lu view of the prominence Into
which forestry has been brought
through recent controversies ami
events, n word upon homesteads with
lu the reservation from the secretary of
'agriculture's latest report may help to
clarify the subject for those at a dis
tance from the regions vitally Involv
ed. Believing that the facts had been
misrepresented, Secretary Wilson said:
"I made personal Investigation of
these matters during the past summer
In the states of Idaho and Wyoming.
I found uo evidence that the national
forests are withholding from settle
ment land now demanded for agrlcu
ture." Under the act of June, 1000, land
within the national forest area may be
opened up to settlement. Upward of
1,500 homesteads, with a total area
of 140,000 acres, were listed under
this act In 1009. Improvement In
farming methods and Increase In pop
ulation Is likely to Increase the de
mand for farm land such as may be
found within the national reserve do
main, and the secretary remarks that
the present Is not the time to decide
where the line should be finally drawn
as to the advance of agriculture Into
the forest reservation.

Higher Prices on Importations.
The very latest import lijruros show
that the prices of materials, manufac
tures and foodstuffs brought Into the
I'nited States are steadily going up.
The cause may be as dillicult to fix as
that behind the advance on home prod
ucts. Foreign exporters may arsue
that if the American people stand lilxh
prices on things raised or made at
home they won't cut short purchases
of foreign pocds because rates po up.
Ou the other hand, it mi;:lit be sup
posed that trade policy would le.id
them to keep prices down and under
sell some lines of American poods.
However, statistics relating to im
portation prices for the last half of
1900 indicate that the advance in the
prices of articles brought into the
country is merely keeping pace with
the upward tendency of prices where
the goods originated. It is no new
tale that the cost of living is advanc
ing pretty much the world over. There
fore the cost of producing and han
dling goods for export has advanced in
the countries from which we buy. Men
In the export trade are conservative, as
a rule. They seek, tirst, to retain
trade ouce built up; second, to gain a
fair profit, aud seldom put up prices
recklessly.
The more the Manehurlau railroads
neutralization scheme is considered
the more it commends Itself as well
fitted to do equal justice to all aud to j
permit special privileges to uoue. This
should not be an argument against It ;
In the sight of any of the powers.
The announcement of the bureau of
statistics that imported necessities
have risen iu price as much as domes
tic necessities will give uo shock to thf
ultimate consumer. He long ago gav(
up as useless looking for a place to
dodge.
If Morse follows the tailor's trade In
Atlanta prison he may discover that
there are ways of cutting a figure In
life much more ugreeaLile for him than
cutting Ice on the octopus plan.
