve
streams for all useful purposes, How
far forests increase the rain is not
yet known. 1t is well known that
they check wind, and work against
excessive heat or cold. That they
make for the fiber, health and hap
piness of each citizen and of the ma
tion. has been known since history
began.
The fish which live in forest wa
ters furnish each year 21 million
dollars worth of food. and not less
than half as much is furnished by
the game which could not exist with
out the forest.
Our forests now cover $50 million
acres, or about one-fourth of the
United States. The original forests
covered not less than $50 million
acres. or nearly one-half

MANY VITAL FACTS
MADE PUBLIC

ber Not less than so million acres
of forest is burned over yearly
One-fourth of the standing timber
is left or otherwise lost in logging.
The boxing of long leaf pine for tur
pentining has destroyed one-fifth of
the forests worked. The loss in the
mill is from one-third to two-thirds
of the timber sawed. The loss in
the mill product. through seasoning
enth to one-fourth.
Only 800 feet of lumber are used
for each 1000 feet which stood in
the forest.
We take from our forests each
year. not counting the loss by fire
3 u times their yearly growth.
Our lumber cut has increased less
than / per cent in the last seven
years: but the average price of all
kinds of lumber at the mill has risen
40 per cent. and the rise will con-
tinue.
We invite by overtaxa ton the mis-
use of our forests. We destroy by
fire enough standing timber in one
year to last the nation for three
months. We should plant. to pro-
tect farms from wind and to make

A Remarkable WAGON.

J. B. Boyer of Sohola township, Pike
county, Pennsylvania, has a farm wa
gon the woodwork of which he built
himself in 1863 in wagon shop in
Barryville, N. Y. in which he was an
apprentice. Mr. Boyer did all the wood
work on the wagon by lamplight,
sawed the hubs, split and hewed every
spoke, felloe and axle. Purchasing a
farm in Shohola township the same
year, Mr.. Boyer took his wagon with
him to the farm and has used it con-
Stantly ever since. He has never had
the tires set or dollars worth of re-
pair done to it, and to all appearance
it is good for another century. Aside
from good workmanship and material
the secret of its lasting qualities is
due to the fact that it has always been
housed when not in use.

WHERE ENGLISH JUSTICE ERRs.
American Variety Not Quite So Bad

1t is only a century since the death
penalty was inflicted in England for
theft not exceeding the value of a
sheep. Now some of the London jour-
nails are making a merciless exposure
of magistrates throughout the king
dom who keep up the tradition by SEN
fencing petty thieves to Jail, while in
flicting only trifling fines upon wife
heaters and even more brutal offend
ers. Ia one police court one defend
ant was fined $3.50 for knocking his
wife down in the street because she
refused to give him money for drink,
and another was sentenced to 60 days
Imprisonment for damaging growing
potatoes and stealing two footballs.
For cruelty to horse, beating his
wife, who was i'll, with fist and ham,
mer and leaving her with nothing to
eat, one man was fined two dollars,
while another, charged With stealing
pair of socks valued at IL cents, got
ii days hard labor. 1t would not be
difficult to make up list of similar
cases from American police courts, yet

toward higher estimate of the value
