A Good Citizen Gone.

Victor Egly, Jr., died in this city
this am. at about 3 O'Clock from an
aneurism. He had suffered for
several years with the disease and
had awaited himself of the best
medical skill in the country, but to
no real good.
Mr. Egly was born in New Or
leans, La. January y, 1860. He
came with his parents to Matamo-
ros in 1865 and a few years later
the family settled in Brownsville,
where he has made his home ever
since. He worked for quite awhile
in the garrison as chief engineer,
but since then has engaged chiefly
in the ranch business.
He leaves as immediate family
his wife and five children. The
funeral will be held this afternoon
at 4 o'clock from the residence of
his father. Mr.. Victor Egly, Sr.
He was an Odd Fellow in good
standing.
Mr.. Egly was man of fine traits
of character and was respected by
everyone for his qualities as citi-
zen. His friends were numbered by
his acquaintance and he will be
missed greatly by all.
THE HERALD extends sincere con-
dolence to the bereaved family.

At present the weather is cool and

Mr. Philips, the proprietor of the
Hotel Leland is the right man in a

and congenial to his guests.
People are cutting their last hay
crop. which is good. Cattle on the
range are good and fat. Our butcher
furnishes plenty of good, fat beef.
Lawrence Espy, our village black
smith, has all of the work he can do.
Business of all kinds is good. The
Dewdrop, also has its part of the
public patronage.
Fires in the. hills have been raging.
People have lad to turn out to fight
the fires to protect their property.
Some people here set fires to burn off
the range to kill out the brush, re.
gardless of their neighbor's interests.
Some quartz miners .have come out
from Whisky creek and Mt Rueben.
They report striking good ledges on
that mountain. The deeper down the
better the ledge. More wagon roads
will be built in the near future to
connect the Gold Bug mining road
with other mines, as parties will
erect plants in the near future as the
lodges warrant the erection of stamp
mills. The miners say that mountain
exceeds the famous Greenback ledge.
So, with the encouragements present,
the properties will be worked in the
near future, as all developed ledges
warrant the putting up of mills
Some have years ago put up mills,
then perhaps the mine would be a
failure. Now, men of means are de.
yeloping the ledges before any mills
are built.

The development of Southwestern
Oregon. retarded through all the years
by isolation, has, it is believed, some
prospect Of a beginning. The Coos
Bay, Roseburg q Salt Lake Railroad
has in process of construction a spur
that will penetrate to Coos Bay, thus
bringing the practically undeveloped
resources of a vast region In touch
with tide water. That the coast sec
tions and the inland counties of
Southeastern Oregon have been so
long without railway connection with
the outside world, is passing strange
to those who have knowledge of the
resources that await development
in Tillamook, Coos, klamath, Crook
and Lake counties, Lumber, fish and
coal abound in the coast counties,
while the stock, wool and dairy in
terests of all are practically limitless
when once railway communication
and the enterprise that follows 1t turn
the vast possibilities of these regions
into growing industries. There is no
portion Of the United States yet uneN-
plotted by commerce that promises
more substantial returns TO enterprise
and investment than do these counties
of Oregon. II may be hoped, Indeed,
that the commercial attention, long
their due has SGT toward them IN
earnest. --Orogonian.

MINING MEN ORGANIZE
Oregon State Mining Associa
ton Formed.

The Oregon State Mining Associa
tion was organized on Monday in
Portland, Chamber of Commerce
building, under the most favorable
auspices. The purposes of the organ
ization are to afford the mining men
Of Oregon an opportunity to consult
with each other and exchange views
on matters pertaining generally to
mining interests in this section. The
following named gentlemen were
elected officers Of the association:
J. F. Wickham, Of Galice, Or,
president.
J. II. Fisk, of Portland, vice-presi-
dent
l.. Keizur, of Baker City, second
vice-president.
A. l.. Morris, of Portland secre-
tary.
J. Frank Watson. of Portland,
treasurer.
The organization of this association
has been talked about for some
months in Oregon mining circles
and so far has received the hearty
approval Of all mining men who have
been approached on the subject. 1t is
generally conceded there is much to
be done in the matter Of Legislation
in the state of Oregon with regard to
the mining interests, and aside from
this there are many other phases of
the industry that will profit by con-
sul'ation among representative min
ing men in the various districts,
which will be followed by cooper
ative action in the lines decided up

A pathetic story Of suicide, marked
with ingrained honesty, comes from
San Francisco. An old lady, evident
ly feeling that there was nothing
more in life for her, set about
Systematically to end her existence
with a minimum Of bother and trouble
to her fellow creatures. At the
crematory she inquired the least cost
Of cremating a body and set aside that
amount of money. She asphyxiated
herself with gas, for the cost Of
which she left dollar for the land
lady. She gave the coroner fee Of
81 to remove her body to a certain
undertaking establishment and left
also a few dollars to those whose duty
it would be TO carry the body. All
these amountj were found sealed in
separate envelopes with directions as
to their use. In her evident effort to
avoid causing trouble to others, the
case Is very unusual among suicides

ONE FOURTH OF OREGON
Now Sacrificed 10 the Forest Re-
Serve Mania

1t is no exaggeration to say that
one-fourth Of the land area Of Oregon
has been segregated, by order Of the
secretary of the interior, and is today
beyond the reach of the settler and
the homoseekor The foregoing fig
ures are srongest testimony. There
are, in effect, in Oregon at the present
time, ten distinct Withdrawals made
for forestry purposes, on recommen-
dation of the bureau of forestry, un-
der Clifford Pinchot. These with
drawals contain approximately 464
full townships, or TO- $50, $50 acres
Add to this the present area Of the
Cascade reserve, 4,436, 800 acres, ana
the figures closely approach one.fourth
of the area Of the state. The states
area is 81, p, 44O acres. Unfortunate.
ly, the exact acreage Of the forest re-
serve reserve Withdrawals are not
definitely known, but the figures are
conservative. For all practical in
tents an1 purposes, it may be said
that one-fourth Of the area Of the
state is either now included in a per.
manent forest reserve, or is temper
arily Withdrawn from all settle
ments and disposal, pending investi-
cations to determine what portion of
the Withdrawal lands shall be con-
verted into permanent reserves

CHANGES IN THE COUNTRY
Old Timers Remark Difference
From Early Days.

Some Of the pioneer citizens who
were here Thursday made some state
ments as to the fora Of this county
40 to 30 years ago that will be surpris-
ing to many. They say that there is
more timber and brush now than then
and the area OF wild vegetation is nc
tually greater The country back Of
Phoenix, which is now largely
covered with brush and saplings of
good size for fuel, is said to have
been open and parklike with big pine
trees. On most all the foothills they
say there is more vegetation now than
when they came to the valley. They
think there is n better natural condi-
tion to conserve tho water tnan then
and evidently do not look upon eX-
tensiyo forest reservation as desirable,
or at all necessary. That is the
opinion we received from two or three
very intelligent old gentlemen who
came here 30 years ago and are
among our foremost citizens today.
