NO. 108 ASTORIA, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1908 PRICE FIVE CENTS VICTORIOUS JOE GANS Defeats the Rugged Boer Easily AN iUNEQUAL COMBAT Unholz Was Systematically Beat en Down Until the Referee Interfered KNOCKED OUT IN ELEVENTH Cans Sent the Willing But Awkward Boer Down With a Wicked Upper cut on Chin, end Seeing Hit Condi tion Refuted to Continue. SAN FRANCISCO, May 14-Joe Cam, the lightweight champion, add ed another victory to his long string tonight by defeating Rudolph Un liol. the rugged Boer from South Africa, in the 11th round. The fight was Cans' all the way through. He systematically beat down Unholz and the referee interfered in the 11th round when Unholz was practically knocked out. Although Can had the fight at all stages he had no easy time solving the awkward defense of Unholz and in overcoming his natural stamina. The first knockdown occurred in the fourth. Unholz got up promptly and came back full of fight and although willing to mix it at all times, his wild efforts were never successful. In the seventh Cans, knocked Unholz down again and from this time on it was only a question of how long Unholz would be able to stand Cans' punish ment. The unequal combat was pro longed into the 11th round when a series of short arm Jolts Cans sent the willing but awkward Doer down with a wicked uppcrcut to the chin. Unholz got up completely blinded and Cans seeing the condition of his ad versary humanely stood by and Ref eree Welch stepped in and gave the decision to the champion. Joe Cans went in the ring a 10 to 3 favorite over Unholz. Last night the odds dropped from 2 to 1 to 10 to 31, and the Cans supporters were still taking the coin that was offered by short-enders. Cans did not work yesterday but was down to 133 pounds in the after noon, so that the ringside weighing-in should be mere formality for the two boxers. The men fought at 133 pounds, ring side, which was for the lightweight championship of the world. DR. ROLLER WINS. SEATTLE, May 14-Dr. Roller won two straight falls from Fred Beel tonight.

CHICAGO, May 14.-The Tribune today says: Residents of Evanston were startled yesterday when it became known that Mrs. Jas. A. Fatten, wife of the grain magnate, and herself a leader in club and society life, in the suburb, had been swindled out of $30,000 by a canvasser. Mr. and Mrs. Patten refused last night to discuss the matter, and May or Jos. E. Padden of Evanston who is Mr. Patten's attorney, was equally reticent. Chief of Police Shaffer of Evanston has a warrant for the ar rest of the swindler, but he too, de clined to talk of the case, COURTMARTIAL FINDINGS. WASHINGTON, May 14,-Owing to the fact that General Edgerly, commanding the Department of Da kota, the headquarters of which is at St. Paul, is temporarily absent from his post, it has been necessary for the president to act in the cases of 23 en listed men of the army on duty in that department who were convicted by courtmartial of various infractions of the army regulations, principally desertion. In the large majority of these cases the president approved the finding and sentence of the court but in a few cases he mitigated the sen tence to lighter punishment than that imposed.

HOLD-UP IN TEXAS Three Bandits Secure Pay of Dawson Miners A BOOTY WAS $35,000 Special Train With 30 Men and 50 Horses Are Hot On Their Trail WIRED FOR BLOODHOUNDS At French They Broke Down the Door of the Depot and Bound and Gagged the Agent and a Special Guard. EL PASO, Texas, May 14.-Pur- sued by men and bloodhounds, three bandits with $35,000 of loot in their possession are fleeing through the rugged mountain passes north of French ,a little station 80 miles north of Las Vegas, N. M., on the Santa Fe railroad in an effort to escape the clutches of tho law. At French late this evening they broke down the doors of the depot, bound and gagged the station agent and a special guard and blew open the safe and took all the money and rode away leaving their victims help less. A tramp wandered into the sta tion half hour later and released the almost unconscious men and gave the alarm. The news of the daring rob bery was wired to every town in the neighborhood of French and a special train bearing 30 deputies and 50 horses left cast Las Vegas in half an hour hot on the trail of the fleeing bandits. A special with four men left Daw son also and a message was sent to the territorial penitentiary at Santa Fc for bloodhounds which were brought through as fast as a special engine and car could carry them. The stolen money was sent from Albu querque this morning on the Santa Fe train to pay the miners at Dawson. Only a branch road leads to the mines. The special guard and a transfer of the money is necessary at French. The special guard heavily armed accom panied the treasure and upon leaving the train at French he went inside the station and placed the money in the safe and locked the door to the depot. Suddenly a noise of a breaking win dow attracted the attention of the guard and the station agent and they looked around to face the muzzles of two rifles. The third bandit broke open the door and entered. He then held the two men covered with a re volver while the othr bandits entered the building. After tying the guard and agent, the robbers shot the safe with dynamite, took the money and fled. GOING TO HIS POST. NEW YORK, May 14.-Consul-Gencral Benjamin H. Ridgeley of Barcelona, Spain, who was recently made consul-general at Mexico City, is tn New York on his way to his new post. He is accompanied by his wife and daughter. "There is no longer any antipathy toward Americans in Spain," he said, "Spain is awakening to her resources. Her manufacturers are entering the markets of the world. Already ten per cent of the cotton crop of this country is manufactured in Barcelona and shipped from there to the ends of the earth." Mr. Ridgeley will leave for Wash ington this afternoon, STANDS BY SON. Fullerton Senior Will Not Stand for the Blackmailing of Hit Son. ST. LOUIS, M7yJ4-S. H. Fuller ton, the father of Robert W. Fullerton, who is held in San Francisco on charges preferred against him by Miss Gladys Hobart of New York, stated last night that if his son is not re leased on the writ of habeas corpus, he will probably go to San Francisco and accompany his son to New York to meet the charges. Mr. Fullerton in sists that his son is not guilty of wrong doing but is the victim of a black mailing scheme. "It is palpable to me that my son is a victim of a scheme to extort money from me and from him," said Mr. Fullerton. "I will spend my for tune if necessary and fight this thing through every court in the United States but I will never have the mat ter quenched by paying any extor tion. I have never heard of any pro mise of marriage but I have heard of requests for money. If necessary I will go to New York and show just who is engineering this scheme. I advised my son to pay no money but to fight the matter to a standstill. He took my advice". ENTER ATLANTIC SERVICE. VICTORIA, B. C, May 14.-The Nippon Yusen Kaisha is to invade the Atlantic, according to advices re ceived by the Tosa Maru yesterday. The Asahi, a prominent Tokio news paper, says the Nippon Yusen Kaisha will transfer some of the steamer now on the European line from Yokohama to London and continental ports, to a trans-Atlantic service, to be establish ed when the nine new vessels of about 8800 tons, three of which have been launched, are added to the European line. The vessels thus taken off that route will be employed in an Atlantic service, first an irregular line, and eventually establishing a strong reg ular line. DRAMATIC SESSION Washington State Convention Adopts Local Option Plank EULOGIZES WILLIAM H. TAFT The Elkis' Quartette Entertained the Delegates With a Number of Songs One Delegate Called for "Where is My Wandering Boy Tonight" SPOKANE, May I4.-A dramatic and unexpected session of the Wash ington republican state convention today was the adoption of the local option plank by a vote of 506 to 258. A minority report signed by only 37 of the members of the platform com mitte, declared: "This convention records itself in favor of a reasonable local option bill to be enacted by the next legislature." And it was adopted with loud cheers. Then came an unique incident; the Elks', quartette of Spokane was in a big armory and had entertained the delegates with a number of songs. A delegates called for the singing of "Where is My Wan- aenng ioy i onigiu ana tne tamous j old temperance song was readily giV en and a large number of delegates joined in the song. The convention adopted unanimously the following resolution for Taft: "We recognize in the Honorable! William H. Taft, a statesman of lofty patriotism. He has proved his genius for public affairs; he is experienced in the public service and is in sympathy with the aims and desires of the peo ple as to governmental principles. We want the Roosevelt policies continued and we believe Taft is pre-eminently the man for the task. We pledge him the support of the Republicans of the State of Washington if he is nominat ed and instruct the delegation from this state to vote for his nomination as long as his name shall be before the convention." LI CONVENTION State Republican Conven tion in Session INSTRUCTED FOR TAFI "",'5 The Bourne People Were Defeat ed at Every Point, In Organi zation STRONG PLATFORM ADOPTED Two Efforts Were Made to Have the Name of Roosevelt Substituted For That of Taft in the Instructions to the Delegates. PORTLAND, May 14.-Oregon's eight delegates to the Republican na tional convention were instructed for Taft by both the State and Congres sional conventions. The three con ventions were absolutely in the con trol of the Taft people, under the management of Senator Fulton's friends. The fight was whether Ful ton could secure a delegation instuct ed'for Taft or whether Senator Jona than Bourne could secure an unin- structed delegation which would sup port the second elective term for President Roosevelt. The Bourne peo ple were defeated at every point, in organization, delegates and presiden tial electors. It was Bourne's desire to head the delegation. Late in the afternoon after the convention had passed the resolution instructing for Taft, Bourne wired from Washington urging that the delegation be in structed for Roosevelt and stated that if they were otherwise instructed he did not wish to be a delegate. The delegates elected by the state convention were Seneator Fulton, George H. Williams of Portland; A. N. Gilbert of Salem; C. G. Huntley of Oregon City. First Congressional District R. E. Williams, Polk county and C. E. Seglbrede, Coos county. Second Congresstioned District H. W. Coe of Portland; Asa Thompson of Umatilla county. Four presidential electors were nominated: J. D. Lee of Portland; R. R. Butler of Gilliam county; Frank J. Miller of Linn county, and A. C. Mar- sters of Douglass county. Two efforts were made to have the name of Roosevelt substituted for Taft in the instruction to the dele gates and one to substitute the name of Hughes. Each of these motions was voted down. The state platform aproves of the national administra tion; favors a tariff revision along conservative lines, demands restricted immigration to keep the Pacific Coast from being the dumping ground of undesirable Asiatics. A greater navy, the retention of the Atlantic fleet now on this coast in Pacific waters and the building of a new navy for the Atlantic; condemns the growing abuse of the initiative and referendum law; condemns all but Republicans registering as such and the Oregon delegation is com mended for the fight to restore to the public domain the land granted to the railroads. A special resolution was adopted condemning the Breckett bill now before Congress as tending to ward landlordism. An amendment to the interstate commerce law along the lines proposed by Senator Futlon is also recommended. Li A N JOHNSON ENDORSED. Minnesota Nobly Standi by Sturdy Governor. Her ST. PAUL, May 14-The democrats today formally" endorsed Governor Johnson as a presidential candidate and at the same time by a vote of 772 to 166 refused to declare for Bryan as the second choice. The followers orf Bryan did not carry out their theat to bolt and hold a rump conven tion if their contests were -defeated before the committee on credentials or if they were not able to secure a partial endorsement of their leader. They mad a sturdy fight for their man and when defeated remainder quietly in their seats and made no motion to leave. The Johnson men were gen erous in their victory and declared in the platform while they entertained "Affection for and confidence in the integrity and ability of William' Bryan'1 they believed Johnson was the man better calculated to bring success to the democratic party and was first entitled to the support of Minnesota.

When a community really desires some one thing and there is a mani fest expression of that desire, it were better to utilize the spirit that is ac tive and lively in that particular di rection and go after that one thing persistently and bring it in; and this is not in derogation of the wide range of that communities' necessities, for all may be compassed in due time but it is a hunch in direct purpose, "stick ability," concentrated effort and sin gleness of objective, that may per haps be more productive of real re sults than the dissipating of the local energies and monies in dozens of sep arate' quests and the consequent los- ine of them all or most of them. This community is not like a metro politan center" from which radiates a thousand influences and which holds an adequate reserve of resources, to be invoked and employed simultan eously with ease and success; we are of another class and latitude of people and means; and they should be con served and applied to the one givert thing for which our equipment stands, and that one thing attained, amplifies the impulse and assurance with which we will go after the next.

President Roosevelt has done an other good thing for the nation in calling together the Governors of the 44 States in conference upon the al ways absorbing question of the "state of the Union," and in asking the leaders of the great organizations of labor, capital, commerce, industry, science and civic progress to meet them for wide, comprehensive and universal advantage. It is exactly and entirely Rooseveltian in concept, and must, a few years hence, become a source of infinite inspiration and prac tical good to everybody. The as- sembling, once each year, of the brains, authority and trained-power of the people of the United States can not fail to be productive of some tre- menrlmm strides alone the line of popular relief and up-lift; for, in such a gathering, some man, or men, are bound to produce the best that is in them and compel its recognition and adoption as a policy of aggrandize ment, of simplification, of relief, of mergence, of oooular ascendancy, of o 1 profit, of each, and all, the new de partures that are to make for the highest march and mark of the country. We hope the idea of the annual meeting will grow in favor with those in immediate interest as well as with the commonalty, until it shall be in cluded in the accepted and inviolable programs of the day, and become resort for wise and rational rulings upon the questions and issues next and dearest to the public conscience; a board of arbitrament in the adjust ment of the living, challenging, ab sorbing inquiries and issues that possess the people and upon which they need enlightenment; though they hold the reserved and irradicable prestige of final mandate; in other words, that the great group shall become a clearing-house for the graver problems of the nation, and make their disposition a simpler matter with the people who mav look for unimpeachable counsel and get it, at the hands of the men they have raised to the dignities that warrant such an appeal.

The automobile will be awarded to The Most Common Cause of Suffering Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for the reason that it is the most common of all ills, and it is certainly gratifying to sufferers to know that Chamber Iain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and make rest and sleep possible. In many cases the relief from pain, which is at first temporary, has become perma nent, while in old people subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the weather, a permanent cure cannot be expected; the relief from pain which this 'liniment affords is alone worth many time its cost. 25 and 50 cent sizes for sale by Frank Hart and Leading Druggists.

But the fact remains that the kimono was absolutely lost for eight and one- half months as completely as if it had been destroyed by fire. It is again doing the service for which it was devised, MET COMPLETELY DETERMINED COMPLAINT IS MADE OF THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF ASTORIA ON THE NEW O. R. N. SUMMER SCHEDULES. The new schedule governing the O. R. N. and I. R. N. services, be tween Portland, Astoria, and the north shore beach resorts, which is to go into effect on June 1st, has not yet been given out in any of its de tails and the Astorian is not yet in position to comment on the matters alleged in the following letter to be disadvantageous to Astoria; and it waits what of confirmation that time card may furnish: "North Beach, Wash., May 13, 08. "Editor Morning Astorian: "I have noted from time to time that you have referred in your news columns proudly and, of course, just y so to the near completion of the Ilwaco Railway extension to Megler's opposite Astoria. "We frequenters of North Beach have waited long years for this same extension, with a hope of a further ex tension up the Columbia; also with a stronger hope that when the time schedule should be made public we should be much rejoiced because we could run over to Astoria and return to our beach homes on the same day. But lo and behold the disagreeable and disgraceful fact is to be forced upon us that we are to be caged up at the beach points as of yore, except, with an uglier show of ill will on the part of the I. R. Co. and its parent, the 0. R. N. "Full and complete arrangements appear to have been made for the Portlanders and Astorians to come to the beach and return home the same day; but taking the beach end as a starting point it is impossible for 'man or dog' to get out and back be tween sunrise and sundown. And this, by the way, promises to be the ar rangement not so much for the pur pose of 'rubbing it in' on Portlanders and Astorians, who become beach people as soon as they arrive here, but because of the fear that 'Jim' Hill and his lines might accidentally catch a dollarwhich same dollar has so long been spiked down by the 0. R. X. and its offshoots. "There are many reasons why we beach people would like to visit As toria, perhaps a couple of times a week, if the run could be made both ways the same day; and many of us, even now, spend 24 hours, or more, to go over to do such shopping as a city of Astoria's size and advantages affords. "It will only take the secretary or manager of your Chamber of Com merce a minute to see that he has been overlooking a rich resource for Astoria when he has failed to discern the possibilities in a commercial way NTorth Beach holds for Astoria. There should be full and free communication facilities between these points over here and your own awakening As toria, and the popular pen that per petually prods the Portland Oregonian can do much for us. Help us along. "A READER." Whoopinf Cough. "In February our daughter had the whooping cough.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS A Kimono Mystery On the night of September first, of last year ,a certain well known young lady, of this city, upon retiring for the night, and with due forethought of her early morning attire, hung a brilliant red kimono at the head of her bed with the last waking conviction to use it when she arose. When she did arise the flaming garment had dis appeared, completely, without sign, trace, or later development; and it remained hidden beyond the utmost and ultimate effort of the entire fam ily to locate it from that hour until its owner, on awakening yesterday H H THEJEWEL With Moving Pictures and Illus- trated Songs X IS NOW OPEN Performances at The Bijou Dream has been discontinued Cor. i ith Commercial fOPPnQTTTf.

THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. FRIDAY, MAY 15, 1908, LAND RESOURCES Second Day's Session of Cov ers' Conference PAPERS READ BY EXPERTS Addresses Made by James J. Hill, Prof. T. C Chamberlain and ex Governor Pardee of California, Fol lowed by General Discussion. WASHINTON, May 14. -The second day's conference at the white louse between President Roosevelt and the governors of t,he various states and territories for the conser vation of natural recources of the country met this morning at ten o'clock. President Roosevelt opened when le called Governor Johnson to pre side. Perhaps the most distinguished speaker was James J. Hill, chairman o fthe Board of Directors of the Great Northern railroad on "The Natural Wealth of the Land and Its Conserva tion." Then followed addresses by Prof. T. C. Chamberlain of Chicago, president of the American Association for the "Advancement of Science, on Soil Wastage," and R. A. Long of Kansas City on "Forest Conserva tion." A general discussion of the subjects of addresses was then begun, in which a number participated. At the afternoon session, "Land Re sources" will be the theme of discus sion. Addresses will be made by Former Governor of Caliofrnia Geo. C. Pardee on "Resources Related to Irrigation," and b ythe president of the American National Livestock As sociation. A.' H. Jastro of Bakers field, Cal., on "Grazing and Stock raising." The general discussion of these subjects will be opened by Former U. S. Senator Joseph M. Carey of Cheyenne, Wyo. Gifford Pinchot, chief of the bureau of for estry, will give a reception tonight to meet the governors and the mem bers of the Inland Waterways Com mission. WASHINGTON, May 14.-Strat-ling was the warning sounded today at the conference of the governors of the danger that the nation confronts in soil waste and forest depletion. Gov ernors listened and talked and ap plauded but took no action. This is left for tomorrow, the last day of con ference and the plan is afoot to have prepared for that day and printed in the record without reading in order that time may be wholly devoted to results. The resolution committee was in session all day and will report tomorrow. Committe consisting of governors of Kentucky, Missouri and Nebraska was appointed to bring in suggestion for permanent organiza tion for permanent organization of governors independent, perhaps of any other organization which may de- lelop as a result of conference. The president opened both morning and aftrnoon presided over by Governor Johnson of Minnesota and Governor Deenen of Illinois, respectively. J. J. Hill, president of the Great Northern aRilroad who led a long list of speakers treated the depletion of nation's resources in very serious and impressive manner. The issue was squarely joined as to the methods pursued by the govern ment in the region of the forest re serves by the governors of Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana. A general reply to the criticisms made by gover nors was made by Secretary Garfield. By Ex-Gov. C. Pardee. Ex-Gov. Pardee spoke of the states, rivers and forests. He said forestry problems of the Southern part of the state consist of the planting of new, rather than in the preservation and conservation of ex isting forests. Its water problem, de pendent upon that of re-forestration, consists in creating new natural forest-litter reserves for the retention of the melting snows and rains, which tinder present conditions, run off the bare mountains in floods to the ocean. In Northern California the stream and ceived that the sources of the vital forest problems consist entirely, or supplies are still adequate and likely practically so, in protection, preserva- to continue so for years, that the re tion and conservation. gulative system is still in effective Upon the solving of these problems,control and that a vast future of habi he said, depended these important tability may fairly be predicted, sub- Carta Biliousness, Sick Headache, Sour Stom ach, Torpid Liver and c nSSSST Laxative Fruit Syrup T.F.LAUREN OWL DRUG STORE. matters for the future of the state: electric power, irrigation, navigation of rivers, reclamation of swamp and overflowed river lands, lumber and timber. The streams from which power may be obtained have been, within the last few years, filed upon in such numbers, under the lax laws of California and the United States that the fear is ex pressed in many sections that the power has been already pretty well taken up. Many of these filings are for purely speculative purposes; others are for future development; but com paratively few of them, not more than a dozen or IS are actually being used or in process of preparation of utiliza tion. The fear is becoming prevalent that the acquisition of these water rights by private persons or corpora tions will lead monopolies and over capitalizations, and that in this way these great and most important natur al resources will not be at the chief disposal of the people. The action of the United States Government, how ever, in regulating the use of the streams, ought to prevent an absolute and oppressive monopolization of them. A start has been made by the state toward an efficient forset service. It is not yet what it should be, but a be ginning has been made and quite a number of those who formerly waste fully destroyed lumber on their lands and left it bare and fire-baked are be ginning to appreciate the necessity and economy of scientific lumbering and forest protection. Because the state is now but thinly populated, having only two million people on one million acres of terri tory her natural resources have not been, as in some other states, nearly, if not quite annihilated; nevertheless, her people have made quite extensive inroads on her forests. Because ofiyiceable to ourselves and our suc the fact that unforested lands have cessors? Clearly we may use the pro- been more than sufficient for the sup port of her population, California has not been compelled as other states have been, to sacrifice her forests in order to gain land for farming pur- poses. The destruction ot ner lorests has resulted only from careless and prodigal commercial operations upon them together with fires resulting from these operations or carelessly set for other purposes. In Oregon, Washington and California the na tion's future store of timber is situat ed. Both in quality and quantity the Pacific Coast states are possessed of the most valuable arboreal asset of the United States. Here, then is of fered the best field for the interposi tion, between extermination ana pre servation, of the benevolence of the federal government for the future, the immediate future, beneficial to the people of the whole United States. Here also is the government's best opportunity to set itself between the rapactity of private monopoly in these national resources and the people. As the coal and petroleum produc tion both decrease, the absolute need of the preservation, conservation and protection from monopoly of the wat er power in the country will become, and is becoming, more and more ap parent. Professor Thomas C. Chamberlain, of the University of Chicago, read a paper on Soil Wastage. He said in part: To give thought to the future ap peals to me with peculiar force, be cause recent studies have led me to the belief that the earth's future habi tability is vastly greater than we have been wont to believe. It is a common conception that the earth sprang from chaos at the beginning of our era and is plunging on to catastrophe a final winter in the near future, but I have come to believe that the earth arose from regenerative process and offers a fair prospect of habitability for tens of millions of years to come. If this be true; it is eminently fit that our race should give thought to the dis tant results of its action. It is also a new conception of geology that cli matic conditions have been much like the present from early eras, in spite of some notable variations, and that this generally uniformity is the result of a profound regulative system which has kept the temparatures andt he con stitution of the earth's atmosphere within the narrow range congenial to life for many millions of years. As a result there has been no complete break in land life since it came into being years ago. It is further con- ject only tci some contigencies of dis surbing approach or collision with celestial bodies. It is familiar geologic doctrine that for years rains have fallen on the sur face and soils have been produced by rock decay, while the surface has been washed away. Soil-production and soil removal have run hand in hand, and yet so controlled by nature's ad justmeuts that no large part of the surface ha been swept bare enough to altogether exclude vegetation More than this, it appears that the us ual adjustments of nature make rather for increased fertility of soil than ile pletion. It is true that at times tie formations have intervened, giving mountainous heights and precipitous surfaces from which the soil-product has been washed faster than it could be produced; and desert conditions have also intervened locally; but these diastrophic effects arc perhaps rather rejuvenations necessary to the pre servation of the continents than des tractive episodes, Whenever such heights and slopes have been raised, the atmosphere and its waters have at once began to grade them down, to cover them with soil and to give them a new habitability. So in this and other ways, the gifts of the great past shape themselves as products of marvelous system of control that has checked excesses and forced move ment toward the golden means m which have lain productivity and con geniality to life. Thus has come our inheritance of a land suitable for vegetation, of a soil-mantle of great fertility, of a precipitation conducive to productiveness; of a system of streams endowed with great possibi litics of water-foods, of water power, and of stream-navigation. How shall we cooperate with nature in rendering conditions still more ser- pcr revenues of our inheritance, but surely we should not rob our succes sors of their share in it. To answer this fundamental problem, let us turn at once to the basal factors, rainfall, soil-formation, and soil-wastage. The rainfall is to be regarded as an inherit ed asset; the soil is clearly an inher ited asset; even a littlt soil-removal may be regarded an advantage, but reckless oil-wastage is a serious er ror. Soils are the product of the at mosphere and its waters modifying the rock surface. When they have aided the air in producing soil by rock de cay, the atmosphcreic waters may either pass into plants or back to the surface and out by evaportation, or they may pass on down to the ground waters, and thence into the streams, furnishing there the basis for water foods, for water-power, and for stream-navigation. Here is a good work, soil-production, followed by ad vantageous courses of the water both up and down. On the other hand water may rush away as a foul erosive flood on the surface, wasting soil and plant food, gullying the surface, flood ing the valleys, fiilling the reservoirs, sweeping out dams, barring the streams and clogging the deltas. If it shall be found that nearly all the rainfall should go into the soil, coming out thence slowly and steadily into the streams, clean and pure, these should present nearly ideal conditions for water-food, for water-power am for stream-navigation. The ideaVsohi' tion of the soil problem may there' fore solve the greater part of the whole complex of problems. The soil-problem may thus prove to be the key problem To see this more definitely, we must turn to details, but with brevity and omissions. While soils are formed by the atmosphere and its waters acting upon the rock, soil surfaces are car ried away by wind and wash. At any moment, then the depth of soil meas ures the lag of production behind re moval, and it is clear that the best re suits spring from the proper ratio of addition at the bottom to wastage at the surface. We have no accurate measure of the rate of soil-production but it is clear ly very slow. While it varies directly for different kinds of rock and for partially reduced rock, the usual es timate is a foot in 4000 to 6000 years, which includes channel cutting, etc. This is doubtless too high for soil production alone. I should hesitate to name a rate greater than one foot in 10,000 years on the basis of observa tion. If we allow 40,000 years for the four feet of soil next the rock it is probably none too conservative. To maintain a good working depth, sur face wastage should then not exceed (Continued on page 7) Cleanses the system thoroughly and clears sallow complexions of pimples and blotches.

"It'a this way," explained Nell Judi ciously, seeing bis bewilderment "I llko you, Harry, but you are ao differ ent now. When you were a boy there was no one who could beat you In a skating race, and you used to go down Deeman's bill faster than any of the others. Now you're afraid to coast" "I'm not afmid," denied Grlswold. "I don't want to; that's all. I bare found other amusements." Nell smiled and changed tho subject, and Grlswold went home feeling miser able. Ho loved Nell, and this refusal was a blow to his heart and bis pride. It wns Ben who tugged Nell's sled up Bcemuu's hill the following after noon and found Grlswold gloomily re garding tho coasters. The hill swung la a rough half circle down the steep declivity. Usually the roadway was beaten Into a glare of Ice by the coast ers, for It was the only good coasting place In the neighborhood. From the brow of the hill the entire road could be observed. All summer Henry Beeman bud been cutting the thick growth of pines which bad cover ed the hillside, and now only a broad expanse of glistening snow crust dotted with tbo plno stumps remained. It was a pretty spectacle, and Grls wold enjoyed It lu spite of the evident favor with which Nell regarded Bon. who accompanied her lis her dashes downhill and the walk back iifrnln. with Nell walking by his side. Nomi nally Noll's sled was her Bister's, and Ben's was supposed to be the property of his little cousin, but those two youngsters had little use of tlielr pos sessions. The sun was dlpplnjr toward the hills on the other sklo of tho valley nud most of tho coasters had gone home when Nell Bettlod herself for her last ride. Ben had stopped to tie his shoe laces, and Null looked over ber shoul der. "Who catches may keep," she ealled ivi ootimred momentum. Ben urn tu .iou, sprang to ti 1m feet and ran for bis sled, throwing himself upon It and starting oft at a terrllle pace. Grlswold gave one glance at tba Hy ing "figure "far ahead, lie know that Ben's alcd was not as good a Nell's and that be would not catch her until she reached the bottom of tho Incline. There was just one chance for blm self, and, throwing off hi coat be caught up the pointer that Jlmmle Sweeney bad JiiNt brought up to tbo top of the bill. At the foot of tbo field was a place where two length of the fence bad fallen In, and there were two or three similar breaks where be stood. It was (ho work of an Instant to step through one of these and throw himself face downward upon tho sled. Ktcerlng with both bands and foot Grtswold shot down the steep declivity. It was several years since bo had been on a sled, but it all catuo back to him, and with a skill that was the talk of tho bill for the remainder of tho season ho steered his flying sled In and out be tween the stumps, shaving the bark hero and dodging a trunk there just as a fractured skull seemed Imminent It took but a few seconds to accom plish the Journey, but to Grlswold It seemed years before he shot through tbo opening of tho fence and with a last terrific effort swung himself into tho road. Just abend were the smart gray jack et and saucy little bat that be was pur suing, and us bo shot past be caught tho runner of Nell's sled. "Who catches may keep,'" bo quot ed as he steered the two sleds Into tho aofter snow besldo the road to permit Ben to pass them. "How did you do It?" demanded Nell wondcrlngly. "Bid you think It would bo BenT bo countered. Tbe girl shook ber bead. "I wanted to see If you would make an effort" she explained shyly. "All the way down I beard Ben shouting, and I waa afraid that bo was alone." "Ho was," explained Grlswold. "I came the abort way." Nell looked at tbe runner marks where Grlawold had como through tho break In tbo fence and then at the stump dotted bill. "You camo straight downr she gasped. "It waa tho only way." be said quiet ly. "Ben already bud a lead on tbe road, and I knew that I should have to take tbe short cut In order to beat him." Nell looked blm over sternly. Tbo thin leather of bis shoes waa cut and torn, and here and there was a rent In bis clothing where bo had struck a tree. Tho gloves bung in shreds from the scratched hands, and bis necktie waved under bis left ear. "You go back and get your coat" she commanded, "and then we'll go borne and tell mother and Harry. I'm awful ly glad that you win," she added as be turned away to oln-y the command. "I didn't think you would, but I never dreamed you would come tbo short way. No one has dared before." "No one else had you at the end of tho slide," be explained, with a boppy laugb, as she slipped her band In hii and they started up the bill after bis coat LAND RESOURCES other's gain, but all too frequently one's lout is another's disaster. From a study of toils, it becomes clear that the key to the problem lies in the control of the water which falls on each acre. Thin water-fall is an asset of great possible value; saved if turned where it will do good, lost if permitted to run away, doubly lost if it carries away also soil that, on the average in our domain, crops can use to profit all the rainfall during the growing season and much or all of that which can be carried over from the non-growing seasons. This great ly simplifies the complex problem, for the highest crop values will usually be gained when the soil is made to ab sorb the largest part of the total rain fall and snowfall. In securing this, there will be the least run-off and sur face wash. Obviously, then, the high est solution of the problem by the tiller of the soil essentially solves the whole train of problem. How is this control to be effected? All the known and tried methods of preventing wash and turning the I fall into the soil should be employed (to the utmost. It is obvious that all methods of culture and all crops that inrrr.Kr ihr irnnularit v and nnroaitv of the soil contribute to the end i sought. Deep tilth to promote soil 'granulation and deep rooting plants to form root-tubes are specific modes of great value. Artificial and undcrdrain- age by preventing water-logging and (promoting granulation aids the end sought. Contour cultivation by ar resting and distributing the surface wash may also assist. Alternate strips of protected and cultivated land, reservoirs for catching and distribut ing concentrated rainfall, and other divides, serve to limit the wash of the slopes and give the surface waters the right direction. It is possible that some of the more radical and permanent remedies will be found by a closer study of nature's methods. Nature has been working at this complex problem of balance be tween soil formation, soil waste, sur-, face slope, plant growth, and stream development for millions of years. Looking closely at her methods we note that she uses a much larger va riety of plants to cover and protect the soil than we do. These plants have a wider range of adaptation to the special situations where protection is needed. We may therefore inquire whether we should not follow this precedent further by developing more kinds of profitable plants and by using the protective varieties more freely on slopes especially subject to wash. The present profitable forest trees are a resource of this kind to be employed to the utmost We also have many shrubs, vines and fruit trees whose employment on wash areas is urged, both alone and in con- (Continued from page C) some such rate as one inch in a thousand years. At any rate, surface wastage must be very slow unless as it is to out-run soil production and lead to the loss of the body of the soil. Surface wastage is therefore a serious menace to the retention of our soils under present modes of manage ment. Historical evidence enforces this. In the Orient, there arc large tracts almost absolutely bare of soil on which formerly bore flourishing populations. Much more than simple loss of fertility is here meanced; it is the loss of the soil-body itself, a loss almost beyond repair. The immense tonnage of soil material carried out to sea annually by our rivers is an im pressive warning of the danger of ex cessive soil-wastage. Nor is this all; the ash from one acre often covers the fertile portion of another acre or of several. Sometimes one's loss is an- junction with trees, However, a large part of the berries and fruits now used are perishable and have limitations of preservation, transportation, market, etc. If additional shrubs could be evolved by modern selective methods, whose nut-meats or dried-seeds should be made available instead of the wat cry pulp, and which could be handled much as cereals are and have similar wide, year-around markets, there would be a larger choice of crops to grow on soils subject to wash. There would be less pressure to cultivate the cereals on all available soils and they might be limited to surface less sub ject to destructive wash. Another of nature's marked methods is the use of plant societies or combi nation crops, No doubt there is much crowding and repressive rivalry among natural mixtures of plant, but there seems also to be associations that are mutually beneficial. Cannot greater advantages be taken of the combina tion method? It is clear that legumes and cereals are helpful associates in rotation and in some combinations. May not the principle be pushed much further by the modern processes of selection and culture, so that legumes and cereals could be made more inti mate companions in cultivation, indeed so that such helpful associates might replace weeds as the spontaneous companions of the crops we cultivate? Certainly much can be done by using such plants as fall, winter and spring crops, to cover the soil when spec ially exposed to wastage? These and similar devices may be used to reduce the bare surfaces so much developed by present modes of cultivation, and may make it possible to cover perma nently by profitable portecting crops the slopes where surface wash is most menacing. Can such modes of soil manage ment and crop selection be made to give reasonable profits when the long er stages, say the long run of a life time, are considered? This must be answered by those whose knowledge of tbe practical art of tillage fits them to answer; but it is clear that if such protective measures are not profitable now, they will soon become so, for if the loss of soil proceeds at the present rate and the number of inhabitants continue to increase as now, the value of the residue of tillable soil which will remain after a few centuries will be so great as to force extreme meas ures for its conservation. The pitiable struggles of certain oriental peoples to retain and cultivate the scant rem nants of once ample soils is both an example and a warning. Our escape from such a struggle should spring from a longer forevision, a deeper in sight, greater skill and indefatigable industry. Suscribe for the Morning Astorian, 60 cents per month.

NEW YORK, May 14 Following the Pacific Coast tryouts which were leld at Stanford University in Cali fornia, members of the Olympic com mittee are jubilant over the fact that everything now points to a winning team to represent the United States in London in July. The only thing that is worrying us sow," said James E. Sullivan, secre tary of the committee, "is the picking f the team. That is a hard problem. Within the past month reports have Seen received from all over the coun try stating that some athlete has been breaking world's records in practice. If these reports are true there will be many upsets when all the tryouts are held, and perhaps some of those who were looked on as sure winners will f necessity be left at home. "Of course this will not happen if VREEL AND BILL Put Through the House Under a Special Rule WILLIAMS REFUSED HIS BILL When it Goes to the Senate Aldrich Will Call a Meeting of the Finance Committee and All House Amend ments Will be Eliminated. We Fit mm WASHINGTON, May 14. -The Vreeland currency bill was today put through the house under a special rule by a vote of 184 to 14S. Fifteen of the so-called insurgents of the ma jority party voted with the Democrats who went on record solidly against the measure. The closing moments of the debate were replete with excite ment and republican enthusiasm caus ed by the refusal of a great majority of the democrats to go on record for the Williams bill, which had been offered by Kahn, of California, as a substitute for Vreeland bill, in accordance with the well laid plan of the majority leaders to ascertain where the demo crats stood on the proposition, which it was claimed by several was sup ported by Bryan. Ninety-three demo crats voted "Present" which aroused the republicans to a high state of hi larity at the expense of the minority.

While reports of wonderful feats have been received here, experts who have heard thousands of these reports before claims it was seasoned cham pion who will perform best and win nt when the proper time comes. They say they cannot see how such men as Shaw of Dartmouth and For est Smithson are going to lose in the Sigh hurdles. Martin W. Sheridan with the discus, Melvin Sheppard, in the middle distance; Grath and Flani gan in the weight events; Glamor in the quarer mile; Dray of Yale in the pott -vault; Porter in the high jump; 3b- Emery in the standing jump; Bel lars and Bonhagi in the distance runs; Dan Kelley in the broad jump; James Sullivan, in the mile run; Coe and Rose in the shotput and Garrets in any of the specialties he trains for and competes in. All of these have consistently and persistently shown form that stands out by itself and trainers claim noth ing less than serious accidents can prevent them from making the team. In the Marathon race, America is iy no means left in the ruck. Within the past year this country has devel oped long distance runners that are fcy no means below the average. Mr. Sullivan, believes we have a grand chance of eapturing that event this year. Up to yesterday more than $11,000 had been subscribed to carry the team abroad and Mr. Sullivan ex pects to have at least $15,000 by June 15. Judging that it will cost each man Xrom $300 to $320 for expenses from the time he leaves New York this amount will enable the committee to pick from 40 to 50 Men. With this number every member of the com mittee is sanguine of success. The committee has decided to hold the wrestling tryouts on May 26 and 27, instead of May 25 and 26. In all prob ability these tryouts wil only take one night as the fact that only native born or fully naturalized citizens of Ameri ca are eligible will keep a number of entries away. pccially authorized to do As soon as bill reaches the senate, Aldrich will call a meeting of the finance committee to consider it. It is expected that the committee will vote unanimously to amend the house measure by striking out all amend ments after enacting a clause and in serting the provisions of the bill which was passed by the senate. It is not doubted the senate will approve of the action of committee. The ef fect of this could be to send both the Vreeland and the Aldrich bills to a conference. SEARCHING FOR INCENDIARYj CHICAGO, May 14. Detectives in the employ of Chicago Board of Edu cation are searching for an incendiary who attempted to burn the Clarke public school, containing 1600 children at Ashland avenue and West Thir teenth street. The fire which started at the foot of one of the stairways, on Monday, was discovered in time to prevent the spread of the flames. The lower steps of the stairway had been saturated with kerosene and basket of shavings and paper set afire. The flames had not yet caught the oil-soaked wood when the alarm was given. In the building there are 30 school rooms. Three rooms are filled with deaf and dumb pupils and two score blind student are scatered through the various grades. The attempt to fire the building was discovered by one of the mutes. Terrified, he ran back to the school room, grabbed Miss Martin, the head teacher in the deaf and dumb --department, by the skirts, and dragged her to the top of the landing. Miss Mar tin called the janitor, and the fire was extinguished. No fire alarm was sounded and but few of the children in the school knew anything about the tragedy that threatened them. That the attempt to murder of innocents was perpetrated wilfully, princpal and teachers and members of the school board do not doubt. Rebekah Meeting.
