Dogs in the manger are in evi dence in Lake County in numbers, but their bark can do little harm to the town of Silver Lake for it has an era of prosperity marked for it that cannot be stopped. The selection of the Three Sisters as the eoming season's outing point bv the Mazamas was a good one. It will give the people who make this trip an opportunity to see ft section of country that is lit tle known, which possesses ttlany features of interest, Bv another teuton it is thought that the Co lumbia Southern railroad will be I completed to Bend, which would make the trip much easier, but that is not what the Mazamas are are looking for.

Tho "official history" of the See ond Oregon Regiment which was criticised by Senators Fulton and Smith during the recent session of the legislature, a poor excuse for what it is intended and for which thP state mid liberally. The hos pital records seem to be its chief feature for the enlisted man, while glowing tributes are paid the com missioned officers. The real work of the file is conspicuously over looked, and is a book to be handed down to future generations. We believe the history prepared by Adjutant General C. U. Ganlen bein would be a disgrace to many men who were brave dutiful sol diers, but who were unfortunate in incurring guard house terms or hospital records. Tiiese hitter we find are very inaccurate also. Let us have another history, that will give credit where it he longs or else let us. destroy the ones that are printed for they are ' anything but what they are labell ed "a history of the Second Ore gon Regiment in the Philippines." 1'oretlrr Kolet. The public forests in Sweeden cover 18,000,000 acres. Of this 12,500,000 acres are under scien , tific managment. There is a cen tral bureau of forestry with forestry corps at work in the fields. These field workers consist of nine in spectors, 88 chiefs of range, besides ' a large number of foresters and watchmen. The total income to the government from the state for ests amounted to more than 12,000 000 in 1899. y That trees, affect soil tempera r tures has been proved by many experiments in this country. In South Australia some observations showed that the temperature of the soil in a forest was 21 ie: cent lower than in the open field and that their temperature in the for est was 10 per cent lower. The effect of forests in thus equalizing the extreme summer heat is thus demonstrated Speaking of forert reserves, a Utah paper pays the people of that state are being taught that it is easier to get timber with forest. reserves than without them. Hie government aims to regulate, not stop the taking of timber. Slimy sheep-owr.era have been opposed to these reserves in the past, but they are learning better now. The sheep have boon destroying their own range during the past few years to sueh an extent that thoro will I no feed left for them if some 0111 does not take euro of it. The n servos are for tho good of every body, and the people are finding it out. Tho Columbia Southern, The annual report of thepresi dent of the Columbia Southern as given in the Oivgonian shows the affairs of the company to be in a prosperous condition. It covered the year ending June 30, 1002. On all'points except the outward movement of wheat the showing was better than for the previous year. The wheat yield of HKH was materially less than for the season before, leaving the railroad more than 14,000 tons less to move. This loss was reflected in the earn ings of the road. The statement of earnings, in round numbers, is as follows, comparison being made with the previous year: The number of tons of freight carried southward last year was 23,000 as against 20,000 for tho year before, and the north bound traffic was 46,000 tons, against 59, 000 for 1901. In 1901 20,566 pas sengers were carried and last year the number was 26,927, a gain of 6,361. The number of tons of wool carried last year was more than twice as great as for the year be fore, 2140, as against 1020. There was a gain of 700 tons, or 23 per cent, in the livestock carried. The cost of clearing wrecks for the en tire year was $44.15, and 1600 more is chargeable to loss and damage of all kinds. This record is believed to be unprecedented for a railroad of 7o miles. Taxes paid in 1901 aggregated 13300, a ad kit year 14500. ; In connection with tho fact that the number of passengers carried last year exceeded those of the year before by 6361, the further fact that the increase of lumber n-.;,l ;l .,.,.,),... ... 1 i:in imvj tliJ tMUHUJ ltd! 1,UW 010 feet more than in 1901 is deemed significant as showing set tlement and improvements. The gain since June 30th has been more rapid than before, too. In the past seven months the increase of passengers has been 4089, chief ly south bound, and the increase of passenger revenue in this period has been $9347. And the past February was the banner month for grain shipments, 222 carloads going out of Sherman county. Never before has the grain move ment been so late. Personality has done wonders with both heredity and environ ment. It has made moderate gifts and accomplished marvelous things. Men with moderate gifts, by pa tient and persistent application have put to shame the splendidly equipped, who have indolently frittered away their ' patrimony. Out of the most untoward sur roundings men have found their way to the grandest achievements. The boy from the log cabin has outstripped the boy from the pal ace. The barefooted boy has out stripped the boy of pampered in dulgence. The plodder has out stripped the genius. The tortoise has passed the hare. Whether the man lie richly endowed or moder ately endowed, his success will de pend on the use he makes of what God has given him. Independent. It is said that Miss Lang and M. T. Nolan, receiver and register of The Dalles Land Office will as sume their respective position about the 1st of April. It is indeed a fitting testimonial to Miss Lang's efficient service in Land office work, that she should l c advanced to her present position and she has a host of friends who are glad of h r deserved success. Mr. Nolan while not as well versed perhaps in land matters as Miss Lang, has every quality that goes to make a capable official, and the Journal predicts nothing but suc: cess for their administration Additional Lorala.

Tho oinmittee went over the road Wednesday with a view of recommending places needing im provement worst. Seven hundred dollars is a small amount in compari son to what will be needed to make the road what it had ought to be; stilLit is a step in the right direction, and shows a right spirit among our Antelope neighbors.

Too many school books, too many school studies, and too much work for tho pupils, and too much work for the teachers is the cry voiced by Senate Concurrent Reso lution')). 24, offered by Miller of Linn, and adopted. This resolu tion declares that, through the great press of studies attempted un der the Oregon law, proper educa tion of children along li njjs .that would prove most advantageous in active life is prevented. It also re cites that many families are kept constantly poor in their efforts to provide the varied and costly text hooks prescribed. It calls upon the State Hoard of Education to reduce tho nuiiilier of studies and devote more time to those branches of education which will prove of most direct benefit. NOTK'K K(U! ITlU.K'ATHiN.
