The Lesson Enforced by Mr..
Alden Weir.

In seeking to answer them it is well
to begin, as we did last Sunday, at the
beginning. which is to say with French
Impressionism. There are some fine
examples of the school on the walls,
from which the student may easily see
what it was that set some Of our own
painters upon a new path. Manet
showed them the virtues of pure color,
applied in bold, direct fashion, and we
shall by and by be tracing his in
fuence; but at the outset Monet is the
more suggestive type. He it was who
taught us the vibration Of color under
the light of the open air. and it was in
emulation of his broken tones and his
pervasive luminosity that our latter
day innovators found their account.
Several of them are represented on this
occasion, and on the whole Mr.. Alden
Weir is the hero of the group. They
are all types of high ability. II is in
teresting TO note how the pictures by
the late j. II. Twachtman and the late
Theodore Robinson hold their own in
the company of masters like Manet,
Monet and Whistler. Mr. Childe Has
sam, too, richly exemplifies the ease
and effectiveness with which the I'm
pressionistic hypothesis was adopted
here But without drawing up any,
thing so futile as a class list or making
any invidious comparisons we may
nevertheless choose Mr.. Weir as
peculiarly helpful source of light on our
problem.
What was the value of French Inn
pressionism to American art? Its value
could only be that of a means to an
end. of an influence fertilizing indi-
vidualzed work. Turn TO Mr.. Weir's
pictures and you will see the perfect
proof. The present writer can well re-
member this artists earlier expert
ments in the open air, how indecisive
they were. and how poor a substitute
for the method he had previously en-
ployed AS time went on and success

principles Then, through sheer keep

OBTAINING TIMBER
BY FALSE PRET.ENSES
Foxy Timber Brokers Using the Law to
Protect Timber, to Rob Timber
Owners.

That the forestry department Of Ore.
gon keeps a weather eye open for the
protection of not only the timber, but
of the owners, against the foxy timber
broker, is attested by the following le..
ter which has been issued by the de
partment:
"It has been brought to the attcn.
tion of She state forester that some un.
scrupulous timber brokers are misrep.
resenting the provisions tof the com.
pulsory patrol law, which was enacted
by the recent legislative assembly, and
becomes effective June 2. Owners of
timber claims have been told that ~
der this law it will be necessary for
them to keep a patrolman on their
claims all summer, at their own OK
pense, and this has been urged as a rea.
son for sacrifice sales. Statements of
this kind are made purely for the pur.
pose of stimulating the sale Of timber
lands, thus increasing the business and
incidentally the commissions of timber
brokers.
"The law provides that every timtrr
land owner in the state not residing
within one and one.half miles of his
property, shall furnish sufficient pa,
troll therefor during the dry season, and
that in case he fails to do so the state
forester shall provide the same at a

of the timbered countries of the state.
It is expected that every timbered
county will have such an organization
before the fire season arrives. The
experience of these associations, some
of which have been in existence for
four years, proves that adequate patrol
can be secured at cost Of from ] u to
3la cents an acre, and if all Of the
timber land owners join, the acreage
cost will be materially decreased Pro.

THE BILL PROVES THE
GOVERNOR CONTENTION

Governor West has put a neat one
across on those who are responsible for
statements that the state penitenuary
revolving fund is in state of deplc
tion as a result of mismanagement On
the part of the executive. A bill intro.
duced in the legislature by the was
and means committee Of the house i'll
itself gives the lie to these statements.
At the beginning of the West admin.
istration there was approximately $1,000
in the revolving fund. There is nov in
the fund-and this is shown by figures
given in the bill-a sum of almost So.
OO0-to be exact $4,6l6.93. This am.
cunt is result of the prison s earnings
through the revolving fund. While the
revolving fund has been in existence
for some time, it has not been estab.
lished by legal enactment and the new
law recognizes the value of the fund
by placing a state law behind it.
Under the new law disbursements
from the fund are to be made in the
usual manner by the state board Of
control providing however, that when
the fund reaches an amount in excess
of 10000 the excess shall be paid into
the state institutions betterment fund
to be expended according to provisions
Of law.
