portant 1t is estimated that Idaht
has approximately 100000, 100000 fee
OF standing timber, the manufacture
OF which will add hundreds of mil
lions of dollars to the wealth of the
state.
At the present time the manufact-
ures of the state amount to $22,399 sec
of which $10,6S9,31O, or AIT per cent
are derived from lumber and wood
products.
The total taxes paid by manufact-
ures in Idaho amount to $350,21S of
which the lumber manufacturers pay
53.7 per cent. This does not include
the taxes on standing timber. The to-
tai capital invested in manufactures
in Idaho is 2,476,749 of which so per
cent is invested in over 256 lumber
mills and factories. In 1909 634 per
cent of the total number of persons
employed as wage earners in factories
in Idaho were employed in the manu-
faCture of wood products.
In speaking of forest protection in
Idaho, Professor Shattuck said: ''Thc
manufacturers of lumber and timber
products have organized and developed
number of forest protection assocja-
tiGnC in Tdobn hot off aio n
not equalled in any other state and
probably not in any locality i'll the
world" These associations protect
3 100000 acres of land while they own
but 1,514,000 acres, the remainder be-
longing either to private parties. the
state or the United States go ,rn-
ment.
In 1911 over $250,O0O was spent by
the government in permanently inn
proving and protecting the forests of
Idaho. Over 500 men are employed
on the forest reserves of
Idaho, as forest officers and guards,
md, during the summer, the number
S much greater These men protect
100000 acres of forests worth $780,,

But our forests should not be stu

water sheds and consequently as con-
ervators of our great water supply,

river, yet this river and all of Its main
tributaries draw their water supply
from the TO 'est-ciad mountains, which
carefully conserve the moisture and
dole it out gradually and continuously. -
1t is very important that we keep
the head waters of our streams COW
cred with forests in order That the
farms and orchards may be the most
productive of wealth.
The forests are also important as
health producers and pleasure giving
sources of recreation. Of this phase of
| forest utility, Professor Shattuck said:
who has not felt his heart beat
quicker and his vigor of mind and
spent in the forests? Here we find the
fish and the game, the pure atmos-
phere, with it's health-giving ozone,
the clear, cold, sparkling brook, the
shady glen with it's song birds, it's
flowers and ferns, and beauty of
landscape unequalled-all because of
the snow-slide sweep them from the
hills and the scene becomes suddenly
changed. The bare rocks, hot and
glistening in the sun, invite no living
thing; desolation and death-like still
ness reigns supreme. Even the rivu-
let from the melting SHOWS in spring |

Under the head, Some Things That
Every Citizen of Idaho Should Know"
Professor Shattuck mentions the fol-
lowing:
1st That Idaho's forests constitute
one of her greatest natural resources,
and that they will improve or retro

policy.
2nd. That Idaho's climate and soil
are wonderfully well adapted to the
renewal of her forests

IDAHO AND FORESTRY
Professor Shattuck Discusses Forest
Problems and Interests i'm
This State.

At assembly Wednesday Professor
Shattuck of the forestry department
addressed the students on the subject
of "Why the Citizens of Idaho Should
be Interested in Forestry"
''In the solution of our numerous
problems, said Professor Shattuck,
every citizen should have an interest
and should help in bringing the state
up to those ideal forestal conditions
which we find in some of the better
countries of Europe" A country may
be said to have reached it's ideal in
soil development when every acre of
land is producing to it's utmost that
which it will produce best Idaho is
young and for this reason is perhaps
further from this ideal than are some
of the older states, but she has the
advantage of profting by their mis-
takes and thus avoiding the losses and
damages which they have suffered as
a result OF the wanton destruction of,
or. the failure to care for their natural
resources.
In the early days the doctrine of
conservation of natural resources had
not the hold upon the people which it
has today. 1t was practiced by some
but the movement had not taken the |
concrete form, the definite organiza-
ton and the stated policy which it has
today.
Public sentiment" said Professor
Shattuck, ,'had not crystalized into
that law which says, Men shall not
in our generation destroy which Ma
ture has for centuries been storing,
not for him only, but for his children
and his children's children for many
We have but four great natural re-
sources, the soil, the minerals, the wa
ter, and the forests. These are more
or less dependent upon one another,
and should be carefully conserved and .
made to produce the greatest posi-
bic returns with the smallest consump- ]
lion of the raw material employed :

INSIST ON FREE
PULP AND PAPER
Diplomats Urge Their Claia1 TO
Concession.
SLOW ACTING OF COURTS
Quandary In Which the Government
Finds Itself On Account OF Its
Arrangement With Canada
Not Easily Disposed.

Observation-Disclosures pulp and
print paper manufacturers are bring
ing pressure to bear upon President
Taft to induce him TO refuse to yield
TO the demand of certain European
governments for the free admission OF
their pulp and print paper on terms OF
equality with the Canadian product.
The disposition Of the administration
has been to let this matter be deter
mined by the courts but as this in
wolves long delay the diplomatic pro-
testants are by no means satisfied and
are adopting measures to show their
resentment.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
Ambassador, has informed the State
Department that Germany would not
accord to American exporters the re-
duced duties on tool steel and hard
rubber accorded to Swedish and
Japanese exporters under their special
treaties because America did not admit
German wood pulp and print paper
freegof duty.
TIE Ambassador was reminded that
the German exporters would not suf-
fer by the delay if their claim was
just, because they had paid the duties
into the American Treasury under
protest, which gives them the right to
recover in case the Court Of Customs
Appeals should decide in their favor,
as is expected.
1t was thought at first that this ex-
PLANTATION was sufficient, but it now
appears the Ambassadors statement
is virtually renewed protest against
the failure of the administration to ad-
just the matter automatically instead
of judicially
In view of the peculiar conditions
under which Canadian pulp and paper
got upon the free list, in spite of the
failure of the reciprocity measure,
some consideration is being given to
the propriety of leaving to Congress
the adjustment of the international
that have arisen.

1t is apparent that the couple do

fully established when Rech, through

port Issued.

Washington.-A preliminary state
ment giving the distribution of the
foreign-born white population of Con-
tineutal United States according TO
country Of birth, as shown by the re-
turns Of the census of 1910, has just
been issued by Director Durand.
The statement covers only the prln-
cipal countries Of birth--those, in gen
eral for each of which at the census
of 1910 upward of 100000 persons were
reported-and the figures for 1910 are
given in round numbers, being subject
to possible revision as the result OF
later tabulations All the statistics
relate to white persons only.
From 1921 to 1870 natives OF Ger
many, Great Britain, Ireland, Scandi-
navia and Canada together contribut-
ed substantially nine-tenths of all the
immigrants to this country, but since
1870 their proportion Of the total num-
Der has steadily declined-from some
what more than fOur-ffths for 1871
1880 to three-fourths for 1881-1S90,
about two-fifths for 1S91-1900, and
only a little more than one-fifth for
1901-1910.
Immigrants from Austria Hungary,
Italy and Russia, on the other hand,
constituted less than per cent. OF all
the immigrants from 1921 to 1870, but
thereafter their proportion has stead
lily increased-from about one-six-
teenth for 1871-18S0 to one-siXth for
18S1-1890, one-half for 1S91-1900 and
very nearly two-thirds for 1901-1910
At the census of 1910 out of an ap-
proximate total for Continental Unit
ed States of 13,342,500 foreign-born
whites, the persons born in Germany
numbered 2,499,200 and constituted
1877 per cent, as compared with g,
813,413 in 1900, or 27.5 per cent. Of
the total at that census. This is
loss in the number of natives of Ger
many during the decade of 314,213, or
lip per cent.
At the census of 1910 there were re-
ported 1851 400 persons born in Ire.
land, constituting 10.1 per cent Of the
entire foreign-born white population,
as compared with 1,615,232 persons so
born, or 1873 per cent. of the total, at
the preceding census, loss from 1909
to 1910 of 263832, or 1853 per cent.
During the decade 1900-1910 there
was an increase in the number OF ma
tives of Great Britain from 1,166,863 to
1921, 400, or Al per cent; an increase
in the number Of natives of Canada
and Newfoundland from 1,172,745 to
1913, 600 or % per cent, and an in
crease in the number of natives of
I Norway Sweden and Denmark from
1861 24 to 1,250,5 or 1T per cent.
Natives Of each of these groups of
countries, as well as of Germany and
Ireland, constituted a considerably less
proportion of the total foregn-born
white population in 1910 than in 1900.
Natives Of all OF these countries taken
together were 56.4 per cent. of the
total in 1910, as against 1866 per cent.
in 1900.
