18 THEMORMXG OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1909, iSPEGIAL RULING SAVES REGIMENT War Department Lets Fourth j Infantry, 0. N. G., Remain ' ... Intact in Service. REGULATIONS PUT ASIDE Secretary of War Iecldes That the Southern Oregon Command May Have More Time In Which to ' Acquire 3icv Companies. ' Rather than run any risk of lnsing any of the menppr troops now subject to Its call for offense or defense, a special rul ing has been made by the War Dcpart ment permitting; the Fourth Oregon In fantry to retain Its regimental identltv. notwithstanding it lacks a full battalion of being a regulation regiment. Announce ment of this ruling was received at Na 'tlonal Guard headquarters yesterday, and the word was" forwarded immediately to the headquarters of the Southern Oregon command, at Eugene, where it is expert led to arouse enthusiasm and awaken the (warring interest of the Southern Oregon Guardsmen in things military. Dick Law Ofrset. The ruling serves to offset the effects of the Dick law, which provides that no Federal appropriations shall be given for support of Incomplete- regiments after January 21. 1910. Although Adjutant-Gen-, eral Finzer had 'been working- several . months for a special ruling, little en ! couragement was given by the War De partment until recently. Some time ago it was decided to transfer the Southern Oregon- regiment Into the Coast Artillery Reserve Corps for auxiliary service In ih fortifications at. the mouth of the Colum bia River. Announcement of that fact was made following a meeting of the gen eral staff, which controls the affairs of the Oregon National Guard. Naturally, the Fourth Regiment did not favor the idea of going Into the Coast Artillery service. The members long have heen proud of their regiment and Its achievements nt Summer joint maneu vers. Incidentally, the command long has . been successful in capturing the bulk of ; the desirable awards and trophies for : marksmanship. However. the officers I said they would do tiieir best to awaken ; the interest of the men in artillery. A vote was taken, and only one company signified a willingness for transfer. When this state of affairs was made , known to the War Department, Colonel j K. M. Weaver, C. S. A., Chief of Division ; of the tlencral Staff Corps, advised Oen ' eral Finzer that the experience has been found general where efforts have been made to convert infantry into coast ar tillery. Xcw Artillery Hest. "It is generally impracticable," said Colonel Weaver in his letter, "unless ab solutely necessary, to transfer infantry companies to the coast artillery branch, , for the reason that invariably there are two distinct cliques developed, one fac tion favoring the old infantry wtirk and i the other favoring the new artillery work, f It is thought to be much better to organ ' ize new coast artillery companies." ' At first the War Department urged the i formation of four new companies of in j fantry to complete the Southern Oregon ' regiment, but the small military appro ' priatlon made by the last Legislature was not sufficient for that purpose. The de partment then suggested that, inasmuch as the Fourth wasn't enthusiastic about the change to artillery, it might be pos sible to get three companies of artillery out of the eight Infantry companies. Fi nally came the letter yesterday, announc ing that the Secretary of War had. used I his discretion as to the enforcement of the law, and had decided to permit the regiment to stand and continue drawing Its Federal allowance. More Companies Wanted. While this ruling applies for an indefi nite period, it will bo necessary, never- theless. eventually to bring the Fourth i up to the requirements of the regulations., j General Finzer said yesterday that the . general staff will ask the next Legisla ture for a small additional appropriation j for organization and support of four new j companies. As soon as practicable, three i more companies of coast artillery will be organized, one of them to be stationed at Marshfteld. on Coos Bay. One company Is already In existence at Astoria. The location of the other companies has yet to be determined. The companies of the Fourth Regiment which will benefit by the ruling announced yesterday are stationed as follows: Head quarters and two companies at Eugene, one company each, at Cottage Grove, Mc Minnvllle, Albany, Dallas, Roseburg and Ashland. The commanding officer Is Colo nel George O. Yoran, of Eugene, and the battalion .commanders are Major F. B. Hamlin, of Roseburg. and Major Creed C. Hammond, of Eugene. RAISING NEW FORESTS Special Reference Made to Oregon's Timber Supply. KELSO. "Wash., Dec. 13. (To the Edi tor. in a recent Issue of The Oregon! an. I noted a criticism of an article written by myself and published in the Septem ber issue of the Timberman, upon the re forestation of our burned-over and logged off lands. I am thankful for the fair and Intelli gent criticism given for I feel that the last word has not been spoken on this important subject, and that it is only by discussion that public interest can be aroused, so that our present forests will be conserved and our burned-over and logged-off lands be reforested. We have within the states of Oregon and Washing ton hundreds of thousands of acres of such land that are at present producing nothing, that could easily be producing wealth at the rate of $6 each year per acre, the crop to be harvested by the coming generation, 40 to 100 years hence. We are at present robbing nature's vast storehouse of her wealth, and putting nothing back. Benjamin Franklin once said: "Always taking out of the meal tub and putting nothing in, soon reaches the bottom." That is exactly what we are doing with our forests. We owe it to our children and our children's children, to change our methods and begin raising new forests to replace the ones we are destroying by our wasteful work. We have the soil and the climate, the con ditions are Ideal for the raising of im mense forests, owing to our heavy rain fall. Yet a great deal of this mountain ous land, owing to the fact that it is steep and rocky, is suitable for little else than growing these giant forests. r quote, oo less a person than James J. Kill when I say that an acre of timber will furnish us much tonnage for a railroad, t an acre devoted to the raising of wheat will In 100 years, and I think I may safely ay It will produce one-half as much wealth as an acre of iajiU devoted to the' raising of wheat .during the sam le time.

T . 1E, I think, a proper subject for the state and National governments to take hold of, and it Is only through Intelligent discus sion of the subject that the people will or can be sufficiently interested and aroused to see the great importance of this source of wealth. I wish to briefly answer the last clause of The Oregonian criticism, where it says: 'The only weakness it exhibits is in the premise that fruitgrowers and so on, are not taxed while waitir.g for their crop. Mr. Young can relieve his brain of this dear illusion by the simple process of setting out an orchard. If the tax on the land where he plants his trees does not double Instantly It will be a blessed excep tion to a universal rule. The truth of the matter is that our entire system of taxa tion seems to have been planed" to smother productive industry." Now, although The Oreeonian's criticism was aimed at me, it nearly missed. I did not say that fruit growers and so on are not taxed while waiting for their crop. What I did say was this: "But a sys tem that does not tax the growing crops of the farmer, the gardener or the fruit grower (mind, the trees are not the crop with the fruitgrower) and taxes the grow ing crop of timber over and over, and at a rate that will confiscate the entire crop in 30 to 35 years when it takes from 40 to 100 years to raise this crop, is cer tainly open to valid objection." I agree with T.te. Oregonian in hoping that the people who make the laws mav be set to thinking, and that. in the near future our system of taxation may be changed to a system that does not smother productive industry. That this unwise system of taxation may be brought to public notice, especially In so far as It affects an fndu.try which from the very nature of things should he one of our chief sources of wealth for all time, is my excuse for this letter.

The "Woman's Club of Portland, In dorsing all progressive movements, and being particularly Interested In the civic improvement of the city and working for the banishment of things unsani tary, unsightly and unattractive. is greatly pleased to note that the Port land Theater has taken the Initiative in abolishing that offense to the eye and to good taste, the advertising drop-curtain, and by unanimous vote has au thorized a public expression of Its com mendation and gratitude to the man agement for this action, by which a boon has been conferred upon the theater going public and a stand taken for civic Improvement and for beauty. The wish of the club Is that other theaters may follow this commendable example, and that many a performance, otherwise enjoyable. should not be marred by enforced contemplation of an aggregation of signs, ugly and obnoxious bringing the well-deserved criticisms of the "stranger within our gates" as to the commercialism and conditions of the West. The love of the beautiful Is cultivated by placing beautiful things in evidence, and the standard Is lowered by unsightly vulgarity. All honor to those who are taking steps in the right direction toward: the refinements of beauty and the ad vancement of the civic pride of the city, and to the management of the Portland Theater are due the especial thanks of the Woman's Club.

Medical spe cialists, as a rule, give prominent mention to the number of years they have devoted to the practice of the various specialties. In this regard I do not differ from most other specialists. I frequently state that I have treated men only for 25 years. This is a thing of importance that can be told in a few words. That's why I tell It so often. The thing I now wish to tell about requires more space In telling, and I may or may not tell it more than this once. Experience isn't worth much unless it has quality, In it. In fact. It isn't worth any thing. It is Just like all other bad things the greater the quantity the more badness there is. I do not mean this as a personal reference xo any ocner aoctor, wnetner gener al practitioner or specialist. I merely make the statement because It is the truth that has application here. To do a thing wronglv a thousand time only fits one for doing It wrongly again, and the oftener he does it wrongly, the le.-. apt he is to do it rightly? To treat a thousand patients Indifferently or carelessly doesn't make skill but it adds indiffer ence and carelessness. To treat a thousand patients thoughtfully, care fully and conscientiously develops skill, a thing of value to the physician himself, and to every patient he may treat thereafter. This is experience of quality. It Is a kind of experience that I have been constantly ac quiring for 16 years. I have carried no moss-grown theories or methods with me. Others may cling to theories I prefer truths. I have put thought and study Into all my work that I might ascertain the truth and make ny troar ment scientific I have felt a personal interest in the welfare of my patients, and have treated them carefully and conscientiously. I havo studied each case I treated. I have learned the truths that I have suught, and have made my treatments scientific.
