How They Serve the Public

"The Use of the National Forests" a publication just printed by the Depart ment of Agriculture, is brief, clear manual for public information as to the forest policy of the National Gov erument.
 It is too true, as the short preface to the public says, that "many people do not know what National Forests are. Others may have heard much about them, but have 10 idea of their true purpose and use" It is the object of this publication to explain just what the National Forests mean, what they are for, and how to use them.
 Ia the first place, it is explained how the Forests are created and how their boundaries are drawn. Next, their di- rect use and value are shown from the point of view of the homeseeker, the prospector and miner, the user of tim Der, the user of the range, the user of water, and other users of Forest re. sources. Third, it is shown how the Forests are intended for use, for the production of usable products, and for the establishment and maintenance of homes; how on all of them the timber is protected from fire, the water flow is kept steady, the forage on the range is increased and guarded from abuse; and how, in addition, they, serve as great public playgrounds and as breeding places and refuges for game. Finally, the management of the National For ests is described.
 Here it is that the great usefulness of the Forests is brought out most clearly and strikingly; for the Forests are managed by the people in their own interests, and every means is used to meet the desires and wants of all For est users half way by dealing with them in the main directly on the ground and in all cases with the utmost practical dispatch and freedom from red tape.
 In word, the special interest in this manual lies in it's showing that the For est policy of the Government, both in principle and in practice, is for the benefit of the ordinary man, for the benefit of every citizen equally. There is still tendency to think of the Ma tional Forests as ''preserves" closed to use, and to leave the public lands ex- posed to unregulsted individual exploi- tation. Where these misapprehensions still prevail "The Use of the National Forests" will go far to correct them.
 The book is written by Mir. Frederick B. Olmsted, whose intimate knowledge of conditions in the West and the poli- cy under which the National Forests are managed especially fits him to deal with the subject.

Another instance of the slipshod character of the legislation enacted for Alaska by the National Congress is found in the law which provides for the incorporation of towns in the terri tory, but which contains no provision for extending the exterior boundaries of such towns after they are so incor- porated. Several cases have developed where the boundaries were not made to include territory that became necessa- ry for the growth of the town, and the benefits of the town are denied those who live few feet over the line, how ever much they and the inhabitants of the town may desire to remedy the matter. This condition has existed for six years, and repeated appeals for a remedy have met with stern indiffer- ence. And still people wonder why Alaskaus want to make their own laws.

The Trouble at Catal1a.

The Valdez Prospector of July 4th, says: The launch Pioneer came up from Katalla yesterday, bringing news that the rival railroad companies of that place are on the verge of big fight over the possession of a strip of right of way. The ground in dispute is in possession of the A. P. R. < T. Go. and the Guggenheim forces are endeaV- bring to oust the present occupants and get their tracks across the ground. So far they have been unsuccessful, but as they have begun posting armed forces of men in camps all around the tract and have erected an old fashioned block house fort near the scene, the Bruner people are becoming alarmed, fearing that if the GuggenheimS pre- cipitate a fight, there will be consider able loss of life The Bruner people are now endeavoring to have soldiers sent to KataIla to preserve order.
 A novel method of preventing tres pass on their ground has been adopted by Supt. Dwyer, of the Bruner forces, A go devil has been arranged across the right-of-wsy, and attached to a donkey engine, in such manner that heavy rails can be swept across the dis puted ground with sufficient force to tear out any piling or other work done by the opposing forces.
 It was reported by one of yesterdays arrivals from the scene of trouble that Foreman Mike Sullivan, of the Guggen' helm forces, was to lead an attack or the Bruner people last night. It is said that g per hour is being paid to fight ing men by the Guggenheims, and al additional bonus of several hundred dollars is offered the first man who sue ceeds in getting through the Brunel defenses and opening the disputed ground.

The boys of Douglas are workers. PeddIing papers, running errandsl and selling junk keeps them well supplied with pocket money until they get to be about fifteen or sixteen, and then they join the bucket brigade on the way to Treadwell. Lots of the Douglas boys work at TreadwelI, and some of them are filling rather important positions, for boys. But it speaks we'll for the lads that they are at work, and when pay day comes and boy has 5000 in his pocket for a months work, you can just imagine how proud he is. Any of these young fellows who are at all in- clined to save, eau in a few years accu- mulate what would have seemed an in- dependent fortune to lad of fifty years ago.

were prevalent over Arkansas and some adjoining states yester- day. Crops and fruits have suffer ed heavy damage from hail. The rains have flooded the lOwlands, washed out highways and rail roads, interfered with travel and the wind that accompanied the storm has caused the wires to be torn down, cutting off communi- cation with many of the most i'm portant points.
 The condition had general be- ginning about dusk Sunday night when heavy rains began to fall over central Arkansas. These continued throughout the night, and with the dawn of yesterday when hail fell in many parts of the state.
 The electrical display that ac- cOmpanied the storm was among it's features, and while the light. ming played pranks over the heavily clouded skies throughout almost the entire day no disaster is reported directly from this source.
 There was no cessation of the rain last night and if it is not dis continued before many hours the condition will become serious in the lOWlands.

The City council meets tonight.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-05-08

At the meeting of the Commercial
association held last evening the
subjects of public hitching place in
the city and of changing the course
of the Wild Horse road were the
main topics Of discussion.
The question of how to secure
suitable place for farmers to hitch
their teams while in town has been
bothering the council for many
months and apparently no solution
has yet been found for the problem.
Last evening the topic was brought
up at the club meeting by Leon Co.
hen, and after some discussion. the
matter was left with the committee
on city interests, with authority to
cooperate with the council in the
matter.
The proposition Of changing the
Wild Horse road so as to make 1t
less susceptible to damage from
floods was brought up by W. L.
Thompson. Since the road was SO
badly washed out during the flood
this spring the county court has been
considering the matter of changing
the road to the hillside in accordance
with the general policy of getting the
roads out Of canyons wherever pos
sible. The committee on roads was
authorized to work with the county
court in endeavoring to secure the
change wanted.
The sum OF $25 was subscribed to
the baseball fund for this year and
the routine business of the past
month transacted.
Deed Already Given.
This morning County Judge Gill;
land stated that the county court has
already secured from Peter Tachella
deed to the land deired by the
county for road purposes, so no fur
ther efforts by the Commercial asso-
citation will be necessary. The strip
given by Mr.. Tachella for the new
road is 600 yards long and will now
make 1t possible for the court to
change the road at that point on
Wild H orse so that further washouts
will not occur. The road will be
changed for about a half mile, ex-
tending to the line of Judge Hailey's
place. A remuneration of $7E was
paid Mr.. Tachella for the right of
way.
During the high water this spring
the water from Wild Horse rushed
down the road by Tachella's place,
washing It out badly. In order to
prevent damage in the future, should
the old route have been retained, an
expense of $1,000 or more would
have been necessary, according to
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-05-08
MOSES TAYLoR's KINDNESS.
Little Story Of Human Interest From
Oregon Penitentiary.

A little story of deep human inter-
est in which Moses Taylor, the pioneer
citizen of Weston, plays a prom nent
part, has just come to light.
While serving a sentence in the PEN
itentiary Mr.. Taylor met and became a
friend of Henry Wintzingerode, of
Washington county, who was serving
life sentence for killing a man in
1880. Dutch Henry" as Wintzinge-
rode was called. had served 81 years
of his sentence and was growing old
and feeble and was suffering from an
enormous goitre on his neck.
Mr.. Taylor took compassion upon
his fellow prisoner and upon Mr.. Tay-
lor's release from the penitentiary a
few days ago, he at once i"terceded
for Dutch Henry" promising to bring
the old German to his Weston home
for the remainder of his life If Cover
nor Chamberlain would pardon him.
Yesterday Mr.. Taylor passed
through the city to his home at Wes-
ton, and in company with him was
Dutch Henry" who will live at the
Taylor home near Weston hereafter.
