The Pilot Rock Record says of the cause of the downfall of ex-Councll-man W. J. Sewell, who embezzled funds from the Potlatch Lumber com cany, and Is now In the penitentiary: If Mr. Sewell had the money today that was borrowed from him by vari ous nersons. friends of course, he could nrobably pay all he owes, or, In other words, if It had not been for those who constantly besought him for a loan of 10. 20 and 100 dollars at various times, with no intention of ever repaying it, he would today be walktnsr the streets of Pendleton the same highly respected citizen he was before falling a prey to those who take advantage of a man who is will' ins to accommodate a friend In straightened circumstances. When Mr. Sewell was arrested In San Francisco by the sheriff of this county, he had, all told, 15 cent in his pockets. One of his friends In Pendleton who owed him upwards of $200, paid him $5 on his return from the Bay city. Of this amount he gave a man who was sentenced to two years In the penitentiary from Pendleton $2. SO, In order that the man might be able to buy a few extras after his arrival at Salem. The man who will give away his money Is not a safe person to handle the money of others. FOX TIMBER LANDS. Tort Townscnd Will Get More Reve nue from Speculators. Taxes of Seattle capitalists who own tlmberlands In Jefferson coun ty are to be enormously Increased, says a Port Townsend dispatch. Drastic measure were agreed up on bv the Port Townsend Commercial club nt a meeting Just held to dis cuss the announcement of Seattle pa pera that the railroad rrojects on this peninsula are to be nbandoned because the speculators bad rather hold than sell their logs. "It Is Infamous," said one orator at the meeting, "that these grabbers should not only be permitted to grow rich at the expense of the peo ple, but should retard the develop ment of the country to serve their own selfish ends." The low assessment on timber lunds In this county has been a scan dal for years, but until now there has been n organized effort for re adjustment. It la said that timbered tracts assessed as low as one and two hundred dollars have sold at forced sale for a hundred times as much. Whether the county will send out an assessor or order a horizontal raise on all timber land in the county has not yet been determined by the com merclal club is resolved to effect the increase at whatever cost. Grand Rondo Electric Power Scheme S. A. Thompson, a representative of the General Electrical company of Portland, N. E. Imhaus, of Ba ker City, and other interested, left La Grande Saturday for the upper Grand 'Ronde river to Investigate an extensive power project in that lo cality. It 1 roughly estimated that between 18,000 and 25,000 horse power can be generated along the upper, portion cf the Grand Ronde river about 40 mile above La Grande. The idea In it present shape contemplate two power sta tions, one at tbe foot of Carson hill at the mouth of Tanner gulch and tbe other at Woodley. At the latter j.olnt the river make a rapid de scent and flows through a deep can yon. It is figured that a dam at this point will furnish means of power development almost unlimited. Mr. Thompson Is the representative of the electric company in this Investi gation and if his report is favorable It is considered certain that the nuge undertaking will at once as sume active shupu The prospective market for the power to' be developed I In PePndle- tcn, La Grande, the adjacent mining district and the O.

Overcrowding of the grazing lands of the public domain of the west be fore the creation of the national for ests, brought many of the ranges in to very poor condition,, and many stockmen have requested advice on possible methods of increasing the forage, says John E. Lathrop. The bureau of plant Industry of the de partment of agriculture, and the for est service have Just Joined in co operative work in Investigating the best means to develop an Increased forage crop In the overgrazed nation al forests. Frederick V. Colvllle of the bureau of plant industry has been placed In charge of the work of making these Investigations and will report to the forester In the matter. The fields in which these Investigations will lm meriately begin are located, at fol lows: Imnaha national forest, Ore gon; Sawtooth national forest, Ida ho, and Pike' Peak national forest, Colorado. The work In each forest will be in pharge of a special Inspec tor or special agent reporting to Mr. Covllle. Mr. Covllle Is well fitted to con duct these Investigations In reseed Ing the ranges as he has had exten sive experience in much other work along the same line. In 1898 he compiled a report on sheep grazing In the Cascade mountains of Oregon for the forest service and in 1904 In the service of the public land com mission Investigated and made a re port on grazing under state lease laws. He la a director of the botani cal experiment station of the Carne gie institution at Tucson, Arizona, and Is lending valuable service in the bureau of plant Industry of the de partment of agriculture. The especial significance of this new departure lies in the fact that it shows the forest service Is not only trying to prevent abuse from making the range worse, but is also taking active steps to make the range bet ter. Obviously this Is of large im portance to the grazing Industry. All grazing tends to change the charac ter of the forage generally for the worse, Just as timber cutting tends to change the character of .the for est for the worse by taking out the most valuable trees and leaving the poorer kinds to take their place. One of the first results of over grazing Is seen In thr increase of the number of weeds, which stock either refuse to eat or avoid as long as any thing better can be found, and which therefore goes to seed. If the natur al grazing of the land of the west Is to be made the most of, It must grow Write for our BANKING 4 INTEREST ON SAVINGS ACCOUNTS SAVINGS BANK of the Tnttk (Kraramtt & Trastt (DMjpsiimy Pays 4 per cent on savings account.

HAILEY the kinds of forage plants which will give the-range the highest value per acre to the stockmen. It Is .therefore a fact of consider able Interest to the stock industry that the matter is to be taker! up scientifically, to find out in the light of full knowledge of the require ments and the feeding value of all kinds of plants what It It will pay to try to Introduce In the national for ests. In the management of grazing on some of the range the forest service has found It necessary to greatly re duce the number of stock in order to stop the damage from overgrazing of the land. That this damake ha tak en place Is admitted by the stockmen themselves. In attempting to Increase the amount of forage by artificial seed ing, If possible, the principal ques tion to be settled are whether it is practicable to seed these ranges or any portion of them with seed of either native or cultivated grasses or other forage plants, and what system of range management of both cattle and sheep will best permit the val uable native grasses to reseed them selves and thus Increase the carrying capacity of the range. If the prob lems can be solved in the ranges where the Investigations are about to begin other experiments will natural ly follow in practically all of the na tional forests which contain range lands.
