TIMBER OWNERS TO

Many States Now Interested in

est Danger

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Owners of
timber in various parts of the coun-
try are organizing associations to pro-
tect their holdings from fire. In the
Pacific northwest the Washington for
est fire association has just elected
officers at Seattle and begun work for
the year, with 100000 acres under it's
care. The plans include system of
patrol by rangers resembling the work
done by the United States forest serv-
ice in guarding against and extinguish-
ing fires.
Organizations of similar kind and for
a like purpose are at work in oregon
and Idaho. In the latter state a
portion of the expense is borne by
taxation and paid from the state treas
ury. A western railroad company,
which holds large tracts of timber, has
taken steps to guard its property from
nre, and during the short time that
Its plans have been in operation, it has
met with most encouraging success.
Similar work is being done on the
other side of the continent. Forest
owners in Maine have gone to work in
the same systematic way to control
the forests great enemy, fire. Like
organizations are found in other parts
or the country, showing how fully it is
now realized that protection against
fire is of the greatest Importance.
1t is. safe to say that fires in this
country have destroyed more timber
than lumbermen have cut. When tim
Der was abundant the waste passed
almost unnoticed, but now that. a
scarcity is at hand and an actual wood
famine threatens the owners of forest
lands are waking up and taking action
to save what is left.

WHERE FAIRBANKS IS STRONG
Vice President Fairbanks holds a
good strategic position. His strength
would come from the. out and out oppo-
nents of Roosevelt and Taft and this
strength might increase very rapidly if
bitter feeling should be engendered be-
fore or during the convention. While
he is on good terms with all other can
didates Fairbanks is not the second
choice of the Taft supporters He may
be. however, the second choice of that
strong element represented in the om-
nous words ."contesting delegations"
which are supposed to represent the
hard labors of Senator Foraker. The
votes already given to Fairbanks are:

banks is the only 'favorite son" who
has captured the entire delegation of
his own state. Taft has made inroads
upon Hughes in New York, Cannon in
Illinois and La Toilette in Wisconsin.
But he has made no inroads upon Fair
banks. while Foraker's inroads upon
Taft in Ohio are we'll known. If For
aker should lead the allies in break
to Fairbanks, the Indianian would have
a first class fighting chance of getting
the delegations from these contested
states:
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1908-05-03

This would nominate Cannon, allow

Taft the delegations of all states yet to
hold conventions, with the exception of
North Carolina. which is expected to.
have contested delegation, and Penn
sylvania, which is credited to Knox.
Speaker Cannon has many advan-
tages which might induce the allies to
concentrate their strength upon him.

In the states which have already held

were demonstrated that the Injunction
ought not to have been issued the
railroads shall refund to all passen-
gers and afreighters who may use
them during the existence of the re-
straining order the charge in excess
