FOREST AND FLOOD.
The conditions prevailing espcel
ally along the eastern slope of the
Cascades are not understood by the
advocates of forest protection, and
in consequence their arguments arc
without force. Wc believe as much
as anyone in the preservation of our
grand forests, but at the same time
we believe in using the 'lands upon
which they grow when it can be done
without in any way injuring the for
est.
The principal objection made to
pasturing the reserves is that it
would destroy the undergrowth
which now retards the How of water
from the melting snows, and would
consequently cause disastrous Hoods.
This argument is correct in theory,
but, applied to the eastern slope of
the Cascades, false in fact. It ap
plies to conditions on the headwaters
of the Mississippi, but it does not
apply here. In the first place, the
sheep can do little or nothing tow
ards destroying the undergrowth, for
it grows and spreads faster than all
the sheep in the country can keep it
down; and as for the Hood condi
tions, they do not and cannot exist.
A glance at the map of Oregon will
show -that the entire eastern slope of
the Cascades diains north into the
Columbia through the Deschutes
river, a stream nearly .'iOO miles long,
Tunning due north along the eastern
base of the range. For its entire
length it runs through a deep can
yon, has practically no bottom nor
farming lands, and to do any damage
along its own course would have to
rise from 1000 to :000 feet. As it
has a fall of from twenty to fifty feet
to the mile for the last half of its
course, and the canyon is from .'500
yards to half a mile wide, it will be
readily seen that there can be no
danger of Hood along the stream
itself.
2iov again, the only place where
the Columbia Hood can do any dam
age is below the mouth of the Des
chutes. Let us see, if we can, what
effect, the Deschutes Hood would have
on the Columbia. We have not the
figures at hand to show the volume
of water passing down the Columbia
or the Deschutes at Hood periods,
but knowing the streams as we do.
as all of us do, it is safe to say that
the Deschutes at its highest, when
the Columbia is also high, would net
add one half-inch to the height of the
latter.
So all arguments concerning the
destruction of the undergrowth on
the eastern slope of the Cascades,
causing Hood conditions, become ab
surd. On the western slope condi
tions are different, and there theory
and fact would agree. "We do not
believe the pasturage of such portions
of the western slope as admit of it
The Grant monument is soon to
be dedicated. New York City
begged for the corpse of the great
American that it might raise a monu
ment over it; but m a month the
matter was forgotten, and much of
the mono' was furnished by the
countr' at large. It will be a long
time before another national charac
ter will be buried in that state, pro
viding any place else can be found
for the interment. Now the dedica
toiy ceremonies arc being widely
advertised, not in honor of Grant,
but for the purpose of inducing peo
ple to visit New York and spend
their money there.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at laast
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive euro known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
C:ire is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous eurtaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have to much
faith in its curative powers, that thoy
offer Ono Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

The man who eats because he is hun
gry is, thus far, on the level with the
brutes. The man who stops eating the
moment his hunger is appeased Is the
wise man. Nature needs no more food
than he calls for. Continued excess
brings about indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, am
bition and mental power, and an ac
cumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
