servation problem both from the
standpoint of the permanent require
ments of the lumber trade and from
that of the continued prosperity of
the public at large
Mr.. Graves proposed that those lum-
bermen who are interested make an
immediate test of the practice of for
estry on their holdings, that it be re-
garded as a beginning with a view of
ascertaining the possibility of forest
ry, then an attempt to establish an
organized system. To accomplish
this object, he suggested they asso-
ciate themselves either through their
trade associations, or by new asso-
citation, in order thai the expenses or
forestry be reduced to Z minimum;
and that each owner set aside LOCO
to 10000 acres as a practical demon
stration ground He also proposed
that there be employed by the asso-
citation a forester to direct the techni-
cal work, and that each owner EN-
ploy such local guards or rangers as
are necessary to carry out the fire
regulations, and restrictions of cut
tings.
Forester Graves held that for mos

jackson. April 21-The Mississippi
Railroad Commission has a knotty
problem in hand, and one that proba-
bly, will require some time to settle.
1t is a controversy between the Cum
berland Telephone company and sew
eral independent companies. The
commission heard several complaints
and a statement by a representative
of the Cumberland company, when
the matter was taken under advise
ment.
The complaints grow out of a re-
duction of rates at several points in
the state, where there is competition.
The commission has a maximum, but
not a minimum rate, and it seems to
be fight to the death between the
Cumberland and the independents,
with the Cumberland cutting rates at
every turn of the wheel. The COM
mission has no jurisdiction in the
matter, so far as known, but a thor

in permanent forestry may well take
this into account, Reproduction can
be secured naturally in most cases
where a second cut is contemplated.

while, in the first place, for the sake
of the increased sale value of natural

Is THE TIME OPPORTUNE?

Secretary Hitchcock joins with
President Taft in the recommends
ton that postmasters, including the
first to the third classes, be placed
on the civil service basis. Before
this statutory reform can be made,
however, it will be necessary to kill
off few more old time politicians
in congress who are not able to dis
criminate between patriotism and the
public good and partisan politics.
Even IN the rank and file OF both
parties there are whole lot
of voters who pride themselves on
party loyalty but whose conceptions
of politics never rises higher than
the hope that they may land a po-
litical job either for themselves or
one of their family. If all patronage
were taken away from congressman,
the plane of American politics would
be raised to a much higher level.
Great national issues then might be
settled on their merits.

BELL STRIKES "13"
Popular Stock Company Returns for
Third Week Stand With

Something about the Raymond
Bell Co. just suits the playgoers of
Wenatchee. Other attractions come
and so. Some of them get the bust
ness and some of them don't. but
the Bell company never fails to fill
the house to utmost capacity. The
secret probably lies in the fact that
these plyaerS never fail to give a
good show and the prices are within
the reach of all who like to laugh
and be entertained with a meritori-
Gus and clean production.
Last night was the initial perform
ance of the third week of the Bell
company in this city during the pres
ent season. The big audience ap-
peared better pleased than ever. In
fact numerous remarks were over
heard as people were passing out to
the effect that it was the best show
seen here this season.

bill. 1t was a strong story, full of

NATIONAL WASTE.

It seems Incredible that this ma
ton should spend 1894, 100000 or
Whereabouts annually for the sup
mort of military and naval establish
ments, but this is the amount which
the estimates for 1911 call for. The
military expenses of England and
Germany are greater than those of
the United States. Following the
lead of these great powers, Canada,
Italy, Japan and the host Of little
mowers are impoverishing them
selves by creating and attempting to
keen their ornaments at proportion
ate efficiency.
These great ornaments may pre-
vent war, but it would. seem that
modern intelligence should be able
to devise some method by which this
national expenditure for waste
should be directed to productive en-
terprise. 1t is significant that Car

may not realize that the country is
just now at a stage of transition

that it is prudently locking the sta

not be stolen before the owner has

WANTS BACK MONEY He
SENT WIFE WHO DIED
Mine Operator Sues Administra-
trix of SpouSe's Estate
for $4,000

John Henderson, a minino operator,
residing in Mexico for the most part,
yesterday applied to the superior court
to help him out of dilemma regard
Ing money which he said he sent to
his wife, Elizabeth Henderson, who
died in Pasadena August 80.
Henderson says that four years ago
he took his family to the Crown City
because he wanted his children to have
the benefit of the educational facilities
there. Frequently he sent money to
his wife which she deposited in his and
her names in the Union Savings bank
of that city.
A short time before her death, he al
leges, he sent her draft for $4,000
which, for some reason unknown to
him, although he is inclined 10 believe
it was a mistake, she deposited in her
name alone.
After Mrs. Henderson's death, Mary
S. Henderson was made Administrative
of the dead woman's estate and, find
ing the bank account in her name, re-
fused to give 1t up to the plaintiff in
the present action, who wants the court
to order her to do so, saying that he
had no intention of making his wife
present of the money but merely was
providing for their children, as any
husband and father is supposed to
care for his family.
