FORESTRY CEN 90 PER T: LUMBERING DECLARES EXPERT Dr. Schenck Gives View- 50 Students Here En Route to Coos Bay to Study Lumber ing Industry. "There 1 a mistaken idea In America that a contrast exists between forestry and lumbering. Forestry Is 90 per cent lumbering and 10 per cent, well you may call It, scle.ice." This Is the way Dr. C. A. Schenck, of the School of Forestry, Blltmore, N. C, explained last night the relationship be tween forestry' and lumbering. In hli opinion lumbering Is the greater part of forestry. Dr. Schenck is here with a class of 60 students, young men who are to some day engage in the manufacture and sale of lumber. Many cf them will probably be owners of large tracts of timber. And Dr. Schenck' theory is that to become successful in their chosen line they should know the business from the very foundation. WW Study Industry. The party headed by Dr. Schenck ar rived here Thursday evening to go to Coos Bay to establish a permanent camp on land belonging to the C. A, Smith Lumber company and the students will remain about two months studying the growth of the trees and the methods employed In manufacturing and mar ketlng the material. In other words, ;. they are to follow the tree from the time it Is felled till It Is the finished product of the mill. "We have two permanent camps in the states, one at Blltmore and another In Michigan, and now we are to add on on the Pacific, coast, at Coos Bay. This will give us three in the states and one In Germany. Each year a claBS will visit these camps and study for estry, which means lumbering, In the minutest details. It will give the stu dents a broad understanding of con ditions and methods as they are em ployed in the different localities. "I must confess that I was surprised to find suoh wonderful timber in Ore gon," Dr. Schenck continued, "and still more wonderful the human Ingenuity la handling these trees. The forests out here are finer than I ever dared dream, although I have feen pictures and read detailed descriptions of your forests. A person tan never realize what large trees are until he sees them with his own eyes. Effect of OanaL "We have visited a number of eaw mllls during our brief stay in the city and it was wi'h astonishment we watched how easily these Immense logs are handled." Dr. Schenck believes Oregon and tna Pacific northwest will be the great lum ber supplying district after the opening of the Panama canal. "The south has bodies of pine that will last a long time to come, but with the opening of the Panama canal fir from the Pacific northwest will Invade the pine market because the lumber is far superior. Consumers will prefer fir to pine, especially since much of the pine now being cut is second growth." Dr. Schenck has traveled extensively, yet he believes Portland one of the most beautiful cities he has ever seen. Es pecially Impressive he considers the fact the Burroundlnga have not been spoiled before the marcn of progress. Henry S. Graves Explains Theory of Public Control of Private Forests Chief Forester Bases His Argument on Roose velt's Conservation Theories (Washington Bureau ft Tha Journal.) Washington, Aug. IS. The recent ad dress at Bretton Woods, N. H., by Chief Forester Henry S. Graves was based up on the theory Of publlo control of pri vately owned forests, when necessary, that was first enunciated in this coun try by President Koosevelt, May 13, 190S, at the conference of governors, held In the east room of the White House. It was the time when the great conservation policy of Roosevelt found national, scope and was placed upon a broad national foundation. Forestry," said Mr. Graves, "Is a national necessity. It is fundamentally a public problem. Forests as handled by most private owners continually de cline in productiveness. , It Is a matter of history that, no country has solved its forestry problem except through the direct or Indirect action of the govern ment. "The public forests constitute the foundation or nucleus for the develop ment of forestry in every country. Those countries with little or no public for-' ests are so far failing In their forestry work. The present areas of public forests are in all cases what was left when the policy of disposing of them to private owners ceased. AH countries which have adopted a national policy of forestry are trying to increase the publlo holdings, not to decrease them. "It has been the policy to dispose of the public lands tn the United States as rapidly as possible in order to en courage the development of the coun try. The wisdom of a liberal policy as applied to agricultural lands has been proved by the rapidity with which our country has been settled. Unfor tunately, the early legislators did not display the same foresight with respect to forest lands as they did with agri cultural lands. A new principle has been Introduced in our public land policy, namely, that there are certain classes of land whose management vitally af fects the public Interest and which can not be mismanaged without grave dan ger of direct Injury .to the public. Purpose of National Forests. "When our national forests were first established there was a great deal of opposition, because it was believed that they wexe to be closed to use and de velopment. Their purpose is not to prevent use, but to prevent waste. It Is astonishing' how rapidly the people using the national forests have come to see the public benefits of forest pro tection and forestry, and in most re gions the opposition is being replaced by approval of the government's policy. There is nevertheless still a very pow erful opposition to national forestry and to the forest service. There are still many who would see the national forests entirely abolished and the old regime of unregulated exploitation of the nation's resources reestablished. The national fqrest policy has received a great impulse through the passage of the Appalachian and White Mountain bill by congress. "Forestry In this country will not be entirely solved merely by public ownership. The public, which has so great an interest in bringing about the practice of forestry, may contribute to help the private owner in overcoming ft - -V v M If ?Tt'httY; II v -'it WM NEW SCHOOL LAW EXPLAINED: TO BE OF MUCH V A L LI E Senator Miller Says Good Roads and Good Schools Go Together; Says Law Will Aid Rural School. Explanation of the purposes and breadth of the school law paused by the last legislature was given yesterday by State Senator M. A. Miller of Linn coun ty, chairman of the senate committee on education. "This law will help In training chil dren in practical usefulness," said Sen ator Miller. "It will act in getting the men and women of tomorrow ready for successful life work. It will help keep the boys and girls on the farm by Inter esting them intelligently in the really fascinating methods of systematic, sci entific development. The operation of the bill Is vitally linked with the better highways campaign. , "The good roads movement lias be come a national question, and It is be ing agitated and talked nbout in every state in the Union. It Is at the present time the foremost question in Oregon,' being discussed more than any other question. Good roads will do more for Oregon than anything else. Good roads and good schools go together. Good roads will solve, to a very great extent, the school question. "Good social life in the rural dis tricts will make It more Inviting for the young man and woman to remain on the farm, and good roads make social life possible. "Nothing will contribute more to the general welfare of the country than good reads. Nothing will more directly benefit the, farmer than good roads. Nothing will make country life more generally desirable." Substance of Bill. The bill is, in substance, as follows: "There Is hereby created in every County of the; state of Oregon contain ing more than sixty school districts, a county educational board, consisting of che county school superintendent who shall be ex-officio chairman of the board and four members appointed by the county school superintendent. The county school superintendent of each county havfng more than sixty school districts shall appoint on or before June 1, 1911, and every four years there after, four persons to act as members of the county educational board who shall serve for four years or until their successors have qualified. They shall receive no compensation for any services as members of the county edu cational board; provided, however, that the necessary traveling expenses of each member Incurred In the discharge of his duties shall be audited and paid the states and the government.'

Signs that the golden ship was about to strike a rocky shore were afforded yesterday by the resignation of Senator Ballcy from the commission, and today by telegraph of the resignation of ex Senator Flint, appointed when he left the senate last March. Secretary of State Knox went out a month or two ago, and Senator Penrose was appointed as his successor. "Km Beans" Hang On. Originally the commission was com posed of senators and representatives. It the present time not a senator in the first lot appointed is on the com mission. Six who have passed from official life, however, hang on and are eligible for the salaries of 17600 a year.

The reduc tion of Uie fire risk removes the great est obstacle in the way of forestry. The second Inducement for private forestry is the Introduction of a fair system for the taxation of growing timber. Conditions Obtaining la Europe. "Only about 12 per cent of the forests of France are actually In government ownership, and yet forestry has there reached a very high state of develop ment because all forests ar practically under the direct control of the state. In Germany, the state owns about 40 per cent of the forests, but fully 66 per cent of the total forest area Is under public control. In Austria-Hungary, France, Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, and Denmark, practically all the private forests are under state supervision. "I believe the time has passed when a private individual can handle his prop erty in such a way as to subject his neighbors to the danger of great loss and the. general public to serious dam age.

To deviate his entire time to super vising tho schools In the supervisory district for which he Is employed, when ever any of the schools In his district are In session. '3. To enforce the course of study prescribed by the state board of educa tion." Oregon, Wot Behind. "Tha purpose of this law Is to in crease the efficiency of the rural school and to bring it up to a higher standard, to create more enthusiasm In thit school work and more unity and uniformity of method In the rural schools," continued Senator Miller. I am glad to say tliat Oregon ktpK abreast In school matters and has as good school laws, If not better, than any other state In the union. I pre dict that this law will prove of more value and benefit to the rural school than any other law passed In recent years by the Oregon legislature. "The operation of this law will have the Inevitable effect of fostering and promoting not only better schools but their Inseparable companions better roads and higher social standards in rural districts. Hence its great value as an Oregon development factor." ACTION ON TREATIES WILL BE DELAYED UNTIL NEXT WINTER (United Treu Leased Wire.) Washington, Aug. 12. Prospects were strong tonight that the action of the senate committee on foreign rela tions In amending the arbitration treat ies with Great Britain and France, will delay action in those projects of the administration until next winter. The amendment strikes out the par agraph In the treaties giving the high Joint commission authority to - decide whether differences between the two countries should be referred to Tho Hague tribunal. That is now a right of the senate and the statesmen seemed Rtfongly disposed to retain It. President Taft, it was said, rather than have the treaties ratified as amended, prefers that they be laid aside until nct session and In the meantime he will use his Influence to have the paragraph killed. In the executive session of the sen ate today "a proposal to have the de bate on the treaties In open session was tentatively discussed. This would be an unprecedented departure. SEN. BORAH DEFENDS HIS MOTION TO AMEND ARBITRATION TREATIES ( Washington Bureau of Tb Journal.) Washington, Aug. 13. Senator Borah prepared the following statement for The Journal regarding his motion to amend the arbitration treaties by strik ing out the section making the Judgment of the Joint high commission final and making Its report subject to decision by the senate. "The amendment does not to my mind limit the scope or diminish the effect of the treaties. Its only purport Is to enable the senate to approve or to dis approve the Judgment of the commis sion, reserving the power given the sen ate by the constitution." "I am not willing to give exclusive Jurisdiction to a commission composed either of Americans or of foreigners to pass upon matters which may arise on the Pacific coast, especially with ref erence to Immigration from the Ori ental countries, and kindred questions. I think the western states need more Immediate representation In regard to such matters than they would have upon a commission with whose creation they had nothing to do. A treaty as such Is Just as effectual so far as substi tuting arbitration for war. with the amendment, as without, while our do mestic affairs are left as they should be, under our constitution."
