The Waste Of Timber.

The forestry plutocrats say that
cutting and sell the timber for rea-
sonable price. This is probably true
for they demand the same price that
is exacted by the great timber barons
OF thhe west. but certainly the pri-
mary object of this autocratic bureau
was not to get high price for tim
Der. but to permit the public, the
American people. to use what other
wise will be wasted. This is not and
never has been in accordance with the
conservation about which they have
talked so much
Their idea of conservation as prac-
ticed is not to allow the use of tim
Der but to waste it and compel the
people to pay for seven per cent of
that crop as much as they should pay
for the entire 100 per cent. Much of
the timber that the forest service
passes out to its friends is sold upon
long term contracts, giving the pur-
chaser many years in which to remove
the timber and pay for It. This leads
to monopoly and to keeping the lum-
Der off the market at a time when
there Is such an alarming scarcity for
the needs of the generation. 1t leads
to speculation. especially as the pur-
chaser can hold the standing timber
through a period of years without the
payment of taxes. a privilege that is
not extended to any other class of
property. It has been the brag of the
kid-gloved bureaucrats that 1t is of
as much benefit to them to allow the
timber to rot as to put 1t on the mar
ket for they get as much money under
the high price asked as they might
otherwise receive for the whole
If anything needs sprucing up with
good trimming It is this dear old
ne'er-do-well forestry bureau with its
multifarious grating propensities. The
inexcusable shortage of wood pulp
for making paper is absolutely due to
the neglect of this baby forestry in
not planting the white spruce during
the eighteen years II has been in the
saddle. for in that length of time n
great forest of such trees could have
been grown In a thousand places and
1t is from this material that ninety
eight per cent OF our paper stock is
composed. The extravaganza of the
bureau has been quite sufficient to
have reforested all the mountain sides
in Colorado with second growth snruce

Alumni Men Entertain Senior Boys

OF the senior class and the men of

last Wednesday evening. Through
the courtesy of Secretary Norris and
the men of the Commercial Club the
students and alumni were given free
sway over the Commercial Club
rooms. No attempt at formality or
"speechmaking" was made, the even
ing being given over to fun and moth
ing else. The object of the affair
was to promote a closer acquaint-
ance between the school boys and the
men of the alumni, and games of
various sorts succeeded admirably in
attaining this end. Coffee, dough-
nuts, cookies and apples were served
grab and eet" style. The alumni
association is becoming more active
factor in high school affairs this
spring than ever before and many
plans are laid for further events. The
employment bureau for high school
students is already beginning to Sc

Ashland Saturday while on a coast

Having nothing to do in the evening,
he dropped into the Vining Theatre,
and when he presented his fifteen
cents at the ticket window nearly
fell over backwards when he recog-
nized Mrs. Bergner, whom he had not
seen for years and did not know was
anywhere near Ashland. A joyous
reunion followed. On Sunday in
company with the Bergners the visit

beauties.
