ENEMIES OF THE
PRESIDENT ARE FOILED
Hostile Elements to Awhile at
Denver to Discuss Public llSTnls arc
Now Wltlxmt a Footing All Lnihl
Not Strictly Foiwt Lnnil, Husi Been
Restored to Settlement.
That President Roosevelt and
Chief Forester Gilford Plnchot have
Dulled the1 teeth and dulled the claws
of the hostile elements which are to
assemble In the public land congress
at Denver on June 17 Is shown by the
following communication from John
E. Lathrop, Washington correspond
ent for a number of northwest pa
pers Mr. Lathrop nays:
In Washington It Is claimed that
the restoiation on June 6 of 2,780.140
acres of timber lands which had been
temporarily withdrawn for inclusion
in national forests will have the ef
fect of disarming some of the ad
verse criticism which has been direct
ed against the forest bureau.
Coming just before the assembling
of the Denver land convention, call
ed by Governor Buehtel of Colorado,
where It is expected there will be a
hard fight on the government's land
policies, It will be urged as proof that
the administration was not guilty of
all the crimes against western pro
gress which have been laid at its
doors.
Officials at the forest bureau stat
ed that the restoration of these lands
had been in progress for several
months. It was asserted that these
examinations were made prior to
March 3, when the president declar
ed created 17,000,000 acres of nation
al forests, for which act there was
conrldcrable adverse criticism.
No Timlicr Remains.
With these restorations accompllsh
I, so it is asserted at the forest bu-
au, no timber lands remain In Ore
gon, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana or
Colorado which have not been per
manently proclaimed as national for
ests or been restored to entry.
The policy of "the bureau as ex
plained by the officials In the ab
tence of Forester Plnchot has been
to temporarily withdraw timber lands,
send experts to examine them and
then restore to' the public domain all
which did not prove to be either ne
cessary to the protection of the wa
tersheds, or better suited to national
forests than for agriculture.
The restoration referred to in Ore
gon was. Goose Lake national for
est, Klamath and Lake counties, 195,-
mu acres; Fremont national forest,
Crook cwnty, 286,720 acres: Fre
mont national forest, Crook county,
64,160 acres; Wenaha national for
est, Wallowa county, 17,920 acres:
Wallowa national forest. Union coun
ty, 41,360 acres, Chesnlmnus nation

TO KDLIj CANADIAN THISTLE.
Dr. James Wltltyeombe Gives Advice
on Practical Methods.
Following Is a question by a Wood
burn farmer and an answer by Dr.
James Wlthycombe concerning the
eradication of Canadian thistle.
Can the weed called Canadian this
tle be killed? If so, please tell me
how it can be done?
Woodburn, Ore. J. M. C.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
success in eradicating Canadian thi
tie. This has been accomplished In
several ways. A small patch can be
smothered with a deep layer of straw.
Large areas should be cultivated
thoroughly with some hoed crop.' The
thistle should be cut Immediately up.
on appearance so as to smother It.
No plant can live If the leaves are
not allower to develop, as the leaves
are the stomach and lungs of the
plant.
An occasional cutting and then al
lowing the leaves to develop would
be simply time . wasted. Spraying
with a 20 per cent solution of sul
phate of Iron has been recommend
ed and It Is thought that spraying
with gasoline, particularly in bright
sunlight, would be very destructive
to the plant. This, however, will
have to be determined by actual ex
peiiments.
