Burns Writer Says- Many Abuses At
tach to Pinchotism as It Is
Practiced in Oregon.
BURNS, Or., March 1L (To the Editor.)
The people of Oregon appreciate the
manner in which The Oregonian has ex
posed the methods of the Forest Service
and the stand it has taken to have the
same' remedied.
New settlers coming lntd this part of
rne country are uniformly denied per
mission to graze more than 400 or 500
heead of sheep on the forest reserves
and the forest reserve officials, when
asked the reason for their action, state
mat tne range is already over-grazed
and they cite Instances where the large
sheep owners have been cut down in
their allotments in order to protect the
range. But it is known to most of us
that these large owners make nretended
Bales of their sheep to dummies, who
continue to run them on the reserves
for such large owners. Instances are
known where individual owners run as
many as 10,000 sheep on the reserves by
the use of these dummies, when, accord
ing to forest reserve regulations, they
should be permitted to run only one 'band
of 1200. Thus, by the present methods
of administering the forest reserves, a

set upon forest reserve timber, the free-

the settler must pay two or three prices

All the abuses mentioned above should

few large owners have
the range, and the new
eluded from Its benefits.
The fact that first-class agricultural
lands within the forest reserves, on which
there is any timber growing, can not be
settled upon. Is another abuse practiced
oy tne .forest Service. Numerous In
stances are known where settlers have
applied for permission to settle upon
good agricultural lands within the re
serves and have been denied such per
mission, because there were a few trees
growing upon the land. If one would
appreciate the real meaning of this sys
tem of conserving the National resources
he should consider for a moment .what
It would have meant to the states of
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois had the forest
reserve system been saddled upon them
when they were just beginning to de
velop their natural resources. Those
three great states would today have been
backwoods communities and would not
have even dreamed of their present de
velopment had they been hampered by
such a system. .
Not only do forest reserve officials do
everything in their power to keep the
country irom being settled, but they exert
themselves- to the utmost to have can
celled every homestead entry that was
made before the reserves were created.
They prefer charges against nearly every
homestead entry in the forest reserves,
and use their power of granting favors
to Induce persons to give evidence against
the entrymen. .
Again, the forest reserves are by law
declared to be open to prospecting and
mining, but the miners also come in for
their share of persecution by the forest
service. The forest rangers, who are
usually an ignorant set of men and who
know next to nothing about - the public
land laws, look upon the miners as a
lot of crooks who need "watching, and
they hound them and interfere with their
work to such an extent that it is almost
Impossible for the miners to operate upon
the reserve. Imagine a horny-handed
miner having his development work sub
jected to monthly Inspections by forest
rangers who know absolutely nothing
about mining, and having these ignor
amuses tell them that they have made
no discovery of minerals, but are only
holding the land on speculation. This
is what the miners of this state have to
endure.'
Not only are the miners pestered to
death by the forest rangers, but the for
est supervisors permit their friends to
run sheep on the lands covered by the
miners' locations, which results in the
destruction of the grass that should be
left for the miners' few head of domestic
animals.
The Forest Service also imposes a great
burden upon settlers by charging them
extortionate prices for timber for domes-
Heavenly Visitor Appears Like Star
Seen Through Cloud, but
Grows Brighter.
SILVERTON, Or.. March 1L (To the
Editor.) I have been observing what I
suppose to be Halley s comet for three
evenings during this clear weather. If
I am right, as I think I am, it is now
in Perseus and is in the northwest and
about 20 degrees above the horizon at
8 o'clock in the evening. It can be
plainly seen with an ordinary pair of
field glasses, and, once located, can
even be easily seen with the naked
eye. Through the glass it appears ,
very much like a star showing through
a thin cloud, but it Is slowly growing
brighter each evening.
It does not seem to show length, as
the one did some weeks ago, as it ap
pears now more like a nebula, but does
not separate when observed through a
glass, as a nebula does. I would (ike
to have some' of the Portland star-
gazers take a look for it and tell me
whether I am right or not.
