If tlm young growth had been protected when and after the land wore logged, audi Ionic huul would bo uniiecttsnnry and lumber price would lm lower. Nor does the community gain any thing In pliice of the lumber Industry when It moves on, on a rulo. The wealth-producing activities of log kIhk und lumber manufacture are not succeeded by other activities If the land U not agricultural. Not only la IiiiiiIht needed In abundance and aH chenp a possible, but the timber-growing mate need tho Industry uH well. Idle land produce no wealth and employa no labor. Throiitchout the east and Ihn norlh, where once were great fun-Kin whlrh supported a thriving umber InduBiry, are now million of acre of Idle land, swept by fire year nftor year. The ame hlitory I being repeated In the onih and will, utile prerentlre measures are taken, be repeated In the forested area on the other aide of the Kreat pla'm. All of our country I not a Harden pot. A very limited portion of the foreat land can ercr be made into farm, orchards or pasture. Deserted farms In every state In the east and millions of Idle acres attest the truth of this statement. If further proof were needed, the experience of the older European countries furnish It In abundance. All of this has come about be cause the American people hare been careless with a itreat renource not In It ue o much as In Its care. Cut over forest land, if protected from fire, will continue to grow trees of commercial quality. The right prac tice of forestry will greatly Increase the yield and .the profit, but the big factor In the present situation is the prevalence of forest fires de struction which can and must be atopped. Statlnlirs show that In the five year period, from 1916 to 1920, over St. 000,000 acres of forest land were burned over, causing a damage ap proximated at $85,000,000, and 81, 000,000 acre of land which former ly grew commercial forests in the p?::n:Hin:HnlTntro:BH:itnttlTnTttinKnilllHllin!rtnniiailliaHUiillll!i mtwaimuimaiililll.-lliiailllllil'lll'lnnnntllinill lililliinniiTniiain.aiininnnnin.nn..irewHOTira:iaMli:w ICE REDUCTI ON ON FEB ERAL II THEE The High Grade Universally Popular 30x3V2 Traf f ik Non-Skid $ 1 BM A Complete Stock of All Sizes in Traffik, Rugged and Cord See us for prices on other sizes PLEDGES ROAD DON'T MENTION IT, BRITISH REQUEST DISTItK T Kxr;i.i:Kit HAY that I.AIK.K MM ( UK HWy.lt, HOUKVKIt, IIY W.UTIXO IXTlIi It.llNY KKAHO.X I.V FAM-, By the txia udllure of some $20, 000, the m et Ion of The Dalles-California highway between iiend and thn north county line could be made a veritable boulevard thin summer, but, liiHtead of thin, the highway torn mlaitlon will wait until the beginning of the fall rain, arid do thn work for comparatively nothing, declared J.

In the main, produce noth ing of commercial value if not re planted to forests. Much of the $00,000,000 acres damaged by forest fires Trill even now reproduce natur ally if fires are kept out. The time for action has come. Our forests are being destroyed four times as fast as nature is growing them. The forest fire is the arch eneyir, which null be stopped. Stop ping forest fires, according to Col onel W. B. Greeley, chief forester of the I'nlted States department of ag riculture, will solve 80 per cent of our forest problems. It will restore our lumber Industry, supported by the production of lands now wholly unproductive, create new wealth, and supply to the people at reasonable cot the lumber so badly needed. So urgent has this problem be come that President Harding has des ignated the week from May 22 to 28 as Forest Protection week, for tb,e purpose of calling public attention to this big Internal problem.

An attempt to amend American history will be madg at a conference of Anglo-American professor of history, to be held here in July.
