iSPEGIAL RULING
SAVES REGIMENT
War Department Lets Fourth
j Infantry, 0. N. G., Remain
' ... Intact in Service.
REGULATIONS PUT ASIDE
Secretary of War Iecldes That the
Southern Oregon Command May
Have More Time In Which to
' Acquire 3icv Companies.
' Rather than run any risk of lnsing any
of the menppr troops now subject to Its
call for offense or defense, a special rul
ing has been made by the War Dcpart
ment permitting; the Fourth Oregon In
fantry to retain Its regimental identltv.
notwithstanding it lacks a full battalion
of being a regulation regiment. Announce
ment of this ruling was received at Na
'tlonal Guard headquarters yesterday, and
the word was" forwarded immediately to
the headquarters of the Southern Oregon
command, at Eugene, where it is expert
led to arouse enthusiasm and awaken the
(warring interest of the Southern Oregon
Guardsmen in things military.
Dick Law Ofrset.
The ruling serves to offset the effects of
the Dick law, which provides that no
Federal appropriations shall be given for
support of Incomplete- regiments after
January 21. 1910. Although Adjutant-Gen-,
eral Finzer had 'been working- several
. months for a special ruling, little en
! couragement was given by the War De
partment until recently. Some time ago
it was decided to transfer the Southern
Oregon- regiment Into the Coast Artillery
Reserve Corps for auxiliary service In ih
fortifications at. the mouth of the Colum
bia River. Announcement of that fact
was made following a meeting of the gen
eral staff, which controls the affairs of
the Oregon National Guard.
Naturally, the Fourth Regiment did not
favor the idea of going Into the Coast
Artillery service. The members long have
heen proud of their regiment and Its
achievements nt Summer joint maneu
vers. Incidentally, the command long has
. been successful in capturing the bulk of
; the desirable awards and trophies for
: marksmanship. However. the officers
I said they would do tiieir best to awaken
; the interest of the men in artillery. A
vote was taken, and only one company
signified a willingness for transfer.
When this state of affairs was made
, known to the War Department, Colonel
j K. M. Weaver, C. S. A., Chief of Division
; of the tlencral Staff Corps, advised Oen
' eral Finzer that the experience has been
found general where efforts have been
made to convert infantry into coast ar
tillery. Xcw Artillery Hest.
"It is generally impracticable," said
Colonel Weaver in his letter, "unless ab
solutely necessary, to transfer infantry
companies to the coast artillery branch,
, for the reason that invariably there are
two distinct cliques developed, one fac
tion favoring the old infantry wtirk and
i the other favoring the new artillery work,
f It is thought to be much better to organ
' ize new coast artillery companies."
' At first the War Department urged the
i formation of four new companies of in
j fantry to complete the Southern Oregon
' regiment, but the small military appro
' priatlon made by the last Legislature was
not sufficient for that purpose. The de
partment then suggested that, inasmuch
as the Fourth wasn't enthusiastic about
the change to artillery, it might be pos
sible to get three companies of artillery
out of the eight Infantry companies. Fi
nally came the letter yesterday, announc
ing that the Secretary of War had. used
I his discretion as to the enforcement of
the law, and had decided to permit the
regiment to stand and continue drawing
Its Federal allowance.
More Companies Wanted.
While this ruling applies for an indefi
nite period, it will bo necessary, never-
theless. eventually to bring the Fourth
i up to the requirements of the regulations.,
j General Finzer said yesterday that the
. general staff will ask the next Legisla
ture for a small additional appropriation
j for organization and support of four new
j companies. As soon as practicable, three
i more companies of coast artillery will be
organized, one of them to be stationed at
Marshfteld. on Coos Bay. One company
Is already In existence at Astoria. The
location of the other companies has yet
to be determined.
The companies of the Fourth Regiment
which will benefit by the ruling announced
yesterday are stationed as follows: Head
quarters and two companies at Eugene,
one company each, at Cottage Grove, Mc
Minnvllle, Albany, Dallas, Roseburg and
Ashland. The commanding officer Is Colo
nel George O. Yoran, of Eugene, and the
battalion .commanders are Major F. B.
Hamlin, of Roseburg. and Major Creed
C. Hammond, of Eugene.
RAISING NEW FORESTS
Special Reference Made to Oregon's
Timber Supply.
KELSO. "Wash., Dec. 13. (To the Edi
tor. in a recent Issue of The Oregon! an.
I noted a criticism of an article written
by myself and published in the Septem
ber issue of the Timberman, upon the re
forestation of our burned-over and logged
off lands.
I am thankful for the fair and Intelli
gent criticism given for I feel that the
last word has not been spoken on this
important subject, and that it is only by
discussion that public interest can be
aroused, so that our present forests will
be conserved and our burned-over and
logged-off lands be reforested. We have
within the states of Oregon and Washing
ton hundreds of thousands of acres of
such land that are at present producing
nothing, that could easily be producing
wealth at the rate of $6 each year per
acre, the crop to be harvested by the
coming generation, 40 to 100 years hence.
We are at present robbing nature's vast
storehouse of her wealth, and putting
nothing back. Benjamin Franklin once
said: "Always taking out of the meal
tub and putting nothing in, soon reaches
the bottom." That is exactly what we
are doing with our forests. We owe it to
our children and our children's children,
to change our methods and begin raising
new forests to replace the ones we are
destroying by our wasteful work. We
have the soil and the climate, the con
ditions are Ideal for the raising of im
mense forests, owing to our heavy rain
fall. Yet a great deal of this mountain
ous land, owing to the fact that it is
steep and rocky, is suitable for little else
than growing these giant forests.
r quote, oo less a person than James J.
Kill when I say that an acre of timber will
furnish us much tonnage for a railroad,
t an acre devoted to the raising of wheat

ay It will produce one-half as much
wealth as an acre of iajiU devoted to the'

But it takes a lifetime to raise

of taxation the values will all be con-

I think, a proper subject for the state and
National governments to take hold of,
and it Is only through Intelligent discus
sion of the subject that the people will
or can be sufficiently interested and
aroused to see the great importance of
this source of wealth.
I wish to briefly answer the last clause
of The Oregonian criticism, where it says:
'The only weakness it exhibits is in the
premise that fruitgrowers and so on, are
not taxed while waitir.g for their crop.
Mr. Young can relieve his brain of this
dear illusion by the simple process of
setting out an orchard. If the tax on the
land where he plants his trees does not
double Instantly It will be a blessed excep
tion to a universal rule. The truth of the
matter is that our entire system of taxa
tion seems to have been planed" to smother
productive industry." Now, although The
Oreeonian's criticism was aimed at me,
it nearly missed. I did not say that fruit
growers and so on are not taxed while
waiting for their crop.
What I did say was this: "But a sys
tem that does not tax the growing crops
of the farmer, the gardener or the fruit
grower (mind, the trees are not the crop
with the fruitgrower) and taxes the grow
ing crop of timber over and over, and at
a rate that will confiscate the entire crop
in 30 to 35 years when it takes from 40
to 100 years to raise this crop, is cer
tainly open to valid objection."
I agree with T.te. Oregonian in hoping
that the people who make the laws mav
be set to thinking, and that. in the near
future our system of taxation may be
changed to a system that does not
smother productive industry. That this
unwise system of taxation may be
brought to public notice, especially In so
far as It affects an fndu.try which from
the very nature of things should he one
of our chief sources of wealth for all
time, is my excuse for this letter.

FEAST EYES WITH BEAUTY
But Theater Advertising-Curtain
Won't, Says Writer.
PORTLAND Dec. 13. (To the Editor.)
The "Woman's Club of Portland, In
dorsing all progressive movements, and
being particularly Interested In the civic
improvement of the city and working
for the banishment of things unsani
tary, unsightly and unattractive. is
greatly pleased to note that the Port
land Theater has taken the Initiative
in abolishing that offense to the eye and
to good taste, the advertising drop-curtain,
and by unanimous vote has au
thorized a public expression of Its com
mendation and gratitude to the man
agement for this action, by which a boon
has been conferred upon the theater
going public and a stand taken for civic
Improvement and for beauty.
The wish of the club Is that other
theaters may follow this commendable
example, and that many a performance,
otherwise enjoyable. should not be
marred by enforced contemplation of an
aggregation of signs, ugly and obnoxious
bringing the well-deserved criticisms
of the "stranger within our gates" as to
the commercialism and conditions of the
West.
The love of the beautiful Is cultivated
by placing beautiful things in evidence,
and the standard Is lowered by unsightly
vulgarity. All honor to those who are
taking steps in the right direction toward:
the refinements of beauty and the ad
vancement of the civic pride of the city,
and to the management of the Portland
Theater are due the especial thanks of
the Woman's Club.

No Trouble at All to Know When
Your Kidneys and Bladder
Are Diseased.
Tou don't have to have a doctor or
anybody else to tell you that. When
your kidneys and bladder become
weak, exhausted and diseased, the
symptoms are very plain and unmis
takable. Tou must first understand
that all kidney and bfadder diseases
are directly due to uric acid poison in
the system.
Those wearisome, continuous back
aches those excruciating, sharp, stab
bing pains and "catches" In the back,
hips and groins (when you attempt to
lift something or to straighten up too
quickly) those rheumatic pains and
twinges) all signify kidney and blad
der disease. Then take warning for
foolish neglect may soon mean serious
and fatal consequences.
DeWitt's Kidney and Bladder Pills
have afforded prompt and permanent
relief In every case of kidney and blad
der disease no matter how far ad
vanced where they have been given
an honest trial. Uric acid cannot pos
sibly resist the marvelously cleansing-,
antiseptic, soothing, healing and cura
tive action of these Pills. They insure
positive relief and freedom from all
conditions or symptoms of kidney and
bladder diseases, as above mentioned.
They also prevent (or cure, if taken in
time) many far more fatal diseases
such as diabetes, dropsy and Brlght's
disease.
Mr. Wallace H. Brunner, 3214 Ohio

my own missionary work among hotel
men, railroad men and others in the dif

safe to say we shall have a far greater
outpouring of Easterners at our next
annual Rose Festival than we have ever

QUALITY
IN EXPERIENCE
Experience Is a thing: of quality as well
as quantity. Years of practice are no true
measure of a physician's skill. Medical spe
cialists, as a rule, give prominent mention to
the number of years they have devoted to
the practice of the various specialties. In
this regard I do not differ from most other
specialists. I frequently state that I have
treated men only for 25 years. This is a
thing of importance that can be told in a few
words. That's why I tell It so often. The
thing I now wish to tell about requires more
space In telling, and I may or may not tell it
more than this once.
Experience isn't worth much unless it has
quality, In it. In fact. It isn't worth any
thing. It is Just like all other bad things
the greater the quantity the more badness
there is. I do not mean this as a personal
reference xo any ocner aoctor, wnetner gener
al practitioner or specialist. I merely make the statement because It is
the truth that has application here. To do a thing wronglv a thousand
time only fits one for doing It wrongly again, and the oftener he does it
wrongly, the le.-. apt he is to do it rightly? To treat a thousand patients
Indifferently or carelessly doesn't make skill but it adds indiffer
ence and carelessness. To treat a thousand patients thoughtfully, care
fully and conscientiously develops skill, a thing of value to the physician
himself, and to every patient he may treat thereafter. This is experience
of quality. It Is a kind of experience that I have been constantly ac
quiring for 16 years.
I have carried no moss-grown theories or methods with me. Others
may cling to theories I prefer truths. I have put thought and study
Into all my work that I might ascertain the truth and make ny troar
ment scientific I have felt a personal interest in the welfare of my
patients, and have treated them carefully and conscientiously. I havo
studied each case I treated. I have learned the truths that I have
suught, and have made my treatments scientific. I attempt to cure only
those cases that I am positively certain that I can cure, and the dis
eases that I can cure and do cure are all ailments peculiar to men. I am
able to cure them because of the quantity and quality of my escperlrnce.
