THE CASCADE RESERVATION.
Oregon has one of the.lagest
forest reserve in the world, or to
put it more, perhaps, in strict ac
cordance, with the truth, one of the
largest ; and finest forest reserves in
the world has Oregon. The state is
cut in two from north to south by a
reservation, made presumably for
the purpose of protecting the timber,
and from twenty to sixty miles in
width. While much of the area con
tained within its lines is of little or
no value, except for its timber, there
la much that is of the very best or-
cnara lanns in the state. This is
' nnfnhlv frtio if T TV, . J .. it
- v. uv. ui xauuii nver vaiiry,
where about , three townships of the
very finest orchard lands are kept
barren and useless when they would
furnish homes for a multitude of
people. Another feature in . this
rnrtiAnlaw ... !. . 1 1 1 ' t -1
f ""1""' tusc a tuut iue ianu so
withheld from settlement is of no
value whatever for timber, being
most of it covered with, scrub oak,
undergrowth, or scattering firs nf nn
commercial value. That the same
conditions exist along each slope of
the Cascades is also true.
If the reservation did any good
whatever, this hardship and the ad
ditional one of the mountains being
closed to pasturage in the summer,
might be in a degree palliated, but
it does no good. Here is a tract of
land 300 miles long and an average
of thirty miles wide, from which the
settler, in search of a home, and the
stockman, in search of feed, for jtfis
flocks, is debarred. It is open only
for the sportsman. The reserve was
created tneoretically to protect, the
; timber thei eon from destiucticn, by
fire, yet the source from which the
. ww v uivo OWIll) Ul
the careless camper, is riot interfered
with. Besides this the boundaries
are not defined so that they may be
seen, and stockmen must herd their
flocks near the edge of the-reserve at
their peril.
The goverment set aside the lauds,
and in doing so worked a great in
jury to the state by virtually reduc
ing its area. Nearly ten per cent of
the entire area of the state is with
drawn from settlement for an indefin
ite period. No one has been placed
in charge of It; at least no one whom
the public may look to for informa
tion concerning its boundaries, or the
rules or regulaiions, if any, the de
partment has made for its govern
ment. It is no one's business to look
after it, unless the special agent, who,
we understand, has some authoriry
over it, can be considered as a sort
of superintendent. ' His principal
business seems to be the prosecution
of stockmen, and nothing is done
towards preventing fires, which are
just as numerous since the reserva
tion was. made as before. If it has
to be maintained the. government
should at least take some steps for
the preservation of the timber and
make some show of trying to carry
out the-declared intent in creating
it. . '
We understand an attempt will be
made at this session of congress to
have the area largely reduced by
making a leservatlon , around Mfr.
Hood, one around the ' Sisters, and
perhaps one or two others, and throw
ing the balance open to settlement.
It is a good move, and we hope it
will be successful. .
, 4It is understood President-elect
McKinley desires to have the senate
pass and President Cleveland ap
prove the Di'ngley tariff bill so as to
provide sufficient revenue to run the
government nm.il a general tariff bill
is passed. The Dingley "bill is an
emergency bill, and expires accord
ing to its own terms August 1, 3898.
Its principal features are putting -a
dnty equal to six-tenths of the Mc
Kinley duties on wool. nd adds the
same amount to the tariff on woolen
goods. It does the same thing for
lumber of all kinds.
In suggesting economical measures
for the consideration "bf the next
legislature, nearly every newspaper
in the state has expressed a desire to
see the railroad commission abol
ished. We have but little knowl-.
eldge as to its usefulness,' but we
know people here who insist it is
better than nothing.
The indications are that congress
will take some action concerning.
Cuba. The members of, the senate
are'nearly all in favor of recognizing
her independence, and of compelling
Spain to conduct her warfare in a
civilized manner;
Weyler has gone in pursuit of
Maceo again, having several mortal
blows concealed about his. person.
He will deal them to Maceo - when he
gets the next shuffle. ,
Presidential Coincidences.
.The following are coincidences notice
able in contemplating the names and
lives of the first seven presidents of the
United States Washington, John
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
John Quincy Adams and Jackson. -
First Four of the seven were from
the same state, Virginia.
Second Two others, bearing the
same name, were from the same state.
Third The last of the seven, being
particularly tenacious of his opinions and
ways, came very properly from Tennes
see. ( Jackson.) . .
Fourth All of them, save one, were
66 years old on retiring from office.
Fifth All of the last-mentioned served
two terms.
Sixth The one who served one term
only, had he served two terms, wonld
have been 66 years old upon retiring
from office.
Seventh Three of the seven died on
the 4th day ot July and two of them on
the same day in the same year.
Eighth One only 'of the seven had
a eon and. that son was one of " the
seven presidents.
Ninth Two of them were on the snb
committee of -.'three that" drafted the
Declaration of Independence; and these
two were the same two that died on the
same day and year and on the anniver
sary of the signing of the Declaration
and just a half century from the day of
the Declaration.
Tenth The . names of three of the
seven ended, in "son," yet not one of
these transmitted bis name to a son.
Eleventh One difference, as respects
the elder Adams and the younger (not
worthy of note in any other connec
tion) was that the latter sported a "Q"
in his name, but the elder a cne on his
back, as an appendage to bis head
dress. ....... .
Twelfth The initials of two were the
same, and those of two others were the
same reversed. : ..
