WASHINCTCN, Jan. t3.-Tha Unit ed States Forestry Service ccntrlhu. os the rather startling information that including burned and cut.Over areas which are not abandoned, but which once grew timber, one-third of the soil
 of the United States is forest land, and that threc-fourths of this lies in the Mississippi Valley eastward to the Atlantic Coast, in those states which are commonly believed to have a min imum of forest land. The data shows that over 40 per cent of NgW York and Pennsylvania and 75 per cent of Maine and New Hampshire is forest land, which is not cultivated On tHe other hand it is not utilized for the scientific growth of timber, it being abandoned and largely covered with underbrush. A graat bit of it is soil W which is not suitable for agricultural purposes. The Forestry Service makes the sug@ st0n that if this nOn-tilIab'e land were devoted to growing timber it would ba but a comparatively short time until our national requirements for forest products would be supplied and much land which is now held of no value in the eastern section of the country would be very valuable.

BITTER I''EsIjD
 COPPER CAMP
 ENDS IN SUIT

'. BUTTE, Jan. 18.-Suit for recovery of $4,0O0O0O by the Anaconda Copper Company from the Davis Daly Copper Company, which will go on trial here early. this year, is an echo-possibly the last echo-of half century of the most bitter mine war ever waged in the West.
 The mountain of copper 0h the side of which Butte CIngs like the nest of a gigantic eagle on the ledge of a cliff is the tomb of more miners who have met with sudden and violent deaths than any mining area in the same size in the world. But this scarlet history was writ ten in the days when Butte was Butte, the only thing of it's kind in existence, when nearly every other door downtown opened into a gam bling house and those in between were entrances to dance halls, sa- looms and all-night restaurants-the Butte that inspired Mary McLane's startliugIy personal story of Me, Mary McLane."
 Butte has been tanned.
 w. A. Clark was copper king of Montana and father of Butte before he bought an artificial ear and be- came United States Senator. Clark had near-monopoly on the noun tain of rich copper ore for a tune after it's discovery, With little at .ention to the latest and improved mining methods, Clark Wrested seV- eral millions from the earth by slm- oly driving shafts until he struck pay dirt-or pay rock--then following the orc either way, crooked and straight, as long as it held out. One vein exhausted, he would shift to others.
 F, Augustus Heinze, young min inv enaipeer, cut in on the Clark monopoly by finding the apex o1 the lode and starting to follow it "acc0rding to Hoyle," whether the vein crossed the drifts of the "cop- per king" or not
 Butte's mining war was on Wh9N ueinzo crossed Clarks path for the first time under ground.
 Round one was fought i'll the courts, with nothing settled. Ihe differences then became per5ohal De tween the rival operators and were quickly taken up by the mlnerS +honen,ves and carried on for almost half a century.
 Most of the original actors dled' One faction sold out to the Daily ln- forests. The war "petered out pNe the richest of the copper veins.
 With the bringing of the Anaconua vs Dalv suit old-ttmers are asking if ancient hostilities are to reopen on a grand scale.
 They cant.
 Butte has climbed on the water wagon, with the rest of America. In spirational ammunition is scarce Personalities have been forgotten Employes of the Daly company live peaceably next door to miners Of the Anaconda, and neither cares what the other fellows big boss does-so long as pay envelopes contain their contractual amounts.
