has been some complaint about the

claimed, lacks uniformity, and it Is
suggested that "if a company were
formed In the United States which
would buy and furnish the supply of
dried apples of the desired quality

facturers," ws should Increase our
sales of the fruit. Why not form a
company In Medford to carry the
suggestion a step further; that Is to
say, have It select the good fruit of
this valley and convert It Into steril

WILL BENEFIT COUNTIES
WASHINGTON. June I. The fact
that Western states are hereafter to
receive 26 per cent of the receipts of
forest reserves, In lieu of 10 per
cent which they have received dur
ing the past two years, Is due very
largely to the work of Senator Pul
ton and Representative Ilawley of
Oregon. It was Mr. Fulton who pro
posed the amendment to the agricul
tural appropriation bill In the Sen
ate, and It was Mr. Hawiey who per
suaded the house conferees to ac
cept the amendment, after they had
held out long and announced that
they would not stand 'or the In
crease. Behind this legislation Is an
Interesting Btory.
The original proposition to give
the states a share of the receipts
from forest reserves that is, a part
of the money received from sales of
timber, grazing privileges, etc., was
first advanced by Mr. Fulton two
years ago. He contended that the
reservation of land decreased the tax
able area of those counties In which
reserves were located, and corre
spondingly made the burden the
heavier on property-holders. He
said the counties should be compen
sated for the money they would ulti
mately receive In taxes, should the
reserved land pass to private owner
ship, and he contended for 25 per
cent of the receipts, the money to be
paid by the federal government to
the states, and by the states pro
rated to the various counties affect
ed, to be used for school purposes
and for the building of roads. At
that time, however, congress would
not consent to give the states 25 per
cent, and reduced the amount to 10
per cent.
For the past two years the states
have receivod this 10 per cent, and
it has been found that the amount,
in most Instances, Is too small to
accomplish much in the way of main
taining schools or building roads.
For that reason Mr. Fulton this year
proposed to increase the amount to
25 per cent, and after a spirited fight
led by Senator Heyburn of Idaho his
amendment was adopted tu the sen
ate. In fighting the amendment, Mr.
Heyburn said that bis state could not
use any of this money for road con
struction, but Investigation devel
oped the fact that the state had done
so just as other states had done, and
Mr. Heyburn 's objection was over
ruled, it did not develop until later
why Mr. Heyburn opposed the
amendment.
Kver slnco he entered the senate
Mr. Heyburn has been fighting the
forestry policy and the forest serv
ice. Vh'n the proposition was made
to give the states 25 per cent of the
receipts from reserves a proposi
tion, by the way, that was indorsed
by the forest service, Mr. Heyburn
realized that this increase would tend
to soften tho hearts of many persons
who had been criticising the service,
particularly those who condemned
tho reserves because they reduced
the taxuble area In new statin. In
other words, he saw the props being
ktocked from uuder one of his lead
ing arguments. Ho did not want to
lose this point, so he foupht to hold
down the donatlim to the states,
though on the floor of the senate be
did not state the true ground for Ms
opposition.
When tho agricultural bill, carry
ing the Fulton 23 per cent amend
ment, went to conference, the house
conferees stood out against the In
crease, taking the position that the
states were not entitled to so greit
a share of the receipts. The senate
conferees worked for sevral days,
but were unable to budge the house
trio, and had about glvtn up the
fight when Mr. Hawiey, a memr.:r
of the agriculture committee, ap
peared on the scene. He expb.iiird
to the house conferees that In
crease was absolutely just and prop
er and Bhould be granted, and h se;
forth the reasons. When he coi
eluded his statement, the cha'rnm:.
of the house conferees said:
"Well, Mr. Hawiey, If you will
vouch for the amendment I am will
ing to accept your judgment aiinsi,
my own, and will no longer operac
the Increase.
The other conferees on the pirt v
the bouse, who had served on coi.i
mlttee with Mr. Hawiey, eiprewed
similar views and in that wa; the
Increase was accepted.
The forest service, though l d'd
not recommend the Increase, ca.v'cd
by the Fulton amendment, was hsut
lly In favor of Its adoption. Wl Ue
the forest service Is making every
effort to place the forest reserve on
a self-sustaining basis. It I.elte7es It
good policy to divert one-quarter of
Its receipts to the respective stmoj
realising that this step would largely
tend to allay opposition which milt
prevails In certain parts of the We it.
The time Is coming, and corult.ft
soon, when receipts from reserves
will meet all the expense of aduiti's
tratlon and protection and as the re
ceipts Increase, the benefits to the
states will grow correspondingly, it
Is predicted that Inside of fle yar
possibly In two or three tbt, for
est service will not be co-npelted to
go to congress for appropriation;
ths receipts from the reserves will
defray all expenses, and la tan act
distant future will turn a handnmo
surplus Into the federal treasury, un
less congress makes tome other de
position of the receipts above cost.

MUST HAVE BEEN HUNGRY.
The residence of BenJ. M. Collins,
on B street was entered on Sunday
evening by some unknown person,
who ransacked the place, but failed
to take anything but a quantity of
food which was cooked and on the
dlnlngroom table. Other things
may have been taken, but nothing so
far has been missed.
In gaining entrance the burglar
slit the screen door at the rear of
the residence, but found that the In
side door was locked. He then went
around to the front of the residence
and entered by the front door, which
was unlocked.
That he was a tramp Is shown by
the fact that he took food from the
table In the dining-room and noth
ing else Mr. Collins has a number
of pieces of valuable silverware In
his house, but evidently the Intruder
overlooked these, for he did not rare
to take anything which he might
have trouble of disposing of.
Mr. Collins and family had been
away all of the day on Sunday and
upon his return home did not notice
anything out of the way. Yesterday
mornlnj he noticed that a slit had
been cut In the screen door at the
rear of the house. Mr. Collins Im
mediately began an Investigation and
found that the hous, had Indeed
been ransacked, but that there was
nothing missing but a quantity of
food which Mrs. Collins had re
marked the evening before was miss
