AFTER TIMBER CRUISES.


The General Land Office is receiv-
ing many complaints from citizens OF
Southwestern Oregon alleging that
cruisers, representing Wisconsin and
Minnesota lumber companies, are en-
tering large tracts Of land in that
vicinity under the timber and stone
act, when the lands, the complainants
assert, are mineral in character. The
complainants ask that the lands be
Withdrawn from entry except under
the mineral land laws.
In every case, however, they fail to
specify the tracts which are alleged TO
be mineral Upon these general COM
plants the department cannot act, as
it would not be justified in making
sweeping Withdrawals when possibly
only small areas are mineral in
character. Upon request, the com
plainants have also failed 10 furnish
parti 3ulars, and, in consequence, no
action has been taken. There is no
evidence to show but what some Of
these complaints may be made for
selfish purposes, to prevent the
Eastern interests gaining further con-
troll Of timbered tracts in southwestern
Oregon.
In Northern California similar
complaints were recently filed, but
specific charges were made as regards
specified sections. In consequence, a
large number Of forestry lieu land
selections have been suspended by
Commissioner Hermann, and the
character Of the Land will be deter
III ined by special investigation.

KILLED A WHITE DEER.

N A snow-white deer, the kind that
the fairy books and old hunters tell
about, was killed in the woods of
Cow Greek Canyon and brought to
this city last Friday by G.. w. Don
nell. Mr. Donnell killed the deer
the evening before while waiting for
the train at West Fork. The deer is
like all others of its kind so far as its
general shape and build is concerned.
but the remarkable feature of it is its
color Its hair is pure white and
its ewes are pink. The animal cor
responds in this respect to the Albinos
of the African race of mankind.
Many old Southern Oregon hunters
who saw the carcass of the freak deer
claim that they have never seen any
thing of the kind before in the South
ern Oregon mountains; however, they
declare that such deer have been
known at times in various parts Of
the country, but are very scarce and
but seldom seen.
Mr.. Donnell says that the freak was
with two ordinary deer and had it not
have been for this he would not have
shot it as he would not have known
it to be deer. 1t presented very
striking appearance with its snow
white coat The carcass of the deer
was sent to Portland Friday night to
an expert taxidermist for mounting.

An Old One Recalled.

The fact that an Irish story, though
trite, is always pat, was illustrated
yesterday, when District Attorney
Reeves told this anecdote:
Some people object to releasing pris-
oners on tloater because of the fact
that the renegades are turned loose
upon other communities. That re-
minds me of the Irishman who, after
reaching America, was full of home
sick brag, in which nothing in America
even approached things of similar
variety in Ireland. In speaking of the
bees of the ould sod he grew especially
roseate and said:
'WhOy, tn baze in that country is
twice as big as in this. Indade, they're
bigger than that. They're as big as
tn shape We have in this country"
Bees as big as Sheep said his In

of hives do they have to keep them

Any man having large one hundred
acre fruit farm with no children on 1t
should get in touch with Mr.. and Mrs.
John Shandrow, of South Haven,
Mich, and learn how to make 1t bios
som with Juvenile gladness. This
worthy couple came to the conclusion
that fruit farm of such dimensions
should raise something else besides
peaches and grapes. Here was large
farm going to waste so far as child cul.
ture was concerned. Not an urchin
roamed its broad acres or climbed its
green trees or thrust his bare toes in its
fertile soil. In the matter of children
while city tenements and orphan
asylums teemed with youngsters
whose natures were being dwarfed and
perverted by lack of contact with
green fields and country air. Instead
Of kidnapping the children Of neighbor-
ing farmers Mr.. and Mrs. Shandrow
hit upon the sensible idea of applying
to the Smith Founding Hospital at
Minneapolis. asking 1t to send them
several children for summers out
ing, with the privilege of choosing
from them a boy for adoption. In re.
spouse there came a consignment of
twenty-five bright, rosy-cheeked
youngsters, the entire visible supply Of
children over 3 years old. OF course
this was more than the farmer bar
gained for, but the more he saw of the
children the more undecided he was as
to which one to adopt. The more he
| saw of them the better he liked the
| idea Of children on the farm. He and
his good wife finally solved the prob
| lem by adopting the entire collection
of youngsters, and the Smith Found
lings' Home is thus bereft of nearly its
entire Juvenile population. There's
plenty of room and plenty to eat for
twenty-five children on hundred-acre
fruit farm. They don't bring as much
in the market as chickens and calves
and peaches. but their value to society
and the State after few years on the
fruit farm will be hard to measure.
We commend the example of this
thrifty fruit farmer to the owners Of
hundreds of acres that never resound
with the shouts of youngsters.
