Bandits Get $16,000 in Great
Northern Hold-up
TRACED BACK TO SPOKANE

Passengers Hotel at Noted Re
: sort Destroyed.
Special to the Evening Review.
SPOKANE. Wash.. Dec. 10.
Three masked bandits held up a
Great Northern train near Hlllyard
last night and secured from the reg
istered mail pouches booty estimated
at 16,000. A sheriff's posse traced
the bandits back to Spokane, but no
further trace of them was discovered.
The government and the Great
Northern -have offered a Joint reward
of 6000 for the arrest and convic
tion of the robbers. Local post
offlce authorities refuse to verify the
report of the amount of booty se
cured. They believe that the Job
was done by the same men who held
up a Northern Pacific Itrnln near
Trent, Wash., on Aug. 14.
That the bandits are ex-convicts
who planned to loot the Oriental
Limited on the night of December 2
is the opinion of a Walla Walla peni
tentiary guard, who saw the trio on a
Seattle street two days ago. The
bandits stopped the train .and, climb
ing into the cab of the engine,, or
dered the fireman to uncouple the
express car, which contained a ship
ment of $20,000 from Spokane. The
firemen failed to obey instructions,
and the bandits rode away with the
engine and two mail cars. After pro
flceedlnc a short distance, the robbers
brought the engine to a stop and then
rifled the registered mail.

Kenzle, last night. Six coaches over
turned when the train was runulng
at the rate of 30 miles an hour.
Spreading rails are said to have been
the cause.

WASHINGTON, I). C, Doc. 10.
The first rig u res of the Inventory of
the forests of the United States which
the National Conservation Commis
sion has made were presented to the
conference by Senator Heed Smoot of
Utah, chairman of the Bectlou of for
ests of the commission. Senator
S moot's report 1b a summary of the
great .mass of statistics which the
first inventory represents.
In part the report is as follows:-
AVIuit Forests Do.
Next to our need of food and wa
ter comes our. need of timber. Our
industries subsisting wholly or main
ly upon wood, pay the wages of more
than one and one-half million men
and women.
Forests not only grow timber, but
they hold the soil, and they conserve
streams for all useful purposes. How
far forests Increase the rain is not
yet known. It Is well known that
they check wind, nnd work against
excessive heat or cold. That they
make for the liber, health and happi
ness of each citizen and of the na
tion, has been known since history
began.
The fish which live in forest wa
ters furnish each year twenty-one
million dollars' worth of food, and
not less than half as much Is fur
nished by the game which could not
exist without the forest.
What We Have.
Our forests now cover 550 million
acres, or about one-fourth of the
United States. The original forestB
covered not less than 850 million
acres, or nearly one-half.
Forests publicly owned cover one-
fourth of the total forest area, and
constain one-fifth of all timber stand
ing. Forests privately owned cover
three-fourths of the area, and con
tain four-fifths of the standing tim
ber. The timber privately owned Is
not onty four time that publicly own
ed, but it is generally more vuluuble.
Forestry Is now practiced on 70
per cent of the forests publicly own
ed and on less than one percent of
the forests privately owned, or on
only 18 per cent of the total forest
area.
What Is Produced
The yearly growth of wood In our
forests does not average more than
12 cubic feet per acre. This gives a
total yearly growth of loss than
billion cubic feet.
What Ih I'sed.
We take yearly, including waste In
logging and in manufacture, 23 bl
lion cubic feet of wood from our for
ests.
We use each year 100 million cords
of firewood, 40 billion feet of lumber,
more than a billion posts, poles and
fence rails, 118 million hewn ties,
billion staves, over l.CI million
sets of heading, over 500 million
barrel hoops, 3 million cords of nn
tlve pulpwood, 165 million cubic feet
of round mine timbers, and 1 mil
lion cords of wood for distillation.
What Ih nstl.
Since 1870, forest fires have each
year destroyed an average of f0 lives
and 50 million dollars' worth of tim
ber. Not less than five million acres
of foreHt Is burned over yearly.
One-fourth of the standing timber
Is left or otherwise lost in logging.
The boxing of longleaf pine for tur
pentlnelng has destroyed one-fifth of
the forests worked. The loss In the
mill Is from one-third to two-thirds
of the timber sawed. The loss lu the
mil) products, through seasoning and
fitting for use, is from one-seventh to
one-fourth.
Only 320 feet of lumber are used
for each 1000 feet which stood In the
forest.
Where we .Stand
We take from our forests earn
ypar, not counting the loss by nre,
3 times their yearly growth.
Our lumlwr cut has increased less
than 15 per cent In the last seven
years. Hut the average price of all
kinds of lumber at the mill has risen
49 per cent, and the riHe will con
tinue. We Invite by overtaxation the min
us of our forests. We destroy by
Are enough standing timber in one
year to last the nation for three'
months. We should plant, to protect
farms from wind and to make strip
ped and tree Ipsa lands productive, an
ara larger than that of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and West VlrRlnla com
bined. Hut so far, lands supcensf ully
planted to trees make a total area
smaller than Khode iHlaml. And ypar
bv year, by careless cutting and by
fire, we lower the capacity of exist
ing foreMs to produce their like
again, or totally destroy them.
fflCI ' tImuer makes us already depend
I V ent upon what we produce. We send
out of our country 1 V6 times as much
timber as we bring in. Except for
Mulshing woods, relatively insigutil
cant iu quantity, we must grow our
own supply, or go without.
Where we Might Stand.
By reasonable thrift,, we can pro
duce a constant timber supply be
yond our present need, and with it
conserve the usefulness of our 1
Btreams for irrigation, water supply
navigation and power.
Under right management, our for
ests will yield over four times as
much as now. We can reduce waste
In the woods and In the mill at least
one-third, with present as well as fu
ture prollt. We can perpetuate the
naval stores industry. Preservative
treatment will reduce by one-Hfth the
quantity of timber used in the water
or in the ground. We can practical
ly stop forest fires at a total yearly
cost of one-fifth the vnlue of the
standing timber burned each year.
not counting young growth.
We spall suffer for timber to meet
our neeus, until our forests have had
time to grow again. But if we act
vigorously and at once, we shall es
cape permanent timber scarcity.
What Must be Done.
For each million acres of foreBt
n publlo ownership, over three mil
lion are prlvntely owned. The con
servation of public forests Is the
smaller task before the nation and
the states. The larger task is to in
duce private foreBt owners, which
means 3 million men, to take enre
of what they have, and to teach wood
users, which means every one, how
not to waste.
If these things are done, they will
conserve our streams as well as our
forests.
