TAKING OF TIMBER LANDS.
Rush Still Continues for Timber i'm
Rlue Mountains.

For some time there has bean a rush
for timber lands in the Blue mountains.
For month or two, more timber land
lockers have been IN Heppner than ever
before known.
A great many claims have been taken
and still there are many more yet vacant
south and southeast of Heppner.
A great many of the claims are being
taken by people who reside outside of
Oregon, coming from Washington,
Idaho and Eastern states.
A few years ago, Oregon timber lands
containing some Of the finest timber in
the world, stood vacant in large tracts
and went begging, but it is different
now.
The rapid denudation of the forests
has caused such demand tor timber
that claims that were formerly con-
sdered worthless are now valuable and
are eagerly sought alter.
A peculiar fact Of the taking of the
timber lands is :that most of the timber
is now owned by people who do not re-
side in this state. The people who were
nearest the timber allowed it to slip
away from them little bv little, and now
it can be realized what they might have
had.
The question of repeating the act OF
Congress making it possible for each
citizen to acquire 160 acres of timber
land, Is being agitated, and the tear that
this act Will be repealed, has had a
tendency to stimulate the taking OF
lands.
Nearly all of the timber taken in this
district is pine and makes good lumber
for building purposes.

KIRK reports an unusual amount of scab
this season, there being much more OF

Shelley had no such objection; his

bread. Sometimes hee ate with his
bread the common raisins which he
bought at small grocers' shops.
