A Correction
f EVERYTHING FOR S H O ES !
T o t h e E d it o r :—
A
statement in last week’s
N e w s was so misleading that it
seems proper that it should he
corrected.
It is a statement
given on the authority o f the
Oregon Voter, that the (ax for
municipal purposes in Estacada,
has increased 100 per cent this
year over last year. It is pre
sumed that this means the 1020
tax is 100 percent more than the
1010 tax as this year's tax has
not been levied, and will not be
until fall
A statement of the levies for
municipal purposes in the City
of Estacada for the years re
ferred to is as follows:

Although the relation of forests to rainfall and run-off is com
plex problem, into which enter the factors of climate, topography,
geography and geology, there is no doubt whatever that the forests
store a part of the rainfall in their spongy soil and loam, whence
it enters the streams gradually rather than suddenly, and that they
protect the accumulations of snow from rapid melting and evap
oration; therefore the preservation of the forests is of vital im
portance.
The greatest collateral usefulness of a forest, however,
lies in its power to regulate the run-off and to maintain a more
equable flow of the streams. This it does by decreasing the surface
run-off of flood waters and by increasing the seepage run-off from
the saturated soil which is the water that sustains stream flow.
This is of far greater benefit than would be the extra water carried
off by streams to the valleys below if the slopes were cleared. In
deed usually the greater run-off of cleared areas is in the form of
violent and destructive floods. A regulated flow, even though the
total discharge may be less than the sum of a succession of floods,
is vastly more beneficial, for “ it is the amount of water that passes
Into the soil, not the amount of rainfall, that makes a garden of a
desert.”

Fiom this it will be seen that
that the total levy for the two
years is the same. There is only
this difference. The 1010 special
road levy of 10 mills was reduced
to 5 mills in 1020. In 1010 there
was no levy for paying sewer
bonds.
In 1020 there were
5 mills for this purpose. This
means that we have 5 mills less
to spend on the roads this year
than last, but that we are reduc
ing our municipal indebtedness
by the amount produced by a 5
mill levy.
Very truly yours,
How’s This?

The finest forests in the United States are in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana,
and Ualifornla. These five states contain half of all the timber in the United States.
WHY IS THIS A B EN EFIT TO THOSE WHO LIVE IN THESE FIVE STATES?
Because, next to food Itself, iu< product is so necessary to the human race as wood.
People must have it for fuel; for their houses, barns and fences; to make paper; to build
ships and railroads, and for almost every article used by civilized man. Having plenty
of It we not only get all these things cheaper ourselves, but can sell it to other states
and countries which have no forests.

How important to us is it to be able to supply these other states and countries?
The forests are one of our chief means of support, for lumbering is our greatest
industry.
Its yearly output in the Pacific States brings $“97,500,000, or more than
$800,000 a day, most of which comes in from outside these states. Almost all of this im
mense sum Is paid out for labor and supplies, so that every family shares it. It contrib
utes to every business we have; to farmer, merchant, mechanic and professional man.

A PARAMOUNT-ARTCRAFT PICTURE
No other product of these states, not our wheat, our fruit, our wool, furnishes em
ployment for so many people or brings In so much money. Lumber makes up 75 per cent
of all the freight we ship out of these states by rail or boat.
Every woman loves beautiful
gowns and in “ Everywoman,”
the film version of the famous
morality play, which is coming
to tin* Family Theatre next Sat
urday and Sunday, a multitude
of the fashionable modistes’ most
modern creations are shown. In
the opening scenes o f the picture,
before it becomes a purely sym
bolical story of life itself, a ba
zaar is shown that is declared to
be a veritable fashion show. The
gowns are exquisite and of vary
ing character.
Evening cos
tumes of the finest of materials
are features of the gaming room,
palace o f wealth and other ornate
scenes.
What should the state do to protect the forests?
Pass the best kind of forestry laws and allow plenty of money to carry them out.
Fire patrol is particularly necessary to find and fight all fires. People who set fires
should be punished. The state should encourage lumbermen to re forest their lands, also
buy such lands and should grow new forests itself.
