If this could be established there is no wan ant In law nor authority for the creation of the reserves. Always in the past in creating forest reserves, the proclamation baa set forth distinctly tho exact boundaries of the proposed reserves by metes and bounds. In the proc lamations now I cing printed the boundaries are referred to simply "us shown in the accompanying diagram." Then accompanying the proclamations is a diagram.

The subject of tho next meeting will be "Cherries" ami this will no doubt be very interesting, as it is hard to gt away frm the subject at each meeting, but the next meet ing will be given up entirely to tho subject.

To Be or Not to Be" Tho baseball season is at hand, but Cottage Grove so fur does not Heem diaposed to become celebrated through that channel. AH around ua we read of the live, rustling towna, having burned or forming a club and each one is going around with a chip on its shoulders labeled the "champion club of Southern Oregon." Cottage Grove could lay claim to this title once upon a time and could do it again, but v up pear to lie ,oo busy, while whittling fence rails and dry goods boxes, growling aliout how dull it is since we became dry, to put forth energy enough to get np a club. There are plenty of pla.yeia here, and good ones too, and we have many enthusiasts, but noue seem to en thuso enough to take the lead in this matter. A good base ball team gives life to a community as does a brass band and ho does an O. N. (J. company, it also brings money to the town iu various ways which perhaps could not be designated. By all means let us shake oil' our lethargy, and mako tho name of Cottage Grove boom from north to south and east and west of the state of Oregon, as a live, go-ahead bustling city for busiuoss or any thing else.

Absent Mindedness. Two young men, whose nam?s we withhold, one from Eugene and one from Cottage Grove, were of the same mind to attend the dance at Creswell last Saturday evening. They each hired a team in their re spective towns and hied them to the ball, where it is presumed they had a good time. When they got rendy to return home th livery man at Creswell got out their rigs and snugly tucked the rugs around them and they started towards their homes. After going some miles the young man from Eugene be came wise to the fact that either his team had shed their coat while standing iu the stable, or had been transformed in some remarkable way, but on close examination came to the conclusion that he was driv ing away with some one's else rig. He immediately put back to Cres well aud learning that the other rig was well on its way to Cottage Grove mado all haste to overtake it. This he succeeded in doing just a shott distance from towu. Expla nations followed and tho exchange made and each one swore secrecy to each other, but somehow the story leaked out and they have to endure many jokes levied at them. Some say that the drivers attention was bo entirely taken up holding their companions from falling out of the buggy that they really did not know whether the buggy was being pulled by a horse or un elephant, and cared less. Under these oir- cumbtances the young men are ex cusable, for most of us have beeu there ourselves aud know bow bliud we are at suob times. Forming Interests of this Community. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, SAWMILLS MAY CLOSE DOWN Many Rumors Arc Floating Around to that Effect. Millions of Feet of Lumber Waiting to be Removed to Market but Cars Cannot be Secured-Logging Camps Wfll Probably Follow Suit. Rutflors are plentiful that mnny of the nawmilis in this hcetion are to be nhut down in the near future, in consequence of the inability of the railroads to furnish cars lor the transportation of the lumber o the markets. If this u done, it will probably be followed in a tdiort time by the shutting down of the logging camps, thus thiowing hun dreds out of employment, and causing a stagnation in all linos of business. This state of affairs cer tainly presents a most extraordinary spectacle; one that has never been witnessed before in this or any oth er country. In tho most prosper ous times ever kuowu in the his- 'tory ot the country; when work is plentiful and labor scarce, we are threatened in 0119 way to face the result of a panic. Hard timea and panics have here jtofore been the result of overpro duction and lack of confidence. At this time, however, we are facing just the reverse, the demand is greater than the supply, or is made that way by the inability to get the product lrom the producer to the consumer. Although we more particularly allude to our lumber industry, the same stale of ofTuirs in everything else seems to exist more or lesa, from tUe Atlantic to the Pacific. The cry for cirs is continually beiug made to the rail road companies which they cannot furnish, because they simply have not got them, if the officials are to believed. We are informed that tho mill in Cottage Grove alone, could shut down, aud yet load ten cars of lumber a day for three weeks, and have a market for every foot. Other mills in the vicinity can do the same according to their capaci ty. The market everywhere is good and is not confined to the United States. Unlike the panicky times of '93, however, the laboring :mxn will not feel its effects first, if ,it all, as the demand for labor in the various branches of industry is far greater than the supply, and they will turn their hands to other lines. The mill owners and the log coniractors are the losers, even if they are only compelled to shut down for a short time, and leaving out of the con sideration, the fact, that while shut down the plant is earning nothing, the crew is scattered and g ne, and a new one has to be secured, bo that perhaps the mill and camp can be only run it half its capacity for somo time. What will be the ultimate out come of this car difficulty it is hard to conjecture. Probably the peo ple are as much to blame as the railroads, as cases are not rare whoro cars have beeu received and not unloaded for days, or uutil the agent gets after them with a sharp stick. Then the railroad compa nie may also be guilty of what tbey are accused. They may dis criminate in some cases, and iu many other ways not do as well us they might, but from what has leaked out as coming from officials, and from what can bo lead in all the leading papers in the country, 1 the1 great trouble is that they have-1 not got the curs.

Tho law passed by the la.t legis lature with reference to sheep in spection and requiring them to be dipped under the supervision of the board of sheep commissioners is to be strictly enforced this year. There has been more or less scabies among the sheep in Oregon, and the st tin has lost much money and much creuit ior tack 01 legal au thority to stamp it out. Dr. J. Christi", the d -pr.ty state sheep inspec tor for this county will have a lare portaUo tank or dip ping tunk constructed and will go fiom place to place ovr the coun try dipping fbeep. The law makes it obligatory on c-vry idieep grow er to have them dipped, and tbey are required to dip with solutions prepared according to formulas pre paied by the general government. The law says: "The board will refuse to rerog nize any sheep not dipped under the supervision of the government or state inspector or his deputies and in accordance wi'h the rules and regulations of this boaid. Mix. j work can be supplied by the or ing of all dip must be supervised by j gani.ation of coast artiflery com pa -the federal or state sheep inspector j nies in the various states of the or his deputy." Union, which organizatio s, duriDg The portable vat will be hauled j tbe time otlie than when they are from place to place for the conven- i;nce of owners of sheep. Those who have Bmall bands may drive them to some central place in a lo cality where a good butch can be dipped and thus lessen the expense greatly, as the cost is paid by the owners. After the dipping a cer tificate of health will be issued to the owner of the sheep and the law provides for quarantining any band not so dipped. Work will com mence just after sheaiing has been done. Along the 0. & S. E. Railroad. Although thcro are many goi -natured jokes made at the expense of the Oregon & S mth Eastern railroad, a trip from one end t ; the other should couvince the most skeptical that the road was not built lor a summer jaunt. It is there for business aud we would wager that not a joker or anyone else living along its roilfe, would have it abandoned if they could prevent it. The roa 1 bed itself is excellent and equal to ninny and surpasses seme of tho more preten tious roads in the e.ist. It is well ballasted ard is smooth riding. Certainly the passenger cars are not Pullman or refliniug chair af fairs, but one can make himself very comfortable nevertheless, and they probabiy have seen the day when they were considered rtylish. The route of the Oregou & South Eastern was built for business. Its principle object to bring out the logs from the timber belts and the finished products of the numerous mills uow located along its lines. It probably also is headed for tho rich mining country of the Bohemia section, but at present is only about half way from Cottage Grove. Its course roiiows trie now river and runs through a number of beautiful and productive ranches for eight or ten miles, after which the valley closes in and the train winds its way through rocks and magnificent timber until it reaches Disaton, the present terminus and where a large mill is located. The scenery is really delightful along the route, not so wild and pictur esque as through the Siskiyous but well worth taking the trip to see. We are sorry wo chose a wrong day to make the trip, as the train time did not allow us opportunity than more to see the different places as wo passed through. We extend our thanks however to Superintend ent Protzman and other officials for the courtesy extended us and will certainly tima o r-Vlv e1 k the future wheu wc again vi.t wa, section. NO. 14 0. N. 0. TO HAVE AN OUTING Will Probably Be Held From July I, to 12. The Camp of Instruction to be Held at the Coast Defense Forts, ar Experi ment by the War Department Sug gested by Ex-Secretary Root. The camp of instruction of the infantry regiments of the National Guard will be held this year at the coast defense forts. It is the in tention to hold this camp between the 1st and 15th of July for a per iod o ten days. The exact dates will probably be from July 'A, to 12, inclusive. This plan was originally suggest ed by Secretary Root when he was secretary of war. The object of this amp is to determine whether or not the present deficiency in the ; number of men for coast defense i sti'ioned m the forts for instruc- tion, will be maintained and used as infantry organizations. The work this year will be in the na ture ot an experiment of the war department to determrne, if possi ble, the feasibility of the plan. The order f 10 en the war department cov ering this tour of duty prescribes that officers of the militia shnll be assigned to duty with officers of like grade in the coast artillery or ganizations.
