FORESTS IN ARID BELT.
Forestry Department Making Trees
Grow in UnravorabIe Places.

Reclaiming the barren sandhills of
the west with forest cover, to supply
timber when there is a dearth of it, is
one of the more striking of the i'm
portant forest planting projects of the
forest service.
-Four of the national forest reserves
have been established in the non-agri-
cultural region with the express pur-
pose of getting firm grasp on meth
ods which will overcome natural diff
culties and set up object lessons for
the benefit of the people. Some of
these artificial reserves have respond
ed so well to careful treatment that
hundreds of thousands of seedlings
have been planted out and millions
more are being raised in the nurseries
for other reserves.
The semi-arid conditions of the re-
gion necessarily restrict the selection
of trees. Right choice of species, the
crux of forest planting, generally, is
here especially decisive. BY its aid,
together with right planting methods,
and right care of the plantation. q
trecess region, one, therefore, In
which wood is scarce and highly
valuable commodity, can be made to
produce useful woods, and at cost
so slight as to satisfy good business
Judgment. Thus on a light sand sur
face, whose only cover is wild grass
and weds, a merchantable forest crop
is to be grown.

FOR CHEAPER TELEGRANIS.
Congressman S. W. Smith Present.
Telegraph Issue to Congress.

Congressman Samuel w. Smith of
Michigan, who has pending a bill in
the house to force a reduction OF tel
egraph rates throughout the country,
says there is not the shadow of a
doubt that If the telegraph companies
would use the modern ideas and in
ventions which have been perfected,
they could largely cut down the prices
now charged for the transmission OF
kilograms.
He made one speech on the sub
ject during the last session OF con-
gress, and is preparing to make an
other next winter. and since congress
adjourned, while looking for material
bearing on the subject, he made the
discovery that Hon. Don NJ. Dickin-
son of Michigan, while postmaster
general under Cleveland. held the
same views that Mr.. Smith is now ex-
plotting.

PoRTLAND's JUVENILE FARM.
Idle Youngsters VIII Be Taught to
Labor

Portland boys and girls who are not
given proper advantages at home be-
cause their parents cannot or will not
become useful men and women ON II
farm that several officers of the ju-
venile Improvement association are
planning to secure, says a Portland
paper. Children deemed worthy by
the Judge of the juvenile court are to
be sent to this farm, where the
youths will not only be clothed and
fed, but taught the common school
branches and farming and gardening.
This farm is to be located on some
interurhan car line running into Port
land. The tract of land will consist
of about 500 acres, and a large home.
with plenty of outbulldings, will be
erected. Here the boys and girls
whose parents are allowing them to
grow up in idleness and crime will be
sent, Gs well as poor children who
cannot be properly cared for at their
homes on account of poverty. The su-
perintendent of the home will be an
officer of the juvenile court.
Each child is to be given certain
work to do and taught just how to do
it properly and thoroughly. A large
tract of the best land on the farm is to
be set aside for gardening. Each boy,
and some of the girls, will be allotted
little piece of ground. just as large
as can he carefully attended to by
them, garden seed will be furnished
and the youngsters put to work. All
vegetables that have a ready market
| in the city will be grown.
The products of these little gardens
will be sold and the proceeds turned
over tc the toilers. In this way the
boys and girls will be able to start J
small bank account and to buy little
things that are not provided by the
home. But all of the children will be
required to toll in the garden, hay
fields, orchard and dairy of the home
which, it is planned, will raise all it!
own provisions; the girls will have
little of this outdoor work to do, bu
will learn to sew, cook, churn, iror
and keep house.
Those who have the project on foo
say that If possible a superintendent
will be secured who is a teacher anC
whose wife can also instruct the chill
dren in reading spelling, arithmetic
grammar, United States history, geog
raphy and penmanship.

The most important decision rem
dered in the supreme court recently
was handed down yesterday by As
sociate Justice Moore at Salem, re-
verslng Judge Hanna in the case of
L. j. and f. Wallace appellants,
against the officers of Josephine coun-
ty, the effect of which is to declare
unconstitutional and invalid the law
which exempts from taxation $500
worth of personal property. The text
of the decision is as follows:
This is a suit to enjoin the asses
sor, the county board of equalization,
the county court and the sheriff of
Josephine county from allowing GER
tain exemption from taxation.
1t Is alleged in the complaint, inter
ALA that the plaintiffs are residents
OF New Hampshire; that they are the
owners In fee OF $50 acres of land
In Josephine county. Oregon, describ-
ing the premises; that the Officers
board and court, etc, referred to are
allowing and threaten to continue
permitting to each householder Of
such county an exemption from taxa
tion of certain personal property OF
the value of 5000 or less, pursuant to
an act of the legislative assembly of
this state, amending section 3039, b..
e. c. Comp, which statute violates
section / article TX of the constitution
of this state, thereby imposing on
plaintiffs and all other nonresident
taxpayers of that county, for whose
benefit this suit is prosecuted without
making them parties on account of
the number thereof, an unequal rate
of taxation to their injury.
"a demurrer to the complaint on
the ground that 1t did not state facts
sufficient to cntitle the plaintiffs to
the relief sought having been sus-
tanned, the suit was dismissed, and
they appeal.
THE statute, In pursuance of which
the partial release from the eXaction
which the law usually demands from
personal property. to support the state
and county governments, is, as far as
/ involved herein, as follows:
Text of Exemption Clause.

CONGESTION IN FRISCO.
Seven Thousand UnlOaded Cars Now
Standing on Side Tracks Waiting for

Warehouses.
D. S. Shull, Short Line conductor
who has just returned from San
Francisco, where he spent his vaca
tion of three weeks, was in the city
this morning and says that because
of all the large warehouses being de-
stroyed in the Bay City, there are now
over 1000 unloaded cars of freight
standing on the side tracks. awaiting
for the owners of the freight TO un-
load it.
1t is absolutely impossible for the
owners to secure warehouse room and
they think the goods are safer in the
cars than piled on open platforms and
they refuse to unload.
All the available cars of the South
ern Pacific company in that vicinity
arc tied up by this condition and
there is no telling when it will be re-
lieved. Work is now progressing on
number of large warehouses, but
the need of the cars in the fruit and
harvest seasons is urgent and the COM
panies insist that they be unloaded
without delay.

swine, and the tools, implements, ap-
paratus. team, vehicle, harness or IL
brary necessary to enable any person
to carry on his trade, occupation or
profession by which each person earns
his or her living to the amount of
$500, the articles to be selected by
such householder; provided, however,
that when the assessed valuation of
the personal property above enumer-
ated shall amount to less than $500,
then only such amount as the total OF
such property herein enumerated shall
Oe exempt from taxation
"It will be remembered that section
| of article TX of our constitution lin
.ts the power of the legislative assem-
bly, to exempt property from taxation
to that to be used for municipal, lit
orary, educational. scientific, religious
or charitable purposes.
"It is argued by defendants coun-
sci that the exemption of property
from taxation, as evidenced by the act
under consideration, Is a remission by
the legislative assembly of part OF
the public burden for charitable pur-
poses and therefore within the limits
of the power conferred. The exemp-
ton Is evidently a valuable donation
but It Is certainly not made for a
charitable purpose.
Act Not Valid.
I'VE believe that the clause of the
constitution prohibits the Legislative
assembly from granting to the house
holders of the state the exemption
from taxation of the property attempt
ed by the statute, which though II
force when the organic law took eff
feet was Inconsistent Herewith anC
hence repealed by the adoption of th'
constitution, and its attempted re
enactment Is void as repugnant there
| to- on the ground that the rate OF as
sessment and taxation is not uniform
1 or equal as between householders o
/ the state and non-residents.
"It follows that the decree of tn
! lower court is reversed, and as ther
! IS no controversy about the defendant
as officers of Josephine county, at
/ tempting to enforce, the statute, de
cree will be entered here perpetuall
enjoining them from allowing the ex
emptions mentioned"

Alfred Peterson, a harvest hand

Shipwrcckcd Together.
Thirty years ago Peterson and Bjor-
klund, with their parents, were fellow
passengers on a sailing vessel that
was wrecked off the coast of Maine.
Peterson was then 10 years of age,
and his friend was 10, but the former
was large and robust for one of his
years, and he succeeded in clinging
to part of the rigging attached to a
mast. He also succeeded in rescuing
his boy companion from drowning
and used a rope to attach them both
to the mast.
After floating in the seas for three
days and nights they We're driven
ashore. Peterson cared for his charge
as well as he could, and. leaving him
in a sheltered spot, he sought aid.
Tramping 20 miles inland, he arrived
at settlers cottage, secured food
and returned to Bjorklund. They
finally reached a small village where
Peterson paid for the care of his
friend.

In time they became separated Pc

from him, but Bjorklund amassed a

years to locate him, and the effort
has succeeded only after his old friend
had been dead over year. AS sub

the fortune, a draft has been SEN
