When to tliis is added discrimination, as suffered by Jackson county, the load lieeoines a grievous one. On the l:!lh day of .March, 1908, it was enacted by con gress "that hereafter twenty-five per centum of all money received Ironi cadi lorest reserve during anv tiscat vear. includintr the vear ending June !0, 1!))N, shall he paid at the end thereof by the secretary of the treasury to the .state or tcrritorv in which such reserve is situated, to be expended as the state of territorial legislature may pre scribe, ior the beiielit of the public schools and public roads of the county or counties in which the forest reserve is situated. Provided, that when any forest reserve is sit uated in more than one state or territory or count-, the reserves earned nothing, the latter would appropriate Serve shall be proportional to its area therein." The distribution in Oregon, instead of being in the counties in which the reserves were located that earned the liionev, has been made bv a law of the 1907 legislature which provided a distribution according to the ''propor tion to the total of said sums its to the area of forest r( serves in said county bear to the total area of forest P( serves m the state. thus it Jackson colintv reserves earned a large sum and some county having larger area of reserves that earned nothing, the latter would appropriate the earnings of Jackson county reserves. How this liifs worked out to tlic injure ot .Jackson county is shown by the following lable of overpayments and underpayments to each county for the years .1910 to 1913, inclusive, of the 20 per cent share of the receipts from the national forests within the state. Also the amount due each county in the state for the year 1916, according to the federal act of 1908.

The Am erican steniner Ilousatonle was given full warning by the German subma rine liefore being sunk and opportu nity was given for tho safety of the crew.
