A patlietio story of suicide, marked
with ingrained liouosty, comes from
Hau Francisco. An old lady, evident
ly . furling that I here was nothing
more in ilfo for her, set about
systematically to end Iter existence
with a minimum of bother and trouble
to lier fellow creatures. At the
U'-enitttory she inquired the least cost
of cremating a body and set asidu that
amount of money. Hlie asphyxiated
herself with gas, for thu cost of
which sho left a dollar for Hie land
lady. Khe gave tho coroner a feo of
to remove lier body to a certain
undertaking establishment and left
also a few dollars to tlioso whose duly
it would be to carry the body. All
these amount l wern found scaled in
separate envelopes with directions as
to their use. Iu her evident elfort to
avoid causing trouble to others, the
case is very unusual among suicides.
Tho development of Hnuthwcstcrn

bringing tho practically undeveloped
resources of a vast region in touch
with tide water. That the count sec
tions and tho inland counties ol
Southeastern Oregon have becu so
long without railway connection with
the oulsido world, is panning strange
to those who have knowledge of the
resources that await development
iu Tillamook, Coos, Klamath, Crook
and Ike counties,. Lumber, IIkIi mill
coal abound iu tho coast counties,
whllo the stock, wool and dairy iu
terusts of all are practically limitless
wheu once railway communication
and the uutorpriso that follows It turn
the vast possibilities of these regions
into grow iug Industries. There is no
portiou of the United Stales yet unci
plotted by commerce that promises
more substantial returns to cntcrpriho

of Oregon. It may be hoped, indeed,
that tho commercial attention, long

Five special ix iit.il m agents are now

within the pant few weeks, and tin
agents think the whole batch of tM
ami over will be disposed of w ithiu
the next three mouths. The lHilicy of
the ls'lisioli bureau toward the Indian

most liberal of any pursued thus far.
Tho great ages of the applicants, now
averaging 7"i years, and the reunite

ONE FOURTH OF OREGON
Now Sacrificed lo the Forest Re'
Serve Mania
It is no exaggeration to say that
one-fourf h of the land arr-u of Oregon
has been segregated, by order of the
secretary of the interior, and is today
beyond tho reach of the settler und
the homes, eker. The foregoing fig
ures are .(longest testimony. There
.ire, iu effect, iu Oregon ut the present
time, ten distinct withdrawals made
for forestry purpnsi s, on recommen
dation of Hie bureau of forestry, un
der Gilford Piiichot. These with
drawals contain approximately P',4
full townships, or Hl,i'.'.('i,."ii'.o acres.
Add to this the . resent area of the
Cawade reserve, 4, "(, l.'O ai res, anil
the figures closely approach one-fourth
of the urea of the state. The slate's
area is III, 27, 110 ai res. Unfortunate
ly, the exact acreage of the forest re
serve reserve withdrawals are uol
definitely known, but the figure are
conservative. Uor all practical in
tents Mill purposes, if may he said
that one fourth of the area of tie
slate is either now included in a per
manent forest reserve, or is tempor
arily withdrawn from all settle
ments and disposal, pending investi
gations to determine what portion of
thu withdrawal bonis shall he eon
verted into peiinanent reserves.

TO OUR FINE DISPLAY
MINING MEN ORGANIZE
Oregon Stale Mining Associa
tion Formed.
The Oregon State Mining Asoocia
tion was oiganized on Monday iu
Portland, Chamber of Commerce
building, under the most favorable
auspices. Tho puriioses of the organ
ization are to afford the mining men
of Oregon an opportunity to consult
with each other and exchange views
on matters pertaining generally to
mining interests in this section. The
following named . gentlemen were
elected oftleers of the association:
.1. F. Wickham, of Galiee, Or.,
presidiut.
J. II. Fisk, of Portland, vice-president.
L. Kei.ur, of Iluker City, second
vice-president.
A. L. Morris, of Portland, secre
tary. J. Frank Watson, of Portland,
treasurer.
The organization of this association
has been talked about for some
months in Oregon mining circles
and so far has received the hearty
upjrovul of all mining men who have
been approached on the subject. It Is
generally conceded there is much to
be done iu thu matter cf legislation
iu the state of Oregon with regard to
the mining interests, and aside from
this there are many other phases of
the industry that will profit by con
sul'iition among representative min
ing men in the various districts,
which will be followed by co-oper-ative
action iu the lines decided up
on. ,

LETTER FROM MR, SAMS
Another Version of the Wilder
vllle Episode.
Editor Courier: .
I think It justice to myself, as well
as to the public, to call attention to
the statement made by J. II. Robnson
in your issue oi the 20th.
Your correspondent is correct in the
ttatemeut in Wilderville notes Iu
your issue of the 13th in regard to the
way laying of that road. The road in
qu 'Stou where the trouble took place
where it crosses Mr. Kohiusons laud,
is outside of bis fence aim runs all
. lie way on rocky laud too poor to raise
iiiytbiug. It then passes through
Mr. Wagners fence and on through
his field and connects w itn tho pub
lic roud. This road has been traveled
more or less for a good many years.
Now, we had permission from Mr.
Wagner to pass through bis field, and
I think no man would question a
nan's right of passing quietly and
(leaceably over a piece of road outside
.if an enclosure, either on foot or
horseback, at any rate we had Mr.
Wagner's permission to pass through
the gale iu question.
Now, Mr. Kobinson claims that
parties, by uiistako drovo into his
Held over clover, potatoes and grain,
and that to get rid of that uuisauce,
he posted up that notice. I would
simply say that lie cannot cite one
tingle instance of that kind. If that
was bis reason why did ho not post
that notice on the gate that leads into
his field? Instead of that ho posted
his notice ou tho road that runs out
sido oi" his field, and why did they try
to stop me by force from traveling the
road outside of the fence?
Again, lie says he did some slashing
preparatory to enlarging his field.
Now, thu only slashing ruude consists
of a few fir tret s felled iu the road at
right unglea or across it, apparently
for no other purpose but to obsrncl
tho road. Now, Mr. Robinson's only
purpose iu trying to stop travel on
this road was to make us go around,
thus compelling us to travel 'c
miles further every day Iu order to
get to and from our work.
In regard to what occurred at the
gatu in question, it is located ut least
iM) rods from 'where they were milking
hay, und they had to go some distance
out of their way to get to it. When
I arrived at tho gatu I found Mr.
Claud C. Rnbiusnii and bis brother
Luther R. apparently waiting for me.
Mr. Robinson says they had wired
thn gate, which is correct They had
a pitchfork standing a short distance
away. Tney ordered mo not to come
through the gate, but to go back from
whence I came. I paid no attention
to them und stooped down to unwire
tho gate, wheir" Claud C. immediately
asaulted mo, trying to get hold of
my baud and arm, tearing away part
of the clothing. I then raised up and
pulled him away, when be struck me.
I then struck hi in iu self-defense,
which elided the buttle on rather short
notice, for he immediately broke
away and ran for tho pitchfork and
returned with it to the gate. I then
broke the w ire on thu gatu and passed
through. Both of my assailants then
ran back along the road to where they
hud felled the trees across the road,
mil there thev took their stand, fork
iu hand.
Now In regard to tho tongue lushing
I simply told them what I thought of
IM'oplu w ho committed such acts.
Now, I am well known in this part
of Josephine couuty, having traveled
for three years as a Methodist preach
or iu this Iiart of the country. I have
never imsised on anyone. I have
always tried to do unto others as I
would have them do unto me, at.d
this Bcnseless attack of these imrtios
on my person mid my character, is a
most disagreeable thing, and cannot
bo too strongly condemned by the pub-
lie. Mr. Kditor, your corresiKiiidout
told tho truth. If tH-nplu do not wish
to be called scoundrels, then let them
remain within tho bounds of troll
and righteousness.
Very respectfully,
J. SAMS
