Neglect of European Forests a
Lesson For Us
By T. a WOOLSEY, Repreenltive of the United Stale Forestry
Bureau at International Forestry Congre
IN the Trench Alpa there i a leon in conservation for America. Tho
government had to pcnd million in repairing tho damage from
FIXWDS AND LANDSLIDES CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE CU1
TINO OF TIMBER. We shall avoid that in tho west becauno we hare
etalili(.hed national forct in time, and tho aouthern Appalachian com
minion i now at work selecting land for the purpose of forestration to
avoid this very thing. . ,
An cxamplo of exactly of the opposite kind is found, however, in the
Landcs, a district in tho louth of France, where for a hundred years mil
lion of acre, of WORTHLESS SAND COVERED LAND ''AS
BKKN STOCKED WITH SEA PINE AND CONVERTED INTO
VALUABLE FORESTS. ,. ,
Our Appalachian commission is taking up at a much earlier stage the
wnic problem that cost Franco so dcur in tho Alps. Fortunately nothing
like tho name amount of damage has yet been done.
at st t
PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES ARE ALREADY RUINED
THROUGH THE WASTING OF FOREST RESOURCES INSTEAD OF
CONSERVING THEM, ESPECIALLY IN THE SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS.
WHERE TIMBER DENUDATION HAS RESULTED IN FLOODS CAUS-
ING ER08ION AND DAMAGE TO
I-VINQ BELOW THE FOREST REGION.
Many of our winter floods and summer droughts are also duo to for-
i destruction. The forests absorb the water like sponges nnu give it
t gradually without the erosion and the consequent spreading of sedi
ment so ruinous to agricultural land.

COVERNOR'S PET LAW DISREGARDED
Trial of Alvln Wyland Provide Com
edy Relief to Seriouaneu of
Court Seaslons De
fendant la Freed
The use of profane languags at Wll-
holt Spring la not a mledcmoanor.
Such waa the decision of Justice
Slevers Wednesday in the case of the
State of Oregon against Alvln Wyland
accused of "using profane and bois
terous language at a public watering
resort," as prohibited In a measure
naaaed at the laat session of the legis
lature. The trial was replete with
many features that were quite as out-nf-the-opdlnarv
as the decision that
ended It, and spectator enjoyed the
aenslon of the court as much a tney
would have enjoyed a vaudeville per
formance.
It appeared from the evidence that
the complaining wltnea. a school
teacher, and a lCyear-old girl were at
Wll holt at the aame time, and that
the glrl'a relatives, one of whom was
the defendant, desired her to accom
pany them home. The girl refused,
and Wyland waa said to-have grasped
her by the nape of the neck and forci
bly taken her to the carriage which
waa to carry her home, saying at the
snma time: "Jly Ood, you will go."
For that the school teacher concerned
in the case awore to the complaint.
Oeorge Hrownell appeared for the
d.ifense, and Deputy Plsirict Attorney
l.lvy Btlpp conducted the prosecution
for the state. The wltneaaea called
wers aomewhat In doubt aa to wheth
er the defendant had used the name
of the Piety in vain, or whether he
had iuat said "by gosh." They admit
ted, however, that profane language
was not unusual at the reeort. Hear
ing this In mind, the court ruled that
the use of such language at Wllbolt
Springs waa not a violation of the
law. and dismissed the charge
In argulna; for the prosecution. Mr.
Stipp told th 3 court that the violation
charged came under the law that
Governor West, and Repreaentatlve
Si'hu.'M of this city had taken such
pride In passing and getting upon the
statute books, and said that aside
from the duty of the court In the mat
ter, he felt aure that both the gover
nor and Mr. Schuebel would like to
see a conviction under their partlclnr
atatute.
Mr. Hrownell .pleading for the de
fenae, admitted that auch might be
true, and added that he knew Mr.
Schuebel was a nice man. "I don't
believe he would use profane lan
guage," aald Mr. Hrownell. "I don't
think I have ever heard him swear. I
think he Is very temperate In his
language, but I can't say that I would
alwaya believe all he aald. I think
all the Schuebela are nice men, and
r dont believe any of them are ever
profane.
The case not being tried before a
Jury, the court seemed to take Mr.
nrowneU's view of It, and gavo the
defendant his freedom.

FRUIT TRADE BUSY .
Yellow peaches are arriving from
Columbia river orchards, and are
competing with local growth fruit,
both of which varieties are selling at
a dollar a box, wholesale. The local
fruit has a Bhade tbe best ot It in
flavor. Indicutions are that valley
peaches will soon fill the market, and
that the prlco will drop considerably.
Imported apricots from out-state
points are being offered at $1.25 a
crate, and sometimes lea; but the
fruit has not keeping quality. Later
In the week It Is expected that there
will be offerings of apricots from the
neighborhood about Canby, and this
fruit is said to be ripening well and
to give all Indications of b?iiiR well
up to stand pard. Tho Canby fruit is
apt to be higher In price than the
outside stuff.
The berry market Is showing but
little change. Blackberries, raspber
ries and some lata logana are general
ly being offered at between a dollar
and $1.25 per crata. depending on
grade, and are moving steadily
though not with speed.
Early Malaga grapes from the south
are also being offered at $2.50 per
crate, but are not fully ripened yet.
The vegetable market Is showing
practically no change, save that of
ferings are slightly cheaper. Green
peas are hardening, and late offer
ings are not up to standard.

ing professorships at Utrecht and
Koenlgsberg he became. In 1901, a
lecturer on surgery a; the University
of Vienna. He is the head of what
is known as tbe Billroth Clinic, which
was founded by Dr. Billroth, the
"father of pathology." During Dr.
Billroth' lifetime he was his first as

schools and lecturing before members
of the medical profession.

It was In Egypt in all probability

Idea of writing wss nnknown to other
nations. Ad attempt Is now being
made to show tbat tbe Idea of tbe set

peaceful social state to which we give
tbe name of civilization came from
Cbaldea or Babylonia, when tbat sort
of thing existed long before it waa
brought to Egypt Bat sot as yet Is

advocates are making some pretty
strong point In Its favor. So far, bow

E
Persistence, of poul'ryin.ii In sell
ing eggs direct to coi.s.imcrs Is keep
ing the retail trad pretty wH de
moralized, und whIW this particular
product Is quoted at 30 cents selling
and 28 cents buying, there are man
local stores where n- egfjs are to be
had. Portland Is also reporting dlffl-
cu'ty with Its egg market, and practi
cally nothing but casj eggs are being
orrered.
Local peaches, fogether with
fruit from o'lier parts of Oregon, still
continues to glut tha market, owing
to their poor condition. Buyers who
wire at first t?mptd by the state
fruit, and who found It rotting on
their bands, are now refusing to
touch the kjpiily, and aa a result the
market Is running all the way from
$1.20 down to two-bits a box.
In sharp contract to Orcfcon peachea
are the Yakima apricots being offer
ed, which are aelling readily at a dol
lar a crate, and which keep welt and
have a fine flavor. "Peach plums"
from California and Washington are
also showing wall in the trade.
Hiitti r beans have added their tasti
ne to t ie green vegetable offering,
and ara selling at two pound for 15
cents. They are perhaps the besc ol
Cie present greenstutfs, not having
been effected by sunburn, as have
green peas and string beans.
L
MARKET IS LOWE
Eggs continue scarce and at So
cents. Potiltrymen who hav supplies
are selling largely to consumers di
rect, and so making an extra two
cents a dozen. Dealers are complain
ing of this, but there seems no way
to remedy matters.
Loganbarrles at a dollar a crate are
plentiful again, and there Is consider
able trade in them for borne canning.
Raspberries of latje crop are also on
the market at the same price.
Apricots are leadlpg peaches In
sales, and are finding ready buyers at
from $1 per crate up to' $1.25. Most
of the best stock comes from outside
the ptate. Peaches con:li,ue poor, so
poor In fact that a shipment received
at Portland Friday from The Dalles
was condemned.
Cantaloupes continue in good quan
tity and quality, but there Is but lit
tle stirring witb watermelons. Some
grapes are In the market, but are not
selling well. Some grapes are being
offered as low as 40 cents a crate,
wholesale, but buyers are chary, as
the fruit will not keep.
Green vegetables are holding plen
tiful and are reasonable in prices.
Cooler weather is improving the qual
ity. MET FOR FRUIT
1$ GETTING DULL
Winding up ot the early berry sea
son is forecasted for the coming
week, tbe great glut of fruit now be
ing offered making it unprofitable for
most dealers to attempt to handle the
stock. It is expected that the bal
ance of the crop will go to the can
neries. Some late fruit will be of
fered In local markets from nearby
ranchers, but there will be but little
general sales of logans and raspber
ries. Crate prices are now from 75
cents up.
Butter Is now quoted locally at 40
centa a pound, retail, or 75 cents a
roll. This advance on the smaller
quantities was forecasted earlier In
tbe week, and follows action by the
creameries, who declare that they
need cream to supply the Ice-cream
demand.
Cucumbers are coming in heavily,
and prices have been cut Just about
half. Sales are being made at 60
and 75 centa a box, which la pretty
near summer prices.
Green vegetables are continuing in
plentiful variety, and since tbe end
of the recent hot weather are show
ing better form.
Small fruits are hard to get at any
price, offerings being for the most
part bletted or spoiled from faculty
packing.
MARKET EASV; EGGS
ALONE STAY HIGH
Egga continue to hold their price in
the retail markets, And are still quot
ed at 30 centa a 4ozen, with buying
at 27 and 28 cents. Tbe scarcity of
the past week has subsided somewhat,
and poultrymen, as a result, are hav
ing less of a field for direct selling to
consumers. Forecast of a further ad
vance in price is made in some quar
ters. It being said that receipts will
grow less and less as summer ad
vances. Berries of all kinds are ranging
from a dollar to $1.25 per crate, but
are not moving rapidly, with the ex
ception of blackberries, which are in
good shape. Late raspberries show a
tendency to be soft
Hood River cherries are being of
fered the trade, but are In poor shape.
Perhaps the best comment on the
Hood River stuff Is that It is being
offered at 75 cents a box, while Wash
ington and Eastern Oregon cherries
are being readily bought at $1.25 a
box. Willamette valley cherries are
also in the local market, but are not
attracting buyers.
Cantaloupe has dropped 25 centa a
crate from last week, and price now
range from $2.25 to $2.50. The fruit
is In better shape than formerly.
New crop sweet potatoes are being
offered at 7 cents a pound. New
spuds have dropped off about a third
In price since last week.

In regard to service the franchise
provides that the company must make
all extensions requiring but one addi
tional pole free of charge and service
must be given to any consumer within
60 days from the date of application
provided the consumer's premises are
already wired for the service desired.
Where more than one pole is needed
for an extension of service to a con
sumer, the company must stand half
the cost, and the consumer mtrst guar
antee the company baif of the rev
enue for one year. It is specifically
set forth in the franchise that the
rates for service In 0:adstone must
never exceed the rates charged for
similar service in Portland.
Another clause of the franchise pro
vides tbat the company or ita agenta
and employees must not cut any tree

ground the tree elands. Violation of
this provision calls for a $50 tine for
each offense.

for the first five years, wkh free cur
rent for 25 street lamps the second
