[From our Regular Correspondent.! Washington, April 4, 1908. A peculiar situation was revealed this week when the House Committee on Claims undertoook to scale down the hill presented by the Southern Pacific for repairing the damage done by'vlie Colarado River when it created the Sv;lton Sea, in Southern California. It seems the railroad has presented a bili of $1,800,000, and the committee proposed to cut this down to $1,009,000, when the attorney for the Harriman road charged the committee with de manding rebates in violation of the law and declared that nothing would in duce his client to violate the law even to oblige Uncle Sam However, there is every indication that Congress will gtrike about $.500,000 from the com pany's bill, even though it be obliged to enact a snspension of the interstate commerce law for this particular oc casion . In spite of the efforts that have been made in his behalf, it is perfectly ob vious that Rear Admiral Evans will not receive the rank and title of vice admiral at this session of Congress. Senator Hale is opposed to granting this recognition to Admiral Evans at this time, though it may be done after the Admiral is placed on the retired list. In view of this opposition it is believed that even though the House were to pass such a bill it would be al lowed to slumber in the Senate comit te j , consequently there is little likeli hood that any action will be be taken by the House committee, in spite of the earnest efforts of Representative Kennedy who introduced a bill along these lines. Hearing on the Aldrich bill by the House Banking and Currency Comit tee began on April 3rd and will con tinue for one week. In the House and in the committee strong opposition has developed to the amendment putin the bill by Senator La Follette, prohibiting any national bank from investing its funds in stocks of a corporation, the of fleers of which are officers or directors oi'the bank. This is looked upon as a hardship to the many banks in the smaller towns, where the bank direc tors are generally interested in every local enterprise. Catarrh Cannot be Cured.

Everywhere in the eastern and southern states the ax is transform j ing (lie magnificent forests of the past into culled and cut over land The demand for Umber is so great and operations are so extensive that i n a comparatively few years those who wish to see timber in its virgin luxuriance will have to visit distant and isolated sections of the country. Under the new conditions brought about by the explicitation of the virgin forests a type of woodlands known as the old iields pine has developed into commercial importance within recent years as a result of clearing away the original forests for agricultural purposes. This old lield type promises to increase in value more and more with the corres ponding increase in the price of wood products. Old fields are common both in the South anil in the North, although they arise from different causes and become reforested with different species of trees. In the South, before the Civil War, vast areas of land were in cul tivation which have since been allowed to return to forest. Many thousands of acres were often included within a single plantation, mostly cleared, and growing splendid crops of cotton, corn, tobacco, and many other valuable farm products. It is common to-day to see in certain sections of the South, old plantations of great extent that are now growing up with loblolly, or as it is generally called, old lield pine. The war was responsible for this neglect of cultivated land. With the freeing of the slaves the immense plantations could no longer be managed and the land was abandoned. In many cases, however, the land was impoverished through many years of cultivation, but with the use of fertilizers will be reclaimed in the future. Farmers now point out splendid stands of pine already large enough to be lumbered, on land that they once plowed. Growth has been phenomenal, the trees being often 12 to 14 inches in diameter at an age of no more than twenty to twenty-five years. Loblolly pine bears seed prolifically nearly every year and being light these seeds are carried long distances by the wind. The open fields offer ideal places for the young trees to start. The ground has I been worked many years and there is no young oak brush to interfe-e with their growth as in the case of the stump or cut-over lands. Long leaf pine, on the other hand, seeds much less abundantly and the seeds being heavier are not carried by the wind far from the mother trees, so that its reproduction is much less abundant. The loblolly, however, is most aggressive in taking possession of abandoned lands and preemin ently deserves its popular name of "old field pine." Through this natural reforsetation nature has freely furnished a source of income on land that would otherwise have been unproductive all these years. Yet it has not been until recently that the old field pine was thought to have any value. There were forests of longleaf pine everywhere close at hand and the wood was much superior for every purpose. Fence rails made from longleaf pine last many years, but loblolly rails soon decay and must be frequently replaced. Rail roads through the pine country would accept nothing but longleaf pine for ties. So the old fields were allowed to grow up and remain un touched except that occasionally the owner would cut down a few trees to preveut them from encroaching into his very door yard. Ideas are changing rapidly now as to the values and uses of certain woods. The longleaf pine is disappearing from the land and there are few young trees to take the place of the old. Necessity for future wood material has resulted in many investigations and experiments with in ferior kinds of wood. Loblolly or old field pine has been found to be exceedingly durable when impregnated with creosote. This has given the old field pine a new value and to-day thousands of railroad ties are cut near the railroads and shipped to treating plants to be creosoted. Small portable mills are easily and cheaply located and many of these are now cutting the best trees in these old field stands for lumber to be used locally among the farmers. The future lumbering will be carried on extensively in these second growth stands of oldtfield pine. The situation in the North is very much the same. White pine is here found occupying the oldlOelds much as loblolly pine does in the South. The seeds are light and are carried considerable distances to the open fields where they find plenty of light and suitable soil condi tions' to make excellent growth. Fifty years ago or more there were many small areas under cultiva tion which have since been abandoned and have now grown up to white pine. Farming has always been on a small scale but with the develop ment of great farming interests in the West, the farmer of the North east has been handicapped in his competition for the markets. Many of the younger generation have left the old home farms and gone to the cities for more lucrative employment. All this has resulted in abandon ment of old farms and fields and many of these are growing up to pine. There is a tendency for men who left the farms many years ago to re turn and spjnd the summer months among their boyhood surroundings. They love the native forests and consequently encourage the growth of pine in the fields once cultivated. So there is an esthetic as well as a commercial value attached to this young growth. The white pine of the Northeast does not compare in rate of growth with the old field pine of the South, but the wood is more valuable for lumber, boxboards, shingles, and other purposes, and the demand for second growth pine is very great. It is estimated there are 800,000 acres of abandoned land in southern New Hampshire and a large part of this is growing up to white pine. Investigations show that it is most profitable to lumber these second growth stands of white pine when they are fifty to sixty years old. There is a large and increasing source of wealth in our old field pine lands. It is never the object of forestry to encourage tree growth on land that is better suited for agriculture. At the same time there are vastarears uncultivated that are producing no income to their own ers. Such land should be permitted to grow trees and be protected from fire and misuse until such time as they may become more desirable or other purposes.
