Prisoner Put Coming Gastronomlc Joy
Ahead Of a Brief Period
of Liberty

A colored man from Georgia had
lived in Washington but a few years
when he was arrested for some slight
violation of the city ordinances. Upon
hearing that the negro was in Jail. the
secretary of the colored Y. NJ. c. A.
secured the services of a minister to
go with him and sign the prisoners
bail bond They reached the jail
shortly before noon, and told the
negro the object of their visit. In re-
Spouse to the proffered kindness he
said:
"Mistah Johnsing. / sho is glad you
all is gwine to git me out, but /
wants you-all to fix it so ! can't git
out till late dis evenin'."
OF course the two Samaritans were
somewhat taken aback by this unus-
ual request. But moment later they
lost their breath when, in answer to
the secretary's question, the Georgia
negro replied in a whisper:
well, sab, dey's a-gittin' dinnah

those streams which rise in well forested wa
tersheds maintain comparatively even flow.
The reclamation service when its task Is
finished, will have turned 50,000,000 acres of
desert into fertile farm land, dotted with
homes Under its director, Frederick Haynes
Newell whose achievement is national and
enduring, this work. unparalleled in scope, is
going successfully forward. The story of what
has been done by the men of the reclamation
service, in the face of engineering difficulties
historic In their magnitude, has yet to be ade-
quately written. But for the permanent sue
cess of its work, the reclamation service must
depend not merely upon its reservoirs and
dams. but upon the thoroughness with which
the forest service does its duty. The preser-
walton of the national forests is vital to the
fulfllment Of the national irrigation policy.
In the conservation of water used for the
development of power through electricity, as
well as for irrigation, lies another great func-
ton of the national forests, whose Importance
is only beginning to be generally realized In
the regulation of the development OF this
power within national forests. through the

tween the of the national forests any
of their resources, for the permanent benefit
of many, or for the temporary benefit of a
few the forest service encourages use by the
many and prevents its monopoly by the few.
There are two planks in the platform of
the forest service. They are these:
To insure through public ownership and
administration the fullest permanent use of
those forests which are essential to the public
welfare.
To teach American citizens how to make
the best use of forests in private hands and
of their product, by finding out aud telling
them how.
The 194,500,O00 acres of national forests
stand for the first plank. They conserve most
of the water and onethird of the timber of
the west This national heritage, whose
measurable material resources are worth more
than two billions of dollars, is being admins
tered by the forest service in the best perma-
nent interest of all the people. At an average
cost for protection of about one-fifth of a cent
per acre, the damage by fire on national for
ests for the last three years has been, per mil
lion acres. about three per cent. of that on
private forest lands In these three years the
use of the national forests by the people has
more than doubled In 1908, so great were the
demands of the peoples business, that an
average of only about one-ffth of the time of
the forest rangers could be given to fire pa
troll. This was the equivalent of all the time
of one man for the patrol of $4,000 acres, an
area half the size of the state of Delaware.
From Arizona to the Canadian border and
from California to Minnesota and Arkansas,
the forest rangers have done their duty. This
has meant unrelenting effort, usually under
frontier conditions. There is no more exact
ing work than fire patrol; and short of war.
nothing makes greater claims than fire fight
ing upon personal courage, fiber and devotion.
The forest rangers are the backbone of the
service Were it not for them, the national
forests would soon be forests no longer. And
as each of these public servants comes to lay
down his tools for younger hands to pick up.

SCARED forests OF his district valuable heri
tage to the community and the honorable record
of trust fulfilled.
The protection of the national forests from
fire is incidental only to the development Of
their fullest permanent use. This use is limited
only so far as is needed to insure the perma-
nence of the forest and to keep it in satisfac-
tory condition. Last year 100000 cattle and
horses and 100000 sheep and goats grazed
within national forests, or ~ and 81 per cent,
respectively, of the range stock of the west.
Nearly 100000 feet of mature timber was
sold and cut, or enough to build 5000 ordinary
frame houses. More than 1870 600 feet more
was given away to settlers for irewood and
other home uses. All this timber was cut and
logged conseryatively, to the Improvement of
the condition of the forest. Under such man
agement forest produces wood forever.
For man can handle his forest in three
different ways, just as he can handle money
in three different ways and the same is true
Of a nation He can destroy his forest by
wasteful logging and the fire which follows it,
Just as he can squander money until it is all
gone. He can protect his forest adequately
from fire other injury, but fail to harvest
its crop just he lock up money in

but unproductve and useless. Or he can
handle his forest rightly and profit by the
interest without impairing the capital like the
man who invests money safely and well.
There is nothing intricate about the prin-
cples or the practice of forestry. 1t has its
own careful, skilled methods based study
comparatively recent in this country, but
which in other countries began hundreds of
years ago. To describe these methods would
fill many pages and 1t takes trained men to
apply them. But in the last analysis forestry
is common sense scientifically applied. Cut
the mature trees, but do not cut them until
they have shed seed enough to start young
trees to make another forest. Remember al
ways that the sapling will make valuable
tree some day IL 1t is not injured, just as a
boy will make a wage Garner If he has his

Waste nothing. These are
The principles un d er
which logging is done in
the national forests. The
result is to make Of them
a factory as well as a
storehouse of wood.
But the usefulness of
the national forests does
not end with producing
timber and grass. Their
still larger value to the
nation is in conserving
stream flow. These noun
tain forests are to the
streams Of the west what

leasing of power sites without passage Of title
to the user, through charge for the occu-
pancy and use of these sites and through rigid
provisions against combination and monopoly,
the forest service Is effectively safeguarding,
within national forests, the interests OF the
American people, whose property these water
powers are Herein lies the greatest public
service which the forest service is rendering.
The standing timber in the national forests,
which is alone sufficient If it were cut clean
to meet all the needs Of the nation for 10
years, is of less value than the sites for the
development Of water power, whose useful
ness these forests conserve. The complete
destruction of this timber by fire would be far
less grave than for the power sites within ma
tional forests to pass into unregulated corpo-
rate ownership or control.
The power of the immediate future Is wa

is the power trust, if nation, state and citizen

A the morning was well spent
 On the river the work was going forward with the precision of clockwork.
 Orde discovered about noon that the jam crew was having it's troubles. Inn mediateiy below Reeds dam ran a long chute strewn with powders. which was alternately a shallow or a stretch of white water according as the stream rose or fell. Ordinarily the logs were flushed over this decliv- ity by opening the gate. behind which a head of water had been accumulat- ed. Now, however. the efficiency of the gate had been destroyed.
 .T wonder if we can't drop that gate way down to get something for a head" said Orde to the foreman.
 The two men examined the chute and the sluice gate attentively for some time
 "If we could clear out the splinters and rubbish we might spike a couple of saplings on each side for the gate to slide down into" speculated North
 The logs were held up in the pond, and a crew of men set to work to cut away the splintered ends of the old sill and apron. The current rendered footing impossible, SO all the work had to be done from above. Wet wood gripped the long saws viselike, so that a mans utmost strength could scarcely budge them Nevertheless they held to it Orde. satisfied that they would succeed. departed up river to the rear.
 This crew he found working busily among some overfowed woods They were herding the laggards of the flock. The subsistence of the water conse- quent upon the opening of the sluice gate had left stranded and in shal- lows many hundreds of the logs. From the advantage of deadwood. stumps or other logs the "sackers" pushed the unwieldly timbers forward. leaping. splashing, heaving. showing, until at last the steady current of the main river seized the logs and bore them away. With marvelous skill they top ped the dripping. bobby. rolling tim bers. treading sthem over and over. back and forth. in unconscious preser- vation of equilibrium.
 Hardly had Orde the opportunity to look about at the progress making. however, before he heard his name shouted from the bank Looking up, to his surprise he saw the solemn cook
