in 5 VC FILLS IN THE SAP New Forest Reserve pa-Summit pf Cascades.; . NORTHERN PACIFIC JS IN IT Headwaters o 'Yakima JRlver Will Be Protected flakes Continu ous Reserve Prom Boun- -dary.fo Columbia. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, D. C, May 20. The President will soon sign a proclamation creating the Yakima forest reserve in Kittitas and King counties. "Washington,- embracing nearly 2600 square miles of land. ,,Thls reserve will include the summit' and slopes of the Cascade fountains and virtually all the timber country between the "Washington and Rainier reserves. When this proclamation is signedthere will be one continuous reserve following the Cascade Mountains from a point a few miles north of the Columbia clear to the British Columbia boundary. - Running through the Yakima reserve Is the Northern Pacific land grant, embrac-. ing alternate sections. These lands will not be Included, so the forest reserve will be one immense checkerboard, al though for practical purposes the entire area of railroad as well as public lands will be brought under the care, of the Government. The Northern Pacific sec tions will be worth little to the railroad, when the reserve Is created, and It is possible some plan will lie devised where by the Government can purchase or other wise acquire them in order that the Yakima reserve may be a compact body. If any exchange is arranged or If the Government buys the Northern Pacific lands, it will be on terms ' approved by the President. But inasmuch- as the Gov ernment practically controls the railroad sections without actually owning them, it is by no means certain that overtures will be made to the railroad.

CaBBOB Says Domestic Material AVH1 Be Used ob Caanl. PITTSBURG, May "iO. Speaker Can non, eh route to his. home In Illinois, was in Pittsburg ten minutes tonight, traveling: alone. During the time nec essary for a change "of engines and in spection t of cars, Mr, ' Cannon talked briefly to a"newspaper .reporter onjgji" rldus National topics, "mostly,' however, with reference to the purchase by the Government of supplies for the con struction and equipment of the canaL In reply to direct questions Mr. Can non said: "The supplies to be used in the con struction of the Panama canal and rail road will be bought in the United States. Already locomotives have been bought in our own country. All this ex citement that has been caused by the President's message received, that the markets of the- world be permitted to bid on the canal construction work is like a tempest in a teapot. "My recollection is that the act of 1902 authorlxes the President to con struct the Panama canal and acquire and operate the Panama canal railway, and it especially authorizes him to enter into the necessary contracts to accomplish the work. My recollection is that the authority of the President la the premises is plenipotentiary. I Jo not think it necessary for the"" purchase of supplies or ships made or produced abroad. "I am under the Impression that the labor in the construction of the canal will probably come from the tropics, the "West Indies, Central and South America, on account of the climate on the isthmus. So far as the purchase of materials for the construction is con cerned, we have here in the United States the greatest market of the world. making one-third of the whole manu factured products of the dvHlzed world. I take" It for granted that all supplies needed will be the product of our own labor, wherever practicable." McMastcr Gets BIIs Consulate. WASHINGTON, May 20.

NEW RAILROAD GETS RIDGWAY Manager of Rio Grande Goes to Western Pacific. DENVER, May 20. The Times today says: A. C. Ridgway, general manager of the Denver & Rio Grande, is to be chief of construction of the "Western Pacific. This announcement is seml-of- flclallj- made and It is added that, in all probability. Mr. Ridgway will re--sign as general manager of the Rio Grande, but there Is another report that he will retain this place. Mr. Ridgway built the Florence & Cripple Creek, the Canon City & Crip ple Creek, the Colorado Springs &. Crip ple Creek and the Moffat road to Ar rowhead and he has built parts. of the Rio Grande Southern. These have been the hardest roads to construct in the mountains and his success has earned him compliments from scores of rail road officials and builders.

Governor Gates appointed him to Investigate the advisability of changing the law governing the talc ing of public land by right of eminent domain, and the Denver Tramway Company in the Winter of 1903 enlist ed JilSj. servle.es In preparation of docu-, ments against the municipal owner snip of -the. street railroad. , i "For neither of these services did I ask or "receive one' cent," said Mr. Meyer. "In fact, I undertook the Den ver '-work on the sole provision that no attempt should be made to remuner ate me, and so strictly was that ob served that I never received a letter from the- tramway company nor held a veroai communication wun any oi Its officers or agents." Convert From Socialism. Dropping Mr. Clements, the edu cator turned his guns on the Inter state Commissioners. "T have been a student of economic questions for 12 years," he said. "I gave up a business career and went to college to study po litical economy, because' my sympa thies were not only for state owner ship bu,t for actual Socialism. My con-w version was In a measure due to tne Interstate Commerce Commission," he continued. "Study of conditions In England, France, Germany, Italy, Aus tria-Hungary, .Russia, Australia ana New .Zealand, and. last but in no meas ure least, .study of the decisions of the Commission, proved to me the doctrine that that government Is best that gov erns least." Professor Meyer has contended be fore the Senate Commission that the Governmental regulation of rates will result to a condition similar to that of Germany, where the distance rates on grain prevent the farmers of East ern Germany from finding a. profitable market in the manufacturing districts In the west of their own ocuntry. IN FAVOR PRESENT LAW. Commissioner Knapp on Rates. President Elliott Against Rebates. "WASHINGTON, May 20. Chairman Martin A. Knapp. of the Interstate Com merce Commission, wa3 heard by the Senate committee on Interstate; commerce today. He did not favor a radical de parture from the present wlsei and bene ficial law, but desired to have' Its detects corrected and its weak points strengths ened. Discrimination against a com munity on account of a smaller charge for a lone haul than for a snort naui would be corrected under the present law and some increase of restraint should be provided. Mr. Knann did not believe in tne argu ment that there was danger of Inflexi bility In rates or of fixed mileage, rates in case the proposed .legislation was adopted, as seemed to be feared by the railroad men. Notwithstanding the fluc- tiRiians In the price of cotton, mere naa been "no change In transportation rates in ten years. Mr. Knapp citea tnis as an answer to the assertion often made that a 'must constantly change to meet changed conditions. .Something should be done. Mr. Knapp thought, toward com- nplUnc- carriers having short line connec tions to unite In making through rates. Howard Elliott, president oi uic .wiui pumak T?nUrnfid. told the committee that he agreed with the President when ) said that the great nignwayB oi me country should be kept open upon equal terms to all. and mat reoarcs snomu cease. H opposed "giving any Govern; ment commission. ""power to fix rates. He asserted that the present laws are suffi cient to properly regulate the railroads. The discrimination between localities will always1 exist because of geographical conditions'. He advocated cutting off free transportation and half-rate tickets to Government and state officials and others. Mr. "Elliot was asked about the Spokane, "Wash., situation, -where higher rates are charged than to Puget sound points, ana ho replies- that it was a difficult casfi and the railroads were trying to effect an adjustment, Mr. Clements, of the Interstate Com m6m Commission, was again heard to day. He believed that terminal and other abuses have 'crown up since tne passage of the Elklns law m auerapis io evaae that law. He had never advocatea minimum rate In regulation. "William A.

There were two charges of unfaithfulness 'brought against' her, and In one case the co-respondent ad mitted the charge, but subsequently with drew his statement. Mrs. Pltblado. who had throughout ve-! hemently protested her Innocence, at the final session of the trial committee fell Into a swoon when it became evident that the committee report to parliament would be In favor of the petition for divorce.

Reports received here through authoritative channels represent Japan as carrying things with a high hanJ In Corea. Whether the reports are Influenced by sentiment, ii is lmposl'ole- to say, but they recite -p, number of specific facts supportlng..the view that M. Hayashl. . the Japanese Minister to Corea, no longer observes the position of the other Ministers at Seoul. He is said to consider himself a sort of Resident-General or Viceroy, thus taking precedence over his diplo matic colleagues, who are-'obliged to await his convenience in dealing .with. the court ana government; rAie uenerai commanding, the Japanese troops is represented as- seconding this assump tion of precedence on the part of the Japanese Minister. The official reports confirm reports from Pekln that the. Japanese recently exerted strong pre'ssure upon the Em peror of Corea to "induce him to 'leave the country and go to Japan, wltbr- the evident purpose of removing him as, an obstacle to the development of Japan ese control. The Emperor Is said to have requested the departure of the Japanese officials who had made this representation and to have taken dis creet means td 'permit the European government to learn of the prospects of his removal. Finally, when this Infor mation reached the St. Petersburg Foreign- Office. It issued a protest against Japan's assumption of control of the affairs of Corea. , WILL FIGHT ON SUNGARI Almost a Million Mem Ready for tire Ceafllct. ST.
