"Only 320 feet of lumber are used,
for each 1,000 feet which stood in
the forest.
Where Wc Stand.
"Wo take from our forests each
year, not counting the loss by fire,
3 times their yearly growth.
"Our lumber cut has increased
less than 15 per cent in the last
Beven years. But the avorage price
of all kinds of lumber at the mill
has risen 49 per cent, and the rise
will continue.
"We Invite by overtaxation the
misuse of our forests. We destroy
by fire enough standing timber in
one year to last the nation for three
months. We should plant, to pro
tect farms from wind and to make
stripped or treeless lands productive,
an area larger than that of Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, and West Virginia com
bined. But so far, lands successful
ly planted to trees make a total area
smaller than Rhode Island. And year
by year, by careless cutting and by
fire, we lower the capacity of exist
ing forests to produce their like
again, or totally destroy them.
"The condition df the world sup
ply of timber makes us already de
pendent upon what we produce. We
send out of our country 1 times as
much timber as we bring in. Except
for finishing woods, relatively insig
nificant in quantity, wo must grow
our own supply, or go without.
Where Wc Might Stand.
"By reasonable thrift, wo can
produce a constant timber supply
beyond our present need, and with it
conserve the usefulness of our
streams for irrigation, water supply,
navigation, and power.
"Under right management, our
forests will yield over four times as
much as now. We can reduce waste
In tho woods and in the mill at
least one-third, with present as well
as future profit. Wo can perpetuate
tho naval stores Industry. Preserva
tive treatment will reduce by one
llfth tho quantity of timber used In
tho water or in tho ground. Wo can
practically stop forest fires at a to
tal yearly cost of one-fifth tho value
of tho btandlng timber burned each
year, not counting young growth.
"Wo shall suffer for timber to
meet our needs, until our forests
havo hnd tlmo to grow again. But
If wo net vigorously and at once, wo
shall escapo pormanent timber
scarcity.
What Must Bo Done.
"For each million acres of forest
in public ownership, over throe mil
lion nro privately owned. Tho con
servation of public forests Is tho
smaller task boforo tho nation and
tho states. Tho larger task is to In
duce private forest owners, which
means 3 million men, to take care
of what they havo, and to teach wood
users, which means every one, how
not to waste.
"If these things are done, they will
conserve our streams ns well as our
forests. If thoy nro not done, tho
usefulness of our strenms will de
crease no less than tho usofulnoss
of our forests.
"Wo must stop forest fires. By
caroful logging, wo must both roduco
waste and leave cut-over lands prod

Later Each Day Despite Excel
lent Weather and Good
Roads.
The mall service from Roseburg
to Coos Bay Is rapidly growing
worse, being a few hours later each
day despite the excellent weather
that has been prevailing and the
fairly good roads between here and
Roseburg. At 2:30 this afternoon,
the mall had not reached here and
Postmaster Curtis had not been ap
prised of when he might expect It.
It has been late for several days In
succession now. The first day, the
driver claimed a wheel on the wag
on broke, another day the wagon
tongue broke and what happened to
day is only a matter of conjecture.
Some time ago, a mail route in
spector was here and announced that
Coos Bay would have much better
mail service than In the past, the car
rying company having secured better
horses and equipment. Whether he
was misled, patrons of the local post
offices are now wondering.
A year ago now, Coos Bay was in
tho heighth of the rainy season and
there was an excuse for the mall be
ing late. Evidently the carrier has
been comparing his record with a
year ago and forgetting the differ
ences in weather conditions Is trying
to livo up to his old schedule.
RECEPTION IN

LOVED TWO; AVEDS BOTH.
Widow Obeys Dying Husband's Last
Request.
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Dec. 8.
News was received here of the mar
riage of Mrs. Nellie Oppdenhoof of
this city to Charles Oppdenhoof of
St. Louis after she had traveled 2000
miles to become the bride of her
brother-in-law at the behest of her
dying husband, William Oppenhoof.
The brothers, Charles and William,
were rivals for her hand and though
sho chose William she and Charles
always retained a strong affection for
one another. Of this feeling William
was fully cognizant, but he was never
jealous of his brother, and last
spring, on his deathbed, enjoined
upon them that they marry ns soon
after his demise as seemed fitting.

"Wo must continue and perfect,
by state and nation, the preservation
by uso of forests already publicly
owned; and wo must extend It to
other mountain forests more valu
able for the permnnent benefit of the
many than for tho temporary profit
of a few."
After a general discussion of tho
report ,the governors of several
states pledged themselves to cooper
ate wth the federal government in
any practicable schemo for tho con
servation of tho national forests.
Opening of Marshfleld's New
Structure In January to Be
Properly Celebrated.
The Marshfield school board and
Superintendent F. E. Golden are'
making preliminary plans for a gen
eral celebration of Marshfleld's new
?50,000 high school building about
January 15. The new school which
is declared to be one of the most
complete and up-to-date in the coun
try is rapidly nearlng completion and
It is hoped to have eveyrthing install
ed so that it will be ready for occu
pancy by the middle of next month.
While it has not been definitely
settled, it is proposed to have a short
program in the afternoon or even
ing followed by a general reception
Bnd musical program by an orches
tra. There will probably ,be a few
brief talks by Superintendent Golden,
members of the board and others who
have been closely identified with the
development of tho Marshfield pub
lic schools.
The entire building will be thrown
open, appropriately decorated and
lighted so that every one will have
ample opportunity to inspect the
handsome new edifice and rejoice
over It.
New Chandler Hotel.
As near as can be stated now, the
new $75,000 Chandler hotel will be
completed and ready for business on
or about February 1. Manager La
Chance is making all his plans for
that date. The formal opening of
tho hotel will undoubtedly be made
the occasion for a general celebra
tion and expression of elation over
the securing of one of Marshfleld's
long felt wants adequate hotel
facilities. The now strucutre will be
one of the most modern, completely
fitted and handsomest structures in
the west.

George N. Farrin, For Local Redmcn
Under Whoso Allspices Play Will
Be Produced, Outlines Story and
Urges Big Attendance at Best
Home Talent Production
Ever Seen Here.
Tomorrow, Friday, December 11, is
the day for the Redmen's big produc
tion of "Uncle Josh" to bo given at
the Masonic Opera House. This is
an old favorite, and Is handled by
performers who are residents and
members of Koos Tribe No. 33 and
Sacajawea Council No. 9.
This play deals with a typical Ver
mont farmer who comes to New
York the first time in fifteen years;
visits his widowed sister and niece.
The usual plot to bunco him, and his
schrewdness in handling same is
brought out without the usual horse
Play.
The villain overhearing a conversa
tion, uses the information thus ob
tained to benefit himself at tho ex
pense of others, which plot Is nip
ped in the bud by the wide-awake
Yankee.
The usual love scenes and bright
sparkling comedy is intermingled
with the plot to relieve the Intensity,
and is handled by the comedians of
unusual ability.
The people have been working
hard rehearsing for this performance
tho last two weeks under tho direc
tion of G. H. Westlake, who has
produced several amateur perfor
mances in the northwest, and also
has been engaged with several thea
trical companies. He promises
first class entertainment, ("freat at- 1
tention being paid to the s age set
tings, and details in ccstumes and
make up.
Although this performnnca has one
of the largest range of c'laracter ob
tainable, French, Irish, dirUey, Eng
lishmen, old maid, being outside tho
usual straits, and is an unusually
hard play for amateurs, the handling
of which reflects great credit upon
the performers.
Other Important features will be:
A warm house, full orchestra, pro
gramme, which are not generally
seen here.
There will be specialties between
the acts. Mesdemoiselles LeMns and
Llzette will give a character dance
between the second and third acts,
and the famous Orpheum quartette
will sing a few selections between
the third ,and fourth acts.
Everybody turn out. Give a rous
ing welcome to our citizens, and
everyone will go away satisfied.
