but am opposed to reputation or to
anything that smacks of reputation.
l am not opposed to postponement. but
l am opposed to any attempt to obtain
it by the intimidation of boards of
directors, or of government officials.
Furthermore, do not believe that
either an attempt at reputation or an
attempt at intimidation would be sue
cessful
"The organized attempt that has
been made to intimidate me has not
been successful, for have not receded
and will not recede from a single po-
sition l have taken. am not one Of
those who proclaim their willingness
to get everything for the farmers that
the farmers want. But l am willing
to use my utmost efforts to get for the
farmers what they need, if this can be
done without any compromise of
honor at first believed that it could
be so done. Perhaps it still can be
done. But certainly not by methods
of intimidation, for as ! have said,
these have not succeeded with me, and
l do not believe that either Mr.. Davis
or Secretary Fall is less difficult to
intimidate than l am.
"The water users can do nothing
for me. 1t is possible that can still
do something for them. But do not
insist upon the privilege of being per-
mitted to do it. Realizing that my
presence at the head Of the recently
appointed committee was the cause of
the recent attacks made on the board,
l insist upon Withdrawing from that
committee-unless my presence thereon
is not only desired but insisted upon
by every member of the board.
"You cannot compromise, gentle
men. / will not act on committee
whose other members must apologize
for my presence thereon. l will re-
cede from no single public statement
! have made to make my presence on
this committee more acceptable. You
must either repudiate me completely.
or completely accept the principles for
which l stand"
Vice President Al Neale, who pre-
sided at the meeting, then called for
an expression from each member of
the board to express himself frankly
as to whether or not he thought that
DIR. McClanahan should remain on the
committee. Each member expressed
himself emphatically that it was his
desire that the DR.. should remain,
some of them expressing the opinion
that they thought that the DR.. could
do as much or more toward securing
a postponement as any other water
user on the project. Consequently
DR.. McClanahan remains a member of
the committee.

Little Embarrassed.

Newcomers to New York by steam
ship begin to learn things about the
city as soon as their vessel gets head
ed up the harbor. There was party
of such on a vessel from Southern
ports.
From the roof of a high downtown
office building they saw what APP
peared to be a string of signal flags
swapping in the breeze. Some were
white. some were striped and one big
one was a flaming red.
IF we only knew the code we could
tell what they mean" said member
of the party. Perhaps they indicate
what channel we are to take up the
river"
"Or maybe they are weather warn
ings of some kind" guessed another.
Lets ask one of the officers"
They did. The officer looked first
with the naked eye and then with his
glasses.
That's the janitor's wash hung out
on the roof to dry" he announced, as
he finished his survey. The big red
one is a tablecloth.' -Pittsburgh Dis

TO REsTocK BRITISH FORESTS
Importatlons of Fir and Spruce From
Canada Are to Be Made for
the Purpose.

The British Isles are TO be refor-
ested with Douglas fir and SitkaN
spruce from British Columbia. To OBJ
tain the necessary seed, seed ex-
tracing plant will be established at
Westminster by the dominion forestry
service.
Shipment of green cones has been
found impracticable. The new plant
will handle ton and a half of cones
every six hours. The cones will be
dried under hot air blast and as they
open, the seed will fall from the dry
ing cylinder of fine mesh into a hop
per- Present requirements call for
5000 pounds each of fir and spruce
seed annually for which it will be
necessary to gather 40 tons of cones.
Sitka spruce cones will be collected
on the Queen Charlotte islands where
the tree flourishes in abundance. The
cones of the Douglas fir will be gath
cred on the western slopes of the
Rocky mountains tributary TO the
Fraser river.
This is fur country of the HudsOn's
Bay company, now closing out its
lands in the prairie provinces to farm
settlers. The company's posts are still
dotted through this region of primeval
| wilderness.
Investigations of the British com
mission working out the vast refor'
[ estation scheme have shown Douglas
FIR and Sitka spruce best adapsed fol-
! the purpose.
Centuries of tree cutting have left
the islands of the British group de
nuded of forests and reforestation /:
necessary to replenish the timber.
