In this area 3 holders have 14 per cent of the privately 'owned timber, 90 have two-fifths, and 195 have nearly balf. Marked concentra tion In the area outside the bureau'a detailed Investigation also Is Indicat ed. Since the amount of ' standing timber Is steadily diminishing and Its value rapidly Increasing, this concen tration Involves problems of far reaching public Importance. V. In view of the facts already publish ed, no extended comment appears necessary at this time. It seems prop or however to emphasize that the pres ent conditions of timber ownership are largely due, as clearly set forth In this report, to the land policy of the Federal government, especially the greaf federal land grants to rail roads and tha faulty operation, of some of the general land laws. In stead of securing a srldt distribution of the public domain in the hands of a vast number of ndependent owners, as apparently contemplated, the prac tical result of this legislation, at least so far as tlmberlands are concerned. has been a high degree of concentra tion of ownership. The report shows that the great land grants have di rectly resulted .

The national forest policy Inaugur ated In the nineties, and now In sue cessful operation, marked . a - funda mental -change In the ideas which had formerly prevailed as to the hand ling of public tlmberlands. The basic principle of ths policy Is the retention of the fee title to the land and the sale from time to time of the timber only, with a view to the wisest use of the supply and to ts proper conservation. By this policy the government Is able to secure for the public the full mark'' et value of this timber at the time of cutting, and at the same time to re tain the land Itself for reforestation or for such .other use or disposition as may later seem advisable. Attempts, however, are still made to secure the transfer of public tlm berlands to private owners under the same pleas of settlement which In the past often proved ' wholly specious and Insincere. Much of the timber land still remaining In public owner ship Is adapted only for timber pur poses. All that could be properly asked by a bona fide settler Is the sur face of arable. land after the timber has been removed, but too frequently back of the argument made In the, name of the "settler" is the desire to IHDIANf TROPHY SE0T7 IS BEST HISTORICAL COLLECTION, MADE BY WOMAN AMONG EIGHTEEN TRIBES, AT COLISEUM, CHICAGO sinks' $&k' i$t&khiiiWMMih I ti&Z&ft Mr V I THE MAGI "COMMON SENSE" V Explains why Real Estate is the best investment attainable by man, especially In Grande Monde Valley You jlace your money" in the bank, and do well to obtain 5 per cent.

This Is the first time Mrs. Carbon-Vis exhibit ever was displayed. The Smithsonian institution has endeavor ed to get possession of the collection,' but Trading Woman would not sell a single mocassin. She does not even attempt to fix a financial value on it. In fact, she is so solicitous about the safety of the collection that she in sured it for $15,000 against Are and Louis W. Hill, chairman of the Grca; Northern railway, who induced ber to bring it to Chicago, agreed to hire two night watchmen to guard it before she would even consent to ship the stuff to the Chicago show.

It seems desireable, therefore, to di- rect public attention to the fundamen- j tal difference between disposing ol agricultural lands to actual settlers I whose Industry contributes directly to the material and social upbuilding ' of the community, and the aleinatlon 1 of virgin tlmberlands, which do not require, and Indeed hardly permit of Improvement by private owners, and ' tha vhIiia rtf vrhtnh la .n ntfl! u .l.tno because of reduction In the supply and the Increase In population. The pub lic service involved in the mere spec ulative folding of this timber for an advance in price, under the present conditions of settlement oftbe country Is practically negligible. When, more over, such lands become concentrated In a comparatively few hands, there is, instead of a public service, a ser ious public danger. Without entering Into a discussion of possible solutions of certain grave problems involved In the present con. j centratlon of timber ownership, - It may be pointed out that the govern- ment today stills owns, exclusive of the forests of Alaska, about one-fifth j of the country's total supply of tner ' chantable standing timber. . It Is the ' agency best adapted to practicing re , forestatlon on a large scale. Recently Important suits for forfeiture of ex tensive tlmberiand have been brought by the government on the ground of ! nonfulfillment of conditions imposed In the grants by which these lands were alienated from the public do. , main. For these reasons, it would ap pear, therefore, that the government ' may later be able to maferially j strengthen its relative position as a , timber owner. ' The facts set forth in this report ' clearly point to the dcslreability of 1 maintaining the Integrity of the nation al forests and of extending to other publcly owned timber, Including for ests of Alaska and tlmberlands that may be recovered In forfeiture suits now pending or subsequently Institu ted by the government, the cardinal principle of the national forest policy namely, the retention of the fee to such lands at least until the timber Is removed. Decision will then have to be made between retaining aucb lands for reforestation and disposing of the surface for agricultural purposes.
