Cook Scores Pinchot.

Washington.-In the closing debate
in the House on the agricultural bill,
Representative Cook challenged the
statement recently published by For
ester Pinchot that the receipts of his
bureau are in excess of the eXpendi-
lures. He cited the testimony of MI.
Pinchot before the agricultural com
mittee that expenses of his bureau for
the year ending June so, 1907, were
SG4 900 in excess of the receipts.
He predicted that the receipts for
the current year would not show an
increase, as predicted by Pinchot, but
on the contrary, would show a de-
crease on account of the inactivity in
mines usually using large quantities
of timber. Mr.. Cook said further that
the price placed on mining timber by
the bureau, $5 per thousand, is unreas-
enable and excessive.
He called attention to the arbitrary
ruling of the bureau requiring mining
companies purchasing timber to cut
and remove it from the forests within
year. In closing he said:
Now what we want in Colorado in
the management of the forest bureau
is less sentiment and more practicable
ity, fewer Harvard graduates and rough
riders and some practical lumber and
millmen who know something about
the business from experience, and that
the forestry bureau shall comply strict
ly with the law"

NEXT BATTLE COMMERCIAL.
Admiral Evens Prophecies Great Pa
cific Developments.

San Francisco.-Admiral Robley ID.
Evans in an interview printed in the
Chronicle Sunday, said:
The greater interest of the United
States today is in the Pacific. The COM
ing of the fleet to this coast has not
only demonstrated to the world that
we have sixteen battleships. which can
be brought together for a long cruise at
a moments notice, but 1t has called the
attention of the people Of our own
country TO the fact that we have Pa
cific coast as well as an Atlantic coast.
and that 1t will be defended just as
much as every inch of land around New
York, and that our interests in the Pa
cifc are. greater today than In the At
lantic.
This is the short road to countries
of the far East. where the greatest COM
mercial development is to be. With de-
velopment will come war, but 1t will be
a commercial war, fought with brains
and dollars, and not with 10-inch guns.
1t will be generated by such men as
Hartman, and the part of the navy is
always ready. We do not plan nor
fight commercial battles.
"The coming of the fleet was most
opportunely timed by the President,
and its arrival in the Pacific has re-
suited in the present assurance of
peace. Not that | ever believed that
there was any actual danger of war.
The people of both countries realized
too well what a dreadful calamity
such war would have been.
"If the navy should ever be called
upon to fight in the settlement of our
interests in the Pacific 1t would be to
stop with its guns the commercial de-
velopment for which the leaders of in
dustry are battling with brains and
dollars.
I'VE accomplished much for the
cause of peace in the Pacific when We
demonstrated that the efficiency of the
fleet increased with each day of the
cruise. When the fleet sailed through
the Straits of Magellan into the Pa
cific the ships were in better condition
and better prepared for action than
they were the day we sailed. That was
proved by the target practice at Mag
dalena bay. and the records of that
practice. which are the most satisfac-
tory, will show it."
