Some OF the fires came from lightning,
others from oamp-fires and some from

Uncle Sam Is now cutting considerable
lumber in the national forests. The
amount cut last year was more than
45OOOO.OO0 feet, board measure, much OF
II being sold on the stump at S2.H per
thousand. Such receipts are rapidly APP
proximating 100000 per annum. and they
promise to be one OF the income bringing
branches of the government Nearly all
the great nations OF Europe are now
making money out Of their state forests.
In France the lumber sold brings In
S500O,OO0 a year, and in Austria the re-
ceipts are still greater. The forests of
India are under government control and
are yielding about 100000 per annum,
while wlde-awake little Japan is getting
&OOO,OOO each year from the wood sold
by the government.
But 1t is not alone In the lumber sold
that the forestry bureau is saving us
money. The fires OF 1910 would have
caused an incalculable loss had II not
been for the rangers and the organized
system Of fire protection.
Indeed, II is estimated that the forestry
service is worth to the government at
least S5,OOO,OOO a year. OF this about one
third comes from the improvement OF the
woodlands, another third from the saving
OF young trees and prevention OF fires,
S9,OOO,OOo from the improved forest meth
DDS which are being spread TO the timber
lands outside national ownership. and
also other items, which make up the to-
tai OF $76,OOO,oOO.

Gift Involves Coal Dispute.

Denver.-There are members of the
live in mortal terror that the state of
Colorado is going to get something
for nothing from the government.
Congress recently turned over to the
state the Indian school at Fort Lewis
and about 700 acres of land to be
used for the support of the school.
In return the state agreed to main
tain the school.
Now some members of the admins
tration. notably the new secretary Of
the interior, have discovered that
there is coal under this land and in
letter to the President, the secre-
tary expresses the opinion that this
coal was not given to the state and
that it is still the property of the ma
tional government.
The entire transaction was supposed
to have been closed and the governor
has accepted the land on behalf of
the state. The land was given with
out reservation and, in the opinion of
state officials, now belongs wholly to
the state.
Gov. Shafroth has received a copy
of the letter sent by Walter l.. Fisher,
the new secretary OF the interior, in
which the opinion is expressed that
coal to the value of 100000 lies un-
der the land.
Federal officials, however, have
f,,l hnn ~
conditions in Colorado and Gov.
Shafroth has written to all OF the
Colorado representatives asking that
they use their influence to see that
no effort is made to deprive Colorado
of the land it has received. The
state in taking the land assumed upon
itself grave responsibility in agree
ing to maintain an expensive school
for an indefinite period.
