CUBA SHOULD BE FREE.

Secretary Taft. in connection with
his recent suggestion that Cuba be
given back to the Cubans, says:
"It was hoped by some that the
census might be completed In Sep
tember last. / did not think SO, and
I am not at all surprised to learn that
the census has not yet been compiet-
ed and probably will not be until
April or May.
"ThIs will postpone the local cleo
tions until June, the presidential cleo
ton until December, and the installa-
tion of the president and congress and
the turning over of the island until
March or April of 1909.
"This is in compliance with our
promise when we assumed temporary
control of Cuba, and 1t seems to me
that we ought to allow nothing to in
terfere with the carrying out of that
promise. There are important inter-
ests that would be glad to delay our
stay there for years, but good faith
and good judgment require us to
leave at the time appointed"

constitutes an exhaustive history of
the American Intervention In Cuba

MAKING OF CITIES.
Spokane and Los Angeles
Sprung Up Recently.

The Southern Oregonian says of
the method of making successful
cities:
Within the lives of comparatively
young men, Los Angeles has grown
from a small town to a city of a quar-
ter of million. In the same length
Of time Spokane has also grown into
a place of 100000 population and
over.
These cities are not sea ports.
There was nothing in either case
done by nature to make city. Their
growth and development are due to
only one thing-their citizens.
To make city, enterprise. daring.
hustle. energy and unity of purpose
are essential. With the right sort OF
people, a city can be built upon the
desert. With the wrong kind-that
is. those who devote their energy to
petty pickering and knocking-natur-
al conditions may in the course OF
centuries force the growth of a city;
but it will be hopelessly distanced in
the lifetime of those living.
Medford has reached the point
when all factions must bury the az

common good It is for this reason

BUILDING TO THE WEST.
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul In
stalling New Service.

Important steps in the progress of
the coast extension of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway were
announced yesterday by F. A. Miller,
general passenger agent, says a Chi
cago dispatch.
Train service was established jan
uary IL to Marmath, N. D., 80 miles
end of the line. On the same date
local service will be put on between
HarIowton and Musselshell, Mont.
These two towns are in the central
part of Montana and are SO miles
apart.
Work has advanced 80 rapidly that
trains will probably be running be-
tween st. Paul and Butte some time
| in May or June. BY the middle of
February it is expected that most of
the construction work will be finish
ed. Already the grading has been
practically completed and rails are
being laid at the rate of four miles a
day.
Marmath, to which trains will be
run next week, is about 200 miles
west of the Missouri river. While
construction crews are advancing
westward from this place others are
working eastward along the Mussel-
shell valley. 1t is thought that the
two lines will be connected and the
bridge built across the Yellowstone at
Miles City by the middle of next
month.
According to present plans the Mil
waukee & st. Paul's coast extension
will be completed to Seattle early in
1909.

THE LODGE POLE PINE.

The lodgepole pine gained its name
from It's wide use by the Indians as
support for their tepees. Since the
Indians of the Rocky mountain re-
gion dragged their lodge poles to the
plains while hunting, a timber OF
requisite height but small diameter
was sought, and this the lodgepole
pine provided without trimming.
The names of white pine, black
pine, spruce and tamarack are also
applied locally. In Wyoming lodge
pole pine is more numerous than any
other tree, and It is largely represent
ed in the forests of Colorado, Utah,
Oregon and California. 1t grows from
sea level to 1900 feet elevation, and
is noted for its variable form and
quality. In the Rocky mountains the
wood is lighter in weight and color,
less resinous and straighter grained
than on the Pacific coast.
Lodgepole pine attalns an age of
from 100 to 800 years. 1t quickly
succumbs to fire on account of its
thin bark, but to a certain extent
guards against extinction by this
cause by producing fertile cones at the
early age of from six to 10 years.
Reseeding after fire is favored al
so by the persistence of the cones,
some of which do not shed their
seeds for a number of years, and by
the readiness with which the seeds
germinate on mineral soil Of burned
over land.
A large proportion of the seeds
germlnate; they are usually borne an
nually and in large quantities; and
since they are small and light. they
are carried by the wind as far as 200
yards from the seed tree.

ALASKAN HARDSHIPs.

The following story OF hardsip In
Alaska from the Seward Gateway OF
December rs. which has just reached
the office Of the East oregonian, IL
an illustration of the privatlon suf-
.fered by the pioneers OF the north
Alfred Lowell arrived with the Ty-
|onok Knik mall yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. after as hard a trip as
any Alaska null carrier might ham
ker for, and one which few of them
could make in twice the time. says
the Gateway.
The whole outfit, carrier, dogs and
sleds, fell through the ice OF Eagle
river into seven or eight feet OF
water.
Lowell pulled everything out but
one sled. but the water soaked mail
reached Seward frozen into bricks
which had to be thawed. Much OF
1t, perhaps nearly, all, will have to
be placed in fresh envelopes by the
local postmaster. This entails a fine
long batch OF reports and explana-
tions for the benefit of the red tape
bureau Of the postofflce department
at Washington.
Lowell reports that the snow is two
to three feet deep on Grow creek
summit and the slope beyond. but
not more than foot In the lowlands.
Most of the streams were still rum
ming. The beach OF Turnagain arm
was mostly bare. Through Placer
valley two feet of snow lay but when
he came over the ice crust on tow was
not strong enough in many places
to hold a mans weight. The snow
had been slushy before. Several
feet of snow lay on the summit at
mile As and beyond to the tunnels.
The carrier will start again for Ty-
onok January 1.

close or averwarm housing; but they
should be protected against great ex-
posure to cold winds or cold rains. To
this end a shed should be provided
that is free from draughts and should
open on to a roomy yard on its lee
side. When the weather Is suitable
sheep should be fed outside as far as
possible, particularly with respect TO
folders. which engage great deal
OF their time. Yards should likewise
be protected on their windward side.
The site Of the sheep shed should
be high and dry, SO as to prevent the
ground underfoot from becoming
damp. sheep sheds are not generally
cleaned during the season; but owing
to the sheep being fed usually on
rough fodder, great deal OF which
Is unconsumed and trodden under
foot. 1t will absorb all moisture Sc
creted without fermenting, and the
shed win remain practically dry
Throughout the season. While exer-
else and fresh air are at all times de-
sirable. the shed should be SO made
as to be closed in cases of extreme
cold. and should be close enough in
the walls to be free from cross

"The meeting OF the river and har-

TT was great In the aggregation OF

ise OF economic and political results"
said Professor Lyman yesterday in
opening his address at the regular
meeting of the Science club. His
subject was Economic and Political
Aspects Of the Rivers and Harbors
Congress at washington City"
This was the congress to which
Prof. Lyman was delegate, and he
spoke from thorough knowledge.
The congress consisted Of 1873 dele
gates, representing all interests. To-
calities and policies Of the country.
One of the central thoughts of the
meeting was, I'VE stand for policy,
not project" thought that was re-
peated and emphasized in many
forms.
This policy which is TO have such
important economic effects on the
life OF the nation. is embodied in the
resolution passed recommending that
$50. 000, 600 per year be expended for
at least a period of 10 years for the
Improvement of rivers and harbors.
This is TO be considered in the nature
not of current expense, but of a per-
manent investment like the Panama
canal
The projects which received the
most attention in this regard were
three in number first. the Mississippi
river project, this to make a 15-foot
channel from the Great Lakes, via
the Chicago drainage canal. to the
gulf, with numerous waterways along
the Atlantic coast from Boston to the
gulf; the third is the opening and i'm
provement of the Columbia river.
"The political aspects OF the case
particularly impressed me-" said
Professor Lyman. 'aThis improve
ment of the rivers will become the
great factor in our political indepepd-
ence. AS ii were. 1t is a new Dec

CARE FOR SHEEP IN WINTER.
Timely Treatment Of a Potent Sub.
ject by Agricultural Paper.

Sheep suffer less from low tenn
stock The yolk that is secreted from
the skin of the sheep for the nourish-
ment of the wool and for the pre-
vention of feeding in the fleece,
makes the skin of the sheep rather
insensitive to cold. A sheep with an
excessively greasy coat, however, can
not Withstand cold as well as one
with a more moderately oily fleece.
The wool on the sheep prevents the
escape of animal heat from the body
to some extent, and these conditions
Of skin and fleece make it unneces-
sary to house sheep warmly. In fact,
sheep do better in moderate cold than
when kept warm. Fattening sheep
will stand a considerable degree of
cold, says the Wisconsin Agricultur-
alist. sil,A
The bad effects of too great warmth
arise as follows: The moisture ex-
hailed from the lungs of sheep con-
fined in a close pen makes the fIeeces
damp and when sheep are turned out
into the cold air they catch cold, re-
sulting in catarrh or influenza, gem
orally designated "snufnes" by the
shepherd. The sheep has weak cir
culatory system and can not stand
any inflammatory disorders, and SO
speedily loses constitutional strength
and vigor. The presence of this mois-
ture in rooms where animals are kept
may be easily seen in stone buildings
where it congeals on the walls. If
1t is not condensed and CONCEALED on
the walls it goes into the fleeces of
the sheep. The natural desire for
sheep to be outside is a good guide
in respect to housing.
On the other hand, sheep should
not be exposed to storms or drench-
ing rains. 1t takes additional food
to meet the expenditure of animal
heat occasioned by exposure. The
commonest argument In favor of pro-
lection against extreme cold Is seen
in the increased appetites Of animals
in cold weather. The combustion
necessary to furnish animal heat in
cold weather must be supported by an
increase of fuel in the form of food
particularly of carbonaccous food.
Sheep in confinement should be given
as great freedom as possible, and no
