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. Looney, of Jef
ferson, ex-State Senator from this coun
ty, was elected superintendent of that in
stitution to succeed Superintendent H. E.
Bickers, the present incumbent The
change is to take effect January 1. Treas
urer Moore and Secretary of State Dunbar
both voted for Looney. but Governor
Chamberlain protested because Bickers
was admitted to be a good man and had
made a success of the institution. He had
no personal objection to Looney, but did
not think an experienced man should be
supplanted by an inexperienced one.
This is the first clash between state of
ficers since Governor Chamberlain's ac
cession to office. Governor Chamberlain
has repeatedly expressed himself as op
posed to a change in administration of'tbo
different state Institutions without good
and sufficient cause.
Superintendent J. F. Calbreath, of 'the
insane asylum, was elected to succeed
himself for another four years.

Only 910,000 .Unpaid Taxes in Clack
anins Connt)'.
OREGON CITY, Oct 5. (Special.) Un
paid taxes on the 1902 roll for Clackamas
County became delinquent at 6 o'clock
this evening. On a roll aggregating
$177,000, Sheriff Shaver has collected ap
proximately $16S,000. leaving delinquent
less than $10,000. Delinquent taxpayers
will now be obliged to pay 10 per cent
penalty, and 12 per cent per annum in
terest in liquidating with the county.
A great majority of the taxpayers of
this county took advantage of the new tax
law which gives the property-owner the
privilege of paying his taxes in two in
stallments. The principal heavy property-owners
paid their assesments within
the prescribed time and received the re
bate, which la this county aggregates
$1000. It is the opinion of the Clackamas
County officers that, this feature of the
tax law should be repealed, since It is an
advantage only to the man of wealth, who
is in a position to pay his taxes at any
season or the year.

STANSELL ROASTS IN TURN.
Calls Governor McBrlde a Ward
Heeler.
SPOKANE, Wash., Oct 5. (Special.)
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."

Cabinet Range, and the camn is estab
lished In one of the most picturesque lo
calities in the State of Washington. The
headwatera of the river comprise a num
ber of lakes of considerable size nestled
In the open, rolling hills -covered with
occasional strips of open pine timber fol
lowing the ridges back to the mountains.
The party had delightful weather for the
first two days of the trip, but this morn
ing a snow storm prevailed over the entire
highlands in the eastern part of the
county. According to the best opinion of
old-time hunters, the snow will drive the
deer frpm the mountains to the lakes, in
which event the Governor will be given
an opportunity to test his marksmanship
in the process of landing a splendid, catch
of .venison.

request of the people of Chewelap. Gov
ernor McBrlde has consented to deliver a

at the station there, if arrangements can
be made to detain the passenger train
for that length of time.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN
Has a Rival In the Rubber
Heel.
The hand that rocks the cradle
Rules all the world, they say.
But rubber underneath the heel
Takes the Jars of life away.
It is better to long to walk than to
walk too long unless .O'Sullivan Rubber
Heels are under feet.
Whllo we write this to influence the
skeptical nothing convinces like the
actual test A rubber heel under foot is
worth two in an advertisement
O Sullivan's is worth moro than all the
rest combined because it is new rubber,
imitations being made of reclaimed rub
ber; that is, rubber Junk revulcanlzed.
This secret tells the story: O'Sullivan
Heels cost the dealer more than any
heel on the market by the dozen.
But they cost you no more by the
pair.
You can send the 35c to the O'Sullivan
Rubber Co., Lowell, Mass. but try the
dealer first

Marriage, is very largely an accident.
In few cases do men or women set trj a
standard of manly or womanly excellence
and choose by it In moil cases people
become engaged as the result of pro
pinquity rather than because of any deep
rooted preference.
And so it often
happens' that the
wife enters upon
the obligations of
maternity just as
thoughtlessly as
she entered on the
marriage relation,
because no one
has warned her
of the dangers she
faces.
Thousands of
women become
invalids for lack
of knowledge of
themselves. It is
to this large body
of women that Dr.
Pierce's Favorite
Prescription
comes as a priceless boon, because it
cures womanly ills.
n Favorite Prescription" establishes
regularity, dries weakening drains, heals
inflammation and ulceration and cures
female weakness. It makes weak women
strong, sick women well.
"After my first child was born," writes Mrs.
Jordan Stout of Fawcettgap. Frederick-Co., Ya..
"my health was very poor for a long time, and
last winter I irarso had with pain down in back:
I could hardly more without great suffering.
My husband got me a bottle of Dr. Pierce's Fa
vorite Prescnptian and a. vial of his 'Pleasant
Pellets,' which' I used as directed. In four days
I was greatly relieved, aad now, after using the
medicine three months. I seem to be entirely
welL I can't see why it is that there are so
many suffering women when there is such an
easy way to be cured. I know your medicines
are the pest in the world."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets the fa
vorite family laxative. One 'Pellet' a
laxative, two ' Pellets ' a cathartic dose.

R. B. Long, harnessmaker, employed
with John Clark & Son, 104 Front Street,
who resides at 34S Second Street, says:
"Early last summor I broke out all over
my body with eczema, tetter or itch
I did not know just what It was nor
what caused Its appearance but I do
know that the torture I endured was un
endurable. I was very much alarmed
about it and was anxious to know what
caused it I thought the best thing to do
was to go to the doctor for treatment
I did so and was treated by different
ones but they failed to do me any good.
When I became- the least bit overheated
I Just fairly clawed the, skin off me. Any
one who has never had anything of the
kind knows nothing at all about It I
was In bad shape when I noticed an
advertisement in our paper about Doan's
Kidney Pills Ointment being a sure cure
for such afflictions. I said to myself,
'here's another fake, but I'll try It
and I went to tho Laue-Davls Drug Co.'s
store, corner of Yamhill and Third Sts.,
and got a box. It proved to be all that
it claimed for it Leas than two boxes
made a complete cure of my case. About
this time my younger brother was taken
with the same affliction. A box and a
half of Doan's Ointment cured him. I
know what I am talking about when I
say that Doan's -Ointment is one remedy
which can be depended upon."
