The little cold weather the first
of the week served as a reminder of
what most of us had to contend
with for several months every winter
.in the frozen East. Let us rejoice
that we live in a place where we
have but very little frost and the
grass is green and growing the
whole year.
Our officials are work to get all
the land in the county in school
districts. At the adjonrned term
of Commissioners' Court last week I
they increased the size of several
districts and took in several thous
and acres of land that has never
lieen in the boundary of any dis
trict. Most of this land is heavily
thubeled, and will auuli be made to
help pay the taxes and build up our
schools. We hope the good work
M ill be continued until every foot
of this land is placed in school and
road districts. We will get this
timber cruised some day, perhaps
,next year, and then part of the
burden of taxation will fall on the
timber owners, who have, in most
instances, so far escaped the taxes.
J. E. Defebaugh, editor of the
"American Lumberman" of Chi
cago, who has bestowed such marked
praise on Douglas fir, has the fol
lowing to say editorially in the cur
rent issue of the "Lumberman:"
"The Pacific Northwest makes a
wonderful appeal to every visitor.
It is a land of living waters, of
golden soil, of mineral wealth be
yond comprehension, of forests
which will bless mankind when
other lands are desolate; a land of
mountain, plain and valley; of a
people great in intellect, energy,
endurance and kindliness. In this
golden Northwest, is a climate wit h
out the harshness of the North or
the enervating softness of the South,
these people are building an empire.
They have harnesses the streams for
power, or, pouring them over the
plains, have produced fruitful fields
, and gardens; they are wrestling
from the earth its mineral wealth ;
they are converting the forests into
forms of utility and beauty; they
are building schools, and colleges;
the Bible vision of every man
dwelling under his own vine and
tig tree is realized here, where his
every bodily need and intellectual
want may be gratified. The miner
al wealth of the country is great
and great are its achievements, but
1 letter than all this are the people
themselves a chosen race growing
io numbers and in all the accom
plishments and graces which make
a people mutually useful and
happy."
