the lover of nature, but by every

are disappearing. The commercial in

citizen has been detected in a plot to

an act has no music in his soul, and
perhaps the tacit admission that he

The waste OF timber has been
wicked. On the Pacific Coast parts

this growth that held the soil, and
when the trees were cut, the roots
dead, and the area burned over, the
rains washed the soil away, and there
Is no possibility of ever replacing it.
A man-made wilderness is not q
monument to genius, but to needless

In the Northwest. in Oregon and
Washington, there are great stretches
of timber yet virgin. The trees are

Careful methods would prevent ex-

FUlTON'S VIEW

Senator Fulton OF Oregon, after read

colleagues, Senator Mitchell and Repre-
sentative Hermann, made the following
statement:
The account purports to be and
assume is, a fairly complete summary
of the Governments evidence. I confess
1 am astonished that the grand jury
should have returned an indictment on
such evidence Apparently all the evil
dence against Senator Mitchell Is his

testimony OF the convict, Puter
Mitchell admits that Puter came 10
Washington with a letter OF introduce
tion from Mays and that he accompa-
MED him To the Land Cfice and urged
that the issuing OF the patents TO the
land claims should be expedited Her
