CONSERVATION WON'T DOWN.

It now appears that President Taft
is going to insist that part of his con-
servation programme be enacted in
to law. He wants congress to give
him the express right to withdraw
public lands, not valuable chiefly for
agricultural purposes, from entry
and to keep them from entry until
otherwise directed by congress, and
he also wants a scientific classified
ton of lands which contain valuable
minerals. Nothing less than this
will satisfy the public demand.
Those interests which want to
gobbled up all the remaining valuable
timber and mineral lands are raising
the cry of injury to the West by rea-
son of their non-use. But on the
other hand, the public has no guar
antee that they would be developed
if they were permitted to fall into
the hands of monopolists. The
chances are that if all mineral and
timber lands were acquired by mon
opolists, they would hold them in
reserve and develop them at their
own good pleasure.
The best guarantee for the use and
development of our timber, and coal
and other mineral lands is for the
United States to keep possession of
them and lease them for certain
terms of years on basis that would
be profitable to each party concern
ed in their development.
The American people have as in
telligent a conception of the ques-
ton of conservation as they had of
the money question in 1896 and the
mouthings of a few Self-interested
spectators are not going to deter
them from profieing from the exper-
fence of past years. Scientific con-
servation has intelligence back of 1t

MIA, February %, 1851. He was
graduated from Dartmouth College
in 1874. After admission to the bar
he began practicing law in Boston
and subsequently he became editor
of a newspaper in that city. Before
his election to Congress in 1898 he
had been three times member of
the Massachusetts, house of represen-
tatives. Mr.. Mccall is noted for
scholarly attachments, and his bio
graphy of Thaddeus Stevens is con-
sidered to be classic. A year ago
he declined an invitation to become
president of Dartmouth College on
the ground that it was his duty to
continue in Congress.

HAY SUPPLY VERY
SHORT
ALEX. MCREDY OF WAPATO
SAYS MOST DEALERS ARE
ABOUT OUT AND POINTS OUT
GROWING CONSUMPTION.

Hay will be a scarce article before
another crop is harvested if present
prospects are any indication. The
supply is pretty we'll sold off in this
valley. Outlook, where the bulk of
the undelivered hay now is to be
found, reports that there remains
there about 100 carloads to me ship
ped. Alex. McCredy, of Wapato, on
Thursday stated that he was all sold
out except for about six carloads and
declared that the majority of the
others are in a position analogous to
his. In the consuming markets the
outlook for sales is much better
than it was a brief time ago.
Recently in Seattle there was ap-
parently congestion because OF
heavy importations from California.
This has been cleaned up and the
present reports are that inquiries are
beginning to come in from many
quarters for hay. And as stated there
is not much ahead and the consump-
ton will keep up undated until the
crop is harvested. The consumption
this winter has been heavy.
Demands by New People.
s'I do not know what the results
will be-" said Mr.. McCredy, "but /
can tell you there is an enormous
consumption. There are railroads
and government at work in this sec
ton of the country and buying large
quantities. Hundreds of new settlers
have come in and are working their
ground. They are all buying feed.
No one who has not been out over
the country can appreciate how much
of this new work there is. Every
where one turns he sees new homes
going up and new land being brought
under cultivation. And the majority
of these people are new folks who
have not become producers. This
will hold true for long time to come
North Yakima is itself becoming an
important hay market and its con-
sumption is mounting up annually.
Then the state as a whole is de-
veloping and calling for more hay
while it cannot be said that the hay
land is increasing, at least not pro-
portionately to the other develop
ment. Record.

REGULAR PEACH BUD STORY
Ellensburg Writer Kills All the
Peaches.

Yakima news after it has had Ell
lensburg or Wenatchee trimmings
and adjustments is sometimes inter
esting matter. Sometimes it is en-
tirely in the nature of surprise to
the people most directly interested.
The following from the Ellensburg
Record is both interesting and sur
prising.
Fruit growers at Yakima and Top
penish are considerably worried over
the prospects of a peach crop for
this year on account of the cold snap
of the past few days. A visitor from
North Yakima in this city yesterday
said that he held out little hope for
much of a peach crop. the balmy
weather of two weeks ago started
the "buds,"' said the North Yakima
man, and 1 am afraid that all those
starter have been nipped by the cold
wave which visited us as severely
as it hit Ellensburg.'
The article then goes on to tell OF
the Kittitas crop, referring to ap-
pies, not peaches.-Yakima Herald.

progress of the beef trust inquiry

the efforts of President Taft to get
his railroad bill through Congress

British parliament-these are among
the subjects that promise to continue
as staple topics of news and discus
sion during the week. The president
is scheduled for one public address
during the week, to be delivered
Monday night at dinner for the

There is at present convention
in Washington urging the passage of
a uniform motor vehicle bill by con-
gress, the result of which, if passed.
will be to enable these vehicles to
go from state to state and through
the states without securing a special
license from each state in passage.
In other words, it means free trade
and travel as far as motor vehicles
are concerned, throughout the Unit
ed States. The great number OF peo-
ple now using automobiles and the
greater number that will use them
in the future makes such law in
dispensable.

Tacoma, Feb. 28.-Harry III. Col
lier, democratic candidate for lieu
tenant governor last year and the
best known poultry judge in the
west, is out for Judge Miles Poindex-
ter for the United States senate.
Judge Poindexter has made good
in the lower house in the fight of
the people against the special inter-
ests, and I believe the time has come
for the people, irrespective of party,
to get behind him and elect him to
the senate, said Collier today.
Mr.. Collier has just returned from
a Is weeks tour of eastern Wash
ington and reports Poindexter SEN
timent almost unanimous there.
''In every little town in eastern
Washington they are organizing Po-
indexter clubs. Practically every man.
excepting, of course, the rabid ma
chine politicians, are for him, and he
will carry the eastern part of the
state solidly," said Collier.
It is generally conceded in the east
that Jones is going to move to Sc
attic, and If it comes to choice be-
tween Jones and Poindexter the peo-
pie are going to go for Poindexter.
"You never saw such an uprising
as there is over there for him. And
people know why, too. They are de-
termined to line up this state against
the Cannon-Aldrich regime for pro-
gressive government, and men of all
parties are going to go for Poindex-
ter"
