Say the Southern Oregon Withdrawal i Not Good Timber Land No Fear of a Rush to the 8eene. "The withdrawal of tho Oregon tim ber lands from location and the plac ing of the same In the forestry re servu will work no particular hard ships on timber locators," said a Ta coma man who has just returned from a trip to Ashland, Oregon. "I went down there with a timber locator and a party of 12 people from Taconia and nine from South Prairie and we looked the ground over care fully. Out of tho 21 persons who went there to select timber claims only five concluded to file and 1 be lieve that they are making a mistake. The South Prairie men were all ex pcrlencd In timber matters and not one of them would have anything to do with the Oregon timber. Far From Railroad. "To begin with, tho land is located 100 miles from a railroad and there Is no reason why a railroad should ever be built Into the country. Owing to the high altitude of the land It will never be possible to raise anything there after tho timber is removed, for a snowstorm Is Just as likely to occur on the Fourth of July as on Christmas day. The timber on tho land Is very light and experienced men say that not more than 500,000 feet of good clear timber could be secured from any one claim. It would, perhaps, be possible to cut a couplo of million feet of scrub lumber from a claim, but on the whole I do not look upon the proposition as a good Investment." NO TOURNAMENT.

Faithful Old Darkey and His Respon slbllltles. Before ho was well known, Wendell riillllns. the distinguished abolition 1st, went to Charleston and put up at a hotel. He had breakfast served in his room, and was waited upon by a slave. Mr. PNlllps seized upon tho oppor tunity to represent to the colored man In a pathetic way that ho regarded him as a man and a brother, and that !)' himself was an abolitionist. Tho cither, however, seemed more anxious About the guest's breakfast than ho was about his own position In tho social sralo or tho condition of his bonl. Flnnllv.
