Uncle sam moves In u mysterious

meut That the government timber
lands should be protected from waste
is freely admitted, since II is u wise
policy to take care Of our rapidly di-
mnishlng forests, and all laws aud reg.
uhtious tending to that end, are of the
utmost importance, The trouble Is,
that the rulings OF the commissioner of
the land otico, backed up hy the Scclc-
tary of the Interior compel, either the
violation of the law, hy the settler ON
tmhcrd lands, or the destruction Of
the timber The man who files home
stead is compelled to wait now II
months before he can commute and
make final proof at which time he gets
II Receivers receipt for his money, and
as far as he is concerned, has tully CONF
pticd with the law lie can now only
wait the slow action OF the commits
sioucr Of the land Office. until he gets
his patent In the meanwhile he can
improve or sell his land, but under the
ruling of the commissioner he cannot
sell the timber. The courts have hvlu
that the Receivers receipt is the same
as II patent, conveying the title, NJ It
shows the settler has done all the law
requires OF him, that he has paid the
consideration, and that the patent Is
only the evidence OF the transaction;
but The. interior department has its
agents ready to make trouble for the
claimant should ne sell the timber be-
fore the patent is issued. The clearing
Of timber lands here, isquite "A different
matter from that ofthc eastern states
where timLcr ismore valuable. Here,
there is but one way 10 clear the land

This the settler can do lawfully. He can
cut and destroy every stick Of timber
on his claim, and is encouraged to do
so by the Secretary of the Interior but
hc is forbidden to sell, or save any of il.
IL Is an oilcnse against the law to use
the timber, u commeudahlr act 10 de-
stroy It. Protecting the lumber inter-
est against Canadian competition, is Of
little importance TO the settler on this
coast what he needs is to be protected
against the asininity of the interior de-
partment, to be allowed to use the tim
Der cut from his claim, instead of being
compelled to burn it, This same IN
terror department has been for years
encouraging settlers to grow timber ON
the prairies, while compelling them to
destroy that already growing in
the forests. II seems from this that .
the Secretary is dissatisfied with the .
way God has distributed the forests,
and wants to improve on the job

timber cut by settlers from their claims,
and encourages the destruction of our
forests. According to this fire
sweeping over the entire northwest

YOU MAKE I{fE SHOES
lTELL 10 THE HEST.

The Dalles Hr0Hicic is advocating
the starting Of shoe factory at that
point, and pertincntly says: "If The
Dalles would give $25, ,O00 for shoe fac-
tory at North Dalles, how much will
1t give for a factory at home?". The
machinery in the factory at North
Dalles is said to be first class, and we
understand, will shortly be sold under
attachment. The DalIes could prob
ably get this machinery at considerably
less than cost, and will add another to
its long list Of neglected opportunities
if it fails to do 50. We have only the
kindliest feelings towards The Dallcs,
and earnestly desire to see the "Kcy
City TO the Inland Empire, take her
proper place as the biggest, and most
prosperous city of eastern Oregon. To
do this she must inaugurate system
of manufactures, and a shoe factory is
good starter. When she does this,
Hood River will start big tannery,
using the hides purchased in The
Dalles. aud will furnish an abundance
of certain grades.of leather. We have
unlimited quantities Of the very best
tanning material, hemock bark, and
besides furnishing leather, we will
make market for the hides which are
now shipped east, and back again in
the shape of boots and shoes. We wish
the Chr0njcic more power to its elbow,
and that it may succeed in convincing
The Dalles people of the necessity of
graspng every opportunity as it occurs
and making a start on a shoe factory.

1t is surprising how early the child

year-old Edith went to bed one night
with good-by kiss for papa, who was
to go away early next morning on a

mama said; 1--WE must pray for papa

Trouble. brought by an opal,


''People laugh at me. " said Mr..
Henderson, drummer at the Ander-
son yesterday, because l returned an
opal ring and took diamond instead.
l am not superstitious, but l will tell
you why / will never wear an opal ring
again.
Il started on tour through the
south. Business was good and put
on the ring, for it certainly was
beauty A few days afterward lost
valuable charm from my watch
chain. Though l offered Il reward and
advertised diligently, l never recov-
cred it. About three days later | was
robbed of my pocketbook, containing
fine diamond, considerable money
and important papers. began to
suspect the ring was the cause OF my
i'll luck, but I couldn't make up my
mind to dispose of it. a week after
l boarded a train going to Columbus,
but changed my intentions and got off,
taking another one. We were hardly
out OF town before the train rolled
i over an embankment and was pretty
badly hurt. Then | was convinced
that the opal was responsible for my
bad streak. and put it in my trunk.
have had no accidents since, and this
is the reason why won't wear an opal
again. The jeweler who sold me the
stone wouldn't put on the ring for 5000,
and he now has it up for sale in his
show window"

Baby wondered who Mussentouchit
could be. The strange thing lived in
the bureau drawers.
1t lived in the sewing machine.
1t lived in the tall jar that stood on
the little round table.
1t certainly lived in the glass globe
where the gold fishes swan.
This went on till baby was years
old. There was no word she heard so
often as the long. queer word. Mus
sentouchit.
Mussentouchit was everywhere--in
the shining books on the parlor table;
in the flower-beds; among the roses;
even in mammals work-basket the
strange thing lived; and If baby but
took up reel of silk or cotton, there
was Mussentouchit.
One day baby found herself by the
glass globe all alone. The family were
very busy, and for few minutes for
| got the little, prying, restless darling.
This was her chance. Up went the
chubby legs into the chair that stood
near the goldfish globe. Poised on
the rounding cushion, baby reached
far over to touch the goldfish. II
reaching she lost her balance and fell,
dragging the globe to the floor. There
was crash, scream, rush, ant
mamma was on the spot Baby wa
picked up, kissed and scolded.
