The Olympic Reserve,

1t is doubtful if many citizens of this
county realize the Importance of Sc
curing modification of President
Cleveland's order setting aside the
Olympic Forest Reserve. Congress,
it is true, suspended this order and
gave the president authority to revoke
or modify the order, but such modi-
fications must be made by March LIST,
1898, or the order stands as originally
made. Thas is but six weeks
distant, and so far as we know of no
effort has been made by the people of
this section to secure modification.
To understand the Importance of
the matter to us who are interested,
and to realize how the reserve, as it
now is, will retard the growth of the
harbor and county, it is only necessary
ia take a map and trace the bounda-
ries, which are as follows:
Beginning at the Northeast corner
of Township % north, Range west,
in Clallam county, thence west to
Range 9, thence north to the north
line of Township 80, west to east line
of range 13, north to the straits,
thence west and south along the coast
to the Quiniault reservation, thence
east to the east line OF range west,
and thence north to the place of be-
ginning. x
Immediate action should be taken
by the citizens of every town in the
county, through their organized
boards of trade or otherwise, to secure
this modification. Petitions, stating
all facts, should be sent to our con-
gressmen and they urged to secure a
modification of this order, at once.
There can be no objection to re-
serve including to top of the Olympic
range, but it is absurd that the fertile
Western slope should be included be-
cause, for-sooth, man ignorant OF the
conditions thinks it necessary to pre-
serve the timber in order that the rain
fall may not be decreased. With 23.-
80 inches of rain last November, and
an annual rainfall of s or 10 feet, 1t
would appear that even the secretary
of the interior might concede our abil-
ity to get along with little less, even
if his doubtful theory is correct so far
as this section is concerned.-Aber-
deem Herald.

Persons who are troubled with in
digestion will be interested in the ex-
perience of VIM. III. Penn, chief clerk
in tbe railway mail service at Des
Moines, Iowa, who writes: "It gives
me pleasure to testify to the merits Of
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhea Remedy. For two years I
have suffered from indigestion, and am
subject to frequent severe attacks of
pain in the stomach and bowels. One
or two doses of this remedy never fail
to give perfect relief. Price 25 and
