J Government Makes Largest Offering
Washington, Jan. 12. Secretary of
agriculture Houston today approved
the disposal of one billion feet of
.western yellow pine timber from the
Kaibab national forest in northern
Arizona. In order to get this timber
out it will be necessary to build a
railroad approximately 200 v miles
long. Such a railroad will connect
Colorado and Utah with the world
famous Grand Canyon of the Color
ado, which hitherto has been acces
sible only from the south.
. For several years the construction
of such a railroad has been consid
ered by various capitalists, but it has ;
been stated that the lack of assured
immediate traffic was an effectual bar
rier. It is pointed out, however, that
a contract for a billion feet of tim
ber will overcome this difficulty ' by
: providing a commodity for transpor
tation which, together with tourist
and local traffic, will place the project
on a paying basis practical y from
the outset.
Chief Forester Henry S. Graves
made a personal examination on the
ground, and. this examination supple
mented by the reports of his forest
engineers, induced him to recommend ,
the sale of such a larpe body of tim
ber in order that the country might
be develaped through the supplying
of this resource. Mr. Graves says,
however, that the Kaibab forest is
one of the moset beautiful in Amer
ica, and kivds assurance that the
I marketing of the mature crop of tim
' ber will not be allowed to mar the
j scenic beauty of the region,
j In accordance with the timber sale
policy of the government the stnmp-
npre will be disposed of to the highest
' bidder. In order to attract a suffic-
lent investment to assure the buikl
t inrr of the railroad and of the neces
sary lumber mills at least a billion
feet of timber had to be offered. The
investment necessary to make this j
timber accessible will amount to more j
than ?3,000.000. By placing this !
quantity of timber before the lumber
men of the country the officials of the
forest reserve believe that the devel
opment of extensive areas in southern
Utah may bo looked for, because the
necessary railway will render acces
sible resources which ha?e hereto
fore been undeveloped. The whole
region is rich in agricultural land, in
cattle and sheep range,.' and in coal
and copper deposits, as well as in
timber. -; ... ,
. Bids for the timber will be receiv
ed up to the middle of June. 1014, and
three years will be allowed for , then
building of the railroad and mills,
and -twenty-five years for the cutting
of the timber. ; The stumpage rates,
however, Iwill be readjusted at the end
of each five-year period of the con
tract, the readjustments being based
on the then current lumber prices.
By the end of the contract period,
the forest officers say, the young
trees left on the area first cut over
will be ready for cutting, so that by
the system of lumbering wjiich the
government will require .operations

which will be readily sold in the large
