OUR PUBLIC LANDS
THE NATION, liberal weekly magazine, is circularizing
newspapers in the western states which have public
lands, with its edition of Septemler 11, containing a marked
article entitled "The People's Soil." The federal govern
ment, sonorously pronounces The Nation, is the natural
guardian of those lands as "the remaining natural heritage
of all the people." All or what people? The Nation, of
-n i ho .winnlo nf nil tho United States. The
COUIOU, Jllvmio on niv- ...
;.. .,;,.ii on n,id,rn
dictions that President Hoover's tentative proposal for re
turning the surface lands to the states will ue vigorously
opposed by eastern senators and representatives in congress.

.view. The western states which still have public lands have
had no share in the benefits from public lands, for instance,
in New York or Massachusetts or Vermont. The state of
Oregon is a distinct political entity in itself, not a mere cor
ner in a super-state. . Its lands might be regarded as a na
tural heritage of Its own people.
' "Not that anybody out here is throwing up his hat at
the prospect of getting state possession of the mere surface
rights to the remaining unreserved federal lands within its
borders, wihch are of the most part of very doubtful value.
But the eastern view as apparently indorsed by The Na
tion is that reserved federal lands at least are valuable and
the East will therefore insist on keeping them federalized for
the benefit of the East and oppose the Hoover suggestion as
a possible step toward ultimate return of all federal lands
to the states. "What's yours is mine also, and what's mine
is my own" is the eastern dictum.

The Sutherlin Sun, published yesterday, says that J.
E. Dimick contemplates moving his sawmill to a site on the
S.'P. tracks in the city of Sutherlin. It has been found to
be good sound business judgment to haul logs to the railroad
instead of milling the lumber in the woods and hauling it to
tho railroad. Among the reasons for this fact is that help
is easier obtained in a town and is better content. Dy-pro-dutits
such as wood, low-grade lumber and sawdust are easily
saleable and render an added profit. There is a large
amount of fine saw-timber adjacent to Sutherlin that will
be tnilled there some day. If the Dimick mill is 'moved to
Sutherlin that will have a good start toward a future of in
dustrial prosperity, - . .::!:

convulsion, froth at tbe mouth and bite his

Even in that remote day I expected to be a
doctor. The teacher knew this so she always
assigned me to the duty of taking care of Willie.
He was my first patient!
1 don't know who uld me to do it but the
first step of my treatment always was to keep
the teeth separated so as to prevent biting of
the tongue. J.1 kept a woodch clothes pin for
this purpose and my first effort was to get it
between his teeth. Aside from washing his face
and preventing his harming himself in his con
vulsive efforts, I recall doing nothing else. In
fact that's about all a real doctor could do.

should be made throuch the spon

The acceptance that the widow

A widow uses exactly the same
forms for her name that she used

Labor Saving Devices.

Newberg Association.
Wheat Market Sluggish.
(By SEYMOUR JONES)
State Market Agent,
The U. S. Bureau of Agriculture
says that producers of winter
wheat should not plan their 1930
production wiih the expectation
that wheat crops In foreign coun
tries will be so short as lo provide
market for their wheat equal to
that of the present season. Should
tanners carry out their expressed
intentions this fall to seed a wheat
acreage 1.2 per cent greater than
seeded last fall, with average
abandonment and average yields,
production would continue to be
well above domestic requirements
and the 1930 winter wheat crop
must be marketed upon an export
basis. With normal or average
yields in Canada, Argentina and
Australia, producers must count
upon keen competition in world
markets. The world market for
wheat of the 1930 crop will prob
ably be no better, and may not be
as good as that for the present
season.
The Eggsamlner, official organ
of the Pacific Poultry Produce,
advises its patrons thus: "To raise
the standard of quality of your
eggs cannot be urged too often or
too strongly. Proper conuilions oi
temperature, cleanliness, careful
packihg,- handling and transporta
tion, better internal quality, firmer
shell texture, all contribute vitally
to an adequate profit In the poul
try business. Quality is the basis
on which everything else rests.
Produce high quality eggs.
An exchange says that a well
known cattle feeder uses an ordi
nary litter carrier to transport
feed from the bain to toed bunks.
This carrier runs on a cable sup
ported by posts. The cable extends
across the feed lot above the
bunks. He uses the carrier to haul
silage and chopped corn fodder
from the barn, thus saving himself
many steps. He can alBo back a
wagon load of corn up to the bunks
and use the carrier at feeding time
to transport it to bunks at consid
erable distance.
On the basis of reports from
growers as to acreages planted
and planned for the 1930 season
the prospect for strawberry grow
ers now seems to be better than at
any time since 3926. says Agricul
tural Bureau. Growers in the moat
troubled areas are preparing for
substantial reduction in acreage

dreds visited us and the occupants
were not all curiosity seekers
either, as manv rave s welcome
hand In fighting the flames and

to us to be a part and parcel of the

the asking.
We also acknowledge receipt of

A BOOST FOR THE NORTH
UMPQUA ROAD PROJECT
Kosebure, Oregon.
Sept. 20. 1929.
Editor, Roseburg News-Review.
Dear Sir:
Doubtless many people, reading
of the opposition reported to be de
veloping against the North Ump
qua highway project, are wonder
ing how and when they would pro
ceed to develop this valley so as to
obtain for themselves and poster!
ty a home market for their pro
ducts. Such a project completed
would fill our hotels and autc
camps with yearly increasing thou
sands to be fed largely from pro
ducts grown within a radius of
twenty milea of Roseburg, and ev
ery other industry in this vicinity
would feel the expansive impulse.
Shall we wait another forty
years to see if some unwary capi
talist will not start whoopee for
us? Our own history compared
with that of Med ford, Eugene and
Seattle should Inform us that capi
tal is not usually attracted until
the people of any given community
show thefr own faith in its re
sources and ultimate destiny. Se
attle had to build its first railroad
and lay coal on its docks In compe
tition with Taeomn. before the
great transportation companies
would pay any attention to their
wants. Los Angeles had to annex
a harbor and twenty intervening
miles before shipping companies
would consider it as a terminal
city; and Eugene had to form the
Lane County Asset company and
ing to 7 per cent below the 197,000
acres picked In 1929. ,
Five cents In form of oldctrlcity
will do a great many things. It has
been figured out that a nickel's
worth of electric current generat
ed by a farm light plant will milk
ten cows, separate 1400 pounds of
milk, church 20 pounds of butter,
sharpen an axe or a scythe on the
grindstone six times, pump two
days' snpply of water, run an elec
tric sewing machine five hours or
do two large washings.
The Growers' Cooperative asso
ciation of Newberg, organized In
1927 for the purpose of canning,
drying and marketing fruits and
vegetables, reports business for the
past year amounting to more than
$1,000,000. Its total assets to March
31, 1929, amounted to $152,728. The
membership at present numbers
320.
The Portland grain exchange at
the close of last week stated: "The
market remained in the same state
of indecision that has been no
ticeable the past three weeks. Sen
timent is still bullish, but buyers
are holding off for cheuper wheat
jn view of present conditions.
Cables are discouraging.'
start a railroad to tidewater before
the Southern Pacific would con
sider it more than a way station.
And what about the wealth of
the nearby acreage In these viclni'
ties? When producers can market
their own products here at the
eastern prices, and pocket the
freight they would otherwise have
to pay to some distant terminal,
they will laueh to think that they
ever entertained an Idea of fi Kilt
ing a five-mill tax to start the wave
of prosperity and wealth that has
engulfed them.
But there s no use areaming. or
wishing that something might be a
little different. We, ourselves, must
be the go-getters. : "Heaven helps
those who help themselves, is
gospel with all capitalists that I've
read or, and they are better able to
wait a generation or two than we
are.
So, when the highway commis
sioners come to bear the objec
tions, let every booster from Riddle
to Sutherlin and from Looking
glasB to Glide be on hand to show
how and when they want this de
velopment to start!
Respect fu'ly.
