Senator Dubois and the West.
Senator Dubois carried his hearers far
away to the wooded slopes and shady val
leys of the Occur d'Alene, in his own state
of Idaho. The Senator showed an intimate
acquaintance with the natural resources of
his great young state, and keen apprecia-
ton of the unique value of her forests,
which he rated even higher than her great
mineral wealth. Not only are the noun
tain forests valuable In themselves, but
they are the reservoirs of all the streams
of the state, and these furnish the only
means of irrigation, without which agri-
culture IS well-nigh impossible.
Speaking of the relation of the people of
Idaho and the mountain states generally
to the forests on the public domain, Mr.
Dubois said: 1T is so much easier to re-
gard the government entity here in
Washington, where massive buildings and
thousands Of workers give it a personality
than in the west. where only thousands of
unoccuried acres remind one of its ex-
istence." And hence government property
is anybody's property. The Senator said
that while the preservation Of western for
ests would prove difficult, he regarded it
as essential to the prosperity of the west
ern states, and sincerely hoped come eff
fective law might be enacted by the pres
ent Congr ess.

THE FORESTRY ASSOCIATION
Interesting Addresses Delivered h
Prominent Public Men.

interesting Addresses Delivered nv
Prominent Public Men,
The joint meeting of the American For
estry Association and the National Geo
graphical Society Friday evening was an
occasion of more than passing interest,
since it showed the growth of an idea that
has been slow of acceptance by the Amer
lean mind. Five years ago, had any one
asked the chairmen of the Senate and
House committees on public lands for a
public expression Of opinion favoring the
enactment Of an administrative forest law
for the public domain, he would in all
probability have been laughed at In this
brief period, then. public opinion has ac-
.cepted the notion of forest protection
1t is true that this matter of forest pro-
lection was preached much more than five
years ago. The American forestry con-
gress held its first session fifteen years
ago, but, as was intimated at the Friday
evening meeting, that assemblage was re-
garded as a gathering Of sentimentalists.
Congressman McRae, the especial cham
pion of forestry interests in the House,
told of his conversion to the movement
He said when DR.. Fernow first came to
him with a long bill that he wanted en-
acted for the protection of the forests of
the public domain he had little interest IN
the matter. But committees of men whose
chief ciarac teristic was common sense
talked forest protection to the public lands
committee, and he found that the forest
idea was strongly practical one. 1t
forced his attention, 1t commanded his re-
srect and soon it found in him an enthu-
siastic advocate.
Tree Love In Arkansas.
Mr.. McRae told his audience that down
in Arkansas, where he lives there is a
wealth of forest so great that the people
fail utterly to realize it has any value at
all. Mr.. Lacey, who preceded him, having
told an amusing story of the depth and
fertility Of Iowa soil, Mr.. McRae solemnly
assured his hearers that in eastern Ar
richness was given to the production of
forest giants. He, himself, had never been
cut of sight Of tree until he was thirty
five years old, and misguided neighbors of
bis, who had been lured from home by tales
OF the Towering prairies of Texas, had re-
