The Oregon Idea
OF
FOREST
RESERVES

, An organized fight is to be made
by the Livestock Association against |
forest reserves. Secretary Martin, of
the national association, is urging all
members to prepare forEigorous action
at the meeting to be held soon in Port
land. He finds grevious abuses of stock
interests have followed widespread re-
serves, that stock are being crowded
from mountain ranges, that Secretary
Hitchcock and his agents are impracti-
cal in many instances.
This is truly interesting. When the
mining interests of Sumpter forecasted
this condition of affairs with regard to
mining, and sought defeat of the re-
serve in the Blue mountains, they
found livestock interests arrayed with
the Washington theorists. The State
Wool Growers Association indorsed the
interior department, asked congress
men to urge the Blue mountain reserve,
and stepped ~jauntily over the opposition
of mining men. T.
p Stockmen believed then that this re-
serve business was especially for their
benefit. They foresaw the time when
the great mountains of the West would
be set aside from all industries save
that of grazing, and they uttered many
joyful amens whenever Newell, Pinchot
or other of the teeorists advanced a new
argument for reserves.
1t was then that mining men said
their business was jeopardized. They
pointed out where it was impractical to
secure the fuel and timbers required
for mine operation. The department of
the interiors special agents finally adj
mitted the fault, but quickly assured
would be adopted. Then mining men
said they did not want to do business
under snch conditions. They did not
want the time to come when govern
ment agents would have to be appealed
to before they could transact ordinary
business. Briefly, they feared rec
tape, feared government supervision Of
individual business affairs, feared the
meddling hand of the school theorist il
practical business.
Mining men were scorned for thi:
lack of confidence in the government
officials. But a change has come
Stockmen, while boosting ~valiantly fol
reserves, and being largely instrnmen
tai in permitting %, 900, 900 acres o
Oregon's GO, 900, 600 to be set aside iron
development, find red tape is killing
them off also. Those theorists in Wash
ington have conceived at least on
practical, pointed idea, and that is
sheep destroy forests more ~effectuall
by trampling tender growths than all o
the mining interests and even lumbe
operators, of the average region. Sec
rotary Hitchcock and his agents ar
ruling sheep out. Here is where tn
livestock men have their kick. 1t at
fects them. They were willing to lie
all other industries go to the demnitlol
bowwows before, but are getting int
line with the people now.
With livestock men fighting the re
serves, with mining men always op
posed to them, with lumber operator
the same, and with most of the practl
cal farmers taking like : position,
would be very difficult for even Specli
Agent Langille to make his usual repol
of all classes in favor of the Blu
Mountain withdrawal.

saved BY His Tail.

There was mighty excitement at
the railway hospital this afternoon,
when one Of the inmates happened
TO look ont the window. saw a bear
leisurely taking his way across the
field. A rush was made for the room
Of one Of the nurses, who possessed
the only gun In the institution. The
nurse waa awakened. the gun was pro
cured and loaded and d party Of sports
led BY DIR. Shaw made ready To start
after that bear. One OF the group
remarked that animal has a longer
tail than | ever saw on d bear The
bear came closer and the watchers
began TO cogitate upon the comm.
drum when Is a bear not a bear?'
In the present instance the answer
might be when he Is d big, black
dog.
Sure enough II was a dog and his
long tall saved him from getting
shot. He was big and black and
