NOTHING DOING
is ANSWER SENT
Appeal of Club For Assist
ance For Ohio Cities
Disregarded.
NO FUNDS FROM u. S.
Senator Kern Wires Swayne
That Red Cross Has
Much Money.
NO FUNDS FROM u. S.

The announcement that the flooded
districts of Ohio, and Indiana would
not receive one cent from the United
States Government was received with
great surprise in this city. The an
nouncement to this effect was made
by Representative Fitzgerald, chair
man of the appropriation committee,
who holds the purse strings of the U.
S. treasury. ......-.~
Monday night President Swayne
wired Senators Kern and Shively and
Representative Ffnly Gray asking that
an appropriation be made to help the
homeless people of the flooded dis
tricts. The directors of the CONNER
cial club, who unanimously Endorsed
the motion to send the telegram, be-
lieved the national government would
at least make provision for persons
who are destitute and without funds.
II nothing more could be done it was
believed the U. S. congress would re-
store their homes.
FitzgeraId's Opinion.
Fitzgerald said he did not under
stand why the states of Indiana and
Ohio should ask the federal govern
ment to make provisions for the in
habitants of these states. "The states
are rich and capable of caring for
their people, he said. He further stated
that the floods were over and in the
future provisions would be made to
prevent repetition of what has al
ready happened. He believes the work
is being carefully handled by compe-
tent relief committees.
Vice-president Marshall yesterday
stated he. would make provisions to
have an army engineer sent to Brook
vile, Ind, to draw up plans or make
recommendations for guarding against
future floods. Secretary of War Garri-
son has been swamped with appeals
from all parts of the flooded districts
asking that engineers be sent to give
advice relative to making repairs to
insure against future floods.
Senator Kern Wires.
Word has been received by Presi-
dent Swayne from Senator Kern that
the Red Cross society has large UNI
expended balance which could be par
TALLY devoted to the relief of the suf-
ferers. Members of the Richmond
Commercial Club are not disheartened
at the statements of Fitzgerald and it
is believed he can. be influenced to
change his stand. eff he could only see
conditions as we have seen them he
would not take the attitude he has"
said a member of the local relief
committee.

SELL TIMBER LAND
Department of Agriculture
Has 20 Million Feet
of Tract.
CNational News Association,

WASHINGTON, April s.-The De-
partment of Agriculture has begun ad-
vertising two large tracts of timber
which aggregate $50 million feet on
the Payette River within the Boise
and Payette National Forests, Idaho.
The district Forester at Ogden, Utah,
will receive bids up to and including
June /, 1913, and for an additional
month if intending purchasers wish
more time to examine the timber be-
fore deciding on their bids.
While the bids received through
competition will determine the rate at
which the timber will be sold, the De
partment, as the result of a careful
study, has placed a minimum price
which will be considered on the tim
Der, according to species and situa-
ton. These prices range from $3.50 a
thousand feet for western yellow pine
in the most accessible places, down to
81 90 for the least valuable and least
accessible timber. The initial rates
will be subject to readjustment in 1918
and in 1922 By such reimbursement the
stumpage price may be modified twice
at four-year intervals during the
twelve years which will be allowed for
the removal of the timber.
