SLIM CR|MMETT
GIVEN LIBERTY

Slim Grimmett, after two years OF lltl-
CATION, was set free last Saturday at
Hawthorne, the county seat of Mineral
county, and has returned to his old
home in Winnemucca.
About two years ago Grimmett shot
and killed Ed Baker in a saloon at Nina.
The row occurred over a gambling game
and Baker, who was interested in the
game, refused to let Grimmett play. He
threatened Grimmett with a billiard cue
and finally went behind the bar in the
saloon, secured a gun and took shot
at Grimmett Grimmett responded, and
shot Baker through the head, killing
him instantly.
Grmmett was arrested and had trial
in Goldfield, was convicted and SEN
fenced to serve six years in the State
prison He served but short time
when his attorneys took his case OH APP
peal to the Supreme Court, and the con-
viction was reversed with orders for a
new trial.
On account of the creation of Mineral
county the trial was to be had at Haw-
thorne, but Saturday last District Attor-
ney Brede concluded that conviction
could not be had and dismissed the case.
Baker and Grimmett were well known
in Yerington, the former having numer-
Gus relatives here. and after the tragedy
the remains of the dead man were
brought here for burial.

Piute jealousy

On Wednesday, at the Indian camp
south of Bridge street, couple OF
squaws got into difficulty over a tickle
buck, and one of them hammered the
other over the head with a rock. Ida
Jack was the defendant in the case, and
Emma John was the complaining witness.
After the matter had been looked into
by the City Attorney and Police Judge
the case was dismissed, as it was found
that Emma John had been on a debauch
with Ida's husband, and that the latter
had great provocation for trying to an
initiate her rival for stealing the affec-
tons Of the inconstant buck.

another crop of timber started before
the land Is overgrown with brush thus
making 1t next to impossible to re-.

Under the provisions Of the forest

the State Board OF Forestry has sixty
thousand dollars for this work for the
years 1911-1912. During the past sea-

one-half OF this sum the annual fire
loss was less than one-fourth that Of
any previous year for which we have
record. Our organization is still very

and even now, with the facts as 70
the value of this great natural re.
source constantly being brought to
our attention, a great many Of rs
pay little or no heed to it.
No country, so far as we know has
yet been able to establish a system
attic forestry policy embracing conser-
vation, reforestation, ETC., until her
timber was fast disappearing, and in
this respect Oregon is very fortunate
for practical forestry has become a
fixed policy Of the state and govern
ment while our timber industry ia
still in Its infancy. Oregon has, ap-
proximately, one-sixth of the standing
timber of the United States. One
third of this is in the national for
ests and is being handled by experts
along the lines of conservation. The
other two-thirds is privately held,
principally by large concerns that are
coming more and more to realize the
importance of conservation and re-
forestation. If this policy is consist
emily followed our timber bids fair
to be source of revenue for gen.
erations.
Owing to lack of transportation fa-
cilities, our lumber business has
grown very slowly, but last year we
jumped from the eighth place among
the states to third place, only Wash
ington and Louisiana recording a
greater lumber production. In a very
few years, at the most, we will be
manufacturing more lumber than Ell
ther of these states, and this must
continue as long as our timber lasts.
1t is very important, then, that we
use every means within our power
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-12-30

During the early settlement of all
our timbered states, the pioneers not
only regarded the heavy stand of tim
her as of little or no commercial
value, but looked upon 1t as a distinct
hindrance and menace to the develop
ment of the country. To be sure they
could use some logs for building
houses and outbuildings, for making
rails to fence in their clearings, and
for fuel to burn in their great fire
places, but this required so little that
the bulk of the virgin forest was cut
down and burned to make way for the
corn and wheat fields. There Is no
doubt but what, in many instances,
the original stand of timber would be
worth more today than the cleared
land, and we often hear people la
menting this fact and even referring
to the settler who cleared up the land
as being foolish and nearsighted.
However, when we consider the
time that has intervened, the crops
that have been raised and the fam
lilies that have been sustained for
these many years on this same land,
think we will find that 1t was not
only the right thing to do, but the
only thing that could have been done
under the economic conditions then
existing Oregon has suffered prob
ably less destruction of her timber
from this source than any other state,
due to the fact that in large measure
her great bodies of timber are grow
ing on land that is too rough for cul-
tiVation, under present conditions.
However, up to within the last few
years We have given the forestry
question no consideration whatever,

for this development, but should aid
In every way possible the mainten-
ance of a suitable and competent force
for its protection.
At the present time the state Is pro-
ducing thirty million dollars worth of
lumber annually, and like amount
in piling, ties. telegraph and telephone
poles, shingles, wood, etc. This
amount will be doubled and probably
trebled within the next few years,
thus making a market for Just that
much more labor and supplies and
disbursing an enormous amount Of
money to be distributed throughout
the state We now ship sixty per cent
Of this lumber out of the state, about
twenty-five per cent is used for gen.
eral building purposes, and fifteen per
cent is used by the various wood
working plants of Oregon. While
sixty per cent, then, is money brought
in from other states and goes to help
build up our industries, we should
encourage the development of our
vast water power, the establishment
Of more wood working plants and
home building industries, to furnish
employment for our fast increasing
population.
Our western counties are much
more heavily timbered than those east
of the Cascade mountains, yet, with
the exception of possibly three of the
Eastern Oregon counties, there is an
abundant supply for home consump-
tion. II numbering is allowed to be
carried on in a haphazard way as it
has been done in the past, probably
fifty years from no we will see the
last of our great forests gone. But

natural resource, and see to II that
there is as little waste as possible in
handling, manufacturing and market
Ing forest products.
we derive from forty to fifty per
cent OF our taxes from timber and
the lumber business, and in some of
our heavily timbered counties this per
cent may safely be increased to sew
enty-fiye. So, from the standpoint of
taxes alone, the state is justified in
expending vastly more money annu-
ally for protection of the forests from
iire' for investigation of timber pests,
and reforestation, than we are now
doing This, however, is only a small
item in comparison to the money
spent In logging and manufacturing
timber, so per cent of which goes
directly into the hands Of the laborer,
the farmer and the merchant, and
does more for the upbuilding and de-
yelopment of the state than all other
natural resources combined. Take
for example, the railroad building 60
ing on in the state at the present
time, such as the two lines up the
Deschutes river; the line to Tilla-
nook just completed; the line from
Eugene to Coos bay now under con-
struction; one from Natron to Klam-
ath Falls, and others that might be
mentioned. While, as matter OF
fact, they sill all develop more or
less agricultural, fruit and dairy in
terests, their prime object is to tap
the great timber bells that have been
wihogut transportation facilities; and
the farmer, the fruit and dairy man,
should not only give the timber credit

II comprehensive forestry system Is
followed, and lands that are not suit
able for agricultural purposes are re-
forested and only the mature timber
used, this supply can be made per-
manent for all time to come.
Our timber industry in 1910 pro-
duced one-third more wealth than our
fisheries, dairies, mines, hops, fruit,
poultry and wool combined, and three
fifths that of all agricultural indus
tries. AS our timber diminishes, how
ever, practically all these industries
will enlarge and broaden, as we still
have thousands Of acres of timber
growing on land that, when cleared,
will be utilized for general farming,
grazing and fruit raising.
Large areas of land In this state,
now covered with timber, are un-
doubtedly better adapted for agricul-
culture and home building than for
strictly forestry purposes, and will be
utilized for the production of farm
and orchard crops when the timber
is marketed. The illustration show
ing second growth of Douglas fir Is
representative of this type. To keep
agricultural land permanently COW
cred with forest growth is as unsound
economically as to recklessly denude
land that is best adapted for the pro-
duction Of timber. Every ranch or
farm of any size should have small
wood lot to furnish a continuous sup
ply of wood, lumber, posts and other
farm material. Farmers should be
encouraged to maintain and perpetu-
ate such wood lots for all time.
