Save Forests, Says Pinchot.
Mr. Plnchot was given a hearty ov.
tion as he began his speech. All morn
ing he had been handshaking those
about the hall and. when he arose to
speak, deafening applause greeted him,
"That the National duty lies in the
direction of conservation there is no
doubt." he said. "I can conceive of no
higher plane of duty than that we con
serve our vast resources along the lines
of the Roosevelt policies, and to these
policies I am committed.
"It is folly for us to say there is
land In plenty and forests In plenty,
when we know that our forests are
being depleted far more swiftly than
it is possible for us to reforest. We
have forests in plenty for the present
generation and perhaps for the next,
but in the years to come there will be
famine a-plenty if we do not at this
time take the stitch In time.
"Conservation on the line laid down
by Roosevelt will not only keep our
present forests, but will give us lum
ber when we nee it most. To save
these forests now may require much
self-denial, but it will give the country
resourcus in the years to come.
Following his plea for the forests, he
urged reclamation and said It lies witn
the West to' make fertile with its own
labor the vast tracts which would
otherwise be lost. He promised the
aid of the Government in every mer
itoriou enterprise looking toward con,
serration.
Xoble Is for Conservation.
John W. Noble. ex-Secretary of the
Interior, spoke on conservation of for
erts and water rights. He said the
forest reserve laws did not contem
plate paring down the reserves by the
relinquishments or tracts lor private
settlement or for grazing where they
were needed to preserve water supply.
There was no substantial ground to
criticise the reserves as made, it be
ing admitted that they were needed to
grow timber and to preserve the soil
from being swept away. Public opinion
showed a purpose that the country's
natural resources, believed to be essen
tial to the Nation's vitality and prog
ress, should be protected from private
and particularly corporate greed and
monopoly, and controlled for the publio
elfare now and hereafter.
The benefits were National in char
acter, extending from the state where
the reserves were created to every
state along the streams which rose in
the reserves, and individual and local
community Interests could not be con
sidered at the expense of the public
good. The lesser claim on these re
sources must yield to the greater.
For All, Not for Monopolies.
It was apparent, the speaker con
tinued, that the great benefits of the
forest and water resources, if they were
ailowed to fall into the hands of indi
viduals, and particularly corporations,
would be administered fop the greatest
pecuniary gain possible to the owners.
He said that, if the National Govern
ment or the several state governments
where they had obtained similar re
serves, lightly allowed them to become
monopolized by individuals or com
binations, they would be deemed to
have abdicated the very seat of govern
ment and. after having so long pre;
tended to protect the people, would
have at last turned them over, cribbed
and penned, to their oppressors. The
very least that could be expected of the
Government would be to keep ultimate
control of all rules and regulations, so
that the ministration of the trust could
r.ot be successfully perverted.

HARRIMAN STRIKES BLOW
(Continued From First Page.)
ht the Inauguration by the Union Pa
clflr of its through train service over the
Northern Pacific to Puget Sound points
hnrt heen abandoned indefinitely. une
only explanation obtainable at the local
Vfarriman offices yesterday for the aban
donment of this proposed service was
the announcement that it had been 1m
possible for the Harriman road to pro
cure the necessary equipment for the ser
vice. It was declared that notning or
an official nature regarding the subject
had been received from the head offices
at Chicago, and until these advice have
been received confirmation of yesterday's
rumor cannot be expected.
Sonnd Service Overlooked.
Inability of the Harriman system to s
semble extra equipment by which to op
erate a service to Puget Sound is re
garded as a lame excuse for deferring
without date the Inauguration of a pass
enger service between this city and Ta
coma and Seattle. ' Announcement that
Htll has taken a hand in the Deschutes
railroad situation and Is personally sup
plying the funds with which the Oregon
Trunk expects to build a competing line
Into Central Oregon, regardless of the
operation of the Harriman system. Is
believed to be the real reason for a post
ponement of the Union Pacific train ser
vice to Puget Sound, especially when It
has been heralded repeatedly that such
an agreement had been reached between
Hill and Harriman for the joint use by
the latter of the Northern Pacific track
to the Washington cities.
Terminal Situation Worse.
For the very same reason It Is gravely
suspected that tlie promised settlement
of the terminal situation and other points
of difference between the two rival rail
road generals, especially affecting Port
land and Its interests, has been longer de
ferred. It Is naturally to be expected
that Harriman will resent the threatened
Invasion of his long-time enemy of a ter
ritory Harriman has regarded as his ex
clusive property. Just to what extent
this resentment will be manifested Is, of
course, a matter of conjecture, but the
unofficial announcement of an indefi
nite postponement of the execution of the
Hill-Harriman compact respecting the
operation of a Seattle train service Is
regarded as exceedingly significant at
this stage of the game.
Man Falls Through Ceiling.
VALE, Or., Aug. 18. (Special.) F. B.
Browning, electrician In the employ of the
Vale Light & Water Company, was
treated to a fall - yesterday afternoon
that just missed being serious. Brown
ing was wiring a residence in the west
part of town and was at work In the
attic. The room was dark and while
groping around he lost his balance and
fell through the plastered celling, landing
on his head on the floor below. He suf
fered from a sprained ankle and a shak
ing up.
Chehalln Ratifies Bonds.
CHEHALI9. Wash., Aug. 18. (Special.)
Chehalls voters yesterday again ratified
their decision of a few weeks ago, 91 to
22, in the matter of (15,000 City Hall
bonds. The former election was made
useless because of a flaw In the ordinance
passed regarding the bonds. An order for
the bonds has been made by the Security
State Bank of Chehalls and it Is expected
the work will now go ahead as riginally
planned.
higher up" and the intricate ramifications
In high finance which Persch has sug
gested from time to time, he failed ut
terly to say anything to convince Mr.
Jerome that there was any conspiracy.
Persch was charged with the larceny
of J100.000 worth of stock, which he is
alleged to have procured from the Wind
sor Trust Company, where it was placed
In good faith by A.' M. Joyce, acting for
Mr. Heinze, as collateral for a $50,000
loan.
The young man't attorney Insisted that
Perch had been victimized by wiser and
bigger men. but his client refused to
make any statement which would bear
this out. The court refused to reduce
bail from 450,000 and the prisoner entered
no plea, the case going over to Monday.
Mr. Jerome told the court that from
what he had ascertained the Windsor
Trust Company was In no way responsi
ble. The release of the securities to
Persch. he saltf, was due enteirely to the
act of an employe.
WHEAT YIELD IS UNDER
HARVESTING HALF OVER AND IS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Average at Ritiville Runs 6 51
Bnshels to Acre and in Some Lo
calities Goes Much Less.
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 18. (Spe
cial.) Wheat harvest Is about half
over at Ritzvllle, Adams County, and
the yield is not as good as counted upon
a month ago. E. H. Herring, who is
cutting with a combine, is making 35
bushels per acre on his farm 15 miles
south, and it Is understood the yield
over the flat is good. A. S. Newland,
four miles west. Is making about 25
bushels per acre, and says that is about
as good as there is in his vicinity. In
some localities the yield is much lighter
than 25 bushels.
In Reardan, Lincoln County, harvest
has only just been started and but very
little threshing has been done. Only
two reports have been received on the
yield, showing an average of 25 bush
els per acre, the quality being all No. 1,
At Wilson Creek about 50 per cent
of the wheat crop has been cut and 25
per cent threshed. Northeast of there
the wheat has averaged 20 bushels, but
the light crop In the southern part of
the territory will bring the average
down to 16 bushels per acre.
Harvest weather Is Ideal and nearly
all the farmers in the Harrington wheat
belt have their combined harvesters or
headers In the field caring for their
crops. Yields on Fall plowing are mak
ing 15 bushels and on Summer fal
lowed land Spring sowing yields of
from 15 to 32 bushels have been re
ported.

SUSPICION CLEARED AWAY
Husband Returns to Wife After 14
Tears, Refuting Murder.
PHILL1PSBUBG. N. J., Aug. 18. Mrs.
George Frey, who for 14 years has suf
fered under, the suspicion of her neigh
bors that she had foully done away with
her husband, is now enjoying her day of
triumph. With the long-missing husband
seated beside her, she is driving through
out the countryside, calling the farmers'
wives from their homes and exhibiting
the man for whose strange disappearance
she has snffered so much. She cries:
"Here is my husband I See, he is alive.
I did not kill him." N
After a quarrel with his wife 14 years

cago, where he says he has since accu-
mulated a modest fortune as a building
contractor.
Following his disappearance ugly ru
mors spread, and scores of suspecting
residents of this vicinity went to the
Frey farm, turned over every square
foot of It and searched every nook and
corner for his body. Although it was not
found, Mrs. Frey continued to rest under
the suspicion of her neighbors, and had
been practically ostracized until the re
turn of her husband on Sunday.
Frey says he has come back to take
his wife to Illinois with him, but she has
replied that she has lost all love for him.
and that another man Is desirous of
making her his wife. But she is enter
taining Frey in her home as a guest and
using him to refute the rumors concern
ing her. She states that she will give her
husband another chance to win her love,
and that If he fails she will obtain a di
vorce and marry the other man.

HUME'S MONOPOLY ENDED
Anybody Can Catch Salmon Xow la
Rogue River, Says Court.
MARSHFIELD, Or Aug. 18. (Spe
cial.) Attorneys have returned from
Wedderburn, in Curry County, where
they went to take part in a lawsuit In
volving the fishing rights on Rogue
River. Twelve men who were employed
by the Union Fisheries Company, fish
ing for salmon, were arrested for tres
pastng on the tidelands of the estate of
the late R. D. Hume.
Herbert Hume holds a lease for the
fishing right from the estate, and his
manager, John Hume, complained that
the employes of the Union Company
were drawing up their nets on the
Hume land. The estate owns 12 miles
upon each side of the river, and the
company has to load the fish in boats
anchored in the river. It is asserted
they had been lately trespassed and
the arrest followed. The fishermen
were taken before Judge Daly and dis.
charged, the court holding that the
Hume lease was not good.
R. D. Hume during his life succeeded
in keeping all others from catching
salmon In the Rogue River.
