The Doc eve.tion In Nazar..h.


Among many incidents of his wan
derings through Palestine. recounted
by Harry Franck In the Century, is
this:
An American who was In Nazareth
long ago." said a native. told me a
strange story. l did not believe him,
for 1t cannot be true. He said that
In America people buy dogs" And the
mere suggestion of so ludicrous
transaction sent the assembled group
into paroxysms of laughter
''They do" l replied.
The pompous ex-mayor fell into such
commissions of merriment that his ro-
tund face grew the color of FURNISHED
copper.
Buy dogsT" roared his sons in a
chorus of several languages. But
what for?
Never having settled that question
entirely to my own satisfaction, par
ried it with another, How do you get
q dog If you want oneT'
"W-w-w-why," answered the eldest
son. wlplng the tears from his eyes.
"if any one wants a dog he tells some
one else. and they give him one. But
whoever wants dog?"

Timber Sales On
National Forests
ThreefoId Increase in Oregon and
shington-Revenue in Six
Months, STA 600.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 10 - A
statement received at the Department
of Agriculture from the Forest Ser
vice office at Portland, Ore, shows
that the timber sale business on ma
tional forests in the Pacific North
west is increasing very rapidly. This
increase is regarded as an index of
the revival of business in the lum-
Der industry generally, and shows al
so the growing use of national forest
resources by the public.
The contrast between the amount
and value of timber sold during the
last six months of 1909 and that
sold during the corresponding period
in 1908 is very marked. The figures
just received are for most of the
national forests in oregon and
Washington, and they show timber
sales of over So million feet, for
nearly $114,OOO, during the last six
months of 1909. This compares with
sales of about II million feet, for a
total of $27 900, during the same
period in 1908.
The local officers of the depart
ment are much pleased with the
fact that the demand for national
forest timber is increasing so decid-
edly, The prospects for the coming
six months are regarded as promis-

my bill. Land taken under this
measure would maintain homes for
the entryman even though these
homes were a few miles distant
rather than upon the land itsen.
The residence requirement of the
homestead law Is in the nature of a
penalty, the punishment being inflict.
ed not only upon the entryman but
upon his wife and children. At pres
ent the ei -ryman takes his family
into isolated regions in which vacant
lands can be found and keeps them
there TO live period OF five years
of banishment from association with
fellow-being.
In a great many cases the home
steader performs just as little work
upon his land as possible, and as
soon as he gets it he removes his
family to town where they can have
he advantages of school and social
intercourse. The real object Of pro-
yiding homes is not accomplished by
the requirements of actual residence
upon the land. This object would
be accomplished, however, by the re-
quirement that a man shall bring
his land into productiveness. To pro
duce, some one must cultivate the
land. To cultivate economically. vi
cinity. labor and intelligent attention
are required of the entryman or his.
representative. The entrymans de-
sire is the acquisition and owner
ship of the land title can only be
obtained through production; produc.
ton necessitates increased popula-
lion, either of entrymen or their
representatives. The value OF land
acquired by the entryman depends
upon co ltinuing production. Thus,
it is certain that the land once ac-
luired will, under normal conditions,
continue productive, as otherwise
there is no incentive for entry nor
to purchase after title Is acquired.
Necessitated production eliminates
the evil of idle land due to non-res-
dent ownership.
My bill requires that the entryman
shall cultivate at least one-eighth
of his land the second year. one
fourth the third year, one-half the
fourth and fifth years and that he
must file in the local land Office by
the first of December of each year
a sworn statement verified by the
affidavits Of two persons having
knowledgv of the facts, showing the
character, quantity and value of the
crops produced by him.
l would be pleased if the people
III Oregon would advise their dele
CATION in Congress of their views Of
this measure.
Yours very truly,

Whether Holsters win thrive there
Is not yet known but It is thought
conditions are right for them. Lob

Is the reason assigned for the failure
of experiments made heretofore In
trying to grow Eastern Holsters in
Pacific waters. Senator Bourne has
been agitating the matter and has
secured the pI Iomise OF Fish Commits

Special round-trip excursion rates
have been made from the East to
Portland for the annual Rose Fes-
dval in June and the national con-

Educational CAMPAIGN Effective.

In the states of the United States In
which the most preventive anti-tuber-
culosis work has been done the per-
eentage of public funds spent is the
highest, while in states where little or
no enort has been made to prevent tu-
berculosis, and the treatment of the
disease alone has been considered, the
percentage OF public expenditures is
very low. For instance, of the 1900
600 spent in New York in 1909, near.
ly 60 per cent was from state and city
funds. In Massachusetts nearly two
thirds was from public money; in
Maryland about one-half, and in Penn
sylvania three-fourths. In Colorado,
on the other hand, less than one per
cent. was from public money: in Cal
itornia about Is per cent. and in Ari
iona none at all These facts indi-
cate, the national association declares,
that wherever an aggressive educa-
tional campaign has been carried on
by private organizations, states and
cities have been induced TO make lib
eral appropriations for the prevention
of tuberculosis.
