THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
Sua the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fio Sybup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
11 the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact ' will
assist one in avoiding1 the worthless
imitations manufactured by other pa
ties. The high standing- of the Cau
Vobnia Fj3 Sykup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the "name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
iar ia advance of all other laxatives,
lis it acts on the kidneys, liver and
"bowels without irritating' or weaken
In? them, and it does not gripe nor

SHOULD NOT BE LEASED.
Says Out Correspondent Let Others
Speak on the Subject.
To the Stockmen, Farmers and all
other Citizens of tbe State of Oregon
Tbe point we wibIi to make in this com
municatxm is to show that our timber
reserve should not be leased for the pur
pose of pasturing stock.
The timber reserve of tbe Cascade
mountains in Oregon extends from the
Columbia on the North to the California
line on the south and - without definite
figures we estimate ita breadth at about
sixty miles. Thirty miles from tbe ex
treme eaet and west brines us to the
commit of these heavy timbered mount
aids, the " west side of which is more
ienee, with; timber and undergrowth
Thirty years ago this timber belt was
the largest of any body of timber in the
world of equal dimensions. The eilt
moss sticks and "leaves had formed "a
eeed bed all over the ground from one to
ten inches deep, and the undergrowth,
email and large timber, was bo thick that
you could not get through it with a
horse, where now yen can drive through
it with horses and wagon, and in places,
almost to the summit. We are speaking
more particularly of the east side of the
reserve, for it is in a moch dryer climate
than the west. In traveling down these
mountains east about ten or fifteen miles
the high ridges begin to get thinner of
timber and eoon you come to traces of
bunch grass and open ridges, but the
hill eides and hollows were yet densely
mbered. The snow fell very deep in
inter upon this thick mulching of silt,
moss, sticks and leave before mentioned,
and also among tbe thick undergrowth
and trees which would cause the snow
to go off very slow, in fact, it would hist,
some years, until almost the first - of
August and tbe ground then was very
loose and absorbed the water from the
melting .enow like a sponge, and thus
seeps slowly into the creeks and keeps
them flush all tbe season.
A great change is now being wrought
in many of these things. Our timber,
the pride and boast of the United States,
and tbe peer of the world, is being
watted, and dettroyed much faster than
ever before. Who can compute the
value of the timber wantonlytdeetroyed
in the last eight or ten years; or what it
would be worth when our commerce has
attained its full development in the
orient, which market will be almost
boundless.
We hear some one crying, visionary,
tor by tbe rule of progress we, nor our
children, will ever see a market for this
timber.
We answer, that we already live in a
me when all things are worked by the
double rule of progress and now who
can tell what a year may bring forth, es
pecially, if we judge the future by tbe
past.
Let us again turn from fancies to facts.
Large tracts of this indispensible and es
sential seed bed before spoken of, is now
destroyed bv fires and the tramping .of
herds, and is bare and dusty, upon
which the snows fall in" winter. With
much of the timber, the undergrowth.
and mulching gone, the first winds and
warm sun of the spring melts this snow
very rapidly causing tbe rivers and
creeks to oveiflow their banks and wash
ng away many acres of valuable land as
well as precipitating and running off the
whole season's waters in a very few
days.
In the hot summer time the herds are
kept tbe most of the time on the creeks
and other watering places and from
these places the freshets take all their
filth and deposits down the mountain
streams, and fouls all tbe water and air
n the settlements below. Our rivers
and creeks are affording more impure
water; the air is drier and less healthy;
our seasons have less rain in spring and
pummer, and our crops are Bhorter.
It will be very nice for this peerless
belt of timber to be parceled out to us
and leased to us for the ' pittance of one
cent a head per year. If we can thus
succeed, we can safely promise that in.
less than eight years we can make of it
the best stock ranges on . the Pacific
coast, and by that time we can herd on
every foot of this now grand timber re
serve, and will have truly "killed the
goose that laid the golden egg."
One proposition more claims a few
thoughts here, and that is this, that
herding stock on the timber reserve is a
benefit to it. Does this need repeating?
Will any man say who was in this belt
of timber thirty years ago, thai it is now
better, thicker, thriftier and moreyounq
timber; the water plen tier ; tbe seasons
damper ; the climate bealther andf all to
gether tbe country was better? We have
been more or less familiar with this tim
ber belt for the last thirty-five years and
know whereof we sneak. H. Rick.

ATTORNEYS
ARE TOO ACTIVE
Members of the Legislature Resent the
Lobbying Tacties of the District
1 v Attorneys. "'
Salem, Feb. 2. Since the discovery
of the mare's nest in the-Curtis bill pro
viding for the 'extension . of the tenure
of office of all ' the district attorneys in
the state until 1902, the lobby of district
attorneys on the ground has been more
active than ever. - '
Cleeton, who is believed to be the au
thor of the bill, is as active as a flea.
Russell E. Sewall. of Portland, Watson,
of Ashland, and White, of Baker City,
are also again on the ground, and the
lives of many, members of tbe legislature
are being made a burden to" them in
consequence.
Since the expense of tbe little game
that was being nursed so cerefully, Mow
ever, It is not belieyed that the district
attorneys will accomplish much by fur
ther lobbying. There is a feeling among
legislators that these officials should re
turn to their borne and attend to the
business lor which they are being paid
by the taxpayers. The lobbying of these
officials places them in a most unenvia
ble light, and it were perhps better for
them bad they remained at home.
Announcement.
To Whom It May Concern : I bave
this day disposed of the dental office
heretofore occupied by me, to Dr. G. E.
Sanders, who will continue tbe eame in
the tooms formerly occupied by me in

I take pleasure in recommending Dr.
Sanders to all my old friends - and
patrons and ask for bim a continuous of
the liberal patronage heretofore given
me.
I bave seen Dr. Sanders work for the
lst four years and I must say it places
him among the best operatorj of the
present time. And I am sure that be
will treat all who call upon him kindly,
patiently, intelligently and fairly.

xou are perhaps aware that pneu

was never followed by that disease when
