WESTERN TARIFF
AND PROGRESS.

Ormsby McHarg, assistant sec
retary of the department of COM
merce and labor, proves his faith
in western progress in recent in
terview. Leave the west alone"
is one of his salient statements.
Too much dreaming, he says has
been INDUCED in in dealing with
irrigation projects and forest con-
servation work.
Mr.. McHarg handles vigorously
the subject of the ''Uplift" move
ment, declaring that to have di-
rected movement of uplift among
the American farmers, was an in
suit to the finest element in the
country's body polite, and the
"absurdest of absurd dreams"
Mr. McHarg in an interview,
fatty contradicted the assertions of
the forest service that the lum Der
supply of the country will virtually
be exhausted in another generation
if the present rate of cutting is not
curtailed.
There is enough timber stand
ing in the state of Washington
alone to supply this country for
fifty years." he says.
Vast supplies remain in other
states, said the assistant secretary,
sufficient to maintain supply for
Il much longer period which could
not and need not be estimated.
The abundance of the forests was
such that the alarmist statements
as to the approaching exhaustion
of supply was utterly unfounded,
he asserted.
'Furtherfore," said Mr.. McHarg,
the forest service has been put in
possession of facts and figures
proving the truth of what | say
and it has failed to make them
public
Methods too dreamlike are be-
ing pursued in our forest admins
tratiou. 1t is attempted to desig-
nate what tree the logger may cut
down and that which he may not.
No knowledge of logging is ap-
piled. Men who are doing the
practical developing work of the
west are hindered and thwarted and
you hear nothing but cursing from
them for the present methods of
forest conservation.
"Out near Cheyenne recently, a
woman settler went on a forest
reserve and cut rails for small
corral The forest service had her
indicted for this heinous crime.
What do you think the attitude of
every man in that community is
toward the forest service? That s
the feeling you encounter through
out the west.
Leave the west alone. Let it
90 ahead and develop. Let the
redblooded men out to do the work
1t won't be long then until the east
will be the back door Of the
nation"
Mr.. McHarg said there was
much complaint in the west against
the reclamation service as it has
been conducted.
"Extravagance, and incompe
tency are the charges that hav,
been made" he explained, ''ant

A TALE THAT IS TOLD.

The opening of three Indian
reservations in the west and the
parceling of their share of the public
lands to the Indians marks almost
the last milestone in the conquest
of the savage, says Golfers. The
Indian became homesteader. He
takes his place side by side with
the white farmer and rancher. He
has long since ceased to roam in
the old nomadic way. He confines
himself to periodical visits to the
towns and cities of the whites,
where he looks with curious eyes
upon the puzzling novelties of civ
ilization. He discards the blanket
for trousers and galluses. His
daughter gowned in innocent white
marches under evening shadows, to
the far -echoing toll of the vesper
bell, mingling figure in the silent
vesper professional. His son is
cornetist in the reservation brass
band. Thus the former warrior
lives and dies, the last vestige of a
dissolving race. Here and there
throughout the west still remain
remnants of tribal life. pitiful fig
ures that lag superhuous upon a
stage once swelling with the pomp
of paint and feathers and night
mared with the holocaust of blood.
1t is not a far call from Fenimore
Cooper's Chingachgook to Chariot,
the chief of the hatheads. One
was the warrior of dying race on
Atlantic shores, the other is the
aged patriarch of the last of the
red mans power on the Pacific.
Chariot has all the savage roman
ticism with which Cooper's glow
ing pen endowed the character of
his hero. He has always insisted
that his name was forged to the
treaty negotiated by James A. Gar
field, then chairman Of an Indian
commission, whereby the hatheads
were dispossessed of their camping
grounds in the Bitter Root valley.
Political injustice it was that TO-
mented the war, eliminating in the
battle of the Big Hole, historically
known as the march of Chief
Joseph. The policy of the govern.
ment which turned these wards
over to the care of political carpet
baggers reacted upon innocent
heads and left CHASTITY trail.
