LARD SUBSTITUTES INSPECTED
Must be Subjected to Same E1-
animation as Meat

Washington, Oct. 10.-Secre-
tary Wilson's meat inspectors
will continue to inspect lard sub
stitute, and not a pound of that
article can go into interstate or
foreign commerce unless it bears
the mark u. S. Inspected and
Passed." This is the gist of an
opinion rendered today by Judge
Fowler, who is acting as Attor-
ney General during the absence
in Alaska Of Mr.. Wickersham.
Judge Fowler in his opinion
holds that lard substitute, which
is cooking compound made up
of 1-5 animal fat and 4-5 cotton
seed oil, is fairly within the def
inition of q meat food product
and must be inspected under the
meat inspection law.
Acting Secretary of Agricul-
ture Hays said today: THE
opinion of the Attorney General
confirms the construction placed
upon the law by Secretary Will
son. We have inspected lard
substitute ever since the meat
inspection law was passed. We
never had any doubt about the
matter, but some Of the manu.
facturers Of lard substitute
thought inspection Of their pro-
duct was not required"

SAN FRANCISCO MAKING
GREAT EFFORT
Is Raising Many Millions for the
Panama Exposition
EASTERN NEWSPAPER
COMMENTS FAv0RABLY

The extraordinary energy and
resourcefulness exhibited by
San Francisco in its great fgh,
for congressional recognition ot
its claims TO be officially desig
mated as the site for the Panama
Pacific exposition is regarded by
the Cleveland Plain Dealer with
amazement and admiration.
The fact that San Francisco
has planned 10 raise Sl1 800, 900
for the exposition makes the ed.
itor gasp in astonishment and
while he commends the spirit he
doubts the wisdom Of the risk.
That doubt however has been
shared by others and quickly dis
appears when the immeasurable
resources Of California and the
comprehensiveness of the plans
for the exposition are thorough
ly understood.
Commenting on the fight for
the exposition the Plain Dealer
says:
When a man mortgages his
home or his business to buy an
automobile for pleasure, think.
ing people comment on his lack
of judgment. What, then,
should be said of a state which
mortgages the future to build an
exposition?
That is virtually what Califor-
MIA has decided to do. The as
sembly has authorized two
amendments to the state consti-
tuition, one permitting the rails
ing of 100000 by special tax.

and the other permitting San

careful Investigations are neces-
sary. The indiscriminate expen-
diture of money is alright to
promote a sort of community
prosperity, but, having a false
foundation, it cannot endure,
and brings no returns to the in
vestor.
Since the first of February, the
sum of fourteen thousand dollars
has been expended in improve
ment work in Alamogordo and
vicinity. Eight hundred acres of
ground have been cleared and
made ready for cultivation. One
hundred and twenty three acres,
to be known as the Kempner
Subdivision, have been plated.
Nearly a thousand dollars is now
being spent to clean nine hundred
and seventy one and one half
lots owned by the company.
Every penny of this expendi-
ture by the company has had a
tendency to increase the value
of the property owned by indi-
viduals. The company will spend
more money as soon as plans can
be made to insure judicious
expenditure.

GOVERNMENT IS AWARDED
DAMAGES FOR FIRES

Must be Paid For
BLACK HILLS" JURY
RETURNS VERDICT

In an action Tor tire trespa-s
on the Black Hills National For.
est brought by the United States
against the Missouri River aud
Northwestern Railroad, the jury
has awarded DAMAGES to the
Government not only for the loss
~ merchantablc timber hut also
for the destruction Of unmsr.
chantable young growth.
This is regarded by Govern
ment officials a. establishing a
very important precedent. So
far as is known at the L. ;. De.
partment of Agriculture, it is
the first time that any court has
recognized what foresters call
the expectation value Of
young growth as furnishing a
basis for the award 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 suf-
, fered.
The award in the South Dakota
case followed the presentation Of
evidence the cost o { work
in reforesting which the Gov
eminent is actually doing in
the Black Hills. The amount
claimed for the young growth
burned was $l2 all acre, and the
claim under this item was allow
ed in full by the jury. The total
amou-t of damages claimed was
90, ,72S.S4,of which 2,634. 40 was
for merchantable TIM ber destroy
ed or injured by the fire.
1t is recognized by foresters
that the cost of artificial refores.
tation will not always furnish a
fair basis for estimating the
damage to forest reproduction.
Where new growth can be ex-
pected by natural sowing from
seed-trees on the ground within
a short time, artificial planting
/, or sowing is an unnecessarily ex-
pensive method. To meet such
cases what are known as yield
ia bles" are being prepared. BY
the use of these the loss can be
shown in terms Of the final crop
and the time necessary to pro-
duce it.
Thus, if it is known that ten
thousand feet of timber per acre
can be cut once in seventy years,
it is easy to calculate 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 re-
gularly applied in selling, con-
demning. or estimating damages
on forest property. 1t is also us
ed abroad in insurance, which
would be impracticable if there
were not both an accepted basis
for determining the loss suffered
and a reasonably accurate knowl-
edge of the hazard involved.
