Protest Against Timber Sales.

A protest has been filed with Gov
ernor' Peabody by the Colorado State
Forestry Association denouncing the
recent sale of timber at the headwa-
ters of the San Juan and Platte riv-
ers. 1t is claimed in the petition that
the land board has entered into tacit
agreement with the federal govern
ment to the effect that no timber is
to be sold in attitudes of more than
$500 feet without 1t first being ascer-
tained that no damage would result
to the agricultural interests of the
state. 1t Is asked that the = recent
sales be rescinded, if possible, and
that no further timber be sold from
the headwaters of the streams named.
w. G. M. Stone, president of the
State Forestry Association, expressed
his views on the subject as follows:
Our mountain forests are rapidly
depicting. The mountain streams are
steadily diminishing in their summer
flow; the demand for water is con-
stantly extending, and yet the State
Land Board was never SO beset by
lumbermen, millmen, spectators and
their political friends as at the pres
ent time. They all seem bent on one
more slice of the forests before they
disappear and the present board finds
itself unable to resist the pressure to
sell more and more timber, although
suicidal in its effect upon our water
supply.
In February last the forestry board
took up the matter and asked the
land board to desist from further SELL
ing for the time being, and also asked
it to request the government to ex-
anime the state timber and furnish
working plaas by which to Intelligent
ly adopt state lang policy in the
matter.
There negotiations resulted in the
government taking up the investiga-
tfon and in an understanding with
the supervisor of reservoirs in Colo
rado that no more sales would be
made without his knowledge and CON
currence.

 Head of the Steel Workers.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Sept 7.-Theo- dore Shaffer president of the Amal- gamated association of iron and steel workers, who has been missing from his home in Pittsburg, surprised the labor unions of this city today by appearing at the Labor day celebration. He had been announced as orator Of the day, but owing to published accounts of his disappearance Herman Robinson of New York, secretary of the New York Central Labor union, had been invited to take his place. Just before Robin son was introduced Shaffer arrived in a cab and made his way to the plat form, but he was not recognized by the crowd. He looked pale and showed signs of exhaustion.
 After Robinscn's address Shaffer was introduced. In husky voice he said: The thing l would most gladly do is to keep still and say nothing. Two years ago I made a mistake by trying to make 13,00O people hear me, and as q result of such efforts I am reduced physically. Nine months ago ] made three speeches ir one day, and : NIil not again allow people to. use me up i'll that way"
 That was all reference he made to himself, and then proceeded with evi- dent difhculty to make a brief speech. When asked to make d statement he said he was anxious to make one and arranged with reporters to meet them a the Nelson house at : o'clock tonight. He was then driven away in company with John Bradley, a prominent local labor man.
 It was found that he had not been at the Nelson house at all and q thor ough search of the city failed to reveal any trace of either Shaffer or Bradley. It is believed that Shaffer hurried away from the city.

To Repent of any Foolish

THE STATE DEPARTMENT
Has no New Suggestions to Offer-T the COlombion Government Wants an Isthman Canal There Is the Original Treaty.

Washington, D. C., Sept. 7.-The tine message from MT. Beaupre, the American minister at Bogota, acknowi- edging the receipt of Secretary Hays cablegram of August 26, stating that the Washington government would en- ter into no engagement which would hamper the presidents freedom of ac- tion under the law. This was all the cable.gram stated although it has been the basis for speculative reports about MT. Beaupre's ideas of the BogCta situation.
 The state Gepartment's attitude is one of digrified patience. No indication of its course Of action in the event that the Colombian congress rejects or amends the treaty will be forthcoming until the time for the exchange O: notifications expires, Sept. p.
 It is known at the state department that the Colombian congress is already regretting it's nasty action in rejecting the treaty, but the state department will suggest no remedy for the mis- take. Once and for all the state de- partment has announced that the treaty as approved by the Washington government was ratified by the Amer ican senate. It is up to the Bogota government to ratify that identical treaty if Colombia desires an isthmian canal.
