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

Tho chosen fence, which is built of

predatory animals come to the fence
constantly and follow it arouna nut.

seem able to eater.
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.
The results of this experiment are so
satisfactory so far that private individ-

Canon for, the arrest of ono Charlos"W.
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withdrawn as a forest reserve by proc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.
They then applied for patents on all the
lands.
At tho hearing of tho contest Ander-
nttnnmted tn liroVO tlint lie COlllll

that he had cut 400,000 feet of timber
from one 40-ncre tract nud had sold it
,.t ,mnil nrico. 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
