THE MORNING PREG0NLA3?, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1903. UNDER HIS PLANS PinchotSays Forest Reserves Will Be Beneficial. POLICY DISCUSSED AT TACQMA Senator Poster Object to Injuring: the Greatest Industry la Wash ington br Indiscriminate Ex tension of Reserve Areas. TACOIIA, Wash., Oct 5. Special.) Many very earnest discussions were pre cipitated at the meeting held here today to discuss the forest reserve problem. Senator Foster presided, and led oft! "with a statement opposing; further -wholesale iforest extensions, urging the elimination -of numerous tracts of land already inside of existing reserves, and suggesting the advisability of the Government giving se--rious attention to the reclamation and reforestation of logged-off areas, rather than in permitting further extensions to retard settlement and injurs' to the chief industry, that of lumbering, to the State of "Washington. He said in part: Great Industry Injured. "I do not object to the forest reserve policy or theproper and Judicious pres ervation of our forests, 'nor the impor tant problems of reforestation; but I certainly do object to injuring the chief industry of the State of Washington by an indiscriminate and an unwise and im proper extension of the forest reserve areas over valley and foothill lands, which, when denuded of the harvest of timber, can and will be turned into pros perous farming districts. "When the forest reserve blanket was spread over the country indiscriminate ly, it is a fact that many large communi ties were included. From time to time this Injustice has been righted, and In all fairness it must be stated that the pres ent policy of the Government is to elim inate agricultural lands and lands which, when the timber is removed, can be con sidered agricultural lands, and placing them outside of the forest reserves. Here tofore the question has been raised as to the cost of removing timber and clearing lands, which, when the timber is removed, are suitable for agricultural purposes. For a long time this peculiar Idea re ceived recognition from those who advo cated the extension of the forest reserves, and this too, without considering the fact that the settler does not figure his time of great value, and that he slashes and burns at his convenience without regard to the number of days or the number of hours required. It has been figured, the oretically, that a settler might expend $200 worth of time in clearing an acre of land, which, when cleared was not worth for agricultural purposes to exceed $50. Therefore, it has been argued that the lands were not agricultural, but that they were more valuable for timber. "Now while this may be true, and while In many Instances the timber is desired for commercial purposes, still the policy of the Government has ever been to en courage the settler and -give him the ben efit of every doubt, and It should be the policy today to aidthe hardy settlers who go into our forests and "burn and carve out a home for themselves and for their families. The mere fact that a settler upon a quarter section of land that con tains a valuable crop of timber, expects to realize from the sale of this timber, should in no wise prejudice the Govern ment against the enterprise of the settler, and the question of including' such lands inside a forest reserve should only come up for serious discussion and considera tion when it involves the conservation end regulation of the water flow and the preservation of the forests in the moun tainous districts where the same will not Interfere with the bona fide settlers who are coming to this state by the thou sands to establish new-homes and to add tp the taxable areas of -each county of the state." What the Counties Want. Representative delegations were pres ent from nearly all of the counties of Western Washington, Jefferson, Skagit, Whatcom, Lewis and Chehalis Counties being particularly interested. The bulk of the counties were anxious to prevent further forest extensions, but Jefferson, Skamania and other counties, including Chehalis, were interested in securing the eliminations where forest reserves have been spread over agricultural areas or where bona fide settlers are endeavoring to build homes. The grazing interests "were represented particularly by B. F. Benson, who was determined, on behalf of the sheep inter ests in particular, to secure, satisfactory information as to why sheep are not to be raised on areas not now utilized by the Government, and which are entirely suita ble for grazing purposes. The mineral Interests were represented largely by R. C. Lange, -of Lewis County, and Senator J. W. Welty, of the same county. Joined ' heartily with him. Ska mania County asked for elimination of certain tracts in the southern part of the Rainier reserve. The officers of Jefferson County demanded that areas that are now the western part of the Olympic re serve be, opened up. Senator Emerson Hammer, Attorney Wilbra Coleman and a delegation from Skagit County, and J. J. Donovan, presi dent of the Bellingham Bay & British Colombia Railroad, which is seeking, a right of way through the Washington for est Teserve to Eastern Washington, ac companied by a delegation from Whatcom County commercial bodies, urged that the temporary reserves be not made perma nent in their section. The lumbering interest; In general fa vored some regulation which would allow practical logging to be carried on on for est reserves. The lumbermen and . Jog gers present decided that the present rules regulating forest reserves rendered it absolutely impracticable for the carrying on of lumbering Interests on forest re serves. It was also pointed out by Sen ator Foster that at present the law for bids the selling out of any state the lum ber cut on any forest reserves. Gifford PInchot Explains. Gilford PInchot chief of the Bureau of Forestry of the Agricultural Department, and the most active -advocate of the pres ent administration of forest reserves, In replying to Senator Foster and the vari ous delegations, stated that he desired" to have it specially understood: First That the temporary reserves were not necessary to be made permanent Second That he could not do better than quote the President in the declaration that forest reserves, as it is proposed to ad minister them, favor permanent settle ment and the upbuilding of the entire country, thereby bringing an aid to home builders and settlers. Third That forest reserves did not In terfere with holding agricultural lands in side of their borders. Fourth That he favored a law that would .enable agricultural lands to be re moved from forest reserves without a proclamation from the President- Five That the accepted administration of forest reserves would prove a benefit to the country, not only to the lumbering interest hut, to grazing, mineral and water privileges. He also favored a law per mitting the sale of lumber cut on forest reserves anywhere in the country. The Orecron Idea. ' He in particular referred repeatedly to what was construed by him to be a mis apprehension or mistaken Idea of forestj reserve administration, ea far as Oregon people arc concerned. He had gathered LN- impression tnat Oregonians felt that the placing of lands inside of a forest re serve practically robbed them of their use fulness. Mr. PInchot held that the very opposite was the case, and that all of the benoflts that were vested in these lands at the tlmo they are placed in reserves could and would be utilized by the people, and that there would be no Interference with mining, grazing, water rights and timbor Interests resulting from the exten sions of forest reserves; provided, of course, that his plans of forest reserve administration are carried out These and like statements brought out many practical questions from those pres ent, resulting in the admission that under the preserving rules and regulation's the chief Industry of the State of Washing ton, that of lumbering, could not be car ried on in a practical way inside of forest reserves. It "was shown that one of the regulations, for Instance, requiring those who remove such trees as the Government designates aro to remove all debris and waste. LnmbcrlnR Hot Practicable. It was stated by Senator Foster and others that this could not be done without losa to the loggers or mill men. Senator Hammer, who has several logging camps, also explained the impracticability of such a proposition. Frank B. Cole, of the West Coast Lumberman, in dilating upon a similar view of the case concluded by saying that if the forest reserve regula tions were carried out the lands logged off would have to be left in a condition suitable for a city park. Mr. PInchot admitted that the conditions existing in the State of Washington were not similar xto those in other localities and that the regulations were not adapted to these pe culiar conditions. He admitted .Senator Foster's suggestion that there was much more destruction of timber in this state by fire than by the ax or the saw, but he held that most of the destructive fires at this time originated outside of forest re serves, and D. B. Shellar, superintendent of forest reserves for the State of Wash ington, corroborated this assertion. In some localities visited by Mr. PInchot during the past Summer he stated that the people were gdad to have the forest re serves and the resulting forest protection extended about them. He referred to Wyoming iii particular, but said that the conditions there were not similar to those of Western Washington. He acquiesced in the idea of reclaiming and reforesting logged-off areas, and It is understood that Senator Fulton, of Oregon, is also heart ily in favor of such a plan. Mr. PInchot will be in Portland tomor row morning, leaving here on the North Coast Limited tonight During the last session of Congress Mr. PInchot endeavored to bring the forest reserves entirely under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Department The Secre tary of the Interior favored this move but Congress objected. PURE WATER FOR COLFAX Plan for Supplying the Town by Artesian Wells. COLFAX. Wash., Oct 5. (Special.) The City Council of Colfax is wrestling with the problem of obtaining better water and many plans have been sug gested, but none have been adopted and the city continues to use water from the Palouse River. During the dry season the river is clear, but in the rainy sea son when the stream ie muddy it is un fit to use, even for laundry purposes. The citizens are demanding better water and it seems likely that some method of ob taining this may be adopted soon. Professor W. J. Roberts, of the Wash ington Agricultural College at Pullman, has suggested a plan which looks good on the surface. Pullman Is supplied with artesian water, the best in Eastern Wash ington. There are IS artesian wells in Pullman, all flowing as freely today as when first opened, IS years ago. Efforts to obtain artesian water at Colfax and at Albion, six miles this side of Pullman, have been unavailing. Professor Roberts says that about four miles this side of Pullman Is a change in the rock forma tion and. a dike, or wall of rock extends across the country, and he thinks that cuts off the artesian water west of there. He suggests that a well be sunk on the Pullman side of that dike, and if ar tesian water be obtained that it be piped to Colfax, a distance of 14 miles. He sug gests using a new kind of wire-wrapped wooden pipe, 10 Inches in diameter, and says that a 10-Inch artesian well at that point will supply Colfax with an abun dant supply of pure water, which can bo carried here by gravity, as Colfax is 600 feet lower than Pullman. Professor Rob erts estimates the cost of such pipe, laid in the ground at $3000 per mile, or $42,000 for the entire line, 14 miles in length. He suggests bonding the city for sufficient funds to put in this system and thinks that the bonds can be sold for 5 per cent Interest or less, and that this Interest would cost less per annum than it costs to operate the present pumping plant Professor Roberts will be invited to ome before the City Council and submit trnd explain his plan to that body. STATE OFFICIALS CLASH. X. H. Loonej Appointed Reform School Superintendent. SALEM. Or., Oct 5. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Reform School today, Hon. X. H.

State Senator Stansell, who was severely roasted by Governor McBrlde, in a speech at Colville, because of Stansell's voting for railway measures, said today: "I think that when a Governor of great state like Washington stoops to ward-heeling politics, he Is made of pretty d common stock, and the sooner the people get rid of him the better for the state. His attack upon me was from a selfish motive and wholly unwarranted. I have tried to represent the people of Ste vens County to their best Interest, re gardless of Governor McBrlde and his political contortionists. If the same Clr cumstances were to occur again at Olym pla. I would do the same as I did before. In Stevens County, Governor McBrlde will either win out or disrupt the Republican party, and I think it will be the latter. "Governor McBrlde does not tell the truth when he says I went to Olympla opposed to a railroad commission. I went there favoring an elective commission. but at no time did I favor an appointive commission a commission that McBrlde could appoint From opinions that I heard in Stevens County, the speech of Governor McBrlde showed that he intends doing one or the other of two things, if he can either to get the indorsement of "Stevens County or to divide the Repub lican party in that couiity. I believe he can do neither of these things." SUBSTITUTED NEW C03IPLAINT. Hearing of the Hansen Divorce Suit at San Francisco. ASTORIA, Oct 5. (Special.)
