tohave succumbed prematurely to the
dullness of summer, and no news of

day in extraordinary session. The re
cent arrest of the adjutant general of

aroused the people to a keen pitch, and
a legislative Investigation is demanded

are engaged In the controversy and a
bitter fight is In prospect.
A skirmish over the prohibition law
Is: expected In the Georgia legislature.
. WBlcn will assemble for Its regular ses-

satisfactory as was expected, but any
effort to change it. eith er one vnv m
the other, will, it is assured, provoke a
bitter struggle.

nent parts in the celebration of the
Darwin Centenary, which Is to begin at
Cambridge university, Tuesday. Two
other events abroad in which the United
States will be officially represented,
are the international conference of

In. this connection it is interesting to
note mat tne u. a. smitn limDer com
pany of Minneapolis Is working in har
mony with the Conservation associ
tion, as is shown by Mr. Smith In a
letter written to the officers of the as
sociatlon. In this letter Mr. Smith,
discussing the Oregon holdings of tho
company says:
"In any case we want he public
spirted citizens or tne state or urego.i
to know that we are heartily with you
in the conservation movement. We have
milis at Marshfield. Oregon, and Bav
Point, California, although our head of
fice is still located here at Minneapolis
We personally hold about 300.000 acres
Of timber land in your state and nearly
the same amount In other states. Our
first western manufacturing plant, how
ever, was at Marshfield, and therefore
we are more actively engaged in thli
business in Oregon -than in any other
state with the exception of Minnesota.
Our timber will all be cut here within
the next two years, and after that time
III ef our energies will be centered on
the Pacific coast
.In discussing the conservation of tim
br. Mr. Smith says:
"We have, however, for yei.rs been
advocates of the principle of refores
tation and resolved on beginning our
operations in Oregon to carry out tu-
ideals we had set for ourselves. We
havo studied the matter thoroughly;
are conversant with the efforts in this
direction in this country; krow from
personal observation what Dr. 8chen:k
ha done at Biltmore. North Carolina,
in this line; what the state of New York
ts doing in the Adirondacks and what thtt
states or Massachusetts ana pennsyi
van la are doing within their boundaries
on a small scale. We know of many
BDoradlc attemDts for reforestations un 1
ertaken by lumbermen. We know t-f
none who have continued 'either for
lack of enthusiasm or lackfof compi
tent advice on the sub;eet. However, we
feel that we are competent to undertake
this matter and to that end we h4d
he Unite! States government look over
our Coos, Curry and Douglas county
holdings last year. They advised js
that reforestation of our cut-over lan is
was perfectly practicable in that ter
ritory.
Believes -In Vigorous Campaign.
Mr. Smith believes that the work
should be pushed vigorously In Oregon
and in treating of this phase of the
subiect hi says in his letter:
"Now, to get to your letter. W.
believe that everything possible should
be done to save tne rorests, not oni,
of the state of Oregon, but of the coun
try as a whole. This -does not mean to
keep the timber from being manufac
tured. ' but means that new growto
should be established as fast, as the
old growth has been cut and removed
from the land, assuring a continuation
of our magnificent timber woods.
"As a matter of fact it will be neces
sary along the coast to burn over thi
land before replanting can be don
now. on account of the luxuriant growth
of salal and alder, which cover the coat
cour.try to such en extent that all llht
ts shut out and the germination of seeds
of the fir idu other trees prevented. We
shall burn there coast cuttings over
and then set out new trees. Further
back toward the mountains this growth
Of underbiush is not so thick ard there
we shall use a natural metnoa or re
forestation, leaving mature trees to rur
niah the seed for the new -owth."

DEEP WATERWAY
HUES TO GULF
Engineer's Report on $158,
000,000 Project Will En
courage Federal Action.
(Special Dlipttota to-Tb Journal.)
Chicago. June 19. Efforts for the
Lakea-to-the-Oulf deep waterway were
given great stimulus by the failure of
the army engineers to report to congress
that the deep channel was Impracticable
as had been feared because of the known
prejudices of the military engineers.
With tha matter of cost, estimated at
1168,000.000, the only grealTiugbear in
the offlcal records, active efforts will
be renewed by the deep waterway firgan
izatlons to get congressional action to
enable the great task to begin.
"It win be a magnificent Investment
for the country," said K. 8. Conway,
chairman of the deep waterway com
mittee of the: Chicago association- of
Commerce and the first president of
the Lakes-to-tn-Gulr. Deep Waterway
association. 'The only trAubie i that
the public seems to fear a direct tax.
The amount the engineer ijfleclara will.
" '" . ' V.'-1, ; ' - r 'r
be needed to construct the ship canal
seems large when the thought of direct
taxation comes fhto a person's mlndbut
if the Wople of America stopped to
think that S2?0,000,000 were paid to
railroads as an indirect tax each year,
the United States would realise how
beneficial the canal would be.
More Traffic Than Xailroads.
"Now, when the canal Is finished, the
waterway will handle more traffic than
40 railroads possibly can and at a much
cheaper rate, and the federal engineers
say the annual cost will not amount to
over $7,000,000,
"Why, the cost Is practically noth
ing only J15S.000.000. Now, we hav
230,000 miles of railroads In the United
States for which the publio has paid
In Indirect taxes, for the annual main
tenance $1000 a mile, or 1230.000.000.
Every cent paid out by railroads to
better tbeir equipment and right of way
Is paid for by the people of America
In tha higher cost of food and other
necessities. The Pennsylvania railroad
spent $200,000,000 during the past four
years In improving its roadbed between
Chicago and New York and during the
same period- of time the Harrlman lines
have expended $800,000,000 for imple
ments. Mow, can any one complain about
a national expenditure of only $161,
000,000 which will give us the greatest
Inland waterway system In the worlg.
Profit ITo Considered. ' :
'Chlef Engrneer Marshall says the
canal will i not prove profitable. Now,
what does an engineer know about
transportation or commercial problems?
Do not business men and traffic man-M
agers of big corporations and mercantile
house know , more about the aUvm
tags to be derived by a hew system
of transportation than, an engineer
whose only training; is in construction
workt
"Business men and traffic manager
are Interested In the ' construction of
the deiep waterway and all assent that
the building of such a canal will be
of great benefit to the ' people of the
country, and especially to the people of
me siaies Doraenng on tne Mississippi
river." - '

Congressmen from the Mississippi
valley, those taking a leading part in
the projected deep watery way from the
lakes to the gulf, are willing to abide
by the recommondatlon of the engin

Insist that congress must determine the
commercial feasibility of the waterway
Improvements. They predict that con

"The report In the finding that the
project is practicable lsVhat I have
expected." said Senator William Lori
mer, who has been the foremost of ad
vocates of th deep waterway. In my
opinion the commercial importance -of
the proposed deeD channel will warrant
congress expending upon it $100 for
