We feel the people of the east ought to know more about the beau tiful places in th west. With this must come road development, which can be worked out a step at a time. "The country has spent millions of dollars fighting forest fires, some of which were inevitable, but many of which could have been prevented if people understood what the forests are for. We wish to bring about greater co operation In the protection of forests from fires. "The extension of the application of forestry to private lands will take a little time, but people are coming to realize that some provision must be made for the forests of the future. This will, in a great measure, he brought about through the government acquisi tion of logged-off lands."

Young, a pioneer of 1852 and a mer chant of Albany for more than half a century, died at his home in this city at 4 o'clock this morning, after j being confined to his room with paralysis for almost five years.

Throughout his long confinement he re mained cheerful. Mr. Young was born !n Holmes coun ty, Ohio, in 1838. His parents migrated to Iowa in 1844 and in 1832 joined a train which came across the plains by ox team. The family spent the first winter on the Tualati plains, coming to Albanyrthe following spring and. with thj exception of two years. 18f8-1860, spent in the California mining districts, he had lived continuously in Albany since that time. He first entered the mercantile busi ness in Albany in 1863 as a clerk for Pemas Beach. In 1866 he formed a partnership with John Barrows and L. E. Blain. Barrows dropped out of the partnership a few years later and the business was continued under the name of Blain, Young & Co. until 1875, when the partnership was dissolved, Blain and Young each taking a share of the stock and continuing business as indi viduals. , After he was stricken with paralysis in 1915 his business, then be ing conducted under the name of S. E. Young & Son, was sold to L. E. and H. J. Hamilton. In 1889 Mr. Young built a two-story brick building on the site now occupied by the First National bank and con ducted his store there until it became too small, when he constructed a mod ern store building, occupying a quarter block.
