SATURDAY NOVEMBER 23, 1907.
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

ions of acres of these lands are now

idily, through processes of Ns-

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

Aree they will save their timber.

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 rates

The last spike has been driven in
