Li" T Wx OREGON SENTINEL. Jacksonville: i Saturday, November 19, 1881. TlMBKIt L1.MM. Views of the-OommlMloner of the General Land (lfflce WAsmsGTOS, November 10. The Commissioner ofnhe General Land Office, in his annual report, makes the following interesting comments on tho subject of the Government timber lands: The existing provisions of- law permitting citiiens to fell and remove -timber on the public lands for mining and domestic purposes, as found in the Act of June 3, 1878, are, in my opinion, very defective.. The only lands from which such cutting is au thorized are the mineral lands, and thesrareto a great extent undefined, and necessarily must so remain. Large quantities of timbers are absolutely necessary for the develop ment of the mines, while the said Act authorizes the cutting thereon of timber for other purposes. Tho pur chaser of a. mining claim has as much if not greater need for the timber thereon as the agriculturist, and. the transportation of timber to the mines from a distance is very expensive. The law furnishes no relief to such as reside at a distance from such lands. The situation is practically this: The settlers on land devoid of timber need timber for fuel, building, etc. Very frequently they cannot get it except from public lands, if they get it legally. Still they will take it, and when taken it is solely for the said purposes and under circumstances which largely mitigate the technical legal offense. While parties who steal the public timber for speculation and profit de eerve severe punishment, those who use it solely for home purposes under the imperative necessities above mentioned, should have their privileges accurately and reasonably defined. I deem the enactment of some law which will accomplish this end to be Tery desirable and in tho public inter est. Enforced Vaccination. It would, probably, be a hopeless task to enforce upon individuals any proper rules of hygeine, but just now, when a loathsome and contagious dis ease is spreading over the north west coast,the question of compulsory vaccina tion is a proper one for discussion. Ordinarily where intelligent people disregard the rule of health the penalty is paid by themselves, but in -- c "xrful contagion like the small pox, that may ivir a wnoie community, people should be made to do that which common sense ought to suggest without enforcement, but which it does not. We were visited by the dreadful scourge many years since, but time will not efface its hor rors and while it was fearfully fata), death did not result in a single case where the patient had been vaccinated at any period of life. This important fact should prompt people to guard their children and themselves by vaccination but it is rarely heard of except during the excitement of a small-pox scare. In view of the almost criminal indif ference of people as to their own safety and.the- safety of others, vaccination should be enforced by statute through out the state and in cities by the municipal authorities under their general sanitary powers. There can be no question that the state has the same power to prevent or mitigate disease by precautionary moasures as to prevent its spread by quarantine regulations, and it does seem as if our legislators ought, some time, to learn the value of the old adage, that "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." People have no right, through indifference or carelessness, to jeopardize the health of whols communi ties, and if they will not protect thrui selyes of their own volition they should be made to do it. , An Improper Courte. Opposition to the Sunday law has been carried to the Supreme Court of California and, although that tribunal has sustained the law as constitutional, powerful combinations are organizing to resist it. This is all wrong for it u simply defiance of law. No matter what a statute may be, no matter how distasteful it is, it must bo obeyed by the people and should be enforced by the proper authorities whether its en forcement is palatable to them or not. Defiance of law brings it into contempt and if the public, instead of a Court is to select from tho statutes that only which they choose to obey, then there will be an end to social or ganization! If the Suuday law is un just or oppressive let it be repealed but, until it is repealed, lei it be obeyed and enforced to tho very letter for, if people are permitted to treat it con temptuously they have the same right to defy or disobey any other statutory injunction. It will be vary difficult, however, to show that a law, found ih the civil code of all enlightened nations is a bad law, and it should be hustamed by public opinion erary where. JLDGb KCLSAVS rtrtsT lttTAIM.lt. Judge Kelsay, of Corvallis, gels off the following good thing on himself, and its moral may be pondered by all legal fledglings wjth profit. Asking the status of a case in Southern Ore gon, in which he had been engaged, he was informed that two local attornies were now conducting it. ''Ah, ah" remarked the judge, with a twinkle in his eye, "that reminds me, if you please, of my first retainer." How so jndge? we ventured to enquire. "Well," replied the old jurist, "I had just graduated from a Kentucky law school with fine honors head of my class, sir, crammed and boiling over with legal lore, spoiling, sir, for a g'adiatorial struggle, so to speak if you please, in tho forensic arena." "Just then" Kelsay continued, "a murder was committed in my county a most atrocious crime; tho murderer was prominent and wealthy and ut once employed two of the ablest lawyers in Kentucky to defend him." "Think of my surprise, sir, when I was called on and my services retained for the de fence by the deposit of fifty dollars." I was proud sir, justly proud, but unable to satisfy myself 'whether the retainer was to secure my valuable as sistance for the accused or to prevent it being obtained by the prosecution. "Time went on, blows were given and parried by the senior counsel without consulting me and I kept wondering what very important part I was to perform and the more I thought of it the more mysterious my position be came. At last a change of venue was obtained and the leading counsel Col came to me and asked me to take a walk. That, sir, was the proudest moment of ray life; we walked on without a word, but my heart was swollen up like a big water melon, if you please, and I had a vision of a grand scene where I had just finished a brilliant peroration that extinguished the state's attorney and melted the jury to tears. I had just imagined myself carried in triumph out of the court house by the friends of the dis charged prisoner when we approached an old out house. Taking me behind it, the able .counsel looked stealthily around to see that no one could hear our important secrets. 'Mr. Kelsay,' he said, in a grave voice, 'wo have a very bad case, a desperate case, on al most homeless case, and tho time has an-ivfJ. when you are expected to jier- which you have been retained.' "How my heart fluttered, sir, as the great secret was to oe reveaieu to me. ine secret, if you please, that was to rank me with Marshall and Corwin and Clay and other distinguished advocates. "Looking round again the counsel drew me closer and continued in a stago whisper, 'a bad, very bad case, Mr. Kelsay; but if the worst conies to tho worst you are retained to watch your opportunity and steal the indictment!' "Great God" contin ued the judge flushing up with the memory of his estimated value and ex pected service. "You can imagine, sir, the effect of tho shock on an hon orable young man." Did you steal it? we meekly enquired. "No sir," replied the judge. "I spurned the proposition indignantly and withdrew from the case, but I adhered to the very highest and most important legal principle known to tho profession I kept the retainerl" Deer hlaujlilcr. Tho "Douglas Independent" has a vigorous protest against the slaughter of deer for their hides and demands an effective game law. It is a shame that the slaughter can not bo stopped but every effort in that direction has been derided by members of tho Legis lature from Willamette counties. There is but one way to accomplish it. The people of those counties aro de sirous of having tho Willamette stock ed with salmon by means of a fish' lad der ut the falls. Let all members in favor of the preservation of deer fight the salmon question and if we are to have no game let them have no fish. Members from the mountain counties can force the enactment of a game law if they join together and oppose all legislation asked for by the "cow counties" until their own reasonable demands are granted. To ask deer slayers to qui is just as effective as to ask a sneaking coyote to abstain from mutton, or a newly discharged convict to quit stealing; for the worth less wretch who follows a deer all day for its hide has neither shame nor conscience. The Corvallis "Gazette" warns tho people of Oregon against the "iron grasp" of the Villard monopoly. Per haps it had better look nearer home lest the people of Benton may be "Hogged" by the manager of the Yaquina Bay road. Female barbers aro increasing in numbers. No wonder the sex al ways did delight in taking a man by the nose. lliy, JJ !- kJJJIWBT Which is Best? Tim so called "cheap" sowing machine which soon doubles its original cost in repairs, con tinually disappoints expectations, as to its performances and is always a source of vexation whilo it pretends to work and in a short time refuses to act at all or the genuine well made reliable and durable machine whose first cost is its last. The sewing machine like the watch to be any permanent- value must be made, of the best materials hi"hly wrought, beautifully finished carefully adjusted. It is idh to ex pect these conditions to be fulfilled by companies who are making "cheap machines," and are liable to abandon the business at any time leaving their customers to their own resources. To buy cheap is to pay d-ar in the end. The new improved No. 8 Wheeler Si Wilson machine is the simplest in con struction of any in the market, is the easiest to manage and is never out of order. Why therefore waste yotj'r money upon a (so called) cheap nia chinn when for a slight advance in price you can purchase a first class ma chine from a reliable company who will always remain in tne business and carefully watch the interests of their customers. Whereas these low priced machines aro fobbed out tO" country dealers and when the stock on hand is sold, tho companies manufacturing them drop out of the market.
