This, he points out, is a small return as compared with the return on agricultural and grazing land, and he argues from this that it would be beneficial to have this timber lsnd, particularly that of Western Oregon, devoted to some more profitable use, it being climatically and naturally adapted to agricultural and dairying. He argues that this land, if permitted to pass into private ownership, would, when the timber is removed be widely developed and sustain Immense wealth. This is his prime reason for demanding 25 per cent of '.he revenues fiom timber sales for the benefit of the timber counties In case the committee does not adopt his 25 per cent amendment, Mr. Fulton will make a fight on the floor of the senate. Telegram Timber BUI. Mr. Fulton in opposing the tim ber bill gives among the reasons for his opposition that the counties should share in the sale receipts. Miv Fulton, after research in the department, shows that if the pend ing bill becomes law. practically all of Oregon's 19,000,000 acres of timber land will lie permanently re served. About 6,000,000 acres are already in forest reserves and nearly 7,000,000 more have been with drawn from entry with a view t permanent reservation, leaving 5, 000,000 acres still subject to entry, but which would be withheld from entry if the pending bill were en acted. Mr. Fulton has an assurance from the committee that the bill will be amended to give the coun ties 10 per cent of the receipts from i timber sales, but he is insisting upon 25 per cent and hopes to se cure this concession, though no assurances have yet been given him, 1MMENSK WEALTH TIMBER.

A sensation was sprung in mining circles in Leadville today when the ranger in charge of the Leadville forest re serve received notice from the act ing forester at Washington that no more timber should be cnt in Sum mit couuty and shipped to Lead ville lor use in the mines. Summit county has been the supply point for timber for the Leadville mines for the last five years and unless miners can continue to get timber there they will be put to great in convenience. It is claimed by Summit county citizens that the supply of timber is already insufficient for the Summit county mines and industries, and mining m.en protest strongly against its shipment to Leadville. The county commissioners and citi zens of Summit county seat a peti tion to Washington and asked that steps be taken to stop the shipment of timber to any mining camps out side of that county. The forester at Leadville has written a protest to the Washing ton officials, in which he charges that the reason for the petition was selfish motives. He has examined the Summit county timber lands and says that the miues of that county could not use the rotten timber on the grounds in the next ten years. If the order stands, the Leadville mine owners must seek other tim ber lands, and it is feared that the order may result in serious damage to the Leadville mines.
