Washington, August l5.-The
lnerior department has suddenly de
cided to restore to entry about 345.-
600 acres of land In eastern Oregon,
now included within the forest re-
serve Withdrawals. About 325, 900
acres lies around the exterior bound
aries of the Blue Mountain with
drawal; the remaining 30. 600 along
the borders of the Wallowa with.
drawal.
The decided change In the policy
Of tho department IL largely ascribed
to a very pointed letter from Gov
ernor Chamberlain which was re-
ceived only yesterday. In this letter
Oregon's chief executive takes issue
with tho department for its indecision
or ITS aversion To action In forestry
matters, and insists that one nr two
things be dune, either that forest
reserves be immed lately created, and
the surplus lands res0rted to entry.
or that the lands so far found unfit
for forestry purposes be thrown
open for entry, leaving the actual
creation of the reserves for later
day. His protest made 1t plain that
In his opinion the departments
policy of delay IL injurinR the state,
interfering with settlement, aud is
all In all, indefensible. 1t is NO
exsRReration to say that Governor

excitement than has been witnessed

aud brought about such activity
among the clerks az IL without pre-
cedent. Since that letter WAS re-
ceived the department has been un-
able to act with enough expedition.

nounces that the Mountain Copper
company has completed arrangements
60 build new works and remove Its
smelling operations from the town
of Keswick, In Shasta county. to a
point near Martinez, OH San Fran
cisco bay, says the Butte Inter
Mountain. The action WAS made
necessary on account Of the Iitiga-
tion In which the company was In
volved because Of damage done to
vegetation In the vicinity OF Keswick,
from the fumes Of the smelter. The
Journal adds that the completion OF
arrangements for removal have
brought to the people of Shasta
county q realization OF what they
have accomplished. Keswick. with
n population Of more than 1000,
was entirely dependent upon the
operation Of the company, and will

Pointed letter From Governor Chamberlain
Said to Have Turned
the Trick.

Forestry bureau. which definitely
recommended the creation OF tho
Blue Mountain forest reserve and
Wallowa Withdrawals had been found
unfit for reserve purposes. The
bur eau promptly replied that about
325, 900 acres In the Blue Mountain
Withdrawals we're deemed unsuitable
for permanent reservation, and about
20, 900 acres in the Wallowa with
drawals.
Some of this land Is good only for
grazing; other tracts nre barren and
could not produce trees, while still
other tracts lying In the valleys
along streams which penetrate the
proposed reserve are distinctively
agricultural lands and not desirable
for q reserve. In other words, the
Forestry bureau recommends that oil
public lands included In these with
drawals which are In any way de-
sirable for settlement or entry-ex
cept under the timber land laws---be
restored to the public domain, retain.
ing under withdrawal only those
lands that are valuable for their
timber and essential In the preserva-
tion of the water supply.
The forestry Bureau went further
and recommended that at the time
these lands are restored to entry.
permanent reserves be created. In
recommending the creation OF these
two reserves, the forestry officials
distinctively pointed out the neces-
sity Of drawing the reserve bound
aries so as to exclude all private
holdings, unless II might be few
isolated tracts In the interior. This
recommendation went to the General
Land Office yesterday, In order that
no base could be created for future
lieu selections.

. A Word for the Horse.

How can self respecting men and
women ride behind a horse with its
head reined back as far as it is pos
sib1e to draw it? There are people
in this town who drive nice horses
with the check rein fastened at the
top of the head in such manner as
to draw the head back until the
horses nosesextends. straight out in
the air. Natural movement is there
fore impossible and it is not only a
damage to the horse but a disgrace
to the one who drives it.
Such treatment is cruel in the
extreme and no truly high minded,
fine princip1ed person will do it or
allow it to be done to their horses
or any they have control of. Is
there not a law to prevent or at
least remedy this practice?

eff 'squandered' isn't the proper
word to describe the Use that has
been made Of the money paid in by
taxpayers to be applied on roadwork
what particular term will answer
that purpose? The money is gone;
so are the roads. "-Headless four
columns.
This is hard medicine for the
road supervisors of the county. It
is statement, plain and unequivi-
cal that the road money that has
passed through their hands has been
squandered. Among them are,
Dick Feh1er, Ed Blake, John Mil
ler, Tom Cooper, G. L. Stoneback,
Louis Wentz, Amos Cadwa1der,
W. L. Reed, John Crow and Albert
Zierolf, all republicans. All the
money from the road fund and all
spent on the dollar for dollar plan,
has been spent under the direction
of them and their democratic collea-
CUES among the supervisors. There is
no doubt in the world, but every
cent of it has been judiciously,
economically and wisely spent, but
the statement by the 'sfour col
umns'' is, that it has been "squan-
dered." 1t says, "The money is
gone; so are the roads,"
Apparently the mighty "thing"
over the way, in venting its per
sonal spite against the county
court, is politically butchering not
only Mr.. Jolly, but Dick Feh1er,
Tom Cooper, Ed Blake, Albert
Zierolf, and the other gentlemen
among the supervisors. It kicks
and cuffs them. slaps them and
raps them, and then calls upon
them to stand in."
Fortunately, however, for the
and Mr.. Jolly. nobody
is likely to believe the scurrilous
statements published about them
because when four column polite
al publication has turned loose
responsibility, without
past and without future, it was ex-
pected and designed to utter false
statements and promote. fraud.

WHY EXPERIMENT LONGER?

The election of a state senator
in Benton is for the remaining two
years Of the unexpired term OF
Senator John Daily, resigned. The
senator elected, will not have an
opportunity to participate in the
election of United States senator.
It is most opportune time for
Benton republicans, by aiding in
the election of democrat, to serve
protest to the Legislature against
the enormous state taxes that the
county has to pay. Twenty four
thousand, seven hundred and forty
five dollars is the state tax Benton
had to pay this year, and Isl sum
out of all reason. It is nearly
$4,000 more than is collected for
county purposes this year, fgur-
ing out the rebate. The election
of a democratic senator. especially
one that everybody knows would
set his influence and his vote
against legislative extravaganza, is
a business proposition that mast
certainly appeal with great force
to every tax-paying citizen of the
county, regardless Of political
preferences. Are taxes easy to
pay? Is it notsa fact that many
a man has to borrow money to pay
them? If the thing continues to go
on as it is, if the legislature con-
tinues to be filed with lawyers
rather than taxpaying business
men and farmers. how long will il
be until little Benton county will
have to pay $40, 900 year in state
taxes? Thesum this year is S2417 45|
A few years ago it was about
$40, 900.
