In The Oregonian today is an arti--de headed "Oregon Timber Lands Slan- -dered," in which you publish a telegram ironi Roseburg, mentioning extracts of -o-called affidavits by sundry persons, -strangers in this section of the country, -charging me with slandering the fair rep' station of the timber wealth of your state. I have mde it my business to keep out -of all newspaper controversies, but when as reliable a paper as The Oregonian publishes statements as apparently true which are not true. I deem it my duty -eo to state. Xo one in your grand state can value vour magnificent forest more than I do -and .no truthful person can state that 1 .made any derogatory statements relative to vour -magnificent timber and other re- sourees. 'Pksase give tins space in your paper and9blige. CnKLES A. M. SCHLIERHOLZ. Used to be the great republican ral Iv crv but we are afraid the land grafters at Washington are deter mined to keep men in office who are standing in with land office affairs. A few months ago a special in spector was sent to Roseburg to fer ret out a lot of frauds practiced on the government in Lane and other counties. He got to the bottom of a lot of rottenness and made a report Every effort was made to remove him bv a lot of crafters and the wires were kept red hot to Senators Mitch ell and Fulton and the man who had possession of all the facts in the case was promptly discharged by secre tary Hitchcock and his report sup pressed. Why is it that Secretary Hitchcock, if he wants to protect public lands, has a director and stock holder of tha Booth-Kelley Lumber Company for the Receiver of the Land Office at Roseburg? It seems that t land office for Mr. Hitchcock has opened the bung hole and closed the spigot in his ad ministration of land affairs. He commanded the United States troops the place to' hold the encampment , in Chicago during the railroad strike of Th; d ; not am)roved by the 1SS4. He represented the army at the j war between Turkey and Greece, and at Queen Victora's diamond jubilee. Dur ing the War with Spain Miles command ed the army, being promoted to rank of Lieutenant-General in 1900. General Miles is the author of several books on professional topics, among them "Mili tary Europe."

Governor Chamberlain has done ex- actbr right in turning down Republican tailmasters. To the victors belong the spoils, not to the camp followers -who are too cowardly to fight in the ranks but prefer to trail behind and jot the bodies of the dead. Governor Chamberlain is also setting a good ex sample to a few Republican office Solders who throw all the patronage they can to democrats for fear the democrats will make a fight on them saud for whom we desire to paraphase the Nazarians words. Fear not them who can feed taffy in exchange for natronaee. but fear them who have From far off Lake county comes the news that railroad surveyors are at work in the Paisley country search ing out a route to cross Oregon from the east. From Salt Lake to the Pacific is the cry and the conclusion is that the most practicable route for such a road would be across the des ert from Stem's mountain, striking Lake county at a point where Oregon and California corner on the Nevada line, thence bearing northwest and passing through Crooked creek valley and up the Chewaucan valley to Pais ley, and in a northwesterly direction to the low pass over the Cascade mountains on the headwaters of the north middle fork of the Willamette. Nearly all of the timber in this part of Oregon would be accessible to such a road. If such a railroad enterprise is un dertaken there is little doubt but con nection will be made with the Cot tage Grove railroad in the Bohemia mining district and that the road will be extended from that city to Drain, thence to Gardinery C003 Bay and on down the coast to connect with the California coast road at Eureka. 8a- em Sentinel.

Nelson Appleton Miles was born in Westminster, Mass., August S. 1830. In 18H1 he entered the army as a volunteer, and rose grade by grade to the rank of Major-General of Volunteers, command ing an Army Corps at the age of 2o. After the Civil War he entered the Re gular army, gaining the rank of Major General, and succeeding to the com mand of the army October 5, 1895.- General Miles was distinguished as the Recording a Kick. and Ashland, or the citiiens of those cities think that the sentiments ex pressed in that article obtained to any great extent either in the Hose burg Company or with our citizens.

While the order has been issued naming Roseburg as the place for the Batallion Encampment, the catnp ground has not yet been definitely selected. It will probably be in West Roseburg on the property of Mr. A. J. Bellows, or at the Fair Grounds oast of the city. The Telegram correspondent says: Word has been received in this city by Captain F.
