. Settlers Have to Move

Tombstone, Ariz.-It is only dur ing the past year or so that mum Der of settlers were compelled to move off of the Boquillas grant. leaving everything except their live stock after they had lived on the land and improved it for a quarter of a century, and then had nothing to show for their iabors
 Another similar instance is abou, to be added to the list of fraudu- lent land grants and many settlers to be thrown from, their homes at the loss of several thousand dollars
 While in this city, on Monday, E. B. Perrin, Jr, made the state ment that his father and others who were the owners of the Babo- coari land grant were now making preparations for the removing of all the settlers that are living on the grant. It will mean the eject ment of settlers who have been settled on the grant for over twen- ty years

To Take Census of Forests

Washington dispatch: The house committee on census has been asked by Clifford Pinchot, chief of the forestry department, and others to recommend to the house of repre- sentatives the passage of a bill ap- propriating S25O,OOO for taking the census of all the standing timber in the United States-the first pro- posal of the kind ever made to congress MT. Pinchot informed the committee that at the present rate of consumption, 100 billion feet a year, the timber resources of the United States will be exhausted in twenty years. The purpose of the tree census is to acquaint the people with the facts and thereby persuade them to economize in lumber consumption and to take an interest in forest preservation.

Coleman's Quarterly Report

Dr: J. w. Coleman, of Tucson. who is secretary of the Arizona board of public health, has just is sued a quarterly bulletin in which he gives a record of the births and deaths for the quarter, which in cluded October, November and De- cember.
 In the total for .he entire terri tory as-reported by the different county health officers the death list exceeds the birth list, but this is due to the large number of persons who come to the territory in search of health
 In Apache, Coconino, Cochise, Gila, Graham, Navajo and Yuma counties the number of births was greater than the number of dea ths, while in the other counties the number of deaths was greater than the number of births.
 The births for the quarter were 46S, which was an increase of 46 over the quarter which ended Sep tember 30.

To Choose Site for Odd Fellows Home

The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows will convene in Phoenix in April, when that body will very likely decide upon the location of the home which they propose to ere ct for the care of old people and for orphans left in their care by their deceased members. A number of propositions have been submitted to the committee having this mat ter in hand, from various places in the territory, some offering to do nate sites and some offering to sell sites. It is proposed to make this home a permanent institution fol good and a credit to any section oi the territory where it might be located. The Odd Fellows have had this matter in contemplation for number of years, during which time they have been steadily accumulating funds for the pur- pose until they have now several thousands of dollars invested in various securities which, when a site has been selected, will be turned into cash and expended in the erection of buildings, furnishings, etc.-Republican.

board feet, reach total of approx imately 50 billion board feet.


 board feet, reach total of approx imately 50 billion board feet.
 While these drains upon the for ests are known with reasonable cer- tainlv, there are others of which there is no record. These are the demand for posts, fuel and domes- tie purposes, regarding which it is more difficult to obtain informa- ton, because the products often pass through no market. but are consumed on the farm where they were produced. Careful estimates, however. place the total of wood used for fuel alone at an equivalent at 50 billion board feet year. It will be seen, then, that Il 6 present consumption of wood in all forms is above 100 billion board feet annually. Estimating the fol- est area of the United States at from 500 to 700 million acres, and the annual growth al 60 board feet per acre, the yearly increase is from 30 to 42 billion feet. At this rate the annual growth barely equals the amount consumed for lumb Der alone Considering all the drains, the annual consumption of wood is probably three times the annual growth. Detailed estimates of standing timber range from 14OO 10 20OO billion feet. Using the larger figure, and considering the annual growth of 40 billion feet, , it appears that there is not more than 33 years supply Of timber in this country at the present rate of consumption.
 At present only about 22 per cent of our total forest area is in state or national forests, the re- mainder being unreserved public lands or in private hands. The forest area is amply sufficient, if rightly managed, to produce event. ually enough timber to supply all our needs. Yet private owners, as well as the state and national gov arp rno,fu muSt uSa their forest lands in right way if we are to maintain our timber supply.

DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS

Since 1880 the sources of lumber supply have undergone remarka ble changes. The first change was in the regions from which the principal kinds of lumher were pro cured. and this was followed by the substitution of other kinds of wood in their places. Neither the cen ters of the lumber industry nor the leading classes of wood are the same as they were 9 years ago. In 1880 nine states Michigan. Penn sylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Texas. Arkansas, Mississippi, Lou isiana and Washington-produced B per cent. or more than half of the total lumber production of the United States. In 1906 these states produced 51.5 per cent, practically the same proportion, but the changes which have taken place in the output of individual states are very striking. Michigan. for in stance, cut 23 per cent of the tota in 1880 and but 5.6 per cent in 1906; Louisiana cut 07 per cent oi the total in 1880 and 7.5 per cent in 1906; Washington furnished but 09 per cent of the lumber produc tion of 1880 and 115 per cent oi that of 1906 The cutting out oi the virgin timber in the north ard east has been followed by increased drains upon the forest. resources oi the south and west.
 Despite these conditions the amount of timber required has in. creased year by year. The increase in consumption of timber since 1880 has been more rapid than the increase of the population, and greater than in any similar period in the history of the country. This shows in striking manner how much the nation depends upon forest products, and indicates how great tly all interests must suffer as lumber becomes scarcer and dearer
 Statistics gathered by the bureau of he census and the forest service show that the quantities of timber used last year for lumber, shin gles, ties, pulp wood, cooperage stock, mine timbers, lath, distilla- tion, veneer, poles, tanning, and turpentine and rosin, expressed in

 Young man, let us give you the benefit of our observation. We have noticed that at least nine-tenths of the young men who have been be- fore the courts for misdemeanors are those who take no interest whatever in education, seldom read a newspaper, and are always ready to make fun of other young men who try to be somebody. It comes natural to them to discourage the studious and ambitious young men of thelr acquaintance. Their minds run toward dirty stories, midnight sprees and bad company. This in a short time means trouble, sher- ifs invitation to attend court and a fine or a term in jail.-Ynma Sentinel.
