MELBORNE NEWS.

We regret very much to chronicle
the death of Mrs. John H. Bremen
which sad event occurred at her
home in Sunnyside on the 22nd inst
She was 81 years old, a faithful and
consistent church member, and was
highly respected and greatly beloved
by all who knew her, and her sudden
death caused unbounded sorrow and
grief among her host of friends in
West Alabama and East Mississippi
Mrs. Bremen was laid to rest in the
Asbury cemetery on the 23rd inst. at
high noon amid the tears of those she
loved The solemn scenes of that
sad, sad occasion have left an impress
on the memory of the writer which
time cannot efface. With bowed
heads and sobbing hearts her friends
and neighbors by the hundreds were
around the grave with the most
beautiful floral offerings that we ever
saw. And we were made to wonder
who of us would closely follow and
meet her, where no storms ever beat
on the glittering strands. And the
years of eternity roll we cannot force
our vision through the mists and
shadows that separate us from our
dead. We stand in the mysterious,
solemn silence, and there is no sound
save the quickened heart beat, but
the cable of faith intertwined with
roses reaches beyond the smiling
and the weeping" Over it we may
send our messages of love and with
the listening ear of trust that comes
from the Master we can hear the re-
sponse from across the shoreless sea
saying, '.All is WE'LL Rev. T. A
Hancock of Fernbank, and Rev. Geo.
. B. Taylor of Richards conducted the
funeral services, and Messrs Nj. J.
Bardon, S. r.. Swanzey, S. B. Lofts,

citizen and popular business man of
Vernon, is now reader of The Dis
patch. Mr. Cobb is one of Alabama s
| most promising young men, who has
set a high mark for his goal, and we
expect to see him ascend the ladder
of fame at a sturdy gate. He is a
very popular candidate for treasurer
and his friends all over Lamar coun-
ty say that the man who handles the
county's funds for the next four
years will have to get one vote more
than John Cobb does.

physician and surgeon of Sunnyside.
is on the sick list, and we hope to
report his convaleseence at our next
writing.
The writer in company with Broth
er r. b. Ray, went over to Baxter
today to attend the seth anniver-
sary of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, which was very fitly cele-
brated by the Bradley, Sunnyside and
Buttahatchie lodges. BY 10 o'clock
fully two thousand or more people
and two hundred Odd Fellows had
gathered, at IL o'clock the process
sion was formed by Bro. Albert Press
ley, the marshal of the day, and the
Odd Fellows marched to the shades
of the huge oak trees, where music
was furnished very appropriate TO
the occasion by the choir under the
direction of Mr.. Claude Greer, with
Miss Nettie Gartman presiding at the
organ. Prayer was offered by Bro.
G. B. Taylor, and the large and atten-
tive audience listened for forty min
utes to an able and eloquent address
by Rev. J. d. Thixton Of Caledonia.
Short addresses were then delivered
by Rev. ID. g. Hollis of Vernon and
Rev. G. B. Taylor of Richards. after
which dinner was announced and the
table, which was about $50 yards
long, fairly groaned under the weight
of the many rich viands which the
good ladies of Baxter had so nicely
prepared. After the large crowd had
been well fed there was enough left
to have fed as many more, which
showed very conclusively that the
feast was an abundant one This was
great day in the history of Baxter
and will long be remembered by all

NEW RESERVE CREATED.
Trinity Forest Reserve Of 35O,471
Acres Set Aside I'm California,

Trinity Forest Reserve of 35O,471
Acres Set Aside in California.
The president has just signed a
proclamation creating additions in
the Trinity national forest, California,
amounting to 350,471 acres. The ad-
ditions to the forest are contiguous
tracts of timberland lying for the
most part In Humbolt and Trinity
counties, with smaller aries in
Shasta and Tehama counties. This
new land brings the total area of the
Trinity forest up to nearly 100000
Valuable forests Of yellow and su-
gar pine, incense cedar and a few
small stands of redwood included in
the additions are estimated to con-
tain more than two and a quarter
billion board feet of timber.
The market value of this timber Is
$4,500,000. These forests have been
neglected by lumber interests up to
the present time because it was more
profitable to exploit the valuable and
more accessible redwood forests ly-
ing farther west.

Stands Trial at Baker City.

tanning money under false pretenses,
was arraigned yesterday afternoon,
says the Baker City Democrat. Assis-
tant District Attorney Anderson read
the charge against the defendant

manded trial and insisted on having
witnesses subpoenaed in his behalf,
one of them beng f, S. Talbot. trav-

Mr. McHolme is either going to

FACTS FOR CHIEF FORESTER'S REPORT

| tion with counties will be undertaken
in Colorado, Oregon and Idaho, and
possibly other states.
An annual statement was prepared
for the accounting officers of the
treasury, showing receipts and sales
of products on the different national
forests. This statement is used by
the secretary of the treasury in de-
termining the 10 per cent required by
law to be deducted and turned over
to the states and territories in which
the forests are situated for the bene-
fit of the public schools and public
roads.
OregOn's Share S13,9SO.s9.
The amounts to be paid to the
states and territories, as shown by
the statement, are as follows: Alas
ka, s367.15;- Arizona, sl7,307.92;
California, S16,O64.29; Colorado, S15,-
791.67; Idaho, $19,591.66; Kansas.
$119.39; Montana, $20,655.eS; Ne
braska, s1017:61; Nevada, s21SS.9S;
New Mexico, $9614.06; Oklahoma,
$125.5O; Oregon, S1S,9SO.Ss; South
Dakota, $2752.23; Utah, S13,557.3s;
Washington, s37S1.55; Wyoming, $16,-
221.49; total, 153,O32.19.
Although lands included within ma
tional forests are withdrawn from all
forms of entry or filing, except under
the mining laws and the agricultural
settlement act of June II. 1906, many
claims are valid because initiated
prior to the creation OF the national
forest All alleged claims must be
examined and reported upon in order
that the commissioner of the general
land office may be informed IL there
appears to be reason why patent
should not issue.
Three geologists detailed by the
geological survey assisted the forest
supervisors in examining mining
claims.
Reports on 2473 claims inside ma.
tional forest boundaries were receiv-
ed from examiners. OF this number.
1898 mining, 7O5 homestead, so des-
ert land, AZ timber and stone, and
2s miscellaneous claims were trans
mitted to the general land office for
final action; 200 mining, 100 home
stead, 10 desert land and 29 timber
and stone claims were held for fur
ther report, and 215 required no ac-
tion.
The general land office ordered 81
hearings on recommendations of the
forest service that claims be rejected.
The average number OF cattle and
horses grazed under each permit was
81 head, and the average number of
sheep 174S. This shows, conclusive
ly, that the small owners nave pref
erence in the use of the national for
est ranges.
The total receipts on account of
the above permits were sS57S57S3.
only s per cent of the applicants
failed to pay the grazing fees and to
accept the permits applied for, and
without doubt many of these will ac-
cept their permits before the close
Of the season. This is exactly the
same percentage as last year, which
shows the steady condition of busi-
ness and indicates generai satlsfac-
ion with the management Of grazing
lpon the forests.

Basket, young man from Kent,

Basket was member of the Eagles
and in that way succeeded in passing
off his bogus checks on fellow MEM
bers of the order, or through them.
The name of w. T. Murphy. a laun,
dry man, was signed to all of the
forged papers. Most Of the checks
were cashed by saloon keepers. 1t Is
believed that other spurious checks
will turn up. A warrant is out for

Myers recovered two weeks ago
from long siege of typhoid, in which
he was close to death for a time.
Soon his hair, remarkably black, be-
gan to show tinges of red. Now It is
brilliant red, and seems TO assume
more vivid hue each day. Physicians
who have examined Myers admit the
change battles them and that they
are at a loss to explain the hirsute
notifications in connection with the
attack of typhoid fever.

Ready for Traffic.

Portland Seattle Railroad Almost
Ready for Traffic.
In conversation with n. d. Mill
Ter, chief engineer of the Spokane,
Portland-Seattle railroad, he says
that the laying of the rails on the
north bang road will be completed by
next Saturday He says that only six
miles of track between Carson and
Cascades remain to be completed, and
when this is done. the track between
Vancouver and Kennewick will be
finished. The track has been ballast
ed out of Vancouver and has been
completed to Buffers station, and
from the east end has been completed
to Carson, says The Dalles Chronicle.
at is thought" said Mr.. Miller,
that train service will be put on at
once within 10 days after the last
rail is laid and the ballasting is done;
then the road will be in position to
handle all the freight offered"
1t is presumed that by the first of
Afiil ieSuiai liolsHt anu PoSSS"eo'
service will be on from Pasce to Van
couver, although it has not been defi-
nitely settled as to that. 1t has not
been announced just what arrange
ments will be made for taking care
of the passenger business between
Vancouver and Portland before the
bridges shall be finished,
1t is expected that the line be-
tween Vancouver and Portland will
be completed before June; but work
on the bridges is going forward rap
idly and satisfactorily, and 1t may be
earlier than anticipated, when the
north bank road will whistle in" to
Portland.
