A kindly and cordial invitation is extended to tho general public, all comrades, and sol diers of all wars, including confederates, to join Reno Post in these Memorial exercises, in commemorating mo mem ory of the patriotic dead ; and by word and act show our reverence to the ever increasing millions living in security and peace in the land saved by the matchless devotion of tho Union soldiers and sailors. The Post earnestly do- sires each church in Roseburg, to hold Memorial service on eaid Sunday, or at tend tho services to be held in the The Mystic flldgets.

Strike in Australia. Whoro tho Militia Will Camp. Souio timo ago it was announced that tho National Guard of tho several Paci fic coast states would hold an encamp ment this summer with tho regular army at Salt Lako City. It seems now that tho plan has been changed and in stead tho militia of only Oregon, Wash- ngton and Idaho will participato in the encampment with tho regulars. A press dispatch from North Yakima, Wash., says: "Major Robert K. Evans, of tho De partment of tho Columbia, arrived hero today from Vancouver to look up a camping site for tho militia of tho states of Washington, Idaho and Oregon, in conjunction with tho regular army. lie said ho wanted nt least 20,000 acres, and is now conferring with Superintendent Lynch of tho Yakima Indian reser vation relative to a site on Satas Creek. "This is near tho river and along tho railroad, and is an an immense body of utideveloied prairio land, llo will in spect tho site on Monday and then go to Spokane to inspect a site there, lie said the American Lake site, near Ta coma, is too small for maneuvers." tho Normal hore, tnado a business trip to Drain tho first of tho week.

How are the mighty fallen when the proprietors of the leading newspapers of this State become the patrons, com panions and protectors of a lot of buniB and toughs. This is yellow journal news methods with a vengeance. NO TAX EXEMPTIONS. The late lamented Legislature made a wobble somewhere and as a consequence every man and woman will have to pay taxes on everything they own. Estr mating that there are 80,030 homes in Oregon which heretofore has had $300 in exemptions the present crop for taxa tion purposes will be increased by $24, 003, and in two vears the State will re ceive on the previously exempted prop erty more money in taxes than was ap propriated for the Lewis & Clark fair. The Legislature took care of corpora' tions and trusts and combines, but the bone and sinew of the state was over loosed. .Now we never did know in God's economy what a pop was good for politically, but we opine if there had been a few long-haired brethren in the Legislature and Senate they would have seen to it that old Speck was not taxed for the chickens she did not hatch or that the old slab-sided sow had to pay taxes on the little snig pig that did not receive its full share of lacteal nourishment. In the late Legislature there wai to much politics, place hunt' ing and attempted jobbery and too lit tie time expended in looking after the trne interest and advancement of Ore gon. The government has sent a circular letter to emplovers of hbor asking for volunteers, who are invited to state tho capacity in which they are prepared to serve during the railroad strike. One hundred and flftv university students have been enrolled as a vigilance com- mitteo to protect tho men at work. Op;n Confession &c. Senator Hanna, at Chicago, oh Mon day said: "All this talk about my can didacv for tho presidency is bosh. I have just returned from the dedication of the St. Louis Fair, and it was a most glorious occasion. President Roosevelt's name will certainly head tho Republi can ticket next Year. Nothing will prevent hiB nomination : he will be re elected by a large majority." "What importance do you attach to the frequent mention of Grover Cleve land's nameb? some of the Democrats?" I see that he is frequently mentioned as their candidate, and this fact at thin time Etrikes me as beingjvery significent. He commanded a great deal of attention at St. Louis, for he is the only living ex- President, and certainly one of the greatest Democrats. He does not often appear in public now, and that he should consent to make -to great a journey may have a meaning of its own. While I do care to predict that ho will be the nomineo for the presidency, yet, 1 repeat, the mention of his name so frequently bv politions in all classes looks significant." Mr. Hanna refussed to discuss wheth er he would like to conduct a campaign against Cleveland or not. or to talk about any other political subject. Rumor had it that Senator Hanna was to take a hand in settling the strike at the Deering harvester company's plant. The same rnmor connected Mr Mitchell with a proposed effort to end the labor trouble. Both men denied anv intention to take a hand in the matter. The Portland Journal of recent dato says : "The Journal knows that Reames has a large republican majority to overcome in his battle with Hermann, and the outcome is dubious." When tho votes are counted after the campaign of mud and slush is over the democratic candidate will bo snowed under so deep that tho word "dubious' will have a new meaning.

Hofer, of Salem, in a speech made in the Opera House of that city on Tuesday eaid: "Ihe land policy of the federal gov eminent consists of the acts of congress, and the acts of officials scattered all over the United States, and the rulings of the department of the interior. The policy of establishing forest reserves was widely established under Presi dent Cleveland, and is constantly forced npon the administration by Eastern college professors, and has never been demanded by the people of the West. The policy of establish ing lorest reserves may have some merits on the elopes of the mountains feeding the streams that flow into the arid land regions. But on the west ern slope of the Cascades there is not much more excuse for forest reserves than for'relngerators in the Arctic re gions. The Santiam forest reserve has ehut out settlers, kept down mining, restricted railroad building, and for what purpose? Can any living man declare the good that is done there by? The creating of forest reserves over all of Southern Oregon, where it is well settled, and all going into agri culture and stockraisinsr, is the most uncalled for act in a long series of out rages perpetrated on Oregon, it was sprung the moment Hermann was out of Washington. In his reports he has opposed the creation of these re serves. He has exposed and denounced the lieu land swindles that are invaria' bly connected with them, and at the bottom of their creation. Upon his rec ommendation President Roosevelt ve toed Senator Burton's bill granting a right of way to a land grant railroad through one of them for 150 miles, the most bare-faced fraud ever openly forced through Congress. Mr. Hermann has been but one man standing for the Eet- tlers of the West against the gigantic corporations that are back of the whole forest reserve policy, because they are in a position to have these reserves thrown open when they gat some new legislation that will enable them to steal millions of acres of the public domain. Let the blame fall where it may, but let us be just enough to distribute the re sponsibility where it belongs until pub lic sentiment shall demand the repeal of the whole system, which is a disgrace to the country."

DOUBLE CHECK SYSTEM s j. Secretary Hitchcock insisted that the Rogue River timber lands should be made into a forest reserve during the time Mr. Hermann was in the Land Office and Mr. Hermann opposed the plan. Just as soon as Mr. Hermann was out, and before he could be sent to Washington as our Congressman, Secre tary Hitchcock has attempted to foist his Lieu land script graft upon the peo ple of Oregon. We want Binger Her mann in Congress to stop the graft and Eet back to the state. We shall have more to say about this in our next issue as we have been down to examine what that timber reservation iH good for. Survey Stopped. According to the Portland Telegram of last Friday, no new townships are to be enrveyed in Oregon by the Govern' ment this year, according to present prospects, and all those in course of sur vey are ''hungup," pending investiga tion under the supervision of United States Land Commissioner Richards. The cause of this suspension of sur veys, as nearly as can be learned, is the reports of Special Agent Green, of the Interior Department, who became alarmed at the great quantities of tim ber lands being bought up by lumber syndicates, who use the alleged "settler' as go-between in acquiring title. Sur veys are now suspended in the timber regions of Lane, Douglas, Josephine, Coos and Curry Counties, in Western Oregon, and in Wallowa and Klamath Counties, east of the Cascade Range. "It is not the policy of the Government to survey these lands for any eet of in' dividuals or corporation desiring to pur chase them," an officer connected with Government surveys said today. "These lands are held for actual settlere, and those who enter the quarters as timber' ed lands are likely to lose them should the lands prove more valuable for homesteading. The government has given away a good deal of timbered lands to syndicates unwittingly, but the policy of issuing final proof papers to all manner of entrymen will hereafter be abandoned. "It is quite likely that in the near future these lands will be disposed of according to the amount of timber they contain, and that Uncle Sam will go in to a little speculation on his own account as some of the states which own timber lands have done. In this way thousands of dollars will be saved by the Govern ment which has heretofore disposed of timber lands at $2.50 an acre that in reality were worth 20 times that sum. "A great many squatters are now pa tiently 'waiting in the woods for surveys that will enable them to obtain title by homesteading and commuting for the purpose of seeing out to speculators, but these squatters will have to go through a much more rigid semting than heretofore." A timber dealer in discussing the situation today said : "What good is 160 acres of timber land to the individual? It isn't worth six bits to him. Capital is needed to build logging railroads, eet up sawmills and hire large numbers of men in get ting the timber out. If Undo Sam in sists on each settler keeping the 1C0 acres there will be no more logging camps, as largo bodies of land are natd ed to justify heavy outlay in getting out the timber." jr-OUR FARMER FRIENDS Should bear in mind the great value of Wakelicd Squirrel Exterminator as a grain saver.
