3OO,OOO,OOO FEET OF
 GOVERNMENT TIMBER
Washington, Sept. 19. 1912

OnlcI rOreSCef GrdVeS IS on HIS way to San Francisco to make final arrangements under which a Cali fornia lumber company will pur- chase 500 million feet of timber on the Sierra National Forest. The timber has already been awarded, after public advertisement, to the highest bidder, but under the terms )f the advertisement the final sign ing of the contract will not take place until the company has been shown on the ground what timber the government will reserve from .utting in order to preserve good torest conditions and provide for re- production.
 The company will be allowed its full 800 million feet, but naturally it will not be allowed to cut clean. As a rule the forest service reserves something like one-third of the for est stand in applying forestry on government holdings. A marking board made up of one man sent from Washington, one from the district office in San Francisco and the local forest supervisor will care fully mark sample area, to show how the restrictions in cutting will be applied. Representatives of the company will then go over this area, after which Chief Forester Graves and his assistants will, it is expect ed, make final arrangements with the company in San Francisco and the contract of sale will be signed.
 "The forest service," said MT. Graves, in speaking of this sale, "has received a number of inquiries whether in selling so much timber to a single pl1rclL.aaser'the govern n.ent may not be opening the way to a uonopolistic control of local lumber markets. Other correspon- dents are disturbed lest the sale prove bad bargain for the govern ment through the rise in value of the timber in the twenty-two years during which the company will cut.
 "Such large and longtime sales of national forest timber as that to the California company is a new development in the forest service. Great bodies of mature but inacces- sible timber can be put on the mar ket only if sale contracts are let on terms which will justify a very heavy initial investment in trans portation facilities. In entering into such contracts, however, spec ial safeguards to protect the public against monopoly and to prevent an undue speculative profit to the pur- chaser are employed.
 ''The national forests contain, in all, the equivalent of nearly 600 billion feet of timber now of mer- :hantable size, besides young growth for future harvest. Because of its remoteness from market and the wild, mountainous country, without transportation facilities, in which most of it lies, only small percent lge can now be sold on any terms. Most of it will cost more to get it ,ut than it would bring. The sale ,f less than one-ffty of one per .'ent of our total spuply to one com- )any leaves plenty of room for con- petition by other companies.
 ''The timber which has been sold to the California company lies well back in the Sierra Nevada moun- tains and will require the construc- tion of 70 miles of standard gauge railroad to open up the area"

Suggestions for the Night
Of DeLuSipe Eff and Sprite

Halloween is almost here. Seemingly
unlimited superstitious fancies are linked
with the day and its observance, the list
appealing particularly to sentimental
young people. The ancient English Gus
tom of "bobbing for apples has not lost
its charm through the years. but should
be indulged in only when the party is
very informal. A more moderate form
of the game may be introduced by hav-
ing apples float in bona fide water. but
previously attaching to each a little red
ribbon bow, which may be easily caught
in the teeth; when the apple is lifted
from the water a slip of paper is discov-
cred thrust into slash cut in one side
near the top. On these slips are attach
ed various pertinent quotations applic-
able to the discoverers.
Ghostly Decorations.
Ghostly decorations add materially to
the Halloween character Of the entertain
ment. and II you happen to possess one
OF the tall piano lamps. or an ordinary
tall. slender lamp which stands on a
small table, you can concoct a wonderful
spectral ghost which will be certain to
make a tremendous hit.

The Pastry Peril.

allowance for baking bread and other
doughs. 1t should be definitely under
stood that hurrying through the baking

and time.
For what is the use OF spending money
for good material and time to prepare It
for the oven only to defeat the object
nourishment of the human body-by serv-
Ing a product made unwholesome and in
digestible through scanty baking? And
this is what underdone doughs all are.
Take bread. for example: When several
loaves are nodded and put side by side
in one large pan and baked when risen
the oven heat cannot properly reach the
center OF such q mass: when each loaf
is nodded to half fill its own pan, let rise
Until level with the top and then baked

satisfactory.
The question is one of the complete
cooking Of starch. II the oven heat can
penetrate the entire loaf in a given
time and remain active in 1t for a given
time the starch cells all burst and the
loaf is made degestible.
