TIMBER DEI
WITH COMPANY IN
SAN FRANCISCO
FEET SOLD
To the Hifches Bidder After Be
ing Advertised for Six Months
Prior to Being; Awarded.
Chief Forester Graves is on his way
to Han Francisco to make final ar
rangements under which a California
lumber company will purchase 800
million feet of lumber on the Sierra
national forest. The timber has al
ready been awarded, after public ad
vertisement, to the highest bidder, but
under the terms of the advertisement
the final signing of the contract will
not take place until the company bus
. been shown on the ground what tim
ber the govornment will reserve from
cutting in order to preserve good ft rest
conditions and provide for reproduc
tion. The company will be allowed its full
800 million feet, but naturally it will
not be allowed to cut clean. As a rule
the forest Ferviee reserves reserves
something like one-third of the forest
stand In applying forestry on govern'
ment holdings. A marking board
made up of one man sent from Wash
ington, one from the district office in
Ban Francisco, and the local forest su
pervisor will carefully mark a sample
area, to show how the restrictions on
cutting will be applied. Representa
tives of the company will then go over
this area, after which Chief Forestor
Graves and bis assistants will, it is ex
pected, make final arrangements will
the company in Ban Francisco, and
the contract of Bale will be signed.
"The forest service," said Mr. Graves
In speaking of this sale, "has received
a number f inquires whether in selling
so much timber a to single purchnser
the government may not be opening
the wav to a monopolistic control of
locat lumber markets. Other corres
pondents are. disturbed lest the sale
prove i bad bargain for the govern
ment through the rise in value of the
limber in the twenty-two years during
which the company will cut.
"Such large and long-time, sales of
national forest timlier as that to the
California company are a new develop
in the forest service. Great bodies of
mature but inaccessible timber can be
put on the market only if sale con
tracts are let on terms which will jus
tify a very heavy initial Investment in
transportation facilities. In entering
into such contracts, however, special
safeguards to protect the public againt-t
monopoly and to prevent an undue
speculative .profit to the purchaser
are employed.
"Tlia national forests contain, in all,
the equivalent of nearly GOO billion
feet of limber now of merchantable
size, besides young growth for future
harvest. Hecause of its remoteness
from market and the wild mouutain
ous country, without transportation
facilities, In which most of it lies, only
a small percentage can now be sold on
any terms. Most of it would cost more
to get it out than it would bring. The
sale of less than one-fifth of one per!
(Are We Justified?!
Perhaps we ought to be satis
fied with present achievement.
But, you know "the more a man
gets the more he wants." This
being true, we are then justified
in soliciting new business; and
especially so, since we are so
well equipped to handle it.

cent, of ourtoial supply to one com
pany leaves plenty of room for com
petition by other companies.
"The timber which has been sold to
the California company lies well back
in the Sierra Nevada mountains and
will require the construction of seven
ty miles of standard gauge railroad to
open up the area. Since this road will
also oien ud other national limber
and will be a common carrier, it creates
i another safeguard against monopoly.
I The company is given a cutting period
of twentv-two years to remove the
i timber, besides mi additional two years
for the construction of losing and
manufacturing facilities. The sale was
Dubliclv advertised for six months in
order ti give an opportunity for all
who wished to compete lortlie con
tract to make bids, as is done in all
large national forest sales.
"No business organization . would
undertake the heavy investment neces-
sary in such cases, unless the handling
of a large body of limber and a suffl
cient period in which to remove it un
der practicable lodging conditions are
assured. The greatest difficulty in
making such long-term sales is toes
lalish a price that will be fair to both
sides. No one can foresee future con
ditions well nnough to know what
stum page will be worth ,ten, fifteen or
twenty years hence.
"Consequently the terms of sale pro
vide for the readjustment of stumpage
prices every five years. The basis for
fixing the prices will be, in each case,
the prices of manufactured lu obej in
the markets where the timber is sold
during the preceding two years.
"For several years the forest service
has been selling in the neighborhood
of a million dollars worth of national
forest stumpage per year, but this
combined with whut is cut for free use
is nly about one-eight of what might
bi cut without reducing the permsn
ent stock of the firwts. The supply
will be kept up through growth. By
making long-term kales it will be
possible greatly to increase the amount
available for present needs of the Urn
berconsnming public, without endan
gering future supplies through over
cutting. It will always remain true,
however, that vastly the greater part
of our timber sales will be to small
purchasers, who are favored wherever
possible. Monopoly is impossible us
long as the door is kept open for such
purchasers. Out of over 5.600 sales
made in the fiscal year 1911, about
forty were for over 55,00; worth of
timber to a single purchaser.

This department grew out of the
work undertaken by the Southern and
allied lines two years ego in the terri
tory threatened by the boll weevil in
Alabama and Mississippi. It was found
that in aiding the farmers to fight the
weevil, greatly increased yields per
acre were secured and successful was
the result considered, that President
Finley decided to extend the work to
the entire territory covered by the
Southern railway, the Georgia and
Florida railway, the Mobile and Ohio
railroad, the Alabama Great Southern
railroad, the Cincinnati, New Orleons
and Texas Pacific railway and the
.smaller lines which make up the
Southern system. The field agents of
this department will work personally
with farmers to whom their services
are without coat of any kind. In carry
ing on its woik, the Hsulhern's de
partment will cooperate closely with
the United States department of agri
culture, the various state agricultural
departments and agricultural colleges.
The work of the department is under
the direction of Mr. T. O. Plunkett,
manager, who will have headquarters
in Atlanta, and report to President
Finley through Mr. J. C. William?,
assistant to president at Washington

TOLD IN THE HILLS
A low rail fence surrounded the cabin
on three sides. The fourth side was
protected by a high cliir which jutted
out from it tali mountain. Nothing but
the wind and rain could get in en this
side. A stranger stopped In front of
the door. One of the rails with the
bark side up had been worn slick from
crossing. This is bow the stranger
knew when he reached the gate. He
had tramped some distance, ana naa
not found a spring, and was wanting
water. On the puncheon floored porch
in front of the house sat an old moun
taineer. Behide him was a shotgun of
the old style, with tremendous bore.
Longhandled gourds swung from their
native vine, which ciung aooui me
end of the porch on sticks and pins,
which had been arranged tor its sup
port On a carefully threaded vine on
one of the rude posts climbed a pome
granate vine, its sweet smelling fruit
mingling oder with the smell of gun
powder. Ths old man had been shoot
ing. -
I "Can I have a drink?" asked the
stranger from the fence, the sight of
the gun and the fact that he might be
mistaken for a "revenuer" causing him
to wish that he was a thousand miles
from that scene at that particular time.
- "Von air mighty whistlin'. Come
right in," replied the old man.
"My name is Matson," said the
stranger as he stepped upon the porch.
"I am a civil engineer. They call me
Colonel over in Johnson City. I have
been doing a little. work ovor in the
mica regions."
"Glad to meet ye, Mr. Malison," re
plied the old mountaineer, getting up
from his split-bottom chair and shak
ing the stranger's hand. "My name is
Jim Wilson; I live here; that's all.
The old man went into the house,
but left the gun sitting on the poarch
This was some relief to the engineer.
'Ez ye didn't say as whether hit war
water or licker ye wanted, stranger, I
fetched ye both," said the old man, as
he came from the cabin with a gourd
full of water in one hand and a small
tin cup full of mountain dew in the
other.
"Well, since you have brought both,"
said Col. Matson, "I will take a little
of both."
The old man took nothing himself,
and in a moment seated himself on the
corner of the porch and looked up at
thecleared pieceof ground which stood
almost on edge in front of his house,
After some conversation as to the
mica industry, the old man picked up
his gun, and leveling it toward the
cleard ground in front of the cabin
pulled the trigger. There was a sort of
dull explosion. He walked back into
the cabin and, reloading the gun, sat
it back in its p!acQ and brought out
the tin cup and goard again.
The stranger partook as usual, but
the old man took a small taste of the
water from the gourd. He seated him
self and bit off a chew of tobacco from
a home-made twist. Then he picked up
the gun and leveled it at the hillside
and fired again. The stranger watched
very closely, but could not discover
anything to be shooting at. Still, not
wishing to appear as a tenderfoot, he
said nothing. The old man went
through this same maneuver a dozen
times, and about as often got the gourd
and tin cup for the f-tranger.
Finley, after being burned up with
curiosity, the stranger could stand it
no longer. '
"Mr. Wilson," he said, almost fear
ing to run counter of some dangerous
insane streak, "if yon will tell me what
you are shooting at I will be g ing on
down the mountain."
"Wall, I'll be goldinged! Ye suttinly
air a stranger in these parts. I am
sowing my wheat. Thet gun is load
ed with wheat. 1 he ground is so steep
I find I kin shoot it in easier then to
try to climb over hit."
"Well, how novel!" exclaimed the
stranger, beginning to feel refreshed
from the frequent appearances of the
tin cup and gourd. '
"Yas, I 'i-pise ye might call hit thet,
but it's purty tough on me this year."
"How is that?" asked the stranger.
"Wall, ye see it takes me about four
days purty constant Rhootin' to sow
thet field an' I d assent tiike a drink
while I'm seed in'.
"Is that true?" said the stranger in
surprise, remembering that the old man
had not taken any while he had been
his guest.
"Yas, Inst fall I nndertuck to drink
and sow wheat, too, and by golly Tgot
trunk and overlooked danged near half
acre. Never mot a gram in rut."

While no way has yet been found to make
life perpetual, it is a fact that life can be
prolonged. Many people die before their
time because the organs become clogged and
can not do their woik. To keep their body
open, active and free from impurities there
must be no constipation, dyspepsia, flatu

"It is being freely circulated by my

and they are even going so far as to
say that I am for Patterson. Now as
to these charges they are absolutely
false and without the remotest founda
tion for truth and fact. In regard to
my stand on the temperance and elec

myself clear on these points In my
speech on the day I was nominated,
but in order to make it so that I can
De more clearly understood and make
it positive so that there can be no mis
understanding, and so my friends ns
well as my enemies can tell exactly
where I stand "on these questions, I d
now positively state that I am for the

and when I was in the legislature the
last time, I voted to put both these
laws on the statue books of our state.
tr 1 am re-eietert 1 will do all I can to
keep them on our stature books. Now
as to my temperance record it will
compare most favorably with that of
some of my opponents and enemies
who are denouncing me as a liquor
man. I am no drunkard and do not
use whiskey at all. I am a temper

the candidacy one W. Z. Harshbarger,

cords with me as to my loyalty to my
party, or as to my temperance habits,
"My nomination for representative
of Washington connty was and is as
fair and regular as the nomination of
Governor Ben W. Hooper and no one
questions the regularity of his nomi
nation. As to these other double

and all over the United States I take
t that those gentlemen will be able to
take care of themselves. I am for the

will stand for a bill to this eflect and
any improvements that the majority

Washington, Hept. 21. Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, former chief chemist of the
department of agriculture, will go on
the stump in the west the latter
part of next week in behalf of Wilson
and Marshall.
Dr. Wiley has just returned from
New York, where he conferred with
managers at democratic headquarters.
He contributed 5300 to the campaign
fund, and announced that the expen
ses of his speaking tour will come out
of his own pocket, so great is his in
terest in the success of the national
democratic ticket.
Dr. Wiley has always been a repub
lican, and so was his father. He says,
that pure food laws were not properly
enforced during Roosevelt's adminis
tration nor are they being enforced by
the Taft administration. He believes
Wilson and Marshall will be elected,
and he will do all in his power to
bring about that result.
The former chief chemist is a for

freely made he will draw large au

Few, if any, medicines, have met with
the uniform success that has attended the
