STEPS 1 0 PRESERVL PORtST
In support of President Roosevelt's
proposed conference In May at the
White House to which he has invited
the governors of the various states to
discuss the question of forest preser
vation, the National Association of
Manufacturers makes public the fol
lowing resolutions, says American In
dustries: Whereas, An adequate supply of
wood and timber is necessary to the
permanence and prosperity of many of
our most Important industries, and
Whereas. 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shall be repealed and that all public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. That the census department and
the forestry service of the agricultural
department should be authorized to
take a census of the standing timber
In the United States In 1910 when the
next national census Is taken.

FOUR TAKE
EXAMS
As stated in The Observer yester
day, only four applicants' made them
selves known when Deputy Secretary
Clyde Finch, nf the civil service oom-
mlsslon, opened the examination here
today, for carrlerships in the free
mall service, which Is to open about
iMay 15.
With examination questions already
prepared, the secretary had but to
look after the applicants' behavior
during the test.
The law allows four and a half
hours In which to answer the ques
tions. If three pass successfully, that
Is, have a grading mark of more than
70, tMe examinations will end, but If
only one or two men pass. It becomes
necepxary to conduct another examin
ation here. There will be positions
for two carriers nnd a substitute. As
only four took the examination, it Is
not like that three of them wtll pass.
In view of the fact that the service
is soon to be Installed here, the de
partment will hurry the grading of
the papers 'and In something like one
month, the results of the examinations
will be made known. 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.
Deputy Finch will return to Pen
dleton this evening, where he Is em
ployed in the postofftce of that city.
The examinations were held In the
pustiiffice, rather than at the Com
merclnl club.
