SETTLERS IN FORESTS
GET TIMBER At COST

1t is reported by the local forestry
officials that settlers throughout the
national forests in Colorado. Wyo-
ming and South Dakota are taking
advantage of the recent regulation by
the department of agriculture which
allows them to purchase government
timber on the forests at the actual
cost of making the sales. This
means that the ranch owners can by
timber at from one-half to one-third
of its actual value. In some cases
this same timber has been appraised
at from Sl.50 to $3.50 per thousand
and from so to rs cents per cord.
Timber taken under this regulation
must, of course, be used by the pur-
chaser for domestic and not for COM
mercial purposes.
The law enables settlers in or ad-
jacent to the national forests to de-
rive the full benefit of its timber re-
sources. The man living near a for
est may secure all the lumber he
needs for the development of his
ranch great deal cheaper than one
living at distance where it would
be necessary 10 have his lumber ship
ped TO him. Under the law, this tim
ber does not have to be advertised by
the forest service before it is sold,
nor is the purchaser limited as to the
amount he may wish to buy.

MAY NOT INCLUDE
FUTURES TAX IN
TARIFF BILL
President Not AVcTSe TO EIimina-
ton Of Plan; Some Other
Way Sought
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Washington. Sept. 29.-The Demo-
cratic tariff revision bill. which was
begun early last April. approached a
stage OF completion today, when the
FUN conference committee named for
the adjustment OF the differences Of
the house and senate met for the
adoption of their final report.
The eight Democratic cuuferees
reached an agreement after two and
half weeks of discussion. The six
Republican members will now have
an opportunity to express their for
NAL opinions on the Democratic re-
port.
1t is quite certain that there Will
be no executive opposition to tae sep
nration of the cotton futures tax from
the tariff bill. The president be-
lieves that some legal restraint on
speculation is desirable, but radical
difference exists between the two
houses of congress regarding the best
method of protecting the producers
of cotton and other commodities.
The Democratic conference report
carries many changes from the orig
inal Underwood bill. Many of the
senate amendments have been lost
but others are retained. II will re-
duce the average house rates about
per cent. A summary shows an in
crease in the tax rate on incomes
above ST5,0 900, graduated from to
Z per cent. The income tax exemp-
tion was reduced from $4,000 to S3,-
600. Additions to the free list in
clude pig iron, cattle and other food
animals. wheat, flour, flax, hemp,
school books, moyingpicture films,
cement, asphalt and many other ar
ticles. The reductions include many
articles of wearing apparel, chemi-
Gals and agricultural products
The Republican conferees refused
today to sign the completed report
Senator La Toilette explained his re-
fusal as being because he was not
consulted in the preparation of the
agreement
The reductions in the house rates
on chemicals covered perfumed and
medical soaps, crude chicle, linseed
oil and chlorate of potash, while the
house rates were increased on many
acids and some paints.
The senate reduced the house rates
on high-power lenses. surveying in
| struments and telescopes. and the
most of the average rates are lower
than those of the original house bill.
The tariff on automobiles, which
| was radically cut by the senate, was
| finally compromised by making a new
classification, with a rata, of 30 per
| cent for automobiles valued below
| $4,000.
The conference agreed to reduc-
tions on oats, butter, beets, meat eX-
| tracts, currants, chocolate and other
| provisions and vegetables.
The conference retained the pro-
vision for per cent rebate on i'm
| ports brought in American ships and
| added provision so that it could not
| be construed to abrogate, impair or
| affect the provisions OF any treaty
| which the United States now has.
The conference also amended the
house provision requiring foreign
manufacturers or exporters to submit
their books to the American customs
agents and providing an additional
duty of 10 per cent when such exam
ination was refused.

The Denver e Salt Lake railroad
company has completed the surveys
secured the right of way and arrang-
ed for the financing of an extension
of its line west from Craig, Colo, to-
ward Salt Lake City for distance of

The plans have progressed to the
point where the contracts can be let
shortly after the completion of the
fortymile extension to Craig which
is now under construction.
The contract will carry the road
across the Colorado border into the
state of Utah and make it an inter

plans for the extension were discus
sed at meeting of directors and of
ficers held in this city Friday. 1t
was stated at the conclusion of the

AGENTS
INSPECT PROJECTS

The United States department OF
the interior has recently been taking
a very active, though quiet. hand in
the supervision OF proposed private
irrigation projects in Colorado and
the southwestern part OF the United
States. The explanation Of this ac-
tivity is that the government is en-
deaNoring TO prevent the floating oil
fraudulent irrigation schemes.
IL is understood that the govern
ment mas successfully up 10 this time
prevented the starting OF number OF
projects In this state, one OF which
was to contain more than 100000
acres Of land. The government as
sumes its authority through the agen-
cy of desert lands belonging to the
public domain which are desired by
the promoters as part OF the land to
be brought under water
When an application is made for
the purchase OF tracts of desert land
upon which to put water, the govern
ment has been declining TO sell until
It's own engineers 20 over the pro-
posed project and check up the water
filings and reach a decision as to
whether there is ample water to meet
the demands Of the land.
In some instances where applica-
tons for land have been rejected, the
applicants have Contauded that the
government is not right in its asger-
tions, and that they have ample wat
ef for all needs. Out of these differ
cnces is expected to come sooner or
later litigation which will test the
right Of the government to decline
to sell its desert lands where there is
a dispute over the available water
supply.
The work OF the government is be-
ing carried on through the general
land office. It is a subject which the
government officials decline TO dis
cuss. NJ. d. McEniry Of the general
land office has stated that 1t was too
delicate a matter for publicity. Of
ficers in the state engineers office
say that they have no method Of
checking UP on the governments
work, as the records do not come
through that department.
The effect oil the governments poll
icy is matter OF dispute. 1t is
claimed by some. who have failed to
obtain the consent Of the government
to their plans, that their inability
to get government lands means their
inability to go ahead with their pro-
ieets, even when the intentions are
to put water on lands owned in fee
simple, unless they also provide a
system which will bring water adja-
cent to the governments holdings.
