PUBLIC FOLLY.
The American pcoplo are dis
gusted with tho great railroad com
panies and private speculators,
which hold vast areas of valuable
timber land and refuse to comply
with the terms on which they re
ceived the grant. What do tho
American people want to do with
these lands in case tho grants are
annulled? Do they want them to
so &nck to the public domain to be
purchased at $1.25 per aero by
"homo seekers"? Is not that foolish
ness? Will a man make his homo
on one hundred and sixty acres of
Jand containing Ave million feet of
timber? Will he clear it? Or will
be sell the tract as soon as he has
titlo to it to some syndicate? If the
latter, then where have the Ameri
can peoplo been benefitted? Tho
fact Is this land is only speculative
Jand and will not be converted into
farms unless the timber Is cut off
.and wasted. That would bo a mis
fortune, too.
Now tho truth is plain. For ex
ample, it is said tho value of timber
Jioldlngs under grants which the
.grantees are in duty bound to sell
out In lots of ono hundred and sixty
acres to a settler at $2.50 per acre
is $35, 000,000 in Oregon alone. Un
doubtedly, if the railroad and land
companies lose them they will all be
syndicated again and absolutely
withheld from general settlement.
Thcro Is probably no other way to
Jjandlo theso forests to tho best ad
vantage than to syndicato them and
2et largo aggregations of capital
establish saw mill plants. But why
should tho government sell a tract
worth fifty dollars an -acre to a gen
tleman Just Ironi Syria for $2.50 and
tbi-n feol charitable because tho
Syrian has made $4 0.50 per aero or
7,410 profit? True tho gentlemen
f tho syndicato must pay out money,
but why to tho Sjrian who does no
thing but allow tho title to filter
through his nnino from Undo Sam
to some corporation? That tho
chanco to get such a tract would bo
lottery as corrupt as that of Loui
siana seems clear enough.
Why doesn't Uncle Sam cancol tho
grants if the law decrees it, and then
soil theso lands for what they aro
worth? Better still, why not turn
over tho lands in Oregon to tho
Stato for $2.50 per aero adding in
terest and such taxes as have been
paid, returning thoso burns to tho
companlos nnd requiring Oregon to
soil thorn for what they aro worth?
Then, why not require tho Stato to
plnro tho money in a fund which
shall bo used to mako good roads in
tho Stato. It would bo u great
Bchomo to get some $30,000,000 to
7iinko good roads in a Stato where
ueh roads are badly needed. Tho
public needs roads inoro than it
needs to havo a lot of money wildly
distributed thiough tho country.
This habit of throwing away oppor
tunities Is a silly one. Why put n
lnlm which a mun can neither cul
tivate, improve nor clear in tho
hands of u man without means nnd
Jot that man mako from $5,000 to
$10,000 without doing a stroke for
the jiubllo or tho Stato and. In a
majority of eases havo oven that
tnko carried out of tho Stato
when It would bo so easy to divert
tho Hood of money to making tho
-rnuntry lit to live in, and giving
thousands of honest men honest w ork
to do? It Is submitted thnt this Is
lmply common souse, lias any
senator, Fulton or Bonnie, courage
or i.atrlotisiu onough to suggest It?
Tho Dutch In Holland aro not so
foolish as the Americans. Tho aro
roLluladng through dralnagu u largo
part of mi Intorlor salt lako called
tho Zuydor Zeo nnd they do not
slvo it away but thoy boll It for
33,000 per aero and uso the money
to Improre tho country. r

GOOD EVENING.
TEARS.
Not In tho time of pleasure
Hope doth set her bow,
But in the sky of sorrow,
Over tho vale of woe.
Through gloom and shadow look we
On beyond tho years.
Tho soul would havo no rainbow
Had tho eyes no tears.

HELP THE WOULD BE GAY.
It's time to lure tho smiles along and
help tho world bo gay;
It's time to sing tho happy song and
whistlo care away.
It's time to gladly leave behind tho
sorrow and the sighs;
It's time to look for joy and find
each cranny where It lies.
It's time to hoist the flags for mirth
and shout huzzah to Glee;
Give Joy tho freedom of the earth,
drive Woo Into tho sea;
It's time to hide the frowns and let
the songs of gladness rise
Tho world is laughing; let's forget
tho sorrow and tho sighs.
S. E. KISER.
It lmi't so much what you see In w

This world is but a fleeting show and
for the most part overudvertised.

You do not gather flgi from thistles

Unseemly Bravado.
The mountainous wnves threatened
to engulf the struggling ship at any
moment. The captain ordered n bo.
of skyrockets and lliuvs brought to
the rail and with his own hands Ig
nited them hi the hope thnt they would
make known his distress to some pass
Ing ship.
Amid the rockets' glare an austere
Individual made his way to the rail
and reproved the captain as follows:
"Captain, I must protest against this
unseemly bravado. We are now fac
ing death. This Is no time for n ecle
bratlon." Everybody's.
Correct.
"Now, can any of you tell mo what
Is water?" !uked the teacher at tho
end of ii u object lesson.
"Please, teacher, water's what turns
black when you nut jour hands in It!"
Infantile Knowledge.
Little lioMillo, aged six, was watch

"Mother," said she suddenly, "what
kind of preserves does God mako?"
"Why, God doesn't make preserves,
ltosallo "
"Yes. lie does, mother. I say it every
Sunday In Sunday school. The teacher

A minister, walking along tho street
one day, saw n crowd of boys sitting
In n ring, with a small dog in the cen

staked:
"What nre you doing to tho dog?"
One little boy said, "Whoever tells
the biggest lie wins it."
"I am surprised at you llttlo boys,
for when I wns like you I never told
a lie."
There wns n sllenco for awhile, until
one of the boys shouted, "Hand him
