SELLS TIM
BER IN SOUTHERN IDAHO

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The De
partment of Agriculture has begun ad-
vertising two large tracts of timber
which aggregate $50 million feet on
the Pavette river within the Boise and
Pavette national forests, Idaho. The
district forester at Ogden, Utah, will
receive bids up to and including June
1, 1913, and for an additional month
if intending purchasers wish more
time to examine the timber before de-
eiding 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 careful
study. has placed minimum price
which will be considered on the tim
ber, according to species and situation.
These prices range from $3.50 thous-
and 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 readiustment in
1918 and in 1922. BY such readJust-
mcnt the stumpage price may he
modified twice at four-year intervals
during the twelve years which VIII ne
sllowed for tine femoNal ol the ti'h
ber
The department officials point o
that, in sales of such large quaint
# timber. it is necessary to aHr"
long term contract because OF the
magnitude of operation and invest
rent. The fact that many large sales
have been made with readlustment
lauses indicates, it is held, that tim
her operators find the method business
ike and practicable.
The timber to be cut lies on the
watersheds of the south and middle
eorks of the Payette, and bids will be
received for any or all of the timber
:, either fork. II is accessible to
southern Idaho, which is developing
rapidly and in which the demand for
| timber will increase.

MUSICAL AUTO HORNS
BARRED BY PARIS. JUDGE

The musical automobile horns
which threatened to fill the main
streets of Paris with snatches of popu-
lar or classical airs instead of the
usual "honk, honk," have come to a
quick finish in France.
A test ease was brought against
two motorists Of Douai, who enlivened
the night trumpeting the leitmotiv of
"Die Walkure. and il has been de-
cided that these instruments are IL
legal The decision brought out
judicial definition of the word
"horn," which had hitherto been
rather widely interpreted.
s'The latter said the Judge
ssmust be for the purpose of sounding
an alarm and be used to warn the
public, not TO amuse il. II must give
forth single note which should be
grave. even sinister, in order to call
attention to the impending danger.

the Judge, "lack seriousness, and are

W|CKLUND SELLS
SUNSHINE MINE

Z. Wicklund returned this me rning
on, the "Pacific Limited from San
Francisco, where he closed the deal
for the sale of his Silver Boy -
mine, at Sunshine. A controlling in
terest in the property was purchased
by Noble Jones, real estate man To-
Gated at 255 Montgomery street, and
Charles Olmstead.
1t is hard to say Just what the equi-
valent of the purchase price would be
in cash. A tract of irrigated land at
Madaline, Lassen county, California,
with fine buildings, a substantial cash
payment and large block of stock
in the new company to be formed were
the consideration.
Between now and the first of May
a tube mill, with capacity of 20 tons
per day, will be installed. This is
a new idea in mills and is manufac
tured in Chicago by the Johnson
Martin company.
When Mr.. Wicklund left for San
Francisco last Tuesday he left the
property in charge of Charley Pike
who will continue 10 act as superin-
tendent. Mrs. Pike arrived from Reno
this morning and left for camp later
in the day.

THE FUTURE GROWTH OF
MOTOR-TRUCK TRANSPORT

No person can predict accurately
the strides which will be made in the
next ten years toward completely mo-
torized highway trffic. The utilization
of motor trucks up to the present time
has been naturally confined to large
cities, where streets are well paved
and where shipping by rail and by
water presents problems which have
compelled the employment of more
efficient means of getting the goods
quickly to the customer While the
increase in the number of motor trucks
in New York city, for example. has
been more than 100 per cent per year
during the past three years, and that
of Chicago more than $50 per cent a
year. the growth of motor transporta-
tion in smaller cities, particularly
where paving is bad, has been rela-
lively slow. Outside of cities, the
motor truck, except in isolated cases,
has made comparatively little head
way. The great drawback to the use
of motor truck as a cross-countrv
transportation agency is rather a prob
lem of insufficient bridges to stand
the load than of poor highways. The
better motor trucks today are made
strong enough to stand the strain of
bad roads, and can operate anywhere
that traction can be had, although
these are not the conditions under
which motor truck can show the best
efficiency.
Probably $4,000 to $4,000 CONNER
cial motor vehicles are in service in
the United States today. These $4,000
odd mechanical wagons have displac-
ed perhaps 100000 horses, but have
hardly made a small "dent' in the
total number of horses in use.
1t is safe conclusion that we shall
not see completely motorized highway
commerce in important cities for the
next fifteen or twenty years, but it is
safe prediction that there will be
more than 100000 motor trucks in
the United States by 1925.
Certainly the motor truck industry
looms up as one of our biggest fu-
ture mechanical industries.-R. w.
Hutchin, in Engineering Magazine.

IMMENSE FORTUNE
OF THE ROTHSCHILDS

A statistician has just completed
figures which, he asserts, show the
fortune of the famous house of
Rothschild. The entire fortune is es-
timated at ten millards of franks. A
millard is billion; so that in dollars
the Rothschild fortune equals $1,000
100000.
Placed at per cent the Rothsehild
fortune would produce an annual rev
enue of $s0,000,000 But this sum is
far from being reality, as the great
part of the Rothschild riches is in
property. In Lancashire they own
immense thread mills, while in Ger
many they possess numerous coal
mines with capacity of millions of
tons per annum. In Brazil the Roth
schilds own immense rubber forests,
and in Persia factories where the
most beautiful carpets in the world
are made.
In Spain there are numerous zine
and lead mines operated by the Roth
sehilds. In South Africa also the Roth
schilds own mines. The Rothschilds
in addition own large forests in ST.
IBERIA, while in Australia entire cities
are their property. They also own
large quantities of real estate in the
different European eapitals.-New
York Times.
