QOTD
The same destructive spirit which has robbed us of the buffalo, which is fast extirpating the elk and threatens to make the salmon extinct, works its wanton will with our forests. When at last we are without wild game, large or small, when our valuable food fish are exterminated, we shall all then by the rivers of Oregon sit down and weep in vain. And when our descendants are told what forests we had here and how we wasted them, they will wonder whether they ought to revere the wisdom of their fathers.
