troops under General Canbratti have
suffered reverse became known In
dispatches announcing that they were

FYght use of Strong spirits.

Berlin-German military authorities
who for several years have carried on
a campaign against the use of strong
spirits in the army have decided to
send a circular TO all recruits in the
future describing crimes committed
within the military service traceable
to the excessive use of alcohol and also
showing punishment given the convict
ed men. The campaign waged by
army officials already has proved de-
cidedly successful and the use of dis
titled spirits among the soldiery has
been diminished.

Occur d'Aleae- The forest service
here made an announcement of its pol
icy in the sale of green live timber
from the Occur d'Alene national for
est, which will be effective for the
next five years. The total amount of
timber to be cut in any year will not
exceed so, 900, 900 board feet, and the
sale contracts will not exceed three
years in duration except in unusual
circumstance. An annual cut of not
to exceed 10000. 900 board feet will
be permitted in any one sale.
This policy is In line with the gen.
eral principles under which the forest
service is selling timber. All ripe
timber Is for sale. but its cutting will
be so regulated as to provide for a
permanent supply uniform in the
amount cut annually. upon which the
local mills can count definitely. From
the best data available it Is believed
that young stands reaching maturity
from time TO time will permit an an
nual cut of the amount mentioned
above indefinitely. Provision will be
made in each contract to secure sat
isfactory stocking of the land cut
over, but in such way as to mean
but little additional expense to the
operator cutting the timber. The sec
ond provision is to prevent speculative
purchase of timber.
The timber on the Occur d'Alene
forest Is for the most part easily ac-
cessible and a contract period of three
years or less will in most cases amply
Justify logger in putting in improve
ments necessary TO carry on the work.
The limitation Of the size of individ-
ual sales Is to prevent the monopolixa-
ton Of the whole cut of the forest by
one'or two large concerns.
In accordance with this policy bod
les of timber will be advertised from
time to time until the maximum limit
Of 90, 900, 900 board feet s.year is un-
der contract Before advertisement
all timber will be carefully estimated
and appraised by competent men, the
maximum prices fixed being based on
the cost of logging. with fair profit
allowed to the operator.

the United States for an aggregate Of
s6S, 4s9 against the Chicago. Mlwau-
kee 4 st. Paul Railway company of

tion on national forestry reservations
and for debris wrongfully thrown into
the st. Joe and its tributaries. This
action has been pending in the courts

kee railroad across the north end Of
Idaho. Many of the acts complained
OF by the Forestry department took
place along the shores Of the st. Joe
river.
