THE FOREST RESERVE FIGHT.
Xo former action of President
Koosevelt has brought out such a fire
from his enemies as did his recent
withdrawal of all the available forest
land of the Vnited States, in order to
anticipate the action of congress In
taking away from the president the
power of creating forest reserves.
While the East Oregonlan is in
hearty accord with the president in
this matter, believing that he has act
ed in the best Interest of the people,
yet he has aroused formidable oppo
sition In all parts of the country and
the agitation promises to crystalize
Into, a national issue. The Rocky
Mountain News of Denver, a typical
western paper, expresses the views of
the opposition In the following graphic
manner, and while the East Oregonlan
does not agree with the News, yet the
sentiment of the Denver paper Is
worthy of republishing as showing the
arguments of the opposition to the
president. The News says:
The action of President Roosevelt,
in suddenly adding over 3.000,000
acres to the forest reserves of Colo
rado, is one which western men must
view with indignation, and the presi
dent's friends with deep regret. It is
another instance of the arbitrary dis
position which Is hard enough to bear
with when used for the plainest pur
poses of humanity, and which is all
but Intolerable when, as In the present
Instance, It Is used to bar the develop
ment of a state.
President Roosevelt has been 111
advlsed. The News Is well aware of
that. He has been waited on by del
egations of big stockmen from the west
who have convinced him that the peo
ple of Colorado and neighboring
states wanted this sort of thing. But
the News cannot help thinking that If
the president were a little less prone
to act on insufficient Information, and
to Impugn the motives of those who
differ from him, he would not have
fallen Into the trap.
The forest reserves of this state
amount to over IS, 000,000 acres,
nearly one-fourth of Its entire area.
To all Intents and purposes, this means
that one-fourth of the state Is with
drawn from local control and turned
over to the fostering care of a Wash
Ington bureaucracy. It means that
one-quarter of the state Is withheld
from settlement, for that Is the prac
tical effect of the forest reserve pol
icy, and no fine phrases can change
It.
The people of Colorado, save for
the big cattlemen who hope to lease
from the government, are a unit
against the Increase of the forest re
serve. They feel that they know
quite as well as Roosevelt what Is the
result of tying up the vacant lands;
and when he coolly Informs them that
a government lease Is a sacred bless
ing their utmost politeness does not
carry them beyond a laugh.
They know enough about mechanics
to know that the more complex the
machine the greater waste of power
that the greater the waste of power
the more helpless Is he wno has no
power to spare; and they see In the
scheme for putting one-quarter of the
state under the dominion of a distant
bureau only a device for insuring,
within that quarter, the supremacy of
the "interests" which are already a
sufficient curse to the state.
Whether anything can be done about
It Is doubtful. Rut It is certuin that
tlie president has made a wanton at
tack on the home of his warmest
friends: friends, who, with all their
Malty, have no Intention of placing
either their opinions or their fortunes
at the disposal of a government bu
roa u.
mi: .louixAis t;oon record.
What Is really a remarkable record
in newspaper making has been achiev
ed by the Oregon Daily Journal In
Tort la ml.
The Journal was started five years
ago this spring, and was nn exced
li.gly shaky little proposition at first.
Owing to the numberless failures
which had preceded It In Portland and
to the strong opposition of the Ore
Konian, which, with Its evening Issue,
the Telegram, occupied the field alone,
the large firms were slow In giving
the new paper its share of the busi
ness of the city.
Finally, however, the Journal began
to show signs of longevity nnd as it
added new machinery, new features,
new departures in Portland Journal
Ism, Its friends multiplied, until to
day It has a bona fide circulation of
almost 30.000 and carrier more ad
vertising, week by week, than any
other Portland paper.
There Is no other success like it in
the history of newspaper making on
the Pacific coast.
Two significant Incidents have oc
curred In Pendleton today, March 8,
1907. One Is the Initiation of eight
candidates Into Pendleton Command
ty No. 7, Knights Templar, and the
other Is the purchase of the residence
of Dr. W. G. Cole by the Elks" lodge
of this city, to be used as a club house
for that order. Both Incidents Indi
cate an excellent growth and devel
opment of two of the leading orders
of the city and In a more significant
way, give evidence of the utmost faith
of the Elks In the future of Pendleton.
This action should spur other orders
to similar objects.
Now that a jury of good citizens of
Grand Ronde valley has found the La
Grande councllmen guilty of taking
bribes from La Grande gamblers, the
La Grande Chronicle which severely
criticized the East Oregonlan for cen
suring the councllmen, will, perhaps,
feel like apologizing. Even the shadow
of guilt In such a case Justifies the
most severe censure. City officials,
like private Individuals, are supposed
to conduct business upon the highest
plane and no one should have cause to
point the finger of accusation against
them.
The evidence given by former asso
ciates of Blnger Hermann against tht
ex-congressman, shows how fragile
are the ties which bind one rascal to
another. Hermann did wrong and his
associates knew that he did wrong
add that they concealed the facts un
til forced to divulge them, proves that
those who are now giving testimony
against Hermann are as guilty as he.
It is a most precarious business to
make a compact in crookedness, even
with a friend.
With $20,000 poured Into the lap of
Pendleton academy, for sustentatlon
and new buildings, that Institution
should leap Into prominence and be
gin a career In the educational field
of the Inland empire which will ever
stand as a monument to the citizen
ship of Pendleton which has evet
cheerfully supported lt4 and to the
character of the men who are up
building the academy.
SIMPLIFIED SPELLING GROWS.
With an army of 15.000 support
ers who have signified their belief
in the simplified spelling Idea, with
100 magazines and newspapers al
ready using the shorter forms, and
with 130 other publications ready to
begin to spell In the space-giving
way, the Simplified Spelling board
Is planning for this year a very ac
tive campaign to secure the adop
tion of Its Idea. In the first two
months of this year 350 Important
business men have Joined the move
ment. A campaign among college and
university professors In two months
has added 600 names to this class of
supporters. As a result simplified
spelling Is now endorsed by 2500
educators In the Institutions of high
er education In this country- The
next campaign will be to Interest the
faculties and pupils of the great nor
mal schools.
Already there nre 3000 teachers
who have signed the adhesion card,
while simplified spelling Is being
tainrht or authorized In the state
normal schools of Colorado, Illinois,
Iowa, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Wis
consin, nnd other states, and In the
public schools of Washington, D. C,
Dayton, O., Columbus, O., Duluth,
Minn., Passaic, N. -I., and many oth
er cities and towns.
A simplified spelling convention
will be held In April In New York
city, at which plans for a sustained,
and active campaign will probably
be formulated. The simplified spell
ing Idea continues to make friends,
and Its supporters are more san
guine than ever of Its ultimate success.
ARIZONA'S MAGNIFICENT
FOREST DOMAIN
The largest unbroken forest in the
world, outside of Africa, is believed
to be the one which covers 10,000
square miles of northern Arizona.
Other forests have larger trees, and
other sections have more miles o
trees, counting all their forested
areas together, but this great stretch
of yellow pine, bordered with juni
per and cedars, has few rivals any
where As great forests go, this one is not
old. The average tree Is reckoned to
be about 250 years old and tho bulk
of the forest is counted "ripe:" that
is, mature and ready .to decline in
vigor.
The western yellow pins forms 90
per cent of the growth. They are
fiom SO to 125 feet high, but they
do not Interlace; so the sunlight falls
freely on the brown needle strewn
.ground. Here and there are' open
parks, often hiding little hikes In
some depression.
There seems no reason for this
sudden halt in the march of the trees
unless, as the lumber' Jacks say,
the pine will not grow on the richest
soil; or as observant foresters believe,
these open glades mark the trail of
long past fires of extreme violence.
Such fire-made parka are found In
the cedar and Juniper forests where
their origin is positively known and
of comparatively recent date.
Taking the forest from end to end,
It contains the most beautiful scenery
and most of the natural wonders of
Aiizona. There are numerous caves,
some of them of unknown extent;
bottomless pits Into which the flood
waters of sudden showers pour and
are lost, and where a. stono dropped
falls with no sound of stopping. Oth
er caves are filled with Ice that never
melts and whose extent Is undeter
mined. South from the peaks the forest
grows thicker and the trees larger,
till the greatest size Is reached, prob
ably, on the Mogollon Divide around
Stoneman's lake. Still other caves
are' found In the southern trend of
the forest, most of them little ex
plored; Montezuma's Well and Cas
tle, the Beaver Creek soda spring,
the natural bridge at Pine Creek (the
largest in the world), and many well
preserved cliff and cave dwellings
are within the forest area.
In 1898 several tracts of forest land
around the San Francisco moun
tains were set aside In reserves, and
In 1902 these, with the Intervening
tracts, were consolidated Into the San
Francisco mountains forest reserve
of 1,975,310 acres.
This, with the Grand canyon re
serve of 2,307,520 acres, the Black
Mesa reserve of 2,030,240 acres and
the Tonto reserve of 1,115,200 acres,
Includes the heart of the great for

Consul H. L. Spahr, of Hreslau, re

ing Esperanto a universal language.
He writes:
All over the world trade associa

seeking a universal language. When
ever an International congress Is held
the need for such a language is rec
ognized and discussed.
