1t is recogsized by foresters that the
cost of artificial reforestation will not
always furnish fair basis for estimat-
ing the carnage to forest reproduction.
Where new growth can be expected by
natural sowing from seed trees on the
ground within a short time, artificial
planting or sowing is an unnecessarily
expensive method. To meet such cases
what are known as ''yield tables" are
being prepared. By the use of these
the loss can be shown in terms of the
final crop and the time necessary to
produce it.
Thus, if it is known that ten thous-
and feet of timber per acre can be cut
once in seventy years, it is easy to cal
culate the value of the crop when it is
ten years old by discounting from its
value when mature. In European
countries where forestry has been long
practiced this method is regularly ap-
piled in selling, condemning, or esti-
mating damages on forest property.
1t is also used abroad in insurance,
which would be impracticable if there
We're not both an accepted basis for de-
termining the loss suffered and rea-
sonably accurate knowledge of the

Damages Awarded to Government for
Destruction Of Young Forest.

In an action for fire trespass on the
Black Hills National forest brought by
the United States against the Missouri
River and Northwestern Railroad. the
jury has awarded damages to the gov
eminent not only for the loss of mer-
charitable young growth.
This is regarded BY government Of
ficials as establishing a very important
precedent. So far as is known at the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture, it is
the first time that any court has recog-
fiized what foresters call the ''expecta-
ton value" of young growth as furnish
ing a basis for the awaId OF
damages. The difficulty in the way of
such an award in the past has been
that there was no way to prove to the
satisfaction of the courts the money
value of the loss suffered.
The award in the South Dakota case
folloved the presentation of evidence
as to the cost of work in refore sting
which the government is actually do
ing in the Black Hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth burned
was s12 ali acre, and the claim under
| this item was allowed III full by the

these points that work is not being

While Chehaiis county, and the sec
ond con gressional district are large
ly republican in ordinary election
years, there is such a spirit of inde
pendence in the air this year, that
the election of several democratic
candidates is not at all improbab BILE
OF course their election would not
be along party lines. but would be
purely the result of independent vot
ing for the best men. Under the pri
mary law, party is not responsible
for the nomination of undesirable men
nor does party fealty require their
support especially when the issues
between the parties are so dim as
thew are at present.
The election of Maurice Lanehorre
to congress would be no great sur.
prise to those who are keeping tab
on the public pulse in the second dis
trict. Warburton's attempt to ride
the insurgent and standpat horses at
the same time has turned many pro-
gressive republicans to Langhorne.
They realize that on the old question

and that both are united in the strug-

has made that legislative body the
