Mooiv. 011 consideration of th lelutionn between forests, rain fa' 1. 11 to Is uii'l drouths, is espec ially worth attention in Oregon We believe the observutio and conclusions essential!) sound. The rainfall is not (by product in any material, orevei. perceptible, degree of the forests, ut the forests are produced b the rainfall. West of the Cas cade Range, where the rain ol the valleys is abundant and much snow falls 011 I Iim bighei altitudes, the timber is alsi anundant. East of this range. where there is very little rain fall, theie is no timber; but whet' we reach the Blue Mountains there is precipitation again: timber grows on the height where there is heavy snowfall, and ou the western foothills o the mountains, where there i. considerable rainfall, the laud is fertile and produces great crops. The same quantity ol rain that falls in the valleys ot Western Oregon, falling in ih district between the Casc-ide Range and the Blue Mountain. and east of the Blue Mountain-, would soon transform that whole region, and produce abundant growth of timber all over it. Precipitation in the Pacific States is governed mainlj' b .ocean winds and the height and trend of our mountain ranges; in .our North Pacific States almot wholly so. There is much talk .about climatic changes; butthex .are not appreciable nor can be .except during very long p riods. The streams of Western Oregon .do not rise higher than formerl) ; indeed the highest rise evej known in them was about fifty years ago. Removal of timbei Las made no difference in the Amount of rainfall or the rapid ity of the run-oft'. Timber must be used by man, or it is worth nothing. In West rn Oregon and Western Washington we are not yet done with destruc tion of timber to getit out of the way, so that food may be pro duced; nor shall, we be yet for many years. Wanton and use less destruction of timber un doubtedly should be avoided; bnt when one owns the land he lias a right to judge how he should use his own. A great deal of matter is put in short space and concrete form in this statement by the Chief of the Weather Bureau. It is worth close examination. ACTIVE WARFARE CEASES No regret will be lelt over cessation of hostilities between the Hill and the Harriman forces now rushing work on the Cen tral Oregon lines. Competition of the kind that has been in evi dence since the warfare began, about six months ago, is always expensive, and in the end the public pays the bills. The re ported truce hae apparently been declared without in any way affecting or retarding early completion.of both roads. The public is thus assured of a healthy natural competition after the lines shall be complet qd, and it will at the same lime be relieved of the extra burden of expense that a prolonged struggle between the two com panies would have entailed. tH the nouey wasted on unneces sary .construction work, while lighting for strai.egi.c points, be comes a parjt of the jcosft of tlw road, and a fixed charge lie against it until the end nf jtime. The public is seldom, if ever, taken into the confidence of the neu who formulate and enforce the railroad pnliciet of the coun try, but it swems probable thai tiie hostili'ies in the Desohute vere abandoned for the same reason that the proposed con amotion of a second line lo PugHt Sound ffiw supplanted hv a trackage agreem-Mit over fin line nlread constructed The competing foices in both iWouu iwiumim hud shOA'ii a d termination to reach their re spective goals, regardless of cost; and, once Laving reached them, all the money spent in obslrue nve tactics' w .md have been vvasted. The ra'lroads accord wigly accepted the inevitable vith as good a glare as possible, uid undoubtedly saved a 1111111 ner of millions of dollars in each case. With this cessation of i .stilities between the rival forces in t ie Desehuies, much less difficulty should be encount -ted in securing ihe prompt ap proval by the CJoverniient of the location maps not already passed upon. Any ruling of the Govern lent that would tend to retard he construction of these roads through the Deschutes Canyon would injure thousands of Set-lei- without offering any count r advantages. The adverse criticism which has been heap ed ou Secretary Ballinger by f 1 1 h uuilormect mucKruKers should not and probably will iot influence him in doing what s tight hy the people ot Oregon hi loisteiiiiicr the orjening of the greal Ceiilial Oregon empire.
