NATIONAL FORESTS
TO SUPPLY WOOD FUEL

To meet any possible coal shortage
sive use of fuel wood from the ma
tional forests is urged by the govern
ments foresters, who are advising
both ranchers and town jewellers to be
forehand in making arrangements for
the supply of their fuel needs.
The supervisors of the l53 national
forests will be instructed to afford all
possible facilities to local residents
wishing to obtain cordwood, which set
tiers may obtain free for their home
use and which is sold at low rates to
persons cutting and hauling in order
TO sell TO others. Since the material
thus utilized is mainly dead timber, its
removal, it is explained, helps clear
up the forest and thus lessons the fire
menace. Timber which is insect.in.
fected, or old and deteriorating, or
otherwise damaged or undesirable
from the forester's standpoint, is also
disposed of for fuel purposes. The de-
mand in the next twelve months is eX-
Dected to break all records.
There is possibility OF a coal short
age because of the increased demand
for coal by industrial plants and the
lack of sufficient means of transporta
| ton. II is believed that it will he
quite feasible and economical for
many western communities to utilize
an increased quantity of national for
est wood for fuel next winter. When
| dead and down timber or other timber
which is deteriorating is not available
for cordwood, the cutting of mature
living trees will be permitted to the
extent necessary to meet demands.
While wood as fuel is less econom
ical to handle and use than coal, II
is in many parts of the west cheaper
even at normal price levels. Stoves
and furnaces, however, equipped T.
burn coal. usually require different
CRATES to permit of the substitution tC
advantage, and this is pointed out a.
one reason why the householder vii
do well to look ahead and decide be
forehand how he will keep warn
and what he will feed the. kitchen
stove next winter.
/. Where sawmilIs are operating In
the woods at points within hauling
distance of towns, there is a chance
to obtain slabs and other material tina
ordinarily goes to waste. Since greer
or wet wood Is both poorer fuel ant
heavier to transport and handle thar
dry wood, mill waste as IL comes from
the saw is relatively undesirable 70
immediate use. For this reason as wei
as in order to be use of supply. tn

A. GRANT MILLER
WlTHDRAWS FROM PARTY


Hon. A. Grant Mfgey, p~.ndinent at
torney OF Reno and heretofore leader
OF the Socialist party of Nevada. has
sent out the following communication
to the press Of the state:
September I, 1917.
ITO the State Executive Committee.
Socialist Party OF Nevada:
After long and careful considera-
ton have concluded that must with
draw from the Socialist party, and. |
Of course. resign from the state exc
cutiye committee. Inasmuch as the
position taken by the national party Is
seemingly fixed one on the question
OF the world war and cannot support
II. the only honorable course for me Is
to withdraw.
at seems to me that the party has
failed to conceive broad, consistent.
constructive and correct view of the
great world cataclysm. The war had
to come because of the irrepressible
conflict between the militarist autoc-
racies Of Central Europe and the grow
ing world spirit of democracy. Sara
jeyo was only the necessary pretext.
The German conception OF the state,
of organized society for the upbuilding
OF the state, of the individual as mere
ly existent for the state. is repugnant
to all the ideals of civilization, and II
the German idea should be successful
In the war and carried out it would
mean the most degrading subsection Of
all that is best in mankind to the mere
upbuilding OF state power; not only in
Germany, but in other nations as well
As view it, the success of Germany
means the triumph OF autocracy to
such a degree that the emancipation Of
the working and producing class would
be set back fifty years at least.
History reveals that the struggle
between the reactionary autocracies
and the progressive democracies has
never ceased and the present war is
only one phase of that struggle. 1t is
sad reflection on the intellect OF the
race that these great questions have
to be settled by the sword, but since
war is on let It be pushed to a con-
clusion, that will settle the question
for while at least. A German peace
will be victory for the German idea
of the state, that would be a disaster.
am intensely opposed to war, but
when war comes and there Is a great
principle at stake, am not in favor OF
drawn battle. Wars are usually
brought on by apparently insufficient
causes. by coteries of politicians, by
the avarice OF the profittakers, by
petty jealousies, but the real causes
are at work and are understood years
later. The nations grope In the dark
toward the light OF real liberty and
justice: but however tortuous and
costly, the road leads to the light OF
true appreciation of human brother
hood.
Feeling as I do I am compelled to
withdraw from the party. do so with
great regret as I have been an active
member for seventeen years and hav,
given my best to the cause. No per
sonal reasons move me and shall de
vote myself to the elimination of thos,
great abuses which admittedly exist il

same spirit as in the past so far az m!

SHOES STOLEN.
Three Pairs Taken from store Of BOyn-
ton 4 Gran.

Three Pairs Taken from store Of Boyn-
ton 4 Gran.
The shoe store Of Boynton 4 Cram on
Church street was entered some time dur
ing Tuesday night. the burglary being
discovered after the store had been
opened yesterday morning. when 1t was
found that a back window had been
broken and investigation OF the stock OF
the store showed that three pairs Of nen's
shoes had been taken. The gratings In
front OF the stores Of Louis Pine and A. f.
Sherwin were found to have been moved
slightly yesterday morning. but this may
have been the work OF small boys. who
may have seen something beneath the
crate and attempted to gst It out. a. Ia
officer who found the gratinss reported
to the owners. but entrance had not been
made to either store.
The break at the shoe store. however.
was done quite systematically. The upper
half Of the window was broken so that
one could put finger through and throw
the window latch and then easily push
|up the lower sash. After entrance the
burglar evidently closed the window
within an inch of the bottom and pulled
down the curtain. The cash register was
left open and contained no money. The
Shoes one pair of high ones, and two
pairs Of low ones. were taken from boxes
In stock which we're then pushed back
into their places.
Just what time of night the break was
made Is not known. Onicer Brodie. on
his rounds, found the back door Of the
store unlocked. Mr.. Boynton was called
and instructed the ofiicer to lock the back
door. leaving the key on the inside. and
| go out OF the front door. which has q
spring lock. This was done. the officer
noticing no signs Of one having been in
! the store. Later. Mr.. Boynton visited
the store and saw nothing WRONG. all ap-
pearing to be as 1t had been left at the
close OF the days business at six O'Clock.
Yesterday morning. when one of the
clerks raised the curtain over the back
window. he found that the window was
not tightly closed. He also missed arti-
cies which had been left on the sill and
which had been taken by the burglar and
laid In the yard Just outside the window
The theft was Immediately reported to
the police.
One Of the pairs of shoes was found
yesterday. having been sold about moor
to Harry Simmons. who drives q baker,
wagon. Simmons bought them for dol
lar from two young fellows ON the Lower
road. The youths had tried to sell thu
shoes to others without success. Sim
mons In turn sold them at the store O.

New York. April 3s.-Coal men estimate
that the wage increase granted to $1,000
miners in the anthracite fields will raise
the retail price Of hard coal an average
Of sixty cents ton. The agreement
signed last night by representatives OF the
operators and the United Mine Workers
Of America adds approximately $D,oooM
a year to the miners wages and is the
largest increase awarded in the history
OF the anthracite industry.
The advance averages 30 per cent.
virtually the same as that recently re-
ceived by the 3d. 900 workers in the
bituminous fields. The agreement remains
in effect until April l, 1918.
The miners ask for higher wages to
meet the rising cost of living and the
operators granted the increases volun-
