ROUNDABOUT NEWS.
There is nothing fair in forcing a
decent and reliable newspaper to "go
away from home to get news for its
own columns; but it is, invariably, the
policy of transportation companies
and large concerns, in a place like
this; it is poor policy and a deliberate
injustice to the local press.
The destruction of 1,000 feet of new
Ilwaco Railroad extention is a case in
point Bat it does not remain with the
Astoria representatives of that con
cern to be the only offending people;
nearly every other concern of
any importance in the city follows the
fool rule and permits the mutual in
justice to repeat itself times without
number.
The home paper is entitled to
first consideration as the nearest and
most friendly exponent of the news,
but the company having the news takes
precedence as the source of that news
and is treated with consideration in
the detail And that is the one es
sential they are particular about.
They send the intelligence a hun
dred or more miles away to headquar
ters, and allow it to reach the press
there in garbled and indiscriminate
fashion, whereas the local paper, fami
lar with the conditions, would give a
far more reliable report of it, and 99
times out of a hundred, in just the
shape the company at interest desires
it to be put out It is more than an
injustice, this policy; it is a business
mistake and a flagrant one.
once for all, not only in perfect justi
fication of Oregon interest in the
great issue, but in defense of those
commonwealths that are going up
against similar atrocities.
There is no earthly sense of per
mitting the flush ot disappointment
and chagrin to lead our people into
worse confusion than they are already
confronted with, when they have a
medium for full and final settlement
that will serve the country as well as
themselves. Have a care, Gentlemen)
WHEN CHARITY FAILS.
A sailor, a stranger in the port, is
paid off here with the rather hand
some sum of $S00. He comes ashore
and spends the last dollar of that
money in sheer and low dissipation,
and his last condition finds him in
pitiable, but perfectly natural, ex
hausted and helpless slavery to a foul
and remorseless malady; an object of
charity, a charge on the community,
that has' not a scintilla of sympathy or
respect or condonation for him; but
the money and care and sustenance
must be forthcoming, all the same!
It is hard to say which is the most
susceptible of blame, the miserable,
besotted victim or ' the community
that has no rational precautions
against such extremities as this. Ex
tremes meet in such cases as this, and
the sum of credit is infinitesmal when
tbe moral and ethical balances are
struck.

T
ENORMOUS WORK IS CARRIED
ON BY THE FORESTRY
' DEPARTMENT.
AGAINST MORE BLUNDERING.
There is a group of Legislators up
at Salem, just now, whose sole and in
veterate purpose is to enact remedial
legislation as against the Direct Pri
mary law of the State, and they are
going at it "tooth and toe-nail," and
we opin, without giving the matter
the due consideration that it is entitl
ed to. Unless exceeding care is used
there will be some irradicable blund
ering and the indiscriminate remedies
wiIl fCJter more trouble than the ori
ginal evil.
In the first place it may be well to
determine just what right the Legis
lature has to make a law in amend'
ment or derogation of a law set up
by the people; whether the matter
must not come back to the voters, and
whether having come back to them
they will be in the humor to accept
the remedy.
We believe the better and sounder
recourse would be to take the whole
issue of the Senatorial status directly
to the Federal Senate or the Supreme
Court of the United States upon con
stitutional grounds, and have it settled
not
by
EDITORIAL WING-SHOTS.
We trust that Congress will
stultify itself and tbe nation
passing Foraker's bill to re-enlist and
re-instate the negro ruffians of the
Brownsville tragedy. The defeat of
that bill will easily round out the limit
of the Ohio" Senator's broken career
and do it "oil" right 1
We hope before New Year's Day,

to this year with more than ordinary

WASHINGTON', Jan. 21. Listing
receipts and expenditures and explai
ning them in plain English much as a
railroad president reports to his board
of directors, Gifford Pinchot, forester,
has just made retrospect of the work
of the United States Forest Service
for the fiscal year 1908.
For the administration and protect
ion of the 182 National Forests insev
enteen states and territories and Al
aska the Government spent $2,526,098.
02, or about one one-hatf cents an
acre. Permanent improvements, in
cluding the construction of 3,400 miles
of trails, 100 miles of wagon roads,
3,200 miles of telephone lines, 550 ca
bins and barns, 600 miles of pasture
and drift fences, 250 bridges, and 40
miles of fire lines cost $592,169.19.
Telephone wire to build approximate
ly 400 miles of additional lines was
shipped to the Forests, but with the
funds available 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 enabled to carry
on their work and in the opening up
to Forest users of territory hitherto
inaccessible. The remaining $297,
840.40 of the total of $3,461,107.61.
disbursed on account of work of the
Forest Service was used in forest in
vestigations costing $235,855.14, and
in diffusion of forest information and
federal cooperation.
The Forest Service is one of the
branches of the government where
everything is not outgo. Last year
the receipt's from sales of timber.
grazing fees, and permits for special
uses of forest resources amounted to
$1,84281.87, an increase of $271,222.43
over the 1907 figures,.. Th pr
receipts from the National Forests
were a little more than one cent, less
than five mills under the per acre cost
of administration and protection of
the forests.
-The amounts paid the states and
territories, to be expended for roads
and public schools from the year's re
ceipts, amounted to $447,063.79 Chief
ly because of increasing the revenue
to the states from 10 per cent in 1907
to 25 per cent 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 30.714 nermiti crant-
ed for the free use of timber by set
tiers, schools and churches, during
the year, against 17,399 in 1907. The
number of board feet used in this way
by the public amounted to 131,582.000,
valued at $168,720.00, compared to
63,000.00 feet, valued at $75,000 in!907.
The aggregate of free use of the
Forests for grazing can not be exactly
known, since no permit is required to
be taken out, and there is therefore no
record preserved. It added perhaps
10 percent to the amount of stock car
ried by Forests. Settlers living on or
adjacent to the Forests, and prospect
ors, campers, and travelers in them
are allowed to graze free up to 10
head of milk cows, work animals, or
horses in use, and purchasers of tim
ber and stockmen on the Forests are
given the same privilege for the hors
es needed in their work. In Arizona
and New Mexico milk goats to the
number of 30 may be grazed free in
place of milk cows.
Of free special use permits there
were issued during the year 1,768, as
against a total of 1,471 previously
granted. Of the latter 963 were in
force during the year.
The grazing receipts for 1903 were
$982,29.40, and cattle, horses and hogs,
and of 4,282 permits to graze 7,087,111
sheep and goats. Receipts of $849,
027.24 from timber sales were paid by
approximately 5,189 purchasers, who
cut the equivalent of 392,792,000 board
feet of timber. The receipts from
special uses amounted to $30,425.23
and were paid by 2,065 permittees.
The year's receipts represent profit
able use of the Forests by some 30,000
individuals or concerns, in addition to
more than 30,000 getting free use of
timber and other resources. About
one-fourth of all the timber cut from
the National Forests was under free
use permits.
The purpose of tin's use privilege is
to make the Forests contribute most
effectively to the public welfare. The
timber given to individuals i 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
of the Forest Service havet been as
follows: 1905, $60,136.62; 1906.
$245,013.49; 1907, $668,813.12; 1908.
$849,027.24.
At the end of the last fiscal year,
when business was heavier than at
any other time during the year, the
1S2 V:,ti,,n!i
by an executive and protective force
of 29 inspectors, 9 forest supervisors,
61 deputy supervisors, 33 forest assis
tants, 8 planting assistants, 941 rang
ers, 521 forest guards and 88 clerks.
The average acre to each officer
theoretically available for patrol duty
was 116,665 acres. But more than
three-fourths of the time of these For
est officers is now required by the
fast-growing volume of National For
est business, so that in point of 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 protect
ion of the Forests. Until provision
is made for a large increase of force it
is necessary either to curtail the busi
ness arising from use of the Forests
or neglect the proper safeguarding of
Government property against fire.
Experimental broadcast sowing)
were made during the year in 27 For
ests, in the States of Idaho, Montana,
Washington, Oregon, Wyoming, Colo
rado, Utah, and New Mexico. The
total area sown was 131 acres, of
which 47 were in the Black Hills Na
tional Forest
About 700,000 trees were planted
last year in forests in the State 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 planting
in 1909. , Sufficient seed was 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 assist
ance to other parts of the Executive
Government regarding the practice
of forestry Work of this kind was
carried on several military and Indian
reservations in various parts of the
country,j5ooperativeState.Jorest
studies were carried on with Ken
tucky, Mississippi New Hampshire,
and Illinois.
The Forest Service conducts inves
tigations of forest product! 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
use of the forests of some special
region, i

CATARRH CURED
No Cure, No Pay, It a Moat Generous
Offer.
To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs, and not destroy
the tissues of the membrane at the
same time, has been a problem which
was never solved until the discovery
of Hyomei (pronouncer High-o-me)
Hyomei is prepared from eucalyp
tus, the most powerful yet healing
antiseptic known. Breathe it through
the inhaler over the inflamed and
germ-ridden membrane four or .five
times a day, and in a few days the
germs will disappear.
The inflamed condition will go.
too, and the snuffling, hawking and
offensive breath, and the discharge of
mucous and crusts in the nose will
cease.
Then why should any catarrh suf
ferer hesitate, when T. F. Laurin has
such faith in Hyomei that he offers
to return your money if after a fair
trial Hyomei does not cure catarrh.
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ
ing the inhaler, costs $1.00, and extra
bottles, if afterwards needed, cost but
50 cents. Hyomei also cures asthma,
croup, sore throat, colds or grip.
NEW PRESIDENT,
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Harlow Hig-J
ginbotham, for years the president of
the Board of Trustees of the Field
Museum of Natural History has been
retired from that office.
Stanley Field, nephew of Marshall
Field, who founded the museum and
in his will left a bequest of eight mil-
ion dollars for the housing of the in
stitution was elected in Mr. Higgin
botham's place, Rumors of dissen
sion among the trustees are rife, but
are denied. The election took place
some days ago, but the fact was con
cealed. It was given out that the re
tirement of Higginbotham was due to
a desire to have young blood at the
head of ks affairs.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2!.-To save the
crops, wood and waters of Americans
by preserving the birds, without
whose aervice few growing things
will survive on the continent, it the
object of a special campaign that was
begun in thii city. At the request of
the leaders of this movement at Wash
ington, the National Association of
Audubon Societies, has enlisted in the
general conservation crusade, with all
iti working forces that have for years
labored to this end. Ai a first step
to show the rapid decline in the feath
ered resources of the nation census
of the game and forest birds of the en
tire country has to-day been project
ed by the association.
Five of the leading orinthotiglatt
and workers in the Audubon associa
tion were to-day selected as a commit
tee to represent the important inter
ests of bird protection in cooperation
with the other elementt in the nation
al conservation! organization. With
William Dutcher, president of the Na
tional Association of Audubon Socie
ties, there will serve on this committee
Edward Howe Forbush who is in
charge of the association's New Eng
land department, T. Cilbert Pearson,
the head of its offices in the South,
Frank M. Chapman, a leader in Audu
bon field work and Dr. T. S. Palmer
who is prominent in the government
Biologicat Survey, the Department of
Agriculture is well as an' active mem
ber of the Association. With the as
sistance of the authorities at Wash
ington this committee hopes to soon
be ready to show the people of the'
United States some striking evidences
of the effect of bird butchery upon
their chief resources.
To take a complete census of the
game and forest birds over every
square mile of every section of this
country is regarded here as one of the
hardest tasks which the Audubon wor
ker have ever undertaken in their
hrng hfotvry lalntf ! penm tli
national bird life. Thousands of de
tailed question blanks are to be lent
to representative and friend of the
association the country over, a well
a to every known warden, orintholo
gist and official who is in touch with
local condition. On the expert ob
servations of th's small army of bird
lovers and expert a comparative cen
sus will show an appalling decrease
in nature's feathered forces that in
sure life to all crops and tree.
Forest fires such as devastated the
country this fall were declared to-day
by the Audubon authorities in this
city to be responsible for wholesale
destruction to America's bird races,
For every tree consumed by the flam
es, homes were lost to breeding birds
they declared, while millions of the
migratory flock perished because of
the conflagration. It is known that
whole regiments of the smaller spec
ies have in many cases been confused
and lost in the smoke clouds of the
burning regions.
'When we have proven in this way
the tremendous and growing destruc
tion of bird life which is now serious
ly threatening the crops and general
material welfare of every American,
we believe the whole country will
come to support our work," said Wil
liam Dutcher, president of the Na
tional Association of Audubon Socie
ties at its headquarters, 141 Broadway,
to-day. "It is high time that the
people of this country were made to
realize the prime economic import
ance of our efforts to protect 'he na
tion's bird resources. This I feel sure
the proposed census will accomplish.
Beyond the share in the conversation
movement which we have undertaken,
we shall continue to push our other
essential lines of work just as far as
the very necessary help of patriotic
citizens will permit."
