PRESERVATION OF FORESTS.

The Old Bay State Is Now Taking the
Initiative.
The preservation of the. forests IS
problem second to none in present Inn
portance and in its outlook toward the
future Without trees our country
would be desert. and the rapid dem
udation of our New England hills is
already beginning to have its effect
upon our streams and rivers and upon
our. water supply. The invention of
wood pulp paper and the rapid exten-
sion of the industry throughout the
country. together with the increase of
newspaper circulation. have stimulated
the destruction of the forests to such
a degree that steps are already being
taken to preserve them before. it is too
late.
Congress has attempted to take
hand in the matter. but so far with
little avail. and it now remains for the
Individual states affected to see what
they can do. The first step would seem
to be the development of paper making

cornstalk fiber, instead of from the
slowly rising tree, which cannot be re-
placed except after years of renewal
and growth.
AS was to be expected, Massachu-
setts is taking the initiative. To the
governors Of the other five New Eng
land states Governor Guild has sent
out request for a conference, and it
will be held at the Algonquin club
in Boston on the 14th of September.
The six governors will then confer and
deliberate over the best means to be
taken for the preservation of our for
ests. and it Is probable that arrange
ments will be made for the calling of
a New England business conference at
some time Immediately following the
presidential election. If 1t should be
held, says Governor Guild In his letter,
it should come at that time ''fn order
that its work might not be confused
with the politics of the presidential
campaign" One of the especial OBJ

nevertheless, must be reckoned
on if the Democracy is t. have

PRACTICAL ROSE CULTURE.

There is no other locality in
Oregon more favorable for the
perfect growth of almost all va
rieties of roses than right here in
Corvallis, and it is a source of
satisfaction to know that the resi-
dents of this city both understand
and appreciate this fact. Every
yard, almost, has its wealth of
fragrant beauties, and the out
look is for many more to be
planted next spring, the hum
dreds of new residences built this
year all having lawns ready for
improvement. -
In this connection an authority
on rose culture has the following
advice to offer, and it is worthy of
careful consideration and adop-
ton:
It must be understood by those
who plant roses, however, that
the planting is only the initial
step in rose growing. Of course.
in this favored climate and soil
rosebushes will grow and bloom
even if neglected, but to get the
best, or even good results, they
must be +fertilized, pruned,
sprayed and cultivated industri-
eusly and intelligently. The
woman who, while having a few
minutes of spare time, pulls off,
mechanically as it were, the faded
rose petals and seed pods from
her 'neighbor's rosebush, is one
who may be depended upon to
look after her own rosebushes
and get the best out of them.
Strictly speaking, it is not worth
while to plant rosebushes unless
one is sufficiently interested in
them to take good care of them
in season, mulch them out of
season and keep careful eye on
them at all seasons. No other
plant responds more gratefully
to intelligent care and none shows
neglect more plainly than does
the resebush. Plant them, there
fore, if you intend to care for
them. but save your time and
money and the rose lovers feel
ings if you imagine that planting
is all, and stop at that i,

The First Potatoes.

Sir Walter Raleigh, who shares with
Sir Francis Drake the honor of first
introducing the potato in England,
lived at Bri1ton. England, near Eliza
beth's House. Formby. in Lancashire,
also claims the honor of being the site
of the first culture of the potato in that
country. They are said to have been
grown there by Formby man who
sailed with Sir Walter.
The earliest cultivation of the potato
in the British islands was probably at
Yougha1, on the south coast of Ireland,
where this great navigator had an es-
tate,
1t has been generally accepted that
the potato was taken to Europe from
Virginia and that it was cultivated
there by the natives. Sir Joseph Banks
and De Condelle both lent the weight
of their authority to this view, but it
has been ascertained that the Indians
of Virginia, though they used number
of tuberous roots, did not know our DO
tato
One of these was the plant sometimes
grown as an ornamental climber in our
gardens and called by botanists Apios
tuberoSa. The Indians called the roots
potatoes, and the French Canadians
knew them as pommes de terre, and
our potato, being a native of South
America, was scarcely likely to be
known to the Indians of Virginia.
Yet the potato was undoubtedly
introduced in England as part of the
cargo of one of Sir Richard Grenville's
ships and landed at Plymouth, and the
ship had gone direct from Virginia and
called nowhere on the way. On the
voyage home. however. it had encoun-
tered and captured q Spanish ship from
Santo Domingo. The potatoes were a
part Of the cargo of the latter vessel.

UNCERTAIN GAME LAWS.

Every session of the Oregon
Legislature sees a multitude Of
bills introduced for the purpose
of amending the game and fish
laws in one way or another to
suit the ideas of people who think
existing provisions are not as
they should be. AS a result of
frequent and sometimes careless
amendment the laws have become
quite uncertain in some respects,
as indicated by the fact that in
his last edition of the game laws
the Secretary of State found it
necessary to print a foot note
after some sections saying, "This
section seems to have been re-
pealed by implication by section
Whenever a game bill comes up
for consideration there are always
a number of members of the
Legislature who ask to have their
counties excepted from the pro-
visions of the law. AS a result

LOOKING FOR A LEADER.

Political gossip at the national
capital is all centered upon the
coming leader of the Democracy.
The general opinion is that if the
Democratic party is to rid itself
of Bryan it must develop a new
leader in the next four years.
This new leader, to be successful,
must be able to reunite the party,
for until the Democracy is again
one harmonious body it will
achieve no greater ssccess than
has come to it in the last four
campaigns.
There are Democrats in Con-
gress who might develop into
strong party leaders; there are
others recently elected Governors
of their states who give much
promise, and still others who are
not particularly in the public eye.
But there is not one among the
number who is pre-eminently of
such caliber as to justify him in
rising at the present time and
proclaiming himself the new
leader of the Democracy.
The claim was matte by several
Bryanites that the Democracy in
the late campaign was united.
Such a claim was absurd on its
face. Otherwise, what would
account for the handful of Demo
cratic Governors in states that
cast their electoral votes for Taft?
1t was disruption in the Demo
cratic party-dissatisfaction with
Bryan. as much as anything else,
that caused these states, or some
of them, to support the Republi-
can national ticket. ....
Nothing could be more absurd
than to assert that the Democracy
of New York state, for instance,
was united in the last campaign.
1t was as badly disrupted as it
has been since the days of Cleve-
land. The same situation is. true
in other Eastern states. and even
in the South the party was far
from united. as evidenced by
dwindling democratic pluralities
in states that have never cast a
Republican vote for President.
There is proof in abundance that
the Democracy of today is not
united.
At a hasty glance it would seem
that the most prominent men Of
the Democracy are not now in
Congress. Glancing over the
membership of both bodies, only
two or three names catch the eye,
and there is serious question if
any among them would fill the
bill-unless they develop wonder
fully during the next few years.
There is Senator Culberson of
Texas and Senator Daniel of Vir-
ginia who were both mentioned as
possible nominees this year, and
either would have been accept
able to a large element of the
conservative Democracy. But
Culberson's geographic location
was ured against him last spring,
and would be again; the same
also was true of Senator Daniel.
Yet the time may come when the
Democratic party may make up
its mind that it is good politicts
to nominate a Southern man for
President. 1t was shown at the
recent election that the Democ-
racy, under Bryan's leadership,
is losing it's old-time grip on the
South.
In the House there is no Demo- |
crat who is a shining example. !
Perhaps the most luminous Dem
ocratic member of that body is
Champ Clark of Missouri, pre-
destined to become leader of the
minority. If the Democracy ever
wanted an honest, plain-spoken,

Wilmington Pastors Object.

The Wilmington Methodist Preachers
Association is waging an active war on
the merry Widow" hat. At the week
ly meeting of the clergymen in Union
Church almost the entire session was
occupied with discussion on the latest
feminine headgear. The matter was
brought up by Rev. DIR. kellogg, pastor
of Grace Church, the wealthiest of the
denominations in Delaware. Both DIR.
Kellog and Rev. Mr.. Stephenson, pastor
of Scott Church, placed themselves on
record as being strongly opposed to the
new hats, because the large brims pre-
vent other worshipers from even see
ing the preacher.
They declared that if women persisted
in wearing the Merry Widow" hats
men would refuse to attend the services /:
they would become tired Of seeing
nothing but hats.
The discussion was long. but the
matter did not come to vote. The
understanding was reached however.
that female worsbipers wearing these
hats must remove them upon entering
the church in order to give the men a
chance.
The affair created more interest than
any meeting of the clergymen for
months.
