For one thing the interruption of the lumber business in the North west will hove a tendency to check the cut of timber, which has been going on wastefully, and to carry over much timber to a time when it will be much more valuable. Waste of resources is one of our besetting American sins. We have extermi nated the seals; have almost de stroyed the salmon, and have wasted immense quantities of the timber already cut or culled over, and allowed other and greater bod ies of limiter to be destroyed ut terly through carelessness in losing control of fire. Not until recently had we begun to realize how val uable our great stand of timber is. Most owners want to "realize” too quickly for their own good; or not for their own good, certainly for that of the country. Now, if we can’t sell, at least we may pause and reflect, add then, after a while, when we can resume, belike we may be prepared for the exercise of more care and conservatism; so that in cutting the timber we may be as saving as possible of it, and careful in the use of means for protection of the younger growths. It will be said, of course, that this will not be practicable, that it will not pay; that the logger must make all tke money lie can; that he can’t stop to proiect the younger growths, when cutting and felling trees, or to keep fire from runniug over the ground. He can’t, of course, or will not, if he has no thought of the future, and is merely working one of the many varieties of get- rich-quick schemes, with which the energy of the time teems and abounds Yet it takes so long for timber to grow that it should cost everyone a pang to see young trees heedlessly peiish. It is oue thing to clear the land for necessary crops. It always has been necessary to sacrifice timber, ia particular localities to this end. So it is still. But it is another thing to destroy wholly the timber on land that never can bear crops. Such are the lands in most of our mountains and in many of our hil ly districts. To protect the timber from the waste that is destruction is one of the objects of the system ot forest reserves recently put into operation. There was an empire of white pine timber about the Oreat Lakes and Upper Mississippi. The tim ber is gone, and most of the land an which it stood is practically use- ess for crops or cultivation Mil- ions of acres of these lands are now >n delinquent tax lists. Proper ¡are in cutting the timber would lave preserved I rom destruction he smaller trees, which, in the lurry and slash of the lumbermen’s novement were merely destroyed 0 get at the best. Reforestation, |nder proper care, would go on idily, through processes of Ns- »re, as the larger trees are rernov- if care were taken; but it is erhaps loo much to expect there ver will be the r.eedtul care. I'ri- ate owners seldom will study auy- fiing but present gain. ' But now, if our people cannot jst their lumber hauled away, per- Aree they will save their timber. 1 will require some philosophy to «Bain contentment out of such en- Arced economy, which our people j [ill pray may end as soon as posai- e.

Two hundred and thirty new people found homes in Oregon every day from September 1st to October 31st as a result of the colo nist one-way tickets and through the help of the newapapers the pop ulation and wealth of the state has been enormously increased The exact number of tickets sold as re ported by Mr. William McMurray, General Passenger Agent on the Harriman lines, for I3O7 was 13,- 753. For the same time in I906 it was 8890, an increase of 4863 or about sixty per cent. This of course does not include tickets sold to Oregon over the Canadian Pa cific, Northern Pacific, Great North ern, or any other roads whose tickets came around by way of Puget Sound. The Oregon Devel opment League has made the colo nist rates the chief feature of its work. The Portland Commercial Club circulated 400,000 leaflets with this low rate its central feature, and probably no advertising over done by any state in the Union has shown better results.

The people of the state can depend up on the newspapers o f Portland g iv ing them the facts and before they get these facts they can depend up on any news contrary to the above statement being merely rumors. The last spike has been driven in the electrio road between Portland and Salem and as soon as the track is ballasted cars will be started which will be about January 1st. The peoplo of Western Oregon and the upper Willamette hope before another year, to see this road ex tended on op tho valley and relieve us from our bondage. !
