TIMBER LAND FRAUDS. to is The timber land frauds are re ceiving as much condemnation in thiu country as are the trust frauds Tho timber land frauds are well known and the manner in which they are operated are well known. Well why is a halt not called? The land offices are informed, the citizens living in the section where the lands are being taken are informed and all are complaining, yet no one attempts to stop it. In a few years it. will be charged that the timber lands were all stolen by big companies and corporations anu it will all be charged to some one. But then it will be too late remedy the ovil. The scheme weu Known, certain big companies are in the back ground of the steal They put forward men who are with out responsibility and these men ad vertise for men who wish to take up timber claims. The cruisers of timber. The man who takes up the claim goes to the land office under the special "ohaperonage" of one of theso "stool-pigeons" of tho com panies, makes his application swears that he is a bona-fide citi zen, honestly exercising his right to claim the tract (lied upon, and all other things necessary to be sworn and has along with him as witnesses -jien who are at the same time filling claims, and all prove up for each other. In the face of all this they have already bargained their "claims' to the companies, and are perpetra ting a deliberate fraud upon the gov ernment, upon the law and the pul lie. And strango to say the officers ganerally know thit at tho time. They also know tho companies, their rep re3entatives, their cruisers and their sjool-pigeons. And it is also sad to say that many of those who are tak ing up claims are reputed to bo good citizens. They will also doubtless join in the cry of fraud within the next few years. The purpose of the law Is to dis tribute these forests out equally among the citizens of the country, Each citizen is to exercise the right if. he wishes to do so. It was not the purpose to place the lands in tho hands of a few persons, corporations or companies. This will retard tho settlement of the country and result In a hardship against the public and the bona-fide settlers. Yet, tho very men that should be most interested in protecting the forests and seeing that they go into the hands of bona fide settlers 4are aiding in carrying out the frauds. There may come a time when everybody will do right! The president's determination to take the stump" in the approaching campaign and to send all the spell binders in his cabinet on a circle swinging tour promises of a strenu ous political season. If Tracy has started across tho country to Colorado on horseback, he will never make it. He was suc cessful in traveling from copse to copse of tho thickly wooded section of the country west of the Cascades, but when he undertakes to cross tho w'Jo expanses of open country be- will never succeed. Some fellow will ' ln Partisan campaigning get him at long range, from which point tho deputies' nerves will be steadied and their aim bettor. game turned into rowdyism and pro fanity both in the field and the grand stand is not likely to draw and hold the best element very long. If men in the gamo cannot control them selves they should be let out, and those who persist In interfering with the game from the outside by dis turbing the players and audience should be thrown out. The Indians are sharper than it was thought. They have formed a plan by which they expect to get good whisky in the future. When the man puts ' off a poor quality on them, they propose to have him ar rested. As long as he sells a good article he may continue in the bus! ness. The grade of the liquor will be left entirely to the judgment of the Indian. His judgment may bo based on how ho feels the next day, and this will depend largely upon the amount he drinks. Anyway, if he decides that it was mean liquor the seller will be sent up. If his sys tern is out of order and It does not take well oven to good liquor, the seller will not escape. The young hoodlums who chari- varled a newly-married couple at The Dalles, smashed in the windows and assaulted the minister who perform ed the ceremony, ought to get the full limit of the law, and have cor poral punishment added. A scheme is on by the operators to down the striking miners. Have not they always downed them in the end With the sympathy of the adminis tration why should not the coal operators, the trust, and all of their friends always win? ally be expected to "tell the people' that the punishment of "Hell-Roaring Jake" Smith, tho consuro of Major Glenn and the penalties Inflicted on other officers in the Philippines wore not for cruel or savage acts, but simply to "spike tho guns" of tho democrats about things that never happened. Secretary Shaw, who 1b to "open tho campaign in Maine," ought to but pretty certainly won't "tell tho people" what he thinks of a "protec tive" duty on cattle and meat (of which we are the largest exporters in tho world) that enables the Beef Trust to clinch its monopoly of tho home market while selling meat more cheaply in London than ln Now York The president himself is to talk about Cuban reciprocity. Will he "tell the people" why they should support ills party in the senate, a ma Jority of whom, according to Senator Burton, were opposed to Cuban or any other reciprocity, rather than the democrats, who voted in the house almost to a man for the 20 per cent reduction, and stood ready to do so in tlfe senate of the majority nad given them a chance? It will at least add to the interest of the contest to have the adminis tration lead tho campaign. Sharp re joinders and pointed criticism will of course be in order, for on the stump these high officials must ex pect to be treated us partisaus, not as dignitaries. Now York World. Aberdeen, Wash., has voted $100.- 000 bonds to be used for general pub- 1'u improvements. ANOTHJ3R CITY EDITOR Bright's DiseuBc and Diabetes Are Positively Curable.

She had been to Europe for treatment without re sult. Sho, too, took it and got well. I've told a great many. I know these Compounds to be certain cures in Bright's Disease and Diabetes.
