resources in the mountain areas. In
some parts of Colorado, Utah, Mon
tana, Oregon and Washington the most
valuable asset Of the map is water.
Anybody who can get control of a wa
ter supply and turn it into irrigation
bitches or transfer it into industrial
motive power has entered an open
road to opulence.
Corporations and individuals were
acquiring water rights in u national
forests on easy terms when Forester
Pinchot stepped into the arena and
shut off the golden streams. He plug
ged up the fumes for future public
use. The pr~ivateers who had preyed
upon the national domain saw their
ships scuttled and raised yells that
sounded like walls of drowning men.
Mr.. Pinchot let them drown. His
theory was that the watersheds, be.
longing to the public, should be con-
served for public benefit. Coincident
with this was his theory that If the
forests were to be denuded by the
wholesale cutting of Of the timber
the water supply would be sadly de-
pleted. Forests serve to draw down
the gentle rains from heaven. It does
not rain in desert regions, because there
are no trees. Pinchot fought to pre-
serve the timber supplies from ma
rauding lumbermen and In so doing
preserve the water supplies, which
he bottled up to save from private ex-
ploitation.
Result Left to Time.
There is no way of estimating &C.
curately how much in mere money
value Clifford Pinchot's preservation
policies have saved. to the republic.
The enormous aggregate will grow
with the passage Of time and the de-
velopment Of the great west.
It will be understood by the reader
that President Taft in deposing the
chief forester shows no disposition
whatever to discredit Mr.. Pinchot's
ten years labor in behalf Of the serv'
ice. The presidents action is based
upon Pinchot's very recent activities
in the Ballinger matter, resulting in
lis "going over the head' Of the CHEZ
executive in presenting his side Of the
case to the United States senate.

and built the Panama canal and the

Pinchot, despite his millions, devel-
oped early a civic ideal. His youth
full hobby was forestry. He studied
the science in America first and then
in several European countries. He be-
came known widely as a choice ex-
pert in his line. After he was appoint
ed to the post Of chief forester he
preached the conservation Of forest re-
sources 80 strongly that President
Roosevelt took the cue and made the
conservation Of all national resources
one Of the prime crusades Of his two
administrations.
Through Forester Pinchot, upheld by
President Roosevelt, vast areas Of the
western forest reserve were withdrawn
from settlement. They were with
drawn also from mineral prospecting,
from water power development and
free for all cattle grazing. This Gre
ated a storm Of protest. Pinchot was
accused Of putting a chuck block un-
der the wheels Of progress. he was
denounced by powerful interests in
some Of the western states as an au-
tocrat, a czar, a foe to the common
people, and all that sort Of thing.

as water from a ducks back. He ad-

KANDIYOHI COUNTY SHOWS A
SMALL GAIN IN POPULATION.

1.075; Pope gains 159; Chippewa
gains $50; Stearn gains 3,269.
When the details become public it
will no doubt be shown that the
gains have as a rule been made in
the cities and villages and that the
country population has diminished
slightly. The showing should spur
on all legitimate efforts to encour-
age the immigration of farmers from
the older states to come in and buy
and improve the vacant farms or
such as are being indifferently
farmed by tenants. If the methods
of farming in this county were in.
tensified to the degree which its
soil is capable Of. it would support
treble the population it now has,
or more. Here is worthy object

The Trial.

In this study we should remember that
Peter did not believe it possible for him
to be placed in the condition in which he
was subsequently found. He might have
conceded that in the coming conflict he
would be overcome and die. But he would
die as a soldier, and he would be true
to the last. But firmly, he, with the other
disciples, believed in a temporal kingdom
He believed in a coming conflict. but he
was sure that in it his Master would be
victorious If the temptation had only
come as he expected, then, indeed, would
he have been true.
But that surrender upon the part OF
Christ. That submissive yielding to the
Jewish and Roman authorities! Why
were not the heavens flashing with evil
dence of supernatural power and glory
Had the prophecies failed? Were the
traditions and teachings of fifteen hun
dred years untrue?
To add to his perplexity there was evil
IDENTIFY a change in the feeling of the
people toward Christ. Where were the
lmultitudes who, but yesterday, rent the
air with their hozannas to the Son OF
David? Even the servant maids were
ready with their taunts The disciples
had fed. Resistance was useless. AL
his theories had collapsed.
At such a time the brain becomes be-
wiidered and the nerves unstrung. In thu
court the people were gathered in group!
about the charcoal fire. Peter must need:
mingle with them or he would attrac
