(To the Editor.) A few days ago we noticed an Interview with Mr. Furnish, relative to forest re serves, and the statement that 'the objec tions to tho Eastern Oregon reserve would be formulated and forwarded to the de partment at Washington. Later Mr. Mln to took up tho matter, arguing for the settler In these mountain districts, amid the beauties of the forest, and giving- his own lovo of trees as the reisons for his opposition. In your Issue of September 16 Judge Clifford states his objections to "be that he does not approve It as now pro posed, malrfly because he cannot be as sured of how the privileges are to be dis tributed, etc. It seems the citizens of Burns have brought the matter before the people of Portland for an expression upon the subject, urging In substance that all the timber necessary to the farmers will be thus appropriated and that the coun try will suffer accordingly. These various propositions will bear comment First, it may be stated that Judge Clif ford's conditions cannot be complied with. The general Government will no doubt give the rights and privileges named to those who show the best claim and com ply with the conditions prescribed. That all who have equitable claims may alike trust to thit justice of the general Gov ernment, no citizen should doubt More than this no assurance can or will be given. The hardships named are no oth ers than Western and Western-Eastern Oregon have suffered by reason of the Cascade reserve extending through the state. Half of Multnomah and Clackama3 and large areas In Marlon, Linn, Lane, Douglas and Jackson Counties, as well as on the east. In Klamath, Crook and Was co, are all entitled to the same kick as our Blue Mountain friends. Yet would the general public consent to opening this re serve? Surely we know of thousands who would like to file claims, also of hundreds of Eastern capitalists who will never see Oregon or have any local Interest, yet would like to have these good people file their claims. And there Is the rub! The nigger In the woodpile! What are some of the reasons for mak ing the reserve? It would place the con trol and disposition of this1 timber In the general Government under stricter rule3 than now obtain. Under such control for est fires that have swept many human victims, hundreds of homes and thousands of dollars worth of property to destruc tion within 10 days 'would be largely If not wholly forestalled. The burning of the little slashing by the honest (?) set tler that he makes to show compliance with law, is the fire that heats the at mosphere and makes such conflagrations possible. That the preservation of our for ests affects the rainfall is not questioned any more, If It ever was. Nor Is it ques tioned that our chief reliance for success Inheres In preserving the gradual precipi tation during out Winter months, a direct consequence of conditions promoted by our heavy forests. Oregon soil Ls very subject to wash In the hills, where are our most productive lands, and If we pro mote heavy rains, these farms will soon repose In the Willamette and other rivers of the state. But coming to the final an alysis of the question, who are to be ben efited or Injured by the reserve. let us consider facts. Jt Is beyond question that if these lands are valuable for timber they will go like all others on the Coast Into the control of large holdings of East ern capitalists who have no interests but to combine and force up . the product when wo shall most need It in the future. The honest settler may have received $50 or $500 for his "rights." The locator his $100 fee. The money-lender his 10 per cent on a small loan. And here and there a Furnish or Clifford may secure a claim they can afford to hold. What would the settler get If honest? Examine the records of the Surveyor General's office of Oregon for the town ships In the "proposed reserve, and what find we? In almost every case the. de scription at the end of each mile Is land mountainous, or very mountainous brok en by canyons, soil rocky or gravelly, sec ond rate along the streams, and third and fourth rate elsewhere, covered with dense forests of timber, or heavy timber, etc The general descriptions of these townships win ail read: "This township, ls very mountainous and broken, well watered by many mountain streams, with very narrow valleys of first to second rato soil, and soil on tHe remainder is rocky, third and fourth rate. The entire township is covered with a dense growth of pine, fir. tamarack, and so forth, tim ber of good quality." On the other hand, let us suppose the Government Is In control of this reserva tion. After a few years our forests have been swept away, some by the saw, some by fire, and the dear people turn for their supply of timber to build homes to the reserve. The general Government, direct ed by the same wise policy that has prompted these reserves, will have en acted laws for the safe and proper distri bution of the matured timber so as to preserve the forests, supply the demands and receive something like the real value of this product Oh, but says .our oppo nent, our state will have been robbed of large revenue in the sale of these lands, and also the right and profit of taxing them for the general good. If this is a Juat claim, and It ls so, the general. Gov ernment can be made to sec It and will repay our losses upon the sale of this timber. Many years hence our school fund so wantonly destroyed by our past and present disposition of state 'lands might be replenished In this way when wc most need It. And lastly, has It occurred to you that these reservations and the possible future disposition of them by the Government la in line with the conditions of paternalism or socialism the great trusts In other branches of trade and Industry are forcing upon us today? We have coal famine, salt famine, meat famine, and It Is an easy step to a lumber famine. We are already so completely within the power of this monster, let us here call a halt as to what reserve or resources the Govern ment may control. X-RAYS. He TVns Sorry That He Spoke.

These cars would make a train over two miles long. The volumes placed end to end would extend for a distance of 132 miles. The leaves placed end to end would extend 5283 miles.

One day, when the waves were rather rough, she waded far J out, noiatng careiuiiy to tne nie line, hoping by its aid to get out beyond broken water. She had just about reached the desired spot when a huge roller swept her off her feet. Her skirt wrapped around the life line and down she went headlong, in company with a bunch of other adventurous bathers. Of course, every one began a frantic strug gle to reach the surface, and in the mix up Miss Lakeside got a kick that took from her all that was left of her wind.

He had painted two pictures In the presence of the class. .Each persons, with note book In hand, watched his every stroke and listened intently to hl5 every word. As the last lesson was drawing to a close one member conceived the Idea that the class procure cne of the pictures pamted to be used as a study and to circulate among the members.
