1t is believed that lats summers
fires either. burned up or killed be-
tween, one and two per cent of the
total stand of National forest timber.
At the present rate of cutting from
the National forests, billion feet is
equal to IL years supply but it is
less than one-sixth of a single years
cut in the entire country, or enough
to keep all our lumber mills busy
or something under two months.

way towards them, forced these part
les to seek refuge Wherever 1t could
be found, and swept down upon the
forests where the fires were ups TO
that time generally well in hand. The
extensive loses are ascribed to the
combination of hurricane and lack Of
means to get to the fires and put
them out before the storm came. On
the forests which were best equipped
for controlling fires the results achie-
we'd are regarded as demonstration
of the efficacy of the fire-fghting
methods employed, even under highly
adverse natural conditions.
Forester Graves believes that, as
usually happens in the case of big
fires, there will be found to be con-
siderable areas of living timber with
in the regions now mapped as en-
tirely burned over. OF necessity, the
figures given are tentative, for it has
been impossible to examine all the
burned areas thoroughly. AS fast as
possible, however, the forets officers
are locating and estimating the bodies
of timber killed but capable of being
numbered, if taken in time. There
will be an enormous quantity of fire.
killed timber, both on the National
Forests and on private lands, to be
disposed of as soon as possible, since
If not marketed quickly It will not
be worth cutting at all. -
The department Of agriculture will
push vigorously to dispose Of this
fire-killed timber. As with all other
National Forest timber, it will be
sold on the stump, to mill men who
.will.alumber the land, paying ssas set
price per thousand board feet for the
timber, and conforming to whatever
regulations are stipulated in the in
terest of the forest. Pending the dis
posal of this fire-killed timber, future
sales of green timber from the Ma
tional forests which were badly burn
ed last summer will probably be
greatly restricted, if not entirely sus-
pended.
Since the amount to be disposed
of its doubtless greater than can be
marketed in any event, and since it is
better for the country that the tim
Der should be utilized than that it
should go to waste in the. woods, the
price at which twill be sold will be
lower than would be asked for the
timber under ordinary circumstances.
Generally speaking, Secretary Wilson
does not regard 1t as wise public
policy to sell off the National forest
timber except when it is in reason
ably good demand, for the country
is sure to need the supply badly lat
err on. But with the fire-killed tim
Der it is a case of now or never. Con-
sequently there is an unusual open
ing for lumbermen who are ready to
buy National Forest stumpage at barr
gain prices. '"
How much of the 6 billion feet
which was either killed or burned up
in Montana and northern Idaho can
eventually be salvaged it is of course
impossible to-. predict II it we're AL
a total loss, and IL its stumpage val
ne were put at the average price at
which National forest timber was sold
last year, it would be the equivalent
of money loss Of about fifteen mil
lion dollars.

Cannon's Defeat.

Just to think that in great and in
telligent nation like this, for many
years, Cannon and his four associates,
the committee on rules, have prevent
ed if not controlled such Legislation
as they and their representatives have
wished. That no such condition
should exist we need no argument.
The people have at last rebelled, the
democrats and the insurgent republi-
cans took from him not only his chair
manship. but even membership on the
committee on rules, wherein lay his
chief power. A political war was On
when a tig democrat from Texas &C
cepted the speakers challenge and in
trOduced resolution to throw him
out of the SpeakerShip. Later vote
was taken, the house defeating reSO-
luton by representative BuIlesOn, of
Texas. declaring the speakership va
cant, so it remains to be seen what
the outcome of this political cOntrO-
versY will be. Let us hope that when
peace reigns again that there will be
such an understanding that no one. or
set of men in that assembly will try TO
CONTROL affairs.

Another Man Killed Near BryantsviII.

Another Man Killed near 6ryont$vuie
After the RECORD had gone to press
last week the shocking report came
that Luther Ray had killed Cree d
Turner and Ray was probably fatally
wounded, near BrYantsville in this
county. The fight was elimination
of a series of criminal prosecutions of
various charges against Greed Turner
and his son Gilbert Turner Jr. in the
courts Of Garrard county IN which
Luther Ray had been summoned as a
witness for the Commonwealth to test
ify against the Turner'S. Sometime
ago Gilbert Turner Jr. was indicted on
the charge Of injecting a lot of hogs
Of Sam MOrfOrdS with chOlO.ea and
U. 6. Rainse was a witness IN the
trial of that case. After the trial,
while returning from Mt Hebron
church in company with Young lady
about nine O'Clock at night while pass
ing though the shadow of some shrub
cry, Rainse was assaulted and severe
ly beaten over the head with a large
stick. The grand jury had indicted
Creed Turner for this offence. At the
present term of the court Turner had
made an affidavit by which he had pro
cured continuance of this case the
defense cont lining statements that it
is repolt ID offended Luther Ray who
was witness against Turner. 1t is
said that few days previous to the
difficulty, hot words had passed be-
tween Ray and Greed Turner's brother
Gilbert, who is prominent citizen in
the community of the trouble and who
has been an active supporter Of Greed
in all his trials in court.
Both the Turner'S and Ray are
known to be fearless and neither of
whom would avoid trouble should he
think the other to be seeking it. On
late Thursday afternoon Ray walked
from his residence through his front
yard toward the pike armed with a
pistol and shot gun in his hand and
at that time Creed Turner, his son.
Gilbert, and cousin Frank Turner,
who were also armed with pistols and
shot guns came along the road and
were about to pass the front gate OF
Rays home, and the shooting began
Immediately. Reports are conflicting
as to who fired the first shot. 1t is
said that both Greed and his son were
shooting at Ray but it is not known
whether Frank Turner fired any shots
during the battle. When the smoke
cleared away Greed was dead with a
charge of buck shot in his face and a
pistol shot through his head. Meth
er Gilbert, Jr., Dor Frank had been
wounded, Ray was seriously il not ia
tally wounded with charge Of buck
shot in his abdomen and pistol shots
through his right shoulder. and right
side. After the fight had ceased Ray
was able to walk toward his home
which was only short distance
When he had almost reached his front
door, while his face was turned toward
the scene of battle another shot rang
out which struck Ray directly in the
forehead and fell him to the ground.

come from distance OF more than
100 yards is said to be the most serious

Want A Clean Town

The recent raid on Turtle Lake
blind pigdom reveals to the pub
lie the fact that this community
has teen supporting seven blind
piggers. Board and room at Turtle
Lake costs seven dollars week.
These piggers have all been
boarded and roomed with profits
from the sale of booze therefore
we know we have been donating
$40 a week $500 a month and
$2400 a year toward keeping set
of booze venders in Turtle Lake
We know it takes $24OO to feed
and board seven blind piggers q
year. We also know that we pay
them at least $4,000 besides what
they eat or they'd not bother about
staying. The truth of the matter
is about $4,000 has passed through
the hands of Turtle Lake booze
venders the past year. In return
for this the piggers get us drunk,
short change us and someone rolls
us for our wad. They sell fools
booze, who fight and use the
foulest kind of language on the
streets and in business places re-
gardIess Of the presence of ladies
and gentlemen.
They promote gambling by
furnishing the resorts and liquor.
They send men off to take the
Kelley Cure, and worst of all they
are always stirring up mess and
costing the county lot of money.
1t is best to soak them good and
hard and be through with it.
There is no sense in harboring
blind piggers and all the disagree
ableness that goes with the voca.
tion. We need all the money that
this country can scrape up to buy
our groceries with anyhow.--Wave.
