The Snyder signal. (Snyder, Tex.) 1887-????, 1915-10-01

The Fort Worth Record has con-
stantly hammered on the cotton Sit
uation and IT, efforts will be remem-
berod by an appreciatiye public. The
Record. like the Signal has contend
ed all along that the crop this year
was abnormally small and the de
mand abnormally large. Farmers
have been urged to hold their cot
ton of Of the market and most OF
them have been disposed to do it..
There Is virtue in organized action
In any line Of human activity and
that organization can be made as po-
tent In marketing rs In any other
liuc, and we believe that spirit Of or
ganlzatlon and the constant preach
monts Of the Record. the Signal and
other sane aud influential journals
have had effect, but we hould not
be blind to the fact that the low
crop estimates have done fully az
much to convince the spinners and
spectators that they must bid up.
The recent estimate OF 1900. 900
bales gave a boost to the market and
In spite OF the bears. the price got

the crop was even smaller, the

Latest TranscOntinental
Road Nears the Pacific
NNLY a few miles now remain to
link up the Canadian Northern

Ek0NLY a few miles now remain to
link up the Canadian Northern
Railway from ocean to ocean,"
was the statement made by R. Creelman,
general passenger agent of the Canadian
Northern, while on a visit to Chicago re-
Gently. The last gap Mr.. Creelman
said, north Of K%amloops, in British Co.
iumbia, Is being closed up at the rate of
nearly three miles a day and the final
linking up Of the unbroken line of steel
from the Atlantic to the Pacific should
lake place before the end of this month.
1t still lacks more than four years Of
a nall century since the Union Pacific
and the Central Pacific first linked up the
TWO oceans, forming the first continuous
all-rall route across the continent. BY
1855 the Canadian Pacific was completed.
The Canadian Northern is the latest Of
the transcontinentals. probably the last in
our generation, and plans are now in
progress to drive its golden spike within
a few weeks.
1t Is noteworthy in this connection
that the Canadian Northern crosses the
continent with the lowest grade of any
American transcontinental. The line ex-
tends from Quebec, where connection is
made with its own line of Atlantic steam
ships, through the principal cities of Can
ada-Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Port Ar
thur, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, Cal
gary-right through to Vancouver, on the
Pacific. 1t spans millions of rich agri-
cultural land in Western Canada never
tapped by a railway line, besides large
timber and mineral resources hitherto in
accessible owing to lack of transportation.
The Canadian Northern is also build
ing a line from Victoria, on Vancouver
Island, to the northern part Of the island.
Connections with the mainland at Van
cOuyer will be established by huge car
ferries which will ply to Patricia Bay, from
which a line now runs to Victoria"
While the main line Is approximately
800 miles from Quebec to Vancouver,
the feeders increase the total mileage Of
the system to slightly over 5000 miles,
nearly two-thirds of which has been in
operation for a number of years.
THE completed transcontinental will
be a monument to the enterprise of two
lo~ng-famous railroad builders, Sir Will
IAN Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann.
Their first experience in railroad build
ing came with the construction of the
Canadian Pacific 80 years ago. Since
1896 they have been actively engaged on
the Canadian Northern system, pushing
its lines into every part of Canada, and
whose slogan ocean to Ocean by 1915"
is now about to come true. Mr.. Creel-
man concluded by saying that through
passenger and freight traffic would, I'M
doubtedly, be established on the entire
line some time this Summer.

New Lease Law for Summer
Homes in National Forests

a CCORDING to the terms of the agri-
"A cultural appropriation act recently
passed by Congress, it is now possible for
responsible persons to lease, for periods
not exceeding 80 years, not to exceed
fiye-acre tracts within the National for
ests for the construction OF Summer
homes. hotels, stores, or other recreation
or public conveniences. This announce
ment was made recently by the District
Forester at Portland, Or.
Heretofore, camping sites, hotel sites
and the like could be rented, at a nomln-
al fee, under special use permit. Wnile
This permit was given for~an INDEFINITE
neriod. II was reyocable In the discretion
of the department.
Under the terms of the new law, now
ever, such sites may be leased for a term
of years and the lease can be canceled
ONLY for a violation of its provisions. IL
ia. of course, optional with the applicant
whether he obtains his camping site under
special use permit or under lease. IL Is
obvious that a mar desiring to secure a
location in the forest for a summer hotel
would feel that his investment was better
protected by a lease.
II should be understood that this lease
law is not q homestead law In any sense,
and the title to the land remains with the
Government. At the expiration OF the
lease, unless renewed, the lands VIII re-
vert to the Government. The improve
ments. however, may be disposed OF by
the owner as provided in the lease. The
Secretary has no authority under this law
to issue patents.
MANY people have already availed them
selves of the camping site privilege, and
as a result there are many Summer homes
within the National forests. of the North
west. There are still many scattered lots
and some surveyed tracts which oiter
splendid opportunities for recreation
grounds in the forests of Washington and
Oregon, notably in such localities as
klamath Lake, Oregon; Lake Chelan,
Lake Keechelus, Lake Queniult and Cres-
cent Lake, Washington.
II is expected that the Secretary of Ag-
riculture will approve, in the near future,
regulations which will effectively carry
out the provisions of this law.

WOODS THAT ARE VALUABLE
Many Countries Contribute Varieties
In Great Demand for Various
Purposes.

Rosewood is the name applied to the
wood of different trees in their respec-
tive countries, so the commercial rose
wood is not always the same. The rose
wood of Brazil is considered the finest
In every way, and is made into beauti-
full furniture.
The myrtle tree, a common one In
Palestine, is useful because it's leaves
are used for sachet powders, and from
1t an oil is obtained which Is used in
perfume. The myrtle Is an emblem of
the Jewish feast of the passover and Is
mentioned several times in the Bible.
1t is not large tree, for 20 feet is
usually its maximum height.
Ebony Of the best quality comes
from India, CeyIon and other tropical
countries, where 1t is obtained in logs
sometimes Is and 20 feet long. The
darkness of the wood increases with
the age Of the tree. 1t Is very hard
wood and hence it is desirable for fur
niture making. It's unique color, too,
makes it always worthy of notice, and
1t was combined with ivory by the
Greeks to bring out it's color.
Satinwood is produced both in the
East and West Indies, and, indeed, an
inferior variety comes from Florida. 1t
is another very hard wood, Of fine,
light grain-almost canary yellow in
color. 1t Is used for cabinet work and
nowadays very largely for the backs
OF hair brushes and clothes brushes. 1t
takes very high, satiny polish.
Lignum vitae, another very hard
wood, comes also from the West Indies.
1t is so hard that it is useful for max
ing pestles, pulleys and other things
that require great strength. 1t has a
flower like the hepatica, which comes
in clusters.
