Active support and cooperation by
the people, Legislators and lumbermen
of Idaho, Oregon, Montana, California
and Washington in practical methods
of securing better management and pro
lection of standing forests and the re-
forestation of cut-over lands is the OBJ
ject of campaign outlined at the re-
cent semi-annual meeting of the West
ern Forestry and Conservation associa-
ton in Spokane. George M. Cornwall
of Portland is secretary. Arrange
ments were made to finance and con-
duct the movement SO as to obtain
actual results to serve as object lessons.
E. 7. Allen of Portland, formerly dis
trict forester in charge of all govern
ment forest work in Oregon, Washing

forester. The meetings will take place

Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1909-12-11

Particular stress will be laid upon
the necessity of more adequate protec-
ton of forest resources from fire. The
forest fire associations of Washington
and Idaho spent more than 100000
during the season of 1909 and it is ex-
pected to bring the timber owners of
other states into line. The association
also expects more public and legislative
cooperation when it is more generally
realized that on every thousand feet
of timber burned the stumpage owner
loses only dollar or two, while the
community loses fully So worth which
would have been paid in wages for its
manufacture, while of the millions of
dollars brought into the five states
yearly by the lumber industry, fully
so per cent is circulated in the arteries
of labor, commerce and agriculture.
This argument is advanced in the in
terest of the protection of standing
timber from useless destruction, also
for the perpetuation of such ire
mendous source of wealth by encourag-
ing a second crop.

E. T. Allen in Charge.

Mr.. Allen has resigned from the gov
eminent forest service to give his en-
tire time to the new movement,
although in recognition of its useful
public character the government allows
him to retain the official title of collab-
orator. Among the chief objects sought
by the organization, formed under the
name of the Pacific Northwest Forest
Protection and Conservation associa-
ton, in Spokane last January, are the
formation and perfection of fire fight
ing associations throughout the west
ern states, in which state, government
and timber owners shall join in hiring
patrol and labor; the selection of repre-
sentative areas for conservative log
ging and reforestation experiments, and
the collection and dissemination OF
trustworthy information upon forestry
and forest legislation. In reality, tC
make it clearing house for all forest
fire and conservation associations OF
the five states, also to cooperate closely
with the United States forest service
Other objects set forth by the speak
ers at the meeting are as follows: "Th'
successful. preservation of the fores
from fire, the framing of laws for cut
ting timber and disposing of refuse il
a reasonable, practical way, the refor
estation of such cut-over lands as arr
not desirable for farm lands, and t.
provide for special taxation therefor
the preservation of mountain stream
for irrigation and all of the othe
things contemplated by the word con
servation,' and also to raise the none.
to carry out the necessary experiment
so as to reduce the theory to a SCUM
business basis, for without all thes
elements the association cannot hop
to succeed.'

created through the country about the
alleged grating by senators in the
shape of articles for feminine use that
now nothing is kept on sale in the
stationery room except writing ma

The way the thing started was that
senator's wives and daughters, seeing
something attractive in a downtown
store would order it and have the bill
sent to the senator at the capitol. In
chases cut quite deeply into the salaries
of members who would receive uneX-
pected bills at unwelcome times.
So it Was decided to keep a stock in
the stationery room of the things that
the ladies' might. expect to find in a
! store of that kind and limit the amount
that could be charged o any one SEN

At first the things wera bought at
retail prices and then the senate be

but senators and members of their
