TAKE THE eAL1cE DISTRICT OUT OF RESERVE

The Courier has been friendly with our local foresty
officials past and present and has no desire to crclSe
the work as it is carried on We favor conservation ana
vet at the same time have given consideration 10 an lacS
presented that show the bad policy OF having Ihs lc
mineral belt which is almost entirely covered Dy Vu
mining claims hampered by rules made by persons VINO
know nothing of the mining industry The strongest ar
gument for retaining this camp within the reserve anu
one that in the beginning appealed to the prospecto was
that prevented entry OF mineral lands under he toe
and stone act and thus protected the miner from Ce JILL
ber shark But when the miner desired to secure OUTSIDE
capital to make mine out of his prospect he found the
reserve boundary was as effective in keeping out capital
lists as was the timber shark and that it has become
generally known that this land can be thrown out OF he
reserve and be opened to homestead and mineral enty
and be closed to timber entry the last argument in favor
of keeping it bottled up gone and so the miner IS anX
to be under the more liberal regulations Oh
the interior department.
1t makes little difference whether the forestry feg-
aons themselves if fully enforced would reard develop
ment or that they are elastic claimed and not to be
strictly enforced The fact remains that these mnera
lands subject to lot Of fool provisions that can be
interpreted amended at the suggestion OF some eastern
theors to the disadvantage of the mining investor Cap
tai carefully avoids investment inside the reserves for
either mining water power or numbering, and this
matter of course retards development.
Congressmaneect Lafferty of the second Oregon dis
trct was elected platform promising to revise the for
esry system to the advantage Of the state and it is pro
posed to hold western conservation congress next spring
to place conservation basis and under state
control But these reforms though certain will be slow
and local relief should be sought by the Commercial club
and in fact the people of the whole county Congress
man Hawley will undoubtedly take up the matter without
delay providing petitions are prepared containing the
names of the many people of Josephine county who desire
to see the Galice district developed.

A PROCLAMATION
By the Acting Governor of Arizor

By the Acting Governor of Arizona.
Recomme nding the Twelfth Day of
February, 1910, be observed as
Holiday IN CONNIE moration of the
One Hundred and First Birthday of
Abraham Lincoln.
1t is observed, the last Legislative
Assembly Of the Territory of Arizona,
by an Act approved January u 1869,
declared and established Friday, the
18th day of February. 1909. to be le-
gal holiday in commemoration of the
one huEdredth anniversary of the birth
of Abraham Lincoln. 1t further ap-
pears there was an intent to establish
the 18th day of February as perman-
ent legal holiday in commemoratlon OF
the birth of Abraham Lincoln, but by
some means, unexplainable, such legis-
lative action was not completed .,s
Diligent study and careful deduction
establishes the fact that Abraham Lin
coin, as an American citizen and the
embodiment of that something, which
is indefnable, within himself, more
nearly approached that kind and class
of government as intended by the Con-
stitution of the United States than any
statute which has ever been written,
from the Constitution as basis, or
any chief executive who has ever been
entrusted with that high honor of ad-
ministering the law, as expressed and
unexpressed, yet intended by the Con-
stitution. Abraham Lincoln not only
stood, but the memory of his life and
example will always stand among the
foremost in that which should comprise
the ideal American citizen. He met
the tremendous demands of the hour
with grace, good will and charity, and
simplicity, yet grandeur, few can ap-
preciate and none explain.
1t should be the pleasurable duty Of
every loyal citizen on one day in the
year, to give at least a few thoughts
and devote time for at least little
study as to whom this great patriot
was. The 18th Cay of February, 1910,
will be the one hundred and first ami
versery of his birth and on that day
millions of Americans will gather
throughout this great nation in COM
memoration of his memory.
Therefore, 1. George u. Young, Act
ing Governor of Arizona, by virtue of
the liberty and power allowed me, do
hereby recommend that Friday, the
18th day of February, 1910, be observed
as holiday, and that, in accord with
the higher responsibilities of every
American citizen, all business, public
and private, be suspended on that day,
and the day devoted to those things ap-
propriate to cherish the memory of
Abraham Lincoln.
In witness whereof, l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great seal
seal of the Territory of Arizona to be
affixed.
