A Publication Printed By the Depart
ment of Agriculture for Pub
lic Information.
"The Use of tbo National Forests."
a publication just printed by tbe De
partment of Agriculture, is a brief,
clear manual for public information
as to tbe forest policy of tbe National
Government
It is too trne, as tbe short preface to
tbe pablio says, that "many people
do not know what National Forests
are. Others may have beard much
about them, but have no idea of their
true purpose aud use." It is tbe ob
ject of this publication to explain just
what tbe National Forests mean, wbat
tbey are for, and bow to use them.
In tbe first place it is explained bow
the Forests are created and how their
boundaries are drawn. Next, their
direct use and value are shown from
the point of view of the homeseekei ,
tbe prospeotor and miner, tbe user of
timber, the nser of tbe range, tbe user
of water, and other users of Potest
resources. Third, it is shown how
the Forests are intended for use. for
the production of usable products, and
for tbe establishment and maintenance
of bomee; how on all of tbem tbe tim
ber is protected from fire, the'water
flow is kept steady the forage on the
range is increased and guarded from
abnse; and how in addition they serve
as great publio playgrounds and as
breeding places and refuges for game.
Finally the management of the Na
tional Forests is described.
Here it is that the great usefulness
of the Forests is brought out most
clearly and strikingly ; for the Forests
are managed by the people in their
own interests and every means is used
to meet the desires and wants of all
Forest users half way by dealing with
tbem in he main direotly on the

ground aud ia all cases with tbe ut
most practicable dispatch and freedom
from red tape.
Ia a word tbe special interest of
this manual lies in its showing that
tbe Forest policy of tbe Government
both in prinoiple and in practice is for
the benefit of the ordinary man for
the benefit of every citizen equally.
There is still a tendency to tbink of
the National Forests as "preserves"
closed to use and to leave tbe pnblio
lands exposed to unregulated individ
ual exploitation. Where these misap
prebeusious still prevail "The Use of
the National Forests" will go far to
oorrect them.
The book is written by Mr. Fred
erick E. Olmsted whose intimate
knowledge of conditions in tbe West
and tbe policy nnder which tbe Na
tional Forests are managed especially
fits him to deal with tbe subject.

Compiled from Last Issues of the
Heppner Gazette.

a cheok for $5020 in payment of a
polioy on tbe life of her bnsband, tbe
late Jeff Hayes.

500 head of fat sheep from Paul His
ler. The sheep were shipped to Trout
dale, Monday.
B. F. Watkius shipped a carload of
28 head of horses toTroutdale, Friday.
It was a lot of good big horses aud
some of them were broken.
Tbe Heppner ice plant has been ship
ping in large quantities of ioe this
week. Owing to tbe faot that Lou
-Kinney, who was engaged to run the
ice plant engine, was hurt and unable
to do tbe work, aud Cowius & Sou
were unable to get an engineer, the ioe
plant has not been started this season.
Mr. Kinney will soou be able to go to
work and the plant will be started soon.
A Peculiar Accident.
A peouliar accident happened to W.
A. Barnes of Weston, while batbiug
in the swimmiug pool at Bingham
Springs, one day last week. ' While
swimming under tbe spring board,
some one gave a heavy jump that
brought tbe board down on bis bead
witb a tbud, sending him under tbe
water senseless. A general panic en
sued, but in a few minutes Mr. Barnes
came to tbe surface, was taken on laud
and his wounds properly dressed. Tbe
accident did not mar tbe day's pleas
ure materially after tbe scare bad
subsided.
Wouldbe Indian Suicide.
Jim Mayer, a well known reservation
Indian, attempted to end bis troubles
Saturday afternoon by firing a pistol
bullet into his breast. Tbe shot did
not prove fatal however, and though
tbe mas is in a precarious condition,
there are chances for bis recovery. He
walked three miles after firing the ball
from a 38 caliber revolver, into bis
breast.
Under Medical Treatment.
Mrs. U. DeGraw of Weston, return
ed from Walla Walla Wednesday
where she had been under medical
treatment at tbe borne of ber daugh
ter, Mrs. Delia Larson; Unfortunately
ber condition did not warrant her re
maining home, and Mr. DeGraw re
turned witb ber to Walla Walla immediately.
mr OIL FOR FUEL
High Price of Wood Leads to Weston
Experimenting With Stoves
That Burn Standard Oil.
Four foot wood at 0.75 a cord, aud
but little prospect of getting coal at
any price, says tbe Leader, strikes the
average Weston householder witb dis
may. Old rails helped out a lot last
winder, but these are not bo plentiful
this year. Some people are getting
elabwood, which is already sawed in
16-inch lengths, and at $6.00 per cord
delivered ($2 at the mill, $1 for haul
ing) is regarded as more eoonimioal
than oordwood. Tbe brickyard is
shipping in a large supply of fuel from
Kamela.
There are rumors of a cordwood
trust ou Weston mountain, controlling
tbe production aud pi ioe of fuel. As
nobody with a piece of timber can be
prevented from cutting and hauling 1
fuel, it is more likely that tbe law of
s jpply aud demand governs tbe situa
tion. Labor is higher, and it takes
labor to fell and saw the stately tama
rack, fir and piue. Teams are high
priced and require high piiced feed,
drivers want to make good wages, and
the cost of oordwood has moutued in
proportion to a height that dizzies the
family man witb a slim pocket-book.
If trust there be, relief is sought by
some of our people from tbe greatest
trust of all Standard Oil. Should
their hopes bo realized tbe uame of
John D. Rockefeller may yet be prais
ed in Weston. Should they find that
tbey can burn this oil at a less cost
than cord wood be will no longer be
regarded as a book-beaked old pirate
but a pablio beuof actor.
There's a new-fangled sort of oil
stove made in Pennsylvania known as
tbe Harrison tubular radiatior wick-
less heating and cook stove. The same
stove may be used for either beating
or cooking, radiators being attached
for the former purpose. A little oil is
said to go a loug way in this particu
lar stove, and Amasa Phillips has or
dered eight of them iu order that their
usefulness may I e locally demoustrat-
. When tbey arrive tbey will be
put ou trial amoug the wood-less.
