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.

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.

hotel clerk at the leading hostelry of

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

better lead 'em off with an item about

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

POSTS TO BE SAVED
Army Reserve, if Created, Re
quires Facilities.
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. McAdoo Rays Summer Home.

praise of the an lles;n Kipojlllon and
of the treatment they received there.
They were several days at tan Kran

mense that in a few days they could
see but little of It- They stopped off
at I'ortlsnd merely for a day's rest, hav

ever, they took an auto and made a tour
of the business and residence sections,
then out over the Columbia Hlprhway,
and were so well Impressed that they
both agreed they would always remem

From here they go to HanfT. H. t,

mostly tn fly-casting- thereabouts for
the speckled beauties. Thro by easy
stages, stopping- at various cities, they
will wend their way homeward, expecting-
