Show Utah Timber. ! An articlo written by a citizen of Mariti, wliich appears in another column, calls attention to the fact that a number of saw mill men are being sued by the government for cuttingtimber in the mountains. The object of all this is supposed to be the protection of the forests, . but when tho Government allows the railroads to cut tie timber, indiscriminately, it is hard to seo Avhy it should object to the peoplo cutting enough to assist in building build-ing up tho state. The timber cut to be manufactured into lumber does not injure tho forests a tithe of what the tie cutting does. Tho railroads, in their search for ties cut out the young and growing trees wliich would not bo touched by tho lumber men. The legisla- ture should memorialize congress to grant the peoplo of the state , " tho privilege of cutting enough timber for local use. Ephraim Enterprise. |
