Loss OF Sr1CK.-Now that the winter Is
over We can arrive at s'me estimate of the
loss of cattle and sheep in this county.
Horses have suffered but little, as they can
hunt for feed under the snow much better
than cattle or sheep. There will be great
loss of stock yet, as the ground IS in such
coudl;ion as to cause them TO mire, and from
weakness they will not be able to extricate
themselves. During the week We have con-
versed with several stockmen regarding their
loss, and while they say they cannot give a
definite statement, yet they can arrive at
fair approximation The snow belt has been
confined TO the region nf country along. the
Columbia river; IN other portions OF the
county. the snow not having fallen to any
great depth. and not lying on the ground any
length OF time. For instance, from Ante
loue, 20 miles east of the Dalles, TO Canyon
city, a distance of 100 miles, the. winter has
not been severe, and the loss of stock Is not
as large as last year.

Our Exports.

1t is cert tainly gratifying to all true Ameri-
cans to know that Of late years our exports
in such staple articles az wheat and beef, but
in almost every branch Of industry. Ten years
ago nearly all tho perfumery and toilet articles
used in this country were imported from Eu-
rope to day We not only manufacture for our
selves, but are large exporters to South Ameri-
ca, China, Japan and the colonies. The in
mense growth Of this particular industry on
the Pacific coast is simply astonishing. Slaven,
who is now one of the largest cologne makers
in the world, Last year exported some 2 ,000, 900
bottles of his famous Yosemite Cologne. For

GOVERNMENT TIMER LASDs.-Inquiry is
frequently made at the Land Office as to the
rights Of parties to cut timber on Govern
meat land. In rega:d to this matter 1t may
be stated in general terms that there is no
method provided by whict timber can BE-
obtained from government land except by
the purchase of the land itself. An effort
has been made TO provide some means or
method for the sale Of timber by the pay
ment of !'siumpage' but as yet no such
means have been enacted. Mil owners and
other parties cutting timber for the purpose
If sale or speculation subject themselves
to danger Of prosecution. If the land is SUI
veyed they shouli purchase; If unsurveyed
they should communicate with the Surveyor
