TIMBER MONOPOLY.


standing timber in the United States.
Such is the statement of Herbert
Knox Smith, commissioner Of corpora
tions, in his report to congress on the
timber situation.
As the government owns only 20
per cent of the standing timber In the
United States--the 1876 private owners
control half Of so per cent--or 40 per
cent of the entire future lumber sup
ply of the nation.
This gigantic holding by private
corporations, was made possible
through railway grants from the gov
eminent and careless administration
Of defective land laws-many of which
are still in force in spite of repeated
protests from the press and public.
The Southern Pacific railway owns
4,31S,O00 acres in northern California
and western Oregon. The govern
ment is suing to recover much of this
because OF the railways failure to
comply with the conditions under
which it was granted.
The Weyerhaeuser Timber Co. con-
trolls 1,945,0OO acres. The Northern
Pacific owns 100000 acres. These
holdings are all in the northwest.
In Florida five owners have 100000
acres-and 1877 timber owners control
over 15,S00,00O acres-or more than
half the entire area of the state.
The southern timber lands are not
so extensively owned by few inter-
ests as those Of the northwest. Com
missioner Smith says the best timber
is very generally controlled by great
holding companies, which-like those
in the northwest-are saving the tim
Der for consumption in the future.
Much of the timber land now valued
| at 500 to 5000 an acre was sold by the
government for $1.25 an acre. Prac-
tically none Of the timber land sold by
the government brought more than.
$3.50.
This gigantic combination Of timber
interests is bad enough in itself for
the future homebuilder who wants to
use timber. Commissioner Smith says
the evidences of a lI-organized rail-
way domination in cooperation with
the big timber holders make the flu
ture even bluer for lumber users.
These are not the statements of an
alarmist They are the Trustworthy
figures and facts compiled in a scien-
tific manner-under government direc-
ton.
No more potent argument was ever
offered for forest and timber reserves. |

A queerly shaped gong which occu-

be one of the largest in the world and
is called 1.-The bell with the wall of
child in its voice." When first cast
the bell sounded with a harsh and
cracked note. and the superstitious en-
peror, fearing an i'll omen. consulted
with his magicians. These gentlemen
held a long confab and finally stated
that the bell would never sound right
until live child was given to it. The
mass was then melted again. and a
live baby was thrown into the molten
metal The wall of agony uttered by
the little tot as the bronze engulfed

Koreans still claim that the wall of a
child can be heard in the voice of the

Utahn Has Image of Warrior
Who BaAled Here Ages Ago
Pioneer Miner Exhibits Prehistoric Image Found in
Cave in Buckskn Mountains, Believed to
be at Least 1000 Years Old

The "'oldest inhabitantp will have
to look to his laures. There arrived
in this city yesterday an image which
is supposed TO be a likeness of war
rior who lived 5000 or 1000 years
ago, and one who was probably fa-
miliar with conditions hereabouts even
before the Great Salt Lake was SO
very, very salty
The image is the property of W,
l.. Bacbte)l, a pioneer mining man of
the Milford county districts, and a
well-kDown archacologist, who brought
his treasure hither from Los Angeles.
where he had it on exhibition. Tho
image, Mr.. Bachtel says, was found
by a party of archaeologists, Of which
he was one, sent out by the Ward
Natural Science society of Rochester,
y. Y, and was discovered in a pre-
historic cave in the Buckskin noun
tains, southeastern Utah. Mr.. BachtclI
says that though the image has been
examined by the country's most
eminent experts on such subjects,
none of them has been able to de-
termine to Just what race or age it be-
longs. They all agree, however, Mr.
Bachtell says, that It is from 1000 to
1000 years old. and that it represents
habited this land long before the
cliff-dwelIers came. The image has
been on exhibition in the Carnegie in
stitmte. University of Chicago, and AT
other museums, he says, but to all pro-
fcssors and experts the real identity
Of its origin has proved battling.
