IRInglng praises for the work nc- oinpllalied during Mnrshfleld's first nctunl Clcan-up day are being heard on all aides today. A survey of the city shows that much was done yes terday and, if one lias not made the 3iirvoy to find out for himself, ho has only to ask the fellows who worked and sec their facial expres sions of pain as they try to raise their nrnis tills morning.

Much has been said and printed about tho disposition of the O. & C. grant lands which are now attract iug much attention. Tho vlow of tho lumber industry Is of Interest. Tho following on tho subject ap peared editorially in the West Coast Lumberman, of Seattle: Congress, this session, must do tcrmino tho final disposition of two million throo hundred thousand acres of Oregon & California rail way grant lands. The railroad com pany has equities which demand ear ly adjustment. It is, a big problem which may bo solved either through private sales for speculative pur poses; or allowing tho government to carry tho timber, marketing tho stumpage as it may bo required in lumber manufacture. Cnt'rjing Charge Big. Present largo timber holdings in Oregon and Washington wore blocked In the fifteen years pro ceding 1010, and much of the cap ital Invested was nt rates of from six to ton per cont. As valuos -on theso purchases multiplied, the rep resented capitalization increased pro portionately. The annual carrying charge now averages seven per cent on the first cost, with tho result t'hat a yearly carrying chnrgo, com pounded, doubles tho cost of tho In vestment every eight or ton years.

With tlio railroad a mile and a half away from them, the people of Oardluor are fighting hard to secure a county load to tho station on tlio north sldo of tlio Umpquu, ucocrding to J. l Austin, editor of tho Uinpqtia Courier. Do said only yesterday a deputation 0f cltl zent went out to Itoseburg to ask tlio I)ougla3 county court for aid. Now confidence has arisen on tho Umpqua now that tho ?1!00,000 jetty bond Ishiio Iiiih passed and Mr. Austin bclievis that work will bo well under way by tho latter part of July. Ah It Is, tlio bar channel at tho mouth of tho river Is constantly Hhlftlng. Ho 3ald that at times it la uri feet deep and tlion aguln a few hours later may bo no mora than 1.2 foot on tho bar. With tho Jetty, it s holloved a certain dopth of water can bo maintained. 'And In tlio meantime,' ho added, "our hardest work Is to keep Coos Bay from adopting tlio Umpqua country."

Tho largest crowd tho city 'lias over had was out to moot tho train when It aril veil from Coos Day. It was n groat time, for It meant tho beginning of connections between tho Umpqua rlvor and Coos Day on tho south and Kugono and Portland on tho north. All who went from hero to mako tlio trip to Uoodsport wero pleased with the reception given them there. Tlio train arrived in tlmo for noon dinner and tho visitors wora do lighted when taken to the canuory which had been cleaned out anil equipped with tables to -scat -TiO people. A big chicken dinner was sorved nnd ovoryono was maclo to fed at homo. Warron Hoods, of ltecdnport, camo down on tlio return trip and will ho horo a day or two. Ho was accompanied by Wnltor Mackay of Portland, who Is Interested with Mr. Hood In tho waterworks nnd In other concerns nt the Umpqua.

On a low market there always Is wasteful utilization. Tlmbor sim ply cannot bo hold In big blacks whoro capital demands an nuuual roturn of bIx per cont or over. All things considered, It therefore may bo unwise to ndd this fifty billion foot of O. & C. grant tlmbor to the bunion which tho Industry now car ries, for, without tho requirement for Immcdlato manufacture, tho tlm bor would bo bid In nt low prices for speculative purposes, accentuat ing tho Industrial Instability of re cent years.
