Valley Behind Move. Salem Old veterans who will at tend the 50th anniversary celebration at Gettysburg in July from Oregon are advised in a bulletin issued by Ad jutant General Finzer, through Gover nor West, to consult their family phy sician before deciding to tak»> the long trip in the hottest time of the year. Rules and regulations have been issued relative to the expenditure of the state appropriation providing for paying the expenses of survivors of the battle back to attend the annivers ary. These are signed by James P. Shaw of department headquarters, and Colonel Lewis C. Garrigus, Confeder ate veteran, and commissioners. The camp will be open for the re ception of visitors June 29, ami will close July 6. No one not a veteran of the Civil war will tie given food or shelter within the camp. Those not provided with proper credentials will be barred from the camp. The camp will be at the High Water Mark mon ument on the battlefield, complete in all its equipment of tents, cots, blank ets, etc., but each veteran must pro vide his own towel, soap and toilet ar ticles. The “mess kit" provided by the government will become the prop erty of the veteran upon breaking camp. No trunks will be allowed in the baggage. Medford —As an auxiliary to the ir rigation movement plans were formu lated Saturday at a joint meeting of members of the commercial club and the Merchants' association to secure a canning factory in the valley. The merchants of the city will be asked to subscribe- $2000 and the fruit growers will furnifth $5000. A com mittee, consisting of John H. Carkin, W. F. Isaacs, George T. Collins, P. S. Steenstrup and E. A. Welch was named, to solicit subscriptions from the merchants and active work has been started. It is expected that the $2000 will be readily secured. As soon as this money is obtained a mass meeting of ranchers will be called, the outline of the proposed cannery presented and the $2000 will be loaned without interest to the pro posed association. The cannery will be similar to the one now operating at Puyallup, Wash. Ranchers may subscribe for stock at $10 a share to any amoupt, but each subscriber will have but one vote. The profits of the association aliove operating expenses will be divided among the growers. A large board of directors and a small executive board will be named, and if the cannery is built a practical man from Puyallup will be secured to take active charge. Washington, D. C. A scathing in dictment of ths preaent-day manage ment of the Forest service in con tained in a memorandum til id with the secretary of agriculture by Daniel W. Adams, who, after five years as expert lumberman in the forestry bureau, voluntarily retires to engage in pri vate business. Impracticability, bail business management, improvidence and an exOMa of bureaucratic methoils are the general charges he makes. Mr, Adams gives names, cites in stances and refers to records to sub stantiate his charges. Though less sensational than the charges often made by the late Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, the charges of Mr. Adams are convincing, because they are made by a competent man who spent five years in the service. Dealing with the timber question, he says that the head of the timber di vision is one of the most experienced and best-informed lumbermen in the country, but his suggestions are large ly disregarded by students in the serv ice and acute disagreements ensue whenever the government undertakes to sell its timber to private lumber- men. He charges that the "personnel of the forest service is composed of so many theorists and highly-trained young men who have injecte! such senseless and impossible regulations that the sawmill men purchase timber only when their privately owned tim ber is exhausted." As these young men conduct the field work, Mr. Adams alleges, it often costs the for est service three times as much as the stumpage is worth to designate the trees which the purchaser may cut. In one intsunce the forest service got $1 a thousand for a lot of timber, and it coat the government $7 a thousand to mark the timber, prior to cutting. There is a provision of law under which the government gives away tim ber for domestic use to persona living near the national forests. It the Deer Lodge forest in 1912 Mr. Adams shows that it cost the government $9 a thousand feet to give away timber, because of the impracticability of for est ranges.
