Between two counties,

each? th riher hv fifteen hundred
or two thousand farms of from 160
to 500 acres each, it is almost a cer-

get them at an earlier date than the
latter. The certainty is almost as
great as that every acre of land in
the county of small farms will yield,
on an average, twice as much as an
acre in the county of large farms,
and will have a market value two
or three times as great.

It is a matter of history that the

If there could be a general move-
ment among American farmers for
the division of large holdings into
tmall ones, by selling tracts of from
one or two to forty acres, the gener-
al construction of good roads would
lollow almost as a matter ol course.
For a multitude of voices would
then demand such roads, where
now only one voice is lifted; and a
multitude ol purses could be tapped,
where now only a lew can be
assessed for work On roads.
In the inauguration of such a
movement, too, lies the true secret
of attracting population to many a
half populated state, and adding to
the value of its lands. The sub-
division of large holdings in Iowa
or in Southern and Central Minne-
sota, for instance the offer of five,
ten, twenty acre tracts on easy
terms to immigrants would do
more in this direction, by many
fold, than all endeavors to draw
them to the newer and more thinly
peopled sections. These have their
merits; but the older sections ofthe
states named could be made to ab
sorb several millions of additional
people with greater ease. Max

Throughout the Eastern states
once heavily timbered, there is a
feeling that something must be done
to preserve and foster the growing
trees. Too late they feel the loss
of what once was wasted recklessly.
The time will come some day when
the same conditions will face tbe
Northwest. We are not talking of
high prices or low prices now, but
of the desperate waste and the crim
inal carelessness which permits the
useless destruction of square miles

OR SUICIDE
BODY OF C. D. SNYDER FOUND
Bullet Hela In the Skull-Geld Watch,
Sleeve Buttona, L.tt.ra artel Pawn
Cheeka Faund an the Body.
Scarcely a doubt remains but
what Carey D. Snyder, whose flesh
less bones were found last Monday
morning in the brush near Cedar
Mills, was murdered. Everything
points in that direction. The skull
of the man whose checkered career
has been the theme ot common dis
cussion and columns of newspaper
space, now reposes on a shelf in the
office of Dr. A. B. Bailey in this
city, a grinning, horrible witness of
a crime most foul and sickning. A
bullet hole near the right ear and
up through the skull shows where
a 3S-calibre revolver got in its
deadly work, but whether it was
fired before or after Snyder's death,
is a question. Certain it is that the
dead man's skull has a long crack
in it, which must have been pro
duced by a severe blow on top ot
the head, as is shown by a discol
oration of tbe skull at that point,
and this is the opinion of the
Messrs. Drs. Bailey who have made
a close and careful examination' of
the gruesome find.
The finding of the bones dispels
the mystery of Snyder's disappear
ance the morning after the Forest
Grove bank robbery December 2nd
last, and it has been the belief of very
many people that he was implicated
in the robbery, though his wife de
clares positively that he was at home
all of that night. The skeleton was
discovered by Harry Hansen, who
was out hunting in the brush near
Cedar Mills, on the farm of John
Lehman. He foUfwe4 a gronse Into
the thicket and stumbled upon the
remains of a dead man and at once
hastened home and notified his
father, Nels Hansen, and Julius
Petersoni who notified Sheriff J. W.
Connell, and acting Coroner H. T.
Bagley went to where the body was
found and empanneled a jury. At
the inquest Young Hansen made the
following sworn statement, which
describes the finding ot the body:
I am a resident of Washington county,
Oregon and reside three miles weoi 01
Cedar Mills; that I am IS vears old, and
was bunting in the timber where said
body was found on the morning of Octo
ber 1, 1900, about 10 o'clock a. m., when
I came upon said body ling by some
loirs in the timber almost 15J t'eet south
of the Portland-Glencoe road and about
one mile west of the Union school house
near Cedar Mills; that after finding said
body I notified Julius Teterson and then
went home and told my father Nels
Hansen and nest saw the body when
viewed by the acting coroner and Dr. A.

same condition when visited the second

Sheriff J. W. Connell, was sworn
and gave the following testimony:
I atu sheriff of Washington county,
Oregon ; and have examined
the clothing and effects found by Harry
Hansen, near the Portland-Glencoe road,
w est of Cedar Mills ; that I was acquaint
ed with Carey D. Snyder, during his
life time; that he waa almost -3 year
old ; that I recognize the clothing, hat
and watch found with said body aa those
of said Carey D. Hnyder. That I have
examined the gun and papers found
with said body and from said investiga
tion suv that deceased waa Carey D.
Snyder.
The jury, after making an exam
ination of the remains, brought in
the following verdict:
Matter of inquest over the body of
Carey 1. Hnyder, deceased, we, tbe jury
in tbe above entitled cause, after in
specting the body of deceased, and the
effects found thereon and having heard
the testimony Introduced, find that the
body is that of Carey D. Snyder, that he
came to his death in tba timbers on the
farm of John ' Lehman, west of Cedar
Mills, Washington county, Oregon, by
a gun shot wound inflicted in a manner
to this jury unknown, but probably by
deceased with suicidal intent. That we
are unable to determine when death oc
curred, hut fix the date prior to March
1, 11100.

In the decayed pockets of the
dead man's clothes were lound five
cents in money, a bunch of pawn
tickets from a Portland pawn shop,
a letter from R. M. Snyder, a Kan
sas City banker and father of the
dead man, and a number of counter
checks from the store of C. S. Reyn
olds, a Mountaindale merchant who
had transacted business with the
deceased for several years. A new
aud valuable six-shooter, with five
barrels loaded, was found in a
pocket ol Snyder's pants, and his
gun was lying on a log near his
feet. Several teeth" iu ' the skull
were gold crowned, and two front
teeth were missing, thought one of
them was afterwards found mixed
up with the bones and rotten cloth
ing. Another find was reported by
A. L. Croeni, one of the jurors who
brought the remains to Hillsboro
on Tuesday, that of $ 1.65, which
slipped out of the clothing when the
skeleton was bein placed in a box
for transportation. A fine gold
watch, stopped at 8:20, was also

to the disposition to be made of the
remains. The skull will be kept as
