Council Squares" Things.
If they had to attend debates the
city dads determined there should be
others. To square things they issued
invitations to the city officials to at
tend the council chamber debates. The
difference between the Whitman invi-
tation and the councils invitation was
that the latter was like to the kings
it was a command
Hereafter the street commissioner,
sanitary inspector, sewer inspector,
city engineer, chief of police and chief
of the fire department will attend each
regular meeting of the council and
drink in the words of wisdom uttered
by the sage seven. Incidentally they
may be allowed to speak few words
occasionally when information is desir'
ed on their particular departments.

Some sharp things were said about
,b. balligerent saloonkeeper who had
.,oo.d = man in the hospital and then
.f,sad 70 nav his bill and later Grip
,Iad q member of the police force.
- seemed to be the general opinion
- tho council that Schneidish was
hardly a proper person to hold license
h,,r there was some difference of opini-
on rs to whether he should be obliged
IN forfeit the unused portion.
Councilman GlasfOrd grew eloquent
over the bad behavior of Schneidish
tIa said the later was more trouble than
all the other saloonmen in the city put
together and deserved no consideration
When a colleague suggested the bad
saloon man be given a rebate the old
councilman snapped back savagely
Give him nothing, no.
He then turned lawyer and read from
a decision of the Washington court in
the Aberdeen case in support Of his
position This, while it did not touch
the point in controversy, exactly, gave
him much satisfaction.
After some discussion GlasfOrd NOV
ed the license be revoked BECAUSE
Schneidish kept a disorderly house
Bachtold said he was not defending
Schneidish but thought the council
should go slow and not take illega
steps which they would have to retrac1
as they had done once before.
Would Grant No Rebate.
Kirkman said he had never before
been in favor of refusing to rebate
where Il license was taken away bu
he thought the actions of Schneidish in
refusing to pay the bill of a man who
was taken to the hospital, to prevent
him dying from injuries which he hat
inflicted, put him outside of the pale

SAYS TWAS BLOW TO THE BARoNs
IF THIS ACTION HAD NOT BEEN
TAKEN LAND WOULD HAVE
ALL BEEN GOBBLED UP.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March g.
Chief Forester Pinchot this afternoon
declared the result of the Fulton-Hey-
burn amendment of the agricultural
bill would have been a help to the lum-
Der trust if the president had not pro-
claimed the creation and extensions of
reserves.
Pinchot today invited a dozen west
of the reasons why the president had
proclaimed 15,5S2,820 acres of timber
land permanent forest reserves.
OF this new area Oregon has 4,052,-
600 acres as follows: Tillamook, 1885,
600 acres, Umpqua 100000, Coquille,
14O, 900, Imnaha $4,000. Siskiyou, 446,-
600, Blue Mountain, $4,000, Cascade
$4,000, Weneha, 1000.
In Colorado the new area is 3,022,72O
acres. Idaho 10000, Montana, 3,35O.14O
Washington 4,241, 900 and Wyoming 1877
900.
Pinchot Declares Policy.
These reserves have been in temper
ary Withdrawals heretofore announced,
excepting a comparatively few small
areas. hence, Pinchot alleged the presi-
dents action merely made effectual
what had been contemplated long be-
fore congress had legislated against
further executive creation of reserves.
He said:
THE policy of the forestry bureau
is to protect the man of small means,
against the aggressions of the timber
syndicates which, unless the president
had so acted, would have absorbed
these immense areas as in the past.
The bureau will not attempt at once
to control grazing on these new re-
serves because the stOckmen have not
been expecting the reserves to be Gre
ated and for this reason the bureau
does not wish to take them by sur
prise. The policy will be to protect
settlers in every manner possible and
preference will be given them as
against the syndicates.
Furthermore the bureau will not
allow large stockmen to get range
anywhere if it interferes with the
small owner.
"The bureau will build roads extern
siyely in the reserves.
"Areas will be restored as fast as
If is found the land is agricultural"
