ONE WAY PINCHOTI8M
BUILT UP MONOPOLY
Following are some of the spe
cific charges made against Pin
chotism by Congressnian Hum
phrey of Washington, in his at
tack on that brand of conserva
tion in the House on June -ml:
One-third of area of reserves
has no forests.
Millions of acres of so-called
forests are sheep ranges and oili
er. millions are deserts.
Fores) service creates forest
reserves over these deserts and
gives the Santa Fe railroad 935,
(100 acres of lieu land scrip.
This scrip was then used to
grab good lands, and the Santa
Fe secures 750,000 acres of the
best lands in the public domain
for its worthless deserts.
Under this arrangement 53.000
acres of the best timbered lands
in the state of Washington pass
ed to the Santa Fe road.
Northern Pacific exchanges
mountain tops for 450,000 acres
of Washington timber lands and
sells these same lands to the
■Weyerhaeusers.
Same railroad exchanges its
worthless Montana lands for
2 40,000 acres of scrip and takes
more good timber land from the
public domain.
Annual crop of timber estimat
'ed by the service is 0,000,000,000
feet..
Annual cut, as told by chief
forester’s report, is only 7 per
cent of the crop.
In figures, a million dollars
worth of timber was sold and
fourteen million dollars worth
rotted on the ground.
Timber crop has been wasted,
while the price of lumber to the
’consumer has steadily advanced.
The American Forestry Asso
ciation is the parent organization
of the federal forest service. Ev
ery lumber king in the country
holds membership in the Amer
ican Forestry Association.
Forest service is piling up miU
lions of deficit, while its resour
ces, the limber products, ‘are
wasted.
At present rate of cutting it
will take 35,000 years to remove
present timber on reserves in this
state, allowing nothing for new
growth.
State of Washington alone has
lost $60,800,000 in eifeht years
through present / conservation
practices.

•onderous Personages—Ulysses
Grant.
(By George Fitch.)
Ulysses S. Grant is the world’s
greatest illustration of what lack
if perseverance can accomplish
And also what can he done by
sticking everlastingly to it.
Grant was horn in Ohio, April
27, 1822, and because his father
knew a congresninau he went to
West I'oinl and became a soldier,
standing at Ihe foot of his class
in mathematics, French, tattling
and bed-making, hut riding a
horse in a manner which produc
ed the profoundest respect in
said horse. On his graduation he
fought in Ihe Mexican war and
then gave up the army and went |
into business.
Grant because a tanner and
might have become a great and
rich mail in about dOO years by
Ibis method. But lie <1 id not slick
to it, and when the Civil war op
ened lie entered ilm army again,
and owing to his quiet but inim
itable system of reducing Ihe en
emy to a few scattered remains,
he became lieutenant-general, the
highest honor ever conferred on
an American soldier; and started
for Richmond. If he had been as
casual as he had been in busi
ness he would never nave gotten
there, but although for weeks at
a time the air was so full of con
federate cannon balls that
breathing was extremely difficult,
he pushed steadily <>n and took
Richmond after a dozen generals
had given up the job.
The war was now ended and
as soon as possible the grateful
people elected Grant president.
He served two terms with much
dignity and nobility of character,
and then made a trip around the
world, thus enabling other na
tions to take a hasty look at the
greatest soldier since Napoleon.
He then retired to New York,
where in his old nge a publish
ing house failed and ruined him
and he was attacked by cancer of
the throat.
Grant now began a battle which
made the engagements in the
Wilderness seem trivial and com
fortable. Fighting ofl' death as
sternly as he had ever fought off
Lee, he kept him waiting outside
until he had completed his mem
oirs in two large volumes and
had thus insured his family
against want. The nation watch
ed the bailie with throbbing sus
pense and when he wyp the light
and leaned back to die in peace,
it was felt that no victory of the
great war had done him so much
honor.
. There will be very few Grants
in history because Nature had to
use up a whole year’s supply of
iron in fashioning his will when
she made him.
