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.

idence. She said that before leaving

FIRE 8WEEPS SEATTLE.
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. The ruin of
