IDAHO FIGHT ON FORESTRY
Dubois Stands by President Against
Jlcst or Delegation.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, May 24. The announced determin
ation of the Roosevelt administration to
create new forest reserves In Idaho, the
opposition to this policy, led by Senator
Heybum. and the championing ot tho
move by Senator Dubois, promises to
make forestry one of the foremost Issues
in jaano ror several years to come.
At the outset., accordinir tn both Sena.
tors, the predominant sentiment in Idaho
is against the extension of forest reserves.
A vast majority of the people today be
lieve thefe are enonch reserve. and ran.
tend that more should not be created. Yet
tne experience of other states Indicates
that this sentiment will crndtmlK- dip
down, that tho onrosltlon will TvtthVi- ns

President's foretrv doIIpv and understand
just what reserves are for and how they
are managed.
There Is no denvine that fnrwirv a a

ago. our nractical forestrv. laid nut on
comprehensive lines, with a view to srv
ing ine puouc interests. Five years ago
practically every Western state was op
posed to the orevalllntr Government for
estry policy, because It was Impractical,
Decause it was administered by men who
had no knowledge Of fnrMlre nrnltrra
and because the forestrv servW had hl
come the dumping-ground for worn-out
politicians rrom every state In the Union.
When Theodore Roosevelt hramc pci.
dent he saw what a mess the forestrv
service was: he realized that thr- w.t
had jUEt caUPft for comnlnlnf. and Yin vnri-
quickly set about brinclns- ordpr nut r
chaos. He knew that Gifford Pinchot,
chief of the Forestry Bureau, was the
rignt man to nanoic forestry matters, and
he. with Mr. Pinchot. frampd a non.- for
estry policy, which has been in force for
more than three vears. This ntan-nor-
mlts proper use of the foVest: it permits
tne cutting or mature trees, the develop
ment or mine wherever minerals are
found: it ncrmlts restricted prain- it
gives the public many privileges not 'en-
303-eu in an unreserved public forest, and,
withal. It throws around the forests as
complete a system of protection as Is pos
sible with the limited fund? appropriated
oy congress.
The outcry acalnst the. Ttonspvuit tnra
try policy usually comes from those who
do not understand, or those who know
tncy win do curtailed In the exercise of
what they erroneously term their
"rights." Rig lumber corporation? that
are seeking to denude the forests, with no

PROTEST AGAIXST UXIOX.
Its Authors Say Cumberland Church
Would Be Absorbed.
FRESNO, Cal-Iay 24. The protest of
the anti-unionists was filed at the after
noon session of the General Assembly of
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. It
declared the belief of the protestants In
the. doctrines of the Cumberland Ohiirrh.
and that the revision of the Westminster
confession was not a revision, and that
there Is no doctrinal agreement between
the two bodies. It affirmed that none ot
the steps taken have been constitutional;
that there is no authority for the pro-
poseu union, ana mat tne plan proposed
simply means the absorption of the Cum
berland Church Into the larger body. It
also says that the Presbyterian Church
has not comnlled strictly with the agree
ment to change its form of government
ana is not a unit in desiring union.
Drs. Tcmpleton and Black. Judge Beard
and Presidents Turner and Taylor were
appointed to prepare a reply to the pro
test. The unionists also proposed to read
a pastoral letter which they purposed
sending out to the churches. A storm ot
protests arose from the antis. who were
not willing to even have the letter read.
Following their conciliatory .policy, tho
unionists withdrew the proposition with
out reading. -
With great enthusiasm the assembly
received an announcement from President
Black that Judge and Mrs. B. D. Rose,
of CurryvIIIe, Mo., had contributed J10.000
for Missouri Valley College. A resolution
was adopted dissolving the board of Sun
day school and young people's work. A
resolution asking that Senator Smoot oe
not allowed to remain In the Senate was
adopted. Decatur. Til., was selected as
the next nlace of meetlnr. Resolutions
were adopted commending railroads and
oiner corporations wnicn win not empioy
users of intoxicating liquors.
A contest was exnected over the renort
of the committee on publication, to which
was rcrerred a resolution practically ask
ing that the editor of the church naoer be
removed. The committee reported that it
found no facts to justify such a course.
J.ne report was adopted without debate.
The missions renort also -was ndnnted
without debate, except a mild complaint
that the administration of the board cost
too much. The report commended the offi
cers of the board and directed that the
Sunday schools provide a buildlnir for a
boys school In China. Reports on educa
tion and temperance followed.

it. You naturally fear it is brain

you it is your liver. A slug-

The disease that has done more
than any other to wreck, ruin and
humiliate life, Contagious Blood Poison. Sorrow, shame and suffering go
hand in hand with this .great enemy, and man has always hated and fought
it as he has no other disease. It is the most powerful of all poisons; nomat
ter how pure the blood may be, when its virus enters, the entire circulation
becomes poisoned and its chain of horrible symptoms begin to show. Usu
ally the first sign is a small sore or ulcer, not at all alarming in appearance,
but the blood is being saturated with the-deadly poison, and soon the mouth
and throat begin to ulcerate, the hair and eyebrows drop outr a red eruption
breaks out on the body, copper-colored splotches and sores make their
appearance and the poison even works down into the bones and attacks
the nerves. Not only is the disease hereditary, being transmitted from
parent to child, in the form of scrofula, weak eyes, soft bones, weak, puny
constitutions, etc., but is also so highly contagious that many a life has
been ruined by a friendly hand shake, or from using the toilet articles of
one infected with the poison. To cure this blighting, deadly curse the
blood must be purified, and nothing will do it so
quickly and surely as S. S. S. It goes down to the
