For the tlmbor meu of the United Slates who have been cutting under sited trees for pulp wood there is a lesson in the statue by which the Dominion ot Canada, with her great timber resources, makes it an illegal act to cut spruce having a diameter ot one foot or less. ' . It Is estimated that fully half of the pulp wood as , well as great quantities of - lumber used In the United States at present comes from Canada, With continuation ot the conservation methods employed by our neighbor and the wasteful policy at home the result can be only per manent disadvantage to the United States. To save the situation laws to conserve our timber supply must not only be enacted; they must be; entoroed. - Some experts put a limit of twenty years on our supply ot pulp wood unless reforestation Is qulcly and extensively practiced.- Spruce Is a quick growing wood. It renews It aelf rapidly under fuvorable condi tions. That no tree less than a foot In diameter should be cut is granted by all who have a knowledge ot for estry. A correspondent ot this news paper recently wrote that in central New York a patch of spruce bait a mile square had been cut over in which none ot the trees was more than six inches through and photo graphs were submitted in proof ot this assertion. No attempt at re planting was made. This is the sort of lumbering that la hurrying the day when a wooden house will be a novelty. a reason; call and see.

Mackenzie ot this city and Clyde Pangborn of Yrekn, Calif., both experienced army flyers, Ashland will have its first flying school within a week, according to Information obtained from Mr. Mackenzie yesterday. The company has engaged a field about a mile north of town across Bear Creek and will begin operations from there as soon as the compan y's two pianos arrive in this city. Mackenzie's three seater plane h as been shipped from Portland and Pan shorn Is planning to fly his m achlne from Yreka within the next few days. Punghorn owns a two seater plane. It is the plan of the company, stated Mackenzie yesterday, to es tablish not only a training school with a course to extend over as long a period of time as necessary tor the embryo flyer to master the art, but also engage In passenger carrying to any desired points. They will give exhibition flights and "joy rides" tor those wanting the thrills ot the air but not caring to learn air navagatton. The tentative flying course as outlined by Mr. Mackenzie calls tor a thorough training in the ground school and a minimum of eight hours flying time In the air and a maximum ot fourteen hours. A dual control in both planes make it comparatively safo for the students while in the air. Mr. Mackenzie states that the company has been appointed agents for southern Oregon and northern Cali fornia, as sales agents for the Curtis planes. Although the company will begin Its initial operations in Ash land tbelr Is some question about' remaining here In lieu ot Med ford which has a municipal flying field. Tbe Chamber of Com merce here Is making efforts to obtain a suitable field for their use. The company desires to lease such a field. Mackenzie frank ly prefers Ashland to Medford and hopes to make the necessary ar rangements here. ASHLAND RESIDENTS GIVE PROMINENCE TO OREGON PRODUCTS I . Ry JOHN II. FULLER !

"The road Improvement policy of the national i government coupled with the efforts ot tbe various states in encouraging more travel yearly. Because tho best possible roads are made to lead to the scenic show places ot the country, I say that all roads lead to Ashland. This city Is on the main Pacific coast highway and possesses every possible advantage as a cen tre point ot'rnterest for 'tourists."

I find that they are enthusiastic good Hroads boosters." When women won the right to vote, the goods roads forces of the country received "on bloc" Its big gest army of supporters in history.
