TO the U. s. Geological Survey in regard
to the creation Of the proposed timber
reserve in Josephine and Curry counties,
that the streams Of the district show a
marked diminution, in the flow OF water
on account Of the inroads OF the lumber
man. In The fret place The flow Of
water has not diminished as everyone
familiar with the district knows. The
beft placer season that has occurred in
years is jnst past and. the present water
supply in the streams is better than
that Of past years. In the second place,
even il there had been decrease, 1t
could be only idiotically ascribed ia
timber cutting for no timber has been
cut except on the very outskirts OF the
region OF the watershed. Somebody II
evidently quilting the Washington
officials. II is impossible to produce q
zane or valid reason for the creation
Of this reserve. II every stick Of mer'
chantable timber in the Coast range
were cut of, there would still be q
dense forest left, for the mountains arc
covered with live oak, chinkapin and
trees Of that nature with growtbs ol
young evergreens and underbrush in
quantity. Then, besides, much OF ;hc
region is rough and inaccessible. The
reserve reaches out on all sides, how.
ever, and takes in valuable timber
lands, while including the best mining
districts in Southern Oregon. There il
no question but that the creation Of the
reserve would seriously cripple both the
timber and mining industries in Jose
phine and Curry couulies, II would be
a colossal imposition without any rea
shadow OF necessity to back it up. The
people Of Southern Oregon must sec
that the real conditions are a. least
made plain TO the U 5. Interior de
partment.

The Southern Oregonian of Mcdiord
in its issue Of April 2S contains a
paragraph saying that Grants Pass was
full Of smallpox, that u death had oc.
Cured, and that several men from Sci.
ma had been IN town the Monday before
with the disease and had scattered the
infection broadcast The whole article
was grossly untrue The last case Of
smallpox at the pest house was dis.
charged ON Thursday Since then and
at the present time, there are no cases
in town as far as the health officers
are able 20 ascertain. The report of a
death from this cause was undoubtedly
n dream. As to the men from Selma,
there were, ON the day mentioned,
several citizens OF Selma in town to see
the county officials in regard to estab.
fishing quarantine for certain people
of their district who did not want to
be quarnatined. The men who came in
brought no smallpox with them. The
editor Of the Southern Oregonian
had been in Grants Pass that week and
and had opportunity to learn the truth
OF the matter, but he seems instead to
have picked up some of the Idle gossip
atoat and exploited it for the detri.
ment Of the town

The last smallpox patient at the pest
house was discharged last Thursday
and there is now no case in town as
far as the authorities are able to find
out. The cases have been stringing n
along, few at time, all winter
There was no spread Of the disease
in town at any time and the matter
was well handled by the authorities.
New cases would keep dropping in
from time to time from other points,
just enough to keep up a sequence Of
cases, and so 1t has dragged along for
several months, The authorities have
been prompt, careful and diligent and
the disease has been thoroughly under
control at all times Herbert Smith,
chairman Of the health committee Of
the city council, has devoted a great
deal of time to looking after these
cases, giving part Of every day to
this duty, and his service in this mat
ter has been Of character that should
be appreciated by the city.
