Timber Given to
Improve Forests

SAN FRANCISC, March IA
Nearly three million board feet of
timber from the nat>onal forests of
California was give away by the
government to over 1000 persons
during the calendar year 1922, ac-
eording to District Forester p. G.
Redington.
This free timber was furnished to
bona fide settlers, miners and pros
pectors, for firewood, fencing, build
ing, mining, prospecting and domes-
tic uses. The material consisted
largely of dead, diseased and insect
infested timber, and small trees re-
moved in thinning,which have little
commercial value. The removal of
these classes of material is of benefit
to the forest, since dead timber ere
at es a considerable fire hazard, and
the timber removed in thinning
makes it possible for the remaining
trees to make more rapid growth.
In addition to timber removed
from the national forests under
"free use," over two million feet,
with value of 1850, was sold
during the year to farmers and set.
tiers for use on homesteads or farms,
at the rate of rs cents per thousand
feet, or % cents per cord. This ma
terial was disposed of under author
ity given by federal statute which
provides for the disposal of timber

Weed & Laing, owners Of 1900
acres of land in Lower California,
near Algodones, arc cooperating
with the Globe Cotton Oil mill in
building a $4,000 volt power line at
Il cost of over $l2,000.00, to extend
electric service to their pumping
plants located along the main canal
of the Imperial Irrigation District
in Mexico. They have installed 225
horserowerin motors, consisting of
three rs horse power units belted to
SO inch pumps. This installation
replaces three Western gas engines
which were installed at their plant
two years ago.
Must Use Pump
The land owned by Weed g. Laing
is slightly higher than the canals of
the Irrigation District, and it is
Necessary that water be pumped 10
this higher ground. Mr.. Laing stat
ed that he had a firm belief in the
future possibilities of Lower Cali
fornia, and that his company is
proving this by tho extensive i'm
provements now being made. This
land was planted to cotton last year
and Mr.. Laing expects to secure a
good stand of volunteer cotton this
year.
The Globe Cotton Oil Mills have,
at the present xime, 41,000 acres of
land in Lower California, of which
they expect to pant 14,000 acres in
cotton this year, and to have the
entire 1900 acres under cultiva-
tion within few years.
The Globe people are installing at
theirplant, situated ON the Lee Lit
tie Canal, two 100 horse power,

They become sluggish and weakened,
then you may suffer with dull
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, ton
que is coated, and when the wealth
er is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine gets cloudy,
full of sediment, the channels Of
ron get sore and irritated, oblig
times during the night
To help neutralize these irritating
acids, to help cleanse the Kidneys
and flush off the bcdy's, urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here; take a
tablespoonful in "a glass of water
before breakfast, for few days,
and your kidneys may then act fine.

Fires in Forests
Do Great Damage

SAN FRANCISCO, March IA
Fires in the National Forests of
California, during the 10-year per-
iod 1920, burned over 100000 acres
and caused nearly four million dol
lars damage, according to S. B.
Show and E. I. Kotok of the San
Francisco headquarters of the For
est Service, in a circular just issued
by the Department of Agriculture.
The report Of these forest experts
is based on study Of more than
10000 fires, most Of which were
man caused. Data compiled ON such
an exhaustive analysis of fires by
causes, size, damage, cost, location,
season and other relating factors,
and the drawing Of conclusions as
to the best methods Of preventing
and fighting fires, will prove inter
esting and helpful to everyone con-
nected with forest protection, not
only in California but elsewhere, es-
pecially throughout the West. 1t
contains valuable information as to
the various theories and principles
that have been tested out both in
patrol, and actual suppression, lead
ing to selection Of means and
methods that have proven most eff
fectlve.
