Takes rlore Forest Reserve

Among the last things done by
the retiring President ot the Unit
ed States WAS to create number
Of new Fo.es. Reserves and thus
withdraw from settlement several
million more acres of our best land
There are now included within the
fores: reservations n half billion OF
acres. embracing an extensive CON
,iuent. Senator Teller in n recent
discussion in which the forestry
service asked for $500, Goo increas-
ed appropriations, made the follow
ing statement relative to the dis
crilnination made against miners
and settlers in cutting timber from
public lards for mining and agri-
cultural purposes. Mr.. Teller de
clareti the timber Ind been cut
legally and had yielded the govern
ment in precious metals many
times the value OF the timber. he
said he had drafted and procured
t;x passage of the act OF 1878. thht
aNowed tn, people Ct the West to
do what they had been doing with
out any law in tue cutting Of TIM
her on public land for mining.
"rhc men who sw-p, these hills

pubic rnbbers, but thry nc'ed in
accurdnn - with statutes aud they
returned to the government much
more than the timber WAS worth.
There has been no wiltnl dis

believe there is moral or any

the predictions concerning the tx

from correct. Colorado alone, he
said, could supply the world with
coal for $50 to 200 years.

arr covered with as fine u growth of
pines as can be found anywhere and
the nuts this year are of AN exceedingly
fine quality. AS All old Indian was
heard to rein ark: Heap pine nuts make
Iniun feel much good" SO the redskins
are beside themselves with joy. Camp
ing between Manhattan and Ralston
are no less than 70 Indians, with more
arriving eacl day. .a. .".
The Indians divide up in squads and.
armed witt baskets and poles, they
delvc into che forests in quest of the
nuts. With poles they knock the pine
cones from the trees and place them in
their baskets and then transport them
to their respective camps. Large fires
are then built and when they have died
down considerably the pine cones are
raked i'll among the Goals and after be-
coming thoroughly heated they are re-
moved and spread out upon the ground
and the beating OUT process begins
by pounding the cones with sticks. Each
cone will average about 80 nuts and it
requires no little time;and patience to
acquire any neat AMOUNT of the tiny
brown "goouies The nuts may be
procured: from the Indians at about 90
cents quart, and are considered cheap
at the price.
In pine-nutt ting time the Indians seem
to be most happy and content. AS they
roam ut will through the woods they
laugh and talk among themselves and
often break forth into their wierd and
apparently meaningless songs. Theirs
is the true simple life. With only the
blue canopy of heaven above them
they roll up in their blankets at dusk
and sleep until dawn, when they again
HE themselves to the woods in quest of
more nuts and pleasure.
1t is interesting to watch an Indian
eat pine mus. He has a system of
cracking the shells and making away
with the kernels that few whites can
equal, try as they do. A pine nut is only
IL trifile larger than q navy bean and
when white person attempts to eat
one he employs both hands, his teeth
and tongue. Not so with an Indian.
He feeds the nuts one at time into the
right side of his mouth and the shells
come out the left side in an endless pro-
ccssion. The tongue sees to it that the
kernels do not go astray. An Indian can
cat dozen pine nuts while a white
person is eating one. The writer heard
man remark the other day. that if he
WIS very hungry and tried to satisfy
his hunger with pine nuts he would
starve to death i'll the attempt:
