Benefits Distributed Thru forestry De-
partments

During the last fiscal year ending
June 80, the United States Forest Ser
vice issued to settlers in the neighbor-
hood Of National Forests in western
states over $4,000 free use" permits,
under which the settlers received free
about 264, 1000 cords Of firewood, posts,
poles and sawlogs, worth sos, 800, OF
about 81 cents per cord in the forest
a low valuation.
Besides this, the different states re-
ceived for school and road purposes 25
per cent Of the income from the
National Forests amounting last year
to SAL, 064. The direct return 10
the states in lieu of taxes on the l47
million acres, the estimated area Of IN
patented land in the National Forests
amounted then in the last year to SOLO,
384 in cash and free use" timber.
In 1907, the total of free use"
material and money paid over amounted
to about s253,400. The increase Of
the amount given to the states from 10
per cent to 25 per cent course is
largely responsible for the large return
in 1908, but even had this percentage
not been changed a good increase
would have been shown, despite the
generalization Of the lumber business
caused by the financial furry. In fact
this increase may be looked for up to
many times the present amount as the
demand for timber increases and the
forests are developed more and more.

Ten Days of AbOminabIe Zero Weather

If the editor Of this paper has ever
told his dear readers tia; i does not
get cold here ne desires here and now
to say that it is evident that il can
get just about as cold here as It does
at the north pole. Beginning Monday
night, January 4, a cold wave struck
this blooming section Of led apples
and roses which continued for ten days.
Tuesday morning the thermometer in
front of The Echo Office indicated a
temperature Of four degrees below zero,
other instruments in this town indica-
ted from two TO six degrees lower tenn
perature. On the morning Of January
s the temperature fell 10 degrees
below and continued 10 fall lower every
night until Saturday night when a
degree of cold was reached which the
thermometer indicated to be Is below
zero. Sunday, January 10 a warm
current Of air from the Sound raised
the temperature to y above At 2
o'clock. In less than one hour after
wards the mercury began to fall again
and on the morning Of January I at 7
O'Clock, indicated 10 degrees below
zero. It remained cold all that day.
the mercury never rising higher than 4
below. Al s o'clock on Tuesday
evening the little weather indicator
showed y below; at 9 it had fallen to
10; at 10 to Is below, and At half past
eleven the lowest temperature Of this
prolonged cold spell was recorded, when
The Echo instrument indicated almost
81 degrees Of cold. Between that
hour and daylight the temperature rose
to II below at o'clock on Wednes-
day morning. Thursday morning at
the same hour It was 10 below. By
II o'clock It was u above with an
indication that the coolest spell Of
weather which the oldest fnhabitant Of
this region can recall had finally
broken.
The number OF instances of frozen
and bursted water pipes in this town
are too numerous TO mention. The
The water pipe leading to the motor
in The Echo Office was frozen and
bursted. Until yesterday afternoon at
3o'clock it was doubtful if this expo
nent of public opinion would
get out on time, but remembering
that many of its readers would not
know if it was Friday for sure unless
The Echo was in the postofice, great
effort was made, the situation was
saved, and the reputation OF The Echo
upheld by the timely help of Frank
Sutton, one of the best plumbers, the
most accommodating of men and alto
gether the best fellow in this world.
It is due the readers of The Echo
to say that the intellectual junk factory
which operates in connection with the
plant and supplies the weekly install
ment Of its editors personal opinion
is frozen up. The think tank is empty.
That which should be brains rattles
around like seed in a last years gourd.
Before the cold spell set in the editors
system was full Of things that would
have been unloaded on the readers Of
this great moral sheet but alas, the
cold wave has left them in the con-
condition OF cabbage leaf on frosty
morning. When the think tank thaws
out the customary amount of mental
pabulum will be dished up again.

Opportunity.

The following srkingly beautiful lines written by
Judge Waiter Malone of Memphis Tenn. The poem SO
said is sought and often quoted than
ingalls, Opportunity" Editor
lhey do me wrong who say come no more
When once | knoch and fail to find you in;
FOR every day stand outside your door
And bid you wake, and rise to fight and win.
Wall not for precious chances past away,
Weep not for golden ages on the wane!
Eaeh night | burn the records of the day
At sunrise every soul is born again!
Laugh like boy at splendors that have sped,
To vanished Joys be blind and deaf and dumb;
My judgments seal the dead past with its dead,
But never bind moment yet to come
though deep in mire, wiring not your hands and weep
lend my arm to all who say 81 cant"
NO shame-faced outeast sank SO deep
But yet might rise and be again man!
Lost thou behold thy lost youth all aghast?
Dost reel from righteous Retribution's blow?
lhen turn from blotted archives of the past
And find the futures pages white as snow.
Art thou mourner? Rouse thee from thy spell;
Art thou sinner? Sins may be forgiven
Eaeh morning gives thee wings to flee from hell,
Each night a star to guide thy feet to heaven.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23-President Taft
has no intention of sending TO Congress
a special message asking for an investi-
CATION by that body of the sugar trust

found guilty at the port OF New York
In fact, it was stated at both the White
House and the Department OF Justice to-
day that such an inquiry at the present
time would be about tho worst thing that
could happen. IL Congress is really an
xious to bring the officers OF that corpora
tlon to justice and recover for the gov
ernment all OF the money OF which It has
been defrauded.
1t is admitted that other indictments are
expected as the result Of the investiga-
tions which are still In progress, and It
is pointed out that II sugar trust officials
we're called before congressional inves-

undoubtedly take a wide range and might
result in giving immunity to some OF the
