Bert E. Haney, Democratic mem
ber of the shipping board from
leased belief In timber conservation: Oregon, issues a statement making
These remarks should not be cdn-
,'atrued ,as opposition to reasonable
conservation of timber, for certainly
no- state can have a greater stake
in conservation of timber than Ore
gon. Timber Is our greatest nat
ural resource, and upon It's wise use
'depends the permanence of our In
dustrial future.. But there' is a
wide chasm between hysterical con.
aervation talk that gets' nowhere
save to' frighten . people into be
lieving that it Is an unpatrlotlo act
to use lumber and the kind of wise
and - practical conservation that
protects from fire the timber now
standing and keeps new timber
growing on denuded lands.
The most practical of all conser
vation measures is fire protection,
So far as the Paciflo Northwest is
concerned, If the government Will
eontrol the , f Ire menaoe we can
Undertake pretty safely to guaran
tee that the' supply of timber will
be reasonably permanent. The for
est service has been doing some
Jt plain that .he has not resigned.
Shucks!, Isn't it commonly under
I stood that a Democrat never re
signs 7 ,
Bergdoll, of course. Is Bergdoll.
But If he were anyone else -he'd be
coming to the conclusion by this
time that It would have been easier
to fight..:

small church in our sister city near
the Jtfexican border. Oreater and
greater waxed the interest and fer
vor of his people until a tine new
church edifice with well eaulDoed
educational accommodations graced
a fine corner In the university sec
tion. Unlike so many pastors, who
move on when a building is com
pleted, T. 8. Handsaker stayed on.
Beloved ot his people and the en
tire community, a strong preacher
and tireless pastor; an enthusiastic
sympathizer with young people and
a constructive builder In Blblo
school work, no one would have
listened
on, filling
until today it Is. the largest Chris
tian hi Die scnool in Ban Diego and
third In size of. all religious bodies.
The young people are of a hign
type, having depth of thought, sin.
cere devotional sentiments, and re
ligious ambitions. The church mem
nersnip nas grown until it ranks
among the large congregations ot
California south, and has been ac
tive In promoting mission points In
surrounding communities. No man
in California has done a more out
standing work than Tommy Hand
saker and his good wife.
But this tireless application to 1
great task takes its toll. Brother
Handsaker Was forced to retire
from his field, because of Illness on
January 1, 1920, An Illness which
to us who know, bespeaks glad will
ingness ot a great life to give Itself
a living sacrifice to the work of the
church of Christ. . But Ood heals
such lives often. This Is true of
this great life. , Brother Handsake"
Is Improving, and after a few
months' rest he will be ready to
take another field, and we can say
with absolute certainty that he will
do for any field, exactly what ho
has done at University Han Diego
We congratulate the church that
Is fortunate enough to secure T
8. Handsaker when he Is ready to
take up nis leadership again.
