EXIT cHIeF ENGINEER WALLACE.

The country will agree with Secre-
tary Taft in his demand that John F.
Wallace resign at once from his
position as chief engineer Of the Pana-
ma canal and will coincide with
President Roosevelt in terse en-
~ fitted to the scathing rebuke
administered by Secretary Taft which
the country will read with unmixed
satisfa ction and approval.
Wallace's course appears contempt
ibly venal. His appointment as chief
engineer as concerns money, took him
from position wherein he was re-
ceivins, $4,000 a year and gave him an
income Of $4,000 annually. After tax
Ing charge of the work Wallace came
from Panama to Washington on what
appears from the published statement
to have been a hold up" mission. He
told thu secretary in effect that he had
been offered more money. That syn
dictate Of New York business men
would pay him $4,000 or 100000 a
year. Then the disappointed and dis
gusted secretary incontinently bounced
him, the president in a similar mood
emphatically approved the act of his
subordinate and a disappointed and
disgruntled public Is ready to o. K.
the proceeding.
Wallace's opportunity was one of the
greatest. in history. To build the Pam
ana canal was to carve his name inn
perishaloly deep into the face of the
isthmus, to live on while the canal
endures and the traffic of the CONT
nents pour thru it. Wallace had the
last opportunity to join two grea.
oceans. The mere magnitude of the
work and the satisfaction of such ac-
.complishment meant more than money.
His salary was a fortune every year.
His future was plain. To throw away
such prospect in the paltriness OF
greed stamps Wallace as little man
to small for his opportunities and
overestirnated by the men who lifted
him from comparatively obscure po-
sition to- command the greatest en-
cheering feat eevr projected. Mr.. Wal
lace forgot his duty to himself, his
responsibility to the country that had
honored him and the friends who had
urged his claims to preferment. He
sold out for price and despite the
delay and vexation that necessarily ac-
company his resignation the canal and
the country is we'll rid of Wallace.

a NEW PROFESSION.

Now that our timber lands have
been denuded by the lumbermen and
paper mills scientific forestry is COM
ing to the front to protect such timber
as we have remaining and to grow
new forests. Wisconsin, Michigan and
the great pine bearing tracts of the
northern middle west have been strip
ped Of their forests until lumber and
paper men are gathering the small
and scattered trees and raising the
submerged RATS and logs called dead
men" in the northern lumber woods.
The end of the paper pulp sup
ply is in sight unless other forests are
grown or some substitute for wood pulp
is discovered. Growing timber for
humber, paper pulp, ties, fence posts,
telegraph poles, ETC.. is soon to develop
into scientific industry in which large
numbers of educated and capable men
must necessarily be employed. The,
young man casting an eye over the.
congenial and profitable work will do
we'll to investigate the possibilities of
the profession of forestry.
The demand for foresters is increas-
ing rapidly both for state work and
with private owners Many states now
have forest commissions, and several
OF them have state foresters. A train
ed forester at $4,000 year and two as
sistant foresters at $1,000 each are
wanted by California. Wisconsin wants
an assistant forester at $1,000, Indiana
O foreste,. to take charge of its state
reserve, and Washington offers $1,000

other states the advisability of Great
ing the office OF state forester has been
under discussion this year, and it is
only a matter of few years when
such an official will be- considered
regular part Of an efficient state gov
eminent.
The demand for foresters by private
tip1ker owners is growing at still
more rapid rate. During the last twelve
months the bureau of forestry reports

No Annual County Institute.

At the meeting of the Depart
ment of County School Superin-
tendents in Salem, last Thursday,
it was agreed to dispense with
the annual county institute in al
most every county in Oregon for
the ensuing year.
More than $2, 600 was pledged
by the county superintendent to-
ward the educational congress at
the Lewis and Clark Fair. The
congress will be held during the
latter part of August and con-
tinue in session one week. There
fore, there will be no annual
county institute in Benton this
year.
Snpt. Denman returned from
Salem, Friday, and says that II
is his intention to strengthen his
local institutes next year. The
last legislature passed a bill Civ
ing the county superintendent
discretionary authority to- use a
portion of his county institute
fund FOR local meetings. Our
teachers should take note of the
date Of the educational congress
and make calculations to attend,

Up on the Island.

Ned Smith has just finished
the task of setting out a peach
orchard of 700 trees on his place
on the island several miles above
town. He set out more Early
Crawfords than any other kind.
He has been worried OF late for
fear he would lose a good portion
of them on account of the dry
spell. However. he declared he
would not give the country bad
name by watering the trees dur
ing March. Next year he in
tends to set out 15o or 200 more
trees.
IF you want to be entertained,
coax Ned to relate some of his
adventures with coons. He has
undertaken to educate dog in
the proper mode to kill these
varmints and some of his expe-
riences are of more than ordinary
interest. Coons are numerous
up on the island and Mr.. Smith
has reason to believe that they
are fond of chicken.
Ned states that he has about
$50, 900 feet of hardwood logs
Lying on the bank up on his place.
He was disappointed In not hav.
ing raise in the river sufficient
to raft the logs out and in all like
lihood will have to hold them un
/ til next winter.

Has He "Struck Oil?"

Something like two weeks ago
Henry M. Stone, Of this city,
discovered, in a sort of slough,
or old creek bed, that crosses his
farm in Linn county, what he
thinks is petroleum. He brought
samples to this city and had
chemists at OAC investigate the
matter. These gentlmen report
the presence of oil, but are said
to be a trife uncertain as to
whether it comes from an oil
we'll or not.
The old creek bed that ira
verses Mr.. Stones farm also
passes over the property of sever
al other land owners in Linn aud
the same signs af oil, or what
ever else it may be, are observ-
able at various points, but not Sc
plainly as on Mr.. Stones place.
Several gentlemen have accom-
panied the discoverer to his farm,
but are not positive regarding
the presence of petroleum in any
marked degree. Not only Mr.,
Stone, but many Of his neigh
bors, are sincere in their desire
to ascertain a true knowledge oi
what has been discovered and
will take steps to that end.
| Some men are of the opinion
that some sort Of mineral watel
had been discovered. At any
rate we will hope that some
thing with money in it has beer
located. V
