Timber Cutting.
While discussion OF the rules and reg
| ulations concerning the cutting and sell
| ing OF timber may TO some seem out OF
place i'm this convention. nevertheless
ann confident that the men who compose
| this convention are broad minded enough
TO take part in this question from every
standpoint. The regulations surround
| ing the cutting OF timber in the reserves
| arc quite rigid and necessarily 90. II
| Is very proper that tops should be piled
and eyery precantion taken tc prevent
forest fires. Much has been accomplished
along this line that is very commendablc.
| Tho rule of the forest service is that
the settler can cut his own timber and
but it does not work out I'm fact. The
price OF lumber in this intermountain re-
sion Is excessive in great many in
| stances.

no inquiry Is made as 10 price. the lum
ber from this timber goes into the open

in almost this entire mountain region.
II is Il tact that In certain places within

and Washington. in some instances as
far ~ 1000 miles: on the other hand. lum-
| her is cut in tho forest by mill com

! the Oregon lumber and both arc sold a

require much OF an argument TO- prove

II belongs 10 all tho people OF the United

any objection from the lumber dealers.

have no fear OF the investigation by the

Where Is Advantage?
II the price Of fsmbcr continues 10 90

many millions OF acres that are set apart
as forest reserves 10 control In some de-

use. II. on the other hand, We have tho
! timber. We certainly have the right 10
