THINGS DOING IN RE
GOVERNMENT LAND


nian from Washington, dated yester
day, says:
Within few days the bureau o
forestry will sbumit to Secretary
Hitchcock the final and definite re.
commentator that four forest re.
serves be created in eastern Oregon.
embracing an aggregate area of -four
million acres or more. These are
the Blue Mountain reserve, WallOws
reserve, WslIa Walla. or La Grande
reserve. which extends into Washing
ton and the Joseph river or Ches-
minus reserve. The buerau Of
forestry, since the withdrawal Of
these vast tracts, has made detailed d
examination of each quarter section
and knows definitely the character OF
each subdivision. In recommending
the creation of the permanent forest
reserves, the bureau has drawn the
boundary lines very irregularly, so rs
to eliminate. IA far as practicable,
all agricultural land and all lands
hich have passed into private own
ership.
Before recommending the creation
of the reserves, Chief Forester Pin.

nifty for frau lulent or unfair opera.
tions, and believes he has so drawn
the reserve boudaries rs to practi-
cally prevent the creation of hase for
lieu selections on any considerable
scale. Those lands lying around the
outer limits of the Blue Mountas in
which we're apparently
entered n year or more ago for
speculative purposes, are thrown
outside of the permanent reserve re-
commended, and will not become
base lands.

COLORED SCHOOL.
CLOSING EXERCISES
HELD FRIDAY NIGHT.
s. FL. Archer, of Roger William s
University, Delivers Address.

The commencement exercises of the
Colored Public School were held Fri
day night at the public school building
In Macedonia.
The exercises were highly creditable
and the white persons who wit
messed them said they would have done
credit to any school in the state white
or black. The address TO the graduates
was delivered by S. H. Archer, pro-
fessor in the Roger Williams Univer-
sitv, at Nashville. He delivered splen,
did talk (which was filled with truths
and sensible advice. He said the real
question would be solved by the negro
himself by practicing friendly rela-
tfons with his hest friends-the white
man of the South. The Southern
people, he said, were the best friends
the negro had. They had spent $3.50,
600 900 in the last thirty years in edu
eating the colored race, and the negroes
ought to appreciate it. By cultivating
the virtues of honesty and industry
and fitting themselves to be good
citizen and a good neighbOr they
would do more to solve the race ques-
ton and to uplift their race than any
thing else they can do. The trouble
with the negro, he said, is that he tries
to make doctor or lawyer before he
makes man. He emphasized the
religious feature of life, and said that
was the most important and the crown
ing virtue of ALTO love God and keep
his commandments. If they would
only do that, all else would be added.
