His One Hundredh Birthday

February 18th is the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth Of man who
gave up his life that nation might, in
the full sense Of the word, be FREE.
Abraham Lincoln said, on one occasion,
The Lord must love the plain people,
he made so many Of them"
A great plain man himself, yet he
did not know it. The simplest, kind,
hest, plainest grea. man who ever held
the high Office Of president Of the
United States.
So long as men are honored for mora
courage, integrity, high purposes and
devotion 10 duty, so long will the name
Of Abraham Lincoln be revered, so long
will his life be an inspiration to men.

Indications of Railroad Activity

Indication are not wanting to show
that the the state OF Washington will
be the scene of activity in the railroad
world. Numerous lines in the central
part of the state are projected. Mr..
Gamble, late division engineer on the
Milwaukee between Ellensburg and
the Columbia river, left Ellensburg
Monday morning in charge OF a corp
of surveyors for West Beverly, at the
west end of the Milwaukee bridge over
the Columbia. With instructions to
run line down the west bank OF the
Columbia via Hanford and White Bluffs
and thence down the Yakima valley,
the inference here is that the road in
tends going after its share of the i'm

INCREASED CUT OF TIMBER
The Practical Working of the Conservation
of Government Forests

Uncle Sans National Forests yielded
an increase OF 102 per cent, in timber
last year over the record for 1907, Civ
ing returns of s849, 027.24 to the
government. Twenty-Five per cent. Of
this amount went back TO the states in
which the forests are located in lieu Of
taxes, in accordance with the provisions
Of the law. This revenue will be
added to the states fund for the sup
port and maintenance of roads and
public schools.
The amount of timber cut from all
the National Forests was 392,792,G00
feet, board measure, as against 1884,
$4,000 feet in the previous year.
This figure for 1908 does not include
the 131, $4,000 feet given away to
settlers, schools and churches under
Tree use" permits. This increase Of
102 per cent. shows far better use
and increasing productiveness Of the
forest under conservative methods OF
cutting. There was a marked increase
in small sales last year, resulting in an
increase of 236 per cent. in the num-
Der of sales, Notwithstanding the fact
that the timber contracted for was far
less in the aggregate than in 1907.
In making timber sales the Forest
Service seeks small in preference to
large sales, and aims to safeguard a
supply for future needs rather than TO
swell the immediate receipts. Were it
desired, the present receipts from tim
Der sales could be quickly doubled.
During the year it was found necessary
in the interest OF continued supply to
restrict sales on many Forests. Never
theless, use OF the National Forests as
source of timber supply was more
general than ever before.
The total receipts from timber sales
each year have been as follows: 1905,
500, 1862; 1906, s245,013.4o; 1907,
1868, 813.12; 1908, sS49, O27.24.
Payment for timber is always required
in advance. In large sales, however,
and in small sales on occasion, pay
ment is made in installments so anan-

dience on their return next Saturday
night. The entertainment was one Of
the very best ever given here. Il vas
a musical treat Of high order. The
opening numbers were a march and an
overture, with the following insuu-
mentation, Miss Lu Seba, violin, di-
rector; Miss Helene, cornet; Miss z.
Phyllis, trombone; Miss Ina K. drums,
and Miss Pauline, piano.
The number embraced well known
selections from different operas, all ar
tistically rendered. The Anvil
Chorus" from Verdi's Trovatoire, +"
was realistically rendered, tn e
sparks from the blacksmith's hammer
being happily immitated by the use Of
electricity.
The Xylophone solo, by Miss Ina K.
brought out a round of applause,
to which she responded with the
Mocking Bird, familiar air decidedly
suitable to the Xylyphone.
Miss Lu Seba's readings were
free from afectation, easy and clever.

reference to Miss Helene's work on the
cornet. In her solo, The Volunteer
with variations, the tripple-tongue rou-
ladies' were unusually clear, distinct and
very fetching. Miss Helene is a cor
net soloist of considerable merit.
What the audience may have lacked
in numbers it endeavored TO make UP
by showing its appreciation in applause
which frequently demanded eneores.
At the close OF the performance Man

count of an inability to fill engagement:

HOPE Deferred Made the Heart Sick

Frank NJ. Dallam, editor Of the
Palmer Mountain ProspectoT, LOOMS,
Wash, announced last week that the
Prospector had closed its career with
that issue. Nj. Dallam intimated that
he would remove the plant TO some
other, more promising field, and again
engage in the publication Of news
paper. The reason assigned for the
suspension Of the Prospector was frankly
stated to be non-support. Not arising,
however, from a lack Of spirit or ap-
probation on the part Of the people Of
Loomis. The patronage of the town
and the surrounding country is not
sufficient to support newspaper.
The writer can appreciate, somewhat,
the regrets with which Nh. Dallam
abandons field in which he has stug-
gled for nearly twelve years, always
hopeful, always cheerful, with solicitude
for the future Of the Prospector not un-
ike that which the parent entertains
for his child. He labored faithfully,
always hopeful Of the future, at last, in
sheer hopelessness to be compelled to
acknowledge defeat, leaves the sting
Of regret.
The weekly visits Of the Prospector
will be sincerely missed. Mr.. Dallam
is a veteran in Washington journalism.
AS a writer, fearless, forceful and fair,
ne has no superior in country journal
ism in the state Of Washington. May
he soon find a new location, one that
will fulfill his hearts desire"
