Captain Strickland he wanted per-

The police officer listened to the

the permit. But he had 'em. and
knew that an alcohol bath would be

FIGHT IS ON

In recent issue OF the Congress
sional Record there was published a
Hst Of kilograms received by 6
California congressman urging ma
honal prohibition. A remarkable
thing about this list of protests IL
that the strongest pleas for prohi-
bition as well as the greatest num-
Der, come from wet states. The
natural explanation. we think. is
that In dry states. friends Of prohi-
bition consider their work done, and
In wet states the fight is raging.
There is not the slightest doubt
but that every dry state in the union
will promptly ratify the prohibition
amendment to the federal constitu-
tion, and. with the right kind Of
q campaign, enough of the states
now dry will follow suit to put the
amendment ino effect.
A legitimate excuse has been urg-
ed against local prohibition in some
Of the states in that neighboring
states we're wet and business"
would be diverted from home ter
ritory to across state lines. This
argument no longer obtains in re-
spect to national enactment.

FOREST LANDS OPENED
TO HOMESTEAD ENTRY
Work of Classifying National
Forest Areas IS
Completed.
FORMER APPLICANTS
Applications Made for Agri-
cultural Tracts Within Dis
trict Considered First.

The work OF classifying the national
forest lands of district No II for the
purpose of determining what areas
shall be permanently held for national
forest purposes and what areas may
be made subject to settlement and
entry under the homestead law, has
been completed. This was a large I'M
on account of the desrability of maxi
ing all land available to settlers at the
earliest possible date, the work has
been pushed energetically in order to
facilitate the development of the agri-
cultural resources of the country as
much as possible.
Lands Listed.
Tracts that were applied for under
the forest homestead act of June II,
1906. which have been found chiefly
valuable for agriculture. have been
listed, or will be listed for opening to
settlement and entry, with a prefer
ence right of entry reserved to the
original applicant for a period of 60
days after the notice Of opening is
published. Lands which have been
found to be. chiefly. valuable for agri-
culture. but for which no application
was made previous to classification
will be listed as opened to entry by
any qualified homesteader. Areas
which have real value for agriculture.
but which at present are chiefly valu-
able for the timber growing on them.
will be held for national forest pur-
poses until the timber is removed and
then opened to settlement without
preference.
Future Timber Production.
1t is expected that the forest serv-
Ice will engage aggressively in the
acquisition of privately owned cut
over lands which are chiefly valuable
for national forest purposes. While it
is not likely that the outright purchase
of these lands will be authorized, for
est officials say that this fact will not
deter them from making a strong eff
fort to effect exchanges. There are
now immense areas within and near
the national forests which have in var
ious ways passed into private owner
ship. but which are ultimately valuable
only for the production of timber.
They are scattered throughout the
rougher. non agricultural regions and
were taken by private holders simply
ON account of the heavy timber found
there. When the timber is cut the
lands are practically valueless to the
owners, being, in fact, unproductive
properties carrying with them a steady
expense due to taxation. The govern
by such lands shall be restored to
the forest service for a reasonable
compensation, and devoted to timber
production.
