MAM I V WILL ASK GOVERNMENT AID e Eastern Oregon Sage Goes to Attend National Con servation Congress. Portland Journal: Colonel Bill Hen ley, the ssge of Harney, ia in fort land on hie way acroaa the United Slates to plead with the National Conservation, congresa to back him In crusade to create a new development policy on the part of the , government. He would denude the government bureaus of a scheming dominance ob tained through well planned aelf per petuation and concentrate the power now used in liimeu building on real trtiru I nttlers. ne J government in the terma of fiu! illy aervlce rather than mach ines of the builders,", said he in out lining the appeal ha baa prepared to make. "The government muat begin with the man of today on tbeae western lsnda and find what he needa In tools of today ana equipment of today to make the best aucceaa. "The present policy la to let these poor home builders, who couldn't go way out In the wild country If tbey weren't poor, try to aolve great big development problema with no more equipment than the pioneera of the paat generation. "Here are atreama tearin' holes in the moontaln aides with their onie- atrained power but the government isn't usin' them, or premittin' their use, In development of electric power or for irrigation. "We've got to work out a way for the timber on the bill sides to be used. I do not agreo with the agent who says trees are, aacred and shouldn't be cut down. Nature makes it bard enough for man to get a living and she put the tres there, and the streams to help him. "The government ought to get into the road building business and make waya ao that the people can e.et out on the land. "We want to have it ao that tha government agents, when they come to the poor little shack of a homestead er won't be conaidered, aa they are today, policemen acting aa apiea to see If thev can prosecute the aettler maybe for cutting down a sties of wood. "We want a government that is friendly to ita own people, that ia de voted to their human Interest. We want government agenta not aa police men but aa frianda, aa agricultural advisers and guides to show the aettler bow to make tha land yield him up a living for himself and hla family."

J MONEY DUE FROM FORESTHECEIPTS Lake County Will Get Over $4,000 For Roads and Schools. County Tressarer Ahlstrom hss re cently received notice from tbe State Treasurer to tbe effect that Lake County will receive from tbe revenue derived by tbe National Forest within Ita borders tba sum of X4.373.15. Tbia amount represents 25 pr cent of tbe gross receipts ot the local Fremont and tba Paulina National Forests from tbe sele ot timber, grating feea on csttle, horses, swine, aheep and goats, and from all other aoarces. One half of tba amount turned over to thla county, or t2.186.57, will be placed in tha road fund, while tba balance will be used for school purpoaea.

With thia 10 per cent item a very good road waa boilt during tbe past summer from tbe Oregon Valley Land Company's dam to Dog Lake, a dis tance of 7 1-2 milea. Local labor was used in tbe construction of the road, which cost (562.50 not counting the time of the Forest Officer who waa in charge of tbe work.

FREMONT FOREST MAKESDIG SALES Under New Policy Farmers Benefit In Purchasing Timber. 'the present year has been a very good one for the local Fremont Nat ional Forest in so far as the amount ot timber sold is conoerned. In addition to numerous smsll sales of cord wood, posts, poles and building material in general, all of wnich totalled many thousands of feet board measure; sev eral large sales have been made to G. W. Rice, Cbief Engineer of tbe Goose Lake Valley Irrigation Com pany, thia city: and to Egli & Gowdy, of Silver Lake, whose sawmill is located In Auger Valley. Tbe sales to Mr. Kice were made from National Forest lands in the vicinity of the Oregon Valley Land Company'a aawmill on Drews Creek, and totalled 664,050 feet board meas ure, which waa aold tor $1826.14. The Egll & Gowdy sales totalled 554.300 feet board measure, valued at $1524.73. A new policy has recently been in augurated on tte local National Forest wberebv cordwood, posts, poles and building materials are aold to ranchers and homesteaders at a price based on the actual cost of administration or in other words, representing the value of the Forest Orficcrs's labor in mark ing the trees to be cut, scaling or measuring, burning the brush, etc. Under this system, cord eood, is being sold to ranchers and homestead ers at 25 cents per ford, and building material at 50c per thousand leet. This ia a great saving over the pricea chanted locally by private owners of limber, and over prices formerly charged by the Service. Married at Alturas Last weanesoay morning in Aiturss, Rev.

Pall for tbe front and If yoo do you'll get there. Opportunity and luck have aomethng to do with success but they won't count unless you rise to tbe occasion. No success can be gained witnnut honest application. I never csme across a place wnere a lie could take the place of the truth, and you never will. A man never will have regret tor having done his best even though be may regret that bis best didn t turn, out better. No one can long deceive the public r. you oeceive only yourselves when youi think so. If success didn't require effort it. wouldn't be worth bsvlng. No organization can exist that isn't i ased on fair play. The successful man Is the one whof best selects his help. 1 wouldn't work a minute for a corporation that refused to promote me for fear they couldn't get a man to take my place. .
