EXPRESSES HIMSELF ON TIMBER LEGISLATION Mr Webb Think Tlmbar Men are Protected to the Detri ment of Miners. Deering, Oiegon, April 9, 1907, Ed Conner: I noticed two weak sago an artiole in the Observer, criticising the stand taken by one Senator Faltou on the timber question and it did rae good to hear the esteemed Observer lam baste the method by which oor forests are desecrated and now last week oomes an apology from the same Ob server to the same seuator all because said senator "mollycoddles" to said Observer, saying "Now dear editor, yon are a slashing fine fellow, best I ever saw and you did not really mean what yon said. Yon meant all Grants Pass, Tuesday, 42 DOUBLE LENGTH R. R.

Editor and they have lived happliy ever since. Now I think this shows the Observer to be inconsistent and not op to the welfare of the people, and Mr. Fulton puts me in miud of the preacher who always peached it was wrong to sell whiskey and never failed to vote for license. Mr. Fulton comes along with a handful of roses, walks by the minors aud prospectors, breaks oil a twig for the homes 'ekera and throws the wholu booquet into the lap of the timber barons and then proceeds to tell us that the law has been trampled upon; the timber and land stolen aud the thieves still at large and then claims the law a good law neverthe less, for the sake of a few cents in taxes, derived from the stolen plun der; lie shoots: "Vive the 'stone aud inf.UnlTIES HI AA 22 Famous Equestrians i ?;v I A rforinor Aorialielc 23 Merry Le throws , or, Chariot Races & SEA LIONS JAPANESE CIRCUS V a I iV.-' TkS' T X V X ury zr jr a y r r rr r vv v t . x 20 Astonishing Acroaais xa - -1V HIGHEST JUMPING HORSES VNT r onir.LUUi LLnn.nw m. . r ( k i i i i i IMPORTED ARABIAN STALLIONS i ftTnrPT nnnnnr 10:30 timber ao-t." If ever there was a crime committed in the congress of the U. S. it was that selfsame law, gotfn np by Alger of Michigan, pushed throagh for private euds and used by the Alger interests to steal Minnesota timber lands. It's no ecr.'t, everyone knows it and from that very law has all the timber lauds on this coat been aequiied by the Owens the Weirhausers and ether outfits. Oh yes, it a good law for the grafters. Mr. Fulton, goes on to tell us about the timber that grows on mooutain lands that "stand on end" where homesteads are impossible and declares it right to take thesi lands for timber. He never once alludes to the fact that these stme n ountams carry within their breasts grmt veins of mineral more valuable and lasting than all the timber. He never men tions how some poor prospect or has fouud something that looked good to him, how he worked for a grub stake, toted it into the mountains for miles, mouth in, month ont, year after year, only to find it finally located on by some bow legged lantern-jawed, son of a Timber thief and a patent ob tained thereto. Yes, Senator, your law may be all right, but you cannot cram it down the neck of a miner or prospector. Either oue of them could oat debate you aud give yoa cards and bi ades. As they would have living facts and results for data, while yon would have to soir.on fanr. ..Where mineral should lead, timber has had the preference over all. Timbir lias ts stat in the parquet, ranchers in the balcony aid mineral is eveu kicked out of "nigger heaven." "Yea, the timber law is all O.K.," quoth the Seuator and the limber men fervently respond " Ameu. " Yes, my Hon. Seuator, there is a voting time bound to roll around aud mining men and ranchers are not going to vote for the politician who peals his "taters" for the timber knaves, throws the at ins to the home steadors and leave the miners to squeal and starve not by a jag full! A law that gives such latitude for graft is furely wrong. Therefore the more forest reeoves, the bettor. Then is no oue going to kick on the fortst reserve but the ones who stole the wallets 8,tirl are after more.

Wo oannot go bunting without license; cannot grate our stock without a permit; oannot cut timber without baying it. Is any better than, it osed te be? Do you call that a land of liberty?
