The Hcppner Gazette Established Mareh M, 188. ISSUED THURSDAY MORNING. Fred Waraock Entered at th Postoffiae at Beppner Orf on, a econd-clMi matter. Thubsdat.... February 14, 1907. THE FOREST USRV POLICY. The meet'ng oe stockmen called by Foreu Superintendent Sheller to be I e' i iu thi-j ci.v on Tues day, Febraary 19, should be well Attended, It is uot only a matter of vital important to the Btock men, but ibe questions involved are ol importanca to every citizen. The creatioa of forest reserves find the rules governing the nses and benefits to be derived from these vrooded tracls have been tbe cuae of roach comment. The opinions expressed in the maiu have been bootil j to the system .urjued by the Lovern merit. One of the greatest objections oilered in the statement that the withdrawal of largo tracts will retarJ the devel cpaiou'. of the country by keep in out settlers. Such state ments whe.i looked upon without investigation seem plausible, but cannot bi successfully borun out by actual facts. Tiiti condition- here at home will serve t.s a good illustration. Uow much agricul tural land can ha found within the limits tf tie Hcppner forest re serve? It is a well known fact hfit all agricultural claims have been filed upon lon ago. If the withdrawal of the Heppner re serve is keeping out tsettlers what kept them out of the same tract so long before the withdrawal was thought of? The preservation of the forest along with the, preserva tion of the water oupply will be a help to keep and bring tbe home builder rather than drive hnn away whicn is the main intent of the government. The history of older countries of the reeults of the denu la'ion of the forests have been valuable object Jessons to the experts in chtrge of the forestry department of our own govern ment. As to the rane regulations, the Gazette believes that the stock in dustry in general will ultimate) be benefitted iu many ways. In fact, ihe time hs arrived when it is necessary to take some action lor not oniy tha perpetuation but for the juit distrihucion of rang privilege;!. While the regulation.1 are likely to, on J probably will work a hardship ou a few indi vidaals, th3 benefit oE theindustry in t,enerd is the desirtd result. A common comp'aint is from the fact that stockmen who have no previously used the range in the limits of the reserve as well at new men will be barred. No policy can bi estabMrhed withou fixed rule and in tLese rules cer tain restrictions must be embodied. These necessary restrictions ailcc individuals for the reason that al that is eked for cannot be given Somebody must bo barred. Tlu man who was there first has tin priority right, fc'oine one mts go. The government justly sap that it must bi the new man in re epecting priority right. It hut been said that restriction of new etockmen will retard tho develop merit of the stock industry. It i certainly poor judgment to think that the stock industry can be dp veloped by overcrowding tht ranges. Instead of making trouble th object b to avoid it. The wint r h i b ei a hard out ft'.l over ihe touu.ry. The facl tLt-t Morro county haj bed ul htuck. Itei'i It-Ils s'.iong fetorj in faor or hij e-iilry as a stock ju-jducoi.

The prospects f.r the ureat tock indoBtry are exceptionally b. igkt, especially with the sheep men. Sheep have wintered well and that wool will be a high price there is no question, with an exception ally strong demand at high prices for sheep. The dealer who sold the gun to Editor McManus in Pendleton, deserves censure at leant. Mc Manus who was in a crazed condi tion tried to buy a revolver at one Store but was refused by the pro prietor who knew that a revolver in tbe hands of a man in McMan us' condition Whs a dangerous in strument. Iu athletic gnmes of any port, especially where there is h partial umpire or teferee, there is very apt to be more or less junlin. When Captain Bwbee argued with the reiVroti Tue-nlay night he had a per!ecw riht ho to do. There was no particular person fouling, whici 6hojI(l cause a plaer to be put out of the gnrne and the odIv exc ish for the lone team leav ing; the fihl was that one of them was told by a Heppner player to quit hanging nto him or that he (Heppner man) would "swat"' him one, which should have been taken for wlut it was worth in the ex citement of a game.

It woukl to bard for parson living la any other city In tbe world to con ceive Just what an lndlapauaabW ani mal the camel la to the prosperity and welfare of Aden and tbe adjacent part of Arabia. Even In tbe ordinary work done by a borse In any other place or country the camel la always u.ned here In fact, except for drawing car. rlage, It completely takes the place of tbe horse. Tbe camel la used for haul ing produce In carta, for carrying freight and other articles and for draw ing the sprinkling and water carta. It makes a comfortable riding animal, and at a feast its flesh, of all meats, Is considered tbe beat Bat It Is as a means of transportation and as a beast of burden In passing to and from tbe interior of Arabia to Aden that It be comes Indispensable, and It Is alto gether probable that without It Aden would have never become thw great dis tributing point it norw Is. Articles shipped from here to points across the gulf of Aden are also transported by camels into the interior ef the African continent. The amount of the bucden varies ac cording to the distance to be carried and to the size of the animal. In car rying goods to ami from the wharfs to the different warehouses a few mile n camel will carry a load of from GOO to 900 pounds, but for a long journey from one-third to one-half of this amount is considered a camel load. United States Consular Report MAGIC IN TIBET. Feats ot the Wonder Workers of tb Land of Myatery. India and neighboring coAintrics are the home of mystery and the black arts. Even In the centers of civiliza tion there aro fortune tellers and won der workers to whom supernatural powers are attributed by those who scorn superstitious belief. Bays a writ er: "Tibetan peddlers hare alllrmed over and over again that, living In the mountains near the city of Lassa, there are men possessing extraordinary pow ers, distinct from and far higher than the ordinary lamas. "These mon cure the sick by jrfvlng them rice to eat which they crush out of the paddy with their hands. They perform many other remarkable feats. We are told that a young; Bengali in 1SS2 testified before a number of re spectable witnesses that while travel ing in Tibet, in the neighborhood of the lake of Manasarawara. he met one of these men accompanied by a num ber of chelaa, or pupils. The master saluted him and, finding; that he bad nothing to eat, gave him some ground grain and tea. "As the Eongall had r.o menns of ob taining fire the master railed for some fuel and kindled It by simply blowing on It with hl3 rio"th. He also cured a shepherd who was brought to him suffering from rheumatic fever, then and there, by 'lvinf; hlra a few grains of rice crushed out of the paddy which, he had In his hand." tlorw Sponges Arc Prepared.'' Spouts arc prepared for export ia the following :::anuer: After ' being bought In the local market they re carted to Uie shipping yard of the pur chaser, where they are cut and trimmed uto proper shapes and sizes. They are then washed and thoroughly dried, be ing Kenerally spread In the tun for that purpose upon canvas or old sails. Next tLcy are assorted according to varie ties and then packed by means of hand presses Into bales weighing from 20 to 150 pounds. Sometimes tho sponges are bleached by being passed through a Bolutlon of white lime and water so weak as not to injure the fiber of the sponge. Better J-rtjck Than He Thought. A young man who had received the privilege of shooting over tbe land of a farmer got rather close once or twice to tho home and the ground adjacent to It Later In the day, the Country Gentleman says, ho met the farmer. "You've had pretty good luck," said the farmer. "Well, no," said the young man hesi tatingly. "I haven't had any luck at all." "Yes, you have," repeated the farmer. "This morning you just missed my best She ou.rn." Carefully Guarded Ten. The tea used In tho Chinese royal j bou -th-ld Is treated with the utmost ', care.
