Speculation or“Bear” the narket—
Hotda lilf Own In Senate "
That a new star of the first magni-
tude has arisen in the firmament ol
v the United States Senate - In the
person of Robert L- Owen Senator
from the youngest State Oklahoma
was the general verdict yesterday
after he bad concluded his first
speech in that body
Senator Owen addressed the
Senate on the Aldrich bill and be
held the undivided interest of Sen-
ators and spectators for two hours
and a half During that time he
maintained with credit to himself
and not without discomfiture to
some of his interrogators a debate
with half a dozen of the ablest Sen-
ators os the ifloor
He Showed that he had the sci-
ence of finance at his finger tips
and that he had made a deep study
of the question in addition to an
extended experience as a practical
banker Cool and sell possessed
he invited interruption at the out-
set of his remarks and volunteered
the information that he would wel-
come questions along the line of
the subject he was discussing
GALLERIES APPLAUD A THRUST
The galleries were crowded
! throughout the time the Senator
occupied and when he made the
’ point against a question" which
Sehator Hopkins asked him that
the question ' ingeniously involved
larger number of immaterial prop-
ositions' the spectators applaud-
ed vigorously until admonished by
the Vice-President that further de
monstrations of that nature would
result in the galleries being cleared
The ' Senator’s one eighth ol
' Cherokee blood which is indicated
in his high cheek bones and the
contour of bis face seems also to
have endowed him with courage
which is unusual in a “new" Sen-
ator His attack upon the Aldrich bill
was direct bold and unsparing
and he addressed himself during
much of his remarks directly to
Senator Aldrich
The principal changes in the
Aldrich bill for which Senator Ow-
' cp contended were the insurance ol
non-interest-bearing deposits' of na-
tional banks the keeping “at
home” of the reserves of banks not
located in central reserve cities
and provisions making impossible
the participation of banks in the
operations of the stock and futures
markets He explained and de-
fended bis proposal regarding the
Insurance of bank deposits by
means of a fund created by a charge
on the banks so insured aad be
severely arraigned Wall street anc

bankers who lend tbe funds of their
banks to themselves for speculating
purposes — -Washington Herald

“SYSTEM LIKE GREAT SPONGE
He made an elaborate argument
against stock gambling lie de
clared that under : the present sys-
tem the mania for stock gambling
had spread into every village and
hamlet in the country
“The men in control of this evil”
he continued “have built op
great system which has taken the
form of a great sponge by which
they simply absorb' the earnings of
the middle classes and poor and
squeeze the contents Into their cof
fora” 4

Dear sir:— For the information of
tbd general publio I desire to say that
Senate bill No 1518 introduced by
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
which was a bill to amend Section
3893 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States by adding “and when
issue of any periodical has been de
clared non mailable by the Postoffice
Department the periodical may be ex
eluded from second-class mail privi-
leges at the discretion of the Post-
master General” was reported on the
6th Of this month adversely by Sen-
ator Penrose The reason it was re-
ported adversely was because a pro-
test kgainst its enactment was madu
by the Democrats iu both branches of
Congress and by the good - people
throughout tbe United States As 1
am receiving many letters daily re-
garding this bill and requesting me to
resist the passage of the same I write
this statement as you to give it publi-
cation so that the good people of my
district may know that tbe effort
made to incorporate into the laws of
the United States such an unjust un-
fair and unwise provision as was at-
tempted in this bill will not meet with
the sanction of any liberty loving or
lawabiding citizen If enacted into a
law it would hare given the Post-
master General absolute authority to
say what should paseM through the
mail and io' my opinion was aimed at
publications publishei by labor organ-
izations and inch 'Other organizations
as send their periodicals through the
mails protesiihg'agaiust unjust legis-
lation and discrimination against or-
ganized labor ' ' M ' ’ V

New National Forest Proclaimed In
" Arkansas
Washington March— The Presi-
dent has just signed a proclamation
creating the Uzark National Forest
in the northwestern part of the State
of Arkansas The Ozark and the
Arkansas National Forest which was
created in December last form the
two eastern-most National Forests
The new forest has an area of nearly
920000 acres and is located in John-
son Newton Searcy Hope and Van
luren counties on the divide between
tbe Arkansas and White rivers It
includes the Boston Mountains and
other ridges along tbe southern ex-
tremity of the Ozark Range of Mis-
ouri '
The area included in the new Ozark
forest is natural forest land for the
most psrt ’ covered with unbroken
stands of hardwood and shortleaf pine
Oak hickory eim gnm maple
and ash are the predominating trees
while the pine is found in limited
areas in the southeastern part of the
forest
The timber is estimated to be worth
not less than $1500000 just as it
stands and may bring $1000000 if
properly handled as the people of the
country who are now selling the tim-
ber do not realize the value of their
possessions and are accepting $150
per thousand board feet and in some
cases $300 to $500 per acre The
stands on the forest run all the way
from nothing up to 12000 feet per
acre averaging about 3000 feet iu
merchantable timber The value of
tbe timber is conservatively placed at
$3 00 to $500 per thousand feet It
is estimated that there is not less
than one-half billion feet of hardwood
saw timber alone besides a vast amount
of timber suitable for railroad ties
handles spokes and wagon stock and
timber which is not now cat except
for fuel blit which will later become
merchantable as the shortage of hard
wood Increases 2T
1 The ' destruction of the timber
threngh fire has reduced the value of
much of the land and in many places
the slopes are washed so badly that
the soil has lost much of its power to
produce timber It is thought how-
ever that under careful management
most of these areas can in time be
reforested
Samuel J Record Supervisor of
the Arkansas National Forest will
also be in charge of the Ozark and
will continue to have his headquarters
at Ft Smith It is thought that he
will have four to six guards added to
his force to begin the administration
of the new forest in addition to those
who have been appointed on the Ar-
kansas National Forest These men
will be natives of the State
The Ozark and Arkansas Forests
will give the State a total National
Forest area of nearly 20'))000 acres
bat all of the land is not under gov
eminent control as considerable areas
have been taken op under various
claims The creation of the Ozark
National Forest has put another
relacively small tract of the immense
forest area of the Mississippi Valley
under a system of managerbent ac
cording to the principles of scientific
forestry The work on the forest
will serve as an object lesson of con
servative lumbering and will Barely be
watched with interest by private o ro-
ars of large tracts of forest Ian
Other parts of the Mississippi Valley
Tbe headwaters of Buffalo Fork
White River aud Little Red River
are included iu the Oz irk Forest
well as numerous smaller streams
On account of the more frequeat 00
currency of fire and the larger area
of denuded land on the sooth side the
streams are nearly all muddy testify
ing to the rapid erosion which is
marked contrast to the clear spark
ling water of Buffalo Fork At the
present time the streams are not ns
ed for developing water power but in
all probability they will be of great
importance for this use ' in the hear
future
May Trade Counties

scramble for choice seats

able for agriculture and not needed
for administrative purposes that were
unavoidably included within the
boundaries of this forest upon appli-
cation will be listed by the Secretary
of Agricultnre with the Secretory of
the Interior for settlement under the
homestead laws
The new forest brings the total
area of the National Forests in the
