Hermann Guided by Tlaeni.
WASHINGTON. A.MS- 13. In order to
refresh the memory of the Hon. S. B.
Ormsby, Forest Superintendent for Ore
gon, and at the same time further en
lighten the people of Qregon, a liberal
quotation from the official records of the
General Land Office are here made to
show -who recommended the recent and
other enlargements of the Cascade For
est Reserve, and for what reasons, In
official language, the enlargement was
made. It will be seen that Mr. Ormsby's
recollection Is somewhat at fault, at
least In certain important particulars,
which fact may account for his directly
conflicting recommendations in the case
at issue. In spite of his denial that he
recommended an enlargement of the
Cascade Reserve on the west, by the ad
dition of 23 townships, the records show
that he did recommend such an addition,
and in clear, specific language, and not
in mere "terms such as would justify
Commissioner Hermann In his conclu
v elon." To be just to Mr. Ormsby, how
ever, it must be said that his first rec-
ommendatlon was before he had made
a careful examination of these 23 town
ehlps, and knew nothing of what propor
tion was covered by grants, patents or
entries. Later, when he became thor
ough!' acquainted with the facts, he re
called this original recommendation. The
question may well be raised, however,
whether the honorable Forest Superin
tendent acted wisely or justifiably In
recklessly recommending the addition of
-a tract of 23 townships to the reserve
when he knew nothing about the land
more than that it was covered with
timber.
Ormsby's First Recommendation.
On December 20, 1S97, shortly - after S.
B. Ormsby had been appointed Forest
Superintendent for Oregon, he submitted
4o the Commissioner of the General Land
Office a recommendation for certain
changes In the boundary of the Cascade
Forest Reserve. At that time, according
to the official records, he recommended
that townships 22 and 23 south, ranges
S and S east, be set apart as agricultural
and grazing land. This tract, he stated,
was bottom meadow lands, contained no
timber of commercial value, and would
not act as a cover to the water supply.
On the same date he recommended the
extension of the reserve on the west by
the following additions:
Beginning at and including T. 5 S., R. 4 E.,
nd extending south to and including T. 17
B R. E., beinc 13 townships along the
uestern border. Also, beginning at and In
cluding T. 22 S., R. 1 "W., and extending south
to and including T. 31 S.. R. 1 "W.. along the
western border, and including 10 townships.
The reasons for extending the reserve in this
direction are good and sufficient.
First, there -would still remain west of the
line of these additions a large amount of -valu-eblo
timber sufficient for all purposes for many
years to come; indeed, the same might be
said If the additions were two townships In
stead of one. as now proposed.
Second, the extension of the limits of the
reserve six .nlles further westward along the
proposed line would more effectually protect
the headwaters of the Clackamas, Molalla,
Aberqua, Butte, North, Middle and South
branches of the Santlam, and all the east
.branches of the Willamette and TJmpqua. The
9eadwaters of the streams, especially those
dong the northern proposed addition, have
the most of their sources west of the present
31ne of the reserve, and this extension would
pnly embrace what Is necessary to secure a
sufficient water-cover Xor the streams above
incntloned. .
Third, because this extension would not In
fringe upon the rights of settlers in any
jmarked degree, for few claims have been lo
cated and few entries made. There are, how
ever, a few filings at the local land offices, but
fin most cases made to procure timber, and
iiot for the purpose of Clearing the land for
tillage; nor will there be In the future, as
the territory is heavily wooded throughout, and
Valuable only for timber. These recommenda
tions. If carried out, would reduce the re
serve 82,160 acres, and increase it 529,020 acres.
The reasons here given for the proposed
phange in the limits of the reserve seem suf
ficient, and I believe It should be made.
On May 17, 1901, Superintendent Orms
by made the following statement to the
Commissioner, counteracting the effect
ttt his prior recommendation.:
I believe the limit of the reserve on the west
fcide will remain as It now Is. The lands
Oylng along this line and outside tha reserve
early all passed Into the hands of corpora
tions and individuals, and the reserve Is not
likely to be extended. Nor are there agri
cultural lands within its limits to call for its
leurtaHment. I consider tms line then will be
permanent.
Became Better Informed.
It is assumed that between the time of
jthe first recommendation, and the last
quoted letter, Mr. Ormsby ascertained
paore definitely the character of the lands
originally recommended to be included
Sn the reserve, and finding them to be,
ror the most part, in the hands of corpo
rations and private owners, saw the
jfolly of Including the two vast tracts
Sn the reserve, thereby creating vast and
extended base for lieu selections, which
would be enjoyed by these holders, and
particularly the Oregon & California
Sailroad Company, whose grant extends
Cnto these -two tracts.
The above cited reports are now on file
Sn the General Land Office, being writ
ten in the characteristic backhand of Mr.
Ormsby. The quotations were made from
the original papers, by permission of
Commissioner Hermann, who expresses
a. desire to put an end to the clamor that
ias been raised by The Oregonlan over
the recent enlargement of the Cascade
Reserve, and to what he terms an "un
just and outrageous attack upon Mr.
Ormsby." While Mr. Ormsby's recom
mendations in the end did not include
the two strips to the west of the Cascade
JReserve. those recommendations on file
fit the time the printed report on pro
posed forest reserves was Issued did con
tain such a recommendation from Mr.
Ormsby. Hence his denunciation of The
Oregorilan's Salem correspondent Is alto
gether unjustified.
If Mr, Ormsby had withheld his first
recommendation until he had had oppor
tunity carefully to examine the tracts
on the western border of the reserve, he
would probably never have gone on rec
ord as favoring such an addition. The
facts, as they exist, seem to Justify the
conclusion that In his wild desire to
appear active, he rushed forward,
promptly upon being commissioned, with
a great recommendation, which has
eervea to discredit his judgment ever
since.
But a further perusal of the records
will throw additional light on the topic
Late In 1S93 the General Land Office re
ferred to -Mr. Ormsby a series of peti
tions, signed by George TV". Johnson and
others, praying that the east line of the
reserve be moved six miles further-east,
between the east fork of Hood River on
the north, and White River on the south,
and that all of township 1 north, range
Jl east, also be Included in the reserve.
Report on Petitions.
"Under date of December 20, 1893, Super
intendent Ormsby made a very full and
detailed report on the petitions, as well
as on other tracts of land, which he him
self deemed suitable for Inclusion In the
reserve, After describing the topog
raphy of these tracts generally, Mr.
Ormsby, in his report, stated:
T. 1 N. and 1 S., R. 31 E., contain come
agricultural land which has been filed upon or
entered T. 1 N. has 20 homestead flllngsr in
cluding an aggregate of 4 sections, and one
cash entry of section. T. 1 S. has 16 home
Read entries, Including an aggregate of about
four sections, in addition to 12 cash entries,
including 25i sections.
Ormsby had been informed that sev
pral persons holding homestead claims
on land in these two townships had
signed the petition in question, but, by
comparing with the records, could Iden
tify but one such. He concluded fr,om
that that the settlers were not anxious
to be Included In the reservation. He
says the land in the two townships Is not
better adapted for agriculture than forest
purposes. For these reasons he recom
mended that townships 1 north and 1
south, range 11 east, be not Included in
the Cascade Forest Reserve. The report
continues:
The conditions on T.-2, 3 and 4. S., R. 11 E.,
are somewhat different. In T. 2 S. there were
12 homestead filings, representing entries made
for the purpose of obtaining the timber and
for speculation.
He adds that the final proof in this
case is but an organised system of per
jury. The lands in question will not be
settled upon and improved. They are es
sentially forest lands, and in no 'way
adapted to agriculture.
T. 4 S , R. 11 E., has three permanent set
tlers, representing three quarter sections of
land. There were also three cash entries-and
one state selection (school), representing one
half section.
This was at -that time the status of the
land- In the three townships under con
sideration, and which .recently have
been 'added to the reserve by order of
the President."
In support of his belief that this ex
tension should be made, Mr. Ormsby
said:
I think it can be shown that the Depart
ment has a good and valid reason for acting
in the matter, regardless of what may be
asserted or claimed by opposing interests.
In summarising his reasons for reco'm
mendlng the inclusion within the reserve
of these three townships, Mr. Ormsby
said:
Because the lands are essentially forest lands
and valuable for forest purposes only.
Because the timber now remaining on these
lands should receive such protection from dep
redation by Individuals and destruction by Are
as may be given it Inside a forest reserve.
Because the amount of land on this territory
that may be cultivated is so limited and the
expense of clearing It and renderings It fit for
cultivation so great as "to preclude Its settle
ment for use for agricultural purposes.
To better enable those parts now depleted
by the woodman's ax and by fire to produce a
second growth and restore the forest.
Because no reason can be given why ,any
of the territory east of the East Fork of
Hood River should be included in a forest
reservation, that will not apply to the lands
In question.
In these considerations I have not taken no
tice of the fact that there ar several home
stead entries on these lands, but they do not
represent bona fide settlers, except In the in
stances mentioned, and should have, I think,
little influence in deciding this question. I
would therefore respectfully recommend that
T. 2, 3 and 4 S., R. 11 E., be Included in
the Cascade Reserve.
Went Beyond the Petitions.
Referring to township 5 south, ranges
9 and 10, Mr. Ormsby states that these
townships are not mentioned in the
Johnson petition, and says:
There is no expressed desire to have these
lands included In the reserve, but I shall ask
the Department to consider the matter of
Including them within Its limits. I have not
been able ,tO determine why this territory was
omitted when the reservation was established.
1 hear that a corporation known as the Clear
Lake Irrigation Company was operating on
this land at the time the lines of the reserve
were established and the influence of this
company xnay have had something to do in
determining where the lines should run, but
operations have been suspended for some time,'
and the company seems to have abandoned the
enterprise. But even if It ahoulS resumo,
there Is nothing In the rules and regulations
governing the reserve that Vould interfere
with its rights and privileges. On a former
occasion I passed through these" lands, and
have waited only for an opportunity to Include
them with others to be added to the reserved
The essential reaoons why this territory
should be Included In the reserve are the
following:
The entire territory Is well timbered, which
stands intact save two or three considerable
areas where It has been destroyed by fire..
It is essentially forest land; it is not adapted
to agriculture and there are but two home
stead entries on said lands'.
The Oak Grove Road passes directly through
it, and there Is no break in the timber from
the Summit House to the eastern boundary of
this land. At present the forest rangers patrol
the Oak Grove Road to. the limit of the reserve
adjoining this land, leaving 12 miles of this
road, passing through thick timber, unguarded.
This land should be Included, then, as a
means of .safety to other parts of the reserve.
These considerations I thlmc sufficient to war
rant the recommendations that the two town
ships, 5 S., R. 0 and 10 E., be included In
the limits of the Cascade Reserve.
At this point In the report, a correc
tion is noted by Mr. Ormsby, as follows:
I have previously stated that I find settlers
so located on T. 1 N. and 1 5. as to make
the division of these townships impracticable,
and so it appeared on examination, but on
designating the entries on the plat It appears
that the S. of 1 S. has no entries, and as it
is essentially the same in every particular, I
will change my recommendation to Include
that also.
In speaking of T. 5 S., R. 0 and 10 E. I wish
to include a strip about two miles in width
lying between the south line of these town
ships and the north line of the Warm Springs
Reservation, a part of which is not surveyed,
thus extending the reserve to the north line
of the Warm Springs Indian Reservation.
In conclusion, Mr. Ormsby recommends
the prayer of the petitioners applying to
the above noted sections be granted. As
regards township 1 -north, and the north
half of township 1 south, range 11 east,
he recommends that their prayer be not
granted. He also Indorsed their petition
as regards the other three townships, and
recommended that all herded stock be
excluded from the tract which has sub
sequently been added to the reserve.
Hermann Followed Ormsby.
The records of the Land Office con
clusively show that Commissioner Her
mann,, in recently recommending the ad
dition of .142,050 acres to the reserve.
acted in exact accordance with the rec
ommendation of Mr. Ormsby.
The Commissioner, referring to Orms
by's recommendation of December 20, 1897.
said In a letter to the Secretary, last
June:
It appears ,that this recommendation was
made before the status of the lands was fully
ascertained; snd subsequently, on May. 17,
l&Ol. Superintendent Ormsby submitted a. fur
ther report, In which he stated that the lands
lying along the west side of the reserve have
nearly all passed into the hands of corpora
tions and Individuals. An examination of the
tract books of this office, as regards these
townships, shows that the lands have been
appropriated to such a large extent that there
does not remain sufficient vacant, unoccupied
land therein to warrant the tracts being added
to the reserve.
After quoting further from Superintend
ent Ormsby's recommendations, given,
above, the Commissioner says:
The reported status of 'all these townships on
the eastern boundary of the reserve is borne
out by the records In this office.
On June 14, 1901, Senator Mitchell for
warded to the Land Office a letter from
Forest Supervisor W. H. H. Dufur, In
which he urged granting the prayers of
the Johnson petition with regard to all
lands, with the exception of township 1
north, township 1 south, and the east half
of township 2 south, ranBe 11 east, which
he suggests being excluded on account of
the settlement therein.
The Commissioner, In concluding his
recommendation to the Secretary, said:
I am of the opinion that reasons assigned
by Superintendent S. B. Ormsby In his reports
of December 20, 1500, and December 24, 1000,
for the recommendation made by him regard
ing the lands which he deems it advisable to
have added to the reserte, are good and suf
ficient to warrant the enlargement of the rf
serve as proposed by him.
The Commissioner also recommended
the exclusion from the reserve of town
ships 22 and 23 south, range 9 east, and
that they be restored to settlement, as
was done by order of the President.
The letter of W. H. H. Dufur, above
referred tor relative to the lands lying
east of the reserve and north of White
River, Is In part as follows:
I think from what I have been informed
that in all probability 1 S. and 1 N., also the
E. J of 2 S., should not be attached to the
reserve, for the reason that too many claims
hae been filed upon these lands. In my
Judgment It Is nothing more than Justice and
right to grant the petition of the citizens
askingfor this extension.
I am Informed there are something like 1000
names to the petition. The people live adja
cent to and are vitally interested in the ex
tension. A large number of the streams that
supply these people wlthwater for Irrigation
purposes, etc., head upon this district. There
Is also a large amount of timber upon said
district, and In order to secure a permanent
water supply and have the timber taken care
of, they hae asked for this extension, and
In my Judgment It should be granted.

Note. The accompanying map shows the changes made and proposed in the Cascade Forest
Reserve. The main body of the reserve, marked A, is as originally created. B and C are
the two tracts to the west, which were originally recommended for addition to the reserve by
Superintendent Ormsby, but which ha'e not bepn added because of the base that would be
created by such action. B embraces 13 townships, or 209.520 acres. C embraces 10 .town
ships, or 230,400 acreB. The tract marked D embraces two townships and a strip about two
miles wide and 12 miles long, which waa addtd to the reserve on the recommendation of Mr.
Ormsby. E Is a tract of 3 townships, added to the reserve upon the Joint recommendation
or the Johnson petitioners and Mr. Ormobj, whim F Jn the tract or one township ana a
half asked to b added by tha petitioners, but which was adversely reported on by Mr. Orms
by, and was not Included. G represents the two townships excluded from the reserve by re
cent order of the President, on recommendation f Commissioner Hermann and Mr. Ormsby.
In other words, the reserve today embraces all of tract A except G, and all of tracts D
and E. Tracts B, C and F have not been added.
Cascade Forest Reserve taken Into the limits
of that reserve, in order to give them pro
tection from fires through the services of the
forest rangers. The lands Jn question are:
Townships 5 to 17 S.. R. 4 E. of W. M.
Townships 22 to 31 S., R. 1 W. of W. M.
South Vt T. 1 S., R. 11 E. of W. M.
Townships 2. 3 and 4 S.. R. 11 E. of W. M.
Township 5 S., R. 0 and 10 E. of W. M.
And the strip of land lying between said last
named township and the north lino of the
yarm Springs Indian Reservation.
These additions have been recommended by
Forest Superintendent Ormsby.
There are scarcely any settlers within the
boundaries of these additions; the land Is
rough and mountainous, and valuable mpre
for the timber than for agricultural purposes.
In fact If the timber were burned off the
lands would be almost worthless, hence the
desire of owners of land within these additions'
to have them brought within the protection
of the forest rangers.
We bellevp this action of adding these lands
to the reserve to be in accordance with your
views and recommendations to Congress that
all lands more valuable for forests than agri
cultural should be taken Into reserves, there
fore we ask. If this meets with your approval,
to have some action taken In tho matter, at
your earliest convenience.

The following letter to Commissioner

appears:
WASHINGTON. D. C. March 0, 1001.
Referring to our conversation or yesterday
regarding the Increase of the Cascade Forest
Reserve near White River, asked for by Hon.
George W. Johnston, of Dufur, and about 1000
settlers, and recommended by Superintendent
Ormsby December 20, 1800; also by letter of
January 2, 1001, on file In your office with
the report, I would say that It Is now my
opinion that the recommendation of Captain
Ormsby should oe adopted. X would also sug
gest that If the supervisors' recommendations
are to be approved, that action be taken aa
speedily as possible, before the sheep move
Into the proposed reserve.
The retHIoners, as I recall ti ask to have
five townships on the east side of Hood River
added to the reserve. The supervisor very
properly reports against 1 or two town
ships, and recommends including three which
the petitioners pray for, and after visiting tho
territory, adds two other townships further
south of the reserve. These townships are
along the headwaters of streams running Into
the Dufur settlement, excepting the two on
the south, which are on the slope toward
' Warm Springs. The country therein is more

or less timbered, and has been used for years
for pasturage purposes. Under the rule of
your Department permitting graelng In this
reserve, I do not hesitate now to indor$e
tho recommendation of Ormsby, Including Ihln
new territory, and ask that my request to
hold up for further Information be withdrawn.
(Signed) MALCOLM A. MOODY,
M. C. Second Oregon District.
What Hermann Says.
Commissioner Hermann says that at tne
request of Mr. Moody he held up his rec
ommendation for the enlargement of the
reserve until he (Moody) had an opportu
nity to satisfy himself of the merits of
Mr. Ormsby's modified recommendation?.
The above letter released the matter, and
It was then taken up aqd pressed through.
In Conclusion, It may be well to quote
Commissioner Hermann briefly:
"I am. perfectly satisfied wjth the recent
enlargement of the Cascade Reserve,"
said he to The Oregortian correspondent.
"It was as clean arid meritorious a trans
action as has ever been wade by any
department of tho Government, and I
would not hesitate tomorrow to recom
mend a thousand enlargements on the
same basis. There were no railroad grants
In that tract, and practical) no base was
created by our action.
"On the contrary, when we came io
carefully examine the records, we found
that the proposed additions on the west
were studded with grant lands arid en
tries, and for that reason I specifically
recommended that these tracts be not
added to the "Cascade Reserve.
'I further believe that this whole agita
tion Is unwarranted, The transaction his
been closed, the addition has been made,
so what difference does it make who rec-

records will vindicate our action, and I
hope, by laying them fully before (the peo

" Xo Petrified Men.
New York Times.
The joung geologist wh.o sent a petrified
human being ta the Smithsonian Institu
tion builded better than he knew. He
drew from a high authority the statement
that a real petrilied man or woman had
not yet been discovered. The bones of
petrified human beings up to the present
time have on examination been found to
consl&t of sections of sasptpe. Now there
have been persons In whom the presence
of large quantities of gaspipe would have
seemed perfectly natural, but It Is not on
record that any of these would have pet
rified in any combination of chemical cir
cumstances conceivable to the mind of
man. The truth is that the only petrified
man is he of commerce, made to sell the
credulous countryman, afflicted with the
museum habit. And now a ruthless scien
tist has exposed the fraud and the coun
tryman will be fooled no more. Ah, no!
Have countless exposures of the green
goods game ended the gullibility of the
countryman In relation to common green
paper? We may rest assured that the
exhibition of petrified human beings will
continue to flourish in rural districts.
The FlRhterV Fleeting Fame.
New York Press.
The death of Peter Jackson reminds one
that the only person who is more quickly
forgotten than a vanquished and retired
politician is a vanquished and retired
prizefighter.
The Fiftb Victim.
CHICAGO, Aug. IS. Mrs. Kate Trahr.
who was injured in the grade crossing
accident at the Forty-seventh-street
crossing of the Pennsylvania Railroad last
