Good-Bye Old Yeir
We have stepped from the old
year to the new, and we are re
minded that after all our fears and
apprehensions, to many of ux, it
has been a very kind year. To
some, we know that the dark side
has been turned, but after all,
there is a gleam of sunshine for all,
if we but look, for it. We weuld
not forget that to look upon the
homes of some of our readers since
last New Year's day, a shadow has
fallen and a mantle of sorrow has
wtapped its inmates in its sombre
folds.
Other homes are like the empty
nest that hang on the withered
bough, desolate because the life
and song went out with the birds.
New homes have been made and
old ones hare been severed, but in
our onward march, it is not well to
stop and weigh the load each one
carries. No life is all sunshine or
all storm. If New Year brings
prosperity, let us rejoice; if adver
sity let us be brave. The sunset
gate of life will swing shut upon
some of us ere the close of another
year. Let us see to the record left
on this side.
PLAN TO
CONTROL RANGE
Silica Sand is Wasted
Portland, Ore., Dec 30, 1907.
To the editor You have printed
articles at different times relative
to the discovery of large bodies of
silica sand, and the Oregen De
velopment League desires to pre
sent $100 to any reader of your
paper or any citizen of Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana or
California, who will find this sand
to fill the requirements demanded
by the Columbia Steel Works of
this city, who have made this offer
through the League; "We will
take one hundred tons each month
of silica sand, 96 per cent pure
silica and free from iron oxides,
delivered at Portland at not to
exceed $6 per ton, and we will pay
$100 in cash to the d'scoverer."
Silica sand is now being shipped
to Portland and other iron and
steel manufacturing centers of the
Pacific coast from Minnesota. It
has been frequently reported that
large quantities of pure silica have
been discovered, and the com
munity that "makes good" in this
instance has a greater source of
revenue than gold or copper mines,
lumber mills, or factories of any
kind, for when a dependable
quality of silica is found in quan
tities sufficient to supply the de
mand, all the iron works from the
Gulf of California to Alaska, and
from the Rocky Mountains west,
will be customers. It may just as
well be given to the public now as
later that the steel trust and
another combination of multi
millionaires engaged in the pro
duction of iron and steel are in
vestigating different points on the
Pacific coast with the idea of
building another Pittsburg.
Don't worry about the present
freight rate. The discovery of a
large quantity of silica sand
would make a low rate neceseary
remember that the sand now
comes from Minnesota. This is
your opportunity. Send a sample
to your nearest assayer to be sure
you have the goods.
The year 1907 breaks all records
in Portland, and what is true here
is an index in a proportionate de
gree of every place between the
Rocky mountains and the Pacific,
the most prosperous part of Amer
ica.and will continue to be. The in
crease in manufactured products
hai been 30 per cent; the sales of
merchandise are considerably
greater than in 1906. No year
has brought so great an immigra
tion. Postal receipts, exports and
imports, the products from the
farm and dairy, and those from
the orchard, and every other re
source by which prosperity can be
puUed, prove an unprecedented
growth, and if we will only shake
off this temporary impulse to hedge,
1908 can be made a still greater
year.

The following is the text of the
administration bill to provide for
government control of the range:
Be it enacted by the senate and
House of representatives of the
United States of America, in Con
gress assembled. That the presi

poses; protect them horn depre
dation and injury; restore and
improve their grazing value; issue

ticable to homesteaders and to pre

such grazing permiU, based upon
the grazing value of the land in
each locality.

whether the distribution of range
shall be by individual or com
munity allotments. The executive
board shall also determine the
total number of animals to be
grazed in each grazing district
when permits are issued on a per
capita basis, and shall decide upon
the adoption of any special rules
to meet local conditions. Any
differences between a majority of
the executive board and the officer
in charge shall be referred to the
secretary of agriculture and shall

amount of such payment shall be

agriculture.
