TIMBER OF U. s. CUT FOUR
 TIMES AS FAST AS GROWN

Asserting that three-ffths of the or iginal timber of the United States is gone and that we are using timber four times as fast as we grow it, Sec retary of Agriculture F.. T. Meredith, in an exhaustive report on the timber situation, prepared for the senate by the forest service in response to res olution introduced by Senator Capper in the last session, strongly empha- sizes a national program of forestry as the only permanent solution of the lumber supply problem. Eighty-one million acres of virgin forest land have been so severely cut out and burned, according to the secretary's report, that they are now an unproductive, idle waste, equal in area to the forests of Germany, Denmark, Holland, Bel gium, France, Switzerland, Spain and Portugal; and this process of devasta- ton is continuing on much of the re- maining primeval forest land.
 The depletion of timber resources is one of the most important contrib uting causes to the excessive prices of lumber now prevailing, according to the secretary's report. The exhaus- ton of local timber supplies has com pelled the shipment of lumber from long distances at high freight rates, and with inadequate shipping facili- ties.
 Although one-half of the privately owned timber of the United States, is owned by about 250 large owners, the secretary does not find that monopol- istic conditions on any general scale have grown out of this situation, but he predicts that with continued de- pleion of forests, there will be a greater and greater concentration of ownership.

ary relief. The farmers and sheep men must have permanent relief from the unfair competition of the rag pickers.
 "That billion pounds of unmanu- factured, virgin wool in the store houses, kept from the public which wants and needs it by the legal right of the manufacturers to use unidenti- fled shoddy in their all wool cloth, threatens the annihilation of the sheep and wool industry. It is to the inter- est of every voter to get behind the French-C Capper Truth in Fabric bill and see that it is enacted into law at the next session of congress. Between en- frightened public opinion and the Truth in Fabric law,.h woolen-growers may be able to recover some of this springs losses at next springs clip"
 While loaning the sheep men money to withstand the rag g-pickers' competi- ton, the United States government is doing more than any other single agency to swell the rag-pickers' in- come. In the supplement to "Com- merce Reports" issued April 20, 1920, the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, of the department of com merce, reports under the caption, "Army Garments Salvaged":
 "The number of garments received at Dewsbury (Great Britain) each week is about 100000 and the esti- mated total since the depot was estab- lished is no less than 1500OO, 900, weighing about A ,000 tons. Those that are too dilapidated for fur ther wear are classified, blended and sold as woolen rags to shoddy and cloth manufacturers to be pulled into fibre and re-made into cloth, principal ly for the civilian trade"

HIS FERvOR DAMPENED

Down in Southern Oklahoma, after the cotton crops are laid by, it is the custom of the colored population to hold big camp meetings. At one of these the minister was talking of the great joys of heaven. One of the breth- ren became very much excited and began shouting: Praise de Lawd! Praise de Lawd! How does wish I'se a June bug! I'd spread my wings and fly away to heaven"
 At this one of the sisters sprang up and said: "Why, Bruddah Nose, one O dem woodpeckers would be sho to git yo' on de way"

PLANS FOR FINANCING
 WOOL CROP ANNOUNCED

Detailed plans for financing the wool crop until normal buying conditions are resumed" have been received from Washington, the plan being the result of conference of wool growers, bank CTS and representatives of wool trade interests. The advices said the feder- al reserve board had decided that wool growers may ship wool to their usual points with drafts secured by the bill of 'lading against the recipients bank for such amount as agreed upon.

Now wait, This is not a moving
picture notice. 1t is an item about
young couple who have been living
together for nearly three months in
the belief that their association was
in the holy bonds of matrimony.
The couple obtained a marriage Ii
cense from County Clerk Dayey ON
the Sd of last December. They gave
an elaborate wedding supper to
large party of friends and next morn
ing went their way showered with
the good wishes of all who knew
them. They were not aware that a
marriage license is only permit to
marry, and failed to have the knot
tied by one authorized to solemnize
marriages.
The matter was discovered by Frank
German, county recorder, in check
ing up the licenses. This license was
missing. He wrote the parties about
it. They sent it in. The certificate
had not been filled out by anyone
authorized to perform ceremonies.
Mr.. Germain called up and wrote to
all the ministers, priests and justices
Of the peace hereabouts and ascer-
tanned than none of them had per-
formed the ceremony.
He has advised the couple as to
what steps are necessary to complete
legal union.
TIE names of the couple are not
gis- as it is not desired to cause
them any needless embarrassment.
The groom is a prominent young
sheep man of the north.

W.P. NOT BENEFITED
BY DOUBLE TRACK

An official memorandum from the
San Francisco offices of the Western
Pacific definitely settles the double
track" speculation. 1t says:
Since the latter part of 1918, the
Western Pacific and Southern Pacific
have had in effect a so-called paired
track arrangement between Winnie
mucca and Wells, under which ar
rangement, Western Pacific and
Southern Pacific trains were both run
eastbound on Western Pacific tracks
and Western Pacific and Southern Pa
cifc trains both run westbound on
Southern Pacific. This arrangement
has never been of benefit to the West
ern Pacific and on March 1st will be
discontinued. This action was de-
cided upon with the view of greater
efficiency in handling of the business
over the Western Pacific rails the
broader service to the public that will
follow the maintenance of independ-
ont stations and the restoration of
conditions of competition that existed
prior to federal control of railroads,
for which the shippers and the public
generally throughout the country
have been clamoring"

MILLIONAIRE KID
UP To TRICKS AGAIN

Harold Van Buren, bogus mill
lionaire, who cut a wide swath in
Tonopah last July when he nego-
tiated for the purchase of scores of
mines, is again up to his old tricks,
but this time he is centering his
activities in Pueblo, Colo In the
Chieftain of February IS there ap-
peared an article concerning Van
Buren having made a wager of $10,-
600 that ne must live by his own
resources for six months and that
he could not retain any one position
more than ten days.
1t will be remembered that Van
Buren, was going to buy most of the
ranches of Humboldt county when he
visited this city a few months ago.
Van Buren, recently started his
activities at FL Paso, Texas, where
he was operating a similar game.
but the Tonopah Times learned of his
whereabouts and spoiled his scheme
by wiring the FL Paso Times that he
was a bogus capitalist An expose
followed and Van Buren made haste
to leave that city, turning up on
February 8, in Pueblo.
The article appearing in the
Chieftain concerning Van Buren, is as
follows:
Claiming to be a millionaire in his
own right and forced to work for a
living is the plight in which Harold
Van Buren, of New York City, Wash
ington, Palm Beach and every fash
ionable watering place of the chosen
few finds himself, and all to win
wager of $4,000. Van Buren landed
in Pueblo last night after a long and
hard ride from Trinidad ON a local
freight, the first time in his adventure
that he has been forced to ride the
rods and he is seeking a position in
this city.
According to the terms of the
wager Van Buren, is to work and
support himself for a period of six
months without at any time drawing
on his own bank account, and to
make his side of the proposition much
harder, he is not allowed to stick
at any one Job over ten days. Van
Buren started his unique trip in
September from Los Angeles, where
the bet originated, and his six
months will end on March 22. Since
his start the millionaire workingman
has visited many parts of the coun-
try and spent one month in El Paso
before leaving for Colorado.
Van Buren, has done a little of
everything, and most of his positions
have been as chaffeur, or anything
that presented itself. He hopes to
land something in Pueblo that is a
little out of the ordinary, but as he
must work to live he says he will not
be particular. Any Puebloan who de-
sires the services of a bona-fide mill
lionaire for ten days can reach Van
Buren between ten o'clock and noon
at the Vail hotel or through this Of
fee
Van Buren came into his fortune
in 1919 on his twenty-frst birthday,
and he is not only worth a million
dollars in money, but owns many
valuable pieces of real estate in
various parts of the country He
owns home in Hartford, Conn, an
other in Washington, d. c., a magni-
ficent home on Riverside Drive in
New York City and a summer cot
tage in Palm Beach, besides several
other valuable properties.
