THE IMPRACTICABLE FOREST SERVICE.
T11K F0RIT HEBVIfK bunch bit off considerably more thnn it can mas
ticate handily when it created the Cliiiucli forest reserve in Alaska.
Recently the senate committee on territories hud Mr. Oreeley of thu
forest service department before it and asked him some questions that
were real embarrassing The outcome of it was that Mr. (Ireeley ad
mitted that the creation of the reserve could not possibly benefit any one or
the forests either. His own statements showed the timber was practically val
ueless, thut it only carried about 7000 feet to the acre, and that this was of
such poor quality that it was useless for any purpose other than for pulp or
firewood.
in fact when pinned down by the committee he admitted that the depart
ment hnd ''lone nothing towards conserving this forest other than "conserving
the title." He insisted that his department had protected that, ami that i'
it hail not done so the railroad might have built through part nf this reserved
area, and used some of the timber for ties. It would seem from this that the
only thing the forestry department has accomplished in mulling this big re
serve in Alnska is to stop the construction of rnilrnmls, and thut this it has
done.
This trait is one of the most objectionable things in all these public depart
mental creations. No sooner is a place made in which some distinguished citi
zen can draw a fat salary and be a gnnd-sized boss, than he begins, to turn nil
his efforts to making his department thn biggest thing on earth. He loses
sight of the objects of thn department which he is called upon to direct, uml
begins to give It. importance, to swell the juli up until he thinks it is big enough
to justify it requiring the services of so important a persnnnge as himself, lie
tries to make the department big, rather thnn its work useful and beneficial.
We. have some cases of this kind here in Oregon, where the only thing kept
In sight, by the officials was that nf making their especial department bigger,
an that it. would require more appropriations than liefore, and giving it impor
tance by the sums it cost to operate it, lather Hum from the results obtained.
The forest service depnitment of the government has from t inception
been one of the worst managed of any of the government jobs, it has caused
more trouble, more aiiuoyaiice, than all the others put together. It has al
ways been In thn way nf development, always a hindrance, always a brako on
the wagon, and it has nothing nt nil to show for its endless red tape, its wordy
claims, Its windy advertising of itself as about the greatest thing on earth. It
has conserved nothing but a lot of fat jobs for a lot of incompetents ami it
never will accomplish more than that. The sample of its work ns shown in
Al.nika is a fair one, anil the only thing this suggests is that the quicker Uncle
Haiti fires the whole gang of useless blood suckers, the better it will bo for the
country, This department opposes the building of railroads through reserves,
the use of timber by such roads, tho settlement of hundreds of thousands of
acres of find agricultural lands', any nud everything else that tho needs of tho
country require. In fact tho whole system just turns over to this egotistical
bunch tho control of millions of acres of the public domain to mismnnngo anil
keep from being made productive.
Why theso millions of acres of land should bo turned over to this bunch of
theorists, this aggregation of asininity, to nmiiso itself with, is one of the in
explicable things that it is not even worth while trying to find out. Congress
saddled them on us and nil we can do is to let them ride. For one, though, wo
cluliii the sacred right belonging not only to humanity, but to the dumb brute,
that like us has to be saddled and ridden, ami that is to buck when spurred too
hard, ami to switch our tall, metaphorically of course, when the rowels l it
dig in so deep. That forest sorvice depart incut that serves iiobmly ami no
thing other than its officials Is about as useful as un Ingrowing toe nnil as or
namental as a carbuncle, and as remunerative lis the itch.
NO EFFORT TOO GREAT.
T1IR MORNINfl ASTOUIAN', advocating slate aid in opening the Colum
bia, snys:
Measuring the present movement in this state for the deepening of the
ship-channels ucross tho Columbia bar by the pregnant losses of the past
and the extraordinary and certain gains of the immediate future, no
step to bring this to pass is too great, even to tho summoning of the Oregon
legislature for the purpose of enacting specinl laws ami making generous ap
propriations for the vital work; nor is there valid reason why the slate as a
whole should not lend its countenance and practical uid to the scheme.
Never in her history has so vast a proposition of profit and progress pre
dented Itself to the consciousness of Oregon, and since, of the four common
wealths involved In the development of this commerce, Oregon Is surely the
leading and heaviest I cficiury in tho venture, her initiation of such n course
Is logically iniemt.ivi and must of a certainty he followed by similar active
expression on the part of the otherthreo to whom the ii use results will
quickly demonstrate the necessity for such a a coalition,
Htnte pride and state welfare should prompt the cleanest and clearest han
dling of this huge question at the hands of our legislators provided it shall
be put up to them; their response to the universal demand for such action
should be in exact proportion to tho enormous sums being spent on the Colum
bia river by the federal government Itself and a minimum appropriation of
half a million is no extravagant standard In the premise, and as much more as
mnv appear essential fur the early accomplishment of the high purpose.
This is no time to consider special privileges, contracts, or pending negotia
tions, of nuv sort; If new departures are to be made for the dispatching of this
formidable uml promising task, they must be made without reference to any
thing which has gone before) the paucity of time left us in which to expedite
the work which should have been done yearn ago, is the key-cause for Ignoring
everything of un Invidious sort and putting in operation nuy and every expedi
ent wisdom and money can engineer. We have but 20 months in which to
work out even a partial degree of recoptiveness in this impending access of for
tune and no hour nor dollar should be lost or wasted. Astoria has shown her
hund in the mutter by the appropriation of tsoo.000 for docks ami dredging;
Portland ha long since demonstrated her power and purpose in the scheme,
has spent money like water and will spend it over and over again, ami it Ib no
Mr. (Ilynn, who under the law succeeds Governor Sulzcr, of .New York,
while the latter is under impeachment, is playing the Tammany game just an
he is directed, and will give the people of New York more Tammany rule. How
ever, that seems to be the kind of government tho New Yorkers like, and this
being the case they ore taking the right steps to get it." It Is said that "Lib
erty shrieked when Kosciusko fell." It is a safe bet that the dainty foolscap
the split shirted old ludv sports, took an up-tilted angle as she grinned when
Tamieany ; tfnuic jto he front in the interest of good government, uml downed

President Wilson, by. his refusal to rccgnize President Hnerta as the head
of the do facto Mexican government, is in rather an embarrassing position in
dealing with the Mexican situation, for the reason that he can not deal di
rectly with Hnerta. Tho proposition he is submitting to Iluertn, has to bo
submitted to the representatives of such foreign governments as havo recog
nized his gnvprnnieiit. f, iH understood the plan submitted by President Wil
son provides for Iluerta culling an election and for getting the revolutionists
to agreo to this.
