THE MOTXXING OREGOXIAX. 3IOXDAT, JXJLT 5. 1013. FOREST SERVICE IS THWARTED BY LANE Secretary Creates Alaska Re serve to Circumvent Ultra-Conservationists. RAILROAD TO GET TIMBER Otherwise, Government Would HaTe to Pay for Material It Al ready Owns, Thus Deplet ing Appropriation. OREGON'IAN NEWS BTJREATJT. Wash ington, July 1 "Go Into the Chugach forest reserve and cut all the timber you need for the construction of the Government railroad in Alaska," said the Forest Service to Secretary Lane, 'when the latter broached the Forester for the necessary permit, "but." added the Forester, "you must pay us the market price for all the .timber you cut." When Secretary Lane found himself tp against the proposition of the Gov ernment's buying its own timber to tuild its own railroad, thereby threat ening to deplete the appropriation made by Congress, he proceeded to cog itate, and in due time evolved a scheme whereby he circumvented the Forest Service and got all the timber he and the Alaska Railroad Commis sion will require, for the mere cost of cutting. Timber Reserve Created. The Forest Service having held that not even the Government can cut tim ber from a forest reserve without pay ing for it. Secretary Lane proceeded to create a vast "timber reserve" north .of the Chdgach forest reserve, and along the. line of the proposed Govern ment railroad, and this "timber re serve," created by-the Interior Depart ment, is under the exclusive jurisdic tion of the Interior Department, and is to be used under the direction of Sec retary Lane. The Forest Service has no jurisdic tion and cannot interfere. Incidentally, tne Alaska Railroad Commission will have. In this reserve, all the timber it will require, and the mature timber in the Chugach forest reserve will con tinue to die of old age. This is the first known instance in which the Government has been thwarted in one of its own policies by the ultra-conservation practiced by the Forest Service. Secretary's Purpose Explained. The purpose of the "timber reserve" created by Secretary Lane is explained by the following statement Issued by the Interior Department: "The purpose of the reservation is to prevent the timber needed for the construction of the Government rail road and its branches in Alaska from falling Into possession of individuals or corporations, in which event it would be necessary for the Govern ment to purchase tmber which it once owned. It is not the intention of the Government, however, to make any unnecessary restrictions which will tend to retard the development of the territory of Alaska along the line of the railroad or its branches and in the withdrawal order the interests of the public have been conserved In every way possible. Only the timber on the land, not the land Itself, has been re served. "The land is still subject to location, settlement or entry under the public land laws, and It Is provided within the withdrawal order that the Secre tary of the Interior may permit eetr tiers and those engaged in business in the locality to obtain such timber as they require for their own uses, pro vided ,that the timber Is not needed for the construction of the. railroad. "It is the intention of the Govern ment while conserving so much of its resources as it may need for its own use. at the same time to co-operate with the public in permitting the de velopment of that part of the Terri tory of Alaska, for the benefit of which the railroad is being constructed." DEATH CAMAS DESCRIBED Department of Agriculture Issues ' Bulletin on Poison Weed. The Department of Agriculture has Just issued a bulletin (No. 125) on "Zygadenus. or Death Camas." This bulletin will doubtless be of interest to those who have recently suffered losses due to the poisoning of their stock, caused by the eating of this plant. According to this publication, the death camas is found throughout the United States and as far north as Alaska; but it is most abundant from the Rocky Mountains west to the Pa cific Ocean. The plant may grow as more or less scattered individuals, but it is sometimes massed together in large areas. In appearance it is grass like, growing from a root stock or bulb which looks like an onion; while the flowers are greenish-white or yellow and somewhat' resemble mignonette. In the Northwest the plant is known by numerous common names, such as lobelia, soap plant, alkali grass, water lily, wild onion, hog's potato, squirrel lood. poison sego, etc. Numerous experiments have been made to discover a remedy for poison ing of sheep caused by eating this plant, but no satisfactory or practical medical remedy has been found. To prevent losses. It is Important to rec ognize the plant and avoid camping stock on it at any time, or grazing on it when the animals are hungry. If the animals become sick, they should be kept quiet, and under this treatment many will recover. ADELE SNOWDEN WEDDED i onfhrrn Girl Is Bride of Alfred W. Haywood, Jr., in Xew York. NEW YORK.

EDITORIAL The Crawfish baa always stood for a safa and sano Fourth, ever since Us editor sot hit in the eye with the la out of m Ro man candle, and It la as tronff for it today as ever. We feei that It is a great thine to be able to see the anniversary of our Nation's birth roll round, with a reasonable certainty that the youofer members of the tribe will show up on the moraine after with the full complement of eyes, ears and fingers, al though by careful Investigation we have been able to find bat few of the younger generation tbst agree with us. We feel that today should be made especially a day of thank, jiving over the fortune that has made It possible for our country to worry along this far with out fretting- mixed up In the un pleasantness across the water and a day for sincere suppli cation that oar country may continue, with honor, to keep from being embroiled in the contest. But we understand that sev eral speakers who wi 11 ad dress audiences today are preparing to make the day an occasion of pointing out that 'un pre pa-redness is the greatest Insurance of peace" and to reiterate the doc trine for which the lata Wm. Bryan fought and died a po litical death. If this information be well founded. The- Crawfish feels called upon at this time to arise and point out to these speakers that, as It said at the beginning of this editorial, it la strong; for a "safe and sane" Fourth. But we doubt If they will get what we're driving at. at that. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Vie Huerta has abandoned hU plan to spend his Summer vac a- ' tion in Mexico,' we hear, and will remain in the United States. George Baker took office as a Commissioner the other day and we haven't heard anyone agitat ing a recall yet. which we are told is the best record yet made by a Commissioner In Portland. Good luck to you. Ueorge, say we. 6, Benson, the w. k. and 'nardy foutitaineer. has been selected tt hang'in the hall of fame for a day at San Francisco, but w saw him up the Columbia High way last Thu. with JohnYon and he didn't seem to be mac a worried over the omtlook. Jno. Cochran, the prom, sec retary to D. Cupid In John Cof fey's office, announced the other day that weddings had fallen off In June, but Tom Gerber, the w. k. police expert on our est. con tern p.. The Oregon Ian, In forms us that he can be In no way blamed for this condition. He says that they will be at home to their friends at- their little bungalow between here and Trout dale soon, and hopes the boys don't mint Mary Ann about the local room. Milt Miller, the w. k. war horse of Democracy, will point with pride to ,ur past achieve ments at one of the celebrations today. We have been unable to ascertain as we go to press whether Col. Robert A, ditto will ditto, but we think It highly likely. Dec Hockey returned the other day from San Francisco w here he has been talking over germ with the other docs at the Nat 1 convention of docs there. We haven't . heard whether doc plrked up any good stories while there, but we expect he did. HOTEL REGISTER LOOKS LIKE WAR ZONE GUIDE From Rome, Moscow, Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna and Bel grade They Come; Towns Are in New York and Other States. "S AT." remarked the new reporter to the brisk-looking, clean shaved, always-ready-to-oblige hotel clerk at the leading hostelry of the city, "Watchutgotintbewayuvtour-istsfromthewai-Eone? Cityeditorwanta toworkupay a z nabouteurspeantravelto ourfairto wn." The brisk-looking hotel clerk care fully flicked a piece of ash from the desk and twiddled the pages of the guests' register ruminatingly. His face even fell for an instant but only for an Instant for, rapidly readjusting it with a scarcely perceptible movement of his right hand, the tame that had flicked the ash, he became again the clean-shaved, polished, brisk-looking, always-ready-to-oblige hotel clerk. ,"Y'r city editor's got the right idea." he observed. "Just thinking myself there was room for a good war zone tourist story. Sure, I c'n tell you all the dope. Being the leading hotel, we get 'em from all parts of the globe. "Just to start you off right," he -continued, shifting from low into middle gear and gaining noticeably in speed, "as those Germans'll likely have War saw in a week or two now, you'd better lead 'em off with an item about a Warsaw tourist. You c'n say In the paper that J. Kosciusko and wife, an expert of Warsaw "WhatkindoTanexpert?" interposed the new reporter. Warsaw In Prof nsion. " a leading traffic expert of War saw, Ind. is stopping at this hotel. If you don't like Indiana, there's 10 other Warsaws to pick from. They're in Kentucky, Minnesota, Illinois, Mis souri, New York. North Carolina. North Dakota. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vir ginia. Just take your choice It's all the same to me. "Speaking of the Germans reminds me of Berlin," he went on, now on the high gear and running smoothly. "We mustn't forget Berlin. There's only 25 of them in this country. Here, for example," and he placed a finger for an infinitesimal fraction of titne on a name in the register, "Is Berlin. Ore gondown there in Linn County. Let's see I can't quite make out the name, but It's something like Kaiser yep. Bill Kai.er and family, of Berlin. There's other Berlins. 24 of 'em. in Alabama. California. Connecticut. Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Mary land, Massachusetts and a raft of other states, but we might as well stick right here in Oregon. . "Haven' terotaPrzemyslorLembergtour Isttherehaveyou?" queried the new re porter hopefully. ' "Now, lemme see," and the brisk looking - clerk scurried through the book. "Nope, tnat Przemysl's a hard one. and there don't seem to be a lumbers. But here's a party named Smith regis tered last week from Lemmon, South Dakota, and a Jones from Lemon, Mis sissippi. That ought to come In your war zone stuff, for Lemberg was a lemon for the Russians, all right. "Now I'm as neutral as they make em." he added with enthusiasm. "You want to get these other nations, too. Here's a Vlviant registered from Paris, Kentucky. And since this war began I've bad patrons here from Paris, Or. in Lane County, y'know and from Paris.

A big attend ance Is expected, but they won't have a greased pig race this year, which we deplore, believ ing this to be an Indispenslble feature of a proper celebration. Leone Case Baer departed Tuesday to lose herself In the mysterious .wilds of Billings. Montana, out of which we un derstand she is the greatest celebrity that ever emanated. The Crawfish notes her going wJth some satisfaction, because It likes to feel that somebody la going to get a nice, long vaca tion, even If It Isn't. Wo pre dict, however, that our local theatric maniacs will be glad for the return of the time that brings her back In our midst once more. Last wk. we delayed full pub lication of the account of the Pioneer Reunion until we could ascertain whether Hon. MUt Mil ler also spoke as did Col. Robe A ditto. We are yet unin formed on that point, but take pleasure In announcing that J as. Barton Adams. who Invented newspaper poetry. and Mrs, Adams, came over to the ptcnlo. so it is Immaterial wbether we continue the Investigation as to who else spoke. Into the bigger house to get plenty of room to stow away those audiences of which we spoke in a recent issue.

GARRISON IS HOPEFUL Secretary Finds That Larger Sta tion Will lie Required for Bet ter Army, Smaller Ones for Training Camps. OREGON'IAN NEWS BUREAU. 'Wash ington. July 1. Pending action by Congresa on the recommendations to be xubmltted by the Secretary of War, looking to the strengthening of the regular army. Its better and more com plete equipment ..and the creation of an army reserve, the War Department will give no further consideration to the proposed abandonment of small army posts in the West. If the Army legis lative programme goes through Con gress it is reasonably certain that all existing posts, those that are garri soned and those that are not. will be retained In some capacity. Secretary Garrison Is hopeful that Congress, among other things, will make provision for' an army reserve. If It does, there will be need for all the army posts la the country. The larger posts will be utilized as station for large Hod lea of regular troops, and some of these, ultimately, may be en larged, and the smaller posts, which have had a precarious status for sev eral years, because of the report of Secretaryof War Slimson. will be con verted into reserve posts, or points for the concentration and mobilisation of the reserve forces. Several of the posts In the Northwest are directly affected by the War De partment's policy. But for the prospect that an army reserve will he created. Fort Wright near Spokane, Boise Bar racks. Fort Harrison at Helena. lont and Kort Missoula. Mont, sooner or later would he abandoned as army posts, along with numerous other small posts scattered through the West, and In fact In other sections of the coun try. Most of these small posts are now without garrlxon and In charere of care, takers, the troops having been sent to the Mexican border. Had there been no prospect of a change In military policy some of these posts would never have been resrarrlsoned, and others only temporarily. Should Congress provide for the crea tion of an army reserve. It would re quire that reserve pfflcera and enlisted men report at least once each year for drill and Instruction; It also would have to provide quarters for the reserves during such drill periods, and It Is found by officers who have been study, ing the subject that the smaller posts afford" the fK-llltlea required, without putting the Government to extra ex pense.
