MEETING OF FoREsTERs.
Notable Gathering to Be Held at Fort
Collins in March.

Fort Collins.-The foresters of the
Colorado and Wyoming reserves are to
meet at the Agricultural College in an
nual convention the first week in
March Clifford Pinchot and other gov
ernment officials are booked for ad-
dresses during the sessions. which will
last several days. Secretary Taylor Of
the chamber of commerce has complet-
ed arrangements for public meeting
that week at which the guests from
Washington and some of the leaders in
the active service on the reserves are
to deliver addresses explaining the
work.
The object of the gathering is to stir
public interest in the preservation Of
the forests, especially in this region
where the need of protection TO the wa
tershed Is vital to irrigation interests.
Professors Carpenter and Paddock OF
the college will deliver addresses at the
public meeting.
The plan is to have Greeley, Love
land and other cities send representa-
tives, so that there will be wide dis
semination of the knowledge to be
gained from hearing such men as Pin
chot.
Another matter that is receiving at
tention in connection with the coming
meeting is that of forestry depart
ment at the Agricultural College. There
is but one great school of forestry in
the United States-at Ithaca, New
York, AMI this devotes its energies
chiefly to the matter of preserving the
trees of the Appalachian mountains.
Fort Collins people claim this is an
ideal location for Rocky mountain
school of forestry and are urging that
the city. as well as the college authori-
ties take up the question during the
coming convention. Colorado College
at Colorado Springs, through the kind
ness of>General Palmer. has had n for
est placed at its disposal for practical
work. but there is no chair of forestry

Our Eastern Relations.

Lowell, Mass.-In his address TO the
Lowell board OF trade Wednesday
Secretary of War Taft said:
THE possession of the Philippine
Islands and Porto Rico wields n far
greater influence among the worlds
nations than we at home suppose.
There is a great deal in the influence
of that which affects the eye. The
visit of sixteen battleships to the Pa
cific will have an excellent effect for
peace rather than for war.
We are not going about the world
with Il chip on our shoulder. We are
not hunting war. That is the last thing
that this country wants.
81 apprchend no danger from the
civilization of China, as some people
profess. The argument has been that
IL China comes into competition with
us we will be wiped out commercially.

civilized the better market they Will
