The secretary’s office reversed the decision of the commissioner of the general land office adverse to the entryman and approved his entry remand ing the case to the general land office for final action looking to .th e granting o f patent in due . course. be Frohmader case is an inter- jN W n g one and has been stub- ittoponily contested. M r. Froh- <g_mader settled upon land near J B k c e t a Head in the western part .W lf c a n e county, Oregon, in June, k - W ceedings for the purpose o f securing a cancellation o f the entry. M r. Frohmader defended his rights, but the commissioner of the general land office took adverse action and held the entry for cancellation.

JMBER 8« Lane county has an area of 2,951.680 acres all told; of this the forest service has 1,567,124 acres, or more than one h alf o f the county. I t requires $760,000.00 to pay the running expenses o f the county one year; we re ceive $6,199.52 from the forest service, or 25 per cent of the gross receipts o f the National forest; we pay in taxes on less than one h alf of the total area o f Lane county $753,800.48. more than the National forest. Is this a business proposition? Is the forest service pay ing its proportionate share of the tax? n s - t t i . i r r Let a young man of tw enty years of age put twenty dollars at interest, instead of expending it for tobacco. Then, at the beginning of the next year repeat it, and include also the principal and interest of the preceding year, and thus continue to do so from year to year un til hereaches the age o f seventy, the amount he would realize would exceed th irty thousand dollars. How many o f you young men w ill try it? Co-operation among farmers in gathering, and marketing their products will enable them better prices.
