The country as a whole consumes every year between three and four times more wood than ail the forests of the United States grow in the meantime, and It is estimated that the entire commercial cupply of wood and timber in this generation will not last over 25 years unless sys tematically vuiutei'veU unu rcp!er.!?h1, and . Whereas, Deforestation menaces the river valleys with Increasing danger from destructing floods, and steadily lessens and renders more Irregular the flow of streams used for irrigation and water power, and Whereas, The repeal of the Tlmeber and Stone act has been repeatedly urged upon congress by the president In his messages to congress and by the secretary of the interior, as well as in the report of the public lands commission: Therefore be it resolved: 1. That the timber and stone act shall be repealed and that all public timber lands shall be included in per manent forest reserves, the title to the land to be forever retained by the na tional government, stumpage only of matured timber to be sold, and young timber to be preserved for future cut ting, so that the forests will be per petuated by right use; and that the national government shall, by the res ervation of purchase of existing for est lands, and the planting of new for ests create In every state national for est plantations from which, through all the years to come, a sufficient sup ply of wood and timber can be annu ally harvested to supply the needs of the people of each state from the for est plantations in that state, and tnai the necessary legislation should be Immediately enacted by congress to create the national forest reserves known as the White Mountain and the Appalachian reserves. 2.

The papers will be graded at the department offices and feturned to Postmaster Richey, who will notify the three successful candidates, if such there are.
