Mistake Profit. Western states.

Washington.-Through inadvertence
the Western states containing forest
reserves will receive twenty-five per
cent. Of the receipts for the sale of
timber, rental of forest grazing lands,
concessions and leases for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1908, instead of
the ten per cent. which they were ex-
pected to receive under the agricultur-
al appropriation act passed at the
second session Of the Fifty-ninth Con-
gress. This increase to the states for
the year 1908 was one outcome of the
fight made against the forest service
policy by certain Western Senators
notably Hepburn of Idaho, Teller Of
Colorado, Carter of Montana, and
Clark Of Wyoming.
During the controversy In the SEN
ate on the subject, an amendment to
the agricultural appropriation bill was
proposed, providing that twenty-five
per cent. of the money received from
each forest reserve should be expend-
ed as the state or territory In which
such forest reserve was located might
prescribe. In drafting the amendment,
the language of the prior act was used.
which read, including the year end
Ing June 30, 19Os," and. the amend
ment as thus framed was adopted.
AS the receipts for the current fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1908, will
be about $2,000,000, the western states
will receive 100000 for the use of
schools, Improvement OF roads,
bridges, etc., instead of 100000, as
was expected.

The nine hundred thousandth patent
from the United States Patent Office was
issued on Saturday, and to it was attach
ed the name of Patent Commissioner
Moore. The patent wasan improvement
on travelling stairs, such as are used in
hotels and other large building.
In the early history of the nation the
law required that patents should be sign
ed by the President, and as the first one
was issued during the first Presidential
administration it was signed by President
Washington. 1t covered a device for
making pearl ashes, and the document
itself is said to be now owned by a
Chicago collector.
As going to show the inventive tend
ency of the American mind as compared
with other countries, Mr.. Moore calls
attention to the fact that Notwithstanding
this is among the newest of nations and
is only one among many, the total of
patents issued by the United States is not
very far below the total for all other
countries for all time.

Josephns Daniels, Chairman of the
Publicity Bureau of the Democratic
National Committee, has been asking a
few questions of Attorney General Bona
parte, concerning trusts and trust prose-
cutions. Among other things he wants
to know how many trusts the Roosevelt
Administration has busted" and how
many trust officials criminally prosecuted
have been put in Jail? With 223 new
trusts born under the Mckinley and
Roosevelt Administrations, and none
effectively put outsof business, how lor G
will it take the republican party to free
the people from>the grip of the 2S7 trusts
now fattening upon them!
Mr.. Daniels asserts that the Attorney
General in his recent reply to the inquiry
for statement showing how many trusts
doing business in the United States had
been prosecuted by the Department Of
Justice, did not furnish the information
desired, but, instead, confused the prose-
cutions under the Sherman Antitrust
law with the prosecutions of railroads aud
individuals under other acts.
