FOREST AND ARID LANDS.

The resolution prepared by Mr.
John Mimic, advocating state owner
ship Of forest arid lands, which we're
aeorted.at the wool growers conven-
tion at The Dalles, is exciting con-
siderable favorable comment. An
effort, IL is understood, will be made
to induce our senator's and represent
atiyes TO haye the forest reserves set
of by proclamation of President
Cleveland returned to the public
domain. II this can be done, then
there will be an effort made TO have
the United States grant its forest
lands and arid lands to the states 10
which they are located, to be i'm
proved and utilized under state con-
troll and supervision.
If Mr.. Minto can succeed in having
his idea carried into effect, 1t will
prove an incalculable benefit to our
state. and a crown OF honor to him Of
which he may well be proud. The ac-
complishment of this work will have
another good effect; it will put officers
in charge Of our forests and arid
lands, when they come to be utilized,
under the state authorities, who have
an interest In common with the peo-
pie and the prosperity of the state, and
rid US Of some useless federal officers
who render no valuable service, and
receive large salaries, and whose ap
pointments, we'have always believed,
are not authorized by any United
States law. 1t would be difficult to
tell the authority for Max Muller's
appointment, its use and benefit to
the state and nation. The same thing
might be said of some others.

NEVER FoRGETs TAXPAYERS

platform does not forget the taxpayer.

Statesman.
Yes, it has always been character
istic OF the Republicans Of this
county to be very considerate Of the
Loor, overburdened taxpayers of the
county until elected. In event Of
election all this professed interest in
and sympathy for the taxpayer dis.
appears as completely as dew, before
the sun on May morning. For in
stance, the platforms adopted by the
Marion county Republican conven-
tioD for 1894 and 1896 both pledged
reduction in county expenses.
The Republican candidates we're
elected, but we ask were those
pledges kept. Instead, raids on the
county treasury, unparalleled In the
history of the county were made.
The first "job" was that of improv-
ing the court house grounds, which,
though it was badly needed and
greatly beautitied the grounds could
have been equally as well done for one
third the price paid had bids been
asked. In addition to this the inter
ior OF the court house was subjected TO
some slight changes and improve
ments for which $1,000 was paid,
This work by contract would not
have cost oyer $1,000. What can be
expected in the future OF the g. o. p.
In this county whose record for
economy and reduction In county
expenses for the past has been what IL
is2 Pledges are well enough, but II is
necessary TO carry them into effect TO
gain the confidence aud support OF the
average taxpayer.

MR.. oEER FOR GOVERNOR.


The Spanish war Is forgotten in
the local enthusiasm for the nomi-
nation of a popular candidate for
governor. Canons we're fired az Salem
blythe friends OF T. T. Geer,o Macleay,
man who has always been do
servedly popular among the Repub.
llcans Of Marion county. Mr.. Geer's
nomination was brought about by
good anagement, and much use
was made of TIE fact that be was
turned down by the Mitchell Nc
Bride faction in his aspiration for
the Portland custom house. Public
sentiment in the Republican party
against that combination was easily
turned against Mr.. Geer's
opponents, and strange tn relate, the
very fellows who defeated him for
the collectorship of customs became
his most aggressive supporters for
the governorship. Those who es-
poused his cause when he was turned
down are also pleased at some SUBJ
stantial victories over the Mitchell
Mcbride faction.
This is not said o detract from Mr..
Geer's merits as a man or standing
as a Republican, but as warning
that not too much in the way Of re-
forms should be expected from Mr.
Geer after he Is in Office. He will not
feel called upon to consider this mat
ter until after lie is elected and that
is the naiu matter that must now
engage his attention. He will make
strong ca.L paign. strong enough to
overcome the difficulties he is hamp-
cred with, and possibly stroog crongh |
TO unite the discotdant eli menls of |
the Republican party. II he can co
that he has perhaps an even chauce
Of winning in the race.
Mr.. Geer is fluent writer, an able
talker and an entertaining cam
paigner. His tall figure is well known
to the people of Oregon. He has been
twice in the legislature and once as
speaker Of the house showed great
ability as presiding officer. He is an
old resident OF Oregon. A man Of
clean family life and of good personal
habits. The party and the people
are to be congratulated in having
candidate on the Republican ticket in
every respect as able and as respecta-
BILE as Mr.. King, the Union nominee
for the same place. THE JOURNAL Is
Mr.. King, but is not dis.
posed to underestimate or dlsparage
Mr.. Geer as a citizen or candidate in
the least.

taxes. and in many instances bid In
by the county. The result is. that
many Of the mcrciless gang who Rad
for years plundered the public are
today paying rent TO the county for
the buildings they had held free from
taxes for years.
A Union victory in Oregon would
result in much property going onto
tax rolls that is now escaping. A
Union victory in Oregon means re-
lief to the masses Of the people from
unjust taxation.

FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
Letter From n Former Student at VIII

| Letter From n Former Student at Vii
lamette University.
Mrs. e. NJ. Vandervert Of this city
has received a letter from George G..
Smith, former student at Willamette
university and a young man highly
respected Ia this city, who now resides
in South Africa. Following are ex-
tracts:
DURHAM, Natal, S. A., Feb. 20. 1923.
Received your kind letter by mail.
1t has been of much interest TO me
and fills me with a longing TO be
once more on American soil. More
than ever am l convinced OF the
fact that there is no place like home.
At present ] am employed as a clerk
in a wholesale importing firm and as
the work is not hard / stand chance
OF building up my constitution which
has been very much impaired by the
malarial fever, which have been sub
jected to so long. Have seen Mr.. Con-
stine and he appears to be a true
gentleman. 1 have not seen an Oregon
paper since leaving Portland. The
only papers to be had are the New
York Herald and the Scientific Amer
lean, should be very much obliged
IL you would send me local paper.
That was a sad calamity chat over
took the United States Cruiser Maine.
What a lot of sorrow IL must have
brought to the many Of our country
men. Only two hours ago we had
similar disaster here Ia our quiet
harbor. o A steam launch with fish
ing party aboard was trying to cross
the bar which is very rough and as it
was blowing very hard she shipped
heavy sea which put out the fire uu-
der the boiler and the cold water
coming in contact with the boiler ex-
ploded 1t and blew the vessel into
fragments. or the thirteen persons
aboard five were saved and the rest
were drownded. 1 was we'll ac-
quainted with the owner of the launch
who was the head clerk in our estab-
lishment at one time. A brother of
his who witnessed the accident from
a Jetty told me that the owner who
was one of the fishing party swan
about In the water for an hour and
half trying to save himself, but as
there are rapid whirlpools at the bar,
he was carried around and could not
get free, and at last his strength gave
out and with the words:
Goodbye to all,remember me to my
wife and children" he was sucked
under and was seen no more. There |
were plenty Of willing hands to save
him, but could not do so without los
ing their own lives. AS this is small
place all the people were we'll known
and it has sad effect upou every one.
Most of the people of this colony are
English and Scotch, and they have
brought their national manners and
habits with them from their mother
country. They are law abididlng
and religious people, and this latter
attitude speaks well for them, as we
have over fifteen churches and |
chapels in the different parts of the |
town. They have not perhaps the |
spiriG and enterprise Of the Yankee, |
still they do good in their own quiet
way.
