MORE NATIONAL FORESTS
CContinued from Page One)

cultural lands to actual settlers. whose industry contributes directly to the material and social upbulding of the community. and the alienation of Vir- gin timberlands. which do not require and. indeed. hardly permit Oi, improve ment by private owners, and the value of which is rapidly rising because of reduction in the supply and the in crease in population. The public ser wee involved in the mere speculative holding of this timber for an advance in price. under present conditions of settlement of the country, is practically negligible. When. moreover. such lands become concentrated in com paratively few hands, there is, instead of d public service. d serious public danger.
 Without entering into a discussion of possible solution of certain grave problems involved in the present con- centratiOn of timber ownership. it may be pointed out that the government today still owns, exclusive of the for ests of Alaska. about One-fifth of the country's total supply of merchantable
 
 adapted to practicing reforestatiOn on a large scale. Recently important suits for forfeiture of extensive timberla1ds have been brought by the government on the ground of nOnfulfillment of con- ditiOns imposed in the grants by which these lands were alienated from the public domain. For these reasons, it would appear, therefore. that the gov crnment may later be able to material ly strengthen it's relative position as a timber owner.
 The facts set forth in this report clearly point to the desirabllity Ot maintaining the integrity of the ma tiOnal forests and of extending to other publicly owned timber, including for ests in Alaska and timber4ands that may be recovered in forfeiture suits now pending or subsequently, institut- ed by the government, the cardinal principle of the national forest policy namely the retention of the fee to such lands at least until the timber is re- moved. Decision will then have to be made between retaining such lands foI reforestation and dispOsing of the sur face for agricultural purposes. Il seems clear, moreover, that the fun damental principle to be followed ir the sale of the timber itself is that th( terms of sale should be such as to in anre to the public treasury substan-

SECOND STEP TAKEN
 IN CUSTER PROCEEDINGS

Answer was filed on Saturday bv Alexander and Christy, counsel for Justices Johnstone and Parker in the custer proceedings brought against them by the board of supervisors un- der the law of the last legislature authorizing the supervisors to redis- trict the county into precincts.
 The answer is a voluminous docu- ment, attacking not only the redis- tricting law as contrary to the con- stitution but the regularity of the procedure of the board of supervisors under it.
 No reference is made in the answer to the decision of the supreme court in the case of Davis against Osborn in which it was specifically held that precinct officers stood in precisely the same situation as the county and state officers whose terms it was held should continue until their successors should be elected n November of 1914 and should qualify.
 It is thought though that later in the proceedings the defense will rely on that decision.

 NIGHT ROBBERY
Merchants Patrolmen Gas Kin and Bradley Arrest Two Bohemians Who Are Acting Suspicio y About Altlras Hotel

The WatChfulness of Merchants Pa
 trolman Harry Gaskin and his assis-
 tant. William Bradley, probably pre-
 vented the burglary of a room or, rooms in the Alturas hotel, on East
 Washington street. at an early hour
 this morning. As it is. two Bohemians are lodged in the> county jail. where
 they will likely be charged with at
 tempted burglary. one of them at least
 facing a charge of carrying concealed
 deadly weapons.
 It was shortly after midnight that
 Gaskin and Bradley encountered q
 man standing in the shadows in the
 alley in the rear of the hotel His ac tions aroused the suspicion of the of
 ficers and, believing that he was evi- dently keeping guard for companion who was pulling off a job nearby, they accosted him and inquired where the other man was. At first the man denied that he was accompanied by anybody. but later he admitted that his friend" had gone l into the hotel to secure a room Leav- ! ing the man in charge of Bradley. Gaskin went into the hotel from the rear AS ne entered tue real SlotII = way he noticed man cross the hall and dart through q door When he reached the upper floor he found the ! man had taken refuge in the toilet
 room and f1ad locked the door. After l some parleying he induced the man to | open the door. He then placed both men under arrest
 | When searched the man who had
 been arrested in the alley and who | gave the name of Henry BOYstik, was | found in possession of a revolver 1 The other man was unarmed. They 1 told conflicting stories in accounting i for their presence in the alley, but each agreed that he had been in PhOe- nix about one month and had been working on some job near the river | south of the city.

NEW CITY ORDINANCE
 MEANS MORE SIGNS
No Reason Now Why Phoenix Should
 Not Be Brilliantly Lighted.

Recently the city council passed an electric sign ordinance, which will boost to the business men of Phoenix. The sign ordinance which was pre- viOusly in effect prohibited the plac- ing of an electric sign over the side walk. This feature of the old bill has prevented the installation of electric signs in a broad guage way in the city
 The order just passed is very broad order and permits the installa- tiOn of an electric sign over the side walk to an extent of eight feet from the building line, providing the sign is placed at a height of ten feet from the sidewalk. It also provides that such sign can extend twelve feet over the sidewalk, provided it is at height of from twelve to eighteen feet from the sidewalk
 The new order also allows vertical electric signs to be erected over the sidewalk Before any such sign can be erected it will be necessary to se- cure permit from the city electrical inspector.
 A very active campaign is now be- ing carried on by the Pacific Gas & Electric company and the. various electrical contractors of the City. and it is assured that many new signs will be erected at very early date inasmuch as electric sign advertising is considered one of the best forms of advertising The Central drug store the owl Drug company, the Western Union Telegraph company and Class Bros. are examples of the wide awake business men who have already taken advantage of this new order and have ordered electric signs erected

The following from
 the Sunday Los An
 geles Tribune and it's
 extracts from a page
 in the Daily Drovers'
 Journal Stockman of
 South Omaha shows
 the widespread inter
 est that is being talk
 en and the confidence
 placed in the big
 project the Los An
 geles Union Stock
 Yards:
 StOckyard Plan is Great Boost-More Acreage is Secured at Vernon for | the Union Stock Yards Enterprise.
 Negotiations which have been in progress for some time past be- tween officials of the Los Angeles Union Stock Yards company and N. E. Harmon and associates were concluded in the last week and re suited in the purchase by the stock yards company of ten acres, adjoining the original stock yards site of 106 acres, and having a 330 foot frontage on the Santa Fe tracks. The site was sufficiently large for present purposes before the purchase of this new piece, but it lacked the extensive track frontage desirable. This has now been secured and company officials are well pleased with their bargain. With 116 acres available on which | to begin the erection of buildings, pens, runWays, etc; with ample . facilities for shipping at hand and with exceptionally favorable freight tariffs assured. men at the head of the big Union Stock yards project are now hurrying forward their plans, realization of which. it is expected, will make Los Angeles | the livestock center of the Pacific coast. Already several good sized \ packing plants are in operation in | close proximity to the stock yards site, and another. the Swift plant. recently destroyed by fire. is soon to be rebuilt.
 That company plans are attract ing widespread attention. and that stockmen elsewhere take very much the same view as is enter tained here of the great possibili- ties before the local company, is shown in a recent issue of the Daily Drovers Journal -Stockman of South Omaha, which devoted al most a column of space to detail- ing Los Angeles plan and com = menting on them editorially. This editorial comment is significant
 emanating as it does from the re- cognized authority in the livestock | business. The paper says:
 The Pacific coast has been a
 big consumer of meat products and
 in late years has been heavy
 buyer of livestock of all kinds
 from the eastern slope of the Rocky mountains. Seattle, Portland
 San Francisco and Los Angeles
 have been in the meat business for
 a good many years and have spent
 no small amount of money or II stock yards and packing plants
 While none of the points have yet
 succeeded in building up a great p central market like those to be | found on the Missouri river, that
 is not saving that such a market | will not be developed in time. With Il vast energy and unbOunded confi-
 dence, backed by plenty of capital Los Angeles may be the one to | grasp the prize and develop the
 big market of the Pacific coast.

NOW THE ARSON TRUST!

The fire started in Paris; Mon- sieur Poiret, or Worth, OF Felix, kindled the blaze. The spark leaped the obulevards, crossed the continent, paused a while in London, and then flashed to Broadway.
 The reign of the petticoat was over. The master tailors had de- creed new style; henceforth women could no longer stride ,-free-limbed in the voluminous folds of full-cut skirts.
 Slender figures were the vogue, and dresses so Scant as to bare ly permit of movement instantly became the furOre.
 In his factory office. twelve floors up in Broadway sky scraper. the petticOat manufac- turer sat staring into the white face of his partner. Between them lay pile of cancellations. From every state in the Union telegrams were pouring in, cOun- termanding orders, on the strength of which thousands of dollars worth of costly, dainty undergarments, for which no market existed, had been made up.
 And now fashion had impul- sively turned her tickle back and the profits of a dozen seasons were wiped away at one unlurky turn of the wheel of style.
 Already a list of part-due notes and the notice of an OverdraWn balance whispered approaching Bankruptcy. "Othello'S occupa- tiOn was gone 1.-the bottom had fallen out of business.
 In the safe repOsed policies covering the full value of the firms fixtures and investment in merchandise. For a half hOu, the two men argued in earnest mur- murS.
 A week later flames dashed through factory. within which lay the ghaStly. blackened bones of a Watrhnnan and three fire men--thr arson trust had found another customer.
 The full story of the most un- speakable industry in the annals of civilization will never be learn- ed. The recent arrest and in- dictment of one New York gang discloses the existence of an or ganiZatiOn of adjuStrrS. inSur- ance agents and underlings, and uncovers the startling truth that straight through the continent men have been making liNeli- hood and amaSsing fortunes out of the practice of professional arson.
 Untold lives and millions of dollars in valuable property have paid toll to the dishonor of busi- ness men and the fiendishness of a set of demons as merciless as the forces in which they deal.
 In the light of this awful thing, the abolition of capital punish ment seems ill-adyised. Ordinary murder becomes a tame affair in ooo}rocf u-it h Slch wholesale and hideOus destruction of human be- ings.--Herbert Kaufman in Wo- mans World for April.
