FOREST PROTECTION AND MAN
AGEMENT

Conservative management of timber
lands is assured for less than one
fourth of this countrys forested
areas, the part contained in the ma
tional forests and under the admin
istration Of the United States forest
service. BY cutting only the mature
tree sand protecting the new growth
by keeping out fires, the national for
ests will be made to yield indefinitely.
1t cannot be expected that this small
part Of the nations forests will sup
ply the demand for future genera
lions, and the one hope in sight is
that users Of wood and lumber man
ufacturers will insure the permanence
of their business by applying the
principles Of forestry in the manage
ment of timber lands.

EGYPTIANS NOT ETHIoPIANs

In the February number of the JEFF.
fersonian Magazine Mr.. Watson takes
Editor Brisbane severely to task for
some of his recent high-hown declar-
atoms upon the negro question. The
particular text which has reused the
fighting blood of Mr.. Watson con-
Germs the ancestry of the negro race.
Mr.. Brisbane endeavors to create the
impression that the Egyptians, who
evolved the worlds oldest civilization,
were negroes; and he supports this
contention by citing the thick lips
which appear upon the Egyptian
Sphinx. Moreover, he protests in
florid phrase that the ancestors of the
negro were laying foundations of our
religion and were mapping the stars
at time when our ancestors were
gibbering savages, living in caves,
sharpening bones and eating raw
meat. Mr.. Watson does not content
himself with merely pointing out the
mischief which such apocryphal le-
gends are calculated to put into the
heads Of the negro, but, from carefully
collected data, which gives fresh proof
of his deep historical research, he
shows that the negroes in Egypt were
only the slaves of the Egyptians;
that the thick lips of the sphinx were
.Ot the thick lips of the Ethiopian;
that all Africans are not. by any
means, all negroes; and that the leu
tonic ancestors of the white men, so
far from being the cannibals describ-
ed, were valiant men of battle, who
held the purity of womanhood in the
highest allegiance and who proclaim
fed the individual rights which under
lie the charters of Anglo-SaxOn free

COMMON INTERESTS OF THREE
NATIONS

Washington, Feb. 13.-Keen inter-
est is manifest as to what will be the
program of subjects of the North
American Conservation Conference
between representatives of Canada,
Mexico and the United States, in this
city, February IS. In his letter to
President Diaz of Mexico, and Lord
Grey Of Canada, President Roosevelt
outlined as the purpose of the con-
ference the consideration of mutual
interests involved in the conserva-
ton of natural resources" and the
preparation of L" a general plan adapt
ed to promote the welfare of the ma
tons concerned" There is a pretty
well defined feeling, however, that
definite topics will have to be dis
cussed. That the Canadians take this
view is indicated by the fact that
they have sent to the national con-
servation commission compilations of
specific regulations governing the dis
! posal of their natural resources.
( Last summers forest fires on both
sides of the line between the United
States are so recent in the minds of
both countries that undoubtedly the
possibility of some cooperative
( scheme of fire protection is likely to
/ be touched on. There are other i'm
pOrtant international questions con-
corning natural resources which can
hardly fail of consideration.
The Canadian and Mexican dele
gates to the conference are coming
prepared to contribute suggestions as
well as TO receive them. Their rep
/ resentatives at the international
meeting will be prominent specialists
on the various phases of the subject
to be discussed. Conservation has
not been limited to the United States.
Early last year. for instance, every
acre of the public timber lands in
British Columbia. except what has
been leased. was placed in forest re-
/ serves. This action was taken to
check waste by bringing the care and
cutting of timber resources more eff
fectually under government control.
The action affected 150,OO0,00O acres
as much land as was put into all ma
tiOnal forests OF this country up to
1907. In the Yukon all water power
rights are granted for only. twenty
years and at the expiration of that
time their control reverts to the pub
! lie. The water power question is now
one of the most important and far
reaching before the United States to-
day President Diaz of Mexico has
a comprehensive knowledge of for
estry and understands fully the bene-
fits to be gained by its application
He is also deeply interested in the
improvement of agricultural methods
and the farmers of the country are
rapidly adopting scientific methods.
Mexico has few large waterways. but
the nation has provided for the ex-
penditure of several million dollars
for the Improvement of internal nav
igation.
Recent discussion in the Canadian
parliament of President Roosevelt's
proposal for cooperation for the con-
servatiOn of the natural resources of
the whole continent indicates that the
support of the conservation move
ment in the dominion will be as thor
Oughly non-partisan as it is in the
| United States.

BIG THING FOR THE MANATEE
SECTION
Hotels, Hunting Preserves, 5ouIe-
wards and Pleasure Grounds

wards and Pleasure Grounds
For several weeks the Journal has
had knowledge OF the formation of
the Cortez Fishing and Hunting Club,
but for business reasons could not
use them for publication.
Matters have progressed to such
an extent now, however, that the gen.
eral plans of the club may be made
public, and the Journal takes great
pleasure in giving them to its read
ers.
The promoters of the club have pur-
chased the entire COrtez peninsula,
except the small tract upon which the
little town of Cortez is located, and
proposes to make it one of the finest
properties in all Florida.
The peninsula is about two and
half miles long by three-quarteTs of
mile wide, with Sarasota bay on the
south and southwest, and Palma Sofa
bay north and northeast, giving the
property six to eight miles of splendid
water front, every inch of which is
land-lOcked and therefore ideal for
winter and summer homes and fishing
club purposes.
Two sets of surveyors have been
at work for two weeks or more, lay
ing out avenues and streets, and cut
| ting the property up into lots. which
will be sold to club members. Gangs
of men are already at work grubbing
and clearing streets and making ready
for the graders.
The plan, as outlined to the writer,
cOntemplates one grand boulevard.

the point of the peninsula, southeast

will be paralleled by avneues fifty

There will also be splendid bayshore
| driveways around the peninsula.

Palm Key. No other mainland resort
in Florida can boast so many advan-

We take the following extracts
from a letter received by us this
week from the Kansas City Mis-
souri, River Navigation Company
which explain themselves: 1--WE
have appealed by letter to a list of
land owners, merchants and bank
ers OF your county to become share
holders in the company. We are
not receiving the response We
should have. Kansas City mer-
chants and manufacturers have in
vested over 100000 up-to-date in
the Preferred Stock of the COM
pany. And we must have in
vestors in every river town and
county.
Nov, this is a movement TO make
water rates effective through the

rates mean a reduction of at least

Sold Farm at $4,000 Profit

T M. Ehlers, OF Little Rock,
writes us that Hugh Craig has sold
his $40 acre farm which he purchas
ed through Mr.. Ehlers two or
three years ago in the Red River
Valley at $50 per acre, for $50, or
a profit of $4,000. Mr.. Ehlers
sold about 5000 acres there which
has all doubled in value, and he is
now selling Platte River, Colo,
land, which he thinks will be an
equally good investment. Mr..
Craig expects to make his future
home in California.
