TWO tlircntcniiig prutcst of (ici'iiuiiiy 1 Spiiin iivcr Sj a in s iiunoiinct'd inh'iil ion of rcplafin, SjiaiiiRh ships sunk liy (icriiian Hiiliinarincs with itilci'iicd CiiTinan vessels, is characteristic of the bullyiiif,' character of Prussian diplomacy, (lermany holds that she has not only the right to sink neutral ships at will and destroy neutral life and property in defiance of international law, but that the neutral nations have no right to recompense and must take their medicine without a murmur. (Sinking of a fJerinan ship by a -neutral would result in immediate' declaration of war hy the kaiser, but even the right ofi'eplaeoiiioiit in time of dire need is denied by Ger many to the neutral (iei'inan property being sacred while all the rest of the world is held as loot for Germany. The fact that Spain is shy of foodstuffs and threatened with famine because of. the destruction of friendly Span ish ships by the llun does not alter the situation-to the Prussian.. All little nations have; the alternative of giving Germany what she wants or being crushed and enslaved. The aristocracy of Spain, like that of other neutral na tions, has always been pro-German. The king is a 1 laps burg and more or less German blood flows in the veins of the Spanish nobility. Hut there is a limit to the insults that the once proud Spaniard' will stomach and if there is enough spunk left in Spain, the Hun will be coura geously defied especialy as events on the western battle front are shattering his striking power. Tho kaiser's ishining sword is pretty badly hacked and fast losing its edge. Spain has been ihe center of German intrigue against the world. German propaganda has honey-combed the country". Paid German agents are everywhere and in all ranks of life. Nowhere has the Jinn been more active in his diabolical work of creating discord and dissension for German profit. The coast of Spain is strung with U-boat bases and for all this clandestine assistance, the reward is the destruction of Spanish shipping. Unlike Holland and Denmark, whose borders make the menace of the Hun an actuality and whom the fear of de struction has kept reluctantly submissive, between Ger many and Spain is the steel wall of the allied armies. Spain need not fear Prussian might. The Spanish crisis is a hint of what all small friendly nations may expect in case of German victory. None of them are safe and none will long retain their independen.se for Ilohen.ollern greed is insatiable. 10 very neutral nation should pray for allied victory for by it their future i. secure, and it is not without it. Spain can insure her own freedom by helping hasten the day of judgment for the ravagcr of "nations and the op pressor of peoples. . . . ' . RAILROADS LOST WASI I IN'OTOIV, AUK 2 1.

GRAZING LAND IN if E To the Editor: I have read Mr. Hnwloy'8 letter in your valued paper and the bill for increase of forest area. . The proposed area to be In cluded, roughly speaking la the area botween the old Ashland reserve and Jenny creek and south to the state line, and Is 20 VS miles long east and nest and its greatest depth north and south Is 10'A miles and averages about seven miles. Tho ' proposed north' line crosses tho Pacific Highway just north of Stelnman, putting about 1.2 miles of tho highway in the reserve. There Is about 137 square miles or 87,680 acres In this area, about one-third of which Is privately owned. The lar gest Individual owners being" the Keith Oil und Land company with 0200 acres, the Hilt lumber company with the same acreage, and tho Ash land Land company with about 30U0 acres. With' the oxceptlon of this area west of the b. P. nil. road, this Is a sparsely timbered section' and Is chiefly valuable for grazing and has been grazed . since the very earliest times by cattle for about two-thirds and sheep about one-third of the area. The sheep heretofore have al ways been Oregon stock and the cat tle nearly all California stock coming in from Ilornbrook along the Klam ath river as far south as Montague, Mr. Cooley of that place ranging his stock on the Pilot Hock range. Tho Songer sheep ranso establish ed by lion. Wm. J. Songer of Ash land, ono of the two or three men now living who entered donation land clnims In the Regno Mlvor val ley, was used by him for sheep graz ing from those very early days until ho retired from active service and was then taken and has been- used for the past 10 or 12 years by the Into Matthew Thompson and the Clrissom Itros. until this spring when tho sheep and. range rights of tho Grissom Itros, was purchased by the Marvin Peterson company of Max well, Calif., and bus been used by them this season for sheep grazing. with the expectation nnd Intention of future uso. This recital is nindo for the pur poso of getting to tho question of taxation referred to In Mr. Ilawloy's letter. Tho (Iris;soms hnvo nlways paid taxes on about 730 sheep. The California stock that have nhvays used this range, nbout 1000 head of initio and this year 4 000 head of sheep, hnvo never paid nny taxes in Oregon. Tho sheop that were grazed hero this season wero equal to 75 head for one year. - The cattlo grazed hero for about four months or equal to about 335 for ono year. Jackson county nnd Oregon in jus tice should securo taxes from this source of wculth. - if placing this area in the jesorvo would bo the easiest way to tax this stock, making roservo of It then would bo the prop er thing to do. Put making this aroa a roservo is absolutely a question put forward by nnd of Interest to Cali fornia stockmen anil both sides favor It and also favor it being placed on tho Klamath reserve, which would be In effect of stock grazing purposes moving tho state lino to a point just north of Stelnman, Pilot rock being tho dominant point in tills area. ;WKLHOItX IIICICSOX.
