Sir Horace Is contemplating the erection

Operations Are Successful.

Mrs. William Witt who was
operated upon for the removal of an
abdominal tumor made a splendid re-
covery and was able TO leave the
Southern Oregon General Hospital
for her home last Sunday. The opera
tion was both difficult and hazardous,
but she rallied we'll and steadily
gained strength and there is every
likelihood that she will now enjoy
her former good health. The opera
tion was performed by DR.. Lough-
ridge assisted by DR.. Findley and the
hospital staff and being the first i'm
portant case in the Hospital her fine
recovery is compliment to both the
skill of the surgeons and of the
nurses.
Mrs. F. L. Bayard, who was
operated on by DIR. Loughridge has
so far recovered that she was able to
leave the Hospital Monday for her
home near Leland, with every GER
tainty of regaining her health. The
third patient was operated on Satur-
day at the Hospital by DR.. Lough-
ridge, assisted by DIR. Findley and
the hospital staff and very satisfactory
progress for recovery is being made
by the woman.

SUPERVISOR BARTRUM
ADVISES ST0CKMEN
States GovernmentHas No Tr av
elins Official Collecting
Grazing Chnrses.

Mention was made in the Courier
Of last week about two alleged govern
ment officials being on Williams creek
pretending to be in the forest service
and out TO make contracts with stock
men for range privileges on govern
ment land A marked copy OF the
paper was sent TO s O. Bartrum, Of
Roseburg, forest supervisor for the
Cascade reserve and Crater Lake
national park and in reply he sends
the subjoned article that is herewith
published. Mr.. Bartrum fully ex-
plains the law governing pasturage on
Forest reserves. As stated by him the
government has no men out collecting
grazing fees and persons who claim
10 be such are frauds working a swim
die on the stockmen.
The following is Forest Supervisor
Bartrum's s communication in full

culture, Forest service.

Editor Courier Grants Pass, Ore
gon: Dear Sir
noticed an article in your paper OF
February o, 1906, wherein it was al
legged that parties in Josephine county
were representing themselves to be
government employees, aud were at
tempting to collect fees from stockmen
who Craze their stock on government
iaud,
In regard to the above, | wish to
state that there IL no law requiring
the payment of fee for the grazing
Of live stock on government land out
side of the forest reserves, and the
government has no representatives
soliciting the payment of same in
Oregon.
In forest reserves where grazing IL
allowed reasonable fee will be
charged this fee is for the purpose
OF helping to maintain the necessary
protection and conservative use of the
grazing lands In forest reserves, 80
that this resource can be conserved
and perpetuated, and even its capacity
increased for future needs Before
payment is required for the grazing
privilege in forest reserve, applica.
tion for that privilege must be made
TO the forest supervisor of the reserve
in which grazing is desired. When
the supervisor approves said apphca-
tion, the applicant is notified by him
to that effect, and is requested to sub
init the amount of the grazing fee, TO
the Special Fiscal Agent, Washing
ton. ID. O. Thus IL can be seen that
government forest officers in the field,
have no authority to collect or other.

stock in forest reserve
Very truly yours,
