thority was questioned by Mills. who
governor. did not have anything TO do
with the Fish commission and that If
any meeting of the commission was
called ii would be by him in his office
at Carson City and not in Reno. This
reply was prompted by the governor,
when, Immediately after getting off
the train, approached Mr.. Mills and
said something about calling a meeting
of the Fish commission at Reno on
next Saturday.
In a interview with the governor
this afternoon he said that repeated
efforts had been made to get a meet.

For newspaper to be classed

doubt many people have been wonder.
ing just what is the reason for the
jaundiced hue of many of the pages of
dailies and in some hazy way connect
it with Germany and the war, which
is quite right.
Bleach is scarce and has advanced
enormously in price. Before the war
ii cost $3.50 ton, but now manufac-
turers of paper are paying as high as
16R cents a pound for it, or $3.50 a
ton. Bleach, which is nothing else
than chlorine. used to come to the
United States almost entirely from
England and Germany. But we have
been growing gradually more self-suf-
ficient. Most of the supplies now used
in the United States are made at Mia.
CARA Falls. in Michigan and Pennsyl-
vania. NANNY new plants have re.
Gently started production. but the de-
mand is enormous. Not only is chlor-
inc used as bleach for paper and
cloth. but il is now in great demand
for the manufacture of high eXplo.

pany are using vast quantities of it.

Following Clash of Authority
Fish Commissioner is Dismissed

whether he resigned or not.
When the governor was asked the
question whether he had anyone in
mind to appoint in Mr.. Mills place.
he said that possibly Sam Doten Of
the State University would be named.
as he was man well informed on fish
culture.
The following telegram and letter
were written and sent to Mr.. Mills
and Mr. Nixon this afternoon:

Having had no reply to my letters

(With apologies to George AdeJ

(With apologies to George Ade)
Once there was a Young Jay from
Hick Town who struggled thro' High
School on his Nerve and emerged with
the Attic still Vacant.
His Governor got Wise to the Fact
that he was still Dead from the Neck
up and sent him to the University of
Nevada to see if the knowledge Max

Hopeless one arrived in Town all
Dolled up in Il Rubber Collar and

times in Reno. So he Blew chunk
of his allowance for q Hart. Schaffner

Remembering that Abe got to be
President without any Education he
allowed He should worry and laid off
the Study Stuff entirely and started
TO give the Goods great Play. Fuss
ing came Natural TO this Bird and
soon he had all the Dolls Eating out
of his hand. Life with him was lust
one Little Dame after another and he
got to be more Popular with the Fee

When the smoke cleared away the

BRITAIN'S FORESTS
HARD HIT BY WAR
Problem Of Preventing q Sc
riOus Shortage Of Timber
sidered.
LUMBERMEN IMPORTED


LONDON. May 30.-Not even In the
days Of the Armada and the wooden
walls OF England was there such a tree
telling as Is now going on In Great
Britain. In every wood the sound OF
the axe and the saw can be heard and
lumber camps as picturesque as any on
the Missouri are to be found as far
apart as the Scotch nr woods and the
Windsor and New forests. where the
Canadian lumbermen are working. Be-
hind the statement Of Mr.. Acland In
the House OF Commons this week that
the Home Grown Timber Committee had
been successful In securing supplies
there lies a story OF one OF the best
efforts that has been made by any Gov
department to meet the pres
ent war emergency.
The emergency work OF the committee
has included not only the importation OF
Canadian lumbermen. who are now
working in three ann in the forests
mentioned above and In Devonshire. but
the importation Of Irishmen and even OF
Portuguese who are now employed in
cutting pit props to supply the Welsh
coal fields.
by an order In Council under the
defence of the realm act the committee
has been empowered to commander all
the timber u of the country. but
SO far their action has been limited TO
negotiation with the landowners. who.
Mr.. Acland says. have met them most
fairly" This step was rendered neccs-
sary by the fact that the Government
had no large supply under its own con-
trol Britain was not alone In falling
to anticipate the consumption OF tim
Der which war would entail. In none
OF the belligerent countries. not oven in
Germany. had a proper estimate been
made OF the demand tina, would arise
for ash wood for wagons. for fir for
trench work. for woods for hutrnents
and for the thousand other needs of
the army.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1916-06-18

There remains. however. this differ
onc-. that Germany and the other coun-
tries had their supplies at hand In the
best possible condition OF storaEe-in
their forests-while the British even
now. when tonnage has become SO i'm
portant "a factor in the war, are import
ing some six or seven million cubic feet
of timber each week.
II In these circumstances the German
submarine warfare had been more sue
cesefrl there would have been necessary
a Wholesale destruction of British forests
which would have laid England bare for
q generation.
Now much IL being lone TO use Brit
aims own natural resources. and much
more will probably be done during next
winter II the war lasts as long. Some
definite plan must at once be laid down
for aroreStatlon after the war. and the
three essential things the Government at
that time must be certain about are. where
to plant, what TO plant and whether they
have got the plants to carry out the
scheme. OF these three the last comes
first.
Thu plants must he ready when the
labor released after the war Ia available,
and here a little war time discovery
OF the part of the committee IL worth
mention. They have discovered that
