NEW GAS PLANT WORKING It Is Used tor Both LigKtinu rind Culinary Purposes. The new gas plant for lighting and heating pui'KM S is now in opcrut ini: nt tho hotels, Josephine and Wi stern, and nt the residence of W. II. Hamil ton. At tho Josephine, the gas is al so used for cooking and is far m,rior for all culinary purposes to the old method. The plant w ill probably be extended anil connected with other bnildiugs iu the near future. The gas is produced from trasoline which is stored iu tanls iinte rut nth tho ground. It is supplied automat ically to the pip's anil the sy-li in is self regulating. The t.as hums w Ml: all intense hint but with vi ry little light. It produces a dim, I lue flame.

The Orgoii Kim I'rts.f Paint Co RESERVE WAS DISCUSSED Bo&rd of Trej.de Meets Govern ment Atlorvt Frtd&y Evening A"uieeting of tho board of trade and citizen was held iu tho city hall Fri day evening to talk over the forest re servo matter with It. D. Langell, of tho U.S. iluroan of Forestry, who bad arrived here to examine tho lands in eluded within the proposed reserve. Mr. Langell wns accompanied also by Mr. Cox, who has charge of tho field work. Mr. Langell very kindly con sented su delay his departure from town iu order to meet the citizens and hoar what they had to sav on tho sub- ject. Tho mooting was called to order by Presidetit K. Thomas who stated its object and introduced Mr. Langell that ho might explain tho object of tho reserve and its effects on tho sev eral lines of industry. Mr.. Langell said that ho had come to listen rather than to talk. Ho realized that it was a matter in which thu people were intensely interested hut thought that much of the objection might bo tho result of misunderstand ing. There aro two reasons for the creation of reserves; ono for conserva tion of tho water supply and tho other to protect the growing timber. There" had been a great rush for timber laud on this coast and thcro is Tcry little good timber land left. It is tiuio, therefore, for Undo Sain to take up a few ranches for himself. Whero forest reserves linvo been created, it has been demonstrated to tho pooplo nniK to lumbermen as well that tho jHilicy is wise. Tho creation In no way anccts tho locution and operation of mines. Tho timber may bo used on the claims mid patent to tho property may bo so cured. Tho prospector has free use of the timber. Tho milling companies aro exiK'cted to buy their timber land. When they wish to do so, they give 110 lays notice, tho land is appraised mid the salo advertised. The land Is then sold to tho highest bidder. There is no graft in the reserve proposition but tho forest n movement all over the country is a grand forward step. This reserve was proiwised ill lH'.IS but wns pigeon-holed by Commissioner Her mann. Ill answer to quest ions by Mr. Hough, Mr. Langell stated that settlers with in tho restive might either retain their holdings or exchange for other lands or for scrip. In regard to the lanilsof the Southern i'acilic company, ho was unable to state positively, but thought tho lands would bo exchanged. Mr. Hough said that tho etlcct of this would bo to withdraw tin sit lands from taxation. Tho county is some fSO.OOO in debt. If these lauds are withdrawn from taxation, bankruptcy will ensue. The outlook for Curry county Is even worse. At present this county is doing u big lumber business with a number of little saw mills and that the elfect of the reserve, would Is.' to kill this industry. Tho reserve is a ruinous proHisit ion and would stop emigration and progress generally. Judged. O. Booth siipsirtetl the re marks of Mr. Hough. lie was con vinced that the reserve would retard progress. H. L. Coo spoke of tho rapid growth of the timber in this country anil how tlie younger growth where the mature tiiiibt r had been cut otf sewed tho ob ject of (be reserve better than tho old growth which was constantly dying and making fuel for tlestrucl ive fires. A. 10. Carlson, shaking for the minor:-, saitl their opposition to the move ment is marly unanimous. II. I'. Kinm y saitl that to th ilri.y the lumber industry would bo to smother all lines of business. The young growth was amply sullicii nt for all tho purposes of the ri serve nod that nint h of the ara untl r consider ation was jitaccssible ; n servt d by nature- and further reservation not Heeded. lirii f spcci'ln s to similar ellcct were niade by J. II. William", Jos. jilt Most, and ot hers. Nearly ev. ry one took part in Ih" di.-cussiou and the adverse opinions were expressed without re . rve. It was stated that we have a hard . noiigh time to gel along as it Is ; rtj-tt Ciicle Sam, if he interfere., at. all, ihouhl give us a lilt rutin r II an to pile aiblitionril burdens upon us. Mr I.atig' 11 from time to time interposed quest ions and suggest iou;i from the govel llllii nt 's point of view. The tin . ting was long and at the t lose, on motion of F, W. t'liaiih.,.-, a vote ot thanks was extended to Mr. I.angell for his kiii.lni-rrt iu meeting with tbt citi.' lis and listening to tie ir stale incuts.

INDIAN WAR CLAIM PAID Auditor Approves Ba.ck Pay Claim of Veteran. Tho Auditor for the War Department has approved tho first claim for back pay filed by a veteran of the early Indian wars of the Northwest, and directed that Lewis Lawley, of The Dalles, w ho served as a private in the Second Washington Territory Mounted Volunteers, be paid 134, for services rendered from March 1" to September 1, I Salt. This amount will bo paid out of tho first appropriation made at tho next session of Congress. Tho Law ley case is oue that was urged for many months by ex-Repre seutative Moody, and tjje adjustment stublishcs tho precedent for the granting of back pay to all survivors of tho early Indian wars, who cau prove service by rolls that are now on file in tho department. The depart meut finds, that there are several rolls in Oregon, which were prepared by captains us souvenirs and for other purposes. Persons whoso names are on these rolls cannot bo paid until the original rolls aro filed with the auditor in Washington. Tho action ou the Law ley case makes the claimant a qualified appli cant for pension. Lnwlcy filed ap plication for pension somo mouths ago, and his claim was disallowod because ho could not show pay. Now that his pay has been authorized, and his services are recognized by the government, his pension cla'm will go through. This decision is of great importance in that it establishes away by which Indian War veterans cannot only recover back pay wheu they failed to draw allowances heretofore, but also places thoiu on a jMuslouable status. A great many veterans aro unable to provo satisfactory service, and whero that proof is not obtainable, reconl of pay by tho United States is necessary. Theroforo tho importance to many 'of securing back pay. Once this is- obtained, practically the essential ovitleuco is at band.

J. Wimer) The voters of the first congressional district may not have counted on the fact that iu the. person of lion. Dinger Hermann they have elected to repre sent them one year In the natloual halls of congress, none other than a firm believer In the free ana nullmlt- ed coinage of silver. On May 28th, Mr. Hermann in speech delivered at the opera house In Orants Pass, severely arraigned the domes-ratio party for changlug it views on the silver question, and for oeaslng to pat It forward as one of its main issues. He fuuud no fault with them for having advocated it but thought their alsunloninK it was sufficient reason why a democrat should not receive the votes of the majority, lie said most emphatically "If it is bad now, it was bad then. " If free el lvur was " good then it is good now." On August 2ilth, 1HU3 In the halls of congress. Mr. Hermann delivered a speech from which I extract the following. He said among other things : I believe sir, that blmntalisin iu this country is our bust financial policy. I am a bimetallst because it favors tho American product. " It affords a lucrative industry In 12 states of this union and gives employ ment to 100,000 people and indirectly to a greater number; I believe that two standards are bettor than one, for the scripture teaches us ' if they fall the one will lift up bis fellow ; but woe to him when he is aloue when ho falleth, for he bath not another to help him up. ' " Again he says: "No wonder lor Ign countries regarded with suspicion a country acting In this manner (re ferring to the United Htatcs trying to rlnuiniiotize its owu sliver product) toward a metal which she produced more than any other country iu the world. " "How long would the credit of ao individual last who should stand upon the house top and belittle his owu resources? "Put" says Mr. Hormauu in this speech, "whatever others may do, let the west provo loyal to silver." I offer as an apology to Mr. Her mann, for ceasing to clamor with hi in for free silver, the Increased mining of gold, the output of gold now quite equaling that of both gold aud silver 10 year ago. Khould the output of gold fall away materially, I will join Mr. Hermann for free silver. Col. Dratier, of the Oregon A Pacific Itailroad was in town a few hour Wednesday.
