It Is claimed that Fournler's actual racing time was six hours and 58 minutes. The road rules compelled him to slow down in many towns and villages. Foxhall Keene, the American, was the 18th to arrive. He registered an hour and 34 minutes after Fournler. He was the 143d man to start, and made good time, notwithstanding an accident at Bastogne, In Belgium. Fournler's time does not compare favor ably with his winning time of So kilo meters an hour In the Paris-Bordeaux race, but the roads to Alx are not so good as to Bordeaux. Barring accidents, M. Fournler Is now considered the favorite, although Mme. de Knlff, "Vergt, Farman and others are close after him. He has the same Mars automobile that he had.ln the Paris-Bordeaux race. Another Child Injured. SSEN, Prussia, June 23. An automo bile, competing in the Paris-Berlin race, ran over and seriously Injured a child near Ruhret, Rhenish Prussia, 16 miles north of Dusseldorf. Accidents Cause an Ontcry. PARIS, June 28. The automobile acci dents yesterday in the Paris-Berlin race nre causing an outcry, and Deputy Gauth ler brought the matter up in the Cham ber of Deputies today. He asked that measures be taken to stop running auto mobiles at excessive speed and, amid loud plaudits from the Rightists, said that It was. a singular and saddening idea to organize a race to Berlin, passing through Bazellles and Sedan. The Premier, M. Waldeck-Rosseau, replied that the race would not have been authorized if it had only been started for pleasure or sport. Regulations were about to be issued to control the speed of automobiles, and henceforth no race would be authorized at speed exceeding that used In normal traffic. The roads would no longer be placed at the disposal of automobile driv ers. The statement was greeted with cheers. Prepnrntlons for the Finish. BERLIN, June 28. The automobile race from Paris to Berlin Is responsible for the fact that for the first time since 1870. French and German flags are peaceably flying together In Berlin. The tri-color Is seen in nearly every stand, on the hotels, and it has even been raised over public buildings. The French and German flags are intertwined over the gate of the bar racks of the crack guard corps, where some of the competing auto-cars will be housed tomorrow. The entire city of Ber lin Is agog with excitement about the race. The contestants are due here to morrow. Bets are freely made on the win ner, and M. Fournler Is the favorite. The police of Berlin are tonight making ex tensive preparations to handle safely the Immense crowds who will witness the fin ish of the contest and to avoid collisions and accidents. There are .thousands of visitors In Berlin from outside points, and two extra trains have arrived from Paris bringing those interested in the event. A succession of minor accidents marked the middle stage of the race. A petro leum motor blew up while approaching Dusseldorf, and its occupants were slight ly Injured. Count de Parlgord, the fourth racer to arrive at Alx-la-Chappelle, was so seriously 111 from the strain that he has been compelled to abandon the contest. International Cricket Match. PHILADELPHIA.

No "Water, When Forests Are De stroyed. Popular Science Monthly. When in our Western forests one Is con stantly Impressed by the change In rela tive humidity wrought wherever the forest f has been removed. Springs have disap peared and canyon and ravines are now dry where there were formerly parennlal streams. Under the leaf, mold and other debris of the forest the soil Is always moist, while on denuded areas In the same locality It is parched and dry Everywhere the deep mulch forming the floor of the forest grasps the descending rains and melting snows and. guides them Into the deeper recesses of the earth.

So, also. In the semi arid regions, where there are no forests or where they have been destroyed, the wind has a free sweep, resulting in an enormous .increase in evaporation. In some instances the evaporation from a water surface exposed to the free sweep of the wind reaches a maximum of 13 Inches In a single month. In exposed situations, snows a foot In depth are fre quently lapped up In a single day without even moistening the soil beneath. We do not appreciate how great the necessity for the preservation of the forests is to the irrigable West. Reservoirs for the purpose of Impound ing water to be used in indication have been constructed by private enterprise In many parts of the West and the possi bility of Governmental construction of such reservoirs is by no means improbable. Effective reservoirs are not possible In our irrigable regions without due regard foi the forests that feed the streams which fill them. Forests everywhere are the great preventers of erosion, and nowhere Is this more evident than In our Western mountains. The utility of reservoirs, and, to a lesser extent, of distributing canals and laterals, becomes destroyed as they flll with silt. To prevent this filling, the forests must be preserved; they must be protected from fire, In so far as an ef ficient forest service can protect them, and also from grazing, wherever It seri ously Interferes with the effectiveness of the forest floor as a water absorbent. RIVERS AND HARBORS. The Oregon Situation, as Seen in the Interior. Baker City Democrat. The utterances of the Dally Astorlan In Its attempt to block the Columbia River to navigation have been Justly rebuked by the Hon. C. W. Fulton, the leading at torney of the City of Astoria. Not only 13 the Astorlan fouling Its own nest, as clearly pointed out by Mr. Fulton, but It Is misleading strangers Into the belief men it. una me Duiyuic ui mc jjev.c m the Inland Empire. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Democrat believes that it voices the sentiment of 95 per cent of the peo ple of Oregon, Washington and Idaho when It states the Columbia River must be maintained open for deep-sea naviga tion as far ?s Portland, and that the Co lumbia and Snake Rivers must be opened for navigation by river steamers as far inland as I awlston, Idaho, or the people will rise in their might and send such rep resentatives to Congress as will fight for and obtain the rights of the people of this great empire. The contention of the Astorlan and some of the people of that city for what they call the "common point" rate on wheat, now revived and thrown into the present agitation, Is absolutely without basis of reason, and has not the slightest connec tion with the point at issue the Improve ment of the Columbia River. All the lies compiled upon the subject by Astoria can not change the situation, nor will they make that city any friends In the Interior. No amount of misrepresentations can dis guise the fact that the Columbia Is a large and navigable river, with as good, or better, channel from Portland to the at the Cape, had made a life stud of sea than has the ports on Puget Sound. , the carrier Pigeons and before the war 160 miles from the ocean, through the broke out he had established PSon Straits of Fuca, and that larger vessels ' posts between most of the beleaguered are dispatched from Portland dally than cities. From Ladysmith Klmberlej, and from the Sound. It has been clearly Mafeklng. pigeons early in the sieges reg shown In The Oregonlan that Portland Is ularly brought messages from the .

Where the first improvements of the Columbia River are needed is at the mouth of the river, so that even ves sels of the size at present entering the river can safely cross the bar and come t Into harbor at all, or pass out with any- I thing like a full cargo without touching bottom. The matter of greatest lm- I portance to the Inland Empire Is the im provement of the river between The Dallca and Cclllo. As the Erie Canal set the pace for transportation rates In the State of New York, so will the Columbia and Snake Rivers In the future regulate rates In the Inland Empire and make it possi ble for the farmer to get more for his products. The mere hauling of the grain from the Inland to Astoria for loading on chips of export Instead of at Portland, even at the same rate now paid to Portland, would not add another penny to the rate paid the farmer for his grain, even granting that the vessels would be so charitably Inclined as to reduce their charter rates, a thing not likely to happen, because the gralnbuyer and exporter, the man who charters the vessel, would be the one to benefit by such reduction of vessel rates. All this fine talk about benefiting the farmer by loading his grain on vessels at Astoria Is misleading, pure and sim ple buncombe made out of whole cloth. In the hope of enlisting the aid Qf our people In Astoria's personal fight against Portland. Whether ships are ever loaded at As toria or not, whether the Portland rate on wheat Is extended to Astoria or not, the Inland Empire cares not at all. But. If to gain Its point on a matter entirely Irrelevant to the question now at issue.

An open river from the head of navigation to the sea we will have, and Congress, in all Justice and equity, must do its share towards ktcj ing the deep sea channel open betwc n Astoria and Portland. If It were possible, at anything like a reasonable outlay of money, to make The Dalles a harbor for deep-sea vessels, we would flght for It. knowing full well that our farmers would make a handsome profit In the saving ot rail transportation. If Astoria expects to have any .sympathy and aid from the rtbt of the state, it would be well for her to stop knocking and turn her attention a the development of the rich resources, that are hers, and that others have not tried to take from her. WHERE HE LEARNED IT. j. Hamilton Lewis on His Knowl edge of Bnniclng. Philadelphia North American. James Hamilton Lewis, he of the "sun kissed whiskers." ex-Representative from the State of Washington, may De a statesman, philosopher and poet, out ce is not much of a financier. At least he wasn't a few years ago, before he en tered Congress. He tells the following story at his own expense: "When I opened my first bank account not so very many years ago I didn't have much Idea of how banks conducted busi ness. I made a deposit of a few hundred dollars, was given a bank book, which showed the amount of money I had to my credit, and a check book. Upon return ing to my office I carefully placed the bank book in my desk and forgot all about it. I carried the check book In my pocket for convenience sake. It was a new sensation for me to draw checks. I was like a child with a new toy. When I needed money, or anybody else wanted some, all I had to do was to go down after the check book. I was the proudest nn in nil th State of Washington. I I ,,ai, . mv h.ink account was as j long as that of j pierpont Morgan, John j jj Rockefeller, or tne moral law liseu. for that matter. Finally, nowever. i found that I had overplayed my hand, as they say out West. One day I received a notice from the bank that my ac count had been overdrawn to the extent of 537 50. I didn't really know what It meant or what to do. What do you sup pose I did do? Well. I'll tell you. I walked into the bank with the notice of overdraft, drew a check for the amount, handed both to the paying teller and started out of the bank. I was called back, and matters were explained to me. much to my humiliation. Since then I have kept a little closer tab on the stub end of my check book." Pigeon Cnrrler Service in Africa. St. Nicholas. The pigeon post at Durban.

It was only a short time before that the English Government had decided to establish a service of carrier pigeons. In the Navy, pigeon posts were Tecognized means of carrying information as early as 1896, and there are over a thousand birds recorded on the books of the royal Navy. The first Naval loft was at Portsmouth, and now there are two others. In the English Army the posts have been confined almost exclusively to the Cape, where the nature of the country makes the homing pigeon ser vice of more value than In England.
