' Resolved, That we commend the socretary of the interior In his efforts to preserve the forests which shelter the sources of our streams, so neccs sary to Insure a water supply, and in establishing a forest reserve under proper restrictions, after carefully in vcstigatlons and suveys, he should be encouraged, as we feel be is render ing a great service to the present generation as well as to posterity. Echoes From the Irrigators. 'The tendency of the American is to destroy everything natural he puts his hands upon. There must be some restraint put upon him, therefore the movement toward preserving our for. ests by legislative action, Is wise." William Gallagher. "The forest reserve sentiment Is not an attack on any industry. Stock- raising, mining, agriculture, mercan tile pursuits and manufacturing can stand side by aide In Oregon, each sustaining and strengthening the other. The West mu6t take some ac-! tion to help herself; so far the East has done most of our legislating." O. D. Tee I. 'This association Bhould make its position known. If we are not going to take steps to preserve the natural water supply of Eastern Oregon, Irrl gatlon will loose Its meaning. The first necessity In this movement I water, and we should declare In favo of maintaining our water sources by preserving the forests that surround them, and we should encourage our representatives in congress by mak ing known to them our stand upo this question."

He sent to congress ihc draft of a bill authoring the secre tary of the Interior to sell timber, grass, plants, fruits, seeds aud other material growing or being grovn upon forest reserves. Including stone, earth and all other inorganiic mate rial, at what shall be deemed a fair price, provided such sajes do not in torfero with the present mining laws and regulations on any reservation, or with the present practice of selling forest reserve timber. Ideal Forest Reserve. The bill also authorizes the secre tary to rent or lease lands within the reserves for tho purpose or erecting and maintaining cummer resorts. stores, mills and other establishments nnd to lease suitable reserve land for grazing and other purposes not Incompatible with the objects for which reserves are created. The moneys derived from such sales rentals and leases are to create a spe cial fund to he expended In the care and protection of foreat reserves. Each state is to have a separate tuna. Income to be School Funds. Wherever therp shall be a surplus". 25 p-r cent of such surplus is to go to the school fund or the staio or ter ritory In which the reserve is located. Where a reservation lies in more tharil one state, the surpliif is to be pro portionately divided. This bill contemplates placing ior- est reserves on a higher plane tnan at present, making them more like the Yellowstone and omc- nuuor.ai narks. While the bill Is not such as to meet much opposition In congress, there is littlo chnn-M 'or H:- passime at the short session. LEAVING PORTLAND.
