THE CASCADE EES Eli Vli.
The people living along the east,
crn slope of tbc Cascades and adja
cent thereto, are just at present mak
ing a vigor effort to have the Cascade
forest reservation thrown open to the
pasturage of slock of all kinds. To
them it is a question of more moment
than either tariff or finance, for under
present conditions inevitable ruin
stares them in the face.
The section named is devoted,
after getting twenty miles south of
the Columbia, almost exclusively to
stock raising. The distance to mar
ket forbids agricultural pursuits, at
least while prices pie vail as low as
they have been. The country, how
ever, is peculiarly adapted to stock
raising. The foot-hills and plains
permit the raising of wheat hav, and
some of Hie creek bottoms, where ir
rigation is possible, give good yields
of alfalfa, thus providing feed for
winter. As the snow melts from the
hills the cattle and sheep follow up,
fattening on the tendergrasses until
in midsummer the summits of the
mountains are reached, and as the
fall approaches, the herds and ilocks
feed down again, retiring before the
early snows, and reaching winter
quarters in good condition. The
mountains being free to all stock,
permit this, and not only make the
mountain pastures available, but also
the foot-hills and lauds adjacent,
since the latter can be farmed and
the products used for stock. As a
result many substantial improvements
have been made along the edge of the
slope, large tracts fenced and culti
vated, fine residences built, money
expended in providing ditches and
Humes for irrigating, and all this to
provide winter feed for stock and to
take advantage of the suirmer ranre
furnished by the mountains.
The closing of this range is a vir
tual confiscation of all this property,
for without the s J miner range it is
practically worthless. It is conserva
tively estimated that 2o0,000 sheep
arc pastured on the eastern slopes of
the Cascades, besides innumerable
bands of cattle. "With the range'
closed, the ranches along the base of
the mountain become valueless, for
tllfi lmrdf inil5t lif innvnil nn1 tlm
industry for the locality adandoned.
Products of wool, mutton and beef,
amounting to more than one million
dollars annually, will be utterly de
stroyed, and for what? It is said to
preserve the timber. If this were
true; if the pasturing of the reserva
tion injured the timber or destroyed
the forests, there might be some ex
cuse for the reservation, notwith
standing the loss entailed on the
stockmen. But it is not true.
on account of the moist climate and
the more nctivo and vigorous desire
to survive possessed by the Oregon
Hi- over the other cvergreene, a sec
ond growth always follows the re
moval or destruction ot the first.
Couooriiiiiii the setting of fires and
destruction of timber from that and
other causes, the fault of which is
placed on the stockmen, we shall
have something further to say.
Elsewhere we print a notice of the
organization of the Christian Volun
teers of America. In our humble
opinion the Salvation Army is more
than filling the field, and wc suggest
that the new organization commence
its labors by some hard wrestling
with Noah Webster's onomasticon.
Civilized man is entitled to have the
road lo the next world pointed out
by persons intelligent enough to dis
tinguish the capital J5 from a cow's
track, and to have his "desires,"' at
least, spelled correctly.
The article on the subject of the
road to the free bridge, contained in
Saturday's Ciikonicli:, is worthy of
more than passing thought. If The
Dalles is to maintain her supremacy,
she must provide coo.l roads, and
the one spoken of is a necessity in
opening up the market for our goods
in Sherman county, and inducing
the sale of its products here. We
lope the Commercial Club will give
he matter it's earliest attention.
A "QUID" OF TOBACCO, -i
How U Small Till ut; Stopped Operations
ou it Grout Wur Klilp.
Lieut. Knillo Duboo tolls tin amusing
story of an event, which, ho says, cer
tainly led lo the- downfall of hydraulic
machinery in the French service. A
few years ago the authorities of u great
shipbuilding firm were very much per
turbed when the trials for turning the
turrets of a new battle ship, in the pres
ence of the committee appointed to take
over the ship, were failures. A day or
two before everything had gone satis
factorily. Hut now the turret, after
some slight, movements, stuck fast.
The gauges indicated the normal pres
sure; there was nothing wrong with
the turret or with the. racks for rotat
ing it; there was no perceptible leak
in any of the pipes, ami it was so im
possible to assign any reason for the
behavior of the turret that the com
mittee had to go home without seeing
it revolve. That evening and the fol
lowing day a complete- overhaul was
made of the system of piping, and it
was then discovered that, one small hut
important pipe was completely choked
by a "quid" of chewed tobacco, which a
workman had doubtless let fall into it
inadvertently. When this was re
moved the turret worked as well as
ever, out tuc disquietude causeti oy me
want of success of the day before was
only increased wlmn it was discovered
how insignificant the cause had been.
From that, day the naval authorities de
cided that in future wherever practic
able t lie power for battle, ship opera
tions should be carried by a wire in
stead of a steam pipe.
