FRIENDLY TO THE STOCKMEN. Portland Chamber of Commerce I'lrdRO Their Support. Tl e stockmen of Oregon will have the support of the Portland Chamber of Commerco in their effort to hold the Cascade forest reserve for grazing pur poses. Support was pledged at a meet ing of the trustees Tuesday morning. A committee of the Otegon Woilgrowcra' Association, headed by J. N. Williamson of Prineville, conferred witli the trusteee and convinced them tbut grazing in the reserve would not be injurious to tree life, would uot decrease the water sup ply, and that the danger of fire resulting from the pasturage of stock in the re serve is too small to be considered. Other members of the committee were: Geo. A. Young, of The Dalles, president of tho Oregon Woolgrowers' Association ; A. A. Bonney, of Tygh Valley; D. M. Fiench and Judge Bobert Mays, of The Dalles; Ex Governor Z. F. Moody, Hon. John Minto, of Salem ; State Dairy Com mission J. W. Bailey and Dr. James Withyeombe, of the Oregon Agricultural college, attended at the request of the association. Trustees of tho Chamber of Commerce present were: Geo. Taylor, Jr., who presided; Henry Hahn, R. Livingston and Geo. Lawrence. No order excluding stockmen from the Cascade reserve has been issued. Stock men having been ordered out of the Rainier reserve, in Washington, it is be lieved that an order closing tho Cascade reserve will not be long in forthcoming. For this reason Oregon woolgrowers de cided to begin a campaign against the issuance of the order, rather than one for the revocation of the order after it had been Issued. In his speech before the meeting Mr. Minto eaid : "About 300,000 sheep are summered on the eastern slope of the Cascade mountains near the desert. That desert is inhabitable only because of the range facilities afforded to tho inhabitants. The eastern slope ot the Cascades is more valuable for grazing than for tim ber. It is valueless so far as timber is concerned. Tho timber there is not merchantable. The American Forestry Association demands the reservation and withdrawal from sale of all lands containing timber. The Ptate of Oregon hae a 5-per-cent interest in tho sale of all government land sold within her borders. If tho American Forestry As sociation wins its point on the with drawal oi the timber lands in thU state from sale, where is Oregon going to get its 5-per-cent? Would not such a with drawal be a violation of the compact be tween the United States andthe state of Oreaon? I think the United Ptatee should give this land to Oregon, to be rented or leased or sold, in order that the state may get the income from it to which it is entitled. -rOregoniun.

Vein In Thin Country mill In Mexico, It In Snlil Iinvc Iteeonie 12liniiHtuil, The opal mines in Mexico and in the United States have been about exhaust ed, no opals of much value being found. At one time large sums were made out of them. The richest mines uve at Oaxaca, but valuable deposits have been found nt many places both in Mex ico and the United States. Opals occur in veins, in exactly the same manner as silver or gold. They are a species of silicate infused -with a large percentage of water, which gives them their magnificent coloring; the iridescence is really a rainbow ef fect and the colors are caused l.y a prismatic refraction of the liffht rays. The reds, blues and yellovva occur in the regular rainbow order nr.d a you turn it the miniature rainbows uha.su each other around tho interior of the stone. Opals coming from below the level of tiie water in a mine are not denia ble. They may lose their color or crack after being exposed to the sun light. As soon as a mine reaches water level it is abandoned. The3c abandoned mines are the base of operation:) of the fakirs, for the most part Mexicans who cut the opals found in them and peddle them to the unwary, mostly tourists. Owing to the great pcrcentaga of watf.r these stones are remarkably brilliant and sell readily. In order to ret::in their brilliancy and prevent cracking the fakirs carry them in their mouths. The mine owner rarely cuts his own gems. Skilled labor is too expensive. Peon labor at a much less cost is em ployed. Families of stone cutters who have been in the business for genera tions live near the mines. Tlity sckef pieces of material out of the mine and buy it at the best bargain they can obtain. The purchase is taken home and the whole family of the peon is set to work on it, the most primitive sort of instruments being used, most of the work being done by hand. His work completed, the cutter sells the .stone back to the mine owner and the proit is his wages. The buyer for the mine owner must be a man of great patience, for the peons are persistent hagglers in trading. The whole batch is invariably bought, although there may be in the lot only one desirable stone, for if you select that one the peon will ask more for it than he would for the bunch. In thb way a large number of almost valuekss stones come into thepossession of the mine owner, which accounts for the small prices of mnny so-called opals. Many of these are dis posed of by the mine owners at three dollars u hundred. Y. Sun. At n Hucrllico. Forty acres, y. mile from Snrngue landing, inilo from Carson I. O,, Skamania Co., Wash.
