DECLARATION Is DIN.

New York, Nov. PA special to the
Sun from Washington says: The
original copy Of the Declaration Of In
dependence Is no more. The stirring
text and signatures Of the members OF
the Continental Congress have faded
away. The precious document pre-
served in the cabinet in the State De-
partment library is now practically
nothing more than large sheet on
parchment. Part Of ,..e words "Decla-
ration Independence" which was writ.
ten in large letters, are decipherable,
but not a signature is visible to the
naked eye. One hardly discernible
stroke Of John Hancock's pen is all
that remains of the bold and vigorous
autograph, which he purposely made
SO large as to show the British Govern
ment that he nad no fear OF being
known.
The Declaration is preserved In
narrow drawer, glass covered, which
slides In steel safe with heavy double
doors, locked by a combination. After
its removal to the State Department
from Independence Hall In Philadel.
phia. where the National Congress held
its session on July 4, 1776, the Declare
ton was placed in a glass case and ex.
posed to the view Of visitors. Owing
to the strong light to which 1t was sub
jected 1t began to fade, and 1t was re.
moved to the case in which It Is now
preserved. This was several years ago.
The fading continued, however, until
now the noted document is nothing
more, apparently, than a mere blank
sheet Of paper.

Neill's company have frequently been
serenaded late at night. The moon
light serenades have not been especial

exemplary habits but he Is determined

The Bulletin publishes with this Is

and method Of compiling, this work is

The purpose of this paper has been
to give reliable information to those
contemplating investment or interest
ed in knowing the size and import
ance OF the leading industry OF the
Islands. Attention has also been given
the railway properties and the more
prominent coffee estates. These
articles literally interspersed with IL

competent knowledge Of the general
character of the lands titled, methods
used by the various managers, water
supply, In fact all the details Of pro-
duction from the time the cane Is
planted till the raw sugar Is turned out
ready for transportation.
Hawaii sugar plantation managers
have the deserved reputation of having
developed their methods Of sugar pro-
duction to the highest state Of perfec-
ton, making two blades Of grass grow
where none has been before. This
reputation has become so wide spread
that the tendency has been towards
exaggeration. The Bulletin has aimed

The proposed forest reserve In South
ern Oregon is looking for an originator
or some one willing to take that respon-
sibility. Attorney X. q. Smith sent the
following letter to the Oregonian, the
reply being also g:Tcr. The people Of
this county don't want any forest re-
serve.
Grants Pass, Or, July, l8.-(To the
editor. )-The information in Mondays
Oregonian concerning the proposition to
create forest reserve of parts Of Jose
phine, Curry and Douglas counties
comes as a revelation to the people Of
this county. Can the Oregonian give
the origin of this proposition? To those
who know the country, it seems appar-
ent that the only object would be to en-
able spectators to acquire scrip through
the settlers. The reserve as proposed
would cover the largest part Of the min
eral zone Of Southern Oregon and retard
the development Of the mining resources
very seriously. The southern part Of it
would cover the timber belt from which
this country must draw its supply Of
lumber, but the northern part comprises
in the main timberless range, valuable
only for its mines. The oregonian can
perform no greater service for this vicin-
ity than opposing this scheme.
ROBERT G.. SMITH.
1t does not yet appear who is at the
bottom Of the project for large new
forest reserve in Southern Oregon. 1t is
certain that Commissioner Hermann ia
vored a reserve there and a report by
Secretary Hitchcock to the House Of
Represent stiyes last year named the
generous boundaries indicated in the
oregonian. People living in the vicinity
Of the proposed reserve ought to be able
to give the origin Of this move.

Indians we're not altogether to blame. as
many OF them were wantonly killed by
the whites. The copper-skinned savages
soon acquired the love of gold, as they
were not slow to learn that they could
exchange the metal for guns, pistols and
ammunition. The sacks Of gold entic-

below Grants Pass.
For three years war raged between
the miners and Indians. Forts were
erected by whites, into which they
would often crowd for protection. Much
blood was spilled, and not until the In
dams were completely subdued did the
war come to an end. During these three
years but little mining was done. Be-
sides the outbreaks, the rainfall was
light and no water could be had to run

the valleys OF Southern Oregon, and when
reports came OF rich strikes being made
in British Columbia, stampede to the
