forestry comes To be introduced I'm this
country on a large scale. IL must be es-
senually along American lines. without too
close pursuit of precedents created to meet
the conditions of other countries. Never
theiess, there is a great deal that is sug-
gesuNe in the story Of forestry abroad,
&nd IL we cannot at once apply the meth
eds or achieve the results which have fol-
lowed long years Of right forest manage
nent elsewhere We may at least be en-
couraged by their success.
Io.ooo.O00 Acres Reserved.
1t Is known in a general way that there
have beer for several years a few govern
ment fo'est reserves in this country. and
that a number of new ones were created
IN the western states during the closing
months of President Clevelands adminis-
tration- But few persons realize or have
even heard, that the present area of forest
reserves in the United States acgrerate
4o,Vt00o0 acres and that together they
would cover more territory than is include
ed within the boundaries of the state of
New York
This is not too much. 1t is no more than
fair beginning. II the recent policy ia
continued and is heartily seconded by state
action, such as Governor Black is urging
IN New York II will be the best possihla
thing for the country.
we DO not need to plant trees except in
a re" OF lne central western states. What
Is needed Is to stop the wholesale demoli-
tion, especially by fire. that mas been going
on for years, and to substitute for n a
reasonable system of forest preservation.
Ihat Will be by far the cheaper course in
the end. To plant an acre with trees costs
about Slo, 10 preserve trees where they are
standing costs only 1.-THE of that amount.
Forestcrs Are Needed.
What is especially needed now is an eff
clent service to manage the reserves that
a.
effectively done by utilizing the woodsmeu
who are already familiar with the different
sections and understand the handling Of
trees. The present laws and regulations
relating to the preserves are fairly ade-
quate, but they cannot be put into thor.
ough effect until the preserves are given
INTO the charge of a corps of trained for
esters who will protect them from fire ana
the encroachments of lumbermen. Such a
service would save to the United States
every year many thousands more than its
maintenance would cost We should nrofit
py the experience of other countries for
example, France, where millions of francs
and years of time have been ceyoted TO
.he restoration OF forests that might have
been preserved and at the same time have
been a source of revenue, and the present
outiook Tor foresty in this country seems
encouraging. People are beginning to
awake to It's Importance. The movement
In New York In favor of the protection of
the Adirondacks, ana especially Goyernor
Black plan to make forest experiment
under the control of Cornell University
may become, next to the proper manage
ment or the national reserves the most
important forward step in forestry vet TAX
en-. On the whole. with these two nossi-
bilItics for good just ahead il seems clear
mat the prospects OF better times for the
forests of the United States are brighter
than they ever nave been before

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for

Cure. Send for circulars; free.

THE PROBABLE RESULT.

The result of the organization yes
terday at Salem indicates that H. w.
Corbett is not the choice of the legis-
lature. To the majority of the voters
this is welcome news. For the future
welfare of the Republican party,
such a result is sincerely hoped.
Simon carried his point in the SEN
ate. This was conceded. He had
support from Republicans who are
openly opposed to Mr.. Corbett, hence
there could be but one result in that
quarter.
In the house a different condition
of matters exist. Maxwell, the open
and avowed candidate of Simon for
speaker. was turned down for Carter,
the anti-Simon man. The house has
twice the membership of the senate,
and thus in Il senatorial contest is a
much more powerful body.
In the senatorial contest in 1895,
Simon had both houses in the organi-
zation, and yet with more Republi-
can representatives than exists IN this
legislature, Mr.. Dolph was defeated.
This paper regrets that Mr.. Dolph
was beaten, however, and this Incl
dent is mentioned merely to prove to
the Republicans of Oregon, who be-
lleve that our state should not be
blighted by being misrepresented,
that the election of Simon in the SEN
ate is no indication that Mr.. Corbett
has a walkover.
Indeed THE CHRONICLE believes
that broad minded, we'll balanced
man of mature years will be selected.
If such a man is not it will be because
too many of the members have lis
tened to the silveIy voice of the god
dess, gold. This is a terrible imputa-
tion to make, but in the light of the
1acts it is best to speak plain so that
the readers of this parer will know
how and where to place the responsi-
bility if H. w. Corbett is thrust upon
them. They know that he is not the
proper person to represent them that
he is too old and childish. But q
great effort is being made through
the Glasses, the Josephs and the Sui
Iivans, three types of ''respectability"
which are more often found around
legislatures and state penal institu-
tIons than elsewhere, to persuade"
the Oregon legislature that the man
of one qualification is to be the SEN
ator. Some, it is true, will support
him on principle, but they will stand
under the charge of having been un-
duly influenced, regardless of their
position.
THE CHRONICLE does not deem 1t
necessary to say that gold standard
man must be chosen. No other sort
of man will apply,i because gold
standard and Republican are syno-
nymous. The party stands plainly
before the people on that question.
Hence it is idle to talk about the pos
sibility of selecting any other person
except Republican. With this idea
in view, and with the idea of harmony
in the party, THE CHRONICLE has not
found more acceptable man than
Hon. NJ. c. George, its candidate.
His candidacy is meeting with gen.
eral favor everywhere. THE CHRoNI-
Gle believes that he will be chosen.

of the Maine, have made a prelimi-
nary report OF the. result of their
work.
Incredible as it may seem, it is
said that after partial examination
of the magazines of the Maine, the
divers report that the one in which
the explosion is supposed to have
taken place is intact
According to the correspondent Is
informant, the contents of this maga-

this report is true, an entirely differ
ent aspect is given to the terrific ex-

OUR STEADY GROWTH.

1t is a remarkable fact that
Ardmore is at present attaining
a growth almost unprecedented
in the history of the town, eX-
cepting of course the year fol-
lowing the big fire. In every
portion of our fair city new
buildings are going up; others
are being enlarged and remod-
eled. There is no rush attached
to this, but it is the steady
growth of a nature that speaks
for itself of a towns stability.
The Hargrove Heights are fast
becoming dotted with neat rcsi-
dences. The west end of the
city is in the throes of a similar
situation. In the heart of the
town the same energy and ac-
ton are displayed in improve
ment of residences. The same
may be said of Poverty Flats,
Quality Knob. College Hill and
other additions to Ardmore.
Everywhere is heard the ham
mer and saw of the skilled me-
chanic; and while we do not
call this boom, to a stranger
it has that appearance. 1t sim
ply is the result OF a necessity.
The people had just got too nu-
merous for the town, and build
ings for their comfort had to
come. We are proud to see it,
and cannot for a second doubt
that this growth will be contin-
uous with the year 1898.
