THE FOREST RESERVES.
A Western View Of the Need Of Pro.
tectfye Measures.

A Western View OF the Need Of Pro.
tectfve Measures.
The people of the Pacific States
understand perfectly well that their
future prosperity depends largely up
on the stability of the forest reserve
system. The outcry against reserves.
lin general arises from a limited class
only It is partly sincere and partly
insincere. The sincere portion arises
from ignorance Of the relation be.
tween forests on the one hand and
climate, water supply and agriculture
on the other. How dense this ignor-
ance is may be gathered from GER
tain newspaper articles, which as.
sumo that the only purpose of the
forest reserves is to promote irriga
ton.
This is really only a small part
of their purpose. Mining depends
upon them quite as much as irriga.
tion The agricultural development of
the Willamette Valley depends upon
them, and so does the navigation of
the Columbia as well as that of the
Mississippi River. The water supply
of Portland is one among many things
whose continuance is involved in the
perpetnity of the forest reserves. The
insincere portion of the anti-reserve
clamor arises from greed, that shame
less and reckless greed which would
sacrifice the future welfare of the
whole country to the immediate pro
- e<,-, 1,nu
The reserve policy does not interfere
with home making in the slightest de-
gree It is the declared purpose of
the government to open all agricul-
tural land to settlers, and the forestry
regulations permit home makers to
cut timber on the reservation for do
nestle use. It is also available for
miners, and the surplus is to be mark
eted in such way as to feed the
lumber without destroying the supply.
The whole aim and object of the re-
serve policy is to develop the States
by building homes. Those who as
sert the contrary are ignorantly or
wilfully blind to the facts. Their
anxiety for homes" is power for
INSCRIPTIONS cupidity, which would
ruin every home in Oregon and Wash
ington If it were not checked.
Irrigation and water supply aside,
we must remember that our supply
of timber cannot last much longer
! unless some OF 1t is withheld from
the market. 1t looks large, but 1t is
actually small. and it dwindles fast.
In shipping it without restraint to
foreign markets we act like prodi-
gal who squanders his inheritance.
In few years we must go begging
for what we now cast away with both
hands Wisconsin, Michigan and Min

folly of forest waste, which the gov
eminent is trying to check here be-
fore it is forever too late. Where their
