When we contemplate the effects
of such a reserve as has been indi

to retard this not only injures the
jcople living here, but the many
homeless ones who are looking this
way. The great resources of this
country are for tho people and they
should be ever ready for the proper
ones to tako charge of them.
If it could be done, tho scoundrels
who have been stealing the landB, as
well as their henchmen, should be
run to the earth and prosecuted to tho
fi.ll extent of the law, and such other
laws be passed and such restrictions
thrown around the matter as to pre

reservation should bo thrown open for

cannot be done.
In the meantime such regulations as
to grazing should bo made as to give
all an equal show at tho grasses
growing on the lands, at the same
the greatest .nducoment for construc
tion of others. In the wilds of the
Blue mountains there Is little agri
culture. Mines and lumber alone are
Nature's lounty here. When such
scarcity of resources exist, it seems
more likely to Insure . the district
longer handicap under the curse of
undeveloped wastes, if one of tho in
ducements for the entrance of capital
is removed. While not necessarily
related, in this district tho lumber and
i. jning in dustries stand close to
gether. Incidentally lumber gave
mining a hand when the Sumptor Val
ley road was constructed. It was of
fering another from tho John Day.
Lumber removed, how soon rmv wo
expect ,a railroad to open up Susan
vlllc, Quartzburg, and the Green
horns? Mines invite, but rail lines
hesitate. With tho clear profit to bo
made from timber as an additional in
ducement, there was hope for early
rc-iicf.
Thero is but ontf avenue for escape
from tho dilemma. While tho tem

fort, doubtless enough timber land
could be withdrawn from present

been looking so hopefully. Citizens

THE MINE REGION MURDERS.
The brutal murder of Daniel Swee
ney.a non-union mine worker while on
his way to his home in Hanover, Pa.,
following closely the equally shocking
murder of tho merchant Joseph Bed
dall, shows only too plainly that there
is an element among the strikers
whose lawless impulses President
Mitchell and the union's district off!
clals cannot control. Tho tide of pub
11c opinion and sympathy will be turn
ed with overwhelming force against
the strikers by such deeds as these.
Another Mollio McGuire reign of
terror in the coal country is not to be
tolerated. And It Is quite clear, as
Father O'lteilly said in his recent
courageous sermon, only the presence
of the troops prevents It. In such a
situation there is nothing to be done
except to use all the military force
that is necessary to hold down this
murderous, element, which is almost
entirely made up of Ignorant and pas
sionate foreigners who cannot over
speak our language, much less under
stand our laws and the respect they
owe thereto.
Until life and property are perfect
ly safe from attack In the mining re
gion further argument on the merits
oi the strike is unprofitable. The
maintenance of liberty under law is
the previous question," and until de
cided it takes precedence of all others.
