FOREST BUSINESS
BREAKS THE RECORD

The national forest business done
during the fiscal year which ended June
80, surpasses all previous records. The
receipts from the forests approach $2,-
500, 600 of which about one-half was for
timber, while contracts entered into
for the sale of timber to be cut either
at once or in later years totaled about
81, 900, 900. These sale contracts per-
nit the cutting period to extend over a
number of years when large bodies of
timber are involved.
Under existing laws 35 per cent of
the gross receipts, or between $500, 900
and $3.50, 900, will go to the benefit of
the states in which the forests are sit
uated, for schools and roads.
The records show that the volume of
sales contracted for in different years
fiuctuates widely, with ups and downs
according to general business conditions,
while the actual cut has shown fairly
steady tendency to advance. In the
fiscal year 1906 July l, 1905, to June
80, 1906, the first full year after the

MEAT PRICES MAY
GO MUCH HIGHER

Officials of the department of
agriculture have been viewing
with alarm the possibility of a
large increase in the price of
beef during the coming fall and
winter, due largely to the drought
in the corn belt. Which will
make feed for beef little scarce
and high. They regard as ridic-
ulous stories from Chicago and
elsewhere that sirloin steak will
sell for fifty cents a pound. A
material rise is expected but not
to that extent.
Unfortunately the department
experts are obliged to confirm
the figures which show a dim
inishing supply of beef cattle.
Several formal statements have
been issudd recently in which
the figures showed a falling off
of 80 per cent since 1905. The
falling off has continued grad
ually. This, combined with the
corn belt drought, will have a
tendency to boost prices consid-
erably.

DR.. Graves Strongly Init
mates.

DIR. H. S. Graves, chief forester of
the United States, strongly intimated
during his recent trip to this section of
Arizona, that the greatest part of all
open, untimbered land now included in
national forests, would be excluded as
fast as examinations could be made.
While this may disturb some grazers
for time, it should be done in the in
terest of the public at large. The for
est service under Pinchot wandered
away from the main subject until ac-
tual conservation of trees was but an
incident; grazing, water power sites
and mineral lands claimed more atten-
ton than mere trees. The Indian SER
vice should take notice and commence
like operations, turn loose for public
use the hundreds of thousands of acres
included in Indian reservations which
are now an absolute waste, unused and
excluded from use by an imaginary
line on ap.-Coconino Sun.

FOREST NOTES.

A 115-foot lookout tower on the
Sitgreaves National forest, Arizo-
ma, just constructed by forest Off
GERS, was built entirely of logs
and without the use of hosting
machinery other than ropes and
tackle blocks.
Forest officers on the Payette
national forest are using a COM
pressed air drill in road work on
the forest. There is considerable
rock work to do and the drill
saves time and money in cutting
grades on mountain roads.
In an experimental test track
near Jonesville, Wisconsin, an in
spection just made showed that
hemlock and tamarack ties put
in the track without preservative
treatment were decayed after 81
years service. Those which had
been treated were practically as
good as when first laid.
Light burning of underbrush
to remove forest litter had been
practiced in India; with the idea
that it improves conditions for
teak growing. Now after long
Investigations forest O officials
there say that the fires are harm
full, that full fire protection must
be extended everywhere, and
to be really effective this protec-
ton must be continuous.

PROGRESSIVE" STATE
GOVERNMENT.
(Bisbee Review.)

For 1912 the property of Arizo-
ma was valued for assessment at
100000, 900. On that valuation
the state tax was 90 cents on
the hundred dollars. For this
year the total valuation of the
state fixed by the assessors and
equalizing boards amounts to
1915, 100000. The state tax rate
is now fixed at 493 cents on the
one hundred dollars, more than
half the rate of last year, not
withstanding the assessed valua-
ton has nearly trbled. This
tells the story of the extrava-
gance that has been INDUCED in
by those who have provided the
state government, after having
made the most solemn pledges to
practice economy in this work.
AS a result of the creations of
commissions, boards, inspectors
of about everything man or COM
pany undertakes to do in Arizo-
ma, it will require more than two
million dollars to defray the ex-
penses of the state during the
next year. The state treasury is
today empty and warrants for
current expenses are being reg
istered and must draw interest
until taxes are collected to meet
them.

forest service was put in charge of the
forests, the timber receipts were about
$3.50, 900 in the fiscal year 1907 some
thing less than 100000 and in 1908
about $3.50, 900. In timber receipts
dropped back to less than $75O, 900 but
in 1910 and again in 1911 were over
81, 600, 900 and in 1912 were nearly ST.
100, 600 as against about 1,25O, 900 for
the year just closed.
Forestry officials say that the prin-
cipat factor in determining how much
timber willsbe sold in any given year is
the general market, which in turn de-
pends largely on general business con-
ditions, Thus, when indications are
that a period of brisk demand is ahead,
with increased building activity. rail
road construction, mining development,
and other forms of business expansion
that call for lumber or timber, opera
perators are seeking contracts. When
business halts lumbermen naturally go
slowly in the matter of committing
themselves by new purchases on large
scale. Bnt cuttiog under earlier pur-
chases and small sales continues even in
periods of depression. The gradual dim
unition of outside sources of supply and
the steady development of the country,
which create increased local demands,
tend to offset the effects of such per-
iods.
AS an illustration of this the figures
for 1907 and the Immediately following
years are cited. In the fiscal year 1907
the forest service sold more timber than
has been sold in any later year prior to
that just closed. Contracts were made
covering over billion feet, board meas
ure. But in the fall of 1907 came busi-
ness panic, followed by inactivity.
Sales in 1908 disposed of less than 400
million feet, and in 1909 of less than
300 million. In both these years more
timber was cut under sales than was
disposed of through new sales. The
OlIIeT0nC0 was Cn0 result VI CuLClAlS
under the contracts of earlier years.
Last years sales of over Sd, 900, 900
worth of timber does not necessarily
mean prospective income from tim
Der of this large amount in the imme-
date future, To bring this about there
would have to be a series of big sale
years. The present year may or may
not see sales equal to those of the last.
While general market conditions are at
present less favorable to large comit-
ments than they were six months ago,
the aggressive sales policy now in force
with its opportunities for long term
purchases on fair terms where sales are
possible in no other way, will probably
counterbalance to greater or less de-
gree influences that may tend to check
sales. The need of the country for
national forest timber is growing and
every year brings normally more of
this timber within the radius of effec-
tive demand. The yearly cut and the
income from the forests can reasonably
be expected to raise in the future as it
has been raising, however the number
of sales contracts may fiuctuate.

Occasionally one learns of
boy or girl who does not attend
Sunday school or church regular
ly or at all. Such neglect of
those institutions is wrong from
every standpoint. 1t is safe to
say if children are of the proper
age they will continue the prac-
tice out of love for those places
of worship and of course will
grow to be good men and women.
Children who do not attend places
of divine worship are no doubt
more or less neglected by their
parents. All parents know their
children cannot learn any evil
thing in Sunday school or church.
