SALE Of
RESERVE TIMBER

Secretary of Agriculture Houston
has approved the disposal of one bill
lion feet of western yellow pine tim
Der from the Kaibab national forest
in northern Arizona. In order to get
this timber out it will be necessary to
build a railroad approximately 200
miles long. Such a railroad will con
meet Colorado and Utah with the
W~orld-famous Grand Canyon of the
Colorado, which hitherto has been &C.
cessible only from the south.
For several years the construction
of such a railroad has been consider
ed by various capitalists, but it has
been stated that the lack of assured
immediate traffic was an effectual
barrier. 1t 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 supple
mented by the reports of his forest
e~ngineeds induced him to recommend
the sale of such a large body of tim
Der in order that the country might
be developed through the supplying
of this Mr.. Graves says
however, that the Kaibab forest is
one of the most beautiful in America,
and gives assurance that the market
ing 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 highest
bidder. In order to attract a suffi-
cient investment to assure the build
ing of the railroad and of the .neces
sary lumber mills at least a billion
feet of timber had to be offered.
The investment necessary to make
this timber accessible will amount to
more than So, ,000. BY placing
this quantity of timber before the
lumbermen of the country the officials
of the forest service believe that the
development of extensive areas in
southern Utah may be looked for, be-
cause the necessary railway will rem
ueI dcceSslDle TtsouTcts WHICH nave
heretofore been undeveloped. The
whole region is rich in agricultural
land, in cattle and sheep range, and
in coal and copper deposits, as well as
in timber.
Bids for the timber will be receiv-
ed up to the middle of June, 1914, and
three years will be 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 the
end of each fve-year period of the
contract, the readjustments being
based on the then current lumber
prices
Py the end of the contract period,

the forest officers say, the young
trees left on the area first cut over
will be ready for cutting, so that by
the system of numbering which the
government will require, operations
can continue permanently in this
lumber belt. The annual cut will be
not less than forty million feet, most
large consuming lumber markets in
Utah and Colorado.
The Kaibab forest is one of the
most heavily timbered in the south
west, the stand OF timber being brok-
en- only occasionally by beautiful
meadows or openings locally known
as parks. Lumbermen who have Wis
tied it consider the country ideally
adapted to logging. There are, al
of which more than one billion feet
are mature and ready for cutting.

RECOMMENDS MORE
IMMIGRATION LAWS.
Caminetti Would Have More
Restriction on Certain
Kinds of Oriental Immi-
grants.

Washington, JAN 4.-Positive recon-
mendations will be made by the bureau
of immigration for the further restriction
of certain kinds of Oriental immigration.
A. Caminetti commissioner general of
immigration, returned to Washington
Saturday from an extended official trip
to immigration stations on the Pacific
coast He plunged at once into the prep
aration of his annual report which will
submit some important recommendations
particularly with regard to Oriental i'm
migration.
1T is not my purpose" said he Satur-
day, Ito direct my recommendations at
any particular people; but it is perfectly
manifest that many Orientals now are
getting into this country unlawfully. This
is particularly true of the so-called stu
dents. who ostensibly come to this coun-
try to obtain an education. Many OF
these people, am satisfied, are merely
laborers who come here in the guise OF
students. Proposed regulations and laws
will be drafted in an effort to restrict
this sort of immigration.
"On the Pacific coast" continued Com
missioner Caminetti, the admission t.
the country of Hindus has become a Sc
rious problem. l am having search
made of our records now to ascertain
how many of these people are in the
United States legally. l am convinced
that scores, perhaps hundreds. have got
ten in surreptitiously.
Some of them have come across the
Mexican or Canadian border, where hith-
erto it has been impossible entirely to
prevent smuggling. This smuggling ap-
plies not only to undesirable people but
to opium and perhaps to other articles.
expect to recommend that provision be
made for more rigid patrol of both
borders than we ever have had"
Commissioner Caminetti probably will
recommend that an extensive patrol
force be established on the northern
border from Cascade mountains to the
ocean, and on the southern border from
Arizona to the sea.

NOT FOR TRUNK
HIGHWAYS ONLY.
Sen. Conant, One of Fran
ers of the $4,000, 900 Good
Roads BillStates Intention
Of Authors Was Not to
Benefit Trunk Lines Alone.

Auburn, Maine.

Bangor. Me-, Jan. 4.-Senator c. NJ. Co.
nant of Winterport is one of the legisla-
tive committee which framed the high
way bill which provides a 100000 bond
issue for Improvement of Maine roads.
Following the report of the State High
way Commission designating a system of
trunk highways upon which
the proceeds of the bond issue are to be
expended, Mr.. Conant says that the
trainers of the law did not intend that
the money should be applied to trunk
lines alone.
Senator Conant said Saturday: 1T
was never suggested in the committee
that the money was to be devoted to
trunk lines alone, nor do / believe that
any considerable number of the legisla-
tors. if any, had any such idea. We stat
ed in the law that it was to be used for
trunk or interlocking highways, for State
aid highways and for maintenance and
there was no intent TO carry out any of
these features at the expense of the 9TH
ers
Il had never heard, until stated by the
commissioners, that the law provides that
the funds shall be used for trunk lines
alone. l know that there was no such
intention on the part of the Legislature
or of the committee, and l cannot find
any such construction in the law
