to which its honor Is pledged. and COM
NIT an unfriendly act against a friendly

say That It would result in war we do not

and whether or not II has right TO

tons As to risking war with Great
Britain for the sake of the canal, only
a few extremists would contemplate that
for one moment.
II certainly is a time for temperate,
thoughtful and honorable inquiry into

merits Of canal construction have now
no place in the argument. Is this ma

has been done. we have no right to pro-

Protest Against Forest Reservation


A special dispatch from Washington
says that a protest has been filed with
the secretary of the interior against the
inclusion Of the territory OF Chelan coun !.
ty In the proposed forest reserve. 1t Ia
signed by several hundred residents and
taxpayers of the county, who set forth
that this Is fertile and progressive Sec
ton of the state. being agricultural, pas
toral and mineral. and not SO valuable
for its timber as to justify placing It
within the boundaries Of the reserve.
The government cannot be too careful
when 1t comes to determining the boun-
daries OF forest reserves. It has been
conceded that the creation Of these re-
serves was demanded not only as a
means OF preserving waste of timber but
also as practical method OF regulat-
Ing the water supply and preventing both
droughts and foods. There was consid-
cradle objection to the wholesale reser-
vations made In 1895. and from no
section were the complaints more earn
est than from the state of Washington.
Vast areas were withdrawn from public
sale and use, and 1t was shown that In
many instances large tracts of agricuI-
tural land had been Included In the re-
serves when 1t would have been better to
open them for settlement and Improve
ment
The areas now reserved In this state
aggregate l2.336.791 acres. This is more
than the entire area of Connecticut. Del
aware. Maryland. Massachusetts. New
Hampshire, Rhode Island or ver-
mont. and only a little less than the
area of the entire state OF West vir-
snia. During the present year the oiym-
pic reserve was reduced 2s5.o.O acres, leav-
ing its present area 1,923.s4o acres. This
reserve originally took in good part OF
the agricultural land of Clallam county,
leaving to the settlers only a narrow
strin along the Strait OF Juan de
Fuca While the county as whole is
heavily timbered. there was much good
agricultural and pastoral back country,
and the establishment OF the reserve as
originally marked, out would certainly
have arrested the development of the
county and worked a great hardship upon
the settlers who desired to prove up on
land that was included within the re-
serve.
People like those in chelan county. who
have fears that land suitable for cuI-
tiyation. herds or focks. may he with
