safely through this period of shortage,
and. when it is past and new forest
growth comes to maturity, to show us
the way in a fashion we shall then
heed better than now, to a policy OF
ordinary business foresight.
Besides the timber, the l40,OOO,OD
acres of national forest hold the wa.
ter sources upon which every impor'
tant irrigation project in the west
is forced to rely for success. bitches,
no matter how well dug, cannot sup
ply farm land with water unless they
have reservoirs on which to draw. Ar.
tificial reservoirs, no matter how cost
ly or we'll planned, cannot themselves
store water unless the water is first
fed to them by the forested noun
tains and slopes from which, either
first or last, all disable water must
come. Whether forests bring more
rainfall we do not know nor need to
know What we are sure Of is the
control of the forest over the given
rainfall If the forest goes, the wa.
ter goes with it, so far as use is
concerned. Naked hills harbor no
springs; they gather and then dis
charge upon the valleys only the
| worse than wasted floods which leave
ruin.
But there is a third natural re
source over which the national forest
stands as custodian-the grazing

the summer range" without which
to round out the spring and winter
ranges on the loWlands, the millions
of sheep and cattle Of the western
country would starve, with unspeak.
able loss, in a single year. Only for
a little over single season has the
grazing on the national forest ranges
been restricted. under permit, to con.
serve for the live stock industry this
INDISPENSABLE summer pasturage.
! Stock do not have to be excluded ex.
cept where it is necessary to give a
stretch of young forest the chance to
make a clean start. But overcrowd
ing is checked, the different needs OF
sheep men and cattle men, of small
owner and large owner, are carefully
studied and supplied, and no consld
Grafton but the good growth OF the
forest outweighs the claim of the
herds.

Cntil recently the United States
practically ranked with China in for
st affairs, for neither of these coun-
tries had taken steps TO care for the
forests as every other civilized ma
ton has done. Meantime the pro
.ressive modern nations had forged
far to the front in this regard. Tur-
key, Greece, Spain. Portugal, had
given attention to their forests, and
Japan had developed a forest service
and national forest school. In
Australia. Italy, Norway and Sweden
forestry had become part of the ma.
ional life, while Russia was drawing
enormous revenues from government
woodlands. Germany, the leader in
The science of forestry, France, with
It's perfected system of forest prac-
ice. and Switzerland, offered practi-
ral examples for our emulation and
initiation. Australia and New Zea-
and had made important advances,
while in Canada, at the Cape of Good
Hope, and in British India the Eng
fish had shown us the way to solve
many of our forest problems. The
United States, as if surrounded by a
Chinese wall, alone was at stand
still.
The great western forests are the
irst of the three chief natural re
sources of the public lands for which
policy at all commensurate with the
new requirements has been framed
and put in force. If we have been
behind other civilized countries, and
even some uncivilized countries, in
this provision for the future, there
is every reason to believe that we
are now making up for lost time and
that the United States is destined
to become leader among nations
Partly because we are, as a peo

are satisfied with houses Of wood, nc

because We move so rapidly and are

CATIONS HAVING THEIR ATTEN-
TIONS ATTRACTED TO ISLANDS.

The systematic work of the Hawaii
an Promotion Committee in advertis-
ing the Territory throughout the Uint-
ed States, is bringing results in evil
dence at least that much interest ana
attention is being attracted. Through
the carefully prepared letters of Sec
rotary H. p Wood, addressed to the
commercial bodies in cities and towns
in every part of the United States, the
advertising matter of the Committee
has been given much prominence, and
almost invariably receives on its mer-
its hattering comment in the columns
of the local papers, which of course is
the very best of advertising, and costs
nothing. The following from the Rap
id City (South Dakota) Union is a fair
sample of the kind of attention and
comment which the advertising is
commanding:
THE Rapid City Business Mems
Club, through it's secretary, Grenville
Jones, is not only attracting the at
tention of promoters of many cities OF
the United States, Canada Cuba, Por-
to Rico and Mexico, but the Hawaiian

possessions as well. Mr.. Jones is a
man of superior attachments and the
Rapid City Business Mems Club for
others congratulate themselves in hav-

ity as secretary of their progressive
organization.
"The last correspondence received by
Mr.. Jones was accompanied by a beau

SALVATION ARMY
At CENTRAL UNION
COLONEL FRENCH TELLS THE
CHURCH CONGREGATION OF
GREAT WORK OF THE ARMY.

At the Central Union church last
night Colonel George French. Provin-
cial officer of the Salvation Army. gave
a very interesting address on the work
of the Salvation Army.
Colonel French said that the work Of
the Army had been going on for forty
three years, and had branched out to
fifty countries and colonies. having a
total of 1000 officers and 1000 regi-
ments or corps The work of the Sal
walton Army knows no creed or race
and the work is increasing every year.
The Army has a number of institu-
tons, caring for the people they work
among. On an average it cares for
25OOO people nightly and also feeds
on an average 10000 people a day.
When the Army was started forty-five
years ago General Booth, the founder.
was scoffed at, ridiculed and persecut-
ed, but in spite of all that has lived to
see the work of his life crowned with
success and glory. In the last few
years he has been presented and
granted interviews with the King and
Queen of England, and only recently
was presented to the Emperor of Jap
an In Japan his trip was one great
triumph, Princes, governors and the
common people showing him the great
est homage and respect. The Univer-
sity of Oxford has just lately confer
red the Degree of Doctor of Laws on
General Booth, showing the great re-
gard that they have for him. Colonel
French spoke of General Booth as the
greatest living exponent of Christian
ity The Colonel in closing his adj
dress. hoped that the work of the Army
would continue with the same success
as in the past, that his one prayer
should be that the great Army of
Christian soldiers here on earth should
join at last in one grand triumphant
march to be enrolled in the great Ar
my of soldiers who had gone before
and who had fought in the good fight.

BEGINS
HIS INQUIRIES
OF COMMERCE AND
LABOR ASKS RAILROADS FOR
MEXICAN BORDER DATA.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-lhe
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Rail
roads have been asked by Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Straus to fur
Mss him with data as to the number
of Japanese they have carried during
the past eighteen months from points
in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
near the Mexican border. For many
months the Bureau of immigration has
had inspectors in Mexico watching the
trend of Japanese immigration. Ac-
cording to reports received here as
well as in Washington, it is perfectly
evident that hundreds tof Japanese
laborers who arrive in Mexico have
no intention of remaining in that coun-
try, but regard it merely as a stopping
place en- route to the United States
1t is not believed by the immlgra-
ton authorities that the japanese gov
eminent is a party to this evasion OF
the laws as it has discouraged immi-
grafton to the United States in every
possible way. Thousands of Japa-
nese laborers are known to be in Mex
leo merely awaiting an opportunity to
cross the border into America. The
border is about 1000 miles in extent,
and as it cannot be adequately covered
by the immigration inspectors, the
smuggling of Japanese into this coun-
try is comparatively easy task.
