Decided on Merits.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 31.-A
case in which the Secretary of the In
terror apparently has swept aside tech
nincalities and has rendered decision
upon the merits of a showing made by
settler upon Oregon lands, regard
less of the fact that the settler ignored
the demands upon him to attend a
hearing" has decided and a patent
ordered issued to the settler, Martin
Ulvestad, for his homestead in the
Roseburg district.
The case is an exceptional one, for
usually the entryman loses his entry
through failure to comply with the
technicalities of the law, even when
observing the spirit.

Extend Frnit Market.

FOREST GROVE, Or, Jan. 81
Replying to telegram from w. c.
Hawley, Representative for this dis
trict relative to the attitude of the
fruit growers of this section on the
reciprocity treaty between the United
States and Canada, w. K. Newell,
president of the State Board of Hor-
ticulture, said that Oregon growers fa-
vored the measure. as it would open
new and larger markets for the pro-
ducts of oregon orchards. Manitoba
and other provinces in Canada where
Oregon fruit has not penetrated to
any large degree, would offer fine mar
kets for Oregon fruits.

oREGoN's PENURIOUs POLICY

oregon has one-fifth Of the stand
ing timber of the United States.
Oregon has 400 billion feet, worth
500 million dollars on the stump.
If manufactured, this 400 billion
feet will bring in billion dollars of
outside money. 1t will either be man
ufactured or destroyed by fire.
Oregons forests already distribute
more wealth in the state than apples,
fish, wool and Wheat combined. Cut
ting has hardly begun.
Lumbermen are spending each year
to protect their timber in oregon
about $4,000. The Federal govern
ment spends for patrol. $15O,OOO. The
state spends $3.50.
Pennsylvania spends $1SO,000, New
York $11S,OOO, Maine $4,000, Idaho
$4,000 and Washington $4,000, to
protect their forests, as against $3.50
by oregon, with more timber than any
state. Washington expects to quad
ruple its appropriation this year.
OF the revenue received from our
lumber, so per cent goes for labor and
supplies.
The state is taking no steps to APP
prehend violators of fire laws, or look
after patrol In sections occupied by
settlers and miners.
Last year about one and three
fourths billion feet of timber was
killed by fire, representing a value of
not less than two million dollars in
stumpage alone, and over twenty mil
lions I'm wages to citizens, had the tim
Der been saved for manufacture.
The revenue thus lost in few
weeks would have amounted to over
$50 apiece for every man, woman and
child in the state.
or the approximately one and three
fourths billion feet killed, over a bill
lion was private timber. outside the
National forests.
Last year six human lives were lost
through forest fires hundreds of set
tiers homes burned to the ground,
and a large amount Of live stock was
destroyed.
All summer our magnificent scenery
is obliterated by cloud OF smoke
which keeps tourists away from our
state at time when they would get
the best impression OF IL.
As result Of reports OF fire and
lack OF adequate laws, settlers and in
vestors seek other fields. which retards
our development.
II is time the state took active steps
to prevent a serious condition which
affects every industry.
This can be done by passing House
bill so. now before the Legislature.

struction of public library in Salem'
according to a dispatch received here
from his secretary, James Bertram'
today. Several months ago the mat

informed of the rapid development ana
growth of this place, he almost douD-
