BEVERLY, Mass., Sept. 16. Al
though efforts woro made by many
newspaper correspondents here to
induce Secretary Norton to deny tho
fuct thnt Tnft is nol inclined to bo
come a candidato for u second term
as president, tho attempts proved
unsuccessful. Norton refused to is
sue any official denial, and the cor
respondents sent dispatches to their
various papers saying that no offi
cial statement that Taft would not
bo a candidate in 1012 had been is
sued nt Bovcrly.
Tho United Press dispatch of yes
terday containing tho first autbori
tntivo information thnt the president
will probably retire at tho end of hU
term, distinctly said that no official
stntcmunt to this effect had been is
sued. The truth of tlio stor" how

Nov York Times Publishes Dispatch
Baying President Is Tired.
NEW YORK, Sc.pt. 10. President
Taft is not thinking of the campaign
of 1912 and probnbly docs not desire
a second nomination, according to
tho Times today. Tho Times prints
a special dispatch in which President
Taft is quoted as having said to a
friend several weeks age:
'I am not thinking of 1012. In
fact. I don't know that I desiro u
renomination. From tho way things
aro drifting it mny bo that no repub
lican can be elected, savo probably
one."
Tho Times centinues:
Report Confirmed.
"From nn entirely different souroe
tho Times correspondent is inform
ed thnt President Tnft made sub
stantially tho samo remark to anoth
er friend. These statements havo
been repented among associates of
the president until they aro almost
common property. For this reason
additional weight is given to u dis
pntch sent out by tho United Press
yesterdny saying thnt in all proba
bility President Tnft will not bo u
candidate for another term.
"Thus fnr tho prosidont has dem
onstrated littlo interest in tho pol
itics of tho futuro beyond March 4,
1U1H. Tho chief idea of tho prosi
dont is to fulfill tho party pledges.
There has been, a studied suenco on
Tuft's part about politios. Thoro Is
no secret that ho is much discour
aged Roosovclt's courso has un
doubtedly annoyed him. The tri
umph of tho insurgoiits in a nuuibor
of stnto primaries, tho rofusnl of
certain republican conventions to

PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 16. All
merchantable timber' in the burned-'
ever areas of the national forests us
Washington and Oregon will be soli
at once.
Plans for the sales havo just bee
completed by the forestry service as- -sistcd
by W. T. Cox of the agricul
ture department, who sent frost
Washington, D. C, to complete the
arrangements.
It is estimated that tho recent for
est fires in Oregon and Washingtos
destroyed approximately 1,200,000,
000 feet of timber. Tho Idaho losses?
approximated 3,000,000,000 feet.
Such a move on the oart of tha
government has been expected by the
local forestry officials for the past
few days, as there is a great quan
tity of sugar pine which can be sav
ed if used within the next two years.
Several timbermen arc considering
tho purchase of tho timber, as it will
be sojd at a low price in order to
dispose of it quickly.
Several million feet will bo offered '
for sale in tho Crater national for
est. The local office is to commence
