THE INCOME TAX REC-
 OGN|zES FORESTRY

Washington. January 21.- For esters and lumberman see in the decision of the Treasury Depart ment in regard to the administration of the income tax strong argu- ment for forestry. As they inter- pret the opinion of the Treasury off cials they understand that no tim berlands shall be subject to the ta x until the timber is cut and market ed and that then the profit only will be subject to an income tax assessment. In other words, all costs will be deducted before the tax is levied, and these will cover the cost of growing the timber, in cluding the cost of planting where necessary and of protecting the growing crop from fire and other depredation-
 This decision was based upon a request for information made by P. s. Ridsdale, secretary of the Amer an forestry association. He asked if there would be a tax on the val ue of the yearly growth timber whether 1t was cut or not, and also whether an income tax would be assessed on the value of the timber land, In reply, the Treasury De partment said that "the gain from the cutting and disposal of stump age is realized in the year during which the timber is cut and dispos ed of, and that the amount receiv- ed in excess of the cost of such timber is profit, and should be so accounted for as income for that year"

'' '' ''''' PtAN PLAN OF DANIELS
Secretary Would Break Up Combination That Con- trols Bidding on War Ves- sels.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels believes there exists among the four great ship building companies of this country cooperative sys- tenn which eliminates competitive bidding on Government work and guarantees each concern the same amount of contracts in a given per iod.
 ''Taking figures covering a given number of years. I have found that each of these four great companies has done practically the same amount of work for the Govern ment," he said.
 In order to stir up competition the Government should build plants for the construction of bat tleships and the manufacture oi armor plate and powder"
 Asked if he thought these plants would really pay after the cost oi building them, the secretary said "They would pay if the doors were locked on the day of their compile ion and never opened again.
 Secretary Daniels said that the prices of American concerns when they were dealing with the Govern ment were exorbitant. He cited the recent instant of a purchase abroad and said that an American firm wanted $16O,O GOO for the same material that was purchased ir England for $5S,O0O.

FOREST NOTES

The forest service collected 40,- GOO pounds of tree seed last year for use in reforestation work. The total area reforested was about 30, . GOO acres.
 There is promise of large tur- pentine industry in the west and southwest, the raw product being supplied by the resinous gum oi western yellow pine.
 German pencil manufacturers are looking to California incense cedar for pencil wood. The estab- lishment of a penci factory in Cal ifornia is not improbable.
 More than 12O million board feet of timber was given away free by the government last year to setters and miners living in or near the national forests.
 There are 16 naples in the United States, most of them being eastern species. The most valu- able, not only because of the pro- duct of its sap but also of the lum- Der, is sugar maple.

PIONEER CITIZEN GONE.

A. A. Aston, of HonalScr, Believed TO
Have Wandered of in DclusiOn.
A. A. Aston, a pioneer citizen of
Honakcr, Va, says the Telegraph, of
Tuesday, mystcriously disappeared
from his home last aturda y
morning. He was seen last going
through the woods near his home
and later on when he did not return
home relatives and friends became
alarmed, and went in search of him.
The nearby woods were secured with
out results. Later he was reported to
have been seen on the county road be
tween Abingdon and Bristol, dis
lance of about forty miles from his
home.
There is some mystery surrounding
his disappearance as is indicated by
the manner in which he left his home
It was the general belief around
Honaker that he wandered off while
cnder temporary mental delusion, as
mis- manner cannot be accounted for
in any other way. He is well known
in that section, having lied there all
his life, about sixty years. Parties
went in pursuit soon after he was
located and hoped to bring him back
to his home.

A Good Loser Whatever His Creed

Next to good winner, the rarest
thing in this wicked world is good
loser. Therefore we rise to remark,
that whatever we have thought of his
writings and beliefs and all the other
things he brought to bear in the brave
but losing fight against statewide pro-
hibition he has made, Sergeant Will
liams of the Roanoke Times, is good
loser. He fought game fight against
the inevitable and predictew awful
things to come in case the state went
dry. Now he proposes to take off his
coat and fight the fight all over again
to keep those things which he pre-
dicted from happening.
In today's Times he pleads that the
whole people of Virginia get together
and make the state dry in fact a.
we'll as in name. He asks the people
of Virginia to stand together as Vir
ginians, and see that the law is no
evaded by subterfuge and carelessness
and that the law not be brought int,
contempt as it has been in othe

w. is Being Discusscd-2O Miles
Extension Goes Into Service.
The first passenger tarin to oper-
ate over the twenty mile extension of
the New River, Holston and Western
railroad, from Rocky Gap to Suffer,
Va, was run on Thursday. The new
extension gives the railroad total of
;thirty-five miles and extends from
Narrows to Suffer. The line is now
open for freight traffic and n daily
passenger schedule has gone into eff
ect. The trains make connections
with trains No. 10 and on the Nor
folk and Western. The new extern
sion penetrates one of the largest
timber belts in southwest Virginia and
will also serve to develop the excellent
farming lands of Bland county. Cat
tie men of Bland county will no long
er drive their export cattle over the
narrow mountain road, a distance of
twenty miles to Wytheville, for ship
ment, as it is understood that stock
yard will be built on the new line in
the near future.
President L. E. Johnson, of the N
& W., and number of other promi-
nent officials will make an inspection
tour of the new line.
There has been considerable talk in
the local railroad circles to the effect
that the next move, which is thought
to be not far ahead, the the New Riv.
err, Holston and Western will make i:
to extend their line from Suffer, Va.
through Tazewell county to Cedar
Bluff, at which point a connection
will be formed with the Clinch Valley
division of the Norfolk and Western
The survey of this route was takel
sometime ago, and the report show
an excellent grade. The distance i
said to be less than twenty miles. II
case this line is constructed it seem
probable that all the coal coming iron
the Clinch Valley division, including
that coming from the Cedar Bluff Gu
off line, would be sent over the Ney
River, Holston and Western road
which is subsidiary line of the n
& W.. This would avoid the heav
grade which the Norfolk and Yves
tern trains now have to operate owe

TO CONSIDER BOTH ROUTES.
Mercer County Court Will Appoint
Viewers for Road to Bland.

Mercer County Court Will Appoint
Viewers for Road to Bland.
Bluefeld Telegraph, 10Th: Before
the county court yesterday the ques-
ton of locating the road between this
city and the top of East River noun
tain at the Bland county line was
argued by representatives of the adj
vocates of each of the proposed
routes. One of the routes propos-
ed follows the present road to the top
of the mountain, and the other is over
new route leaving the present road
near Bailey's school house and reach
ing the Bland line at what is known
as the Abshire low gap. The latter
is not only the nearest route, but it
also affords the best route. A petit
ton from the people living between
the point where the new route would
leave the old road and the top of the
mountain was presented and the petit
TONERS were represented by John Kee,
esq. A petition was presented by cit
liens of Bluefield, through James S.
Kahle, esq, who represented the city
Both of the petitions were numerous
ly signed, some Bluefeld citizens
having placed their name on the Pc
tition for the old road, but the major
ity of the Bluefelders asked for the
new route to be adopted. The bond
issue provided for road to be con-
structed, but did not locate the route
After hearing arguments the court
decided that inasmuch as the route
was not specified in the order calling
for a bond issue election the court
could locate it where it thought best
and had decided to approve viewers
to indicate the two routes and have 4;
survey made of each, and an estimat,
of the cost, to be presented to thu
county court when action would b.
taken. The Bluefield people very
largely favor the route by the Abshir
low gap, and that is the route that tn
supervisors of Bland county indicat
ed they desired as it would provide
better grade and the county of Blan
was ready to meet Mercer at tina
point with an improved road.
