PRESERVE
THE FORESTS
Policy Of Government is
Outlined

Many have a mistaken conception OF
the policy of the government IN es-
tablishing national forests. 1t is not
for the purpose of preventing the cut
ting of timber, but rather to ehcour-
age and foster it under government
supervision. All lands in the national
forests are Withdrawn from entry and
nut under the care of forest ranger.
The timber on them. when ready for
cutting. is sold by the government to
any person who desires to purchase,
but it must be cut according to gov
eminent direction. This saves the
small trees, requires the proper clear
ing of the underbrush, careful dis
position of the slash, and guarantees
he perpetuation Of the forest.
At the present time nearly four fifths
IF the forests of the United States
have passed. or are likely TO pass into
private ownership. the national for
ests comprising the other one-tif h.
The average age of the trees now being
cut for lumber is about $50 years. In
order to secure a second crop of TIM
Der of the same size. the owner would
be compelled to wait fully 100 years for
the second crop to mature. AS rule
such long time investments as this
waiting would involve do not commend
themselves to business men who are
accustomed to quick returns. But
the states and the nation can look
much far her ahead. The larger, then.
the area of national and state control
over woodlands, the greater is the like
lihood that the forests of the country
will be kept permanently productive.
Lumbermen in the United States are
cutting four times as much lumber
each year from the forests of the
country as nature is supplying. The
average American uses some 400 feet
of lumber each year, as against but
60 feet used by his European neigh
bors. Lumber prices are just twice
as high as they were in 1900, and the
tendency is sill upward. Men in the
lumber business are beginning to look
az the problem seriously. The federal
forest reserves as recently increased
by President Roosevelt comprise an
area greater than the total area Of the
republic of France or the German en-
pire in Europe, each supplemented by
the Netherlands: but even with these
precautions the most careful and con-
sentative estimates show that the
lumber supply will be practically ex-
hausted in from 80 to 40 years.

NORTH COAST A REALITY.

1t is beginning to look as if the
North Coast road is more than rail-
road on paper and promises made by
President Strahorn. that Walla Walla
is to be one of the main terminals,
seems in a fair way to be fulfilled. Pro-
vided the North Coast road is indie
pendent of the Hartman and Hill in
terests, 1t matters Little who is behind
President Strahorn so long as the road
is built and Walla Walla and the In
land Empire receives the advantage
of competing freight rates. Ever since
the road was first projected, consid-
cradle mystery has surrounded the
identity of the people behind it, but
by railroad men is that the North
Coast is destined to furnish the Chi
cago & Northwestern an outlet to the
Pacific coast from its present termin
doubleday mean that Walla Walla is
TO be on the main line Of this big
trahscontinental road. In this event It
is hard to est mate the advantages that
would accrue to this section of the
state and Walla Walla in particular. A
transcontnental road means more
people. This means that the natural
fertility of the soil will call for small
er tracts and more intensified farming
instead of big wheat farms, now the
rule. With more people comes more
manufacturing concerns. more stores.
tons, truly a bright outlook for Wal
la Walla.

Hatfield Promises More Rain.
From the Condor Times.

FROM the COnOOn lines.
There has been quite bit of diff
ference of opinion as to whether Hat
field the rain maker over in Wasco,
should get the credit for the large
amount of rain with which the whole
country was blessed during the late
wet SPELL AS great deal of the Pa
cific coast was visited by the raiLy
spell and as the conditions were pre-
dicted by the forecaster at the Port
land station, it is generally believed
that the rain was the natural course OF
events. However Hatfield has prom
isei the people of Wasco occasional
showers and as he must give six inches
of rain to fill his contract, we can all
rely on some weather for our crops.
Hatfield claims to have the climatic
situation we'll in hand and is certain
he will fill the bill.

of an earnest exhcrtation which he

q subsequent conversation with his
hostess. This woman was 4 pillar
of the church, and known for her
philanthropy and sele-sacriice in aid
ing the cause of religion. She talk

c0InRs

It is the fashion nowadays to have
a name for everything, colors includ-
ed.
The leading colors this season are
Taupe. a soft, dark gray.
Russian green, not unlike the old
fashioned bottle green.
Hyacinth, a blue with a decided pur-
pie tinge. Jacqueminot, which is al
most a magenta.
Vesuvius, a deep yellow Verte en-
pire, another name for emerald green.
The leather shades are merely
golden browns under another name.
Other colors masquerading under
new names are national blue, for
years known as Yale blue, and Bord-
eaux, which has heretofore been wine
color.
Fish green is simply a new name for
the alligator and serpent greens,
while elephants breath is gray with
a brownish tfnge.

When the troops arrived at Waha-
LAX they found the little town in q
fever of excitement over the clash be-
tween the races earlier in the day
Colonel McCants, the commander
Of the Second Regiment, vas in
formed that the negroes had fortified
themselves two miles from Wahalak,
and q party of. soldiers went out to
dislodge them, but when the troops
arrived on the scene the blacks had
disappeared. Two negroes we're
killed lear Wahalak by whites, but
no further trouble occurred there
during the night or next morning.
All of the negroes in that section
had either fed or secreted them
selves in their homes, and believing
the, trouble at an end, Colonel Nc
CAMS returned to Meridian with the
soldiers.
At. night rioting broke out at 5000
ba, a town in the same county, five
miles south of Wahalak, as a result
Of which five negroes were killed.
The Sheriff of Kemper County was
unable to control the situation and
