To SAVE FORESTS IS WORLD-WIDE

for its life. The forest produces, yet
lives.
The Columbia regulations prohibit
the cutting of immature trees for
lumber. They must be ripe for the
harvest. The sapplings and sprouts
which will become trees, are care
fully protected. The ivory palm, the
fruit of which furnishes vegetable
ivory, must not be cut under any cir
cumstances, nor must immature fruit
be gathered. The value of this tree
Is In its fruit, not In its wood.
Colombia has several species Of
trees chiefly valuable for the bark
they produce. Peeling bark from
standing trees Is prohibited. This
prevents waste. All the trees bank
must be taken or none. The Colom-
bia government does not propose that
bark peelers in Its forests shall take
little Of the choicest bark and leave
the rest to decay, even If there may
be plenty more at present.
Forest resources In Colombia are
great. The Magdalena, and several
smaller rivers penetrate the timbered
regions and provide hundreds of
miles of navigable waters through
primeval forests which cover thou
sands Of square miles. With the rap
i'd exhaustion of timber in regions
whence the worlds supply has been
coming, lumbermen are turning their
eyes toward the forests Of South
America
The republic Of Colombia under
stands the situation and seems to be
proceeding upon the homely but ex-
cellent maxim, "Be saving while
there's plenty"
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-18

The worldwide movement for pro-
tecting forests and developing them
has reached South America. The re-
public of Colombia has promulgat-
ed a decree regulating the use of its
national forests and a translation
has been sent to the United States by
Consul ]. A. Manning Of Cartagena.
1t has been customary to consider
the forests Of the central and north
ern portions of South America as the
forests of North America were once
considered-inexhaustible. It has
been clearly shown that North AM
erica's woods were not inexhaustible,
and it appears that the business men
of South America are convinced that
theirs are not, and measures have
been taken to protect them. Colom-
bia has entered upon a forest pol
icy while it yet has plenty of tim
Der. By using 1t wisely 1t will al
ways have plenty. 1t is taking the
stitch In time"
Contractors who cut cedar and ma
hogany from public lands in that
country are required to plant young
trees of the same species in the cut
over spaces. LAUNDERING and plant
ing must be carried on side by side.
Much care is given the valuable
rubber tree In the southern repub-
lie. In Colombia"s national forests
the rubber gatherer Is required to
give the tree periods Of rest, when
he must bind up the wounds with
wax or clay to exclude the air and
prevent the wood from drying. The
size Of the incisions and their loca-
ton and number are regulated by
law. The tree is thus given chance

The East Oregonian publishes the
following rather extended item about
the sale of fine sheep ranch and
sheep business in Wallowa county, to
show to new settlers that opportuni-
ties still await willing men in every
remote corner of Oregon. The En-
| terprse News-Record says:
What is probably the largest sim
gle deal ever made in this county was
completed Monday in the office of
Daniel Boyd Of the Wallowa Law,
Land & Abstract company when
County Commissioner Sam Litch of
Alder Slope sold his Trout creek
stock ranch of 2145 acres, $500 ewes
and lambs. 23 head of horses, three
head of mules and four or five hun
dred tons of hay to C. p. Ragsdale,
the Sherman county capitalist, who
recently removed to this county.
While the exact figures have not
been given out, 1t is said the total
price is close to $4,000. The price
paid for the ewes was SIS and lambs
! SO.
The Trout creek ranch is consid-
cred one of the best large stock
ranches in the county. 1t lies along
Trout creek just north of Enterprise.
There is an abundance of living
water on the place and a large part
of the tract consists of good wheat
land
This is Mr.. Ragsdale's second large
Investment in Wallowa county land
he having bought the Caviness ranch
on Prairie creek a few months ago
for $4,000 His head foreman, Mr..
Donnelly, will reside there, but Mr.
Ragsdale and family will reside on
the Trout creek property. They are
already moving into their new home
and express themselves pleased with
1t. The personal property Is being
delivered this week. and as he
brought in with him 1000 sheep II
will be seen he has quite a sizable
band of woolly money makers.
Mr.. Litch is going to retire for a
! time from active business. though his
property interests are still very large.
Besides one of the finest farm homes
in ali Oregan, surrounded by about
400 acres of choicest Alder slope
land. he owns a good timber claim,
one third interest in the Lostine
FIGURING Mill and one-half interest
in the big merchandising house of w.
j. Funk G. Co. He holds the office
of county commissioner, and with
him the office is no sinecure: he
gives to public affairs the same un-
renting industry that he does to
his private business.
The business career of Mr. Litch
has been creditable to him and IL
Illustrative of the great resources and
opportunities in WallOwa county.
With no start a few years ago but
brains, hustle and Industry. he has
built up a big business, added thous-
ands to the wealth of the county, un-
til last year, when as commissioner
he voted a tax large enough to pay
the county debt, he as a private cit
izen paid a larger part of that tax
than anybody else in the county
Prairie Creek Ranch Sold.
Attorney D. w. Sheahan sold his
160-acre Prairie creek ranch Satur-
day, to A. H. Myers for $4,000. Mr..
Myers resides on an adjoining farm.
During the hard times 10 or IL years
ago this ranch was sold for taxes,
and like the rest of the high price
Prairie creek bottom before the water
was brought in was not considered
worth much, but is now considered
cheap at from $40 to $40 an acre.
