"The protection of forests against fires Is the first duty of forestry of states and nation alike. The way to stop fires is to get men to them as soon as they begin. The maintenance and extension of forest fire control by the nation, the states and their subdivisions, and by associations of private citixens who ewn tlmberland Is absolutely necessary. "The protection of existing forests by wise use is the first step in forest ry. Reforestation is the second. "Land bearing forests . should be taxed annually on the land value alone and the timber crop should be taxed when it is cut so private forestry may be encouraged. Private Ownership Is Public Trust. "The private ownership of forest land is a public trust, and the people have both the right and the duty to regulate the use of such lands in the general Interest. "As to lands, every acre of land should be put to whatever use would make It most useful to all the peo ple. "The fundamental object oft our land policy should be the making and maintenance of permanent prosper ous homes. Land monopoly and ex cessive holdings must not be tolerated. "Settlement must be encouraged by every legitimate means on all the land that will support homes. Thus the tillable land In public ownership within and without the national for ests should be disposed of in fee sim ple to actual homemakers but not to speculators. "The first and most needed thing to do for our cultivated lands Is to preserve their fertility by preventing erosion. "The non-frrlgable, arid public grazing lands should be administered by the government in the Interest of the small stockman and the home maker until they can pass, directly into the hands of actual settlers. Wonld Repeal Timber and Stone Act. "Rights to the surface of the pub lic land should be separated from rights to the forests upon it and the minerals beneath It and each should be held subject to separate disposal. The timber and stone act should be repealed; 'As to our minerals, those still re maining in government ownership should not be sold but should be leased upon terms favorable to their development up to the full require' ments of our people. Until leglsla tion to this effect can be enacted temporary withdrawals of land con taining coal, oil, gas and phosphate rock are required in order to prevent speculation and monopoly. "It Is the clear duty of the federal government as well as that of the states to provide through lnvestlga tton, legislation and regulation against loss of life and waste of mineral re sources in mining. The recent ere' ation of a national bureau of mines makes a real advance in the right dl rectlon. With regard to national efficiency the maintenance of national and state conservation commissions 1 s neces sary to ascertain and make public the facts as to our natural resources. Such commissions supply the funda mental basis for co-operation between the nation and the states for the development and protection of the foundation of our prosperity. National Health Service, A national health service is need ed to act in co-operation with similar agencies within the states for the purpose of lengthening life, decreas lng suffering and promoting the vigor and efficiency of our people. 'In the effort to conserve our nat ural resources, we must recognize that combinations against tne pun 11c welfare which extend beyond the state lines can be met effectively only by agencies equally capable of operat In across such boundaries, it clear that the control of Interstate commercial power is possible only by the use of interstate federal power, We are opposed to the extension state Jurisdiction at the expense real control by the people over mo noDolv. as in the case of waterpower, While I do not believe mat tne state alone can carry out the conser vntlnn nroeram In face of Interstate attacks UDon It. I do not fall to rec oenize the great and useful pan nrhiMi the states must play In this ereat movement for the public wel fnrA of all our neople. Also, I appre ciate now as I have always done that It. much of the work ahead co-opera tlon between the states ana me na tion Is an essential condition of suc cess. But when I see the special In terests attempting to take refuse be hind the doctrine of state rights, I propose to speak out and say so. "The principles enunciated In this short statement have all been repeat edly presented to congress In the form of concrete bills or embodied in ac tion taken by the executive for the public welfare. Some of them have been enacted Into law. Others re main to be embodied in legislation. both state and national. mere is much hard fighting ahead, but the progress already made Is encourag ing.

The 900-feet tunnel now nearly completed for the bring ing of the flood waters of Little Wil low creek through the Boise moun tains for the Irrigation of E00 acres of the finest fruit lands In the west what Is known as the Big gulch, five miles northwest of Boise. The flood waters of Little Willow creek are taken through the moun tains over into Big gulch and from there to Little gulch. From the tun nel the water Is dropped Into a res ervoir holding 6600 acre feet of wa ter. The dam for this reservoir Is expected to be completed next spring. The dam will be 60 feet high and 400 feet long. The cost of the tunnel will be about 16,000 and the cost of the dam about 30.000. It Is estimated that the whole cost of the project. Including the tunnel, dam, canal system, etc., will be about 166,000 or $70,000, which would make the water cost about $20 per acre, which is very reas onable when the richness of the lands to be irrigated is taken Into consider ation. The company expects to develop this project into a large and magnificent orchard. The land to be Irrigated Is high enough to ward off the late spring frosts which will Insure a fruit crop every year. The soil Is Ideal fruit land, with good water and air drainage. AT THE MOVING PICTURE SHOWS The Orpheum. Fine program for Friday's change. 1. Wilful Peggy. Bigraph, 1000 ft. long.
