gram was given suitable to the occa-
sion, The ladies of Oregon City en-
tertai led the pioneers of Clackamas

with musical features the event was
made very great pleasure to tho
pioneer men and women present and
very interesting to the general aud.
fence.
To observe pioneer and historical
day for Josephine county would be
commendable move on tho part OF the
Grants Pass Womans Club The
pioneers of this county arc now too
few in number and too aged to be able
to maintain for themselves pioneers
association, yet they would greatly
appreciate an annual reunion at an
evening on which they should be the
guests of honor and be entertained by
a program that would bear on the
days and stirring events when they
were enduring the hardships and the
dangers in founding homes in Rogue
River Valley. 1t IL we'll that we of

TO SELL TIMBER
ON FOREST RESERVES
Government to Sell Mature Trees.
Protect Youns Growth and
Replant Waste Section.

Information comes from Washington
that the mature timber on the Nation
al forest reserves is to be offered for
sale. This announcement is in line
with the declared purpose of the De-
partment of Agriculture to develop
the National forest reserves by use.
The restriction formerly laid upon the
export of timber from the states in
which the forest reserves were located
has been removed, and the law now
places no limitation on the shipment
of timber grown on any forest reserve
except those in the state Of Idaho and
the Black Hills Reserve in South
Dakota The effect of this change in
the law and the declared policy of the
Department of Agriculture, is that
the timber on the reserves may now
be cut and disposed of to the highest
bidder. On many of the reserves
there are great quantities Of mature
timber. and on some Of them the
facilities for getting 1t out at rea-
sonable cost are excellent. The
Forest Service, which has charge Of
the administration OF the reserves, is
anxious to begin the cutting of this
mature timber as soon as possible,
and it is prepared to consider offers
from lumbermen who wish to under
take such operations.
1t il perhaps we'll to call attention
to the fact that this announcement
does not mean that the forest reserves
are going to Le devastated under
authority Of the Government. On
the contrary. the distinct and definite
purpose of the Forest Service is to
improve the reserves by utilizing the
material that is now fit for lumber,
In doing so, 1t will also provide for
the reproduction of the forest and the
restocking of those areas upon which
forest conditions are defective. Work
of this kind has been successfully
carried on for some years in the Black
Hills Forest Reserve, and has been
begun with the greatest promise OF
success on the lands of the Chippewa
Indians, in northern Minnesota, from
which it is proposed to create another
National reserve.
The public in general, and lumber
men in particular, will, be interested
to know that in this last case the re.
strictions imposed by the Forester
have in no way hampered the lumber
ing operations. Timber sold at pub.
lie sale, with full knowledge of these
restrictions, brought higher prices
than were ever obtained for white and
Norway pine in the same region,
and the slash has been burned and
got out of the way at cost of about
l2 cents per thousand feet board
measure.
The supervisor Of each forest re-
serve is authorized to receive applica
tions for the right to cut timber; in
tending purchasers should commu
nicate with him, not with the De
partment at Washington.

SUFFICIENT FUNDS

The fears expressed by some that
the $4,000 appropriated by the Leg.
islature to defray the expenses of the
county election, seem to be ground.
less. As a matter of fact there is good
reason to believe that only half the
sum appropriated will be necessary.
The last county election cost the Ter
ritory $7144.65, and out of this amount
should be deducted the fees the can.
didates pay, which left the actual ex.
pense at $4.644.65.
II has furthermore been found that
added experience has enabled the au.
thorities to reduce election expenses
from year to year. In the 1902 election
when there were 60 precincts, the ex.
pense was $10,9S1. In the 1903 coun.
ty election s7,144 was spent, there be-
Ing sixty precincts. Finally the cleo.
ton last year, although there were SO
precincts, cost only $S,7S3.

RECALLING" PUBLIC OFFICIALS
lChicago Daily News.l


In 1902 the people Of Los Angeles
embarked on new experiment in mu-
nicipal government. They secured a
charter amendment providing that the
holder of any elective office may be
removed at any time by the electors
qualified to vote for the successor of
such incumbent" All that is necessary
under this recall" system Is that rs
per cent of the voters file request
asking for the obnoxious officials re-
moval. A special election is then or
dered at which the voters may decide
either to continue him in office or to
supplant him with new man.
Last fall some citizens of the Sixth
Ward of Los Angeles became dissat.
isfied for a number of reasons with
their Alderman, ]. p. Davenport. They

CT the kind had been done in the

ish the interest already shown IN the
device, especially In Wisconsin and
some other states. On its face the
ability to WELD such power over an
elective official affords an easy and ef
fective way OF compelling obedience to
the popular bidding. Whether the pos.
session of this power would not lead
to carelessness In the original selec.
ton Of candidates and keep officials
in state of timorous subsection to
passing whims and the appeals OF dem.
agogues is a question worthy of serious
consideration. No doubt large part
of the voting public would prefer the
policy of exercising scrupulous care to
get the right men in the first place and
then permitting them some indepen.
dence OF judgment in saying how the
popular will should be put into exc.
cution.
