Fuller. Proof of the Need for Conservation Forest fires destroy yearly an ai ago'of 60 lives and $50,000,000. The condition of the world's supply of timber makes the United stares cle p?ndent upon what it produces. Industrial and agricultural develop' ment depend. on better control of water catohnmnt areas and regulation of freshet noons. In the ose of the nntaral resources the states are interdependent and bound together by ties of mutual ben efits, repsonsibilities and duties. Lead i uk statesmen recognize the necessity of systematic and compre hensive improvement of waterways as a means of maintaining national pros perity. The sreatest of our national assets is the health and vigor of the Ameri can people. JStlioiency depends on vi tality. In the house of representatives Jack Binus, wireless telegraph oporator on tlio illrated .Republic, was honorod. Ropresentative Lion to 11 of Illinois, ad dressinn the house said : "Mr. Speak er, I rise to a question of personal privilege. During the last two days we have been remindod once more of the perils that beset those 'that go down to tho soa in ships, and do busi nesg in greater waters. ' The acci dont that befell the steamers Ropublio and Florida lust Saturday found he roes ready for the boroio work do manded of oflicers, men and passes sers. I beliave that overy one who read the acoouuts of the collision and the jeopardy in which occupants of the two ships were placed, and the way in whioh news reached the ros oners, felt that there was one eilont actor in the trage.dy whoso name should be immortulizod. 1 refer to tho Marconi operator of the Republic, who had the cool head and steady hand to send lorth on the willing wings of the air the message of dis aster that saved hundreds of lives and the message of deliverance that re lieved thousands of anxious hearts, His name is John K. Bums. He is known to several members of this house. Jack Binns has given the world a splendid illustration of the Heroism that dwells on seas in many who are doing qniot, unnoticed work iu life." A particularly Interesting story is told of the wanner iu which the news that Secretary Root had refused Rus sia's demand for the extradition of Christian Rudowit. was broken to tho fugitive from Russian "justice. " The Associated Press says: "The good news from Washington was slow iu roaching Christian Rudowitz. There was no one at the jail where the prisoner had been confined who oould spoak'Russian, and attempts to reach his lawyers with the Associated Press bulletin found them absent. Meanwhile tho bailiffs and guards al ready in posscssion'of tho news bulle tin worn fairly aohing to impart the good tidings to the man most aft'ioted. Rudowitz gazed stolidly at them. Presently one of them had an inspira tion. He resorted to pantomime. He imitated the cliok of a telergaph in strument by tapping on tho bars of the cell j then ho pointed out doors, sized the Russian's bunds, grinned broadly, jumped up and down and patten the prisoner on the back. Slowly the latter broke into a smile and pointing interrogatively to the east Washington grunting, 'Huh?' Whereat the guards nodded, their Jieads vigorously and the indications were that Rudowitz at least compre hended that something fortunate had happened to him. " Governor Gillette has sent to the California legislature a message urg ing that body not to psss any anti Japanese bills, He said that what ever comes iu tho way of restricting Japansose immigration must bo through ereatios entered into by tho federal government or throngh laws euacted by congress. He reoomuiouds that tho legislature make an appropri ation for the taking of a consus of tho Japanoso living iu California, tho numbor classed as laborers, those classed as agriculturists the number of acres of laud owned bv thorn and the number of acres leased and report this with other useful information to tho president and to the congress. Vioo Prosideut Eiect Sherman says he will not attempt to keep up the sooial pace set by the l'airbanks Well, it maybe better for his political career since it was the social obliga tion of serving cocktails to his guests that helped to wrook the presidential boom of tho vico president. The public is fond of fancying that Mr. Tuft has the smile that won't come off, but if anything oan succeed in dittoing it, four years in tho White House aro likely to do it. We hasten to predict that "in March, 1013, ho will find it harder to get the smile on than to get it olf. Since 1000 divorce iu this country has iuoreasod thrice as fast as tho population. But this should give no one cause for alarm. It means simply tho application or our much taught lesson of life, if at first you don't suc ceed, try, try again. The president has beeu offered ten thousand dollars a week to appear once a day iu a circus as the hero of San Juan Hill. We may have hero the solution of our porplexiug prob lem, what shall we do with our ex-presidents? The kinrtrgarten is laid to bo on the decline. What kind of a nuliou cuu we hope to become if the youth of the country is allowed to grow up with out knowing how to make raffia bas kets and tissue paper candles? The tfeed of afforestation mid refor estation is so pressing in well nigh every country that governments are taking immediate and thorough ac tion to meet it. In fact some govern ments, especially those of France, Germany and Japan, began years ago and they are rohping their reward in the new and splendid forests rap idly growing to maturity. This coun try is now fairly awake to the Heed, and over in Great Britain they are about to eminence the planting of some 9,000,000 uores of poor pasture land. . The plan is to plant 150,000 acres annually and to do it in the winter months whereby some 18,000 men will be given temporary employ ment at a most needful time. To do this work some $12,000,000 will be spent aunuully. At the end of eighty years it is estimatod that the property thus afforested will be worth to the stato something like $2,M)0,000,000. The shipbuildiug industry in Eng land has heeii crroatlv depressed on ac oonut of the strikes which have lasted for several months. An agreement has now been ratified between cm ployer and men by which the strike will end and the relation between the two parties put upon a satisfactory basis. Under the arrangement no small union can create a strike and all questions arising will be thorough ly and amicably diimssed by the rep resentatives of employors mid unions, and everv tossible plan adopted to prevent a stirke or lock out. The agreement will probably have far reaohiug consoaueuces on labor and capital elsewhere. If Enrico Caruso, the celubratod Italian opera star, were no bettor as a singer than be seems to be as a man he would not be able to earn more than a day laborer. Having in mind his uionkev house emsode aim soui- mate" business it would seem that he miiiht with advantage Bpend some tirno iu trying to get his chara"ter ud to the level of his voice. One trouble with such men is that they in sist they are not to be judged by the same moral standard by which others are measured, and there are people foolish enough to agree with them. The four South African British col onies have at last formed a federation much like that of Australia. The only unsettled point is that of the capital. Cape Colony wants Cape lowu, Natal and Transvaal want rre toria. and Orangia is in hope that Bloumfoutoiu will be chosen. That these colonies, which were at deadly war with each other loss than a de- cado ago, are now working harmon iously together is a great triumph lor freedom and representative govern ment. Encouraging blows have recently been struok at tho iniquitous white slave trade in Chicago and otiier cit ies. It is impossible to conceive of auy infamy greater than that of cor rupting the virtue ot young girls and dragging them down to lasting ruin. Yet it is a trade out of which in famous men and women have grown rich. The heavy fines and prison sen tences imposed on some of the worst trulliokers in human souls is likely to have a deterrent influenoe upon others like minded. Is the good feeling between Eng land and Japan cooling off? Thoro are siitus that it is. Iu the Naval Conference held iu London the Brit ish authorities were sanguinn that Japan would support their proposi' ions, but tliey took the opposite posl tiou. Then, too, tho Japanese minis tor at Pokin decilned to go with the American and British ministers to en nuiro of the Chinese government its attitudo on internal reforms ana tneir bearing upon international relations, There is very general satisfaction that the demand of the Russian gov eminent for the extradition of Rudo vitz has boon donied. The decision of tho Uuitoil States government iu this ase is a vindication of the sacred right of asylum, and while occasion ally that right may bo abusod yet bet ter'that than give up so righteous a principle. We deploro.tlie exaesses of the revolutionists iu Russia but the responsibility lor them must be ohurgod ugaiust the government. It is an easy but inexcusiblo tiling to run down the place in which one ives. No talent is required to do it, All that is necessary is to porBis- ently talk about Us shortcomings, which usually are few, and iguoro its advantages, which usually aro many, These "nickers," which are found in lmost overy plaoo. would do won to ullivute local patriotism, a quality that is too otten negltctod. Tho soenes attending reoeut exoou- ions by tho guillotine, iu Franco, ave been a painful reminder of the Reign of Terror in that couu'ry. The singing of ribald songs, gleeful dances and shouting ami other acts indicate that the old pass in us are still distinct. The recent experiences will probably determine tho French governmout to ordur that in future all executions be privately performed. The tide of immigration seoms to have turned as the result of revival in trade in this country. Ships ooin iug from Germany bring more steer; age imssouuors than they did a short tune ago. Italian immigration is also likely to receivo somo impetus aa the outcome of the earthquake iu that country. Tho gloom of disasters is uusually relieved by nets of heroism. This was notably the case iu the collision between tho Florida and Republic. The heroio spirit was general, distin guishing crews and passengers alike, and, as usual, the American womeu showed their natural self-possessiou aud courage. The poet says that in the springtime the thoughts 6f young men and maid ens "lightly turn to love. " But the proftisiou of valentines with their sentimental verse, their cupula, ar rows, hearts, doves, loveknots and other emblems, shows that the ardor of youth does not wait for spring. England is tho groat cpntor of co operative land friendly societies and the amount invested iu them, mainly by working people, is exceedingly large. At the present time the money invested iu them and kiudred societies and iu the poitolllee savings banks ex ooods $3, 160, 000,000. Tho president of Cuba has already anumiucedliis cabinet but Mr. Taft is coutonted (o let the newspapeprs have their play at cabinet making for while yet. There is a rapidly growing senti ment all over the country in favor of beautifying school grounds. Where it has been done with any regard to taste and system the results have been most satisfactory. There is every thing to be said in its favor. There is no merit, quite the reverse, in hav ing dilapidated buildings, and grounds covered with tall grass and weeds. The effort of such a condition upou the children or district is any thing but good. That being so it naturally follows that when this con dition is changed so that the grounds and buildings are pleasing to the eye by reason of their neat and attractive appearance a justifiable pride is arous-d and with it many other good things. Some leadership and atuhi tiou, a needed amount of labor and a small outlay of money are sufficient with good taste to turn almost, any eyesore into that which is phasing and heneSoial. Congress seems to have the art of doing nothing pretty fully developed. So far this session it has dons little but mark time, - but it is safe to say the members will have no scruples against drawing their salaries. The cock and bull rights that figure so conspicuously in the celebration of Cuban independence do not inspire much hope for a stable government and prosperous future. We find in others that for which we seek. If we look for the bad we find it, and if we look for the good we find that also. To seek the first leads to suspicion, distrust and cnioisra; to seek the other is far nobler and promotes oharity, friendship and good ness. If economy were more often prao ticod in the high tide of prosperity there would be lass poverty in the low tide of business depression. Oregon Briefs. Friday, February 19th, exactly at two p. m. , has been chosen as the dato when the business men of Port land will talk to the pupils of the public schools upon the importance of their co-operating with the business interest" in helping to increase-the travel which will come as a result of the one-way colonist rates during the months of March and April. The boys and girls in attendance upon the schools will "be asked to write to their relatives, acquaintances and friends living in the older states, regarding these rates, and also to give their inv pressions of Oregon as they know it Already a number of other cities and towns throughout Oregon have deoid ed to adopt this date, and it is hoped that not lees than fifty thousand school boys aud girls throughout the state may be induced to write letters, If they do, no one can estimate the value of this advertising vehicle the great majority of these letters will bo read and re-read again and again. Within the past week an nouncement has been made that in ad dition to the $25 fare from Missouri river points, $80.60 from St. Louis and $113 from Chicago, a proportionate rate is good from every point in the United States. For instance, JSew York $50, Boston $49.45, Olevoland $119.75, Birmingham $40.25, and Jack sonville $50.75 are given as illustra tions. The Portland Commercial Club has now in the hands of the printers, leaflets giving faots about the oity and state in addition to these rats, and these will be distributed at each and all of the schools. Samples of these leaflets are available to any reader of this paper. Oregon should get thirty thousand new settlers dur ing March aud April. As a special committee from Burns, HaruoT county, Messrs.

Tho delegation of Salem busiuess men who recently visited the Fratum oil Held seem to be satisfied that the particular sort of fluid so much con nected with the name of John D.

Not a single person has been sent to the Penitentiary from Linn coun ty for the past two years. This county has always been remarkably free from crime, but this Is the longest period in the memory of court officers without at least one commitment to the 'state prison. Three counties In this state, Ben ton, Lincoln and Yamhill, have not a single prisoner In the state peni tentiary. This Is shown by the bi ennial report of the superintendent, C. W. James, who has classified the prisoners as to their crimes, length of sentence and county from which committed. Unkempt, dirty and with his ankle so badly sprained that he cannot stand without assistance, Robert Gerrish, who escaped from the Ore gon insane asylum last November, was found In a barn at Oakland Fri day night and taken back to the. asylum. He can give no account of his wanderings or the cause of hii Injury. Before the next regular river and harbor bill Is framed by congress, a report will have been submitted by the army engineers, passing upon the necessity for a 30-foot channel from Portland to the sea, and that report will be accompanied by the outline of a project and estimate of cost.
