"The object of reserve Is use and nothinng niore."" he said. "And it is the permanent use to the people living In the region,", 7 No one would hardly take. Issue with the pro fessor on such statements. The facts that they were created Is evidence creation of the reserves was certainly made to serve some intended purpose : but such statements bear little rel evancy to what has been agititlng people of the West, Its not the use but tne abuse of reserves and withdrawals that the people of Oregon want to hear cussed. Too much, acreage has been withdrawn and parties have been given . tips in advance go as to permit their moking of money through withdrawals.. H. O. McKlnley.a well-known timber land speculator, has stated that parties "of no less prominence that State Sena tor Pierce Mays and Representative A. N .Jones of Multnomah county, were among thos who engineered the Blue Mountain reserve. Senator Mays, o McKlnley alleged, complained to him on the ground that he, McKinley, had purchased a few thousand acres of school land within the reserve without any expense, . while Mays and his crowd had worked up the withdrawal and were therefore entitled to the priv ilege of purchasing the school land within the reserve boundry as base land. Prof. Pinchot could have made his talk more Interesting, by touching upon practices of this kind. He could have satisfied a great many people al so by explaining how, when withdraw als have been released, if they ever are, bona fide settlers wishing 160 acres of land are to be protected from scrippers. union labor.

Intended for the busy man with little time to epare; it displays an In sight Into the great pontiffs career which denotes the close observer and careful studene on the part of the com piler. No man, be he a Catholic or a non-Catholic, can lay claim to a thorough knowledge ot the political, social, religious history of the last quarter of the nineteenth century, who Is Ignorant ot the life and work ot Io XIII. This volume will In a measure, fumlsh a key to the secret of the deceasod pontiff's wonderful success and Influence In the world at large. The author pays special at tention ro Leo's attitude towards the United States. The chapters devoted to a consideration of "Leo XIII and Education" and "Activities in Behalf of Labor" are very timely. The even, non-polcmnlcal tone of the volume re commend it alike to believer and un believer. The perusal of this book must needs prove uplifting. The typographical work Is well dons and the Illustrations art highly Inter estlng, and considering the price for which the volums Is offered It Is all that could be desired.

On effect of the new Irish land law already noticable Is a pronounced check pu'on Irish emigration. An anti-eml-grntlon society has been formed In Irer land whose purpose it is to restrain em igration and to keep the people in their oyn country. A writer in the St. I.ou)8 Post-Dispatch, referring to Irish emigration says: "The volume of emigration has been enormous. During the last decade of the nineteenth cen tury France lost by immigration only one inhabitant out of 6,975 of its popul ation, Germany one in 2,574, Belgium one in 2607. Enzland one in 292. Italy one in 212. Scotland one In 214, Spain one in 2G1, Portugal one In 24L Sweden There are reports to the effect that salmon are not finding ready sale at tl.30 per case, the price fixed by the Alaska Packers' Association. While the A. P. A. Is looked to for the set ting of the price each season, confir mation must come from buyers who are witling to pay the price. The price set for this season, $1.30, Is held by the Fishing Gazette to be logical figures for this year, yet if the small packers are .nable to get the established price they are face to face with the proposition of selling under or carrying, their pack over. It la to be hoped, however, that the packers will be able to realize the full market price before the time of out-iltting for another season is at hand.' SAVES TWO FROM DEATH.

Most people have an idea that rheumatism is contracted like a cold, that the damp, chilly air penetrates the muscles and joints and causes the terrible ache and pains, or that it is something like a skin disease to be rubbed away with lini ment or drawn out with plasters; but Rhuetnatiim originates in the blood and is caused by Urea, or Uric Acid, an irritating, corroding poison that settles in tnus vjes, joints and nerves, producing inflammation and soreness and the sharp, cutting paius peculiar to this distressing disease.
