OREGOXIAX NEWS BTTREAL, Wash ington. Dec 8. The handling and dis position of agricultural lands in for est reservations Is discussed at some length in the annual ' report of the Secretary of Agriculture, and the as sertion is made that In the past three years, since a systematic elimination of agricultural lands was begun about JO 000,000 acres have been eliminated, and opened to entry. It is further asserted that of the land now remain ing in reserves and in Government ownership, not to exceed 4.000.000 acres is agricultural in character. There are, Jn round numbers. 22,000.000 acres of private owned lands in the reserves to- dan making eliminations, the Secretary mvs that an effort has been made to ruminate all Important non-timbered lands chiefly valuable for agriculture and situated along the borders of tne forests, or running back from the bor ders Into the forests. Of the Govern ment land in reserves and held by tne department to be susceptible of cul tivation, the Secretary says a large percentage is now heavily timbered. "Such lands are at present not being opened to settlement," says the Secre tary, "because to open them would be Fimply to turn them over to timber speculators. To prevent an indefinite tvlng up of the land because of its timber value, the department as soon as possible will sell off the timber, and then list them for the benefit of bona fide homesteaders." tettlera Are Help to Fore"" The Secretary adds that -agricultural development within the forests is high ly desirable, not only because it car i . fnninuiital orlncipla of putting every kind of land to its most productive use, uui nu , - administration of the forests Is made easier by the presence of settlers. " forest put to work is a verydlf ferent thing from a wilderness, he j "The more people r?.,r .v.- ,-... the better. They are needed to use the resources. They are needed to help protect the forests. There is every reason why the settle ment of lands more valuable for agri cultural use than for forest should be i 1 ,,. facilitated." werewmuu ...... - .

Could Not Put Them in Water. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. St. Clair, Mo. "Mr iroubls began about fifteen years ago. It was what some claimed cseciaa, Tho form the dl9eaae worked under was a Dreauunc out wiiu watery blisters on tnr hands which would then dry and scale, and then would follow the troubls of cracking and bleeding, alao itching and hurtlni;. My hands were dlsflgured at the time, and sore. Tha trouble was fery annoying, and disturbed my sleep. This last February it was ever so much worse than before. I did not do aU my work on account of the condition of my hands. I could not put them in water without mak ing them worse. I tried a lot of home mnedies. also salves and liniment that claimed to be a cure for the trouble, but I did not obtain a euro. "At last I saw the advertisement for Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a sample. I thought they would cure, so I sent for a Cfty-cent box of Cuticura Ointment and some Cuticura Soap. A doctor advised me to keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment and they cured me completely. No trace of the fa-ouble remains." (Signed) Mrs. Mary Taylor. Mar. 29. 1912.
