Today few of the leading nations
of Europe neglect this important fac
tor in their national wealth. the re-
suit being that perpetual forest is
established in them. If these densely
populated and older countries can
establish and successfully maintain
forestry reserves, there is no reason
why Washington should not enact
legislation that will establish such
reservation from public domain either
state or from national if that kind of
land should be given to the state for
forestry purposes. Nor is there any
reason why the state should not en-
courage private forestry.
In conclusion it may be said "That

our attention is called to the various
uses to which it is applied. 1t enters
into the manufacture of paper, and
for this use alone the demand for
wood has trebled in the last decade.
The railroads of the United States
are $50, 600 miles in length and for
every rod of this distance not less
than Eve ties must be placed. For
this purpose no other material has
vet been found So valuable as wood.
For every ole hundred tons of miner
al mined a ton of wood must be used
for bracIng and supporting the mine
to say nothing of what must be used
to operate the niue in other ways.
Examples OF this character can be
multiplied but 1T is not necessary to
do so to excite the interest of the
readers and call attention to the uses
of forest products. The ultimate re-
suit of this phase Of the subject is ap
parent to all that unless steps are
taken to provide for future supply,
the manufacturing industries which
are in existence aud are springing up
all over the Northwest must suffer
and the prestige of this state and the
whole United States along that line be
lost.
What then shall be done to main
tain our future supply of forest pro-
ducts which will demand our most
careful study? The forest and water
supplies declares ex-president Roose
Welt, are perhaps the most vital inter-
nal problems OF the United States.
AS beginning the Interior Depart
ment has withdrawn some ninety
millions of acres of the public domain
and are establishing forestry reserves
in them. The forest service stands
ready to assist and aid state and
municipalities and private parties IN
formulating practical plans for the
scientific cutting of forest tracts or
the repIanting Of cut over lands. The
state of New York controls an area
covering three millions of acres of
land in the Adirondack region, and
she is adding to this every year, other
states OF the east and middle west are
following in her train establishing
reserves and encouraging private en-.
terprise in this direction. There is
an interest manifested in Washing
ton. that if rightly directed, cannot
fail to secure good results. AS one
result of What this agitation has done
let me call the attention of the read
er to the Conservation Congress of
the state of Washington, which has
already done much toward the con-
servation of our yet remaining natural
resources. Then too we have now
Washington state fire association that
spends some $50, 600 year for the
protection of the forests. We have
also a state forest fire warden and
forester doing much good work.
The question is often asked whether
forest reservations of state reserves
could be maintained by the state
without the annual appropriation ex'
ceeding in amount the value of the
timber when it has reached an age
profitable for marketing. While at
present it may be somewhat doubtful,

GRAND JURY WORKS

Little Rock, Ark, Oct 1.-The ad- Journment of the Pulaski County Grand Jury until Monday, October 31 without an indictment in the Sweet Home murder case, is no surprise, for the jury worked two weeks and was unable to find anything, and lat CT was rebuked by Circuit Judge R.. J. Lea for it's apparent lack of ener- gy, but the juryis composed of some of the leading business men of Littie Rock and Pulaski county, and they are not negligent in the least. They adjourned for two weeks merely to allow time to aid them in their search and they expect to uncork something sensational when they sit again two weeks hence, for the individuals are working and will report to the body at it's next sitting.

Ten years ago there were only a
few more than 5000 people in Co.
lumbia. There We're no paved streets
and the sidewalks were constructed
of planks for the most part. There
were no modern buildings as there
are now. The University had nothing
like its present number OF teachers
or students.
Today there are many miles OF
paved streets and more paving is TO
be laid in the spring. There are many
modern business buildings. Factories
are locating here. The University has
had a marvellous growth along many
lines Instead of a country town we
have a small city.
This progress in the last ten years
is only a suggestion OF what can be
done in the next ten years. Colum-

GUNS OR NO GUNS.

Guns or no guns at the Panama
canal is question yet to be settled,
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
have spoken in favor of the fortitlca.
ton OF this canal, but keen opposi-
ton from many in positions. OF author
ity will have TO be reckoned with.
The expense in the placing OF guns
and forts at Panama is an argument
against the measure. In times of
peace the canal zone will not be
haras sed by an enemy. while in war
times if the navy cannot look after
this property wherein lies its eff
cheney? Let the canal be neutral"
is the cry of those who do not wish
the fortification of this property. If
this neutrality is observed the nations
will have equal rights to the canal
during war. except when America is
one of the fighting parties. But that
will be the time for the United States
tC defend her property. That the
benefit coming 10 the maritime ma
tions of the world when the canal is
completed will he cause enough for
its neutrality being maintained is a
likely supposition.
On the other hand those who are
for the fortification OF the canal say
that the canal is American property
ard should. therefore be protected.
When finished it will have cost the
American government many millions
OF dollars and for this reason the canal
should be protected This investment
would be considered a spoil of war
in time OF hostility. and would be
preyed upon by the enemy. This,
therefore. is cause enough for its
protection.
