D. W.' Bheahan, Wallowa county's
andldaU for circuit judge, received
naity aswjran?s of strong support in
Uriiou county while he was ont there
attending to legal busineM recently.
Mr. Kheahan Is well acquainted In I
Union, especially at Cove aud Union,
tie bavfng studied law at tbe latter
place. '
T. F. Lathrope of Leap has resided
In Wallowa county, for 27 years and lie
surely ought to know, the county If
anyone does. That Is an Invaluable
. requisite In an assessor, for which office
"Tom" aspires via the Republican
rout. lie. baa followed the occupa
tions of saw mill man and bridge
builder and consequently knows and Is
known by nearly everybody. He Is
a square man personally and his many
friends declare he would do the square
thing If elected assessor.
Claude Boatman when asked the
other day the chestnut inquiry "iiow're
your running?", replied be was too
busy to think of 11. And that is just
bout right, and is one reason be is so
popular with everybody. - He goes
along, tending to business, and wait
ing on people at tbe clerk's office with
out ever an effort to boost bis candi
dacy. , '.
Judge Ramsey's platform should
be read by every voter. There la every
rrasoit for a judicial candidate to state
fairly and plainly bis stand on matters
of grave public concern connected with
tbe office to which be aspires. One of
the just critlolsma leveled at courts
today is delay, costly to litigants and
to taxpayers alike, and too often re
sulting In a miscarriage of justice.

In addition to the names of the

British Columbia Places Its Forest
Uads In Reserves.
Washington, Feb. 17 At one stroke
of the Lieutenant Goveruor's pen,
150,000,000 acres of forest land In
British Columbia have been placed in
reserves. This includes every acre of
the province's timberlands, except
what lias been leased. This is as much
land as was put in the National
Forests of this country between the
years IK91 ami 1907.
Tbe action wan taken to check waste
ful exploitation of timber resources and
to bring the care uud cutting of
timber more effectually under govern
ment control. '
The province has been leasing llm
berland instead of selling it. Tile
most of the leasing has been' done tbe
past three or four years, aud Americans
bold the largest part ot tbe 10,000
leases now in force. The lease is, hi
its effect, a long-term option at low
rate. It runs 21 years and, may. k
renewed at the end of the first term.
The lessee pays 25 cents a year until
he is ready to cut the timber, wheit he
pays a royalty of 60 cents per 1000 feet,
board measure, for the timber re
moved. 1 The income of tbe province
from leases was about $1,275,000 last
year.
