REAMES IN GRANTS PASS
Speaks ct Court House Saturday
to Fexir Sized Audience.
Hon. A. E. Reamcs, flip democrat ic
nominee for conrgessman, spoke at the
court house on Saturday evenng. Tho
house, which is oapablo of accommo
dating only a small crowd, was filled
to its full capacity. Mr. Kennies is
always an interesting and forcible
speaker and his remarks commanded
attention throughout his speech. Ho
was neatly introduced by Hon. R. O.
Smith and devoted the first tw
minutes of his speech to a discussion
of tho tariff, endeavoring to show
that present tariff conditions iutcr
ered with the Oriental trade 011 the
Pacific const. The remainder of the
speech was devoted to his opponent,
Binger Hermann, in the vein of good
hnmored sarcasm which ho so well
knows how to employ.
DISPATCHER NOT GUILTY
So Declares the Ashland Tribune
Ihinks Loeb wo.s the Man.
In commenting on our nrticlo iu last
week's issue concerning the episode of
the president's i h i t nnd how wo were
juggled out of our rights 011 that oc
casion, tho Ashland lribune has the
following to say ;
'Tho facts might well justify sus
picion that somebody bud sought to
prevent tho spocial stopping at Grants
Pass, where it was expected to take
on a helper, but there is au explana
tion which removes all ground for the
imputations made against the chief
dispatcher here. Dispatcher Morris
sent nn engine to Grants Pass to go
mt us helper nnd had thero been no
'hange iu his orders that engine would
have coupled on to tho president's
sgncial ut Grants Pass and of course
the people there would have had the
president with them several minutes.
Dispatcher Morris had absolutely
nothing to do with the change which
carried the engine out to Woodville,
to hitch to the president's train, oilier
than to obey orders from superior
authority. While we are not iu a
position to publish just who gave
the order, we have a prellv good idea
is to the reason for it nnd tho source
of it.
Medford was very importunate for
the train to stop there a few minutes
and it was considered if the train re
fused to atop there ill view of the im
portunities of the H'(iple, it might be
ground for olfetise if Grants Pass were
favored with a stop, esiHcially as it
would be ubout U o'clock at night
whi n the train would reach the latter
town. Heme the presidential party
probably decided, as they could not
stop at both places, it would be ad
visable not to stop ut either. The
Courier would probably liud that
Secretary Loch was the cause of the
Grunts Pass disappointment and that
it would not have happened likely, had
it not liecii for Medforil's desire to
have the train ulso if Mr. I, neb
would conibsceiid to explain. The
helper engine was sent out from
Grants Pass to Woodville in older that
the president's special might run
through Grants Puss without stopping,
as the Courier supposed, and it was
'lone at some inconvenience since it
hail been suit there fur the particular
purpose to hitch to the train. If
Secretary I b was trying to save the
feeling of Medford by deciding to
treat both towns alike, hu made u
mistake iu this case, since the usual
necessities of train management re
quired a stop at Grants Pass, hut hi
probably only looked to the fact that
neither Grants Pass nor Medford were
scheduled as stopping places and in
view of Medforil's urgent ieiucsis the
tr.iiu would not stop at one town w ith
011 1 olleiiiliiig the oilier.

A STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE
It Is feared that J. D. Mock has
Met with Foul Play.
J. D. Mock, father of A H.Mock
of this city, started on April S3 for
his home at Albin, Iowa, after spend
in some time iu Grants Pass with the
family of Ins sou. Since that time
h has not boeu heard from. He never
reached his destination and the gravest
fears are entertained as to his fate.
His baggage, which was checked
through at the time ho left horo,
reached Albin on April 9ll. His sou
is endeavoring to trace his ticket, bat
has not yet learned whether or not lie
passed Portland. He intended to go
east over the O. R. & N. Thero can
be little doubt that calamity of some
nature has overtaken liim and )is
relatives think that lie may either
have lost his mind or else lias met
with foul play. Ho was nu old man,
77 years of ago, and carried a consid
erable sum of money, so that the lat
ter explanation seems the most likely
one. hvery effort will bo made to
locate him or leuru his fate. A. II.
Mock has offered a reward of ."0 for
information that will lead to the dis
covery of his whereabouts.
TO STUDY TOREST FIRES
Government Will Send Out Men
lo Match Thi-m Burn.
Last year within two weeks, over
$12,000,000 worth of timber and other
property was destroyed by forest fires
in Oregon and Washington. This
enormous loss occurred upon A re
stricted area and represents only a very
small part of the annual loss from
this source Every timbered region
of the United Stata suffers year after
year from fire. The annual loss is
estimated at from IJn.OOO.OOO to
$.-,0,000,000. Forest llres have been
regarded as almost inevitable, and
few systematic attempts liavo been
made to prevent or control them ex
cept in the States of New York, Penn
sylvania, and Minnesota, which have
eilieient systems of fire protection.
The Bureau of Forestry lias this
year undertaken a thorough study of
the forest-lire problem in aovural
different regions. It has placed meu
in forest districts to study fires whllo
in tho process of burning. Instead
of waiting until the fires aro over and
relying for information ou local re
ports, as has been done heretofore,
the llres are now being observed by
the bureau's agents and full data will
be obtained as to how they were caus
ed, how fast they burn, what condi
tions favor or hinder them, and just
what damage they do to the soil and
to tree growth. Each agent of the
Bureau has been assigned to a district
mid is investigating all fires that oc
cur within his territory. For exam
ple, one man studies a lumber tract,
another a farming district, a third a
turpentine orchard, etc.
In conned ion with this detailed
study the agenis will observo the
methods of tire protection practiced
by railroads mid other owners of tim
ber lands. The fire warden systems
of the stales which have forest-fire
laws, and the patrol system in nse on
the Federal forest reserves will also
be observed dowdy.
By such methods the Bureau of
Forestry Iioh s to replaco with euro
fully gathered facts the vugue general
notions that now exist about forest
llres. When the problem is solved for
any particular region, the Bureau will
he ready to recommend methods of
lire prevent inn and control for the
private land owner,
foresi lire leislatiou
and 'to suggest
for the various
-talis.
The investigation Is now in pro
gross in northern Florida and southern
Alabama and Genrigu under the direc
tion of Finest A. Stirling. H. J.
Tompkins, with n small corps of as
sistants, has begun the work ill Mill
iiesfita, Wisconsin, nnd Michigan.
Later in the seusoii, a study of forest
rips will be made ou the Pacific
coast.

Temperance In th South.
So much noise is mado over tho
temperance question and the enforce
ment of anti-liquor laws la oar North
era states, that the general poblio has
boon able to hear and know bat little
about the progress of snob laws In the
South, where more actual advance
ment lias been mado In overcoming
the evils of the liquor traftlo by legis
lation than in any other part of the
anion. Local option bjr counties lias
been progressing all through tho
South for many years until the larger
parts of the states of Kentucky,
Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and
Louisiana have been brought practi
cally nuder prohibition. One may
travel entirely across some of these
states, it Is said, without passing
through single saloon district. Even
Texas, which, in years gone by, very
unjustly gained the reputation of be
lling loose and lawless, lias been al
most captured by the Prohibitionists.
Three-fourths of the state is now said
to be under the local option law, ex
cluding all liquor. To be more pre
cise, of the 2116 counties of the stute
101 are wholly dry, and of the re
mainder 74 are largely dry, very
many of them wholly dry save the
county seat, and only 68 are wholly
wet. And the counties that are either
wholly or largely dry reproseut total
IKjpulatlou of 3,218,030, while the wot
counties represent only 720,825. A
movement is now on foot in Texas to
pass a prohibitory law applicable to
the whole state, and on the basis of
the figures quoted, It looks as If the
thing would be done. It may thus
hnppeu that while Vermont jud New
Hampshire, ou our northern border,
have actually abaudoned prohibition,
the great commonwealth on the south
west will take it up, and, what is
more, will do likely to enforce it,
affording the rest of the country a
unique object lesson. Leslie's Week-
France's Drinking Habit.
To make up the deficit in its budget
the French govornmout is considering
the advisability of increasing taxa
tion on alcohol in its various forms,
but hesitates because of the opposi
tion from those who profit under the
existing arrangements, as well as
from the consumers. Anything that
would check the continued Increase in
the consumption of spirits would lie
a great boon to Franca Absinthe is
one of th" French jioisoiis that is sag
gested for taxation. It iys no sjwclal
tat now, but the alooliol in It is
taxed. The strongest atmintlio is five
times 'as potent as ordinary brandy,
while the average sold Is three times
as strong. It Is rarely used for tnudi
dual purposes, and no Interest would
be banned by Increasing taxation ou
it. But the government hesitates.
Great quantities of b Inllie are
used In France, and the use of it
is constantly increasing. It is
ruinous to health, and is said to be
the priucipal cause of the great mor
tality from consumption in the French
army. 1 lie reeling among tn users
of this and other such poisons against
Increasing taxation on them is so
great that the government seems to
fear doing anything to arouse their
united opirsiitintt.
The adulteration of French drinks
is another source of great complaint.
Cider brandy costs the honest dis
tiller nearly twice as much to make
as it can be bought for iu towns after
it has paid duty to the government
and tho local authorities. The country
people nearly all drink brandy in
their coffee. The towu of Caen, in
Normandy, formerly had 200 drinking
places, or one for every 2ii0 inhabl
tauts. Such places were mado free,
and there are uow 800 such establish
incuts Iu that plane, or one for every
70 inhabitants. This indicates the
benefit that could be derived from
pro.r taxutiuu. The consumption of
alcohol in that town has increased M
per cent annually, but the population
is decreasing, and so with the country
generally. Crime and thefts have
also greatly Increased, as shown by
statistics quoted by French news
pars.

RESERVE IN LAKE COUNTY
Inferior Department Still Exer
cising It Mania.
The Interior department lias decided
upon another forest reserve for Oregon,
this time in Southern Lake county,
in the Warner mountain country. By
direction of Secretary Hitchcock, the
vacant publio lauds in a tract of over
000,000 acres in Lake county, and U
townships adjoluing, ' in Northern
Cliforua,ha?e been temporarily with
drawn from all entry, with a view to
their examination to determine the
advisability of creating a forest re.
serve about the town of Lekeview.
The Oregon lands withdrawn are:
Townships 84 to 41 inclusive, ranges
18, 17 and 18; townships 37, 88 and 41,
range 10; townships 86 and 87, range
20; townshljis 86 to 41 Inclusive,
ranges 21 and 22, all south and east.
The township in which Lokoview Is
located, and the township immedi
ate", north, south and west 7, are
not luoluded In the withdrawal
A forest reserve in the Warner
mountain region is recommended by
the Geological Survey, not only for
the preservation of the timber, bat
the conservation of the water supply.
Ooose lake lies in the center of the
withdrawal, and a number of streams
which supplys sit with wator have
their headwaters within region.
Moreover the headwaters of Sprague
river, Druwa creek, Warner creek and
a number of other streams would all
be protected by a forest reserve in this
region.
In view of the development of ir
rigation enterprises In Lake county
aud in Northern California, the crea
tion of this forest reservo is consider
ed most essential. Tho lands with
drawn aro to be examlnod this sum
mer, and such tracts as are found un
suitable for reservation will ulti
mately bo restored to entry. The
remainder, beyond a quoation of
doubt, will be permanently reserved.
The creation of this reserve was
recommended by the Geological sur
vey, and a number of forestry officials
three years ago, but the recommen
dations woro ignored by Binger Her
mann, thou Land commissioner, aud
the case was smothered. It has just
been revived by Commissioner Rich
