SAW TIMBER FOR SALE

In anticipation of an increased demand for lumber throughout the southwest during this spring and summer, the Forest service has during the past few months been ascertaining on each national for est just what can be placed on the market during the coming year. All timber within the na- tional forests which can be cut safely and for which there is actual need is for sale. All dead timber is on the market; and green timber may be sold except where it's removal would make 8 second crop doubtful, reduce the timber supply below the point of safety. or injure the streams. The limited supply on some forests prevents sales ex- cept for local use.
 It has been found that in the territories of Arizona and New Mexico the total amount of saw timber available for sale each year is, roughly, about 126.761, ,OO0 feet B. M., in addition to large quan- tity of cordwood. The most exten- sive bodies of timber designated for sale are located on the Coco. nino, Gila, Jemez, Pecos, Carson, Datil, Apache and Sitgreaves na- tional forests. Upon the Coconino th number of board feet available each year is, roughly, 2S.O5O,OOO feet B. M.; Datil, 5,OOO,OOO; Gila, 31 1928, 900; Jemez, 13.OOO, 900; Sit greaves, 12.75O,OOO, and Apache, 11,S4O.OOO.
 This timber will be put on the market in quantities to suit the purchaser, provided the amount desired is not so large as to create a monopoly. All timber must be paid for in advance of cutting; the prices ip each case will be deter. mined on the ground, and the con- ditions of payment arranged with the purchaser.
 All timber sold on the national forests is cut and logged in accord ance with the principles of con- servative numbering, and low stumps, close utilization of merch. antable timber and the disposal of refuse are required.
 The sales are administered on a common sense basis by men of experience in this work in the southwest. All timber sales in which the amount exceeds $10O in value must be advertised for 30 days before the sale is awarded to the highest bidder. Sales for amounts less than $1OO in value do not require advertisement and can be made with very little formality.
 The forest officers in charge of the national forests will be glad to fully inform prospective buyers as to amount and the price of the tim Der to be sold, it's location, and the general requirements of the forest service in each case in regard to marking, logging, scaling and the disposal of refuse.

End of the Rough Rider Regime


 John Abernathy, United States marshal for the western district of Oklahoma. who won the admira- ton of ex-Presldent Roosevelt and also the office of marshal by catch ing wolves alive with his hands, is to step out under the new regime. Cash Cade has been recommended by the republican members of the Oklahoma delegation in congress as Abernathy's successor.
 Roosevelt appointed Abernathy in opposition to the wishes of the leading republican politicians of Oklahoma, to the vexation of the accredited representatives of the state. The republican leaders vowed during the last national campaign that with a new presi- dent the rough rider element would have to go. President Taft, it is said. will make clean sweep of MT. Roosevelt's rough rider friends. In addition to Abernathy, Ben Daniels and Seth Bullock, United States marshals respectively for Arizona and South Dakota. with others, will shortly lose their jobs.

OLD TIMER RECALLS
 STEAMBOAT" ADAMS
Word From Him Came Like a Mes sage From the Tomb.

To the Manager of Mesa Department
 of The Arizona Republican, Mesa,
 Arizona:
 Dear Sir and Friend:-The article in The Republican of Friday, 18th inst, untitled Voice from the Past Steamboat Adams" was to me a great surprise as much so as though it had been the voice from Abraham Lincoln, as I had supposed that this once noted Arizonian had passed be- yond many years ago. Myself, like Captain Calderwo knew him by laIns wells but never met him, as his name had almost become a by-word dur ing my early residence here begin ming in 1869, although Steamboat Adams had departed, his name was still retained and in 1870 when Rich ard c. Mccormick and Peter F.. Brady ran for congress l was at Yuma, and as an honest democrat, voted for the latter who received just eleven votes, but the whole day of election many amusing incidents occurred and many which the great city of Yuma would turn scarlet 1T repeated now among some of the cheering for the favorite candidates was the name of Steamboat Adams, for whom some of the boys declared they would cash their vote. The old boys he mentions in his letter T think are all dead. I think, however, one of his acQuaintances still sur wives who came to Arizona in 1865. and has resided here ever since. Will liam FOurr of Dragon Summit and founder of the Oatman Flat Station and Toll Road on the old Yuma and Tucson wagon road. He was at Yuma a great deal during the period that Adams mentioned, as he (FOurr) became famous at that time as the most venturesome mail carrier through what was then a very dan gerous route. l believe he is still at DragOOn now and has been engaged in cattle raising and some mining.
 It would be great joy to the few remaining old-timers to have some of the "reminiscences from the pen of the most famous living old-timer in fact it would be a real treat and should these humble expressions reach the eye of this long forgotten name I wish to express my great ap- preciation for his kind recollection of the old timers by favoring us with the kind words through The Repubii- can thanking you again we would re- joice still more if possible visit from him and instead of ruined cities mentioned in his reports he will find lots of thriving cities here now.
 Very truly

 BUSINESS CIRCLES
The Pioneer Market Sold to Joe Fink
 Of Tacoma, Wash.

An important deal was made on Saturday. when the Pioneer Market of this city was sold to Joe Fink of Tacoma, Wash. This market has been in operation for many years and has always done a gooG business. Twelve years ago it was purchased from Theo. Nicholas by J. E. Sur geon, who operated it in connection with his livestock business until the time of his death, which occurred in December, 1907. Since then it has been managed as a part of the es- tate, by the administrative, Mrs Sturgeon. Mir. Fink, who takes pos session on March lst is a butcher of more than ordinary experience, hay ing been apprenticed to a butcher in Germany when only If years of age. In accordance with the custom of that country he had to serve an ap- premiership of four years before he could secure a certificate entitling him to engage in the butcher busi- ness, which he did for several years before coming to America. Since that time he has been in Tacoma, Wash ington, in active business. He came to Salt River valley two months ago and has been so pleased with the country that he has invested and will locate permanently

THE NORMAL WINNERS
 OF TENNIS TOURNEY
Resulted Favorably For the Local
 Athletes.

The Normal has won the lions share in the annual tournament and 1t would be hard to throw a stone in that neighborhood without carom- ing on a champ or two. Out of a possible victory of five events in which four schools competed, the Normals came off modestly bearing three of the palms. Hart of the University. proved too much for Aver in the singles, and the mixed doubles went to the Indian school; but the gents doubles, ladies' doubles and ladies singles came as a reward for hard practise to the locals. Thomas and Halbert played fine tennis in the doubles; Miss May Mckay and Miss Kilsby outclassed the Indians who were the only contestants in this en- try; while Miss Nathalie Larson was the candy in the ladies' singles. The Normal school remains custodian of the cup for doubles, the university of the cup for singles. Whichever of these two schools shall win either of these events at next years tourna- ment will possess these trophys per manently.

Regarding the talented pianist, J. Homer Grunn who will be one of the performers here on that evening, The Musical Currier states of a recital given by him in Chicago as follows:
 Music Hall was opened again Sat urday, the Chicago debut of J. HOm- CT Grunn, a very talented pianist. who has lately joined the faculty of the Chicago Musical college. He chose for his initial performance an ambitious program. MT. Grunn was heard to best advantage in the Bee thoven and Rubinstein numbers. He has a very fluent and brilliant tech nique and abundant temperament, in clining constantly to the virtuOso side of the art. He has confidence, admirable control and excellent mu- sicianship, and held the attention and interest of his hearers from the first. The two Etudes of his own proved very grateful composition and were well received by the audience"
