FORESTS FOR THE FUTURE.

An interesting contribution under
this heading appears in the current
issue of Sunset" a magazine pub
lished by the Southern Pacific Railway
at San Francisco. The writer is Mr..
L. B. Walker. of Minneapolis, the rich
est lumberman in the country. At this
time, when Chief Forester Pinchot has
been decapitated by the official ak Of
President Taft, and an Investigation
of Secretary Ballinger is being held
by Congress-, what Mr.. Walker says
on the forestry question il entitled to
the consideration of the public. He
knows his subject we'll and is CAPABLE
OF expressing his views in respectable
language.
AS Mr.. Walkers article occupies
seven pages Of Sunset" in double col
umns, we shall only refer to it in a
general way. After quoting from the
report of the National Forestry Com
mission to the effect that "only 800
feet of lumber has been used for ev-
cry 1000 feet that stood In the for
ests," Mr.. Walker truly says that it
10 to be regretted that the commits
sion did not extend its investigation
to determine what facts and condi-
tons are responsible for such waste.
and how it could be avoided and COR
rected.
1t appears to us that the govern
ment should have taken steps long
since to preserve the forest ttmbers
from falling into the hands of a few
lumber barons like T. B. Walker and
others who have grown to be multi
millionaires. Saving the forests now
from destruction is like locking the
barn door after the steed is stolen.
About four-fifths of the forestry lands
OF the nation are today owned by pri-
vate individuals. They obtained their
titles in legal. proper way from COM
PLEASANT officials of the government.
and sometimes they acquired titles BY
improper methods. as in Oregon, where
some Of the most prominent citizens
have been prosecuted and found guilty.
OF fraudulently acquiring timber
claims.
These avaricious captains of indus
try have accumulated their millions
and gobbled up what belonged to the
whole people and to posterity, but like
Sir Boyle Roche of the Irish parlia-
ment, what do they care for posterity
when featherinE their own nests? Pos
terity has done nothing for them; why
then should they care for posterity?
And yet Mr.. Walker, from the tenor
Of his article, 10 somewhat interested
In the welfare Of posterity-thoush he
has sharp eye to number one. So
far as Minnesota, Michigan and Wis
consin are concerned, their forests OF
pine and other trees have almost dis
appeared and it is now too late to
conserve them. After denuding the

many years. We wish Mr.. Cove every

Or. c. M. Jordan has been reelected
as superintendent of the Minneapolis
public schools for term of three years
by vote Of to OF the directors.
At the expiration of his term, which
begins in July, DR.. Jordan will have
served twenty years as the head of
the city schools. Some individuals. for
various reasons, have been opposed to
the reelection Of DR.. Jordan, but the
only way for them to got rid Of linn is
to make him an issue in the next elec-
ton OF members of the board Of cdu-
cation. In our opinion, DIR. Jordan is
pleasing the majority of the parents Of
the school chill 1ren, and if made all is
sue in the next campaign we think his
friends would get elected by big ma
jority. The Irish Standard congratu-
lates him on his reelection md wishes
him success In his educational career.

The Buffalo Union and Times has
not yet lost faith in DR.. Cook. The
Copenhagen experts have only said
that he furnished no proofs Of reach
ing the North Pole. but Peary and his
friends have not proved that he did
not get there. Our Eastern contem-
porary quotes Prof. Torp rector of the
University of Copenhagen, who says:
AS there were certain questions Of
special astronomical nature witt
which I myself was not suficientiy
acquainted I called in our greatest
astronomical scientist, Prof. stram-
gren. who put an exhaustive series of
mathematical, technical and natural
scientific questions to DR.. Cook, based
particularly on those of his conten-
tons on which some doubts had been
cast DR.. Cook answered all to our
tull satisfaction. He showed no ner-
vousness or excitement at any time.
l dare say, therefore, that there ia no
Justification for anybody to throw the
slightest doubt on his claim to have
reached the Pole and the means by
which he did it. Prof Stramsren and
are entirely satisfied with the evil
dence" This was last September. DR.
Cook has mysteriously disappeared and
folks should not condemn him until
he is proved to be an impostor.
