We ought to feel a great deal of interest in the Protective Associations here because the movement really commenced with us. In 1906 in Idaho the Co-operative Timber Owners' Association started, and soon grew to four in northern Idaho, and spread from there to the State of Washington, and in Idaho and Wash- ington, we fairly had only begun, when it was decided that the move- ment should be combined in the various States, interested at that time, and a sort of alliance was formed of which I was placed in charge.
