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

nals recently have had muoh to say
relative to a famous millionaire s i
offor of a mjilion dollars , for a new
stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was
too busy to worry about the condition
of his stomach. He allowed his dys
pepsia to run from bad to worse until
in the end it became incurable.
His misfortune serves as a warning
to others.
Everyone who suffers with dyspep
sia for a few years will give every
thing he owns for a new stomach.
Dyspepsia is caused by an abnormal
state of the gastric juices. There is
one element missing. The 'absence of
tins destroys the function or the gas
trio fluids, ihey lose their power to
digest food.

ing olement to restore to the gastric
juices their digestive power, aud to

For about 15 years I had been afflict
ed with eczema aud had tried many
remedies to very little purpose, and
no cure. Somewhat in desi eratiou, I
tried' D. D. D. I was soon convinced
before the bottle was half emutv that
I had at last found medicim that was
not a deception. I persevered. Now
have a little left of a third bottle
and am entirely cured of the eczema,
and for seven moutliB have had no
symptoms of its return. The annoy
ance was so great aud long-continued,
and the care so complete that I feel
it my duty to make known the above
facts to the publio that others simi
larly afflicted may make trial of this
remedy. J. H. LEIPER,
