WASHINGTON, Feb. THE
amount of lumber cut in the
United States each year is three
times the total annual growth.
This lis the answer of the conser-
vationists to the demand that the
government cut more of its ma
tional forests. The government
holds only one-fifth of the total
timber supply of the country and
the private owners are eating up
the other four-fifths more rapidly
than it Is growing. The only
hope for the public is in the care
full outstanding of the one-fifth
which remains.

Michigan Libel Verdict will have Sober
ing Effect

The above caption is apropo in the
double sense. The result Of the Roose-
velt-Newett libel suit, which came to a
sudden end last Saturday when Editor
Newett publicly acknowledged in open
court that he was wrong in charging
that Theodore Roosevelt drank, or got
drunk, will have a most SOLDERING effect
on all those newspaper writers who
have in the past either maliciously or
recklessly charged public men with
reprehensible and damaging shortcom-
ings. Future claimants for damages
under the libel law may not be so gem
erous as was Mr.. Roosevelt with Editor
Newett, when he entered a disclaimer
for damages above the statutory six
cents that goes with the verdict for the
plaintiff, and paid his own costs. Those
Washington and Oregon papers that
out of pure malice, simply because
they disliked Roosevelt, printed stories
to the effect that Roosevelt was so
drunk at Seattle and Portland during

the last presidential campaign that he
mad TO be held up on the platform
while speaking may find comfort in the
fact that Roosevelt, is too big to be
vindictiye, and that, having convinced
the American people that he is neither
a drunkard nor drinking man, he is
satisfied to let all those who allowed
prejudice to prevail over judgement to
go unwhipt Of justice. The contempt
OF the fairminded is all the punishment
they merit.
The testimony Of those who have
made study of the effects of alco-
holic stimulants on the human sys-
TEN, its neve-desroying effect, its
lowering Of fatigue-resisting energy, not
to speak of the brain-fuddling and
muscle-warping effect, contains tenn

point Of view. Leaving the moral and
and financial argument out altogether.
1t will make a strong appeal to the
young men who want to succeed in
life-to those who realize that to win
in the battle of life the energy and the
nerve power must be conserved. These
experts have made it plain that the
use of alcoholic stimulants lowers the
vitality. They testified that Mr.. Roose-
welt could not have stood up under
the mental and physical strain that he
so often underwent if he had been
given to the even moderate use of
stimulants. was all one way.

his friend, Oliver Goldsmith, said:

Hate him." exclaimed Goldsmith;
Why, bless my soul. you don't even

''Ah, that's just the point" re-
Piled Johnson, If I knew him I'd
love him."
We are sure that this is also the
reason for the feeling many have Of
church services. If you really know
the Joy Of good singing and sincere
worship Of God in the study Of His
word you will attend some church
Sunday. Remember you are always
welcome at the Methodist Church.

Something For The Council to Work On

The need for additional facilities Of
communication between the north and
and south side of the Great Northern
track is so apparent that it is astonish-
ish that the matter has not been urged
before. Nov, however, since the Law
making !, an ofense to walk on the
company's right of way has gone into
effect it is so urgent that We cannot re-
frain from calling the attention Of the
council to a condition that is not only
intolerably inconvenient but from two
points Of view, which We will point out,
serious. The viaduct crossing the
tracks OF the railroad company just
about the center of the corporate lin
its Of the town is the one and only
safe means Of communication between
the north and south side. At the east
end Of the company's yard limit, about
half a mile from the viaduct, there is a
dangerous grade crossing for wagons.
A half mile west Of the viaduct, within
the yard limits of the railroad company
there is another grade crossing for
wagons. more dangerous than the east
end crossing. Up to this time peo-
pie have crossed the tracks wherever
they could find openings between the
cars, but now it is unlawful to do this.
Still, rather than go half mile out Of
their course people will take the risk
from force OF habit and TO save time.
In the past this practice resulted in
the death of girl and several other
less serious casualties.
Two thirds of the residences are To-
Gated on the north side, where build
ing is still in progress. The fire fight
ing apparatus is all on the south side.
In the event Of fire on the north side
the inconvenience of getting there
might easily result in serious loss.
There should be additional means Of
communication provided as speedily as
possible. Three hundred feet west OF
the depot there is an ideal place to
construct a subway, the safest OF all
crossings, crossings which the railroad
company has frequently announced it
preferred to all others, because they
are absolutely safe and do not interfere
with the operation of trains. If the
residents on the north side agree with
US get up a petition, a big one, and
the council cannot refuse to act.

SPECIAL NOTICE
Bridge and Road Change Needed

Numerous complaints have been
made to this Office in the past few
days on account Of the impossible con-
dition Of the road on the south side Of
the river above the mill company's
dam. The high water has submerged
the road for a considerable distance so
that people living in that portion OF
the valley cannot get to town with a
vehicle at all. There is but one way
that they can get to town and that is
afoot, and then only By crawling thru
fences and following the ridge back OF
the valley. Some eight families are
affected by the condition here called
attention to. This road has been a
source OF trouble ever since the mill
company's dam was built, but the
condition is worse this year because
the river is higher than it has been for
years. Some months since a petition
was circulated and numerously signed
asking the county commissioners to
change the location by making new
road following the hillside above the
valley out of range Of the high water.
What was done with the petition, or
whether any action at all was taken,
we do not know. Some six weeks ago
The Echo called attention to the need
Of bridge across the Icicle river in
what is known as the Cascade orchards,
but the commissioners took no notice
Of the matter, probably because the
people to be benefited by the bridge
took no steps to back up The Echo's
statement that such bridge was
needed. Had this matter been taken
up by the people living south oil the
Icicle river and presented to the
county commissioners it is possible
that some action might have been ia
ken. A bridge across the Icicle river
at the point indicated, comparatively
inexpensive affair, would provide a
way for the residents who are now cut
off by high water to get to town By
crossing the Wenatchee river on the
upper bridge. It is not too late to
agitate the building Of the Icicle river
bridge. Perhaps the inconvenience
caused by high water will stimulate
activity in the matter. In the mean
time the change in the road from the
valley to the hillside, south of town
should not be lost sight of. High wa
ter in the Wenatchee river is likely to
occur at any time and until the road
is put on higher ground it will be an
occasional source Of inconvenience.
Those affected by the change must
themselves take the initiative and not
let up until the change is made. All
others are only indirectly interested
and only passive interest may be ex-
pected from them.

Government stopped the work.
The upper layer of the sea bed
under the Channel consists of white
chalk somewhat penetrable ny
water. There is about a hundred
feet of this. Beneath it there is a
layer of gray chalk quite impene-
trable by water and about 200 feet
deep. Beneath this Is tremendous
stratum Of gault clay impenetrable
by water.
In the lower part of the impervi-
Gus gray chalk stratum the tunnel
will be constructed. 1t will have $50
feet of impervious chalk above it.
The tunnel will be bored by ro-
tary steel cutter, constructed upon
the principle of the familiar car
penter's bit. AS the bit cuts into
the chalk a rotary loader will pick
up the fragments of chalk and drop
them on little railway trucks which
will carry them back to the land.
According to the plans of the
British engineer, Sir Francis Fox,
the construction will consist Of two
single track tunnels, each Of eigh-
teen feet internal diameter, and thus
large enough to accommodate the
French and English railroad trains
when supplied with special electric
locomotives.
The two tunnels will be placed
thirty-six feet apart, measured from
centre to centre. and connected at
distances of 100 feet by cross gal
leries. 1t would be possible to leave

of the tunnels, but no risk will be
taken in such a matter. The tunnels
will be lined with steel segments OF

T~HE construction of a tunnel
under the English Channel,
u connecting England and
France, has been practically decided
on.
England will no longer be an isl
and, and the terrors of the Channel
passage, which have caused more
discomfort to passengers than any
other body of water in the world,
will cease to exist.
The Importance of this undertake
ing to the whole world and the com
parative ease with which 1t can be
carried out, make it the most pecu-
liar engineering project ever dis
cussed. The difficulties of con-
structing the tunnel lie far more in
personal and national peculiarities
than in natural obstacles. In build
ing the Panama Canal, the engineers
had only to consider expense and
natural obstacles, while in planning
the Channel tunnel the engineers
can regard expense and natural OBJ
stacles lightly, but it has been neces-
sary to overcome the entire insular
pGeiudices and sentiments of the
British nation.
1t is a singular accident of nature
that an undertaking so important to
the world can be carried out with so
little difficulty. Everybody who has
made the passage across the English
Channel from Dover to Calais must
have noticed the high white chalk
cliffs that line the shores on both
sides Now this chalk continues
under the sea all the way across the
channel Eight thousand behring's
lave been made into the chalk, and
fl is certain that 1t goes all the way
