Spare that tree! There is not tree
of any variety In the United States
which should be cut down unless there
is an apparent and immediate necessi-
ty for its destruction. There are few
pieces of wooded land west Of the
Rocky mountains which will not soon
be worth more as they are now than
II cleared and under cultivation. Data
furnished by the agricultural depart
ment, and from other sources reliable
in details furnished. show that THU. Is
absolutely the case. Estimates made
show that the hardwood timber Of the
United States viii be practically ex:
hausted within the next 1e years. The
same estimate, with heightened time
for destruction, applies to timber OF
other kinds.

For County Judge.

J. q. VanOrsdel, candidate for
County Judge of Polk County, Oregon,
on the Democratic ticket, to be voted
for at the primary on the 18th Of April,
1908, submits the following platform /:
First. 1 will advocate good roads
and fair distribution OF the road tax.
1t is not just to collect taxes from the
outlying districts, aud not give the
taxpayer his share OF the road work to
make it more convenient for him to
reach market.
Second. No waste Of public money !;
strictest economy consistent with
good administration Of county affairs !;
a square deal and good treatment for
every one.
Third. will try, II nominated and
elected, to work in harmony with the
County Commissioners so far as 1
think Is for the good Of the people.
Fourth. Should the voters OF Polk
County decide that I am the proper
person 70 fll the Office Of County
Judge, I will give to the management
OF the business OF the County the
same energetic and careful attention
that l have given my own business.
Fifth, IbelIeve In the Direct Pri-
mary. 1 think this is one Of the
agencies in the hands Of each elector
10 bring the government nearer to the
people, and take It out Of the boss
rule" " giving us "a government Of the
people. BY the people and for the
people"
I will say In conclusion that I
served the people Of this county from
1888 10 1904 as sheriff. and you can
look into my record, and IL found
wanting, you can turn me down the
same as you should any man that was
unfaithful 10 his trust

Pa says, ga good cook, good wife
and good job will make good home
anywhere" Lots Of men who are
used to getting one dollars worth of
food for five-dollar bill down town,
expect their wives to get five dollars
worth of groceries for aone-dollar bill
and save the change toward buying
their cigars. There's no place in the
town where you can make your money
go any farther in buying groceries of
first quality than at Loughary's. The
boss never buys what is called the
second cut" of anything. II any
article is shipped to US and upon
examination it fails to stand the most
searching test, the boss comes up with
the marking pot and writes "23" on
the package and back it goes to the
shipper.

COURT MAKES RULINGS
FAVORABLE TO HYDE

WASHINGTON, April 2s.--In the
land fraud trial today Justice Stafford
decided series OF questions OF evil
dence which were argued by the at
torneys yesterday. The court held that
certain documents of the general land
office offered by the government to
show how base lands were secured by
the defendant, Hyde. could not be 'ad-
mitted on the ground that there was
no evidence as yet indicating fraud.
The court also refused to admit evil
dence which the government intended
to introduce through the testimony of
Judge Barnes, to the effect that Hyde
had been engaged in fraudulent prac-
tices against the government under a
former law. The court. however, ad-
mitted evidence through Schneider's 8
own statement that Schneider partici-
pated in the alleged conspiracy within
three years previous to the finding of
the indictment.
Two score letters were read to the
Jury by Special Attorney General puSh
In an effort to show that the guild
ing hand of Hyde was behind all i'm
portant moves to create forest reserves
In California. The letters were writ
ten by Hyde to Benjamin Allen. for
nerly forest supervisor of California
who was placed on the stand to iden-
tify Hyde.
