is entitled to high commendation.
The program has proceeded bo far
that tliere Ohly temalfii the "Tpis'sage"
of a special act of congress to com
plete ,the arrangement. The chi;
forester of the United States is in
cordial cooperation with Governor
West, and his Indorsement and influ
ence will be behind the proposed con
gressional action.
, The negotiations between Gover
nor. West and the Washington au
thorities have proceeded so far that
the site has been selected. - It has
been examined and approved by the
federal officials. The passage of a
special act" for concluding the pro
ceedings Is but a detail In which
there should W no hitch or delay.
The government will back the plan
because it affords unparalleled op
portunity to put 46,000 acres of Um
ber lands under the scientific man
agement of a' forestry school, where
the true use and conservation of tim
ber can be perennially demonstrated.
Governor West's own statement is
that, the arrangement will afford the
basis for the best forestry school In
the world.
On the other hand, the common
schools of Oregon will be given in
perpetuity a large Income from this
timber, an arrangement Jby which tio j
Income to be derived from the scat
tered remnants of the school lands,
will be enormously increased.

other peace was signed In the year of
August 1380, which was no more dur
able thafl the first, and the count re
duced Tpres, and at tha head of an
army of 8000 men laid siege to Ghent
Itself, the chief and oul of the popular
confederacy, in the month of September,
But the citlsens of Ghent defended
themselves so well that be was obliged
to raise the siege In the middle of No

was also broken by the count's party,
th war renewed In tho "beginning of

what he and his party wish to do, why

to go about it Neither of tho other '
candidates Is willing or able to do this.
Now tha first voters of this year have -come
to their majority while tho tariff
has been under discussion as it never
has beon before, and the pet outcome
of that discussion Is the conviction on
the part of the great body of tbo Amer
ican people that the tariff must bo re-.
duoed. All that is left open Is tha
question of which party will most sure
ly do It The only logical or sensible.
answer to that question Is that Govern
or Wilson and his party can be trusted
to reduce the tariff, carefully, gradual
ly, aafely, but surely, and tho others
cannot The effect of the discussion on
tho first voters is obvloualy Important
Thoughtful young men, Interested In
the affairs of the community, are like

are only too easily - detected in all

too Ignorant ot what bo discusses or
