A BIG TREE.

What is really one of the striking at
fractions at the Newport beach, but
one that is seldom heard of, is what is
called the "Big Trees" The latter are
giant frs that tower into the skies from
wooded and shady glen that runs
gently back from the beach at Big
Creek four miles north of Newport and
form a scene in which nature is obser-
we'd in one Of her most radiant moods.
The striking feature is the various and
unusual forms of tree life at the head
OF which is an immense fir that five feet
above the ground measures more than
3S feet in circumference. 1t is nearly
Ii feet in diameter which means that
it is 81 thick through that lying on it's
side it would be several feet higher
than the ceiling of most residences.
An arch way could be cut through its
base that would easily permit team
and wagon to be driven through. 1t is
not likely that cross cut saw was ever
ihduo lODS euOugu W SlW III uOWn. Ii
felled, Its stump would be so big that
an ordinary man would have to take
four or five steps to walk across it. A
54-inch log is a good big one, which
means one four foot and half in diam
eter. A log cut from the base of this
one would be nearly three times as
thick.
1t is 125 to 150 feet to the first limbs
on this leviathan tree. A section of it
IA feet long would make 10000 feet of
lumber. 1t takes good sized 16 foot
log to make 1000 feet. The lumber
that this one tree would make at $40
per thousand, and some Of it would be
worth $25 to $50 per thousand, would
aggregate, 81 800. There are many 9th
er monster trees in the locality. Few
If any fir trees on earth are larger than
the one above referred to. A spruce in
the Nehalem is said to have diameter
OF 10 feet.-Corvallis Times.
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1906-02-10

The first OF a series of circulars to
be sent out by the secretary of state
TO the newspapers, in accordance
with legislative provision to that
effect, have just been received. The
purpose Of these circulars is to have
the newspapers repeatedly call at
tention to the fact that the question
OF calling convention for the pur-
pose of making general revision OF
the state constitution is TO be sub
mitted at the election to be held on
the first Monday in April. 1t is
quite probable that the voters OF the
state will favor the calling Of such
convention, but with the past ex-
perience OF this state and other
states in mind, it is by no means
certain that the work of the conven-
tion thus authorized will meet final

May Change Timber Laws.

Congress is considering change
10 the existing timber laws, and
sometime during the present ses.
sion the timber and stone act is
likely to be repealed. In its place
a law will probably be enacted
authorizing the sale Of public
timber at something like it's real
value. The law as | I now stands is
considered unjust and vicious for
the reason that the amount OF tim
Der on q claim or actual value from
location or other points of advan-
tage does not govern its price. One
hundred and sixty acres OF timber
away up in the Rocky Mountains
cost just as much as the valuable
timber lands OF Oregon. The same
price that now prevails could be
obtained for the poor timber OF
some districts, while the splendid
forests OF Oregon would bring a
price easily double or triple that at
which claims are now being patent
ed, states the Crook County (Ore.)
Journal.
The money received from the sale
OF timber lands is the main source
of revenue for the prosecution Of
government reclamation projects,
and for this reason Western men will
not consent to q simple repeal OF the
law, but will insist on substitute
which will provide for the sale. Of
mature timber on public lands. so
that the revenue for the continuance
OF reclamation work will not be d.
minished. Under existing laws the
government is selling timber from
the forest reserves, but this money
goes into the federal treasury and is
not used on reclamation works.
There is being made the demand for
q law which will authorize the sale
Of mature timber from public lands,
the title OF the land to remain in the
government. Ia support OF this
proposed law its advocates, point out
that the destruction of<the timber
will be properly controlled and
make the matter OF reforestration OF
the land feasible.

1t should be kept in mind that
in opposing the reduction OF duties
on sugar and tobacco to DO shipped
from the Philippines, the Republi-
cans Of Michigan very we'll recog-
nize just whom such o reduction
would most favor. These Phil
ippine products are purchased by
and prepared for the American
market by the tobacco and sugar
combinations, or trusts. and the
reduced duty would mean to them
increased profits. Millions OF dollars
have been lost to the United States
treasury through the reduction on
Cuban products, but not cent has
been gained by the American con-
sumers. And this Cuban expert
ence will be repeated in case the
trusts shall again be favored with
lowered duties on their raw material
from the Philippines.

1t should be kept in mind that the
provision for party enrolment on
the first Monday in April is not d.
rectly connected with the question
as to whether or not the primary
election system shall be adopted in
Michigan, or as TO the extent of the
use OF mat system in making nomi-
nations. But all voters who desire
to vote for or against adoption OF
the primary system on the second
Tuesday in June must be enrolled.
Therefore all voters, regardless of
party and without reference to their
views as to the final adoption of the
primary voting system, should have
their names enrolled as the law pro-
vides, on the first Monday in April.
