Jerry Peters. a resident of the east

different instances and he is out for
reimbursement for the damage he
has sustained. The claims have been
placed in the hands of an attorney

the extension of Patent street his two
lots were damaged to the amount of
$3.50. His second claim is that his
fruit trees and property in general
was damaged to the amount of $1100
by the shutting off of his sub-irri-
cation through the extension of the
feeder to the city's water supply. His
third claim is for damages resulting
from the digging of the well in the
west end of the city to supply the
cemetery reservoir. He claims $3.50
damages, holding that the digging of

dresses to which we have had the
privilege of listening, to our great
benefit and edification.
And we further instruct our secre-
iary to have this resolution published
i'm the local papers. and copies ofs the
same presented to the various bodies
above enumerated.
Concerning Forest Ranges.
The conventions criticism of the
policy with regard to
the management and control Of the
range within the national forests
was confined for the most part to the
following resolutions:
Whereas, it has been recommend
ed to eliminate certain tracts of land
from the boundaries of the national
forests of Oregon, and especially
township 10, south or range 80, e.
w. NJ, in the Umatllla national for
est, which lands are fully timbered,
in fact more so than are other parts
of the national forests;
And Whereas, the reasons given for
the elimination of certain lands are
that a part of said lands are decided
lands and owned by private individu-
ais and are, therefore, hard for the
government officials to handle;
And Whereas, we believe in the
principle OF the preservation of our
national forests for future generations
and are not opposed to the forestry
policy in their endeavor to protect
the forest lands from being Destroy
ed of their timbered wealth.
We Therefore Recommend. that
before eliminating the fully timber
ed lands within the national forests,
The government officials first elimi-
nate lands within said forests which
ire not timbered or which are sparse
y timbered.
We, Therefore, Recommend that a
,areful examination be made of the
national forests in Oregon and elm
