Oregon's great scenic resource and the world's greatest, natural wonder is, in their eyes, a local institution and en tirely unworthy of lx'ing made accessible. Although its accessibility means the expenditure of millions of govern ment coin, and a constant stream of money-spending tour ists, they see only the 1H cents taxation on a $1000 valua tion, distributed over a four-year period, that it will cost. Judge Calloway says: "The act is clearly local, as it applies to only two counties. It is also special because it is limited to a specified section and for special purposes only, that is, the proposed appropriation can le used only in the counties of Jackson and Klamath and for a special purpose, viz: The building of a certain specified highway in said counties. The act is therefore local and special." It is such a myopic view that Judge Calloway has taken of the cast;. How meanly it contrasts with that of former Chief Justice W. P. Lord, one of the ablest jurists and biggest -brnined men that ever graced the Oregon supreme bench, himself the author of the Tillamook opinion upon which Judge Calloway justifies his decision. Ex-Covernor Lord says in his remarkable brief: "Such 11 roail (llir ('rain- Lake lilijh iray) in vol lorn!. 1iof niccii'l ; ils hnn'fitx inv not rotiflnrd to the roiilttirs which il I mvcrxcH, hut ore co i j lcvsivr with the stale.

The jiur- fiose is the same, to conned larie portions of the slate and therein conserve the interests of the whole people. To the broader vision of the supreme court the people of Oregon appeal, asking only the right to spend their own money in making accessible the Crater Lake National park, containing two hundred and forty-nine square miles of scenic marvels, set apart by the government and dedicated "to the people, of the United States and their heirs, tor ever, as n publie playground." lowntliip 38. 2we-it $ .!. f.

Nearly all the lumber manufactured in Washington is Douglas fir. the market for which was seriously affected by the panic. Louisiana ranks second, with 2, 722.421.000 feet, a decrease of 250. 000,0110 feet, or 8.4 per cent from the cut in 1907. Louisiana is first the production of both yellow pine aud cypress. Cypress is a partic ularly useful and valuable wood, and apparently the manufacturers of it did not suffer as severely from dull times as did the manufacturers of yellow pine and Douglas fir. Mississippi was the third state in lumber production in 1908. with a total of 1.861,016,000 feet a de crease of 11 per cent from the cut in 1907. Arkansas ranked fourth, with 1. 656.331,000 feet a decrease of nearly 17 per cent and Wisconsin fifth, with 1.613.315,000 feet, against 2.003.279.000 feet in 1907. In Texas, where the lumber indus try is confined almost exclusively to yellow pine, the falling off was very heavy. The total eut of the state in 1908 was 1.524,008,000 feet its attention, chiefly to boosting sec tions that are already well advanced. There is an extensive development now going on in Lake county and it is extending to the country north. Ther are resources enough and the territory is ample to make a great and progressive commonwealth. It is exacted this secession movement will be taken up in earnest within the next few vears.

Oregon Ranks" Eighth. , Eight other states manufactured ' more than 1,000,000,000 feet each of lumber last year. In the order of importance they were: Michigan, Oregon. Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina and West Virginia. California and Maine, other states which reported more than 1,000,000,000 feet each in 1907. went just below that figure in 1908. . . ...... '( Resolution of Respect. HcudouartorH W. II.
