FOREST NOTES

Only about two million acres Of Ma
tional Forest lands grazing by domes-
tic stock is either entirely prohibited
or is greatly restricted to provide
range for Elk.
II is estimated that in 1915 about
10000 forest fires occurred in the
United States, which burned over s.
800, 900 acres and caused damage
approximately 100000.
Revised estimates place the amount
of standing merchantable timber in
the United States at approximately g.
767 billion board feet. Of this amount
1,676 billion board feet, or SO per
cent of the total, is in California,
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana.
Dnring the past fiscal year there
were constructed on the National Fer
ests 227 miles of new road, 1875
miles of trails, 2,124 miles of tele
phone line, SO miles of fire lines, 81
lookout structures, 40 bridges, 90
miles of fence, 545 dwellings, barns
and other structures. II corrals and
202 water improvements.
Since the passage Of the act provid-
ing funds for land classification, and
as a direct result of the classification
work, total of 13.477, 7Sl acres has
been eliminated from the National
Forest. This includes an elimination
of approximately $4,000 acres of
land from the Chugach National For
est in Alaska which embraced lands
of low value for any purpose other
than mining.

The Kentuckian on JAM /, 1917, rounds out its
18th year, Under normal conditions the year 1916
would have been year of unusual prosperity, but
as the public is aware the exorbitant and unprece-

deep hole in the profits of all newspapers and many
unable to stand losses were put out of business.
The Kentuckian enters the new year with print
paper that cost S54 ton at this time last year now
costing about $40 for the same amount Of paper
not as good. How long these conditions will con-
tinue cannot be foretod.

Problems of War

There is danger OF pressing the
Economy campaign too far. il IS
highly necessary that the public should
cut out waste and make better use Of
its food supply. But the situation Will
not be helped by forcing undue econo-
mics in clothing, merchandising and
other forms OF household and various
branches of personal expenditure. In
cases where income has been reduced
such economies are called for rs mat
ter of common sense. But 1T stands TO
reason that general trade and the coun-
try's manufacturing machinery can he
badly upset by a sudden decline in the
demand for such merchandise as has
been in request for a year or more.
Tho trade outlook is full Of interest
ing problems, but with high wages and
the country's earning power probably
as great as It ever has been at this sea
son, the situation calls for careful
handling. but no drastic process Of re-
adjustment. The country has had the
war spectre before it for so long that
most people have been careful to fortify
their financial position and to sail suf-
ficiently close TO the wind TO prevent
excessive expenditures. a great war AL
ways involves heavy taxation. The
chances are that large American army
must be sent 10 France.
The exigencies of war have forced the
American people TO combine resources
and cooperate in q way which they are
likely TO remember long after the
struggle ends. All classes are working
as one man, and should the European
struggle continue much longer tho in
dications are that the spirit OF CO.
operation will extend further and bring
about unity of interests which has
never been achieved before. The lead
ing railroads are virtually in the hands
of committee of five managers, who
are serving without pay in the interests
of strengthening the country's protec-
tive measures and insuring the quick
movement of preferred traffic A whole
series of war measures is under dis
cussion at Washington.-Willam A.
Law, president the First National Bank
Of Philadelphia.

The railroads have made out a
strong case for higher pay, though
the picture which they have drawn
appears to many to be somewhat ex-
aggerated. 1t seems probable, how
ever, that they will get the Is per
cent increase asked for, or at least a
rood share of it. Meanwhile, March
reports of the earnings Of the hun
dred largest railroads in the country
show that the operating income Of
forty-four Of them was larger than
in March, 1916, while forty-one
showed gains for the three months
ended March 81 compared with the
corresponding period last year. This
despite the fact that, in addition to
other handicaps, the railroads gen.
orally had to contend with much Sc
verer weather this year than last.
1t seems probable that the operating
ratio will tend to improve hence
forth, because Of the curtailment of
Improbable passenger service, and,
what is more important, the efforts
which are being made to solve the
LESS than car loads" problem.

Monday, Nay II, f9f7

1t is relief TO know that Wash
ington officials have at last discov-
cred a fact which every one in the
financial world knew before-that
the Liberty Loan can be made an
overwhelming success only by an in
tcnsive campaign Of education.
Hereafter, instead Of giving out
glowing forecasts of oversubscrip-
ton. rhetoric will be devoted TO i'm
pressing upon the nation the i'm
pcratiye necessity Of subscribing
heavily TO the loan. IT is time that
this were done, and it is the more
necessary, because Of the clumsy
handling of the operation in the be-
ginning. The campaign of educa-
ton should have been started fort
night or more ago, and enthusiasm
should have been aroused TO the top
notch before the actual offering Of
the bonds. If that had been done
the loan undoubtedly would have
Teen oversubscribed within two or
three days at most That plan was
advocated by experts in the mer-
chandising Of securities. Instead,
tho offering was announced and sub
scriptions invited before such vital
matters as the date of maturity,
terms Of payment, etc, had been
determined. No wonder the response
was disappointing. There is still
plenty Of time TO insure the success
Of the flotation, if the campaign be
conducted properly. Fortunately,
that seems assured. In this Federal
Reserve district, as in the others,
the foremost authorities on finance
in general and the distribution of
securities in particular, are leading
the propaganda, and there can be no
doubt that, with the handicaps under
which they have been laboring re
moved, they will make the operation
a success. The various committees
which have been appointed TO take
charge Of the work have now practi-
cally completed the work of organi-
zation, and results will soon begin to
show.

Active Securities
Stocks
by The Associated Pressl

Wall Street, Nay IL.
Partial improvement was shown in
the stock market after three hours Of
dull and perfunctory trading. SO far
as surface conditions indicated any
thing at all, the change was pred
icated largely upon the oyersold po-
sition of the professional interest.
The sweeping character of some Of
the prohibition measures now before
the national legislature probably &C
counted for a decline Of IA points in
American Mailing preferred to 81.
Industrials, particularly steels,
feathers and oils, furnished much OF
the days motive power. United States
steel recorded an advance of IL
points TO ll7}s, its top price of the
fortnight. Other advances. most OF
which were retained, ranged from to
points in Bethlehem Steel old and
new shares and Cruicible, Lackawan-
ma and Gulf States Steels, the latter
being assisted by an extra" per
cent dividend.
Shippings were in fair demand at
gross advances of TO 3 points, and
Industrial Alcohol Joined the active
equipments at highest levels in the
last hour. Motors and metals were
less conspicuous than usual, but raj
lied or short covering.
Much of the depression of the fore
noon was created by st. Paul, which
made a new low record for about
twenty years on its 2-point decline to
69;s. Leading coalers and trunk lines
were carried down to 2 points with
st. Paul, but that entire division re-
bounded later
Bonds were heavy, mainly in 'conse-
quence of the lower trend for local
fractions. United States bonds were
unchanged on call

Whether stocks at their present
price levels are cheap, or whether
they are dear, is a question that in
its very nature must be left to the
individual to decide for himself.
Opinions in the financial district are
are widely divergent. Some hold
that stocks are selling at bargain
counter" prices. Others believe that
stocks ought TO go lower, in view of
the developments that are ahead.
Few of either group will be found
prepared to back their arguments
with buying or selling orders. That
is probably why the market is so
lstless. Leaving aside the curious
mixture of sentiment now prevailing
in Wall Street, the fact remains that
the dividend yields at current prices
of leading issues are unusually high
in many cases. Taking the list at
ldnuOIi, We liuu NEW IOfh ttulIdi
yielding around ia per cent; st.

Studebaker, liz; Anaconda Cop
per, 10, and Midvale Steel, 1919
United States Steel yields more than
10 per cent, figuring that the cor
roration pays dividends Of IL per
cent this year, which is a modest
estimate, in view Of the fact that the
directors have already voted divi-
dends Of more than per cent, and
IL they declare extra disbursements
at the rate Of the current quarter
