DECEMBER 31. 1915 SALE OF NATIONAL FOREST TIMBER - Bids have been accepted by the Department of Agriculture for two large bodies of National Forest tim ber, estimated to contain 1S8.100.000 board feet. One is in California and the other in Utah. With one excep tion, these are by far the most im portant sales made this fiscal year, which is expected by forestry ofllctals to run considerably above last year in receipts from timber sales, the first 'five months having shown an increase of nearly 40 per cent. The California sale is on the Plumas national forest, in the Sierra mountains. The most valuable tim ber is sugar pine, for which J 3.25 per thousand was bid, with an es timated total of nearly 26,000,000 board feet on the tract. For yellow pine, of which the amount is put at over 37,000,000 feet, $2.60 was bid Douglas" fir, white fir, incense ce dar, which have a much lower market value, brought on an average of only 70 cents a thousand for a total of over 43,000,000 feet. The purchaser will be allowed an operating period of fifteen years, besides a year at the beginning for the construction of nec essary improvements; but the prices to be paid are subject to readjust ment every five years. The Utah timber is in the Wasatch national forest, and will be cut chiefly for railroad ties. It com prises, according to the government's estimate, 82, 100, 000 board feet of green and dead lodgepole pine, En gleman spruce, and Alpine fir. The sale price is 10 cents for each tie cut ' and one-half cent per linear foot for mine timbers. Notwithstanding that since the cur rent fiscal year began, July 1, there have been two large previous sales of national forest timber, one In Arizo-j na of less than 50,000,000 feet, the; other in Washington of nearly 100,-' 000,000 feet, the vast bulk of the sales from the national forests are of 1 small quantities for the supply of I local needs. The total cut from all the national forests last year was 689,000,000 board, feet, of which nearly one-fourth went to local resi dents allowed free use, while out of a total of nearly 11,000 individual sales only 109 involved timber worth more than $1000. With timber re ceipts during the last fiscal year in excess of $1,175,000, the forestry officials say that if the rate of gain already made this year continues the receipts will exceed all past records.

ANOTHER ON THE FORD "Old Zeke Smith sold his hogs one day, and the gosh durned fool threw his money right away; he rode into town sittin' on a board, and came riding home In a darned little Ford. When he came to the house and got (o the gate, he Bhut down the throttle and put on the brake, he grabbed for the reins got the throttle instead; darned little Ford kept chuggin' right ahead. Zeke jerked out, the levers and turned on the gas, he kicked on the pedals and broke out the gjass; he cut all the wires and he pulled off the top, but the darned Ford just wouldn't stop. He pulled out his knife and he smiled so se rene, cut a hole in the tank, drained out the gasoline; he pulled out his gun, shot the tires full of lead, but the gol domed Ford kept chuggin' right ahead. It jumped over the gate and ran around the barn, old Zeke kept shout ing his favorite, 'gol darn.' It smashed the old wagon and ran plum over the sled, and the gol durned critter kept a chuggin' right ahead. Ma Smith was on the porch with a mop and a broom; she hadn't been a looking for Pa Smith home so soon; the machine came around the corner, - jumped into her flower bed, and the darned little Ford kept chuggin' - right ahead. Ma hit It with the mop - and she hit it with the broom, with Pa Smith still a shoutln' like a gol blamed loon; she finally swiped poor Zeke and they think perhaps he's dead, but the darned little Ford kept a chuggin' right ahead. The ma- chine was then arrested for disturb ing o' the peace, and was yanked into ' the court before Squire Emanuel ' Relsch; he sentenced it to hanging, hanging until dead, but the gol darn ed Ford keeps a chuggin' right ahead.
