Craves, successor to Clifford Pinchot. consented to talk of the statu of national forestry in the light of hi observation ami to sketch In brief the plans of the bureau for carrying on its work. He dwells forcibly upon the necessity of putting a stop to the de structive forest tires and declares that is thefirststep to be taken In conserva tion of the country's timber supply. Mr. (5 raves said : "There was a time when the outlook for forestry was as favorable as the present. The people ot the country want to have our forests protected and Jso.handled that there will be forests and good ones after the present .virgin timber is "ut off. '.i."The first practicul step in that di rection is to stop the, forest fires. This I has been said over and over again, but it is only very recently that the public has"awakened to the ftict that it re quires something more than general laws on the subject in order to really put an end to the fearful annual Iocs. "It requires organization, men and money to stop the forest fires, just as these are required in protecting city property. This has not been appreciat ed till very reeent'y. Fire protection is the greatest immediate problem lie fore the forest service. All efforts are turnd toward this end. The experience during the last season of great drouth demonstrated very clearly that the national forests have been very much undermanned. Congress has given a increased appropriation for this work, but it remains to be seen whether the preset, t force it is nossible to put into the field is sufficient. "Plans are already completed ' for the fire carnpa'gn during the coming season. I he construction 01 trails, telephone lines and lookout stations, and the equipment of the forests with fire fighting appliances will be pushed as ar as the money permits. The patrol will be larger and better organ ized than before. Not only will there be men on patrol duty exclusively in dry weather, but the construction work, the cruising and all other work requiring crews of men will so coordin ated with the patrol organization that every man on a forest will be available for fire protection. "At last the states are waking up to the fact that they must net on of private forests.

TOBACCO TRUST DECLARED HONOPLY The United State? supreme court last i week decided that the American To I bacco comranv. the tobacco trust, is a in protec- IIlorioi)olv in restraint of traile and ex ists in defiance of the Sherman anti- Chief Justice White read It Is becoming more and more appar ent that the prixe Involved In the na tional election of 1912 Is worth fighting for. Not only the presidency In Invol ved, not only the House, In which the demon a tic domination is unlikely to bo shaken, but the control of the senate Is In serious jeopardy. People have so long thought the senate the very Gibraltar of Kepubilcsnism that many will be amared to know I hat the change of four seats to the democrats would tie the vote. In that event the vice-president would have tho casting vote ami every one knows what that would mean should the Democrats elect tnelr presidential ticket. In this estimate of probabilities all insurgent republican are classed as republicans, though they have sought recognition as a distinct party and have refused to vote with the regulars on the one party measure yet proposed namely, the election of Senator Hallin gor as president pro tern. Tne present exact roster of the senate is: Repub licans 37. independent republicans 13, democrats 41. One democratic seat Is vacant because a corporation democrat in Denver blocked the work of the legislature and deprived Colorado of one-half its representation. There will be personal changes on the democratic side of the senate, but hardly any change in its f political complexion. There are some who think that perhaM Clarence Watson, who is filling out the unexpired term of Stephen H. Flkins, mav be beaten. The West Virignia legislature is very close and it may be difficult for the democrats to carry it again. Hut I doubt if they will lose. West Virginia has been kept republican by a m;.t indefensible primary law - and that law is now in process of amendment. Furthermore Senator Watson is rich even according to West Virignia stand ' ards. and with his colleague. Senator 'Chilton, forms u political team un 1 known to the democracy of the state j since Ckviland sat in the While House. I llesidcs Watson, eleven democratic ; senutors will come up for reelection in ' legislatures chosen next year. Though ! some of these may be defeated it will ; be by other democrats.

Every cent Fpent upon such work by the public is soi.: I business invest ment. It means saving of property ; and lives. Greater security of forent property means grei.:er values, more investments, greater -tability of indus . try and continuat.ee of prosperity in ' forested regions. "Another cheerful sigT7 .,f the times ! is a growing appreciation that forest ' conservation does not mean checking of development. There are still a good j many w ho claim that il does check I development but that claim is chiefly ! from those who do not know or do not care to know what the objects and methods of practical forestry really are. ! "It is true that the- handling of pub lic forests ami of private forests muwt differ. The private owner aims ordin arily to exploit the timber and convert it into cash us fast as he can. The public forests are cut with a view to rebtoekii-if the cleared areas with a nv.' growth ami ot continuing and in creasing the production of timber. Wherever on the national forests there is a demand for merchantable timber it is offered for sale. It is sold at its appraised value and not for less. Many of the national forests are still very remote, so that there is small demand for the timber. That condition is very rapidly changing as the private timber is cut off. "It will be but a short time before the receipts from the national forests will increase rapidly. The management of the public forests is a gigantic business proposition. Sound business principles must be used. It is folly not to protect" Jthem from fire, even if under kthe present condition of poor markets for timber the cost exceeds the receipts. Every pruoent private owner use that simple principle with reference to his own property. It wouldjbe'equally great follyjto throw away, 2 at sacricfie prices, valuable! timberJJ of centuries"growth, Jwhen there isjnot'a realldemandJforiit.The forest service it) endeavoring not only tojprotect the"publicintereBts,libutJJ,to apply those principles of sound business that muut.underly tne administration of every large productive property." gitiia have two fighting opponents l:i Justice Har- ' presernaiives .tones ami tilass. nut I Virginia is governed bv the machine ision of the Unite! ; "n'1 '"-' cnat -rs -i . ... ;,, ..ir...-t nl- ' r.ryan iniiuem the decision of the court Ian dissented.

Manager Lyman Is now fully assured of its permanency, and is rushing preparations for working It to its full capacity. The story of ti.v find is drioiiutic in the exlremn. Over JMiO.OtiO had Ven expendo-l on the development of thu Lucky Hoy, seven tunnels in all Iwing driven, and a 40-stnmp mill, together with a hydro-electric Hiwer plant, hav ing been Installed. The ledge Usn which these expenditures were based however, ran out, ami for several years the Lucky Hoy mine has been , known as a "busted mityj," About two weeks ago John llawiiin son, mi old prosector of the Hluo Kiver district and at the time in thu employ of the Lucky Hoy, took his pick and started out on a prospecting trip. He went up the road to the site of the old building ami began proert ing along the hillside to tint cast of the old workings. He soon struck into a cropping mihI. breaking out a piece he found ti to be iiiarU, fairly sparkling with gold. He traced the out cropping for some distance to anurc himself of its sii-.e, ami then returned to the camp with sevreal panful of the ore. This ore was sent to Manager Lyman in Portland, with the result of bringing him to pltie liurr, j The new ledge was barely missel by one of the turim l of the old workings, lit has alrra.lv been traced for some distance, and has been found to lie j extremely rich.

"Second That the court below, in nunce run lie "leterinined Owen of Oklahoma has a hard fiK'l,t before him. The country nt luiue laughs nt or condemns Governor C. N. Haskell, but in his own state he is a smcr. and a whirlwind camnaig: As different in style and manner fr in Owen as a hot taniale is from a peach sherbet, he is likely to give the sena tor a real run. In Kentucky, Senator Piiynter ban Ollie James, the peo ple and the Bryan push. Incidently Pay nter is wishing he hail not voted to seat Lorimer.

"Third That for the accomplish ment of business purposes and, taking into view the difficulty of the situation the period of six months be allowed from the receipt of our mandate, with leave, however, in tho event of the judgement of the court below that the necessities of the situation require, to extend such erisl of time to. a further time not to exceed 00 days. "Fourth That in the "event, before the expiration of the period thus fixed, that conditions of disintegration of the combine in harmony with tho law are face at the Simmons desk seem good. Tillman, broken in health, probably j will not be a candidate for re-election, I and Jeff Mavis of Arkansas probably will he beaten. The senate will thus lose two picturesque figures and will sincerely mourn the disappearance of the South Carolinian. On the Republican side these sena tors may have to make way for demo crats : Jiiggs, New Jersey; Dixon, Montana; Frye, Maine; Kenyon, Iowa; Hrown, Nebraska; Curtis, Kansas; Gamble. South Dakota: Cullom. Illinois. 1 He capture of four of these seats would tie the senate; five would give the democrats control, Frye is incap able of another campaign. The demo crats hold tho Maine legislature now. and are confident of retaining it.

"Pending the bringing about of the result junt stated, each'and all of the defendents. individuals as well as cor porations, shall be restrained from the doing of any act which might further extend or enlarge the power of the combination by any means or device whatsoever." tho next campaign, while his vote, which actually won the day for Lori mer, will do much to make Illinois democratic. Dixon, Hrown and Hriggs have to oust legislature now demo cratic and install republican majorities, Curtis, Gambol and Kenyon admit their cases doubtful, though I am in clined to believe them safe.

POST OFFICE IS MILLION SURPLUS For the first time in the history of the service, the deficit in tho Postoflice Department has been en tirely wiped out and $1,(100.000 surplus for the current year ending on June 110 is in the treasury to the depart ment's credit. Postmaster Oeneral Hitchcock has signed a warant returning to the Sec rotary of the Treasury $3,000,000. the last of the amount set apart for de fraying the expenses of tho postal ser vice Tor the present year. Reforms in the financial system, Jit is said, have made the refund possible.. An accounting plan which was adopted about a year ago insures the prompt dejsisil in the treasury of postal funds riot required for disburse ments at jmihI offices, thu making it avuilablo for use by the Postoflice department several millions of dollar that under the former practice would be tied up in the post offices. Under the old system It, required approximately $10,000,000 to finance the Post Office Department. In making the refund Hitchcock said that ho was satisfied the postal revenue would be more than sufficient to defay the postal expense during the rest of the fiscal year, and that July 1 would ahow a surplus of more than $1,000,000.
