MORE ABOUT THE RESERVE
One ot the objections to the reser
vation being pastured by sheep, and
the one most strenuously urged, is
that the sheepmen and their herders
set fire to the underbrush and destroy
vast bodies of timber for the purpose
of extending the area of their pastur
age "rounds. Coupled with this ob
jection is one, too, strongly urged,
but of minor importance to the first.
That the sheep browse on the under
brush is true, but that they do harm
thereby is not so certain. The sheep
do not go into the dense timber;
there is nothing for them there ; nor
do they penetrate the thick under
brush, where the same serves to pro
tect the snow. It is only in the
more or less open timber thnt'they
are herded, and they only browse the
underbrush where it is well scattered.
In the open glades wherever they go
they eat out the brush and grass, or
trample it so that lire will not run,
having nothing to teed upon, and so,
instead of being an injuiy, are in
that respect, at least, a benefit.
There was a case in point near
Johns' mill, back of this
summer. 11. II. Guthrie
pastured
his sheep around a lnOO-ncre tract
belonging to Mr. Johns. After he
left, fire broke out and ran through
the timber on the Johns tract, doing
considerable damage and destroying
1;10,000 feet of logs alreadv cut.
The fire burned over this tract, but
stopped on all sides where Guthrie's
sheep had pastured. The old settlers
along the range will, to a man, tell
you that owing to the sheep keeping
the brush on the hills eaten down,
and so preventing lires, thai the tim
ber line is moving .steadily down,
and in many places fine j'oung tim
ber is growing where there was none
before the iheep were pastured on
the lands.
As for the statement that sheep
men set fire to the timber, the proof
15 equally fallacious. It is claimed
that as soon as the sheepmen drive
their sheep over the feeding grounds
they set out fires.. "What we have
just said answers that proposition.
"Where the sheep have been, fire will
not run. Where, then, can these
men set fires? To suppose that the'
set them befoie the grass has been
eaten off is to brand them as idiots,
bent on destroying that which thev
had use for. The big forest fires do j
not occur in that portion of Oregon
where the sheep are pastured, but
they do occur from the burning of
the slashings of the settler, not set
for the purpose, but getting beyond
control. They oceut in those sec
tions where lumbering is carried on,
and the dry tops get on fire gener
ally through carelessness.
Along the trout streams, where a 1
sheep was never known to be,
more disastrous lires occur than in
the whole section pastured b' sheep,
and these fires are caused by nenlh
geuce. In that portion of the Gas- j
cades where the greater number of'
the sheep range there are no forest
fires at all, for the reason that there i
are no forests there, none that would J
burn even if set on fire. The higher
mountains are bare, or practically)
so. '
"Wo believe in protecting the for-1
ests, but we do not believe in ruin
ing the industries of Eastern Oregon
to satisfy the whim of people in the
iuist, who know but little about tlioii
own forests, and nothing about ours.
Congress will do well to open the
reservation, and by so doing save
from destruction the only interests of
the vast region along tiie eastern
slope of the Cascades.
The Oregoninn advises the DcmoJ
erats and Populists in the legisla
tures to stay with their own senato
rial nominee, and let the Republicans
light out its senatorial battle. This
is, perhaps, good advice, but it is not
the kind given only two short months
ago. "Wc fear when the Democrats
nrd Populists consider the advice in
the light of its source that they will
not heed it. With advice and cas
tor oil the statement that it is better
to give than to receive will be ac
cepted without demur.
Whatever else may be done with
the Cascade reserve, township one
south of range ten cast on Hood
river, should be taken out of it.
There arc now some thirty families
located in the township, and the bal
ance of it being withdrawn from set
tlement, leaves them in bad shape.
Thu land is nearlj' all the very best
for orchard purposes, has no timber to
amount to anything upon it, and
there is absolutely no reason for
withholding it from settlement.
.V Truiii-Mexlcan lliiail,
City of Mexico, Jan. 1. ll is stated
that C. P. Huntington has a corns of
engineers in the field making a prelimi
nary survey for a railroad from Tort
Alvarado, south of Vera Cruz, to the
port of Salina Cruz, on the Pacific, and
that, if he can secure advantageous
routes, he will ask the government for a
concession for tiie purpose of operating
the Hue in con auction with Pacific .Mail
steamers, doing away with thu Panama
route.

"The primary conditions of longev

F. W. Warner as saying, "aro that tho
heart, lungs and digestive organs, as
well as the brain, should ho large. If
these organs are large the trunk will
be long and the limbs comparatively
short. The porou will appear tall
in sitting and abort in standing. The
hand will have a long and somewhat
heavy palm and short lingers. The
brain will bo deeply seated, as shown by
the orifice of the ear being low. Tho

ia a favorable indication. Tho r.ostrT
being large, open, and free, indicate
large lungs. A pinched and kulf-ciosid
nostril indicates small or weak lungs.
"In the caisc of persons who have
short-lived parentage on one side anil
long-lived on tho ot.hc.r side the ques
tion becomes more involved. It i
shown in grafting by hybridizing tha
nature makes a supreme effort to ja-v

THE WITCH HAZEL.
Luit I'lunt of Uih Voir to I'ut Tortli It
i:iiiio:!)tf.
This peculiar plant, which, "amidst
the rfipnintr desolation of winter puts
tortli ii yellow blosvoir.iV thrives on
tiie sand hills along- the eastern idiore
oi l.iihe .Michigan. In this locality it ap
pears lo be the last u funis ;h reminder
of Hummer before the face of advancing
winter. In September, while the leaves
are st'.ll green, ;--ome of the bushes
may he found putting1 forth flowers;
hile in October, when entirely bare of
leaves, other bushes appear in the flush
or bloom, the branches d rosed in yel
low from end to end bv the crowded
flowers; a month still later frequent
specimens still persist in flower, and
by the right combination of circum
stances one may ride in the gliding
sleigh past hushes with a lingering
glimmer of yellow. On hist Thanksgiv
ing day 1 waded through snow hnee-
decp to collect .onic flowering brnnche.
In some of the flowers the stamens ap
peared to Iv immature, but the petals
had passed their brightest day. About
Is inches of snow had fallen previously
during the month, and the lowest re
corded temperature in the vicinity was
II degrees Fahrenheit. In "Wood's
Class Hook of IiOtany" the flowering
aM)n .s-iatcd is November to January.
That may be its reason in lower lati
tudes, but in this region its time is
September 'to November. The embryo
fruit remains apparently unchanged
t a rough the winter and until the follow
ing spring is well advanced, ripening in
the autumn, when the earliest flowers
aie appearing'.
The witch hazel scatters ifs seeds
in a peculiar way. The fruit consists
of an oblon.', woody case about half
an inch in length, inclosing two hard
nutlet.', somewhat resembling the seeds
of an apple. The expulsion of theseeds
j mcy be witnessed by placing n branch
with the ripened fruit on a table in a
j room. As the ca'-e dries a strain results,
and that causes a slight opening at the
apex. I he rupture of the ease goes on
very slowly for a number of hours or
day--, when the strain suddenly over
comes the remaining resistance, com
pleting the opening with a sharp snap
ping Miuiid and sending the seeds
bounding about the room. The case
splita nearly to the Ikim, and its ap
pearance aftenwnrd is said to suggest
much the wide-opened mouMi of a ser
pent about fo strike. Populnr Science
