This office has had frequent inquiries concerning the manner in which land may be taken when the Siletz Indian reservation is opened. The Oregon City Enterprise, published at the seat of the land office, gives the infornia.tion in the following manner: “The bill provides that mineral lands, if any, shall be dis posed of as other like lands, the balance of the lands to be disposed of under the townsite or homestead laws. Home steaders will pay at the tune of filing in addition to the regular fees, fifty cents per acre on the land entered and on making final proof another payment of one dollar per acre. Final proof is to be made within five years from date of en try and not less than three years of ac tual residence on the land shall be es tablished by such evidence as is now- required in homestead proofs to perfect title. The bill provides that the presi dent shall by proclamation declare the lands open to settlement, such date of opening to be sixty days from the time of the issuance of the proclamation. As no proclamation has yet been issued by the president relative to these lands, Senator Dolph in order to hurry up the matter has written the secretary of the interior asking him to call the attention of the president to the matter, that no further delay may be had in the opening of the reservation.’’ Trotting Record Has Dropped Sec ond by Second and the End is Not Yet.

President W. J. Littlejohn, of the Underwriters’ Association of the Northwest, who, in an address before that organization, declared the re cent forest fires were ordered started by the lumber kings in the interior, also stated his charges were based on investigations made under his di rection. “These fires have occurred every year,” said Littlejohn. “It was apparent there must be some motive for the incendiarism. Our company accordingly sent men up into Michigan and Wisconsin this summer to make investigation, and they received evidence sufficient to satisfy me some big lumber dealers fired the forests in order to hide the evidence of their timber stealing*. The evidence is not sufficiently strong to warrant charging any particular man with the deeds. However, I am informed the states of Michigan and Wisconsin have appointed commis sions to investigate the fires. Until we know the results the insurance organizations will do nothing. There is a possibility, however, in the event of the failure of these commissions to develop the matter that some insur ance unions will take up the prosecu tion themselves. I am confident that the state authorities can secure all the evidence necessary if they try.” _ SWINE INDC8TRY. There are two branches of the live stock industry in Oregon in which breeders are feeling hopeful. The demand for Jersej- cattie and pedi greed swine has been improving for the past year. The call for Jerseys came first but at the present time breeders are re ceiving many inquiries for swine qf the various breeds. The growing interest in these lines bodes well for the farming industry of this section. Good cows and good hogs will go a long ways toward bringing about an era of prosperity for the farmers of Oregon and Wash ington. In spite of the fact that hogs are selling for less in the Pacific north west than elsewhere in the United States, hogs, at the prices they now sell for here, pay better than any thing else produced on the farm ex* cept the best grade of butter. In the end our hogs must bring as good prices as any produced in the United States, if not better. The conditions under which we must grow them make healthy hogs and sweet meat. Our climatic con ditions are quite similar to those found in Ireland, Denmark and West phalia, the countries which produce hams and bacon that sell in the markets of the world for much high er prices than the best American corn-fed product. There is little danger of loss from cholera when hogs are raised on milk, clover, alfalfa, peas, potatoes, wheat and barley. These are the kinds of feed which this section produces and they are the kinds of feed which make the best quality of pork. Prunes and other fruit which may be for any cause unfit for shipment should be fed to hogs and will aid in promoting their good health and giving superior flavor .to their flesh. This is not the country for great farms devoted almost exclusively to raising and fattening hogs. What what we want are a few hogs on a great many farms and not a great many hogs on a few farms. A large amount of damaged wheat is this year being shipped from east ern Washington to Nebraska to be used for fattening hogs. The farm ers who buy this wheat must be obliged to pay twice as much, at least as those get who sell it. If there had been a reasonable number of hogs in eastern Washington one year ago it would have been an easy mat ter to have made profitable use of all this damaged wheat, and much of that which is not damaged, at home. Under existing conditions there can be no prosperity for the agricult ural community which uses the pro ceeds of exported wheat to pay for imported dairy and pork products. The prosperous nations are those which export choice butter and prime bacon.— Rural Northwest.
