The United States court of ap peals at San Francisco, which last year affirmed the decision of tne United Stutes, circuit court In the ensu uf Chnrles Nlekell, convicted of connection with the MIUer-Kincnrt land-fraud operations, has granted Nlekell a rehearing. This action does not necessarily menn a new trial. And still the sound of the hammer and the saw Is sweet music In our ears. With cyclones and spring floods, the Middle West Is certainly between the dovl! and the deep sea. Some are talking pessimistically of the future, hut the building opera tions continue right along. The road scraper is not so preten tious as the skyscraper, yet it occu pies a very useful and honorable po sition In the economy ot civilisation. Glittering commercial reports from all parts of the country Indicate that there will be precious little need tor the emergency currency to emerge. Said the little red hen To the big brown rooster, "You hadn't ought to live It you can't be a booster." LOCAL HAPPENINGS Forest Service Hard at Work. Itlvalry tor Talent Post office. There is a prospective early va cancy in the office ot postmaster at Talent, Mrs. Steele, the present in cumbent, having sent In her resigna tion. A petition Is In circulation asking for the appointment ot O. A. Gardner to the place, also a petition asking tor the appointment of Miss Aldrldge. Tidings. For Ssle.

Leland, Oregon No department of government ac tivity In the WeBt has developed faster and attained a greater degree of general usefulness, considering he number of men engaged therein. than has the forestry service. From a handful of scattered and untrained rangers, perfunctorily patroling wide stretches of forest. It has grown to a business-like, well-directed and well-admlnlstered arm of the gov ernment In Its effort to preserve the forests of the country for future generations. Still the service Is hampered by lack of men. In tbe vast area reaching from Buck lake on the south to the ITmpqua divide on the north and In some places over 40 miles In width, many of those miles being on edge, there are but 11 men, including the office force at the headquarters In Med ford. The office force of tbe for est service, however. Is different from the ordinary office force. Inas much as every one Is capable of tak ing the field at any time and render ing a good account of himself. In the headquarters office at Med ford everything Is carried on In the most approved business nty'.e. There are filing cabinets for every kind of report, application, complaint or claim that comes to the office, and be It known the number Is not small. rhe storeroom contains supplies of all kinds for the men In the field, for Uncle Sum now furnishes to his handy men" everything he thinks they need, and a whole bit of things tue first rangers wouldn't ahve known what to do with. There are tents and axes and surveying In struments and canteens nit "army canteens" books galore and a whole lot of other paraphernalia. Last year lu the Cascada Mazema, as It Is now officially designated, there wero over 40 miles of train constructed one leading from the east end of Four-Mile lake to tbe Red Blanket ranch near Prospect Is 33 miles In length and for a great part of the way Is almost a wagon road. The other leads from Fish lake to Little Klk prairie and is eight miles long. Besides ranger cabins have been constructed at Big Klk and Seven-Mile and one at Brown's cabins, on the Upper Kogue river, will be finished this season. A commodious pasture for the accom modation of the rangers and also of the traveling public has been In closed at Lake o the Woods. In the meantime, while the boys were resting, so to speak, they have run several hundred miles of boun dary lines, marked the same, esti mated a large amount of timber. looked after grazing permits, watched trespassers and did other small stunts. The average forest ranger nowadays has an easy time well, hardly. In the local headquarters, C. J. Buck Is acting supervisor, with S. S. Swennlng as assistant In the ab sence of tho chief; H. D. Foster, for est assistant; J. K. Grlbble, forest guard, and Forest G. Whitney, for estry clerk, take care of the busi ness. They are not all In at the same time, but there Is always some body there to tako care of Inquiries. Thj forest service has been of con siderable benefit to the "chool fund of Jackson county during the past two years, under the provision al lowing 10 per cent of the gross re ceipts of tho reserve lands within the county to be turned over to the school fund. Each of the past two years $SO0 has been received by the county from this source, and this year the percentage has been raised to 25 per cent, which will make the quota for this county at least $2000. j It will very likely be much more this. year and In the years hereafter, as there will be much more timber sold I from reserve lands than formerly. One Item of note la the payment of . J by the Flsn Lake Ditch com pany for timber used In their opera tions inside the reserve. This means $250 for Jackson county. (From Friday's Daily.) C.
