Horn can pront oy i . . . . ..,,., hv whi.,h the a reading of the actual facts. ... : The forests of the United States now cover about 550 million acres, j or about one-fourth of the land of the whole country. The original forests covered not less than S50 million acres or nearly one-half. j The forests owned by the govern-1 ment cover one-fourth of the total I forest area, and contain one-fifth of all timber standing. Forests private ly owned cover three-fourths of the area, and contain four-fifths of the standing timber. Besides having three times the area and four times the forests, the timberland privately owned Is generally more valuable. Forestry, or conservative lumbering, is practiced on 70 per cent of the for-j ests publicly owned and on less than the forests, the timberland privately owned. This covers the country's forest resources as they stand to day. Senator Smoot, chairman of the section of forests of the National Conservation Commission, in outlining the future has said: "By reasonable thrift, we can pro duce a constant timber supply beyond our present need, and with it conserve the usefulness of our streams for ir rigation, water supply, navigation and power. "Under right management, our for ests will yield over four times as much as now. We can reduce waste in the woods and in the mill at least one-third, with present as well as fu ture profit. We can perpetuate the naval stores Industry. Preservative treatment will reduce by one-fifth the quantity of timber used in the water or in the ground. We can practically stop forest fires at a total yearly cost of one-fifth the value of the standing timber burned each year, not count ing young growth. "We shall suffer for timber to meet our needs, until our forests have had time to grow again. But If we act vig orously and at once, we shall escape permanent scarcity." The bequests and donations of the American people for the public good during the past year reach the as tounding total of ninety-one millions of dollars. Of the donors Andrew Carnegie stands at the head with a total of gifts amounting to $7,600,000. John D. Rockefeller comes next with a total of $2,000,000 in round num bers. Mrs. Russell Sage taites third place and her gifts amount to fl, 559.000. Much of this money may be tainted, but it is assisting a great many worthy people to obtain educa tion and a chance In the world. Hereafter a man In Minneapolis may give his I. O. U. for his car fare when he leaves his change in his other trousnra and there are doubt less some tight wads who will ride now instead of walking to office. 1909 CALENDARS 909 Our shipment of calendars for $909 has been delayed and we will probally not re ceive them before the i Oth or i 2th of Jan uary. The delay being unavoidable we can only express cur regret, and ask that our friends be , patient with as, assuring them that the calendars will be distribut ed at the earliest possible moment after their arrival. The Bank of I CLAIMS ARE EASILY MADE That I can accomplish the host possible results in all kinds of dental work requiring skill la attested by a business that has steadily increased during the past 13 year. Very often I have to repair the damage Inflicted by men who are misfits in this profession. They catch some customers by so-called cheap prices. I guarantee the best skill In every branch of dental work. The work that stands the test of time and makes a friend of every patient. If you appreciate skill, gentleness and modern methods at rea sonable cost, eutrust me with your work. : J L L. PICKENS, 0 , I solsmograph seems to be a.

Evidently the unwritten law has a new string to Its bow. Who can say that China is not rap Idly becoming educated when she will dismiss the Commander In chief of the Army instead of having him be headed? The president shook hands with seven thousand people on the first day of the year and yet there are those who say that fifty thousand dol lars a year is a sufficient salary.

The nntl-sa- loon people are satisfied with the law in its present form and are prepared to combat any scheme for modifying Its provisions. Contending that the fruit Industry has attained proportions that call for state assistance, the StEto Horticul tural Society will ask for Bn annual appropriation of not less than flOOO that the fruitgrowing industry may be further developed and an Improved quality of fruit assured. There will be the usual bills for appropriations and for increases In standlne annronriations bills Croat- ni? ndditlilnal Institutions to be sun- ported at the expense of the stnte, proposed constitutional amendments. Including the districting of the state into Senatorial and Representative districts, etc. An amendment will be proposed to the state banking law making Its pro visions more stringent. This Is re garded by the opponents of the bank guaranty bill, which has been drafted by Orton, of Multnomah, as an effec tive way of blocking a possibly favor able consideration of the more radical measure,, which Is patterned closely after the Oklahoma law. Organized labor will go before the state's solons asking for an employ ers' llabllty act, a uniform eight-hour law, elimination of convict labor In competition with union labor and the employment of such prisoners at road ; building. The bill for an employers' liability act is considered an extreme measure and already has Invited ac tive opposition. Representative Beals, of Tillamook, will revive his bill calling for the as sessment of timber lands on a cruised basis. This bill requires owners of timber lands to submit to the assessor the amount of timber per acre on their land. On the refusal of the timber lh(! Iaw authorizes the assessor lo personally cruise the land, the cost of which shall be assessed against the owner. This cruise shall constitute the basis on which a valuation shall be placed on the property. This bill was passed by the House two years ago and defeated In the Senate. An appropriation of at least $50, ! 000 will be asked with which to es i tablish one sanitarium of tubercular ; patients. Should the appropriation be ! made. It is proposed to establish one i of these hospitals In Southern Oregon and the other in Eastern Oregon. ! The dairy Interests of the state have united In a request for an addi tional appropriation of Ji',000 with which to place three Instructors in the field. The plan is to employ these Instructors In an educational capacity. They will instruct the farm ers along approved lines of dairying and will be clothed with authority to require a compliance on the part of the farmers with regulations pre scribed for the conduct of the dairy business. It is altogether probable that from some source another bill will be pro posed providing for a net-weight law. Guardian's Sale of Real Property.

The board Is now looking for a suit able location for a bank building. This building, when erected, will certainly be u credit to the locality vPticro It Is reeled. The edifice will bo of stone or brick, with all modern improve ments. Milwaukee has a small pox scare. There are two case In the city. Mrs. C. Klklns and cbl'dren have been quarantined. Urs. Stearns and Sell- wood pronounced It small pox and Or. Norrls, county doctor, quarantin ed the place. The City Council of Milwaukee met Tuesday evening. January 12. ut the city hull.

A petition was read requesting Court In Marlon County has imsialn that a crosswalk at yulncy and Wash- ,,, ih,. order. The evidence Is bo- Ington streets be built. This was re-1 ferrod to the street committee. Com munication from Mrs. IKira Quant pro testlug against the repairing of the sidewalk was discussed by the coun cil and iiKin motion the recorder wbj Instructed to officially notify her to repair same on or before February 9, llioU. The recorder was also Instruct ed to notify the owners of properly adjacent to the foot bridge on Wash ington street to repair same on or be fore February 9. HK'9. Following la the message of the mayor, which was highly applauded by tlio members of the council and the citizens present: To the Members of the Council and Citizens of Milwaukee: In assuming the olllce of mayor to which you huve so kludly elected me, I think it timely to direct om at tention to the policy which I believe should be carried out by tnib admin istration. To elect city officials ,s biu a mat ter of form and they aie poeiless to institute laws that uuko fui perma nent progress unless the : operation of the citizens Is heartily given. The mayor and Council workup hand In hand with the Inhabitants gimrante-r success of Milwaukee, it Is up to us to see that our town goes ahead. I am glad to say that Milwaukee is enjoying an era of pios,!''ty. The river front presents a s?n:i of busi ness activity. The population Is growing, new homes arc being built, the merchants are prosperous und many new enterprises au being lo cated In our midst. Credit for this healthy condition and growth must be glren to the n Mrlng administration and my pi ad.jres sor, Wm. Shlndler, while iti office es tablished a record that he can well lie proud of. I shall tonight make ine coimuitl." appointments and ine ni'iubers should be active in their d.iM.-s lo do- voto time to the various Kubjtrts coming under their auenuou ani fa miliarize themselves wltn t'-ie details of the business devolving upon them. It is expected they will have the Inter ests of the community ft heart and the welfare of all the cuUetn Impar tially considered free fi jm personal or Individual favoritism. The approval of the plai'onn pre sented at the city election makes it the duty of the new administration to carry out the people's instruction. I would therefore sug?3t, llrst of all, that the niniiln rs of ;he Council give their attention to the following prob lems: Abolishing the Poll Tax. , A motion to the effect can be Intro duced at this meeting of the Council, and an end be put to this tax which Is unjust und difficult to collect. More Street Lights. This matter can be considered as soon as Portland has come to terms with the I. R. & h. Co. The franchise granted by Milwaukee, to the 1'ort land General Electric Co., BtateB tha terms for lights, and I feel the Com pany should be bound by these terms. Better Streets and 8ldewalks. The initiative In this direction lies with the property owners, and It Is the greatest, problem that Is before us; property ownerB are beginning to see the necessity of better sidewalks, and progress In this direction is al ready In evidence. The gravel on the north side of the U'Wellyn prop erty und a mile of similar sidewalk In the Houth part of town. These property owners see that It Ib to their own Interest to have better side walks and If the property owners will do likewise, I am sure the City Coun cil will render such assistance as In within Its power. Several miles of gravel walk ought to be put down this year. ISofore permanent street Improve ments can be undertaken, It will be necessary to establish proper grades, and this work had better ho delayed until such time as the 8. P. R. It., pro posed line through the city is com pleted. . The building of this line will undoubtedly change the grade of streets generally. Encourage Opening of New 8treets. More streets will be required as the territory builds up and the town THE JOHNSON REALTY CO. City Lots, Acreage and Farms Specialty. P. 0. Bo. 213 Milwaukee, Or. can look lo the city administration to' encourage nnd render assistance to wards the opening of such new streets us will become a public necessity. In case the S. 1". It. It. builds u new line as contemplated, and a depot bo maintained, It may bo of great con. vrnlcitco to have a public street l"""-. allel the Railroad light of way and I this mailer should ho considered when I the opportunity presents itself. Annexing Additional Territory to the, Town. I understood that a petition has been drawn up for the annexation of the territory adjoining the '"wn lim its on the. 'north. This matter will probably be presetted to the City Council (of net loii, and personally, 1 favor Increasing the town limits to Include this territory. Strict Enforcement of the Stock Law.
