THE SUPREME DUTY.
A one among the grate dotict of
the hour, looking to the rehabilitation
of the Republican party in Oregon,
the election, today, of a Republican
Senator, in succession of Mr. Fnlton
(whether the choke of the Legisla
tors shall fall to that gentleman, or
not), stands pre-eminent and most
commanding. Without the doing of
this service to state and party, we
may look for another long season of
equivocal and hurtful political op
roar in this State and the deepening
of the gulfs that hart so long sun
dered the ranks of the dominant
party, negatived its magnificent ma
jority and stultified its power for real
accomplishment at home, and at the
national capital. '
If there was bnt a meagre line of
demarcation between the parties out
here; only a faint and indeterminate
ratio of difference to, be bridged by
public conscience and public prefer
ment, there might be tome excuse
for wavering, doubting, hesitating and
even failure; but, unless Republican
inspiration, policies and propaganda
are foresworn and utterly abandoned
in Oregon, the duty of the hour is
supreme and imperative and may not
be ignored nor transcended in a single
detail
With a half hundred brilliant, able
and available men to choose from in
the ranks, why must we go to the
minority for the man? The indefinite
and disconcerting terms of a new law
upon its first trial in the State, are
sot to be relied upon as guaranty,
guide nor grace, for the final demoli
tion of a splendid party organization
and the relinquishment of a more
than splendid history of partisan ac
complishment. The hour is at hand
for the elimination of all sophistry
and clap-trap, and the application of
the fullest, straightest, honestest ex
pression of Republican principle and
power and prestige; and he who fails
at this crisis will hardly hope to figure
fas any other that bears upon the suc
cess and honor and glory of Repub
licanism in Oregon.
erous charge upon the private wealth
of the city that is bound to rankle in
the Astoria mind for many a day to
come, and with very understandable
cause. The $45,000 spent on Irving
avenue; so much of it as is absolutely
futile owing to the ungovernable
slide, and the depreciation of the ave
nue property where the slide does not
operate, oa account of the practical
inutility of the highway.
There ia likely to be some heavy
lapses in the final settlement of these
assessments, upon purely legal
grounds, and this event must serve
as a imperishable lesson to the
"fathers" of the present and the fn
hire; and to this extent, the ugly
crisis may be of inestimable value to
Astona.
THAT $135,000.
That the patient and loyal citizens
of Astoria spent $135,000 last year by
way of street, sewer and sidewalk
improvement, indicates a high range
of public spirit, even if, in some of
the enterprises, they have not receiv
ed their money's worth; and this de
sire to do something, and be some
thing, and put up a fair presentment.

the city.
This sum of money,' in addition to
the normal tax rate, which is high
enough in all conscience, is extraor
dinary, in a population; of 15,000, with
one-third of that population bearing
the stress of the money-earning and
money-getting to cover the big bills.
It speaks well for the Astoria pluck
and should be duly credited.
, There is one element of this gen-
HAS CLEARED THE WAY.
Those people who are so prone to
jump an over President ibeodore
Roosevelt may make up their minds
that the inauguration of William
Howard Taft will not bring them any
particular joy in exemption from the
force and power inherent in the
Presidential prerogative. Mr. Roose
velt has but cleared the way and set
the pace for his successor an! the
succession. He has left the impress
of bis character and conception
upon the office and the people are not
likely to forget him nor his standards
for many a year to come.
Mr. Taftf way may not be Mr.
Roosevelt's, but his aim, purpose and
act will tally, straight and strong,
with the ends and achievements
sought and wrought by the man who
is his friend and patron in the highest
sense of both words. This is a fore
gone conclusion in the American
mind today, and no one knows it
better than the men in question. Taft
may use more caution; he may don
the "velvet glove" and go at his ob
ject with softer address, but he will
get there just the same and if the
"big stick" is needed he will Vield
it with all the honest unction and
taming qualities Mr. Roosevelt ever
did.
These men have been officially inti
mate for years; their range of action,
and coalition of movement and au
thority, have made them the com
manding figures of their epoch, and
worthy the emulation that is a natu
ral result of it all. It takes men of
brains and moral strength to do what
these two men have done at home
and abroad, and each has enough of
both not to forego the courses they
have pursued, when they know that
the masses have approved and sanc
tioned creed and code as exemplified
by them both.
Whosoever thinks that the new
President is a weakling, a placator, a
dubious factor, administratively
as the lesson of his life
before- him, and he may begin his
course of enlightenment from the
very reading of Mr. Taft's inaugural.

board of directors, Clifford Pinchot,
forester, has jut made a retrospect of
the work of the United States Forest
Service for the fiscal year 1908.
For the administration of the 182
National Forests in seventeen states
and territories and Alaska the Gov
ernment spent $',3-6.093 02, or about
one and one half cents an acre. Per
manent improvements, including the
construction of 3400 miles of trails,
1000 miles of wagon roads, 3200 miles
of telephone lines, 550 cabins and
barns, 600 moles of pasture and drift
fences, 250 bridges, and 40 miles of
fire lines cost $592,169.19. Telephone
wire to build approximately 400 miles
of additional lines was shipped to the
Foresterer, but with the funds avail
able before the close of the year the
work of construction could not be
completed. Some of this work was
done on each of the Forests in the
United States.
Although many needed improve
ments could not be undertaken, the
benefits of what has been accomplish
ed are seen in the more convenient
and economical manner in which the
Forest officers are enable to carry on
their work and in the opening up to
Forest users of territory hitherto in
accessible, me remaining ijr-vi. i
40 of the total of $3,416,107.61, dis
bursed on account of work of the
Forest Service was used in forest in
vestigations costing $3355.14, and
in diffusion of forest information and
federal cooperation.
The Forest Service is one of the
branches of government where every
thing is not outgo. Last year the
receipts from sales of timber, grazing
fees, and permits for speciol uses of
forest resources amounted to $1342,
281.87, an increase of $271,222.43 over
the 1907 figures. The per acre re
ceipts from the National Forests were
little more than one cent, less than
five mills under the per cent acre cost
of administration and protection of
the forests.
The amounts paid the states and
territories, to 1e expended tor roads
and public schools from the year's
receipts, amounted to $447,063.79.
Chiefly because of increasing the re
venue to the states from 10 per cent
in 1907 to 25 percent last year, there
was a total increase of $294, 031.62 in
the amounts payable to the states.
In addition, the National Forests
yielded heavily to the public in free
use. There were ju,n permits gran
ted for the free use of timber by set
tlers, schools and churches, during
the year, ajaint 17tV9 in 1907. The
numlwr of board feet used in this way
by the public amounted to I31.5JS2.HX)
lo more than JO.W getting free ue
of timber and other resources. About
one fourth of ail the timber eat from
the National Forests wai under free-
use permits.
The purpo of this free-use privi
lege is to make the Forests contribute
most effectively to the public welfare
. a . . . .
ine uruoer given to individuals is
given for the development of the
country through settlement.
The total receipts from timber sales
each year since the National Forests
have been under the administration
been as
follows: 3903. $60.13662; 1906.$24S,
013.49; 1907, $668,813.12; 1908, $S49,
027.24.
At the end of the last fiscal year,
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year, the
1S2 National Forests were cared for
by an executive and protective force
of 29 inspectors, 98 forest supervisors,
61 deputy supervisors, 33 forest as
sistants, 8 planting assistants, 941
rangers, 521 forest guards and 68
clerks.
The average area to each officer
theoretically available for patrol duty
was 116,665 acres. But more than
three-fourths of the time of these
Forest officers is now required by the
fast-growing volume of National For
est business, so that in point of the
fact the force on duty at the close of
the year provided about one patrol
officer to each 500,000 acres of forest
This is considered inadequate for the
protection of the Forests. Until pro
vision is made for a large increase of

equivalent of 392,792,000 board feet of

30,000 individuals or concerns, in ad

Experimental broadcast sowings
were made during the year in 27 For

Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Col

total area sown was 131 acres, of
which 47 were in the Black Hills Na

About 700,000 trees were planted
last year on Forests in the States of
Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New
Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and
California. There are now growing
at the planting stations over 2,200,000
trees which will be ready for plant
ing in 1909. Sufficient seed wai sown
in the spring of 1908 to produce
4,600,000 seedlings.
Besides administering the National
Forests, the Forest Service renders,
on request, expert advice and assis

Government regarding the practice of
forestry. Work of this kind was car
ded on several military and Indian
reservations in various parts of the
country. Cooperative State forest
studies were carried on with Ken

and Illinois.,
The Forest Service conducts inves
ligations of forest products along the
two lines of wood preservation and
wood utilization. Some of these in
vestigations aim primarily to promote
better use of National Forest timbers;
others seek results either of general
application or contributing to the best
