TOBACCO IN FAR OFF ALASKA

UNCLE SAM IS SLOW PAY

the government has acknowledged
that he has had coming to him for
some 80 years a small amount OF gov.

claim In connection with his old-time
army service, the doughty general sue.

Fair-minded people will think that
Uncle Sam, to do the handsome thing,
ought to pay the general interest on
the money he has not had the use OF
in this long period, but your Uncle
Samuel will do no such. thing. Hc

that, and never has. At fair interest
the claim would total more than $500.

REVENUE TO NORTHWEST

Portland, Ore.-Pending timber
sales from the national forest reserves
of Oregon and Washington will mean

of more than 100000. This sum Will

the two states, the counties benefited

The distribution of this money VIII
mean great improvement to both
states.
Sales this year will be the heavies
yet made from government reserves.
Last year sales in the two counties
aggregated 130,O00,O00 feet, board
measure. This year proposals have
been made for the purchase of about
$50, 100000 feet. Growing scarcity OF
timber on private holdings is lead
ing millmen to the reserves for logs
This increase is expected to continue
for the next few years until the point
Is reached where only mature timber
will be cut.

forestry law provides that rs per cent
of the stumpage revenue shall go tc
the state where the forest Is cut
This means that the revenue to the
two states for the coming year from
timber cut off forest reserve lands
will be about $1,200,00o.

surgent leaders are fearful of pre-
senting an issue for fear that 1t would

PATH 0F INSURGENTS AT WASHINGTON
IS BESET WITH MANY IMPLEMENTS

Then there are many important
places that are filled by the president,
without consulting the insurgent
members.
No Federal Patronage.
The most pointed intimation has
gone out from the White House that
until the insurgents get into line they
may hope in vain for the chance to
tap the barrel Of federal patronage.
The president has given his sanction
to this scheme of cutting off the per-
quisites of the insurgent members as
q club to whip them into line, with
the explanation that he desires that
his program of legislation shall not
be ieopardized by a schism within the
ranks of the majority, when just a
few derelictions might give the dem
ocrats a chance to step in and do mean
things with that antitrust and rail-
road regulation scheme.
Thus II is that census enumerators,
