Time flew all too quickly for Skagwav
society folks last week. There was so
much to do with the proper celebration of
Christmas tde-and it was observed with
all the eclat characteristic of modern
cities. Then there was the suspicious
opening of the White Pass Employees club.
1t was really grand affair and it is diff
cult to say whether the Numbers are to be
congratulated more upon the splendid con-
course which responded to invitations or
whether the fluctuations are due the society
people of the CITY that such an institution
as the club has been formed in their midst.
But it is ever "off with the old and en-
with the new" Everyone is already pre-
pairing for the st. Agnes bali tomorrow

A couple of months ago, says
the Battle Lake Growler, an old
man came into this office and
stopped his paper" We have
frequently met him OH the streets
since that time and it is very anus
ing to us to note the look of sur
prise on the old fellows face that
we are still in existence regardless
Of the fact that he stopped his
paper" y" Some day, and it won't
be very long either, that poor old
fellow will turn up his toes. Neigh
bors and friends will follow his life
less clay out to the cemetery and
lay him to rest among the flowers.
An obituary will appear in these
columns, telling what kind father,
good neighbor and benevolent citi-
zen he was-which lie the record
ing angel will kindly overlook for
charity's sake-and in a short time
thereafter he will be forgotten. AS
he lies out there in the cold grave
yard, wrapped in the silent slumber
of death, he will never know that
the last kind words spoken of him
were those of the editor of the paper
which in life he stopped"

THE sILETz RESERVATION.

M. J. Miles, Wisconsin lumber
man, who has been spending few
days among the forests along the
Siletz river in Lincoln county, is
forcibly struck by the heavy timber
resources Of that region, says the
Oregonian. AT the Perkins yester-
day, Mr.. Miles said the Govern
ment surveyors were just about
completing their work of subdivid-
ing the various townships, which
have reverted to the public from
the Siletz reservation. The great
rush of squatters has resulted in
, nearly every quarter section being
taken and there is little or no
chance now to homestead any por-
ton of the vast trace.
"The country is very rough,
though heavily timbered with a
fine quality Of fir and hemlock, )"
he said, land cruisers have been
locating squatters all fall at $50 a
head. The timber is bound to be
valuable, as the Siletz river, even
at its present low stage, is capable

"The region is reached by stage
or private conveyance from Dallas,
Polk county, the distance being
about 25 miles from that town.
Quite number of Wisconsin peo-
ple," said Mr.. Miles, "were among
the fortunate squatters, having
come out all the way from their old
homes in the East to abtain title to
some of those magnificent trees.
