Since our last Issue, the order of tion Is a good thing, as these timber I withdrawal nf nn Immense belts all lie along the mountain area jn the Blue mountains as a forest nuges at the head of streams, and reserve has been issued. All fears that the timber causes a greater rain- nave become facts.

Of course, all of these the ories are reasonable to some extent but the most vital point to tho people 1b the settlement of tho country. they conclude. When we contemplate the effects of such a reserve as has been indi cated, an evil suggested In our last issue takes gigantic form. Timber is the most available resource of the Aatrnt With trnnnnnrtntlnn It In While it looks wrong, and is wrong re. tQ ,e,d tne owner rlch returns for tho corporations to completely immediately.

It offers Pacific Northwest lies Its future, and' 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 vent further stealing, and then the reservation should bo thrown open for honest acquirement Tho country Js in a bad state of affairs if all of this 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 porary withdrawal is maintained, the Interior Department officials will bo open to suggestions. Thoy should bo Informed on tho nature of the Blue mountain range, tho rcspectlvo altl- tdcs of the land where timber is sought and that whore snow would be conserved for summer and fall water supply. They should bo lm nressed with tho isolation of tho dls trlct, the solitariness of tho mines if timber is withdrawn, tho urgency of development and other facts weigh intr unon local residents as the sltua Ion is analyzed. If mining and other 'ntnrnst wore unanimous In this et fort, doubtless enough timber land could be withdrawn from present boundaries to maintain tho Induce mcnte for railroads, to which we have been looking so hopefully. Citizens should meet and discuss tho matter A plan of action upon which all would agree for strenuous effort couiu not fall to be evolved. Sumpter Anion can. 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. New York Worlu.
