Which Timber the Secretary of
Agriculture of the Nation
DiSposeS of.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Secretary
of Agriculture Houston has approved
the disposal of one billion feet 0.
western yellow pine timber from inc
Kaibab national forest in northern
Arizona. In order to get this timber
out il will be necessary TO build a
railroad approximately 200 miles
long. Such railroad will connect
Colorado and Utah with the world
famed Grand Canyon of the Colorado,
which hitherto has been accessible
only from the south.
For several years the construction
of such railroad has been constd-
cred by various capitalists, but ii has
been ctated that the lack OF assured
Immediate traffic was an effectual
barrier. It is pointed out. however.
that a contract for a billion feet of
timber will overcome this difficulty
by providing a commodity for trans
portation which, together with tour
ist and local traffic. will place the
project on a paying basis practically
from the outset.
Chief Forester Henry s. Graves
made a personal examination on the
ground, and this examination sup
plemented by the reports OF his for
est engineers, induced him TO recon-
mend the sale of such large body of
timber in order that the country
might be developed through the sup
plying. of this resource. Mr. Graves
says, however, that the Kaibab for
est is one of the most beautiful in
America, and gives assurance that
the marketing of the mature crop of
timber will not be allowed to mar the
scenic beauty of the region.
In accordance with the timber sale
policy of the government the stump
age will be disposed of to the high
est bidder In order to attract a suf-
Gicient investment to assure the
building OF the railroad and of the
necessary lumber mills at least y
Billion feet of timber had TO be Of
fered. The investment necessary TIC
make this tim Der accessible will
amount to more than S3,000,009. By
placing this quantity of timber be-
fore the lumbermen OF the country
the officials of the forest service be-
lieye that the development of exten-
sive areas in southern Utah may be
looked for, because the necessary
railway will render accessible re-
Sources which have heretofore been
undeveloped. The whole region is
rich in AGRICULTURAL land, in cattle
and sheep range. and in coal and cop
per deposits, as well as In timber.
Bids for the tim Der will be received
up to the middle of June, 1914, and
three years viii he allowed for the
building of the railroad and mills,
and twenty-five years for the cutting
of the timber. The stumpage rates,
however, will be readjusted at tn
end of each ,fiveTyear period OF tn
