commercial opportunities on the for
ests widely and successfully. Its sale
contracts are framed to meet practical
business and logging conditions. They
are accepted by business men and are
attracting large Investments. The
small manufacturer is sought wher-
ever he is equipped to utilize the TIM
Der. But where the capital and organ
ization of the big operator are needed
to develop inaccessible areas, large
sales are made. Yet in all contracts,
holding timber for speculation is pro-
hibited and the payment of the proper
value is assured by frequent adjust
ments of price.
This policy is succeeding. The use
of national forest timber on a sound
and stable basis is increasing very
rapidly. During the first seven and
one-half months of the current fiscal
year owe 1900, 900, 900 feet has been
sold. Many operators are looking to
the forests for new locations. If the
demand is sustained, the yearly sales
will soon reach 5000, 600. 900 feet. The
annual growth on a number of forests
which are within reach of markets is
now fully used. AS " transportation
facilities are extended this will be
brought about on every forest.

She CAN'T DARN SOCKS
Only Natural That Wife Should Be
Cranky Now.

Chicago, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Porter McC1in-
took, wife of a University of Chicago
professor, made the claim before the
Wilmette Woman's club last night the
introduction of 'man made machinery
is one of the chief causes for domestic
difficulties.
There is no longer any darning of
socks or knitting said she. MANS
inventions have taken the human in
terest out of household work and there
is nothing left the housewife but druid
gerry If she is able to keep a maid
she has nothing to do. Man thinks
always of efficiency. Woman has
sympathy and sentiment. She is the
saving grace of the present.
''The worst is that with the passing
of pleasant household employments
there also has passed much of the old
time pleasure of home life. Today's
pleasures are taken mainly away from
the home.'

To open ALASKA
President Recommends Build
ing of Government Railroads.
In a Special Message Directed
to Congress.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Alaska's vast
resources can be brought within
reach of the rest of the world in the
opinion of President Taft by the con-
struction, with government assistance,
of two railway lines from the Alaskan
coast to the interior, ownership of
which shall be vested in the govern
ment which shall be operated by prf-
vate parties under lease.
In a special message transmitting to
congress the report of the Alaskan
railway commission the president to-
day strongly urged legislation along
those lines. asking that the govern
ment either guarantee the principal
and interest of bonds necessary to
build the roads construct them.
81 am opposed to government oper-
alton but 1 believe that government
ownership with private operation un-
der lease is the proper solution" wrote
the president.
One road recommended by the COM
mission would connect Cordova with
Fairbanks by way of Chitina, the other
would link Seward with Iditarod. The
first would open up the Behring river
coal field; the other the Matanuska
field. The two roads would have a to-
tai mileage, with branches of 733 miles
and would cost about $35, 100000.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Mariners are
to be warned by the navy photographic
office of the presence of dangerous
rock just discovered by the surveying
ship Hannibal as she was proceeding to
her working grounds on the east coast
of Central America. In view of the
approaching completion of the Panama
canal, the work of the Hannibal along

cred of high Importance. When her
work is finished correct geographical
positions of several points on the coast
will have been established and light
houses, beacons and buoys will be con-
structed At the present time almost
all of the navigation aids are main
tanned by private firms.
The work plotted out for the Hanni-
bal from Cape Gracias A. Dios to
Porto Bello, will occupy her about ten
years if she does it alone. The navy
department hopes to put out the Leon
idas to assist the Hannibal and thereby
hasten the completion of the surveys.

State Exposition Fight Before
Committee Tonight.
Hutchinson and Topeka Lined
Up For Fray.
MAY DODGE The ISSUE.
Senators Afraid OF Political
Connections.
Capital City Has Distinct Equip
ment Advantages.

The annual state fair fight undouot-
edly will be worked out this evening
when the committee on state a1alrs
takes action on the three bills as
signed to them by the lieutenant gov
ernor. Four actions can be taken;
"a Appropriate $4,000 and give the
fair to Hutchinson.
CD Accept the $4,000 gift from To-
peka and give the fair to this city
without an appropriation
go Put the proposition up to the vote
of the people
az Declare all cities out of the run
ming and refuse to recognize an ofnclal
state fair
The committee is composed of Chair
man James Malone of Rawlins county
1. NJ. Kinds of Labette county. Jouett
Snouse of Edwards county. ]. F. over
field of Montgomery county and +, I.
Price of Clark county.
If the homes of the senators have
anything to dc with the location of the
fair. Hutchinson will get it. The salt
city has senators from two nearby
districts. Two other counties are
nearer Hutchinson than Topeka. A
third is nearer Topeka by railroad
If the appropriation, the location, the
grounds, the advantages and the
patriotism cut any figure-Topeka
should have a walkaway-
Advantages of Capital City.
Topeka offers to give the state $10,-
900 a year for two years for the main
tenance and running expenses of the
state fair in this city. Furthermore
Topeka offers her grounds valued at
$25O,000 with all natural advantages.
For instance-Topeka has grounds
covered with blue grass sOd-no sand
and dust CRIME. Again-Topeka's s
grounds are provided with a natural
grove of fifteen acres-excellent ad-
vantages for camping purposes. No
other state fair can boast of grove
The half mile Topeka track is the fin
est in the west. The grounds are we'll
the capital square. A double track
street car line runs to the entrance
Fireproof buildings have been erected
1t has been found that all the sue
cessful state fairs of the country have
been held in capital cities. Columbus,
o.: Springfield, ILL.,; Des Noines. Ia;
st. Paul. Mimi, and Lincoln, Neb.-
all these cities are noted for their
state expesitiOnS.
Hutchinson has the advantage in a
we'll organized fight in both houses un-
der the generalship of Emerson Carey.
Senator Carey has been in the legisla-
ture a number of years and he has
lined up a strong support.
1t is doubtful if the legislature will
appropriate any funds for a state fair.
And it is whispered around the SEN
ate that the state will dodge the en-
tire proposition.
I'VE have enough politics without
creating a state fair pork BARREL" is
the way one senator put it today.
The result of the committee fight is
awaited with interest in all parts of
the state.
