Coroiwr Kainier THE TIMBER "CROr" Tut) attention o those who believe, or profess to believe, that timber ow ners in this comity beur more than their just porportion of taxes is invited to the fact that Mr. S. Benson has announced, according to the Portland papers, tliat ho will not ousider an ollor of les than f 1,1X0,000 for his holdings in Columbia County. No doubt they are worth luoie than that, tint they are assessed for ouly about half that sum, auil. as other pro lierty is assessed closeuptoiu full value, it appears that the county, in strict jus tice to other taxpayers, should receive at leiM f 10,000 more atinually than it is now colUctini from the Benson Logging Company. If limber in Coluuiber Couuty during the past tweuty years had been assessed at its fair value aud the levy been the same, a fund could have been created the interest on which would have paid all the running expenses of tl.e county. Sich tnen as Benson bare made tl.eir money easily, and, while no injustice should lie done them, it is ridiculous to eay t bey have been persecuted. Mr. Bensou has made bis millions easily and should not gnun when he is separated from a few thousands for public pur poses. He has no cause to kick on the cruise, for lie has taken 70 million feet of logs off of five places that were cruis ed for Itss than fifteen millian feet. These places cost Mr. Benton about $1,000 each. At even one dollar per thousand he has sold the "crop" for fourteen times as much as he paid for the land with the timber standing, and CHOICE VS. LOTTERY. Another great tiovprnment land draw ing is announced to take place In Oct ober. A total of 2,0111,000 acre of Indian reservation land In North Dakota and 217,000 in South Dakota will be disposed of at this drawing. The land comprises holdings that remain from the allotment ol lands in severalty to In Jiansof Stand ing Kock aud Cheyenne River agencies. The numbers will be drawn according to Government lottery rules, at Aber deen, S. V., during the last week In October registrations to be made Octo ber 4 3d. The character of those lands, in to. pography, soil aud resources, is similar to that of the Flathead lands recently disposed of by lot. That is to sav, the landa are aeuii-aiiil. rugged, and to some extent, irrigable. In some sections they are what is knowu as agricultural lands, subject to irrigation; iu others, they fall under the schedule of "dry farming''; in still others they are graa ing lands, wholly uutillable, and ovtr all there are extremes of climate. There is a certain wild beauty and at tractiveness about the regiou in wltith these lands of the Rocky Mountain area lie, tut to persons accustomed to life in regions that are older iu civilisation and in cultivation, they are brooded over by a loneliness that approaches desola tion. To subdue them and make them habitable and profitable, according to the civilised idea, w ill require years of monotonous, hard tabor, aud many pri vations will attend the effort. But determination and peisistence have prevailed over these conditions in other sections of the country,, turning the beautiful but inhospitable wilder ness into veritable gardens of abundance and homes of plenty and luxury. The obstacles to be encountered iu making homes upon these Dakota lands nie no greater as regards climate aud labor than were those that were bravely met and coi.queied throughout the bread do main of the great Middld West and Northwest, and the isolation is not nearly so complete as that which was endured by the early settlers of the Mis sissippi Valley, because the entire con tinent is now traversed by railroads, while their spurs aresettingout in many directions. Still, to those who will regard them selves as fortunate if, in the great gov ernmental game of chance, they should draw a number entitling them to make homestead entry upon these long-segregated lands, the conditions implied in the teiius "to live ou aud cultivate," as antecedent to a full title, will bi mouot-j onous euough and, if they make the I land worth the holJing, hard enough. The rigorous climate is a feature to be reckoned with, especially during the first few years, w herein everything per taining to the settlers, heme is of the most pnmitive type. If The Oregonian were to offer advice to sturdy young men. who intend to become farmers, in tbe matter of getting a Karl in life, it would eay to them. Choose your location.

Mr. Bensou k f a rigl'.t s,arton a far,u to c,1Hnce- not a public benefactor, nor are his hold ings a benefit to tbe commanity. On tiie contrary, they are a corse. The big speculator has the small land owner entirely at his mercy and can compel Uini to take any euni the former sees fit to give for lha property. The city of Clattkanie would be doing five timts the business it is to day if it were not bottled op by the lienson holdings, be cause it would have many more email mills cutting the timber and shingle bolts ami hauling the products to the card and boats. AN ILLL'STKATION A workingrnan in this city drew $75 on the tenth day of the month His family needed it. There was a sick baby in the house. But the saloons g it the money, and the man stayed away from his family day after day. spending for booze the m iney they shoi!d have had for the iiecesaries of life. The saloju keepers knew this and yet they did not hesitate to take his wages. When lie dies, unless he mends his wayB, lib family will depend upon charity, either publi - or private. Could the "blind pig" do any worse? Is the saloon a good in vestment either mentally, morally, or financially?

And 1 in any event forbear the temptation to take a long aud expensive journey to to register in a game of chance for a homestead site that there is not one probability in ten thousand that you will draw. .Select your farm site, make as favorable terms for its purchase aa you can, go to work on it intelligently, pursue the work with persistence, re fuse to be discouraged by the failures that almoet surely follow the combined effort to learn and to do at one and the same time, and take the assurance of The Oregonian that in ten years you will j have a farm that is worth holding and j living upon, or that will bring an e--ccilent return for your eudearor iu the real estate market.

Maybi he did, but be could Lave done a great deal better by investing his money in slump land in Colnmbia County clearing it up anJ planting and cultivating his orchard. He could buy the land fori0 per acre, clear it for ,75 per acre, and the three years of Cultivation, including the planting and purchase of the trees, Jwould certainly not have cost him more than another 100 per acre. Thus he would have saved at least iffiOO per acre. Possibly the the Hood River men who sold out will do as other Hood Kiver men havu do.ie- iuvest his money iu stump land in Col umbia County, and tell again at llie end of another three years. If be does he will be in the plutocrat class. For every acre he eold in Hood Kiver be Can have four acres iu Columbia County, and it will p.oduce, with Hood Kiver methods of cultivation, better apples in ncmi varieties than are raised in Hood Iiiver.
