A NOTABLE PROGRAM
Forestry Convention Has Fine
List For Saturday
MORE GOOD PAPERS ARE READ
An Excellent Lecture Was Given Thursday
Night, and Other Features For Fri
day and Saturday Nights
Thursday afternoon's session of the
forest fire conference, held at the
courthouse, was attended by a good
sized audience. G. F. Mead, law ex
aminer of the district office at Port
laud, gave a very interesting and in
structive talk outlining the land
policy of the forest service and ex
plaining the manner in which pros
pective settlers should proceed to se
cure lands under the forest home
Btead act. He also mentioned sev
eral specific cases where the forest
service had been instrumental in sav
ing settlers their lauds from cancel
lation on account of minor technicali
ties. Mr. Hugh .McDonald, of Hoaglin.
a homesteader on the Umpqua Na
tional forest, told of the various
things that a settler was up against,
building a home in Western Oregon.
He spoke very highly of the manner
in which the forest service allied in
first securing the land and then giv
ing him and other homesteaders em
ployment on construction work,
within the forest, which he says is
first given to the settlers before
bringing in outside men to work.
This work saves the forest settler
from going out and Beeklng employ
ment elsewhere.
Hon. B. L. Eddy gave an excellent
address on the various land laws and
their interpretation, covering a
period of 50 years or more, and bring
ing it down to the present time. Mr.
Eddy pointed out ninny things in re
gard to the law in the past, which
worked .hardships on the settler, but
thought that legislation was improv
ing in favor of the settler. He eulo
gized the local forestry office for the
manner in which they ussisted actual
settlers In securing their lands. Mr.
"Kiddy's address was Instructive and
indicated a thorough knowledge of
the land laws of this country.
Hon. A. C. Marsters spoke at some
length on the grazing problems from
the time of frontier days to the pres
ent. He pointed out very vividly the
manner in" which grazing on the pub
lic domain was conducted prior to
Government control, where the rifle
and the "survival of the fittest" pre
dominated the public range. He
compared the difference in those
range war days with the present time
when the stockman and the stock in
dustrv are protected under Govern
ment control and his business is a
safe and sound one from a financial
point of view.
Mr. John C. Kuhns, assistant for
est ranger, read a very Interesting
paper on the grazing situation on the
National forests. He states that 20
million head of stock are grazed on
the National forests of this country
and that the public ranges, instead
of deteriorating, are being built up
and the number of stock Increased
cnch year.
V. It. Kinley, of the state game
commission, gave a fine talk on the
protection and propagation of game
animals, birds and fish. Mr. Kinley
Is enthusiastic in this work nnd has
built up that department from a
chaotic condition to a state of effi
ciency. In the evening Mr. Kinley gave an

A ROSEBURG AUDIENCE
WAS GREATLY PLEASED,
HEARING HELEN KELLLR
Miss Helen Keller, the wonderful
blind and deaf woman, wns led before
a packed house Inst night at the Ant
ler's Theater, when she delivered her
message on the brotherhood of hu
man kind, from her world of silence
to tho expectant nnd admiring audi
ence before her, whose presence could
only be felt. Her appearance won
her audience at once, und the won
der of her wit in answering ques
tions, of her keen sensibility, and her
vast learning quite overawed them.
The questions were Imparted to her
bv the placing of her fingers on the
lips, nose and throat or her teacher,
who repeated the questions asked by
persons in the audience. Her words
were delivered somewhat mechani
cally, perhaps, guided only by Imi
tating the actions of the human voice
box. However, they could be dis
tinctly understood. The English she
used was perfect, hut who mny not
wonder what were the meanings of
her words, which are of a spirit in
perpetual darkness and silence. To
a question asked of her as to her
preference for sight or hearing, she
replied that she would rather hear.
Her highly developed mind can prob
ably picture something of what she
feeis, but hearing is a phenomenon
more closely connected with her lov
ing nature and consequently more
desirable. Her lecture wns preceded
by the story of her education, con
taining many amusing Incidents by
which she acquired her ideas, told by
her teacher. Mrs. Macy. The ladies
were Introduced by Miss Josephine
Parrott. They left for Portland last
night, together with Miss Kellers
mother.
