FORESTRY AND IRRIGATION.

The question of forest reserves is |
questions which come before the citi-
zens Of large portion of the United
States. In portions of the west and
northwest. where the very life Of ag
riculture depends upon the possibilit-
les Of irrigation, the preservation Of
the forests is Of vital Importance. as
agriculture extends in these sections
the conflict of interest between the
farmers upon one hand and the lum-
bermen and cattle men upon the other
hand becomes more and more acute.
The recent extension of the Yellow
stone forest reserve has occasioned
loud protests from cattle men, who
claim that the extension has interfersd
with the pasturing of cattle and sheep,
and thus greatly retarded the live stock
/ interests. The discussion between the
opposing interests wakes warm at
times.
| An editorial in the Sun published at
E,Saratoga. Wyo., gives in few words
the attitude Of those who are opposed
to the invasion Of the forest lands by
the live stock interests. Says the
= Sun:
The government is not going to al
low the reserves to be turned into pas.
ture lands for the benefit of stockmen.
The government is setting aside these
reserves for the purpose Of preserving
the timber on them, In order to hold
the snow to make water for irrigation
purposes, to carry out the great plan
1naugurated when the irrigation bill
was passed. The government and ev-
tery sane person recognizes the fact
that it is the man who builds ditch -
6and plants alfalfa, grain and vegeta-
tbles that is the bone and sinew Of the
acountry, and it is for the home maker
that all this forest reserve and irri
cation work is being done and not TO,

WONDERFUL WORK
Lots Like 1t Being Done Right Here
In Astoria,


Astoria people are surprised at tbs
work being done by THE Little Con-
querer." Public expression on the SUBJ
ject brings the matter frequently be-
fore the people. AT first there We're
many doubters and why not? SO many
claims of a similar nature have been
made with little or no backing, except
ing the word of some stranger residing
in far-away place; this evidence was
accepted for lack Of better. Not neces-
sary to accept it any longer. All suf-
ferers from any kidney i'll can find pl-
enty of local endorsement for rem
edy that viii cure them. Surely the
wonderful work Of Duan's kidney pills
right here at home is proof sufficient
to satisfy any skeptic. Read the ex-
preston Of Portland man on the sub
ject:
j. Carson employed at the Portland
Lumber company, foot of Lincoln street
Portland. who resides at 500 First ST..
says: Il was feeling miserable with a
depressing lameness around the small
of my back all last summer. At first
did not pay much attention to it, but
1t continued to grow worse and finally
became 50 bad that thought / would

1t is singular that so radically diff
ferent deductions can be made from the
ex-presidents statements as to whether
he would or would not accept the NOM
nation for fourth time. Some say
he is angling for It in an ardent man
ner. The Call gives the situation as
this:
The best Judgment of men closest
10 ex-Presiient Cleveland is that he
viii not take another nomination. II
would mean defeat, anyway. and he is
not the sort of man that likes to
round out public career by seeming
to seek something that he cannot get.
'The next convention win be organic
ed by the present national committee,
and recent canvass of that body
shows only three members in favor of
the ex-president. II bitterly against
him, and eight firmly sitting on the
fence. Those opposed are extremely
bitter IN their remarks. They include
the whole southern membership. while
the three who are favorable represent
New York, Montana and North Da-
kota. The opponents made themselves
as extensively uneomplimentary as the
language will permit and be fit to print.
'sThis poll of the committee reveals
something more than the state of opin-
ion as to Mr.. Cleveland. 1t discloses
the irreconcilable nature of the internal
conflict Of the party. As success is
hopeless anyway it is evidently the
intention of the leaders and followers
to utilize the occasion for grand war
drill and an internecine conflict. As

them they win have it out on each
other.
The factions are by no means equal
" divided. The Bryan contingent is
greatly in the majority and has the ad-
vantage of organization and training.
They are set in the determination of
having their way and will have it, even
at the risk Of letting the republicans
have all of the northern and several of
the border states. No one viii object
to their program. If they are wise,
both factions would quit and support
President Roosevelt. That hundreds
Of the rank and file will do this is al
ready apparent. But the south must
have candidate to vote for, and any
body will do as it is mere formality
necessary to hold that solidarity which
that section regards as required for
its peace of political mind"
