National Forests and Other
 Reservations

Reservations
 Fewer complaints are to be noted during the past year as to the adminis tratiou of the national o'ests, which embrace a very large percentage of the more heavily timbered areas of Alaska, due to the more liberal spirit that has been manifested in the interpretation of ths regulations and the knowledge that the national forest system has become a fixed policy of the govern ment. However, the utility of some of the forest reservations of Alaska may we'll be doubted, particularly in the case of the Chugacb national forest. ] am of the opinion that Chugach nation al forest is more valuable for the mineral veal tn it contains than for it's tim ber.
 The total receipts of the Tongass and Chugach national forests for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, were S52, ,46O.55, as compared with 553,2l841 in the previous year. The total allotment for the management of these national forests for the fiscal year 1913 was s36,74579.
 The number of areas surveyed and platted for occupancy permits during the year was 120 The number of per mits granted during the year for whal- ing stations, canneries, salteries, cold storage plants, mild cure stations, stores, dwelling houses, power sites, humes, etc., was POS; the number of such permits now in force is 332. The number of homesteads surveyed and reported for listing, under the act of June II, 1906, which provides for the entry of agricultural lands within national forests was l6, and twenty miniug claims were examined and re- ported on
 The total number of timber sales made during the year was 267. The to- tai amount of timer scaled and cut in the Tongass and Chugach national forests during the fiscal year was 33,- 4s60 board feet as compared with 4A6474l0 board feet tbe previous year; approximately 5,885.7OO board feet of the amount scaled this year consisted of piliug cut for wharves aud fish traps which amounted to l q69 5O5 linear feet.
 All persons living on or near the national forests in Alaska are permitted to take free of charge all the wood they need for their own domestic purpose Timber needed for prospectors in the development of their holdings is given free of charge.
 Thirty five per cent of the total re- ceipts of the national forests of Alaska is returned 10 the territory for the maintenance of roads, trails and schools; 10 per cent of this amount must be spent on roads and trails within the national forests The 10 1 per cent fund for the fiscal year of 1913 was spent in the construction of a plank road 25OO feet long at Craig, Alaska, and in building 5000 feet of trail from tidewater toward Bailey Bay Hot Springs, in the Tongass Forest re- serve. Approximately Sl,000 was spent duriup the season of 1913 fighting the numerous forest fires in the region of Turnagaiu Arm, Chugach National Forest

BERRY is STILL ON THE JOB
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer1

[From the Philadelphia Inquirer1
Collector of Customs Berry is still on
the Job Not the job of collecting GUS
toms duties. oh! dear. no, but the
job of stumping for Palmer and Nc
Cormick. 1t is a singular business for
the chief Federal officer in Pennsyl-
vania, but 1t must be said for Berry
that he does not do things by halves
It must be remembered that Palmer
and Mccormick were for Berry for
Collector of Customs and it Is only rea-
sonable that Berry should be for Pal.
mer and Mccormick for the things
they want. He does not propose to
lay himself open to the charge of in
gratitude. The office of Collector of
Customs is purely a business one. That
officer comes in personal contact with
shipping men who belong to ali po-
ltical parties, and in many Instances
the Collector is compelled to act as a
judge in deciding vexed questions con-
cerning the administration of the tariff
law. AS a consequence of this, Col
lectors, during the last two decades ut
least. have abstained from open and
,ctive participation in politics. But
Berry is not that sort of a collector.
He knows his friends and his friends
know him, so what are you going to do
about 1t?
The other night Mr.. Berry made the
welkln ring at an old-fashioned rally
held by the Democratic club in the in
terest of Palmer and Mccormick. His
fervor for Mr.. Mccormick knew no
bounds. According to the published
reports of the meeting, he declared
that Mccormick was "no skate" but
that he was man who had asso-
ciated with kings and had never lost
the common touch" This will be good
news for those Democrats who believe
in the surrender of the canal to Great
Britain. To have as their candidate q
man who has Associated with kings
is o. rare privilege and one that will
surely be appreciated. This moment

Cormick has hitherto been kept in the

GUARD EFFICIENCY

THERE Is no hurrying and sour
rying about the Adjutant Gen
! erals Department or the State
Arsenal. There is no excite
ment around the National Guard ar
mories. The Guardsmen are going
quietly and undemonstratively about
their daily duties.
Yet each OF them--from General
Stewart to the company cook-real-
ICES that it is probably a mere matter
of hours until the call to arms shall
have been sounded.
There is no last minute rush be-
cause, as General Stewart put it Ia
an inquiring newspaper man the other

ways ready"

Inflexible Resolution Must Supersede Pedantry

lFrom the Philadelphia Ledger.J
The Mexican situation has passed
from the arena of diplomacy into the
field of action. 1t can do little good
now to rehearse the long series Of
blunders, stubbornly persisted in,
which led up to, If they did not induce,
the lamentable condition which now
exists. In vain publicists urged the
administration to forsake its fatuous
policy, to abandon its untenable po-
sition, looking toward the avoidance
OF Intervention and the rehabilitation
Of Mexico by Mexicans without OBJ
struction by this nation. Futilely this
newspaper, in common with others,
for months deplored the program Of
drifting toward the inevitable, the
academic phrase making of those re-
sponsible for our conduct, the sopho-
moric endeavor to apply ideal inter-
national ethics to very real and
practical problem. Without result the
administration was besought on all
sides to withdraw from it's inexplicable
support of the brigands operating in
the North, into whose vengeful hands
have been put American weapons. In
vain the Secretary of State was called
on to come down out of the clouds and
stand on solid ground, that this nation
might be saved from the fearful obli-
cation which threatened. The peace
makers were too intent on explanation
OF their purpose to put 1t into exc
cution. While they talked the situation
ran away from them.
That stage of the proceedings is
over and done with. The nation has
been dedicated by its responsible off,
GERS to a definite course, and that
course, without bubble, is war. Only
Providence can guide events.
The nation has been dedicated now
to new policy. There is still a uuib-
Bile as to the name of the condition
existing, a hope expressed that our
differentiation of those against whom
our arms are employed will be ac-
cepted by the Mexican people. who
are or are not to be our enemies ac-
cording to their view of their domestic
politics.
II that hope Is illusory, since n

characteristic modesty he had failed
to mention 1t. It remained for the
admiring and enthusiastic Mr.. Berry
to bring the fact to the attention of a
waiting world.
The Collector of Customs, who dis.

prosaic business of collecting customs

behind him." He even went SO far as
to name few members of the dis

not one of the number ever had the
distir ction of associating with kings,

has given touch of color to the cam

discussed such dull topics as the tariff.
the currency, the canal issue and the
Mexican situation. But the eloquent
Collector has lifted the contest to a
higher plane. He has given us some
thing to talk about and to think about,
and only the confirmed grouches would
expect him to confine himself to col
lecting the revenues of the govern
mept.

GETTING TOGETHER

ERHAPS the most significant
u speech In the interest of Re-
i publican harmony recently de-
livered was that of william A.
Prendergast, Comptroller of New
York city. at the Republican State
convention in Indiana. He made a.
sweeping arraignment of the Wilson
Administration and called upon the
Republican Progressives of the State
TO forget their differences and work
under the same banner. He attacked
the Democratic Administration for its
tariff changes, for its foreign policy its
interference with business and the
general incompetence that has charac-
terized the conduct of affairs at Wash
ington.
Mr.. Prendergast is not in harmony
with some of the Progressive leaders
who are striving to interfere with the
rehabilitation of the Republican party.
but he argues that time is q great
healer and has already produced re.
markable results in alleviating much
of the bitter feeling that existed less
than two years ago.
There seems to be no doubt that the
utter failure of the Democratic partv
in the national Administration, after
having been given full control of the
government, is responsible for the bet
ter feeling now existing In the two
camps of Republican voters. Mr..
Prendergast suggests that those lead
ers who refuse to see the handwriting
on the wall will be left to lead them
selves while the rank and file of the
party return to the Republican fold.
He also intimates that the independent
action of the Progressive element of
the party in 1912 has resulted in ac-
complishing much of the reform which
justified the movement.
There is an increasing sentiment
among Republicans of all shades OF
belief that the time has come to for
get the matters and things which d.
vided the party in 1912 and to har-
nscniously work together for the

restoration of public confidence and
prosperity for all the people. How
ever good the Intentions of President
Wilson and those associated with him.
there has been only disappointment
and discouragement since the change
of administration.
Starting right here in Harrisburg
and In Dauphin county, men who have
always been affiliated with the Repub-
lican party. as well as those who for
a time aligned themselves under an
other banner, should get together
upon platform of mutual concession
and as one formidable organization
opposed to further distraction of bust
ness by the party in power. 1t will
not do to simply criticise President
Wilson. Those who are posing in
his name in Pennsylvania and are
approval must be given to understand
that this State, of all others, has had
enough of experimental and theoreti-
cal Democracy. Whatever may be
said by the irreconcilable leaders of
the Progressive element, it is clear
that the large majority of'those who
left the party in 1912, whether they
admit 1t now or not, are ready
to stand shoulder to shoulder with
their Repu blican brethren.
But 1t must be understood by the
leaders of both sections of the party
that there is to be no retaliation on
either side. Bygones must be bygones
and any individual or group of indi-
viduals who shall endeavor to pro-
long the party division by stubborn in
sistence upon lines of policy or party
management contrary to the manifest
desires Of the majority will discover
that they are out of touch with the
real situation. and will soon be leaders
without followers. Any so-called
leader who takes any other course Is
suffering from defective vision and is
not In harmony with the real senti-
ment of Republican voters.
