A BLOW TO OHECOS.
Circuit Judge. William Calloway struck a vicious blow
at the progress and development of Oregon and proved
himself of exceedingly narrow vision when lie declared the
Crater Lake road local in character and the state appro-'
funds to carry on his battle with the jK-sts that prey on
orchards. The government is curtailing expenses in all
directions, but permission has been given Professor O'Gara
to remain here, provided his expenses are paid.

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:

constitutes of itself a small part of the route, and iet it Is
made the channel llnomh which 11 iirctit movement of the
people will flow. In fact, such a link or road, in connection
villi others Irarcrxlnq the stale, is just as essential to the
welfare of the firodc and their material interests as drrdij
itu fh Wlllmnrtle or huildhui a canal to the falls. 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."

Louisiana ranks second, with 2,

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

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.
