hart considers the winter more agreeable
in tbe timber seotion than upon tbe prairie,
the aettlera being sheltered from winds.
He is enthusiastic oyer the fertility of the

Tp the Reform Sohool.
Sheriff Driver left tbis morning for
Salem, having in custody Oscar Wolfard,
wbo was examined yesterday before
Judge Blakeley and considered a proper
person to bean inmate of the reform
school. - The boy is aged about 10 years,
and for some time past has been "run
ning wild" on the stretets. In his - case
it la very evident there has not been
that parental restraint exercised that
should have been, although tbe mother
made the complaint before the county
judge. There are other children in the
family that should be sent to the borae
or some charitable institution where they
.yould receive the necessary training for
the develop ment of character. It Is to be
hoped that Oscar will come out of the
reform school a better boy and with hab
its of industry formed that will give hitn
a proper appreciation of the necessity o
labor to earn a living. -
To Preserve the Forests.
A number of the western me nhers 0
congres, including Messrs. Ooffeta, of Wy
oming; Pickler, ot South Dakota; Hermann
and Elli', of Oregon; Doolittle and Wilson,
of Washington; MeRe, of Arkacsae; Cam
inctti, of California; Hartman, o! Muntana;
Hall, of Minnesota, and Weils and Lynch,
of WiBcot.sin, have agreed upon a aeries of
amendments to tbe hill to pioteJt forest
reservatipDl,
The smeudments provide that for the sole
purpose of preserving the living and grow
ing timber on the foreat reservation the
secretary of (he interior may eliminate ao
mucji only of the dead and matured trees
thereon aa may be necessary to preserve the
ren a'.ning timber. The seuretary is to des
ignate, appraise and advertise for sale tbe
dead er matured treea in limited quautitiea
to each purchasar. Tbe proceed ofthe
sale are to ba expended in tne care and
mantgemeut of the reservation. Upon the
recommendation of the secretary of the in
terior and with the approval of the presi
dent, and after due notice, any public landa
embraced within the iin.it of any foreet
hicb shall be found better adapted to agri
cultural than forest use may be restored to
the pablio domain, and land iu any foreat
reservations, the character of which miy
be shown in accordance with the mining
laws, msy be restcr9d to mineral location
and entry. Prospectors and mineral claim
ants are to have accrsi to the forest reser
vations for the purpose of prospecting, lo
cating and deyeioping their mineral re
sources.
Trial of Speed-
A foot race at 3 o'clock in the morning
is very early for such sport; but during
this season ef the year strange things may
happen, and at tbe hour mentioned a trial
ot speed was bad in front of the freight
depot in this city. The parties to tbe
contest were Harry Stevens and F.
Horwcge, and tbe bets were $'SW a side
aud the distance lOO yards, rttevens,
we are informed.is a professional sprinter,
and beat the champion of Antelope last
summer, lie bag been in tbe city some
time, and last night Horwege'was boast
ing of his speed, when' tbe race wat. made
and the stakes pat up. Knowing that the
city authorities would not permit the
race to be run, tbey made arrangements
and just before the passenger train ar
rived had the trial ol speed. Those who
were present say that Stevens wan tbe
race easily, and, while running, amused
himselt by looking. back and watching
the vain efforts of his opponcut to over
take him. He pocketed the money and,
we are inlormed, leu on the boat this
morning.
Since tbe above was In type we learn
that Stevens bad a companion named
Bertbwatte who helped him "work" Hor
wege, and that last night, before the race,
they managed to beat him out of consid
erable money. Mr. Horwege is an indus
trious, bard.working German, and bad
intended to make a visit to his old home
in Kurope before be met tbete sharpers
and lost his hard-earned coin.
Our readera will probably not beFurprwed
to read tbe following from the Walla Walla
Union: "Word has leached Walla Walla
that the ineu who went to Fort Bragg to
work upon the new road to be built by G
W. Hunt are in straightened circumstance
One hotel that waa boarding forty men had
to close and the men have gone into camp
with Pat Dwyer. . The only work to be had
ia when one of the email steamers belonging
to the mill company at that place arrive
and takea on timber. Thia only hapneos
onus a week, and the work laats a day and
a half. Work will not be commenced for
two or three months. G. W. Hunt i iu
San Francisco. It is reported that the men
are liable to be refused food at any time.
Mr. Duff, G. W. Hunt'a chief clerk, is in
San Francisco in atraightened circum
stances." TJ runic and. Demoralised.
A drunken Indian was arrested last
night by Officer Connelly and lodged ia
the city jail. He claimed 10 have only
imbibed cider; but the condition In
which he was found would lead one to
inter that it was of a more intoxicating
nature than mere apple juice. His head
was badly bruised from falling on the
sidewalk, and he did not have the least
control of his powers of perambulation.
Tbe noble abriglnee, to use a street par
lance, was well filled with "booze," and
had a si.fllcient "load" 00 board for two
men to carry. A rose will smell as sweet
by any other name, and whisky will
knock even ao Indian out if it Is called
cider.

Common Sense About Money-
Olympia Standard (Dem )
The unwritten laws of trade control tbe
value of money the same as of oommoditiei.
Increase the volume of silver abnormally
and it will fall in value when measured by
commodities possessing intriniio value. Un
limited coinage of ailver would undoubtedly
send the prices of labar and supplies just as
muoh higher as1 tbe increase of volume was
beyond the demand tor it on a gold basis. It
is impossible to substitute silver for gold as
tbe measure of valuo, while international
commerce recognizes only the better metal
in business transactions. The average
American voter does not always apply the
test of reason to his political acts, aud hence
demagogues play npon his credulity by ad
vocating measures which seem, at first
glance, to be desirable, and he casts his
vete to find that it is not productive of any
of the results promired.
The Asylum Goes. -
Ever sicca the Oregon asylum commis
sioners located the proposed institution on
lsnd in the vicinity of Union, there has
been a general impression that the building
would never ha eonatrnoted, says the East
Oregonian, and it has been intimated that
the commission never intended tbat it
should be built, ' Such aa opinion has been
aluost universally held throughout the
greater portion of Eastern Oregon and in
the Willamette valley. It now appears
tbat this opinioa was erroneous. Tbe
building commission are at work on the
plana and estimates and will within a rea
sonable time snhqjit them for bids by con
tractors. Tbe site is said to he very advan
tageous and tbe land rich and fertile. It ia
a couple of miles northweat of Union, The
Salem Pott saya the present asylum author
ities are in favor of the building of the new
asylum, on account of the crowded oondi.
tion of the one now in operation in Salem.
The 620 acres io ths new asylum site cost
$25,000. . -
Tbe Military Argument..
Lady Henry Somerset says Id the North
American Review; "Women have a greater
role than fighting. Tbey are the fountain
of the race, at which it recruits its losses,
perpetuates its hopes and conaeryes tbe
results of victories already gained. If
service to the nation is to conat aa a chief
article of faith for. the voter, the service
aye, and tbe dengerons service tbat wo -man
renders every nation is tar greater
than the occasional facing of a Maxim
gun or lbe remote contingency of burst
