TIMBER IN HANDS OF A FEW OWNERS Being Held Principally for Speculs- five furposts. Washington, July 13.—Concentra- tion of timber lands in the United States in the hands of a few owners is discussed at length in the second and third parts of the report of the bureau of corporations on the lumber industry, submitted to President Wil- son today by Commissioner Davies. Two men hold forty-nine per cent. of the timber in southwestern Wash- ington, the report says; five men hold thirty-six per cent. in western Ore- gon; six have seventy -per cent. in northeastern California; ten have more than half in the redwood area, and in north central Idaho four hold- ers have fifty per cent, “The ‘control of our standing tim- ber in a comparatively few enormous holdings, speculatively held far in ad- vance of any use thereof, and the great increase in the value of timber, resulting in part from' such specula- tive holding, are underlying facts that will become more and more important elements in determining the price of lumber as the supply of timber dimin- ishes,” says the report. 1,694 Timber Owners. “The main fact shown is that 1,694 timber owners hold in fee over one- twentieth of the land area of the entire United States from the Cana- dian to the Mexican border. In many states these 1,694 own no lands at all. In the 900 timbered counties investigated they own one-seventh of the area. “These 1,694 holders own 105,600,- 000 acres. This is an area four-fifths the size of France; or greater than the entire state of California; or more than two and one-half times the land area of the six New England states. Sixteen holders own 47,800, 000 acres, or nearly ten times the land area of New Jersey. Three land- grant railroads own enough to give | fifteen acres to every male of voting age in the nine western states where almost all their holdings lie. “Not all this land is suitable for agriculture, In the south and in the lake states and in part of the west a large portion ‘of it can be used for agriculture after the timber is re- moved; but in many parts of the west the land is mountainous and adapted chiefly to reforestation. Much of the railroad-owned land out- side the timber regions is arid or semi-arid. “In the upper peninsula of Michi- gan forty-five per cent. of the lahd: is held, mostly in fee, by thirty-two timber owners. In Florida fifty-two holders (mostly timber owners) hold one-third of the land in the entire Few Small "Holdings. “Lavish land grants and loose, ill- ieniforced land lawsiare the historical away pimples' PIMPLES and blackheads disappear, unsightly complexions become en:l clear,-and velvety, and hair health an beauty are promoted by the regular use of Resinol Soap and an occasional ?ph- cation of Resinol Ointment.

NAUGHTON, SPECIALIST IN CATARRH, STOMACH, KIDNEY AND CHRONIC AILMENTS. Office and Laboratory, 311 Main Street. Worcester, Mass, background of the concentration of land and timber ownership shown in this report. A study or the present ownership of 7,370,000 acres of rail- road, wagon-road and canal grant lands, covering most of thé granted lands in the map area, and a little elsewhere, shows that of these par- ticular lands, granted long ago . to single corporations apparently with the idea that they would be quickly sold to settlers, only fifteen per cent. are now distributed in small holdings. Eighty-five per cent. are owned by the grantees or their successors, or by large timber holders. Of 82,500,000 acres granted to three western rail- roads in the sixties, the roads still re- tained ‘forty per cent, in 1910. ‘“Moreover ‘the states have disposed of the various federal grants made “to them in such'a way as to contribute to the concentration of land and'timber ownership. Flor- ida is a striking example of this. Again, the public land laws, the cash sale law (now repealed), the scrip laws, and the homestead and timber and stone laws operated, at least in timber regions, to transfer govern- ment lands directly or almost direct- ly to great holders. Acquired in Wholesale Manner. “Ninety-eight per cent. of the 1,500,- 000 acres comprised in the largest timber holding in the lake states was acquired in a wholesale manner, chiefly from tracts disposed of by the government through grants to the state or under the scrip and the cash sale laws. “This marked concentration in the ownership of land has two important aspects, The first is the concentra- tion of control of the natural re- sources, other than agricultural, in the area comprised in these great holdings. Besides its timber now standing, part of the land must be depended on, together with the na- tional forests, to supply future crops of timber. Furthermore, some of it has valuable resources of ores, oil, gas, water power, etc. Land to Have Higher Value. “The second is the possibility that these holdings, which. will form a considerable portion. of the - future area used for agriculture in this country, may be retained under con- centrated control. Formerly lum- bermen often got rid of their cut- over land at nominal prices or let it &o for taxes. But as the agricultural possibilities of such land have be- come apparent this policy is being abandoned. A large part of the pres- ent cut-over land is now of consider- able value for tillage. That part of the present timber land which when denuded will be arable, will have a higher and higher value as land the longer the timber is keépt uncut; be- cause if the timber is held for many vears the land when finally denuded will be in greater demand for agri- culture. Such a condition suggests the following potentlal effects upon the public: High prices for land so0ld to settlers, increase of the ten- antry system, or direct farming by large corporations. Data Not Sufficient. “The data obtained by the bureau, so far as land is concerned, are not sufficient for a study of the land prob- lem as a whole. They cover only onc class of owners, the timbermen, and only part of the country. They show conditions only at the time of the in- vestigation, and do not show whether the concentration is increasing or de- creasing. They are not typical of present conditions in agricultural communities, where the average size of holdings is, of course, much smaller. Though incomplete, these data are, nevertheless, suggestive and worthy of serious consideration. “Most of the land grants were made on conditions, and it appears that in many cases not all of the con- appear to | ditions were complied with. The government is now attacking some ‘of these grants for alleged violatign of the conditions imposed. “The abuse of the general land laws in the past suggests that any lands restored to the public domain by these, or other, forfeiture suits should not be disposed of under the present land laws. To allow such lands to be taken up by private parties before the -revision of the public land laws has béen completed | would be to lose much of the public | benefits from their recovery.” OLD TIME MINSTREL DEAD. His Old “Darky” Songs. Chicago, July 13.—Billy Baxter, old time minstrel, who had played with nearly all of the leading minstrel companies of America and who had | appeared before the royalty of Europe, with his banjo, died in a hospital here 'last night of cirrhosis of the liver. | Born in Cincinnati in 1861 he turned ! early to the stage where his musical | talent soon won him a place among ithe stars of ministrelsy. He made | several tours of the world and .on many occasions rulers of Europe Te- quested him to play and sing the old “Darky” songs. A few years ago he retired from ; the stage. He will be buried under the auspices of the Chicago Press club | tomorrow. | BROUGHT INTO PORT.

New York Man Freed of Charge of American Car Company Robbery. New York, July 13.—James Fay, who was arrested on June 6 at a pool room which was entered by po- lice. who were searching for certain persons suspected of connection with the robbery of two employes of the American Can company that occurred the previous day, has been exonerat- ed by police investigation of having any connection with the robbery. It also. appears that the statemient that Mr. Fay was held for connec- tion with the robbery was incorrect, as the charge against him was the technical one of violation of the Sul- livan law which prohibits the pos- session of weapons. The police in- vestigation gives Fay a clean charac- ter. . MOTOR CYCLIST KILLED.
