FORESTRY NOTES
Capital journal Special Service. J

Capital journal Special Service)
Portland, Ore, Jan. 7-On the Alaska
coast the salmon packers, towns, and
settlers use 400O0,000 feet of timber a
year from the Chugach and Tongass Ma
tional forests.
It is estimated that 100,000,000
pounds of beef and mutton are sold
each year from herds and flocks Occur
pying the National forest range.
Timber trespass on the National for
ests is no longer important in amount or
character. The incentive has been large
ly removed by the availability Of Ma.
tional forest stumpage under free use
or reasonable terms of sale. New tres.
pass cases are usually the result of un
intentional error in regard to title or
the location Of boundaries.
A million and half railroad ties are
now cut from the National forests year
ly.
The number Of animals now sustained
on the National forests in proportion to
the area, is so per c~nt greater than it
was 10 years ago.
The forest service is cooperating in
game protection under definitely agreed
plans with the states of Arizona, New
Mexico, California, Oregon, Idaho,
Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, Montana and

HIGHWAY Commission
ASKS FOR MORE LIGHT .
IN ENGINEERING CASE
John H. Lewis JOINS With
Board In Seeking to Settle
! Controversy

The State Highway commission has
asked the supreme court for a further
Interpretation of the recent opinion of
Justice Bean on the state highway en-
gineering tangle and McNary & Nc
Nary have filed petition to this ef-
feet with the clerk of the supreme
court. The petition asks for rehear-
ing in the case but actually desires on
ly further Interpretation in the mat
ter and additional argument by attor-
neys may not be necessary.
State Highway Engineer John II.
Lewis stated today that he would Join
with the board in petitioning for re-
hearing as he desired that the matter
be entirely cleared up on all points in
the interests Of efficiency and harmony
in the department.
The petition filed asks for rehear-
ing ON three points as follows:
First Admitting the repugnancy
Of the latter part of section 3, chap
ter 337, laws Of 1915, to section 20,
article 4, of the state constitution, yet,
does the former portion of the statute
remain complete and constitutional
enactment7 The commission and its at
torneys hold that the court g opinion
infers the constitutionality of the form
er portion of the law. This is the por-
ton that gives the commission power
to construct the state highways and the
governor, as its chairman, power to ap-
point highway engineer who shall be
scientifically educated in road building.
Second Considering both chapter
337 of the laws of 1915 and chapter
339 of the laws of 1913, is the duty
of the actual road construction i'm
posed upon the state engineer ? The
commission holds that it is not.
Thirds the deputy state engi-
neer responsible to and under the di.
rection Of the state engineer, or is he
the creature and answerable to the
state highway commisson9 The com
mission holds that the later is the
meaning of the law,

Wants CallOus Conscience
So Quits University Work
Correspondence Student Desires No
Prickings When He "Tramples
Upon the Faces of the Poor"

University of Oregon, Eugene, Jan.
10.-Because he fears a university edu-
cation will give him good conscience,
one student in the correspondence-study
department has quit. What he wants,
he writes, is ga callous conscience and
slumbering pity"
Correspondence.study letters are con
fidential and so the name and home
town of this student are withheld, but
here are his sentiments:
"I realize that with college educa-
tion my conscience might interfere with
my life's embitions. These ambitions
are to get riches, no matter by what
method; to secure fame, even at the
cost of million souls; to trOmple upon
the faces Of the poor and make the rich
bow before me. In the realization of
these ambitions, need callous con-
science and slumbering pity"
The student then remarks that he
understands the main purpose Of higher
education to be the instilling of culture,
the development of character, and cul-
tivation of social usefulness in young
men and women.
"By so doing it is claimed the univer-
sity benefits society as whole, which
claim seems founded upon substantial
fact" he writes. "College men and
women have a broader and deeper view
of life, so that social service appeals to
them.
"But it appeals to me" he protests.
IA higher education might cause
some virtue to be inculcated in me that
might perhaps cause guilty conscience
to prick me. Therefore, I say, must
avoid such deterrent" +"
He thereupon withdraws from further
study

Aboard Frederick VIII, near Kirk
walk, Scotland, Dec. l6.-(Special to
the Capital Journal. )-The good ship
Frederick VIII with "a members of
Henry Ford IS second peace party
aboard is now well within the war zone,
Since leaving New York a week ago
we have, with the exception of our
wireless communication, been isolated
from the world. We saw our first ship
today--a British cruiser, the Virginian.
The Virginian is une of many mer-
chantmen that have been converted by
the British into patrol vessels. This
guarded against possible invasions
from hostile fleets. The Virginian sent
two officers and crew aboard the Fred
erick. Passports were examined and
English sailors left on our boat to ac-
company us to Kirkwalk where the
ships cargo will be inspected.
Everything favorable the Frederick
will arrive in Christiania, Norway, by
Sunday. We expect to join the first
Ford party there and continue with
them to The Hague.
The Pacific coast is well represented
in this party. Due to the long trip
across the continent and the difficulty
in securing passports, only two of the
coast representatives made the Oscar,
Mrs. Graft, of Portland, and the stu
dent representative of the University of
California. On this boat besides myself
are Emil Hurja, representing the Uni
versity of Washington; A. j. Hettinger,
of Stanford, and p Monroe Smock, of
New Plymouth, Idaho, representing
Governor Moses Alexander, of Idaho.
Mr.. Smock is national committeeman of
the progressive party.
When left Eugene some two weeks
ago, had slight ideas only concerning
the methods by which Mr.. Ford is at
tempting to bring about peace in war
torn Europe still am uncertain. 1
find that the other members of this
party are uncertain also. I don't be-
lieve Mr.. Ford himself knows exactly
how the thing is to be done. But we
are hopeful for two reasons: First,
because of Mr.. Ford g demonstrated
ability in the past to perform that
which he set out to do, and second, as
expressed by DR.. Aked, of San Fran

cisco, passenger on the Oscar, "you
can t rub the brains of several hundred
people together without producing some
good somewhere, sometime"
Leisure time on the boat has given
me an opportunity to investigate Mr..
Ford's career more closely than l ever
have before. Mr.. Ford is not radical
idealist, in the first place. Any man
who can redeem business from an ab-
solute failure and convert it into a gi-
gantic enterprise doing business of
over $l50,000,000 year surely is not
an idealist. He is anything but an ideal
list. He represents more forcibly, pos
sibly, than any other American, the
practical mindedness of the American
people. He sees things as they are. He
sees this great war as it is. He realizes
something must be done to stop the
slaughter of 10000 men daily on the
battlefields of Europe to say nothing
of the terrible destruction Of the in
dustry of centuries. He feels that the
neutral powers under the leadership of
our own should take the initiative in
bringing about yeace.
am not informed as to Mr.. Ford IS
opinion concerning the administration s
position on official intervention. Con-
versing with several members of our
party, / find that there is no fault
to find with Mr.. Wilson's policy. They
feel that the president did all in his
power when he offered the good offices
Of our country at the outbreak of the
conflict. / firmly believe that Mr..
Ford is prompted by the loftiest of mo-
tives in this matter. In my opinion,
he has no idea Of embarrassing Amer
lean diplomacy.
There are about 80 student represen-
tatives in the peace mission, represent
ing the principal colleges and univer-
sites of the United States. think that
it is the general feeling among the stu
dents that the part we are to play con-
sists mainly in listening and observing.
All those to whom / have talked are
open-minded and have no prejudices on
one side or the other. Personally, I am
going to form no opinions until l have
seen things as they are.
