About .the only thing they are valuable for ib for coaling and aval supply sta tions. The price paid for them is not given out, but it is doubtless all they are worth. ' Thb soldier at Kort Canby, who threatened to kill President Roose velt and voiced approval : of the crime of Csolgoe t, has been taken to Alcatras to serve a ten years' sentence. His name, Rakowski, is indicative of anarchistic tendencies. The sentence given him is deserved. Admiral Schley has deolared that the presidential 'bee has not invaded his ohapeau. The admiral is riant. The olace he oooupies in public estimation is such that, even if elected, it would not be enhanced, - and he is wise not to riak the blotching of his escutcheon which might come by carrying it through a oitter political campaign. LandhvnterS are waking up to the value of Oregon Umber lands Twentv-one V timber ' claims ; were filed in the Oregon City land, office last Thursday, embracing a total ol 3360 acres in Benton County. This land has not been heretofore un known, most of it having been taken in bast years under, the homestead law, but relinquished, for the reason, perhaps, of -the labor involvd in clearine-and-'nUrantf If under the nlow.' OVegoo timber was not a valuable asset in. those days, .... for the very sufficient reason that the' local lumber, market was easily glutted and lumber , shipping ..had . not reached, the proportions of s saving industry. To subdue "the forests to agriculture" was ' enbr- mously laborious, and therefore un profitable! '' But the timber -dis tricts .'abandoned by . discouraged homeseekers have been rediscovered, eo to speak, by the timber-land seeker, who will sooner or latei realize handeomely upon hisventure. Oregonian. The report that eastern Btudenls were to be imported to Oregon and appointed, as U. S. forest rangers, in place of Oregon men, who have heretofore held the positions, has resulted in some pretty strong pro tests being sent to our senators and representatives. The inadequacy of the force employed to perform the duty of protecting the vast extent of the Cascade reset ve from fire and other depredations has been the .source of many unfavorable re-j marks and much newspaper jocu larity, even when in 'the hands of practical mountaineers, as most of the old rangers were. : With a lot . of green eastern students, who, while they might be able to give . the scientific and botanical names for about all the weeds in the woods, wouldn't know how to ar range a campfire so the bean pot wouldn't upset, or how to cook 'em : anyway, the situation would not be .considerably improved. The mat .ter is much of a farce at the best, and it is to be hoped, in the interest of future, generations, ; that it will not be made worse. The idea of the forest reseive is all right. It is simply the way it is carried out that makes people tired. . . Notice. - Notice is hereby given tnat my wiie, Grace E.

An Important Opinion Kendered. . Judge R. P. BoiBe rendered an opinion of interest and importance last week in a case coming up in the Douglaa Oountv circuit court, involving the right of person 8 to take gravel from the hanks nf Btrenma when such streams border upon land belonging to private parties. The court held that the defendant in nnhatinn had no rieht to take gravel from the river bank In question and that the right of private ownership ex tends to the center of the stream. Tin decision not only settles the property riehts upon gravel beds but will prob ably affect logging and boom operations along such streams aa well. Revival Meetings Closed. The revival meetings at the First Methodist Church under the manage ment and able leadership of the Rev. Dr. J. J. Walter, closed Tuesday night. Twenty-one were added to the church, and a deeper mterest prevails tnrougn- out the elLv. Dr. Walter's short stay and work In onr little city will never be farantten. He is a nrofound thinker and forcible speaker, who moves the people by tbe preaching of the pure word. His illustrations of tbe truth are largely drawn from his own exper iences in personal, social and mission ary fields of the ministry.
