BANDON RECORDER
VOLUME XXX
BANDON, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH, 31 1914
NUMBER 27
THE FOREST
BOUNDARIES
REAJUSTMENT OF BOUNDARIES
IN THIS STATE IS PRO
MULGATED. Washington, D. C, March 29. An
executive order just promulgated hus
resulted in the elimination of lands
from the national forest nreas of
Oregon.
This rcajustmont of boundaries
has resulted in a total reduction of
gross areas on tho Paulina and Dcs
chutes national forest of about 400,
000 acres. The lands eliminated arc
in tho east-central portion of the
state , a considerable portion being
on pumico lands of low fertility and
little value for present or future for
est purposes. A portion is located
near tho Deschutes river nnd already
comprises a largo percentage of pri
vate lands, and includes two towns.
These eliminations aro n part of the
work of boundary examinations in
itiated five or six years ago, which
is resulting in fixing, after careful
survey, the definite boundaries of
those lands which chould remain per
manently in forests.
Tho present eliminations aro made
because the land is not required for
forest purposes or for tho protection
of watersheds. The lands have con
siderable grazing value, but only a
small portion nro suitable for agri
culture under present conditions.

MORE POWER FOR , GOVER.- , ,
NOR ASKED BY WEST.
Salem, Ore., March 29. Governor
West today prepared an amendment
to the constitution for initiation at
tho coming election empowering the
cxecutivo to rcmovo District Attor
neys, Sheriffs and Constables and
to appoint their successors. The
measures would give the Governor
virtual control of law enforcement
of tho state. "I prepared this bill
said the Governor, "at the (request of
numerous persons who aro interested
in having tho laws enforced. Not be
ing a candidate for re-election, there
is no delicacy in my supporting tho
measure. Wore I a candidate I
might hesitate for fear my enimies
would say I was trying to get con
trol of affairs. In my opinion if the
measuro passes it will be of great
aid to future Governors in enforcing
tlie lnws."
Asked if tho law might bo a
means for Governors to wreak ven
gcanco on officials they dislike, the
Governor said:
"I am willing to take my chances
as a citi.cn on that. If I had been
empowered by law to remove District
Attorneys and Sheriffs, the Baker
county situation would have been
cleared much sooner and thero would
have been no need of resorting to
martini law to clean up Copperfiold."
The amendment tho Governor pro
poses is ns follows:
"Section 10 of article 5 of the con
stitution of Oregon shall bo nnd here
by is amended to read as follows:
"The Governor shall tako caro that
tho laws bo faithfully executed and to
this end may command tho co-operation
of every District Attorney, Sher
iff and Constable.
"Ho is hereby empowered nnd it is
moilo his duty to remove from ofllce
District Attorneys, SherifTs or Con
stables who, in his opinion, refuse or
fail to preform tho duties of their re
spective olllces or to co-opernto witli
liini In Iho enforcement of tho laws
of this state,
"Ho shall have full power to fill by
appointment any nnd nil vacunchm
occasioned by such removals."

NEW RULING ON FARM
AND GARDEN PRODUCE
Under a recent ruling of tho pos
tal authorities, farm and garden pro
duco may be shipped direct from pro
ducer to consumer when properly
packed for shipment. This provis
ion also includes farm and garden
implements,, castings pares of mach
inery, etc. This should be of im
mense benefit to farmers within easy
reach of towns or cities, as offering
an outlet for fruit, vegetables, eggs,
poultry nnd butter, which hereto
fore have been of little value on ac
count of excessive transportation
rates.
