BY VIM. E. MCKINNEY America's Card Authority

I think you will agree that the real fun in contract is in playing the hand. In football, the fellow who enjoys it most is the one who carries the ball. In base ball, it is the fellow who puts one over the fence. In all sports, however, defense has it's thrills. What do you think of the defense on today's hand?
 South won the opening diamond lead with the ace and immediately led clpb. East won with the ace.
 East can see five club tricks and the ace of spades on the board. How can he hope to defeat the contract?
 He might lead diamond, hop ing that his partner had led from king jack-ten, but South had bid diamonds, so it seemed more likely that West had led away from -ten-nine. Therefore, the only chance was for West to he'd the king of hearts. Now what card should East lead from the heart Suit?"

Future Welfare of This District Now
Faces q Critical Period.
AN EDITORIAL

This session of Congress is going to prove highly I'M
portant to the future of Lincoln County
Important because the future prosperity of several
thousand people this section depends what action the
Congress will take regarding the sustained yield program
in forest management
The lumber industry in the United States IS fast ap
preaching critical period Only little Of the virgin stands
of timber left The time has arrived for adoption
of scientific management of the forests if the nation is
to continue to produce its lumber and other forest
products If there refusal to adopt such program there
will inevitably great reduction in highly important
national industry with thousands of out of work and
with numerous ghost towns relief rolls and
more want and restitution.
But all of those dire consequences can be prevented
by putting into effect proper management of the nations
forest wealth And great industry and the livelihood and
welfare of thousands of people can be preserved for all time
to come.
The action this Congress takes in regard to this prob
lem is of Importance this particular district
because the time has arrived when definite plans for the
future of the lumber industry here must be made With
one or relatively small exceptions private holdings of
timber have about been cut out If provision is not made
and made soon for putting into operation the sustained
yield program easily the extinction of the
lumber industry here, as 1t is known today.
But why should such dire possibility be permitted

setups in the nation for the Inauguration of sustained

Thursday, February |, 1910

On the one hand there is continued life for great
industry; the other hand there destruction of the
means of livelihood for thousands.
On the one hand there are jobs, comfort and eco
nomc independence for approximately 5000 workers;
the other hand there are jobless men and women
who will inevitably be thrust onto already over-bur
dened relief rolls.
On the hand there are contented homes and
cities busy schools and churches and happy prosperity
the other hand there will be ghost towns broken and
deserted homes, unemployed, discouraged and wander
ing men, women and children.
AGAIN WE ASK, WHAT FINER OPPORTUNITY
FOR GENUINE CRAFTSMANSHIP COULD ONE
ASK THAN ENACTMENT OF THE NECESSARY
LEGISLATION TO PUT THIS TREMENDOUSLY
IMPORTANT PROGRAM INTO OPERATION?
Now, here is suggestion to the people of Lincoln

yield program Everything ready for the swinging into
operation of sustained yield management OF the forests
What then is needed at this time?
The thing of greatest Importance right
now is a LIBERALIZATION OF FOREST SERV-
ICE REGULATIONS that will permit without
question: the launching by the u. S. forest service
of sustained yield management III this district
That is the one action needed right now-by
the present Congress-to make this much desired
thing reality.
Since 1884 the government has been expendlng hun
dreds millions of dollars at Grand Coulee Dam This huge
expenditure is being made in building Tor the future Al
ready $16055000 has gone into that enterprise and It IS
not yet finished When it is completed 24b4OOO morse
power of electric energy will be developed and l2oOOoo
of desert will be reclaimed, providing homes Tor
80 900 farm families.
That is magnificent work but much of it is for the
distant future The first of the reclaimed land will not be
ready for settlement until four years have passed
Complete settlement of the land will require 81 years. SO
it is said While expanding hundreds OF millions Tor the
future good why not at the time take much easier
preserve and perpeuae an industry already IN
operation
Approximately 5000 people are dependent on the for
ests and lumber industry in this district If the lumber IN
dustry can be made here these 5000 people
will be left condition Of prosperity and able to support
themselves If this industry permitted to langush and
die it means restitution and want for most of those 5OOO
people.
