1 HIS EIGHT MONUMENTS
TO'AGNOSTICISM MUST GO
KENOSHA, Wis., Sept. 22. Lewis
Knapp, who erected eight inscribed
monuments in the Kenosha city cem
etery to hand down his derision of
the Christian church, will fail of his
pupose, as the monuments, which have
stood for more than 30 years, will
be' destroyed in such a manner that
not one of the 20,000 words of in
scription will remain.
For years Knapp worked on the
composition of the agnostic inscrip
tions, which made one of the most
remarkable arraignments of the Chris
tian religion known to history. Men

TO WAGE WAR
AGAINST PESTS
Oregon Conservation Association Will
Try to Protect
Timber.
i . 1
POliTLAXD, Sept. 22. At a meet
ing of the 'Oregon Conservation As
sociation the feature of the veiling
was an address by Y. L. Finley, who
represented the Audubon society, and
who is a well known ornothologist.
Mr. Finley niado an earnest plea for
bird protection and said the people
of the stale who are interested in
forestry mutters should not forget
the important part played by our
feathered friends. As insect destroy
ers they cannot be equaled. He nurged
the necessity for framing laws that
would look to a better protection for
the birds of the state.
In speaking of the timber of the
state, Mr. Finley said that the state
of Oregon contained one-sixth of the
standing timber of tho United States.
It is estimated thai between three
and four billion feet of timber is con
tained within our boundaries, which
have a valuation of $(iim,O0i.O0O. Tho
total appropriation of the legislature
of Oregon for the payment of fire
wardens is only $25(1. not sufficient
to pay postage on the reports they
are compelled to send in.
Should Save Timber. .
Mr. Finley continued: "When you
consider that the value of the timber
of this state is us stated before, it is
up to us to try and save it. The
amount givei, represents only the val
ue of the -standing timber. It is a
conceded fact, that the labor used in
the manufacture of. that timber into
lumber is equivalent to 80 per cent
of the market value of the manufac
tured product, it therefore logically
follows that the state of Oregon has
a deep and vital interest in the pres
ervation of her forests from the rav
ages of fire., The nhrrow and un-stntesman-Iike
policy which has pre
vailed in the past is a very poor busi
ness policy of the stnte and does not
reflect that degree, of intelligence
which should be exemplified in the
husbanding of this asset which nature
has given us. i
"Bounties are paid for the killing
of coyotes where the damage inflict
ed by these animals is slight and the
further fact that the damage is an
annual crop, while the damage fire
does to timber is irreparable, for des
pite the number of years it took the
timber crop to mature, it can only
be harvested once." ,
' Secretary Wastell also spoke brief
ly on the subject, . saying: "Thye
are now 1000 fire wardens in this
state, and they have been secured
through the efforts of the Conserva
tion association. The deputy fire
rungers in Oregon, with very few ex
ceptions, donate' their 'services free
of charge. The next legislature
should take some steps to provide
ut least enough money to pay the
postage on the reports sent in of the
good work done by these rangers in
caring for the timber of the entire
state."
A committee consisting of J. C.
Stevens, W. L. Finley and II.' D.
Langille was appointed to investigate
the ravages of insects in the timber
of the state.
TWELVE-CENT STAMP
'WILL HAVE NEW FACE
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. The 12
cent stamp just ordered prepared for
the postoffice department was issued
in 1870. The announcement that it
will bear the head of Washington was
based on the assumption that the last
12-cent stamp bore that likeness. The
fact is that it presents a profile of
Henry Clay. The new stamp will be
designed on lines similar to the old.
Above nnd below the bust of Clay
will appear the words, "United States
Postage," and "12 cents" in white
capitals; the two words "twelve
cents" to be separated by the number
"12" in Arabic. The words of de
nomination are all black letters.
