maximum of $4,000 could under any
possibility be used for agricultural pur-
poses, the rest being steep mountain

been investigating the timber value of
similar classes of land. You viii readily
recognize that land simply as raw stump
land has value for the purpose OF grow
ing timber. If, for instance, an acre of
land will produce under natural condi-
tions 50, 600 feet of timber board meas
ure at the end of 75 wears, it is readily
possible to determine the present capt.
tailzee value of that land by assuming
the probable stumpage value of the tim
Der at the end of rs years, and discount
ing that value to the present, making
due allowance for reasonable cost of
protection, interest on the money in
vested, etc. In order to arrive at this
valne, which is known technically as the
SOIL expectation value, it is necessary to
make extensive measurements on areas
OF standing timber, and to work up
these measurements into tables. which
will show the present value of any type
OF land simply for the purpose of raising
timber; showing also the yield of timber
per acre which it is possible to obtain
from lands of various site qualities at
the end of different periods. Such meas
urements have been taken on the Kan
iksu National Forest, and the results
have been reduced to tables which are
on file in my office. With such data
available it is then>a simple matter to
compare the present value of land for
timber purposes with its present value
for agricultural purposes, and by this
comparison will be determined the policy
OF the Forest Service in handling the
heavily timbered agricultural lands of
the Kaniksu National Forest.
In regard to the amount of this land,
which | have stated above approximates
$4,000 acres, would say that that area
is the extreme maximum. The exact
amount it is impossible to state offhand,
and it will not be known until the com.
pletion of the next seasons field work.
From my own knowledge of the coun-
try, however, believe that the total of
this class of land will be shown by de
tailed examination not to exceed 20 QUO
acres; and this 10000 acres is very gen.
orally scattered the full length of Priest
River valley, from the south boundary
of the forest to the valley of the Upper
Priest, beyond the Lead OF Upper Priest
Lake. A few thousand acres is located
on the Washington side of the forest,

creek. Most of this half of the forest.

occupied without injury 10 the National
Forest, that lands such as narrow strips
of alder bottom along drivable streams,
and lands which through their situation
control important dam sites, banking
grounds, etc., should not be listed, since
the occupation of such lands for agricul-
tural purposes would work an irrepar-
able injury upon the National Forest,
in that they would very seriously handi-
cap the sale OF timber and other admin
istrative uses, which was the main pur-
pose tor which the National Forest was
created. No considerable intelligent
objections have been raised to the action
OF the Forest Service in thus withdraw
ing from listing lands which were OBJ
viously necessary for administrative
purposes. or which through the exercise
of reasonable foresight and prudence
could be seen to have probable future
value for euch purposes. On the other
hand. more or less agitation has always
been raised in this vicinity in regard to
the determination of whether or not
lands were chiefly valuable for agricul-
tural when euch lands were covered with
q heavy stand of tim Der. In accordance
with its constant policy of putting to
their highest use all lands within Ma
tional Forests, the Forest Service has
been for some years endeavoring to set
this question by means of various lines
OF investigation. The Kaniksu National
Forest is particularly involved in such a
problem. for the reason that it probably
contains more lands OF this character
than any National Forest in District No.
l, or probably in the country. 1t is OBJ
vious that if the standing timber on a
piece of land has greater value than the
present value of the land without the
timber. such land ia not chiefly valuable
for agriculture. In determining the
present value of land for agricultural
purposes, the Forest Service has sought
to determine as nearly as possible the
actual sale value of lands of this charac-
ter, not only in this region. but in ada
cent regions having similar soil condi-
tions, timber conditions, and similar
conditions of transportation and devel-
opment. The result of this investiga-
ton am not prepared to give you at
the present time, but will be pleased to
do when q definite decision has been
reached bv the District Forester in re-
gard to the lands within the Kaniksu
National Forest.
In addition to carrying on this line OF
work. the service has for several years

CLASSIFYING FOREST LANDS
Supervisor Millar Tells About the
Kaniksu Forest Lands.
Not Available for Entry Soon.

Editor Newport Miner. Newport, Wash.
Dear Wolff note your article in The
MINER for Thursday. March Is, headed
Classifying Lands in National Forest.
and il appeared to me that some mis-
apprehension as to the work being per-
formed on the Kaniksu National Forest
might arise from this al ticle. In order
to provide against anv such contingency
l would thank you to publish this letter
as soon as practicable.
As YOU state. it is the intention of the
Forest Service to make complete ex-
animation of all the lands within the
Kaniksu National Forest. and classify
them as to their agricultural value; that
is, those lands which have any possible
agricultural value being suited for this
use both bv reason of their soil and
topography will De examined, mapped
and classified, 90 that this character of
land may be separated once for all from
those lands within the forest which have
no agricultural value whatever. The
purpose of the work, however, is not
exactly the opening up of all such lands
to entry at once. but rather to make a
matter of record the location and area
OF such possible agricultural lands. As
stated in your article. the agricultural
lands not already appropriated under
the act of June IL. 1905, within the Kan
iksu National Forest fall into two divis-
ions. The first of these is largely heavy
white pine bottom and low slope lands
located in the Priest River valley. A
rough estimate places the amount OF
such land at IS, 900 acres. of which, as
you state. between 10000 and 25,O0O
acres are heavily timbered. In addition
there is approximately $4,000 acres OF
land included within what is known as
the jack pine fat. This land has no
very considerable timber value, and ii
has always been held that it has no
agricultural value on account of the
character of the soil. In order to settle
once for all the question OF the classi6.
cation of the jack pine fat and quiet the
title of the government to the l.-nds COW
cred by this fat, it has been decided to

The County PoIitica. Situation

In the north end of the county the
strife for the appointment to the office of
commissioner for Pend O 'eille continues
and has become more int snse during The
past week through a strong effort to land
the appointment for Il. j. McKav, of
lone. w. A. Logue. of lone, and O. l..
Carmichael, of Metaline, are also being
considered, and it is likely that the ap-
pointment will finally bs, decided npon
by Gov. HAY some time curing the COM
ing week.
In the middle district. comprising the
Calispel valley. there have also been
three candidates, ADAM Wike. of Gu
sick; A. +. Saddler, of Locke, and E. G.
Perrott, of Usk. All of them were
strongly endorsed by their respective
localities.
Realizing the imiossibilitv of getting
the three candidates together and agree
ing upon one of them, an Effort was made
to get compromise candidate, one who
would be acceptable to the majority.
Such man was found in the person of
D. r. Atherton, of Cusick, man thor
oughly competent for tha position, and
one who had been strongly urged to
become candidate at the time the mat
ssr was first considered. Strong en-
dorsements were made for Mr.. Atherton,
among others endorsing him being MI.

Wike, who withdrew fro n the contest
in favor of Mr.. Atherton. The action of
Mr.. Wike, in withdrawn from the con-
test in the interest of harmony and to
save Gov. Hay the embarrassment in
volved bv a controversy Of this nature,
is to be highly commenced and stamps
Mr.. Wlke as a man ca pable of losing
sight of personal am EDITIONS in the en-
deavor to get matter satisfactorily ad-
justed.

one representative OF the agricultural
department of the University Of Idaho,
a representative of the bureau of soil of
the department OF agriculture. q repre-
sentative of the Forest Service, and pos
sibly a representative OF the geological
survey. These men will make COM
plete examination of the soil. will an
alyze the soil in various parts of the dat,
and will submit report as the result of
their finding Ne TO whether or not this
land is suitable for agricultural purposes.
If found to be agricultural, believe that
the land will then be examined as q
whole, divided into homestead until and
opened for entry at once. It would
probably require two or three months
to accomplish this work. which would
make it necessary to postpone the ex-
animation at least until the summer OF
1912. The examination by soil experts.
however, will be made in the summer
of 1911. In the meantime no appiica-
tions will be received for land within
the jack pine fat.
In regard to the 35.0 900 acres OF land,
it is estimated is agricultural except for
the present growth of timber, no decis-
ion has been arrived at "a to the stand
which the Forest Service will take on the
question of listing. By the act Of June
IL. 1908, under which agricultural lands
within National Forests are opened to
entry, it ia provided that such lands
must be chiefly valuable for agriculture,
and that their occupation for agricul-
tural purposes shall be made without
injury to the National Forest within
which they are located, 80 that the
lands shall not be needed for public
purposes. Under this act the Forest
Service has always held that lands which
were needed for ranger stations, nurser-
les, pastures, experimental plots or any
other administrative purpose were not
subject to application or listing. and has
reserved such areas from the effect OF
this act. 1t has. of course. been neces-
sary to look into the future in the reser.
vation of such areas, since the act oi
listing removes land irrevocably from
the National Forest, and hasty and ill.

Albert Bushnell Hart, the we'll

a book that Hawaiians will find par
ticularly interesting in THE Obvious
Orient" Hart tells much about the
Orient which Is original and of use.
He starts through the Canadian
Northwest, Oregon and Washington,
goes to Alaska, Japan, China, the
Philippines, and through many parts
of Asia. He devotes much space to
social customs in Japan. He says
the japanese are eclectic, for, with a
popular rising in Persia, a parliament
In Constantinople, movement for
local self-government in India, and a
reform spirit In China, who shall say
that a nation must be westernized in
order to progress" Mr.. Hart thinks
the Filipinos inferior in every way
to the Chinese and to the japanese.
He describes China geographically,
historically and socially. He writes
about Miss Bonnell and THE Door of
Hope" and other indoor customs and
characteristics of Chinese daily life.
Child-stealing and child-buying in
China are usual, but punishable. Mr..
Hart describes many things in his
fine book left unseen or untold by the
traveller which are of great interest
to those who want to hear of the in
ner life of foreign nation. Mr.. Hart
