LARGE INCREASE SHOWN IN
NATIONAL FOREST RECEIPTS.


Denver, January 49, The largest
increase ever made in single year
Is seen in the receipts from the Ma
tiopal Forests for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1919, which were
greater by $7S3,4s4 than in the
previous twelve months. The re-
ceipts totaled s4,36S,414 says Chief
Forester II S. Graves in his annual
report just made public. To this
total the grazing business contrlbu-
ted more than SO. 10000 and the re-
lceipts from timber were somewhat
more than s1.500,0O0.
Under act of Congress, nearly a
million and ahalf dollars of National
Forest receipts were turned over TO
the various states in which the for
ests are located, for school and road
purposes, during 1919.
The Rocky Mountain District OF
the Forest Service contributed sos,
| 73s OF the total received from all
National Forests of the country. OF
this amount, receipts from the Ma
tional Forests of the six states com
prising the District were as follows:
Colorado s460,195; Wyoming s157
94S; South Dakota $67,137; Ne
braska s14,404; Minnesota S11,7T7;
and Michigan $3.50.
That the receipts from grazing
now; exceed those from timber by
more than a million dollars and
from SO percent. OF the total receipts
Is due. states the Forester, to the
fact that practically the entire for
age crop of the National Forests
can, under present conditions, be
utilized while the annual timber cut
is but an insignificant fraction of the
Forests or of the total cut of the
country.
With stockmen paying more than
two and a half million dollars annu-
use OF the National Forest ranges,
there is strong reason for the ur-
ging an increae in Government ex-
penditures to make the range more
useful to them.
The Forester points out that while
the receipts for 1919 were 175 per-
cent of those for 1915, the cost of
operating has remained practically
statinary. Some new fire funds
were appropriated but did not be-
come available until the last of July
Unless higher salaries are paid the
foresters and more money provided
for protection, the maintenance Of
an efficient organization will be
impossible.

No person in the United States

more profit out of any employ
ment than he would have made
under pre-war conditions.
do not care whether this re-
fers to the farmer, to the laborer,
to the manufacturer, to the mid
dleman or to the retailer. Every
cent taken beyond this standard
Is money extracted from the
blood and sacrifice of the Amer
lean people.
Extortionate profits are not
necessary to secure the maxi
mum effort on the part of the
American people in this war. II
we are going to adopt that the
ory, we have admitted every
thing that has been charged
against us of being the most ma
terialistic, the most avaricious,
and the most venal of people in
this world.
III we are going to admit that
The government. in order to Sc
cure the supreme effort OF its
citizens in production, must
5ribe them with money to this
exertion, we have admitted a
weakness Of American character,
OF American civilization and of
American ideals that puts us on
plane below German Kultur.
Do not mistake that l am say
ing that prices and wages should
return to the pre-war normal. be-
cause the incidence of war be-
fore we joined it had lifted our
costs of operation. and there
must be compensation in every
direction.
Nevertheless, hold that any
man who has made more than
his necessary living out of the
cost this nation is giving in the
blood of the boys we are sending
to France. should not stand out
as a benefactor to his commun-

STOCK SHOW NOTES.

the greatest ever held in Denver,
and in fact. one of the greatest ever
held west of the Missouri river. In
addition to the old exhibitors, there
will be quite a numebr of new ones
and very few old horses will be there
this year. One of the features of
the show will be a strong exhibition
of ponies, including Hackneys,
welch and Shetland ponies.
There will be nearly 400 Herefords
on exhibition in the individual clas-
ses, including the prize-winning
herds from all the big shows in the
country. The Shorthorn exhibition
is very much as straight as the Here
tords in numbers and fully equal 20
| 1t in quality.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
| increase in expenses, due to the ad-
vanced cost of everything. the ad-
mission to the show this year will
continue to be SO cents, as hereto
fore. Reserved seats at the Horse
Show can be had at so cents, 10
cents and 81. Mantinees will oe
held on Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday afternoon.
Gov. Frank O. Louden OF Illinois
has promised to visit tn Stock Show
during the week. Gogernor Lon
den is one of the big stockmen of
the country and has made awonder
full repu - as govern. : during
during the past two yars. He will
probably be the guest of the show
association on Thursday and Frid4y
of Show week The fact that he
is being actively pushed for tie
nomination. of president of the
United States makes him a person.
ality of more than usual interest.
Two six-horse teams made up of
Shetland ponies will be one of tue
features of the Horse Show. These
teams are equipped exactly similar
the teams of big Percheron shorses
that have heretofore been seen at
the Show. They will attract much
interest from grown-ups as well as
the little ones.
The Swine exhibition in the breed
ing classes will contain about COO
of the finest hogs to be found in this
Jersey, Poland China and Hamp-
shire breedes.
There are 115 loads of feeder cat
tie entered and these will contain
some of the choicest feeder cattle to
be found in the West. In the breed
ing carloads there will be 46 car
loads of bulls, all registered, and 19I
carloads of registered heifers. No
other show in the world can make
such showing.
Not only is the question of fin
ding room for the exhibits one that
Is making difficulty, but the indica-
tions are that Denver will be called
upon to take care of the greatest
crowd ever assembled in that CITY.
The Denver Tourist Bureau has un-
dertaken the task of listing all of
lhe Hotei roOiHS ana private rooms
in the city,. and visitors will be di-
rected to lodging places when they
arrive, either through the office of
the bureau at the Union station or
from the uptown office at sos 18th
street Manager Burhans prom
ises that he will have room or beds
for all who apply and while the ho-
tells will insist on two in a bed. the
prices charged will only be the same
as usual except that room for
which SO is normally charged is ex-
pected to produce s4 for two persons
Denver is thoroughly awake to the
situation and everything possible
will be done to take care of the
thousands who are coming in a com

unable to secure rooms in their reg
