Concentra tion of timber lands in the United States in the hands of a few owners is discussed at length in the second and third ; parts of the report of the bureau of corporations on the lumber industry, submitted to- President Wil son today by Commissioner Davies. r Two ,men hold forty-nine per cent, of the timber in southwestern Wash ington, the report says; five men hold thirty-six per cent, in western Ore gon; six have seventy per cent, in northeastern California; ten have more than half in the redwood area, and in north central Idaho four hold ers have fifty per cent. "The "control of our standing tim ber in a comparatively few enormous holdings, speculatively held far in ad vance of any use thereof, and the great increase in the value of timber, resulting in part from such specula tive holding, are underlying facts that will become more and more important elements in determining the price of lumber as the supply of timber dimin ishes," says the report. ; 1,694 Timber Owners. "The main fact shown is that 1,694 timber owners hold ' in fee over one twentieth of .the land , area of the entire United .States, from the Cana dian to' the. Mexican ' border. In many states these 1,694 own no lands at all. In the 900 timbered counties investigated they own one-seventh of the area. ' "These 1,694 holders own 105,600,- 000 acres. This is an area four-fifths the.; size of France; or greater than the entire state of .California;, or more than two and one-half times the land area of the six New England states, v Sixteen holders own 47,800, 000 acres, or nearly", ten times the land area of New Jersey. Three land grant railroads" own enough to give fifteen acres to everyr male of voting age in the nine Western states where almost all their holdings lie. "Not all this land is suitable for agriculture.' In the south and in the lake states and in part of the west a large portion, 'of it can be used for agriculture after the timber is re moved; but in many parts of the west the land! is mountainous and adapted chiefly to reforestation. Much of the railroad-owned land out side the timber regions is arid or semi -arid. "In the upper peninsula of Michi gan forty-five per cent, of the land' is held, mostly in fee, by thirty-two timber .owners. ,In Florida fifty-two holders (mostly timber owners) hold one-third of the land - In the - entire state.' i: ;:v i;,;;;;7.

STOMACH, KIDNEY. AND CHRONIC AILMENTS. Office and laboratory, ail Main Street. Worcester, Mass. background of the concentration of land and timber ownership shown in this report. A study or the present ownership of 7,370,000 . acres of rail road, wagon-road and canal grant lands, covering most of the ' granted lands in the map area, and a little e.lsewhere, shows that of these par ticular lands, granted long ago . to single corporations apparently with the idea that they would be quickly sold to settlers, only fifteen per cent, are now distributed in small holdings. Eighty-five per cent, are owned by the grantees or their successors, or by large timber . holders. Of 82,500,000 acres granted to three western rail roads in the sixties, the roads still re tained ' forty - per, cent, in 1 9 0. -"Moreover: .the states appear to have disposed of the various federal grants made - to them in such a way as to contribute to the concentration of land and' timber" ownership. Flor ida is , a striking example of this. Again, the public land laws, the cash sale, law (now repealed), the scrip laws, and the homesttead and .timber and stone laws operated, at least In timber regions, to transfer govern ment : lands directly or almost direct ly to great holders. Acquired in Wholesale Manner. "Ninety-eight per cent, of the 1,500, 000 acres comprised in the largest timber holding in the lake, states was acquired '.in a . wholesale manner, chiefly from tracts disposed of by the government through grants to the state or under the scrip and the cash sale laws. "This marked concentration in the ownership of land has two , important aspects. The first is the concentra tion ,t of control of the natural re sources, other thari agricultural; in. the area comprised ,in these great holdings. Besides Its 'timber now standing, part of the land must be depended on, together with the na tional forests, to supply' future crops of timber. Furthermore, some of it has valuable resources of ores, oil, gas', water power, etc. . Land to Have Higher. Value. '!-'... . . s "The second is the possibility that these holdings, which will form a considerable portion of the future area used for ., agriculture in this country, may be retained under con centrated control. Formerly lum bermen often got .rid of their cut over land at nominal prices or let it go for taxes. But as the agricultural possibilities of such land have be come apparent this policy, is being abandoned. A large part of the pres ent cut-over land is now of consider able value for tillage. That part of the present timber land which when denuded will be arable, will have a higher and higher value as land the longer the timber is kept uncut; be cause if the timber is held for many years the land when finally denuded will be in greater demand for agri culture. Such a condition suggests the following potential effects upon the public: High prices for land sold to settlers, increase of the ten antry system, or direct farming by large corporations. Data Not Sufficient. "The data obtained by the bureau, so far as land is concerned, are not sufficient for a study of the land prob lem as a whole. They cover only one class of owners, the timbermen, and only part of the country. They show conditions only at the time of the in vestigation, and do not show whether the concentration is increasing or de creasing. They are not typical , of present conditions in agricultural communities, where the average size of holdings is, of course, much smaller. Though incomplete, these data are, nevertheless, suggestive and worthy of serious consideration. "Most of the land grants were made on conditions, and it appears that in many cases not all of the con- ; A Remarkab.e m. to 6:00 p. m.

"The abuse of the general - land laws in the past suggests that any lands restored to the public domain by these, or other, forfeiture suits should not be disposed of under the present land laws. To allow such lands to be taken . up by . private parties ' before the ' revision ' of' the public land laws has been completed would be to lose much of the public benefits from, their recovery." OLD TIME MINSTREL DEAD. Billy Baxter Was Qreat Favorite ' for His Old "Darky" Songs. . Chicago, July 1 3.- Billy Baxter, old time minstrel, who had played with nearly all' of the leading minstrel companies of America and who had appeared before the royalty of Europe, with his banjo, died in. a hospital here last night of cirrhosis of the liver. Born in Cincinnati in 1861 he turned early to the stage where his musical talent soon won him a place among the stars of ministrelsy. He made several tours of the world and .'on many occasions rulers of Europe "re quested him to play and sing the old "Darky" songs. A few years ago he retired from the stage. He will be buried under the auspices of the Chicago Press dub tomorrow. ' BROUGHT INTO PORT. Havre, France, July 13.
