Conner we do so with great reluctance as we have found him to be in every way a thorough going business man ar.d Christian gentleman. We learn that he intends to enter into the newspaper business at Cottage Grove and the Pxaixdealeb bespeaks for him a good patronage and the eood will of the citizens of that community for he is a firstclass newspaper and business man, H.

"NO SOOTHING SYRUP FOR HI W- Editob The Plaixdealeb : Under the above caption yon mentioned the in troduction, in the Senate, of a bill by Seenator Marstsrs for the medical and surgical care of children. The bill was introduced by the Senat r by request. The draftinif of such a bill was prompted by the fact that within twelve months fonr phil.tron )in H;.t in Wnrvthnrn er- through the neglect and refusal of their parents or guardians to provide competent medical attendance. Said parents or guardians relied upon mira cle rather than medicine ; to restore the children, with the above results. The need of a law requiring medical care in such cases was most keenly felt at that time. It does not aim to deprive any person of recourse to faith or prayer in restoring the sick, but it does aim to compel observance of a state law requir- ing competent medical attendance in such cases. This seems necessary for the protection of children against the ignorance and fanaticism of some pa- rents. Ynn ctitA tht "Tiw h;ii i H.fi-iVnt in this respect. It does not define who shall be considered a competent phvsi- cian or surgeon." I will sav, the bill does not need to define who ehall be aeemea competent. o person is deemed competent to practice medicine or surgery in the State of Oregon, who has not complied with the law regulat ing the practice of medicine and sur gery as defined in sections 3794-3S02, "VoL 2, Annotated Statutes. I sincerely tope the bill nay become a law. Truly yours, George II. Bexxett. The Plaxxoealee is not against the bill and said what it did with an object in ilew. It knew beforehand that a bill of that kind would be introduced and it also was informed of the state of the public sentiment at Woodburn and the ostacism that a few devout, faithful Christian men and women were subject- edto. We presume that the parente loved their children and cherished them and as faithful devoted parents believed that they did all in power to keep them in health. The statement "that within the past twelve months four children have died in Wcodbnrn. Or., through te neglect and Tefusal of their parents or guardians to provide competent med ical attendance, said parents or guardi ans relied upon miracle rather than medicine, to restore the children, with the above results" This statement con- veve a wrong impression in this. It make? the parents to be fanatical, moral murderers. But as there were over twenty deaths of children who had med- ical aid and attendance whose parents ernor of the Philippines. The secretary depended on pills and not in "faith in maintains that, notwithstanding the God" we fail to see how the Reverend conceswions made by the Vatican to the Brother expect to prove the truth of American mission which recently visit the assertion that the children died d Rome, the executive of the Philip through the parents' neglect. pines refuses summarily to reinstate the The constitution of these United Raman Catholics in the lands unjustly States guarantees to all citizens freedom seized by the Filipino indepenent Cath in religion ; and the true principle of olics. In this way, he asserts, the aith in the Christ is: He id able to Americans are indirectly fomenting that eave the bodies and souls of men ; and if schism xhich is agitating the islands, in the early history of the church the and is mainly due to the papal compli layingon of hands and the prayers of ance with the requests of the American the believers or rather the spiritual in mission. In a lengthy report sent to man being joined in communion with Mgr. Falconio the Vatican lawyers hold Deity was the means of healing the 6ick, that the seizure of the church lands was then for professed Christian men and illegal, becauMs they had been peaceably women to rise and persecute Christians' who believe in that faith is to prove that they are apostate from the faith in the Christ. The Reverend Brother elevates medicine above miracle; perhaps he is right. But is not "man's extremity God's opportunity?" Either the won ders miracles, which the brother reads and preaches about every Sunday, are true or false. If they are true in all the ages of the Jewish church and early Christian church, they are true today. JJ that faith which grapjKxl hold of God in the fervent prayer, "I will not let Thee go unless Thou bless me," pro duced a blessing in uges past, that faith exercised will produce a blessing today. If ever the Christ whose faith was in God performed a miracle His true fol lowers have also the same power for ho said "and greater works than these shall do because I go unto my Father and lo I am wita you always even unto the end of the world." THE PEMTENTIARY SCANDAL. The facts in the case are: A woman who has been in the penitentiary for two and a half years is in a delicate con dition and she charges the parentage upon the assistant warden. The war den tries to throw the blame on a trusty who escaped or was allowed to escape about ten days ago from the peuitentiary Governor Chamberlain made an inves tigation into the affair and suspended the assistant warden and the druggist who knew the woman's condition and did not report the same. The governor was assisted in ins investigation on tne warjen was either verv blind to wnat was going on or that he did not eep posted regar Jing affairs at the pen- itentiary, and in either event he shouli rt.lno"vej for the offese of omission or winking at commission. Such an affair is a disgrace to the state and the man guilty of such a damnable outrage upon the state at large, should be, by a bill passed by the Legislature, disfranchised for life as a citizen of Oreeon. hat is there in store for the fruit of such illicit intercourse if it should be born into the world? Can the state afford go have a child, a future citizen, born in the penitentiary? Can the state, after investigation and belief as to the parentage of the child, allow fornication or adultery to go un punished if evidence in this case can be established on the test mony of the belief that the trus' v was allowed to escape from the penitentiary in order to be the"scape goat" for a trusted official? There is one wav'out of the difficulty so far as the future child and the unfor tunate woman is concerned, and that is to parole her out of the penitentiary and force the father of the child to mar- T "er or I)Ut h,u a tne penitentiary fill ont her unexpired term, as a state sacrifice, for the woman, convict though she is, is a far better woman than the man is a man. The child should not be allowed to be born in the jienl tentiary foi the state has no right to be a party to inflict a future curse upon the child under any consideration. THE PORTLAND STEAL. -While we would hke to see the legis lature encourage the Portland fair, we are or-Dosed to the bill proposing the $50.',000 appropriation. That is to say, we are opposed to the bill in its present form. According to the bill, the state i"ds can be used to pay the entire sal &e ot the employees of the lair, ana the corporation owmne and controll l be at no expense whatever in that regara. in omer woras, mis dui piace it within the power of the commission to so arrange matters that the compen sation of all of the offiers, agents, em ployees and servants of the corporation,- which corporation is the owner of this fair, shall be paid in full from the state's appropriation ; and yet, if this lair should prove a financial success, the corporation could pocket all the profits, while the taxpayer foots the bills. a l?m fcentineL Tfie more this aSair is aired the more rotten the whole business appears.

The twenty-second biennial session of Oregon's Legislative Assembly is now half complete, and the records of the two branches show an unusual amount of business has lieen gone through with. In the house 273 bills have been intro duced.

It ia important to have a clear know ledge of what the fatting progress is rhe grown steer, with a framework of lone overlaid with muscles and increas ed in hide, requires a certain amount of nutriment for mere existence. To sap ply this only enables him to continue ex istence, but des not appease his apje- tite, which craves still more food. Of provender beyond the requirements ot maintenance is supplied, more or less of the surplus is converted into fat and stowed away among the muscular ti sues of the body, in the bones, under the hide and about the viscera. That fat is fuel in the animal economy, for which nature shows an eagerness by manufacturing and laying npacertio quantity agai ist the time of need. Im pelled by a hearty appetite the steer at first gains rapidly in fat, gratifying the feeder in the increase reported by the scales. After the fattening has pro gressed a few months the appetite cf ih steer loses its keen edge, and he shows a daintiness in taking his food not at first exliibited. If placed on the scales from Ume to tune he shows smaller and smaller gains. Every pound of increase now requires more jounds of feed than at first. The fattening process may be likened to indating a bicycle tire or.foot ball with air. The operation is rapid and easy at first, but becomes more and more difficult until the limit is reached. Finally the steer, though consuming a fair amount of feed shows no gain what ever. He has been fattened to his limit and though he may be held there for a time, he will soon begin to retrograde just as a ripened applegrows poorer in quality after jerfectien has been reached. The feeder recognizes this, shoald aim to fatten bis cattle rapidly and dispose of them without dalay. To continue fatten ing longer than demanded by the mark et, or to hold cattle after once fattened, adds greatly to the cost. Re-appointed to Services in the Philip pine Islands. Burb F. Wells, of Olalla, has received notice that he has been re-appointed clerk of the U. 8. Postal services in the Philippine Islands by C. M. Cotterman, Director of Posts of the Philippine Island and that he is ordered to leave San Francisco for the Island in March of this year. Mr. Wells is the youngest son of Hon. Wm. R. Wells, post-master at Olalla, was born at that place Nov 9, 1880; was appointed clerk in the Military Postal Service at Manila, P. I by Poet-niaster-General C. E. Smith April 1900, and after 18 months service was relieved, returning to his home in this county in December, 1901, where he has since resided. Mr. Wells is a sober, industrious and business like young gentleman, aud this second ap pointment to a department where lie has before did such good service is an honor of which he may justly feel proud. The Philippines want forty acres at the St. Louis exposition to show off their products, but they have not made ap plication for democratic mules. 4. stage load of carpenters have beer, going over to Springfield from Eugene every morning for the past few weeks.

Editob Pi.aixpeai.kb: Bear Sir: I noticed in your isi-ue of Jan. 22nd, a synopsis of the proposed bill for the pro tection of the forests of Oregon from lire, and also your criticism of the same. It appears to me that you probably have not given the subject of forest pro tection the attention that the subject deserves. It may not bo out of place to say here that the bill that has been pre sented is largely the result of the efforts of myself, and that, through the col umns of The Tiiuliermau lor the past several months, I have attempted- to create a public sentiment that would ead to the passage of more stringent laws for the protection of Oregon s tim- p. liurine the past vear, uregon manu factured 1,000.000,000 feet of lumlwr. The manufacture of this lumber cm' ployed thousands of men throughout the state at remunerative wages. The product realized f 10,000,000, 75 per cent of which was sold beyond the confines of the state clear to the Atlantic sea board and as far south as Honda, to say nothing of the 52,000,000 feet which went to the dilierent civilized countries of the globe. The lumber interest of the State of Oregon is the largest single industry she posesses and hence is entitled to have such laws passed for its protection as will provide the greatest good for the greatest number. I have just prepare! a brief statement d)owin!j the loss caused bv the fires, of September, 11)02. Thes forest fires oc casioned the loss of two lives, besides rendering homeless numbers of our far mers and hardy pioneer settlers, de stroying about 3,000,000,000 feet of Ore- ion's standing timber. This timber in many instances has been a total loss. owing to its remoteness from transjor- tation. Now, we will stop to consider for a moment, what these 3,000,000 foet rep resent to the people of Oregon. The cosi of convert iij; these magnincient trees into Iocs is about $4.00 per month fr the actual labor involved. This es timate includes the cost of building rail road, operating logging roads, locomo tives, and all the attendant expenses which go into the labor columns in n:ak ing up the total cost of h-gging a section of land. After thee logs to go the mill it will cost on an averace of $3.00 per 1000 to g.-t the lumber through the drv kiln, planing mill, and aboard the cars ready fur shipment. This cost for labor both in the camp and in the mill is equivalent to $70 per month, or on l.iMU.wu Kvt $.'l,tMJi,tXHJ. When we destroy this timber, we strike at the laboring man of Oregon. Every com munity and every county in which there s timber land, has a, positive and vita! intcri-st in the protection of timber, There is no county in the State of Ore gon that has more valuable timber than Douglas County, and the time is fasi coming when it will be cut into lumber by dozen? of mills, enriching the county and adding greatly to its population, an I know my good friends of the Peaix dealek will receive their proportion of the prosjierity due to the development of this indnrtrv. So much for the in dustry itself. The owners of the timber land will not 7 k t-ive more at the present time tha-iiXQ per M for their stumpage. With InniW bringing $10 to the manu facturer, it will readily be seen that the individual loss of the timber land own er, is a? one is to ten, hence any effort put forth to save the timber has a far greater bearing on the state at large than on the tiinlxr land holders, many of which are local citizens. In your criticism you speak " of "an effort being mad i to saddle ou the agri cultural, commercial and working class es, the expense of protecting timber i'pet-uhitors' land." Now, I do not be lieve for a moment when you penned this irticle, that you really stopped to consider that the entire people of the state are iutert-sted in the protection of these magnificent forests, and think. that when you stop to consider thi question ia its various phases, yoa will assume an attitude favorable to any reasonable measure calculated to pro tect these interests. Maine, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota have similar laws for the protection of their forests. Can Oregon fford to throw away the experience of these states, which have, become rich through the lumber industry, without putting forth an effort to save, as a her itage for all the people, this wonderful mine, with which nature has endowed the state? You speak of the agricultuial classes beg to hand you herewith a letter to me from the secretary of the Fpringwa ter Fire Committee of Clackamas coun ty, which shows that one hundred and one farmers have lost from $25 to $2700 each in the September conflagration V ith this showing, it looks as if the farmers of Oregon were entitled to some protection to their own homes, which are liable to be destroyed at any time by forest fires. You will note in the bill that the com mittee is to receive no remuneration save and except five cents per mile, for the actual miles traveled, in the per formance of their duties, which will consist in attending the meeting at Sa lem once a year, apjointing a clerk, and formulating such rules as will be neces sary for the proper protection of the timber, and I do not think that my good .rir.a x .... menus oi me i laixdealer h tnev were asked to serve ou a printing committee, which woniu nave a tendency to pro mote the welfare of their profession, would consider five cents a mile a very mighty "graft." If the Plalndealer will do me the service to draft a Forest Firo Bill, which in their belief, more fully meets the conditions than the one which has been introduced, we shall be only too glad to take the matter up with them, as we are looking, not only for criticism but for assistance, and have no doubt they could help us out in solving this vexed problem. , Yours, with kindest regards, Geo. M. Cornwall, If there is so much money in timber then the Rjwculutors and millmen can well afford to pay the whole expense for the protection of their own property Why should a man who own . a hop yard or prune orchard bo compelled to pay for the keeping up of an army of wardens and ranges to protect the stand ing timber on the mountains? Why should a man running a store or any other business be compelled to pay taxes to protect in an extraordinary manner speculators timber land? The timber of Oregon is her wealth but that is no reason why a man who does not own a timler claim should 1 e compelled to pay taxes for the protection of the men who do. Justice is iimtice. but under the name of justice many burdens are pressed upon the poor by the rich ; and for men who are worth millions of dollars in timler lands to come before the public and ask that Widow O'Tools ho be taxed to protect their timber speculations ia a system of unjust taxation. Frame a bill aud let the timber lands bear the taxes for their own protection and there will be no op position against the bill by the Plain dealer.

Thus one has to go be-1 tween these two difficulties, and on ac- I count of the cost of the frequent re- I movals of the crop It Is generally ad- vl.su Me to store them In the field where they huvo grown, says Country Gentle- man. , The prevalent method adopted by largo growers Is this: The space be tween the rows, 3 by 0, as may be con venient. Is furrowed out ss widely as possible, and the plants, pulled as late as possible before risk of damage by freezing, are placed as they are pulled and with the roots undisturbed bead downward In rows four feet wide and tapering to one on the top as compact ly us possible. Straw Is then spread over the heaps until as late as pjsslble with safety from frost, when earth la thrown on the straw to Insure safety from freezing.

The ground should be leveled to enable the heaps to lie evenly. Sometimes these pits are made larger, even eight feet wide and high, but In some localities the smaller pits will be safest.
