An unusual feature OF this sale is
the fact that on part Of the area the
forest will be destroyed. The object
viii be to clear this part OF the area
for agriculture instead OF providing
for forest renewal. Provision s of the
Sample Timber Sale Contract" and
the provisions regarding "Agricultur
al Land" under the head Rules for
Marking and Brush Disposal" illus
trate how this will be done
When the area has been cleared of
timber and the slash burned, the land
will be opened to homesteading under
the provisions OF the Forest Home
stead Law If the Forest Service
did not sell OFF the timber before open
ing the land 10 entry the value Of
the present stand of timber would
cause the land to be held speculativeiy
instead of being cleared fol- farms
But the land will be better employed
growing farm crops than growing
timber: and thence the Forest Service
is preparing to put it in to the hands
of bona iidc settlers. under proceed
ure which will insure agricultural de-
velopment
The Federal Government will re-
ccve about $500 600 for. the timber, of
which s225,O 600 viii go to the benefit
of the state for public schools and
good roads.
The minimum stumpage price OF So
specified for the white pine on these
logging chances is unusually high, be-
cause this western pine is the most
valuable stumpage on the National
Forests. The timber is easily worth
the price, and no difficulty is antici-
pated IN securing bids on the basis
named
The IL per cent. profit to the lum-
bermen allowed for in calculating the
stumpage rates to be charged is eX-
elusive OF interest on the investment,
which was figured at per cent. The
minimum prices allow, therefore for
profit OF 70 per cent. OH every thous-
and feet of timber sold. over and
above interest on capital and all over

that the manufacture Of lumber is a
business which. because of the risks
involved, requires a high return in
order TO induce operators to under
take a logging enterprise.

STING In THE TAIL.

To the Editor of THE EVENING

Sir: Welll Welt Welll Welll
The mountain went into labor and
brought forth-not the mouse OF stor-
led fable but a lemon.
II was a splendid forward step of
the Chamber of Commerce to take in
adopting the resolutions, for the first
trial. advocating publicly-owned
waterfront-magnificent, so far: but
like some other animals" of this
world the sting IS in the tail.
If the last resolution about legal un-
certainties may help delay and post
pone some decisive action till this sit

iourned, don't you think the interests

ATLANTA MULE AND
HORSE MARKET
Corrected by the National Stock Yards
Commission Company; c. G. Tur-
ner. Presldentl

The market has been very active this
week. There has been good demand for
large mules and they are selling from FIVE
to ten dollars higher than they were last
week. As people seem to want mules for
wagon and road work and the demand
for that grade of mules seems to be
greater than the supply, therefore. we
expect a rise in the market on the large
mules.
Small mules, unbroke, are going a little
SLOW, as the people seem 10 want them
ready for work just now. The market
on this grade has declined from ten TO
fifteen dollars.
Plug mules and horses are in good de
mand and bring what we consider a good
price, as the farmers want something
ready To go to work with.
Inc trade on horses for the past week
has been very good. There Is a better
demand than there has been for some
time The prices have advanced from
ten TO fifteen dollars on Southern chunks
and plug horses. There is still room for
another advance.
Parties in need Of stock we would ad-
wise to buy a. an early date, as We
think the hlgh-water mark has not been
reached yet.
During the past week the mule and
horse market has been very active. with
mules advancing $500 a head and horses
$1,000. This being crop time, it inspires a
heavy demand throughout the country for
stock, and we believe that the market
horses have been in heavy demand, also
cheaper grade of plugs, which shows
an advancing tendency.
