with very few exceptions stock
men OF eastern Oregon are not de-
manding the removal OF Forest su-
pervisor j. M. Schmitz and Ranger
Milton sullens, which has been recon-
mended to the chief OF the forestry
department by the state woolgrow-
ers' association" said c. w. Colby, a
stockman to Portland reporter.
THE reported action Of the woolgrow-
ers does not represent the wishes Of
the membership OF that organization.
but Instead was inspired by a few
sheepraisers, whose displeasure these
officials were unfortunate enough to
incur by strictly enforcing the rules
Of the department regulating grazing
in the forest reserves. The only op-
position to these supervisors and their
work comes from few stockmen
who have persisted in herding their
sheep on grazing lands reserved for
cattle. Finding they were unable to
obtain special favors from the repre-
sentatives Of the forestry department
whom they charge with administering
its policy as to grazing, It is now pro-
posed to have these policy enforcing
agents discharged"
Mr.. Colby says he has only an Of
flcial acquaintance with the men
charged with improperly performing
their duty and resents the alleged
means being employed
to effect their removal. He declares
he has known ireland personally for
the last seven years and has found
him to be fearless representative of
the department, faithfully enforcing
the grazing rules without fear or ia
vor As a result, Mr.. Colby says the
Blue mountain reserve has recuper-
ated wonderfully as a grazing district
and the interests of the smaller stock
men have been protected.

NEW YORK CELEBRATES.
Thousands Make New Years Calls
and Become Intoxicated.

New York, Jan. New York's
annual New Year debauch was even
more hilarious this year than ever
before. Probably every other man on
the streets this afternoon was drunk
or near-drunk. and the indulgence in
liquid refreshments was not confined
to the masculine sex.
In carriages, cabs. express wagons,
automobiles and on foot hundreds Of
thousands of jewellers carried out the
custom of paying New Years calls,
not only at the houses of their friends
and acquaintances, but also at the
homes of utter strangers. Business
is generally suspended and the en-
tire population of the greater city,
which is today celebrating its tenth
birthday as we'll as the arrival of the
new year, is giving itself over to un-
restrained merrlment.

Saturday was the biggest day in the
history of the Portland postoffice SO
far as the sale Of stamps is concern
ed, says a Portland paper. On that
day stamps were sold in the total
amount of $4650. Never since the
office was established has the sale
of stamps reached such a sum. The
highest amount realized from the
sale of stamps previous to Saturday
was on March Z, 1907, when the to-
tai sales amounted to $4,000. Pre-
vious to that date the largest sales In
one day were on December 2S, 1905,
when the amount of $4,000 was re-
ceived.

PORTLAND SCHOOL CENSUS.
Figures Show that Girls Exceed Boys
by 2155.


There are 32,219 boys and girls in
Portland between the ages of 4 and
20 years, according to the annual
school census recently completed by
School Clerk H. s. Allen, says the
Portland Telegram. This shows a
gain of 1900 over the census that was
taken last March. One peculiar fea-
ture of the figures which have been
compiled is the fact that there are
2155 more girls than boys enrolled in
the census, showing that Portland's
female population is growing more
rapidly than the male element The
total number OF girls enumerated is
17,1S7, and of boys 1902.
This is the first time that a school
census was ever taken in this city
in November and December. Hereto
fore 1t was taken in March of each
year, but at the last session of the
state legislature the school laws were
changed, providing that the census
should be taken in the fall.
This was done for the reason that
more correct figures my be compiled
as to the number of school children
there are in a district in order that
the tax levy for school purposes may
be more accurately made.

FIGHTING THE WHITE PLAGUE.

When 1t is known that there are
100000 cases of pronounced tuber-
culosis in the United States and that
100000 Of these are in the advanced
stages Of the disease and in centers
Of infection for the spread OF the
dread disease. with provision in the
entire country but for the complete
isolation of but about 5000 of these.
1t will be seen that the need for an
organized fight is indeed urgent and
cooperation crying necessity.
The report of the National associa-
ton affirms that until the advanced
cases are removed or isolated that
consumption can never be eradicated.
These are the centers of infec ion
and it is not too much to say that
each in his vicinity is the source for
the contagion of one new. vic i'm an
nually. With proper isolation then
100000 lives might be saved ahnu-
ally within the borders of this coun-
try.

cul. it will be not only to secure the
ultimate adoption of such a code, but
also to have one properly prepared
Every year that the enactment Of
tn code is postponed increases, by the
amount OF legislation of that year,
the difficulty of ascertaining what
the law is and reducing 1t to a sys-
tematic codification. Similarly it in
creases the complexity of interests
involved and representa- by the men,
bers OF the legislature to whom the
code Is presented for enactment.
The rejection of the code will re-
suit in waste of the money appro-
priated for its preparation. Not only
this. but there is great amount of
clerical labor which must be perform
ed by the commissioner himself, or
under his immediate supervision,
involved in clerical changes which
are necessary to bring the code down
to date. This work was done on the
1901 codes and has been done anew
in the preparation of the codes. and
1t would be a. useles waste of time

WHAT MAKES AMERICA GROW

"a big business country must
have big business, and ours is the
biggist business country in the
world" writes Sena or Beveridge in
Leslie's Weekly. Business depends
upon the ease and quickness with
toge her. TO stop the growth OF the
business organizations is to sop the
growth of the country. II the steel
industry were run by the little con-
Germs of SO years ago there would
be only a fraction OF the output Of
the peoples building and transpor-
tatiOn materials. II little shops
made all OF the agricultural imple-
ments, az they once did, fully one
third Of the farmers could not be
supplied. Remember that as short
railroad lines handled by little COM
panies have consolidated into single
systems, railway rates for freight
and passengers have steadily gone
down. Thirty years ago a man ship
ping freight from st. Louis to New
York would have billed it over at
least two lines Of road. II he trav-
eled from Omaha to Boston he had
to buy at least three tickets and
make three changes Of cars. Shall
We 60 backward or forward! Again
the. price Of raw materials that 60
into wagons and agricultural imple-
ments has increased, while the price
Of wagons anc AGRICULTURAL imple-
ments has gone down, and at the
same time those wagons and agri-
cultural implements today sare
guaranteed. Politicians denounce
big business: but ask the farmer II
he is willing to 20 back 70 the black
smith shop for his rlows. harrows,
