Big Forestry Purchase

The National Forest Reservation Commission has authorized the purchase of tract of about 3l, ,000 acres of land lying in Fannin, Union, Lumpkin, and Gilmore Counties in the State of Georgia. The tract is located on the water. shed of the Toccoa River. which, after uniting with the Hiwassee. River, flows into the Tennessee. The report of the Geological Survey shows that it is a very important tributary, having in mind the purpose of conserving the stream flow. The tract of land which 1t is proposed to purchase Is covered with virgin forest. consisting largely of chestnut, oak, poplar, white pine, maple, locust and black gum. It Is mountainous tract, ranging in elevation from 2.000 to 5000 feet above sea level, in the heart of the Southern Appalachian mountains. The Commission is unanimous i'll consider ing that 1t Is tract which Is admin ably suited to fulfill the purposes for which the law was enacted.
 Many other tracts, both in the southern and northern Appalachians, including certain tracts in the White Mountains, are now under investigation by the Forestry Bureau and the Geological Survey, and as soon as reports are made by those bodies the Forest Commission wilEprooeed to their consideration.
 In view of the magnitude of the enter prise which is being thus begun. the board does not propose to pay any speculative or high prices for lands and will not purchase any land whinl will not conduce directly to the purpos < of the Act. This is necessary pot merely on grounds of sound policy aud economy, but IS also made necessary ou constitu- tlonal grounds, as the Act under which the Commission was created iS h4aed upon the power of the Feeder al Cover E- ment to regulate commerce and protect the navigability of streams.

LA TOILETTE TRICK SEEN
Certain Senator" for Roosevelt
Thought To Be Myth.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Nov. 27.--Senators and
Representatives who have tried I'm vain TO
solve the riddle OF the certain Senator"
who is supposed to have offered his sup
port to Colonel Roosevelt for the nomna-
ton in 1912 gave up guessing to-day and
accepted the explanation that the pre-con-
vention campaign is on.
Senator Lodge and others intimate with
Senator Crane refused TO consider seri-
ously the report that he was the certain
Senator" Senator Bourne also denied
that he had made such an offer. 1t was
generally believed that the certain Sen
ator" was a myth, and that the report
was merely method of diverting aid TO
the La Toilette cause on the ground that
he Is the only available candidate around
whom the Progressives may gather. That
ider was suggested in a statement attrib-
uted TO Clifford Pinchot 10 the effect that
the refusal of Colonel Roosevelt would
clear the air and prompt Progressives 10
rally around the Wisconsin Senator as
their candidate
The impression prevails that Senator La
Toilette I'm this role has not evoked the
enthusiasm necessary for the success OF a
Presidential aspirant The popularity CT
Colonel Roosevelt has been looked on as
having overshadowed him. Consequently
it was deemed necessary TO eliminate Mr..
Roosevelt from the popular mind as pos
sibity 10 give the La Toilette campaign
the full sweep. So an offer to support Mr..
Roosevelt was made for the purpose Of
drawing out refusal. This. at least is
the fashion in which some Of the politicians
explain the riddle of the certain SEN

were taken down scaling ladders from
the second floor. William Kerr. his wife
and their two children were carried down

In the Washington Heights Theatre,
a few doors from the burning building,

Thoma, the manager. had the curtain
rung down and his patrons did not know
until they reached the street that there
was a fire in the neighborhood. Later

left but their night clothes.

was about $4,000.
The cause Of the blaze. which started
