INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF TAFT OPENS BIG TRACT. 203,636 Acres Eliminated From Wal lowa Forest Reserve. Washington The president has sign ed a proclamation eliminating 203,635 acres from the Wallowa national for est, in Oregon. The elimination is the result of a careful examination made by the United States department of agriculture during the past summer, which disclosed the fact that the areas now eliminated were either open grass land with very little timber, or tim bered areas so largely alienated that further administration by the forest service was considered impracticable. The lands released are not needed for watershed protection, and are not con sidered to be chiefly valuable for na tional forest purposes. The principal climinationa occur in townships 1 and 2 south, rang 47 east; townships 1 and 2 north, ranges 46, 46, 47 and 48 east; township 3 north, range 42 east; township 4 north, 42 and 43 east; township 6 and 6 north, range 46 east, and township 6 north, range 47 east. In addition, a strip of land from one-half mile to three miles wide is eliminated along the southern boundary of the forest, in ranges 42 to 47 cuBt. Section 6 and the west half of section 6, township 4 north, range 42 east, is transferred from the Wal lowa to the Wenaha forest, the area having been isolated from the Wallowa by the large eliminations. 36 ACRES BRING $45,000.

Loss Will Aggregate Million Many Live May Be Lost. Seattle, Wash., June 11. Fire on the waterfront in the northern part of the city late last night swept away nearly all the buildings on 10 block and caused the loss of $1,000,000 worth of property and probably a number of lives, at least a score, It 1 thought. Firemen ay that many lodger in some of the wooden building destroy ed must have perished. The burned area is bounded by Rail road avenue just east of the harbor front. Third avenue, Wall and Vine street. Not all the buildings in this area were destroyed, a hurricane blowing from the West having driven the flame toward some buildings and saved others. A violent wind sprung up about sun set andtore down signs and drove peo ple from the streets. At 10:20 o clock an alarm of nre waa turned in from the large three store frame warehouse of Galbraeth, Bacon & Company at the foot of Bat tery street. By the time the firemen had reached the scene the whole build ing and ita inflammable contents were a roaring furnace. The wind from off the salt water waa blowing the flames and firebrands against other wooden building to the north and east, and the problem be came not one of saving property al ready attacked, but to prevent destruc tion of a thickly-settled district occu pied by old wooden buildings of the flimsiest construction. Dozens of lodging house and so called hotels were among the buildings dsetroyed. Tbey were two and three- story buildings, and burned like tinder. The police and firemen think that some of the lodgers in these buildings must have perished. The ruins are still blazing fiercely and it will be impossi ble to explore them for some time. Three firemen were outside a burning warehouse at Wall street and First av enue when an explosion threw the wall of the building on the men, who are believed to have perished. HEIKE FOUND GUILTY. Head of Sugar Trust Convicted Pen and Fine is in Sight. New York, June 11. Charles R. Heike, the white haired secretary of the American Sugar Refining company, was convicted last night on one count of an indictment charging conspiracy to defraud the government of customs duty on sugar. Ernest W. Gerbracht, ex-superintendent of the Williamsburg (Brook lyn) refinery, was convicted on all six counts. For James F. Bendernagel, ex-cash ier of the refinery, the jury stood 7 to 5 for acquittal. He will be tried again. The verdict was announced at 16 :30 p. m., after the jurors had deliberated for 12 hours less 14 minutes. They had labored earnestly from time to time, sending out for transcripts of the testimony, particularly that refer ring to Heike. But it was Benderna gel's case that caused the long session. Over his fate more than 20 ballots were taken. This ends the government's second attempt to imprison the group of men responsible for the vast underweigh ing frauds t which the so-called trust virtually has confessed by the restitu tion of more than $2,000,000 in duty. Heike ia the highest official of the company upon whom blame has been fixed, and he now faces a possible sentence of two years in the Federal penitenitary and a fine of $10,000. He is 65 years old and broken in health and spirit. His counsel, in summing up, declared repeatedly that a prison term meant nothing less than death. Recover Many Bodies. 'Calitri, Italy, June 11.
