MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREO ON. WEDNESDAY, 16 INCREASE IH TIMBER CUT During 1907 Over Forty Billion Feet of Lumber Was Cut EXPERIMENTS WITH FENCING ' SQUATTER W TROUBLE TO PROTECT SHEEP WASHINGTON, I). C, Sept. 2, Figures of tho lumbor cut in 1907 torn piled by the Berau of Census and the Forest Sorvico showed the largest total ever reported in the United blares, c coeding by over seven per cent the cut reported for 1!)nfi, until then tho record veur. This does not necessarily show a iarger actual cut than in lflufi, for the returns obtained last year wero more complete than ever before. The figures facts. In 1907, 2S,2(iO mills made returns, nud their production was over 40 billion foot of lumber. This is believed to be 113 per cent of the actual cut. In 1900, 22,:i!W mills reported nbout 37M- billion foot. Since according to these figures nonrly 29 per cent more mills reported last vear than the year before, while 41,n inerpimo in nroducMon was only a little over seven per cent, it might be thought that the amount actually man most invo been greater in v.,ii,,r Mm miira to protect sheep fr.,m nrtfluka or Dredatory animals has met with, excellent results iu the Wal lowa 'National' forest, Oregon. . ine ...i.i,n m to find a strung fence-that wni.M make the sheep secure, even with out the are of a herder.

The hunter employed by the service for hunting predatory animals in the vicinity of this fenced enclosure has killed no less than six large grizzlies this season, besides numerous other ani mals of the predatory class.

Anderson.ivharged wita cutting and sen inB 400.000 feet of sawed timber from the Siskiyou National forest. Anderson squatted within the bound ary of the Siskivou forest in 1903, an a homesteader. He was a married man. The land upon which he settled being unsurveyed, he was uuuu.e 10 muse u filing upon it, but would have been prevented from so doing in any cvom ku,ni,a nf the territory having been withdrawn as a forest reserve by proc lamation ol tne rrosiueiii. nw , however, left in undisturbed possess ion of tho land. It was an unsnus- ae.torv home for Mrs. Anderson, and ;,. 11,1, fnll nf tho vear she left him going to the stjito of Washington, where she procurred a divorce, in August, 1903, sho returned to tho homo of An derson, and, it is alleged, again resumed her place as his wife. In tho meantime coal had beu found on tlio place, ami Mrs. Anderson filed on H0 ncres as a onl claim, taking 120 acres additional as a homestead, fines Anderson, her rstwhile husbnnd, nlso filed upon the mil lnnds nud a homestead in addition.

His arrest was ordorpd upon his own admissions wnne on mu witness stand. When conl was first discovered An derson is snid to havo been very act ive in letting his friends in on the ground floor, but whether he located them for a consideration or not has not been developed. The porsons who join ed him nre alleged to have done so in good faith, and feel that they have beu ilefraudeil of large sums or money mev !,,.. invested ill development for the reason that the coal vein hns not proved profitable, and in tne opinion oi expert it never will. l tie ciaimuui vaiuuil a good deal of reeling lowaru mi service officials, claiming that, they should bo given patents on the ground that they have exniunea goou mini, even if the conl was unt there.
