NAVAJO COUNTY WILL BE
 BIG LUMBER DISTRICT

Deposits of coal said to be of excellent coking quality are with in 30 miles ot the timber, and the development of these deposits only awaits railroad transpor- tation.
 In order to secure immediate de- velopment of this timber resour- ce and at the same time to pro- tect the purchasers of the stump age in their investment and give them sufficient time to make the cutting, the Government has set a limit of ten years from the completion of the logging plant in which the whole 6OO,OOO,OOO feet of lumber must be harvested.
 Two years will be allowed for the preliminary work, such as building sawmills, quaters for the lumber crews, logging rail- rOaQ, ana spurs.
 While the Navajo Development Company makes the application for this timber, it will be adver- tised i'll the opeu market for 12O days. and the timber will be sold to the highest bidder in accord ance with the regulations pre- scribed for the sale. No price will be considered less that $2.5O per thousand board feet for the timber cut during the first five years of the contracts and $500 for that cut during the last five years. During the first two years of the contracts, which will be separate for the National FeEest timber, s,nderjurisdiction of the Forest Service of the De- pertinent of Agriculture, aud the Indian Reservation timber, un- der the Indian Office of the De. pertinent of the Interior, the successful bidder will be required to cut 35,OOO.OOO board feet under each contract. Each year after this, however, he will be required to cut not less than 25,OOO,OOO board feet under each contract. Each year alter this, however, he will be required to cut not less than 25,OOO'OOJ board feet under each contract.
 There are several provisions of interest which provide for full utilization of ali the available material: The sale includes two thirds of the live timber and the merchantabie dead timber; no unnecessary damage shall be done to the young growth nor to trees utilized we'll into the tops; brush will be disposed of by the purchaser, all felling and cutting into log lengths will be done with a saw instead of au ax, to avoid the waste in ax chips. Strict precautions will be observed for protection against fire, aud railroads and loggiuy engines will have to use oil or electricity. The use of oil Is thoroughly practicable, as it eau be obtained cheaply and con- veniently. The main liIesof the Santa Fe. only a few miles away. uses this fuel, aud it is used also in lumbering operations on the neighboring National Forest, the CocoHlno.
 Altogether, this timber sale should prove all attractive pro- position. since the tract contains what is probably the largest body ofgood timber now remain ing i'll the Southwest. It Is not i'll rough county, bat on all ex- tensive plateau where the grouul is either smooth and level or gen tly undulating. The fegiou Is well watere1 and presents all most ideal logging conditions. Not only should it be attractive from the point of view of the

TOT have just concluded arrange
 ments that will probably lead to
 the largest timber sale ever un- dertaken by the Government. The
 tract to be numbered is in the eastern part ofArizoua and con-
 prises a large portion of the Fort
 Apache Indian Reservation. The
 total area to be numbered is a.
 bout 10000 acres, and contains approxi ina tely 6OO,OOO,OOO
 board feet of merchantable tim
 Der.
 Applied tion for this stumpage
 has been made by the Navajo
 Development Company, d cor
 puration chartered under the laws of Arizona, and a careful examination of the area has been completed by representatives of the company and of the Forest Service and the Indian Office
 This does not mean that the De.
 velopment Company will secure
 the stumpage unless it's bid Is the
 highest, because, under Govern ment regulations, the timber
 will be sold to the highest bidder.
 But the fact that the company
 has made application warrants the placing of the material upon
 the market.
 e-tenths of the timber, or approxim n tely 575,OOO,OOO board feet, is Western yellow pine, which possesses many of the excellent qualities of the white pine of the Northeastern and Lake States. The lumber manufactured from it combines lightness with strength and easy working qualities; the best grades are made into finishing stock. flooring and ceiling, and sashes and doors. The clear materal is highly prized by pattern makers, aud one man ufacturer of this wood sells his entire output to a transcontinen. tai railway line for use in mak- ing patterns in it's shops.
 The timber next in importance on this area is Douglas fir. of which there are 15,OOO,OOO board feet. This wood is excellent for mine and other timoers, and some railroads pay a higher pride foro Duglas fir ties than for those made from other kinds of trees, because they last much longer when in contact with the ground. The rest of the mer- charitable material is made up of white fir, Engelrnann spruce, Mexican white pine, blue spruce, and cork bark fir.
 The timber is located about 60 miles south of Holbrook. Ariz- ona, the county seat of Navajo Couny which is on the main line of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad. From Holbrook a railroad can be built south to the timber, and will pass through a region where there are several small towns and much agricul- tural land which can be irrigated. The full cost of railroad con- struction will not have to come out of the invtsttneut for deve- Ioping the timber because the road can be made acommon car rier and many thousand tons of freight now handled by slow anl cumbersome freight wagons could be hauled each year ou the new line, also large quantities of hay, grain. and other supplies are used at Fort Apache, an i'm portant military post about 20 miles south of the tract. In ad dition to this, some revenue should be derived from passen- ger traffic not only from civilian

MASS MEETING
STRIKE TO BE LAST
RESORT OF UNIONS
shopmen Hope to Secure Concessions
from Hartman System Managers

.os Angeles, Cal, Sept H. Hun
dreds of railroad shopworkers and
members of various labor unions
gathered i'm a mass meeting at l,abo'
Temple tonight to hear addresses by
Samuel Gompers, president of the.
American Federation of Labor, ana
by J. w. Kline international prcSl'
dent of the Blacksmiths and Helpers
union, and the latter's associates ON
the committee which recently cot
ferred In San Francisco with Jul!ls
Kfuttschnitt OF the Hartman system.
Speaking of the terms made by the
organized shop crafts, Mr. Kline de-
clmed that the railroads must recog
nze the Federation of Shop Employ
ees. A strike was the last resort, lie
said. and the interests of an innocent
public we're involved. Therefore, he
hoped the railroad managers would
"see the light" and agree to further
conferences in which mutual conces-
sions might be effected on points
aside from the recognition of the shop
federation.
| Mr.. Kline was accompanied by Mar
tin f. Ryan of Kansas City, Mo, gen
eral president of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Carmen; j. A. Franklin OF
Kansas City, international president
of the Boilermakers' union, and j. ID
Buckalew of Washington, ID, c., vice
president of the International Unior
Of Machinists.

Do you own an automobile? No!
Well, the increase in the automobile
business is one of the most remarkable
in the history of any one of our many
comparatively new industries. In 1904,
for example. 22.S30 automobiles were
produced, capitalized at $23.084, 900,
while in 1909, 127,2S7 were produced.

is fast displacing the horse. 1t is ceas-
ing to be a vehicle In the reach of the
rich only as luxury and is becoming
one of service within the reach of peo-
pie of ordinary means. 1t has opened a
splendid field of employment for ne

A new administration in Hayt al
ways has to face the troublesome ques-
ton of its foreign debts. The debts
are incurred, for the most part, by the
destruction of the property of foreign
residents by warning revolutionists.
and, money borrowed of foreigners by
them to prosecute their revolutions.
The successful party has to assume its
own obligations as well as those Of
the parties which came and went be-
fore. The new president, Gen. LIE
Conte, has asked the Joint Mixed COM
mission for an extension Of time for
the payment of the claims piled up
against his administration by his pre-
decessors. The taxpayers of Hayti
are to be pitied. They get practically
nothing but revolution upon revolution
for the money exacted Of them. Their
leading men appear to value their
government only as means to secure
enough to live in Paris, or some other
European capital, where life is gay
and easy to those who have big names
and bank accounts. Patriotism In

poor uneducated people, who have de-
Tended it in times past with Valor

be protected from their educated SOL

Editing a newspaper in some re-
spects is a good deal like preaching.
The gospel truth must be presented
in the form of generalities or some
fellow will get hit and howl, says a
recent writer. Few persons like
truth, even in homeopathic doses, If
it hits them. But while preachers
and editors are criticised for what
they do say, no one thinks of giving
them credit for what they do not say
Yet what they keep to themselves
constitutes the major portion Of what
they know about people. Very many
people harbor the belief that news
papers are eager to publish deroga-
tory things. It's a mistake. There
isn't a newspaper that could not
spring a sensation in the community
at any time by merely telling what 1t
knows. There is not a newspaper
that does not keep under the lock OF
secrecy scores of derogatory things
which never meet the public ear De-
Gliding what not to print is the most
troublesome part of newspaper work.
How many good stories are sup
pressed for innocent relatives and for
the public good nobody outside OF a
newspaper office has any idea of. In
some instances he who flies into a
passion because a newspaper prints
something about him which he con-
siders uncomplimentary has every
reason to feel profoundly grateful to
the newspaper for publishing so little
of what it knows of him. And oft
times the loudest buffer is the most
vulnerable to attack. big noise is
often device employed to cover trep-
idation. Newspapers put up with
more bluffing than any other agency
would endure. 1t is not because they
lack courage; it is because they are
unwilling to use their power to destroy
or ruin unless the interests of society
imperatively demand it, 1t might be
well for some people to reflect upon
these truths and in silent gratitude ac-
cept mild admonition. lest worse be-
fall them.-Minneapolis Argus.
The editor of the Minneapolis Ar
gus speaks boldly and truthfully when
he states that the editor of paper
Is not eager to publish "derogatory
things" Each week, we could publish
column after column of things we
know on the big and little fellows, at
tacking their honesty and derogating
acts. It's really shame sometimes
that the degrading actions of those in
high places are not brought to light,
but for the sake of ones family. and
other relations, the editor withholds
such matter, taking the view that In
the final analysis, it will do no good.
But let it be understood that while
a newspaper man knows and learns
much of an individual that Is dis
graceful; yet if he is a menace to So
ciety and the people of community,
there is no editor that lacks courage
to denounce him.
1t is, however. the duty of the edi-
tor to speak of all wrongs committed
against society, yet he must be full
of human sympathy. love of fair play
and loyal to the highest ideals OF

AS a result Of the recent conference
of governors relative to low price OF
cotton, which conference considered
ways and means by which the farmer
could get better price for his sta
Pile, plan has been arranged by
which a loan of $50,000,00 Is to be
made to the farmer at the rate of s25
per bale. He will be allowed to hold
his cotton till the price reaches IL
cents and will be required to sell
when 1t reaches 13 cents.
The plan looks good on paper and
may benefit a large number of farm
ers But it will fail to benefit the
large number of farmers who belong
to the credit merchants. When
farmer goes in in January and gives
a mortgage on his crop and then buys
all he can on credit against 1t, he will
have to market his cotton in the fall
just as fast as he can get 1t out-if
not fasterl He can't hold a thing.
And the farmer who happens to come
out with a surplus about once in ten
years and then whirls in and invests
that surplus in chips eld whetstones.
$3.50 mules, and $50 saddles. rubber
tired hacks, and shiny wagons, and
then has to buy his provisions at
credit prices. Such a man is bound
to unload as soon as he gets out his
cotton. He couldn't wait even If the
millennium was just around the corner
and signaling to him to hold on! This
thing Of trying to fix better price
for cotton when a large per cent of
cotton raisers are hog-tied to some
'orfe else. is about on level with the
effort OF Jack Cade and his followers
to fix the price of bread when they
were without any of the ingredients
with which bread is made. And the
plan to reduce the acreage will prove
about as successful as that of two
lovers who met at the home of their
lady love. Neither could have full
sway while the other was present and
both came to the conclusion about the
same time to return home. Each
bade good night to her and proceeded
on different streets to their respective
homes.
