FARMERS CLUB MEETS
Douglas County Commissioners
Agree to Construct New Road

The Farmers Club of Southside
held a meeting Saturday night to
take in new members and receive the
report of the committee sent to Wat
rville to ask for an appropriation
to widen and make better grade
in the canyon. The committee, COM
posed of w. B. Estes, A. Jacobson
and John Donnen, received assur-
ance from the commissioners that
the road would receive all that was
necessary to make it as good as
they desired. Also that they would
act favorably on new road from
the mouth of the canyon to connect
with the canal company road from
the new bridge. A committee was
appointed to look over the ground
and obtain the most feasible route
for the new road. They will report
| to a general meeting of the club on
Saturday, March 23rd, at p. M,
at the Dry Flat school house. The
committee will have road petition
filled out at that date for the ap-
proval of the club. Eight new mem
bers were taken in at the last meet
ing.

of this territory was made during the
summer of 1905, when the timber
was mapped and the lands classified.
Less than z per cent Of the area is
agricultural. The greatest care has
been exercised in drawing the boun-
daries so as to include practically all
of the agricultural land. which in
this part Of Washington is already
quite valuable. and will ultimately
be in great demand.
The Colville contains . large guam
tity of excellent timber, including
yellow pine, fir and larch, which be-
comes Immediately available. The
higher portions have thick stands OF
Ilodgepole pine, Englemann spruce
and alpine fir. The timber will
largely be needed for local use when
the country is settled up, for it is
expected that the rich land under ir-
rigation will support heavy popu'
lation. Only a small areain this To-
cality is under irrigation at present
but many small projects are under
way, and there is every indication
that all of the streams, and there
are a great many of them, which rist
in these mountains, will be used tt

@. c. McManus Discusses Matters oi
Interest 10 Fruit Growers OF
the Valley

o. C. McManus, the Seattle rep
resentative of the Wenatchee Valley
Fruit Growers association, is in the
city today, having come over from
the Sound for few days visit with
the apple growers.
Mr.. McManus states that the COM
mission men of Seattle are UP in
arms over the Paulhamus commits
sion bill now in the legislature and
are going to fight it to a finish. The
Paulhamus bill provides that all
commission men must report to the
shipper within two days the amount
for which his produce sold and the
party to whom they were sold.
Asked as to his personal opinion
of the bill, Mr.. McManus stated that
he thought the bill was a hard one
on the commission men and it looked
as though it was going to be hard
proposition to manage. Perhaps
though said he, "Mr. Paulhamus
understands it better than we do"
In reference to the Federation OF
Fruit Growers organized in Seattle
few days ago, and to which the
local association sent delegates, Mr.
McManus is of the opinion that the
system is a good one. Said he, 81
believe that it will result in good
both for the shippers and for the
commission men. It will prevent the
glutting of the market. BY an organ
lied effort great quantities of fruit
and produce can be prevented from
/ being thrown upon the market al
/ the same time.

CHIEF PINCHOT
NOW EXPLAINS
Reason for Enlargement of Forest
Reserve Boundaries and Areas
Described

After much adverse criticism In
regard to the enlarging OF the gov
ernment reserves, Chief Forester Pin
chot. with headquarters at Wash
ington, D. c., has made the follow
ing statement in regard thereto:
Had not the president created
these additional reserves, long
time would have elapsed before the
Resembling of the congress, during
which the timber syndicates would
have as heretofore continued to COB
BILE the public timber lands, and most
people know that that has gone to
a point at which the lumber industry
of the west has passed into the hands
of a virtual trust in timber.
again, the forestry bureau pur-
poses to protect the small live stock
owner from the aggressions or the
wealthy stockman, and as in the past
to see that the settler has his rights
conserved. Most people believe that
included within these reserves are
miners and settlers whose lands are
losing their privileges. On the con-
frarv. every privately owned tract
remains exactly as it was before the
reserve was created.
''Roads will be built within the re-
serves, and in every manner possible
the bureau will assist in the develop
ment of the western country.
Remember, that deplorable condi-
tions have obtained in many respects
in the west, where large bodies OF the
public domain have passed into the
possession of greedy syndicates. We
want to prevent these things from
being possible, and shall administer
the affairs OF the bureau SO as ia
bring that to pass.
The Washington Reserves.
washington reserves created by
the March 4 proclamation were:
"Colville, 1000 acres; Washir~ =
ton additional, 200 acres; Mt
Rainier, additional, 10000 acres;
Olympic, additional, $4,000 acres
Priest River, additional, 10000
acres; total, 4,291,000 acres"
Mr.. Pinchot then went into detail
in reference to the enlargement o
the reserves.
In regard to the reserves OF spec
ial interest to this section the repor
has the following:

the production of timber and the

the production of timber and the
protection OF streams which will be
used exclusively for the generation
of power. It is for the most part
covered with heavy stand of ma
ture fir, cedar and hemlock, though
there are large areas Of barren land
apon tea higher portions.
The eastern slope is also well TIM
bered, but with timber of a different
kind, there being a great deal of
pine and larch. This portion is of
exceedingly great value for protect
ing the irrigation projects of the
Yakima, Chelan, Wenatchee, Methow
and Okanogan valleys.
The creation of this national for
est has long been contemplated and
the lands withdrawn from settlement
for several years. 1t would probably
have been created two or three years
ago had it not been for the large
amount of alienated land which.
previous to the repeal of the lieu
selection law, nigh have been used
as a base for script. Both the Great
Northern and the Northern Pacific
railroads cross the area. A great
deal of the timber, therefore, is &C
cessible and will at once come into
the market, to be cut under appro.
pirate regulations.

BOARD OF TRADE ORGANIZED
Log Cabin Democrats Sugges-
 tion Adopted.
Citizens of Conway Hold Meeting and Will Perfect Organization Next Mon
 day Afternoon.

The suggestion of The Log Cabin Democrat that board of trade be organized in this city was adopted, when at meeting of 35 or 40 leading citizens of the city Monday afternoon an organization was formed, committees appointed, !, and an adjournment taken until next Monday, when the organiza- tion will be perfected.
 The meeting was held in the Hill Fontaine building, the use of the entire upper floor of which has been rendered free to the board by the owner, Capt. w. w. Martin. Frank E. Robins acted as tem- porary chairman and w. N. Owen as temporary secretary of the meet ing.
 It was moved by Capt. Martin and the motion unanimously car ried that it was the sense of the body that a board of trade be or ganized in this city. Several gen. tlemen made short talks upon this motion and much enthusiasm seemed to prevail in the matter.
 It was then moved and carried that a committee of three be ap- pointed to draft a constitution and bylaws of the organization, to be presented for adoption at later meeting. Jo Frauenthal, G. l.. Banner and J. G. Lille were ap- pointed on this committee.
 Though the matter was not passed upon, it appeared to be the sense of the meeting that a secre- tary should be employed for all of his time by the board, and that S1 500 to $500 per year would be needed to carry on the work ot the board, this amount to be raised by membership fee, monthly dues and by voluntary subscriptions.
 On motion, w. N. Owen was appointed a committee to solicit membership and subscriptions.
 A motion then prevailed to ad- iourn until next Monday afternoon, at o'clock, at the same place. At this meeting, the committees are expected to report and final organ ization perfected.

Second Only to the Town Cow.

It is with profound regret that l have noticed the untimely death of some of Conway's noblest trees since the beginning of her career as a city with granitoid pavements (this allusion to city improvements is used merely as time gauge).
 In some instances the entire tree has not died, but most alarming blight has carried off every limb, even to the topmost bough, leaving only unsightly stubs, reminding one of cross arms on telegraph pole. Realizing what loss must be felt by the owners of city prop erty on which these monarchs, Gods most lavishly beautiful gift to Conway, once stood, l take the liberty to refer those who may have sustained such loss to an ar ticle ln the April 20 number Of the Literary Digest, wherein new and valuable ideas are given for the prolongation of the lives of our forest friends. Doubtless this scien- tifc treatment would often preserve the life of trees just on the verge of decline near granitold pave ment; but it is greatly to be feared that in the instance of the tele- graph pole, no science, however true, could again produce the low, spreading branches akin to those of the Cedars of Lebanon.
 We are justly proud of our hand. some walks, but even above and beyond these, are natures gifts, which far excel in magnlhcence the works of man.
