' A NATIONAL AWAKENING. i "In the last .10 years." says the Tear Book of the Department of Agricul ture, for 1907, "forestry has advanced In this country from an almost un known science to a useful growing pro Xessoin. In that time the number pf .technically ' trained foresters has in creased from less than a dozen to over 400. Ten years ago there was not a alngle forest school in the country; ow there are several professional t -'ooi which rank with those of Europe, and a score more with course? In elementary forestry whose useful nesa Is steadily growing. Forest lands under management have grown from one or two tracts to many, ajrgrejrat ing 7,503,000 acres, scattered through 9 states. The National foreBtg have Increased from 89,000,000 acres, prac v 41 11.. ' ncany unusea and unprotected, to 165,000,000 acres, used, guarded and Improved both In productiveness and accessibility. The number of states which have state forests has Increased from 1 to 10; and of those which" em vl a i ' . , vvy irainea loresters from none to 11. The membership of forest associa tions has Increased from 3600 to 15, AAA - - , ouu. len years ago. except for a few ,'(-f the foremost botanists, European foresters knew more about American :tr??m thn did the people of this - f HiMfi.'. In Europe ther were then , u-.i.s ireservatlves to prolong . the smv! , . of beech tics, and so adding from. i0 to 40 years to their life. Here, on fio other hand, scarcely a treated !.; 1 been laid, though there are ) t o treating plants,- 27 of which t'vnt is exclusively, and an ensi le'. 'i ho recently returned from Eur oil r ports that both in size and me 1 snial perfection the treating equlp , nt of this country .i ahead of any to In? found abroad. V ltd yet American forestry has on'y wfely pnsiied the experimental Mnv and got ready to do something. A. j, Immediate and vigorous, must i" i.ken If the Inevitable famine of '! supplies Is to be lessened. We Ur now using as much wood In a sln y?ar as grows In three, with only TO j ,ars supply of virgin growth In fight. Only the applP'itlon of forest knowledge with wlsdun, method and norgy In the next 10 years can pre vent the starving of national Industries for lack of wood." A stone or brick dopot for La Grande Is one of the assured things for the future. Superintendent Buckley stat ed this morning that the Increased railroad business, both In freight and the pasnenger traffic would necessi tate greater facilities here than at prenent, and when the time came for the change the peoplo'of La Grande could rest assured that the new build ing would be in keeping with the spir it of progression that the O. R. & N. had been keeping up with the past five years, during which time It had practically built a new road by In creasing their motive power, heavier teel rails and new roadbed. The day of clenn fairs Is at hand In this state. Dr. Brotigher visited the Tortland Livestock show and races, and was so well satisfied with the ex hibits and racing no liquor being sold on the grounds and no pool selling and no betting In evidence, that he sent in He application for a season ticket for next year. The report of the receipts .of the st lite fuir Is something like $38,. 000, and no liquors or gambling was permitted. Oregon Is behind very few states In morals and we are getting better each year. The Pendleton grand Jury has set a pace for the other counties to fol low, where bootlegging Is carried on. AH of the counties will wake up after a while, and the local option law will not be considered a Joke. A. Justice of the peace in the Willamette valley a few days ago fined a bootlegger $500 and sentenced him to Jail for 30 days. Union county is not so slow. We have two men now in the county Jail serv ing 125 days each. Bootlegging will soon be as popular as horsestealing In this state. . ; - Milton Is showing her fruit to ad vantage by sending nearly two car-; loads to the Pendleton fair. It mle-ht pay our fruitgrowers to visit the Pen dleton fair and get , a few point ers. The advertising Milton will et in free newspaper space alone from her efforts at displaying her-wares, are Incalculable, and is only one ot the ways of doubling the value of her lands. .. f It Is reported that petitions an." ho. ing circulated In Lincoln county, ask ing tor the recall of County Commu -r . . piuner r ogarty. The ' basis of th movement Is said to be over a wagon roaa contract. We believe if this is perfected, it will be the first attmnf to carry out the provision of tv recall law.-' ; Many of our people are Just betin. nlng to realize the advantages that Will naturally accrue to La Grand bv the completion of the railroad into Wallowa county. It means much to both counties. .... . s Six weeks of this kind of weather and our beet crop will be all im. l,uu it win bd out "of the ordi nary' If' we do not have the weather. The fall weather of old Grande Ronde valley la unexcelled in any land. . .. I,..-. The business men of La Grande could do a good stunt by attending the Wallowa county fair one day. There la a suggestion made along these lines that may receive recognition at the hands of the Commercial club. ; i ; ' The Chances are before the cam palgn Is over, that Speaker. Cannon will take off his hat to Governor Han ; - ; . Superintendent J. M. Buckley sees visions of Increased trade for his com pany upon the completion of the rail road Into -Wallowa county.
