AGRrcuLTuRE AND FORESTRY,

The growing of agricultural crop
such as wheat and oats upon the farm
has much in common with growing O.
white and yellow pine, red and whit,
fir, cedar and spruce within the for
est. The main difference is that graf,
is an annual crop while timber re
| quires from so to l20 years to make il
merchantable crop.
A careful forest practice is being
considered and put into operation by
many men who are interested in grow.
ing and the marketing of timber. F.
the lay mind modern forest practice
means, the cutting of mature timber
with due regard for the young growth,
the encouragement of the most valua-
BILE species of trees, the reduction of
the fire hazard by the proper disposal
of all slash resulting from the logging
operation.
The next large timber operations in
Northern idaho are going to take
place within the Clearwater Valley.
Many of these operators will practice
forestry to large extent, particularly
so with reference to the elimination of
fire hazards.
This is especially important to the
surrounding country because it means
the building up of permanent lumber
industry. This newly established bus
mess in our locality will mean ready
market for much grain, hay and live
stock. While machinery has replaced
horses to some extent in logging, yet
horses will be used due to the various
conditions met with in logging within
the Inland Empire.
If our neighboring forests are not
Dvercut and if the young growth now
On the land is continuously protected
from fire the lumber industry which |
IS developing should prove permanent
A permanent industry such as this
should prove profitable to the Nez-
,erce territory through the creation of
steady local market for farm pro-
lucts.
This is proclaimed "Forest Protec-
ion Week" by our President-Aprfi
e. -2s-and the same sentiment toward
,ur forests that dominates this week
hould not cease throughout the year.

Tor me to understand why any ono
shouid do such a thing who. lives in

quarter of a century and lived here
when we had no railroad near us and
] know how anxious we were to eet

why not patronize it and keep it. r
have driven from here to Lewiston
before we had road closer than that.
have rode on the stage from here
10 kamiah through the rain and snow
and mud and have done the same
thing when the road was built to Voll
mer, when it would take five hours
to make the trip and we would be half
frozen when we got there or home.
Now the automobile is all right
when it is good weather but when II
IS bad and the roads are muddy and
you get stuck in mud hole and prop
ably be there for an hour or two and
may have to get some other way I'd
get out and wade through the mud
then you are not much better off than
with the old stage for you knew then
you would get through even though
it did take long time to get through! /
Now what do you think will become
of your town if the railroad quits
DO you realize that the Rochdale Co.
will quit here then? Do you realize
that the warehouses will all close
down? Do you realize that the grafi
buyers will move awayi Do you rear
ize that you will have no use for thcIl
dray lines and lot of other thingsi
that will quit until your town will ba
cut down to one half of the present.
Mr.. merchant, do you realize thar
{ the grain is hauled to some otherI
own to- market that your trade will
1e cut to half what it is at presently
Now don't think that this makes asi
much difference to us as it does scl
you as we can haul our grain to somel

If you viii all get together anc

PRESIDENT TO GIVE
GOVERNORS VIEW
No Comment on Pinchot Sug-
gestion Before Saturday
Parley.

President Coolidge will present his
views on prohibition to the governors
law-enforcement conference to be
held here Saturday and in the mean
time will have no comment to make
on Gov. Pinchot's suggestion that the
President take into his own hands
the task of dry-law enforcement.
At the opening of the governors
conference the President is expected
to discuss the question of enforce
ment in some detail, but II Is not
known to what extent he will deal
specifically with the Pennsylvania
governors suggestion as made in an
address yesterday at the citizenship
conference here.
Henry j. Allen. former republican
Governor of Kansas, who was q
luncheon guest at the White House
this afternoon, took issue with Gov.
Pinchot's suggestion that tae Presi-
dent personally take over prohibition
enforcement
Striking back at the PENNSYLVANIA
executive, Gov. Allen declared with
much emphasis. IF l were governor
Of a state and city in that state
violating the law the citizens of that
city would wake up the next morning
at the sound of bugle reveilIe and
would go to bed to the tune of taps.
I would keep the state military in
that city until my orders were
obeyed"
Gov. Allen added that while he had
the highest regard for the Pennsyl-
vania governor, he thought 1t III ad-
vised for him to cast reflection upon
the President in the matter Of pro-
hibition enforcement. Gov. Allen in
making his retort. had in mind the
refusal on the part of the authorities
of Philadelphia to obey the order of
Gov. Pinchot to close 1900 saloons
operating in that city.

7CENT CASH FARE
OR 3 TOKENS ASKED
Clayton's Appeal to Utilities
Body Opposed by Two
Car Line Heads.

If the Public Utilities Commission
decides it would be unwise to au-
thorize sale of three car tokens for
20 cents. il should reduce the cash
fare from s to Z cents. in the opin-
ion of William NICK. Clayton, attorney
for the Federation of Citizens As
sociations, at a public hearing at the
District building today
: William F. Ham. president Of the
W. r. & E. testified that at the
present time 20 per cent OF his pas
sengers pay Scent cash fare. but
that IL tokens were sold at three for
20 cents, only 10 per cent would pay
cents. This, he said, would make a
cot of S104 .207.46 a year in the COM
pany's revenues.

The following men spoke in sup
port of Clayton's arguments: Evan

tion; Mai. ID. s. Fletcher Takoma

son of the Conduit Road Association

cents. Mr.. Tucker argued that this
difference between the token rate and
the Scent cash fare penalties to the
extent of l Ia cents the man who
does not always have 40 cents to in
vest In car fare.
Mr.. Hams testimony showed that
at the present time his company Is
only earning AZ per cent on the val
uation of the property fixed by the

cent.
Cites Joint Rate.
Combining the earnings of the tive
companies, Mr.. Ham said. makes the

He asserted that the Washington

turn for the past year and that the
Capital Traction had earned S109.-
769.SS more than per cent for the
twelve months ending September 1
The two companies fell S390.054.94

POLICE, F|REMEN
:. PAY RAISE ASKED

Having been advised by the budget
bureau that increased salaries for
policemen and firemen cannot be con-
sidered in connection with next years
estimates. Commissioner Oyster to-
day set the machinery of the District
government in motion to draft a sep
arate salary bill for the uniformed
forces.
The Commissioner this morning
recommended that a committee be
appointed to prepare such a bill and
send 1t to Congress in December. The
committee will be composed of Mai.
Daniel J. Donovan, auditor; Maj
Daniel Sullivan. superintendent of
police, and Fire Chief George S. Wat
son. -
1t Is understood the budget officials
did not oppose the higher pay. but
merely took the position that salary
increases, other than those provided
for by the reclassification. could not
be asked In the estimates.
VIII Lose s24O Bonus.
Policemen and iremen were not
included in the benefits of reclassi-
fication, and, since the bonus is to
be abolished when reclassif1catton
salaries are appropriated. !. these men
will suffer a reduction IN pay Of $240 a
year next July unless their basic
compensatory is increased.
At present privates in both depart
ments receive basic salaries of 81. 46O,
$3.50 and S1.660, there being three
classes of prfvates. Adding the bonus.
the envelope pay of these men Is
s1.700, s1S0D and $1,000.
In submitting their estimates to the
budget bureau the Commissioners
recommended $500, $1,000 and $1,000
for the privates of both the police
and fire forces.
It was learned today. however, that
In drafting the separate salary bill
the committee will consider asking
for $1,000. $4,000 and s2,100.
The police department is. not able
to keep all positions filled, even with
present salaries anu the bonus, and
the heads of that department are
confident there would be many more
vacancies If the bonus. amounting to
$50 a month. Is taken away without
increase in basic pay.
