ITS EVASIVE DODGING.

The Deserct News undertakes to

faith of the church leaders with re

Duerile denial. 1t ignores the real

about H. The Tribune has presented
the same facts repeatedly, and the
facts have never been challenged and
cannot he challenged.
The News hypocrltically snivcis that
it IS sorry TO see The Tribune show "a
disposition TO resume a discussion that
ought to have been cnddcd for ever
with the beginning of new era in our
city government But the new era in
our city government has nothing
whatever 10 do with this question, nor
has The Tribune Presumed - the dis

REFORM OF FORESTRY SERVICE

The proposition 10 keep the Forestry
Service out of politics is certainly a

VIC believe that he is trying to do It.
But there is still room for improve.

California, sends ont notice that no

before rs. That is unqucstionabIy
the fact,aif the chief object of getting
forestry into actual practice is the
planting aud nurture Of trees. Gen
orally, however. in all this western
country. forestry agents busy them
selves more with the collection Of.
grazing tolls from the range than in
tue planting or growth Of the trees;
in fact if they undertook 10 raise
trees where they now sell grazing
privileges. those grazing privileges
would bc eliminated. because the grass
would die out if the trees grew, unless.
indeed, the sheep that erazed on the
ranges would eat the rouug trees as
they sprout at the same time that they
eat the grass. The ridiculous nature
of the whole forestry movement has
beer evident on two main grounds.
