"1 have lived in vain it your accusa tions lose me a single friend," said W. J. Bryan In a letter addressed tr President Roosevelt, replying tr that of the president written Sundn last. Mr. Bryan points to his record and declares that it is a sufficient answer to the insinuations of the chief executive thnt he is in sympa thy with or controlled by the trusts. Reverting to the charges agalnsl Governot1 Haskell, Mr. Bryan sayi that the president, In response to lib request, did not deign to suggest s tribunal which could determine thost charges, but Instead proceeded tc pass judgment upon him, and he in forniB the president that the occu pant of that high office cannot den? to the humblest citizen the right ti protect his reputation and vlndlcati his name in the courts. Complaint Against Critic. Taking up the president's asser tlon that certain trust magnates fearing prosecution under Mr. Taft. will support the democratic candi date, Mr. llryan charges that the president worded his statement In such a way as to claim the support of all the trust magnates "and yet put It on the ground that they are supporting your party for patriotlt reasons .rather than for the promo tion or a selfish interest. Such an argument, he contends. If ingenious, but not sound. In proof of the fact that he would not be controlled by the trusts, Mr. Bryan says that, if elected, he will enforce the anti-trust laws, "not spasmodic ally and Intermittently, but persist ently nnd consistently." SINCE 1877 SOUTHERN OREGON DEDICATED TODAY DriOuiog Fountain Unveiled With Ceremonies PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE!) Speecbes by Prominent Ladies and Gentlemen Listened to by Large Crowd With appropriate ceremonies and In the presence of a large assemblage of people, the public drinking foun tain presented to the city of Rose burg by the W. C. T. U. and the '9fi Mental Culture Club was dedicated and unveiled this afternoon at the site of its emplacement at the In tersection of Cass and Main streets. In honor of the occasion the public schools of the city cloned at 2 o'clock and most of the pupils gathered at the scene of the ceremonies. The program, as previously printed, was carried out without change. Hon. Dexter Rice, who presided, compared the spirit of the lady do nniors of the fountain with that of Eve, who Induced Adam to eat the apple against Ood's injunction. Notwithstanding, lie said, the law of the City of Roseburg prohibiting the permanent "obstruction" of any street, the ladles had Induced Mayor Hoover to accept the fountain and order its Installation. Mr. Rice then reviewed the work done by the ladles of Roseburg toward beautifying the city and closed with the prayer that the fountain ever be an inspiration to all of our citizens In the way of olvfc Improvement. "Down In Southern Tennessee," sung by Misses Arric and Allle Black and Lucy Bridges, followed Mr. Rice's address, and then Mrs. W. A. Smirk read a dedicatory poem composed by L. C. Hill, of this city. itom numbers were liberally ap plauded. To the strains of "Am erica", played by the Roseburg band, the fountain was then exposed to lew by the drawing aside of a large Amerlenn ling. Mrs. 8. C. Flint, representing the Mental Culture Club, and Mrs. A. C. Mnrsters, representing the W. C. T. U., made speeches formally pre senting the fountain to the city, and Mayor Hoover responded In accept ance. Hoth of the ladles expressed thanks on behalf of their organiza tions for the financial aid and en couragement extended to them In their efforts to procure the foun tain, nnd Mrs. Flint characterized the consummation of the fountain project as the crowning effort In the career of the Culture Club. In ac- eptlng the fountain on behalf of tbe city. Mayor Hoover pledged himself to see that it wns properly protected and maintained as long as he held his present office. Hon. Dinger Hermann, who was the last speaker on the program. made an address both Instructive and entertaining. He told of some or tho grent fountains abroad and In America. The fountnln dedicated In Knnehtirg today, he declared, was the forerunner arid harbinger of a new era of civic Improvement In this city. Ho paid an eloquent tribute to tne spirit of the ladles who carried out the project, and Bald the time Is at hand when Roseburg citizens could point about them with pride In displaying civic beautlflcatlon as evidence of their progressive Bplrlt. The statue unveiled today Is of bronze, 12 feet in height, and cost $S0U. The upper half of the statue of a young woman, adapted from the statue of "Hebe," by Thorwaldsen, the great Danish sculptor, represent ing tho "Ueauty of Youth." The lower half has appended a large wa ter basin, out of which horses may drink, besides the usual cup foun tains for personal use. Basins at the foot will assuage the thirst of dogs. I nhls address, Mr. Hermann, in Illustrating the genius of Thor waldsen, stnted thnt out of the solid rock on the banks of Lake Luzerne, Switzerland, he carved the figure of a dying lion with the facial lines so natural that the work stands in that respect without an equal In the sculptural world. o Dr. Finn's Testimony Interesting. lir Thomas Finn, of Itoonsboro, Mo., who has practiced medicine for 32 years, says he has used every pre scription known to the profession for treatment nf kidney and bladder dis eases, and savs he has never found anything so effective In both chronic and acute kidney and bladder trou ble as Foley's Kidney Cure.

NATIONAL FORESTS. Government's Methods for Prevent- lug Costly Fires. WASHINGTON. Sept. 29. Noth ing could better call the attention of thinking people to the necessity fjr the preservation of our natural resources than the great forest, fires which have been so widely distrib uted throughout the country and havo played such havoc this summer. It la duubtful If the losses for the year 1908 will ever be fully known, but a conservative estimate by Dr. W. J. Mcllee, Erorslon expert. United States Department of Agriculture, places the aggregate loss in all parts of the country during those months of conflagration at $1,000,000 a day. In nearly every instnnce, prob ably in every Instance, these devas tating fires might have been pre vented it the various states had pro vided an adequate number of men to patrol the woods and arrest all such fires in their lncipiency, and if lumbermen and othor users of the forest were careful to dispose of brush aftor logging so as to prevent the spread of fires. Uncle Sam has had a lot of work to do on his natlonnl forests In the tire-fighting line this year, but his work has shown good results. Ex clusive of the salaries of forest of ficers, the work of putting down fires on the national forests for the year has cost the government $30, 000. This means protecting approx imately 168,000,000 acres. The value of the timber destroyed will not be known until the tiro reports are mnde at the end of the year, though It Is estimated that It will bo larger than last year. Hut It will bo Insignificant when compar ed with the appalling fire losses out side of tho natlouul forests on un protected ureas, or with the destruc tion which would have come to tin timber in tho national forests had they not been protected. These results have come through the Increased efficiency of fire patrol nnd methodB of fighting fire nnd through the co-operntion of scttlorr and users of Xoresln who under stand that the forests are their property and that a loss from fire Is a personal one. By posting fire nollceB and giving advice the gov ernment has secured co-operation from the outalde, which niny be said to be as Important an agency In re ducing the loss from forest fires ns Is the perfection of machinery for lighting these fires. After timber Is cut, the regula tions require brush to be compactly piled at a safe distance from living trees. Sometimes this brush Is burn ed under the direction of a forest of ficer; but even If It is allowed to stand, no Are that starts finds fuel by which It can spread. , The national forests are constant ly patrolled by a picked forco of rangers and guards. The present summer force of such rangers nnd gunrds, whose main duty is fire pnt rol, is 1351 men; the average area that each Is required to protect is 121, 506 acres. It is fully under stood that this area is altogether too large, and just ns soon as funds are available to penult of the employ ment of a larger force of men the area will be reduced. In order to provide means of tra vel between the various parts of the national forests and to facilitate Hit massing of largo forces of mi n to fight fire, aB well as to furnish van tage points from which the hres may be fought successfully, 160 miles of road and 3300 miles of trail were built during the last flsral year. In Beveral cases jlrenreaks Iroin 16 to 100 feet In width have been constructed, from wlifch nil timber and inflammable ninterlal Is removed, to furnish obstacles to the spread of fire, or straight lines of de fense In fighting the fire ouce started. Several miles of such fire breaks now exist on the natlonnl forestB In southern California, where It Is especially important that the forest cover on tho water sheds of Important Irrigation streams be protected. Telephone llnm have been con structed connecting ranger stntlonR with the headquarters of the forest, In order that fires may be reported and promptly extinguished. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 11I0K. 3500 mlleB of telephone line were constructed In the national forests. Just as rapidly as possible, each national forest Is supplied with shovels, axes, and other tools, which are distributed over the forests and cabins, and tool boxes are placed at points where there Is the greatest danger of fire and where they can be easily reached by trail. Held glasses are also furnished, since their use In discovering small fires at a considerable distance has prov ed very helpful. Upon the baRls of the forest ser vice experience on the national for ests on which the total administra tion per acre, Including fire patrol amounts to only one cent, the whnli1 forest area of the United States could be protected from fire at a to tal cost of lesB than in.ouo.oiio This would save an annual loss of I20.000.nii0 for timber alone, to sny nothing of the enormous loss of life, the loss to new tree growth, the loss of soil fertility, the damage to river courses and adjarent farm enunlrf) and the depreciation in forest wealth and land values.

After a desperate battle In which one of the thugs was badly wounded by Marshal Snudgrass, the two men who held up and bent old man De Wald last night, wore captured at Divide station early this morning. As soon as the hold up was known and DeWald could give a description of the thugs, Marshal Frank Snod grass, asulsted by Special Deputies Frank lllckey James l'otss and Fred Uartols, watched carefully every avenue of escape from the city. Every hobo who could be found was lined up nnd exuinined and brought before the victim for identification. Snodgrass, witli his assistants, then went to Divide, five miles dis tant. An hour mned, when two men put in an appearance on the wagon road. One stopped down the road, while the other advanced to the depot, llartols ordered his man to stop. Mnrehal Snodgrass, who had not as yet seen the hobo. stopped clear of tho depot to get the location of the men. At this mo ment robber No. 1 opened tire with a revolver. Officer Promptly Returns Fire, Snodgrass returned the lire with a shotgun. As soon ns the robber located Snodgrass by the Hash of his gun, he sent another bullet to the officer, missing the murk by a small margin. The officer II red again, and then there was a moment's lull, when the thug took nnnther crack at the officer. At the Hash of the ro- volvur, Suodgrnss turned loose nu mber charge of ItU shot. There being no response. Snnd- itruss uud his men turned their at tention to the second robber, who wns still standing in his trncks. Placing him under arrest, the officers were surprised to hear thug No. 1 nil out not to leavo a fellow to bleed to death. lining In the darkness 111 the di rection of tho call, they found tho thug. Calling on him to throw up his hands, he managed to get one up inn Miiotigrnss' marksmanship had put the other arm badly out of com mission. --CENT POSTAGE TO ENGLAND. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. After midnight tonight a letter mny be do uoBlted at any poslolllco In the Unlt- d States for delivery nt any point In Grent Britain or Ireland at the domestic rate of two cents an ounce. The rate now prevailing Is live cents tor a letter weighing an ounce or less and three cents for each addi tional ounce. The reduction in rntes was reached after long negotiations between tho postal authorities of this country and the British govern ment. Poalmnsler General Meyer be lieves that this reduction in the rate or postage to the United King dom ultimately will result In an In- rease In receipts, because it has al arnya been found that a reduction ir the Intlor rate resulted finally In Increasing the revenue. He is also of the opinion that a lower postage will lead to froer commercial Inter course.

Can't Appeal to Court From Interstate Ruling FEDERAL JUDGES DECIDE Means Tbat Willamette Valley Rate on Lumber, as Lowered to $3.40, Will Have to Stand Special to the Evening Review. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 30. Judges Gilbert, Morrow and Ross, of the United States Circuit Court, to day virtually upheld the constltu tloualily or the Federal law giving the interstate Commerce Commis sion power to fix railroad rates, when thoy sustained the demurrer of the Commission to the Injunction suit brought by the Southern Paclflo railroad, throwing the railroad's caso out of court. The railroad has been given until tomorrow morning to aiiBwor. The case arose out ot tho action of the Interstate commerce commis sion In ordering the O. R. ft N. to re duce Its rnte on lumber between San Francisco and tho Willamette Valley from $5.10 to $3.40 per 1000 feet, a loss of about J 1 5,000 a year to the companies, it is claimed. Instead of taking tho usual appeal to the com mission the Southern Paclflo coun sel took the case direct to the United States courts, asking for an lnjuc llon against tho commission. In its dumurrer, the commission assorted that the railroad company had no right to bring action against the intorBtato commerce commission In any court. They held that tho only action which could be taken was to petition for a reconsideration, which had not been done. To Test Primary Law. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 30.
