Captain John b. White, addressing the

a director of the National Lumber
Manufacturers association and past
president of the national conservation

1T is safe to say" said Captain
White, that in all questions relating
to the forests and to the timber In
dustry, whether they concern tree cut
ting, tariff or taxes, they should be
judged and settled by and to the best
interests of conservation.
who shall plant lumber trees? The
planting of fruit trees is q CONNER
cial business, as they mature to bear
fruit In from four to twelve years. The
harvest comes two score or more
times during the life Of him who
plants. But with lumber trees, there
is only one crop in generation. AS
an investment 1t Is not attractive.
"The state pays no taxes, can get
money at a lower rate Of interest, and

OPIUM CONGRESS TO
PLAN SUPPRESSION

Washington, D. c., June 4.-The
international opium congress will re-
assemble at The Hague July ! next
and DR.. Hamilton Wright who will
represent the United States, is TAX
ing up the question Of his mission
with President Wilson. The president
has taken special interest In the
opium traffic, suppression, regarding
It as one of the most striking and
conclusive examples of the efficacy
of the commission method of dealing
with great International questions.
Practically all Of the nations Of
the world that have any possible con-
Germ in the opium traffic will be rep
resented at the July gathering, ex-
cept Turkey. That country hereto
fore has refrained from participation
under the apprehension that the re
strictions would cripple one of it's
important industries. AS it has now
developed that the Turkish opium is
SO high in grade as to be valued
chiefly for medicinal purposes, 1t is
expected Turkey will see fit to ad-
here to the general agreement. =

FRISCO FINALLY
RID OF OLD HORSE CAR

San Francisco, CAL, June 4.-Mayor
Rolphs drove the last horse car in San
Francisco in it's last trip yesterday
from the Ferry building to the scrap
heap. With a drivers cap on his
head, the mayor took the reins from
J. H. Lee, who for twenty-six years had
driven the same car on the same run
from the Embarcadero to the foot of
Sansome street. p.
The car had been rafting over the
streets Of San Francisco for thirty-two
years. Only in New York and San
Francisco have the quaint little boxes
on wheels with their tiny windows,
swinging oil lamps and low platforms,
persisted after they had outIlved their
usefulness, and in both cities for the
same reason-the desire to keep alive
franchise rights.
