You go back to the parlor in a

you try to remember where yon

Now, it is the table that snaps

fidgets you, and you take an easy

the actual amount ol lumber stand

not possible with the existing
knowledge of the country. The
principal lumber industry is con
fined to the redwood belt, on the
line of the Central Pacific railroad,

red fir, tide-water spruce, red ce
dar, hemlock, Port Grford cedar,
white oak, sugar pine, chestnut,
oak, larch and scrub pine. The
principal lumber industry centers
near Portland, Astoria, and Empire
City. The product of the coast
region for the census year was 151,
443,000 feet of lumber, 17,050,000
laths and 2,745,000 shingles. The
product of the state east of the
Cascade range was -'SjTflRjOOO feet
j of lumber, 205,000 laths and 2,205,-
; 000 shin&las.
"Washington Territory is cov-
er?d west of the Cnspiule mou
i tains, by the heaviest belt of for-
i est growth in the United States.
The most valuable trees of this re
gion are yellow fir (covr-iing about
seven-tenths of the forest growth),
red cedar, hemlock and tide-water
spruce. h.ast 01 the "ascaue

region is confined to Puget Sound,
The product of this legion for the
census year was 14.4,387,000 feet
of lumber, 0,550,000 laths, 710,000
shingles, and 2,3GG,000 staves.
The product of the coast, outside
of Puget Sound region, was 0,599,

1 monopolize these lands by a swamp
land 1 ing, to now proceed in just
i such a manner as to enable the
J ring to perfect their grab without
'even complying with the very lax
I restrictions of the law of 1SJ2
jaml that too, by defrauding the
stale out of the use of the money
for tliPM lands for ten ycrrs
more.
Under the act of IS70, appli-
i cants had ten years from the time
of filing, in which to make pi oof
of reclamation and to pay eight
per cent ol the purchase price.
Twelve years nearly, have passed
since this law became effective,
and the greater portion of the fil
ings were made under that act of
1S70 before the ink had dried after
the governor had signed the bill,
and now it is proposed to extend
that time ten years longer with
the reclamation clause stricken
out. We caie nothing for the re
clamation clause, but we object in
giving leu "years more in which to
make, payment, as is clearly the
intention of the latter clause of
section 1, of the bill under consid
eration, and for all sections here
after listed, the time of payment
shall be made within ten years after
the. lands are approved to the state.
If this bill becomes a law it gives
these swamp land grabbets twenty
two years from the time of their
first filings, in which to make pay
ment to the state for the lands
claimed by their "wild cat" filings,
while the slate warrants drawn
against that fund will be drawing
interest.
We lianlrPlliinK it the purpose
of this legislature to commit such
a mistake as this would be; the
act of 1870 was a job in the inter
est of a ring, and now, that ring
plans a greater fraud upon the
state of Oregon. Salem Stairs

A Sad Affair.
While nut hunting cue da3 last
week in company with another bo3',
saj-s the Jacksonville Times, a
fourteen year old son of Judge
Baldwin met with an accident that
resulted fatal- last Sunday night.
The3 had built a camp fire, and
while the other boy was out hunt
ing, young Baldwin fell in the fire
during a fit and was most horribly
burnt, and was still .lying in the
fire when found by the other bo3.
The boy's father is at work on the
railroad, but on account of the
interruption on the telegraph line
he could not be reached in time
even for the funeral.
The Democratic nominee for
lieutenant-governor of California
annouces it as his creed that "the
right to sell lager beer on Sunday
should be as free as the ringing of
the church bells."
'There's no mistake that it is a
grand remedy for rheumatism,"
said Mr. -Mackenzie Davis, of 1903
Brand'wine street, Philadelphia,
Pa. "I suffered horribly for three
years with inflammatory rheuma
tism, and St. Jacobs Oil alowe
cured me, after everything else
had utterly failed." It's the way
