WANT L. S. TROOPS TO
HELP PRESERVE FORESTS

Spokane Wash.-President Taft, as
commander-in-ch of the army, and
Secretary of War Dickinson have
been requested by the Western Pine
Manufacturers association, of which
J. p. McGoldrick of Spokane, is presi-
dent, acting in behalf of timber own
ers, lumbermen and settlers in the
northwestern and Pacific states, to
station government troops in the ma
tional forest reservations from May /
to September 80 of each year, to the
end that the timber resources of the
United States may be saved from de-
struction
"The fire losses in the forests in
the western states during the last 60
days will amount to at least $150.0O0,-
000," said George NJ. Cornwall of
Portland, Or, who presented a reso-
luton embodying the foregoing at the
semi-annual meeting of the associa-
ton, "and it is likely tnat in addition
millions of dollars worth of timber
will be destroyed during this and next
month unless heavy rains come be-
fore the end of the dry season."
Statistics compiled by A. w. Coop
er, secretary of the Western Pine
Manufacturers association, show that
fully so per cent of the standing tim
Der in the United States is located in
Washington, Idaho, Montana regon
and California, where fire patrols are
maintained by lumbermens associa-
tions and the state departments. They
however, are inadequate TO cope with
the fire element.

PRINCESS MARY PRESENTS
"TUE ALEXANDRA BOW

London.-Princess Mary. the only
daughter of King George and Queen
Mary, shows more than any of her five
brothers. more even than the Prince
of Wales, how seriously she esteems
the new digntles of her position. She
was born in April, 1897, so that she
Is rapidly approaching young woman
hood. but up to the ascension of her
father to the throne she was in every

Now, however, she Is assuming the
habits of the grown up" and when
she appears in public shows that she
has given much attention to the Gull
tivation of that sweeping obeisance,
which is known as "the Alexandra
bow"
This innocent little assumption of
the grand air is all the more note
worthy because Princess Mary has
been brought up on the principles Of
domestic simplicity. She has also
been taught the good habit of thrift
and economy and it used to be no un-
usual scene to see her deposting her
savings in the postoffice opposite
Marlborough House. The banking
business Is conducted now by a lady
Of the court.

this and neighboring states. Her hus-
band married the second time and

NEWS OF THE
NORTHWEST
Now Town IN Harncy.

Burns, or,-The Hill people have a
party of surveyors working at the
Narrows, so miles south of here. They
have run a line from near Bend to
connect with the survey they made
last winter through Malheur pass. The
town of Narrows is on the main line
surveyed through this valley by the
Hill interests and several prominent
men, who seem to know what they
are doing, have purchased property in
and around the town of Narrows. The
location for city here is the best in
the valley, as it is on high ground and
water can be brought from the Bitten
river for city use, while the water of
the lake can be used for irrigation.
Several Portland men have land in
terests near the town of Narrows.

PUSHING BACK OF OLD AGE

At sixty they were Cabling in their

that dead, delightful, benevolent old

Fifty years ago, when a man reach

a pair of drab CATERS and a white
neckcloth, and spoke With anxious

AEROPLANES AND WAR

In view of the fact that
wonderful progress has been made
in aviation, it would be- wise if
nations of the world paused in their
mad extravaganza in worship
building to see what the future
may develop in the aeroplane, says
the Baker City Democrat. 1t has
been demonstrated how simple it
would be to drop bomb upon an
object below.
Is has also been demonstrated
that these swiftly moving bird men
can ascend to height so far above
the clouds as to become invisible
even by a spy glass.
If an aeroplane is painted color
so. that it does not contrast with
the sky, but becomes part of it,
and the height is sufficient, it can
fly silently over the fleet of a
foreign power and destroy it.
Once upon time our warships
cost on ly $3,O0O,O0O, now our
dreadnaughts cannot be built for
less than $16,O00,OOO.
In his message this month the
President recommended the
construction of two such ships and
several smaller ones. 1t is an
enormous amount of money to
spend for two ships. Thirty two
million dollars would do wonderful
things in the world.
If we were just sure that the
aeroplane would be no more than
they are today, no more than
interesting playthings in the
hands of daring men, it would be
serious enough.
We do not know what the future
holds. We do not know what next
invention will follow and to what
extent the infant art of aviation
will apply.
Until we do, there is ire
mendous element of doubt about
the 'advisability of building such
battleships. 1t would be wise to
remain where we are and hold the
amount appropriated until we can
gain an idea of what the future of
aviation will be.
AS it is one of these bird men,
with a new explosive, can destroy
the investment of many millions of
dollars in a minutes time.
