TO SAVE TIMBER.
Plan to Utilize Railroads in Campaign
Against Fires

Spokane Wash.--Western Forestry
and Conservation association, of
which Albert L. Flewelling Of Spo-
kane, is president, has perfected a
plan to utilize certain departments of
the railroads operating in Washing
ton. Oregon, California, Idaho and
Montana in warning the people in the
five states against carelessness with
fires in the forests during the sum-
mer months.
e. T. Allen, forester of the associa-
ton, made the foregoing announce
ment while in Spokane and outlined
the plan in brief as follows:
Forest protection is of the utmost
benefit to all our people, and we be-
lieve we can enlist their cooperation
IN this work. With that end in view
all ticket envelopes, timetables, fold
ers and pamphlets describing noun
tain, lake and forest resorts for west
ern distribution will contain sugges-
tions as to how to avert camp and
other fires, also means to be en-
ployed in combating the element
Booklets dealing with the same sub
ject will be placed in observation
cars and placards are to be posted in
the waiting rooms OF forest stations
The association will bear the extra
expense occasioned by this work
"No agency has quicker and better
means of reaching the public than
the railroads, as almost everyone trav-
els and reads railroad literature, and
this step by the Western Forestry and
Conservation association Is taking the
first attempt to utilize It for forest
protection. Railroad officials are
keenly interested in the plan, as the
roads profit equally with the public
in reducing the destruction Of forest
resources. The lumber industry moi
only furnished a large proportion Of
their traffic, but also brings into the
northwestern and coast states more
than $50, 100000 a year, most O.
which goes into general circulation tC
build up business of all kinds. Ir
rigation and power development de
pends much on forest regulation o
stream flow. Tourist and resort ira
vel is affected by destruction of see
mic and game conditions by fores
| fires and every acre of timber o.
second growth destroyed means
! money loss to the railroads as well a
! to the nation"

THE WHEAT MARKET
SEASONS GREATEST
LOSS SHOWN IN WHEAT
Big Leaders Arrayed. Against Longs
and Prices Take Dip.

Chicago, May 26.-Buyers turned
sellers, and the result was that wheat
prices dipped far below yesterdays
process today. May closed with a loss
of lac, July lac and September
Lac a bushel.
All the big leaders of the bull side,
including Patten, were said to be ar
rayed against the longs today Patten
is said to have dumped an enormous
amount of wheat overheard through
other parties, and the liquidation was
general. Almost a riot resulted.
The inability of the trade here to
interest foreigners in the bull side is
the chief cause of today's heavy liqui-
dating movement, and the seasons
sharpest loss in price. While Liver
pool opened at an advance of 101 Is

ket showed a steadier feeling today
and values were quite well maintained
There was only small run of sheep
In the yards today and this. following
the small run yesterday and the lack
of arrivals for the rest of the week,
caused the improved tone.
While killers retain quite liberal
supplies of sheep. they are not averse
to buying and paying the present mar
ket, providing shipments do not come
30 fast that everyone will be over
stocked.
Eight loads of cattle came In from
California this morning and found a
good demand around former figures.
Nebraska shipped eight loads of
hogs into the local territory today, the
shipment being direct to the Union
Meat company. and therefore did not
enter the market.
Among the shippers.
Henline & Ohlinger brought forward
eight loads Of swine from Nebraska.

cattle from Roseville, CAL, on today's

Sheep Industry Flattering.
The Lakeview Examiner says that
the outlook for the sheep industry
with the possible exception of the mar
ket, was never before so flattering in
Lake county as at the present time.
Weather conditions have been ideal.
and the lamblng season has been high
ly successful. The loss has been
scarcely anything, and the increase
has been simply wonderful. as high as
20 per cent of the ewes giving birth
to twins. Owing to the excellence
OF range conditions II will be an easy
. matter for the twins to do we'll and
make excellent growth. whereas IL
the weather and range conditions were
otherwise II would be difficult for the
ewes 10 raise either of the twins.
The shearing season will open up in
full force next week, and the wool Is
said to be unusually good. ]. A. Nor
ris and Pat Murphy are putting In a
shearing and dipping plant at Plush.
while number of sheepmen are put
ting in their own shearing plants this
year. The Wilcox plant will begin op-
erations next Tuesday, and force Of
25 men will be employed. Other plants
will be in operation and the next sew
eral weeks will be busy ones.
Stock Inspector Proudfoot states
that while there is some scab in his
district, yet il is we'll under control,
and conditions generally could not be
better.
While the market is somewhat un-
certain, yet at the same time conditi-
ons seem to be such as would warrant
good prices in the very near future,
although this is something no one can
foretell.

SOUTH AMERICAN DISCONTENT.

Dispatches from Washington of late
have been making reference TO discon-
tent among the Latin Republics of
South America and of Central America,
at the course of the United States with
respect to Nicaragua. Those nations
evidently fear that our course with
Nicaragua may on occasion be re-
peated on them. On Thursday morning
there was a long telegram from Wash
ington, making rather direct, although
somewhat yelled references. to this dis
content. At the same time, the dis
patch undertook to say that our State
Department was utterly at loss TO
understand why that discomfort ex-
listed, and why there should be any
foreshadowing of expression against the
United States at the coming Interna-
tionaI Conference of American nations
at Buenos Ayres.
We see no reason, however, why
there should be any uncertainty on this
point The attitude of our Government
Nicaragua is absolutely indefensible
from the standpoint of international
ethics and international law. We had
no more right to intervene in the in
surrection in Nicaragua than VIC had to
take part with the insurgents against
the Spanish Government at Barcelona.
IL was no more the business of our
State Department TO say to the Mica
raguan Minister that the leaders of
the insurgents represented the Mica
ruguan people better than the Zelayan
government d. |. than il was for us to
say that the insurgeut leaders in the
Spanish insurrection represented the
people and the thought of Spain better
than did King Alphonso and his Min
istry.
| We have carried things with high
hand in Nicaragua. and yet have re-
| Trained just at the point where our In
tervention would have been effectual
for the stoppage of the shedding of
blood and the destruction Of property
We should either have left Nicaragua
alone altogether, or have commanded
the peace, as we did, in fact, in Santo
Domingo The middle course, which
was effoctual only for mischief aud
trouble, is the course that should have
been avoided; and yet that is the
very 6aurse that we took; and for us
