10 TO BE RESTORED Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, Se cures Favorable Action .. From Secretary Wilson. FARM AREAS TO BE USED Taft I'eiiuiis Secretary or Agricul ture to Pursue More Liberal Pol icy Toward Forestry Irob . lent in AYcslern States. ORKiOXIAX XEWS BUREAU, Wash ingtoii. April 24.lt is the expectation of Senators and Congressmen that t uS? C a!rlcultral lands now embraced nithm forest reserves will ultimately be restored to the public domain. This ex pectation prows out of the fact that Sec retary Wilson has ordered the Forest Service to, make an examination and clas sification of the various Western reserves, jetting forth by maps and by description ' are"f- n?w reserved, which are p irely or largely agricultural lahds. as distinguished from purely timber lands This order was made at the suggestion C Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, who urged Secretary Wilson to eliminate from the reserves of Idaho all lands not chiefly Miluahle for their timber. The Secret arv was not poHseseed of sufficient data to enable him at this time to eliminate agrl cultura lands in Idaho or other stales, but in informing: the Senator that he had called for a classification of lands in all reserves he stated: "it seems to me a fair proposition that lands which would H .f 8wd nornp8 fr our people and have no timber upon them should be returned to the public doman." AVIlson Again at Helm. The action of Secretary Wilson is more significant than appears on its face. Dur J-?v "V?., Rooew" administration. Secre tarj W ilson had no say whatever regard- Kore,7Stry, affairs- notwithstanding the Forest Service was a bureau In the De partment of Agriculture. It is true that many forestry matters were handled over the signature of fK'rdarj- Wilson, but it U a f"r of fact that the letters sled l Wilson were written In the Forestry Mervirc, and. his signature was affixed merely in a perfunctory manner, and In order that the action taken might literal ly be in conformity with the law, for under the law certain thlnfrs must be done by the Secretary of Agriculture, and not by any official of the Forest Service. Now. for the first time, Secretary Wil son is giving orders to the Forest Serv ice. He is superior to the Chief Forester s the law intended, and is exercising general supervision over the Forest Serv ice, just as he dominates all other lure" the Department of Agrlcul- Voice of West Listened To. President Taft and Secretary Wilson are both earnest believers In the forestry pol icy built up by the Roosevelt Administra tion, hut. while they believe In the princi. Tie of forestry, and in the main support the Forest Service, they both begin to realize that In the past administration the Forest Service was allowed to operate with too free a rein In fact, was virtually unchecked. President Roosevelt was as much an enthusiast as Gifford Plnchot, end whatever Plnchot wanted, that he jot; President Roosevelt saw to It that be did. As the situation is surveyed, and as Western Senators and Representatives re consulted, the new administration finds that there is much complaint bout the manner in which the Forest Service has been srhitrorii,, uji. Jts vast system of reserves, and the more these complaints are yone into. Proceeds From ST. MARY'S i . . . , . ., J: . . . V ' . .-. .. . .. ...

TT ON next Wednesday evening at the Heillg Theater the 1909 graduating elass of St. Mary's Academy will give "Joan of Arc." adapted from Schiller's, beautiful drama. This Is . an Inter esting selection on account of the beatification of Joan of Arc. which took place in Rome last Sunday Aprll IS, when she was placed the stronger the conviction that some restraint should be placed upon the P orest Service. That Is why Secretary Wilson has taken heed of the protest voiced by Senator Heyburn. but In dorsed by many of his Western associ ates. Homesteaders to Be Aided. At the Instance of the Forest Service, Congress several years ago passed a law permitting the homesteading of agricultural lands within forest re serves, and after this had been accom plished, the service was very reluctant about eliminating from forest reserves any agricultural areas that might be found within their borders. . It was pointed out that under this law settlers could homestead agricultural lands within the reserves just as well as If the agricultural areas were eliminated. But it is the experience - of -Western men that homesteads, under that law, are. more difficult to make than home steads on the open public domain, and the figures show that comparatively small areas within reserves are being homestcadedl Secretary "Wilson, it is stated. Is in sympathy with Western men wbo- are anxious to open up these agricultural lands tb Settlement, and It is the' hope of those who have appealed 'to him that in time, many eliminations will be made, especially of ,' large , areas of agricul tural lands . which oflen-occur - along streams traversing -forest reserves. . Heyburn Likely - to Win. - - - -- If the records of the Forest Service had been complete. It would have been possible to comply "with Senator Hey burn's request on very short notice, but' it Is a fact that reserves, in times past, have been created along . general lines, and before any branch . of the Government service had examined the entire area. Thus ' It happened that half a dozen reserves were created In Oregon and as many more In Idaho, be fore even preliminary examinations had been made, the boundaries being laid off arbitrarily on maps In the Forest Service. Naturally, reserves created in this manner, included more or less agricultural land, and it Is such land that the Western men in Congress are striving to have restored to the public domain. There Is every Indication that their demand will "be complied with. ' PHYSICIAN TURNS ROBBER Dr. Fred Von Faulkenstein Admits Series of Thefts. Dr. Fred Von Faulkenstein, who was arrested Thursday night on the charge of burglary, has confessed to charges brought against him and admits that he is. not only guilty of stealing over 130 volumes of medical books, but also of the theft of 1000 worth of surgical instruments from the offices of Dr Richard Nunn and Dr.' R. J. Chipman' oculists in the Flledner building, about six months ago. He also admits that he was the man who attempted to take surgical instruments from the offices of Dr. J. R. Wetherbee, in the Med ical building and that he dropped them and fired at the . Janitor wbo started to pursue him. Von Faulkenstein. is accused by the police officers of having also taken plunder from the Perkins Hotel Phar macy worth J100. Many of the stolen articles have been recovered, some hav ing been found In pawnshops and oth ers in stores where they had been sold. A number of the instruments have been found stored In the prisoner's trunk and other places which he has revealed to the authorities. . For some time Von Faulkenstein as serted his Innocence, but. the evidence against him produced by Detectives Mallett and Craddock led him to confess. Canadian Pacific Officiate Leave. A. O.
