LAND NOT ARID.
So Says Inspector Green of Des-
chutes Valley.

Green reports to the Secretary of the
Interior that the lands selected by the
State OF Oregon under the Carey act,
and known as list six-that is, the lands
intended to be reclaimed by the Pilot
Butte Development Company-are not
ARID. He reports we'll developed jun-
per trees scattered over the area there
fore, he concludes, the lands are not
subject to entry under the Carey act
This report will undoubtedly lead to
prolonged wrsDgle and may be the
means of preventing for some time re-
clamation in the Deschutes valley, Ell
ther by the Government or bv private
enterprise.
Before the Pilot Butte Company clos
ed ite contract with the state as the
records show, it took the precaution to
secrre the opinion of the department as
to whether or not the growth of juniper
trees would be held as an indication
that the lands selected by the state
were or were not arid. The State Land
Agent simultaneously asked the opinion
of the department as to the character of
these lands. He stated in his letter
that the land sis entirely destitute of
water and is practically desert, but on
certain portions there is a scattering
growth of jnnipers. The juniper, and
especially the scrubby variety growing
on this desert, is not suitable for lun
ber, can be used only for wood and fence
posts, and there is no more of such wood
on any quarter section than will be nec-
essary for the use of the settler on the
quarter section. 1t cannot be made into
lumber and be shipped away, and can
be used only in the immediate vicinity
of it's growth"
In transmitting this letter to the Sec
retary, Commissioner Hermann ex-
pressed the opinion that the rule of the
department. which holds that Glands
containing sufficient moisture to produce
natural growth of trees are not to be
classed as desert land" should be liber-
ally construed, "for the reason that the
land is doubtless unfit for cultivation
without irrlgation or else it would have
been entered long ago."
In reply to Commissioner Hermanns
letter, Secretary Hitchcock issued in
structions in which be said:
"a growth OF ordinary forest trees on
land in the arid region may, as gen.
eral rule, be accepted as evidence OF the
non-desert character of the land 1t Is
however, mere presumption that LANDS
containing sufficient moisture to produce
trees will produce agricultural crops
but. like all presumptions OF fact, j
NAV be rebutted by proof showing thai
the land i, actually desert in character

AS TO PUBLIC SPEAKING.
Few Great Speeches Come Without
Previous Study.
lCincinnati. Enaulrer.)


Some wonder has been expressed at
the practice David B. Hill has lately
adopted reading his speeches TO his
audiences. though il is said that he
reads with such a show of off-hand
speaking that those in the crowd who
can hear him but cannot see him do
not discover any difference. Mr.. Hill
is a practical public speaker. and can
unquestionabiy do his subject justice
without the use of manuscript. II
necessity arises he Is eminently salts
factory as an extemporaneous speaker.
These be formative times. however, and
he is probably anxious TO keep his rec
ord straight. and 10 be able to produce
the proof against misrepresentation.
Some kinds of speeches are not much
hurt in effect by being read by the
speaker. Others depend altogether on
the style of delivery. Senator Bever-
idge OF Indiana would not be a success
as a speech-reader. Deliveries that de-
pend more on flights of phraseology
and graceful emphasis than deep delib-
GRAFTON must be unburdened by manu-
script.
Reading speeches is getting 10 be
quite tine fashion. Governor Nash read
his speech as temporary chairman Of
the Republican state convention from
typewriter pages. and General Gros-
venor. the permanent chairman, also
read his speech.
Ex-senator Hill is a busy man. and
probably had not the time TO commit
his speech 10 memory. Ex-President
Cleveland has plenty of time. and prob
ably had his Tilden club remarks pat"
OF one thing the admiring public may
rest assured: Very few. If any, of the
great speeches come spontaneously
from the speaker without previous re-
Election and preparation, not only as TO
