FIGHT FOREST
RESERVE POLICY
SENATOR HEPBURN OF IDAHO
OPPOSES GOVERNMENT
TIMBER SALES.
RIDtCULEs SERVICE
DECLARES WORLDS SUPPLY OF
TIMBER TO BE AS GREAT
AS 1T EVER WAS.

Washington.-Sugg an amend
which the secretary of agriculture may
give permits for the eXportation OF
timber from forest reserves, Senator
Hepburn. during the debate on the ag-
ricultural. appropriation bin Tuesday,
ridiculed a chart of the forestry divis-
ion which was swung on the wall OF
the Senate chamber. marked with
statements as to the number of years
the forests in various parts of the
country would last
The forestry division he said, was
launching into the realm of prophecy
in way that would require greater
wisdom than that possessed by the
sages of old, when it declared that n
certain section would be shorn of its
forests in twenty, thirty or forty
years. -HfE-
They forget, he said, that timber
grows. and he declared that "the sup
ply of timber is as great today as ever
in the worlds history" There was, he
said, no danger of timber famine.
Senator Smoot, taking exception to
the statement that the worlds supply
of timber was as great as ever, MIR.
Hepburn retorted that the senator
from Utah might consult the map on
the Senate wall as guide, as he pos
sessed spirit of prophecy" which he
(Mr Heyburn) did not possess.
Il can prove" retorted Mr.. Smoot,
mot by prophecy. but by absolute fig
ures. that the timber of this country
is being destroyed rapidly. and that
there is not anything like the amount
of timber in this country that there
was twenty, or even ten years ago"
Mr.. Hepburn said he objected to the
government setting up lumber yard
and selling timber. He had once read
a vivid description of the emotions of
Adam in seeing the sun go down, not
knowing that it would ever rise again.
That reminded him of the feeling Of
some people about the forests who did
not know that the forests would grow
again.
Mr.. Burkett of Nebraska wanted to
know if the senator from Idaho wished
to apply to all states with forest re-
serves the prohibition from exporting
lumber from such states. Mr.. Hey
burn said he did desire to prevent
the government from selling timber in
any state.
Reading from an opinion of the SUI
preme Court of the United States, Mr..
Hepburn declared that there is no
hysteria in that branch of the govern
ment; there are no brainstorms there.
The foresters. he said are being sup
piled with splendid yachts so they can
speed from one imaginary fire to an
other along the lakes of Idaho.
Il have seen them" he said, "lolling
around the hotels of the watering
places dressed in green, with cooked
hats, emulating the foresters of the
Black Forest of Germany"

COURT REJECTS
SHOTGUN LAW
OWNER CANNOT USE FORCE TO
PREVENT BUILDING OF
COUNTY ROAD,
REMEDY IS IN COURT
DECISION BY JUSTICE GODDARD
IN SUPREME COURT OF
COLORADO.

Denver-The use Of shotguns to pre-
vent the building of county road
across land which the owner wants to
keep is not countenanced by the SUI
preme Court opinion handed down
Monday by Justice Goddard In the case
of Philip H. Boothroyd against the
county commissioners of LarimeN
county. The commissioners once startS
ed TO build a road across land belong
ing to Boothroyd. Boothroyd objected
because he said the compensation Of
fered for the ground was too little. And
when the road overseer came to exam
inc the land he drove him off with IL
big shotgun.
The commissioners then brought an
injunction suit against him and won out
in the lower court. Boothroyd stood pat
and appealed to the Supreme Court
According to Justice Goddard, it
would have been wiser if not more
peaceful on Boothroyds part, if he
thought his rights were being infringed
upon, to appeal to the courts and not
to rely so much upon his shotgun.
"If the plaintiff in error" says Jus
tice Goddard, were sustained in his
contention, any person imagining that
his rights were being infringed upon
can, by the use of shotgun. abrogate
the statutes of the state The court i5
not prepared to announce doctrine
which will lead to any such results
The lower courts judgment is sus-
tanned.

Unjust Discrimination.

That suggestion which comes from
Cincinnati is too broad in scope, too
promising in its potentialities. to be
exhausted in the one case of Prince
Helie de Sagan. To apply the provi-
sions of the immigration laws to
merely one poor little gumdrop Euro
pean of title and not to all of them
would be invidious discrimination.
There is no doubt that most of these
would-be parties to advantageous in
ternational matrimonial contracts
come well within both the spirit and
the letter OF the laws prohibitions.
They are worse off by the millions of
their debts than the status of having
no visible means of support. 1t
shouldn't be necessary to resort to the
expedient of deportation after they
have entered the country They
should be held up when they seek to
enter. No doubt many of them would
have been held up before this had they
crossed in the steeerage instead of the
first cabin.

Afghan Army Defeated.

London.-Reports from Simla ano
Calcutta state that the Afghan army,
thoroughly disheartened with the fu
tile effort to capture the blockhouse
at Khybr pass and overrun British ter
ritory, is slowly retreating. closely fol
lowed by the English troops under
Gen. Sir James Wilcox.
Further disclosures concerning the
secret plots to destroy English resi-
dents of Ludia add to the discontinue
Some of the invaders bombs and ex-
plosives were seized by the English,
while in some quarters much litera'
ture of an anarchistic quality was
found.
1t all tends to show that con
certed attempt was made to over
throw English rule in India and estab-
lish the sovereignty of the Afghans
and the native government. The un'
successful beginning of the revolution
has put an end to an effectual upris
ing.
The central English government is
already taking steps to punish the AT
CHAN government for the presumption
OF attempting to destroy British rule
in the Orient.

Kansas is coming to the front in a
manner that speaks volumes for the
extent and variety of the public spirit
and enterprise of the Sunflower state
Kansas is great many hundreds of
miles inland and far from the custom
ary haunts OF marine monstrosities
Yet it has produced the bones of a sea
serpent, brought up from the bed of a
Kansas river. There is no sort of
doubt about the matter, for the skele-
ton of the reptile has been mounted
and is on exhibition in the paleonto-
logical department of the University
of Chicago. and If there is anything on
which that great institution OF learn
ing is an authority 1t is sea serpents
So Kansas may lay claim to a new
glory. 1t is commonplace thing to
find a sea serpent at sea, but when
such animals are resurrected far out
upon the prairie" and in a prohibition
state at that. the achievement is one
to arouse special wonder.

HaiIstorm. and caterpiIIars.

An army of 100000 caterpillars has
appeared in the Krugersdorp district,
which recently suffered severely from
\ hailstorm. Old colonists connect the
visitation with the recent fall of hail.
and they recall instances where
plaques of insects have invariably fol-
lowed a phenomenal storm. 1t is sug-
gested that the stones carry some
germ which is launched into life when
the melting process begins, and farm
ers who have penetrated deeply into
the mysteries Of the yield trace the
periodical visitations of huge swarms
of butterflies and moths and even Of
the dreaded tick to evolution Of a
germ in the hailstone deposited on the
ground. Venerable Free Staters now
resident in the district have vivid
memories of frightful storms in the
late Cos and in the early '7Os. says the
Rhodesia Herald, when similar cater
pillar plaques devastated the crops in
the conquered territory, and they also
recall the interesting fact that when
the black insects arrived the locusts
disappeared.
