1878 BEST YEAR FOR
GOVERNMENT FORESTS
More Than Two Million Board Feet Of
Timber, With Value Of -Four and
one.Half Million Dollars Sold.
INCREASE OF 1877 PER CENT
OVER SALES DURING 1912
Timber Sale Methods and Problems
Explained at Some Length by U.

[uNITEp PRESS LEASED wRE.1

Washington, Dec. 25.-More than
two billion board feet Of timber, with
q value Of four and one.half million
dollars on the stump, was sold by the
forest service last year, according to
the annual report of Henry S. Graves,
forester published today. This is an
increase Of 1877 per cent over the sales
Of the preceding year, The timber sold
was largely for future cutting under
contracts that will run for number
Of years, The actuai cut was a little
less than 500 million board feet, an
increase of 10 per cent over 1912, Still
larger sles are in prospect.
Timber Sale Methods and Problems
The timber sale policy Of the forest
service is summarized as aiming first
Of all to prevent losses by fire, and
secondly to utilize the ripe timber
which can be marketed. Other aims
are: To cut so as TO insure restocking
and forest permanenco; to get the full
market value for the timber sold; to
prevent speculative acquisition and
private monopoly of public timber and
to maintain competitive conditions in
tho lumber industry so far as possible;
TO provide first for the needs Of local
communities and industries; to open
lands Of agricultural value to settle
ment without allowing them to be tied
up by timber spectators; and finally
TO secure as soon as possible the cost

Claims on National Forests.

A large part of the report is devoted
to discussion of various kinds Of
claims under which title to land within
the forests is sought. Nearly a thou.
sand homesteads were taken up under
n special act which phovides for open.
ing to settlement land suitable for ag.
riculture. The report states, however,
that some old homestead claims were
instituted for the purpose Of securing
timber, and the same is still true Of
some mining claims.
As attempted frauds under the
mining laws are usually resorted to by
interests in no way associated with
mining, similarly the vast majority Of
homestead frauds are not chargeable
to practical farming, but the appeal to
popular prejudice has been made in the
name of the mining industry and in the
Inamo Of the farmers Of the country. F"
mlllB Olallns'
"The mining laws" Mr.. Graves
says, "afford the greatest cloak for
land frauds in the national forests, and
fraudulent mining claims are initiated
by men and interests having no connee-
tion whatever with the mining indus.
try, - The mining laws, for example,
have been used to cover townsito and
timber claims to secure farms and
ranches, to secure mineral springs sites
for saloons, water power sites and
stocl, watering place,
II has often been asserted that the
national forests have operated as a bar
to legitimate mining development, Fig.
urcs collected in Colorado during the
past year show that, II anything, there
is moro activity In prospecting on the
national forests than outside.

Costly Windsor Castle.

No royal castle has cost Great Britain more in hard cash than that of Windsor, says the London Chron- icle. When George W. announced his intention of making it family residence parliament granted him f300,O00 toward its reconstruction. For four years the work went merri- ly on under fresh grants, and the king then took possession of the private apartments. That did not end the expenditure however. By the time William ". had satisfied himself that there was nothing more to be done the castle had swal- lowed up close to a million pounds.

The Difference In Men.

One man will settle down into the routine of his calling, digging the ruts deeper each day, until he loses power to see out from them.

So, one person will rest passively on the fact of some we'll established love or friendship and thus lose after time the beau ty of the relationship and the mean ing it once possessed for his life, while another actively wooes the love of his friend every day and so finds a deep, ever opening below deep in the relationship. with an ever fresh realization of the truth and wonder of ife.-Edward Howard Griggs.

VISION OF VULTUKES.
Amazing Sense of Sight of These Keen
 Eyed Birds of Prey.

Eyed Birds of Prey.
 Compared with our human eye sight, the vision of birds of prey is marvellous. The bird student is of- ten amazed at the immense dis tances at which hawks, eagles and vultures can distinguish objects. It is d well authenticated fact that vultures do not find their food by the sense of smell. Many years ago Charles Darwin experimented with the carrion birds of South America and found that so long as the food was concealed from sight, no matter how putrid and ill smelling it was, the birds failed to detect it. Other observers have reached the same conclusion. A correspondent writes: l was detailed for service with some troops that were moving along the Mexican border. One evening we camped near small stream on the western slope of the hills east from San Diego. During the night one of the wagon mules died. We took the body a short distance from camp and partly concealed it in a clump of willows. The next morn ing, after the column had resumed its march, l rode to the summit of the highest hill, some three miles from our camping ground, and swept the country through pair of powerful binoculars.
 As the glasses moved along the horizon a vulture, mere speck in the distance, came into their field. He was sailing in great circles in the blue heavens, miles away far beyond the ken of the unaided eye. Suddenly he paused in his flight, turned sharply and headed directly for our abandoned camp ground. 1 watched him until 1 was convinced that he had discovered the dead mule.
 Then I r6collccted that years ago I had read in one of Captain Mayne Reid's books something of the hab its of vultures, and began to look for others. In a few minutes an other appeared, black speck in the sky, speeding in the wake of the first. Then another and another came, from different points of the |, compass. Then more and more, all hurrying toward their loathsome feast.
 While I watched the gathering vultures 1 made little calculation. When the first vulture discovered the carcass he was not visible to the naked eye and was but a speck through the binoculars. That is, adding the three miles 1 had ridden from camp to eighteen, the range of the binoculars, the bird must have been nearly twenty-one miles from the carcass. That the vulturc depended upon his vision alone is evident, as enough time had not passed for any putrefactive changes to taint the air.
 Another interesting thing was the promptncss with which the other vultures took the hint when the first made his discovery. There was only one in sight to begin with; :; l in ten minutes there were fifty Youths Companion.

 TRAGEDY OF A. $5 BILL.
The Poor Victim Got Plenty of Action
 For Her Money.

For Her Money.
 "I'm in terrible trouble," walled the top floor girl. "l don't know what 1 shall ever do about it,
 "What's happened?" asked her sympathetic friend.
 "Everything. It's all about How ard, and-oh, dear, it's awful! You see, I discovered the other day that I had lost $5. It had been handed me when I was at my writing desk, and instead of at once putting it away in a safe place l stuck it into an envelope and left it there. Later 1 wrote several letters, and when 1 again remembered the five dollar bill it was gone.
 "My natural supposition was that I had sent it away in one of the letters 1 had just written. All those letters except one were business let ters. The exception was to Howard Strong. I immediately wrote to every one of my correspondents and explained what 1 had done and ask cd them to examine the envelope for a trace of the $5. Howard Strong is the only one that has re- piled so far. He sent me the $5. Fortunately, he said, he had not de- stroyed the envelope, and there, tucked away in one corner, he had found the five dollar bill. . "Naturally felt pretty good over that outcome of my mistake, but the next morning when the second chapter began to unroll l didn't feel quite so comfortable. 1 found then, in the top envelope of bunch that I had previously overlooked, that five dollar bill.
 '1t's no use for anybody to try to imagine how I felt then. for it cannot be done. I spent fully two hours puzzling over Towards mo- tive in sending me the money. Finally l came to the conclusion that he must have construed the letter as an ingenious way of asking for loan, and he had forthwith re- sponded in the same roundabout fashion. l wrote Howard a stinging rebuke. I claimed that by putting such construction on my letter he had insulted me. Of course I re- turned the $5.
 "About two hours after I had mailed that letter the third chapter began. Ellen Fariss and l use that writing desk in partnership. It was Ellen's turn at the desk. The first thing 1 knew she was upsetting things in general looking for par ticular envelope.
 "'What kind of an envelope was it:' 1 asked.
 "'One of those plain white ones, she said. It was right on top of this bunch. stuck a five dollar bill into it yestcrday'-
 "At that point in Ellen's explana- ton I collapsed It was her money that I had returned to Howard, and I had to take the last $5 1 had ir the world to settle with her. 1 haven't heard from Howard, and l have not had the courage to write again.
