TAFT PROVES AN
ATTRACTION
At FAIR
No Handshaking This Time
Inspected Exposition.
BY ROBERT n. HAZARD

BY ROBERT II. HAZARD
SEATTLE, Sept. 30.-President
Taft is boosting the Alaska Yukon
exposition today. The biggest
crowd on record showed the expo
sition promoters that they made no
mistake with the president as a
drawing card.
The president arose early, cor
recting the manuscript of the
speech he delivered later at the
exposition grounds. He retired last
night tired out. He would not have
reached his bed till IL o'clock If he
had not resolutely curtailed extra
stunts.
Yale men greeted and banqueted
Taft, but the president spoke only
two minutes and retired early.
Today the program began at
9:15, when Taft visited the exposi
ton, inspected the buildings, rode
around the grounds and delivered a
speech. This evening he will be en-.
tertained by Governor Hay at din
ner.
f. The president was surrounded
closely and there was no hand
shaking. for fear a repetition OF
the Mckinley tragedy at the Buff
falo exposition.

President Taft of the United

Monday night, prior to the arrival
of the president. The mediums APP

Immediately got his friends busy In
opposition to Powell, on the ground
that Powell was hostile to him, and
the result was that POWELL learned

as inspector of Fights and meas

outside sources for her wood supplies. But the
constantly increasing demand for wood together
with the ovcrdrain already made upon these
sources, indicates world shortage of wood un-
less those countries which have to import
are able to establish and maintain their forest
independence and grow the needed wood at
home. Most Of the countries of Europe have
taken care to keep up the home wood output oy
looking after their forests before they were
destroyed or hopeessly depleted and managing
them for sustained annual yield about equal to
the demand. The British Isles however are
practically stripped of productive forests II
Great Britain is to grow her own wood, she will
have TO begin at the beginning set out the seed
lngs on treeess ground. and wait for them TO
reach marketable size. The Commission recon-
mends that this work of starting future national
forests from the seed be undertaken "as a sound
and remunerative investment"
There is no question, the report says, that sub
stantially the anticipated results be obtained.
Experts testified before the Commission that
"the production of timber in Great Britain will
be more rapid than in Saxony" which
lected for comparison on account of the close re-
semblance between the economic and physical
conditions in the two countries Yet in SaXony
the net annual profits per acre from the national
forests has increased AZ per cent. in 90 years,
mainly, ii testified, because of THE more
systematic and careful management" The lack
of forests in Great Britain is the result not OF
natural conditions, but of bad national economy.
This is further proved by the fact that there are
a number of private forests which, though but
indifferently managed, are netting their owners
handsome revenues.
The proposal of the commission is especially
interesting to Americans in view of the fact that
the measures that are now being proposed in the
United States are so much simpler and less ex-
pensive. In this country the forests already
on the ground. All that is pecessary is to bring
them to a state of full productiveness. The
present annual production of forests in the
United States is scarcely more than twelve cubic
feet per acre Of all kinds of wood. The centuries
Of experience in Saxony Switzerland and France
show that the same kind of land will grow three
to eight times as much wood under wise forest
management Protection and proper cutting be-
gun now and steadily followed a policy will
keep America from reaching point, where like
Great Britain it will be necessary, except IN the
prairie region to start the forests of the future
from the seed, and wait for them to grow.
A 1.-THE of the great outlay which the British
Commission contemplates would easily guaran-
tee this country's forest independence for all
time And the wood needed each year could be
got out of the forests right along
