RESERVE IN ALASKA
President issues an Order
Creating a Second One.
SEVERAL ISLANDS EMBRACED
Will Be Knoirn as the Alexander Ar
chipelago, and Contains Much
Valuable Timber Official Are
Yet to Be Samctl.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, -Washington,
D. C, Aug 21 President Roose
velt today Issued a proclamation creating
thG Alexander archipelago forest reserve
in extreme Southeastern Alaska. The re
serve comprises the Prince of "Wales,
Chlchagof, Kupreanof, Kuiu and Zarembo
Islands, together with numerous adjacent
small islands lying to the seaward of
those named. The reserve -was created on
the recommendation of Lieutenant G. T.
Emmons, of the United States Navy, who,
at the request of the President, made an
examination of the timber resources of
Alaska. He reported that these islands
contain the thickest and most valuable
timber in the territory, and expressed
the opinion that' unless the reserve was
soon created the timber would be lav
ishly cut and destroyed. As the islands
have not been surveyed, their area is
unknown.
The establishment of the reserve will
not deprive any bona fide inhabitant of
the Islands of any valid right he may
possess either under the Russian treaty
or acts of Congress relating to AlasTca.
Several claims have been initiated upon
Prince of Wales and Chlchagof Islands
covering lands occupied for trade and
manufacture, which claims will be re
spected. Further locations within the
reserve, however, will be prohibited, and
the entire reservation will come under
general rules prescribed for forest re
serves In the United States. No officials
have yet been appointed to assume con
trol of the reserve. This is the second
forest reserve created in Alaska and will
probably be the last. The first was Afo
guak Island, which was also utilized ae a
game preserve.

CRISIS IS OVER.
American Fleet In Venezuelan
Waters Will Be Reduced.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. The State De
partment Is in receipt of a cablegram'
from Minister Bowen, at Caracas, saying
that he could spare two of the war vessels
now in Venezuelan waters. This informa
tion is taken to mean that the situation
In Venezuela has improved so far that
little danger now threatens American In
terests. Upon receipt of the information con
tained in Minister Bowen's dispatch, the
Navy Department immediately ordered
the Topeka and Cincinnati north. The
latter vessel will stop at Capo Hay'tlen,
and if in the opinion of our State Depart
ment representative there the presence of
an American warship is desirable much
longer, the Cincinnati may relieve the
Machlas. If the prospects are that the
situation will soon warrant the with
drawal of our warships, the Cincinnati
will proceed on her journey home, and
will shortly be followed by the Machlas.
which Is now at Goniaves. The Marietta
will remain in Venezuelan waters as long
as Minister Bowen desires her, after
which she probably will be ordered to
Colon to assist In keeping open the tran
sit of the Isthmus, which the United
States guarantees by treaty.

peace between the revolutionists and the
government. The Legation officials de
clined to Issue the passport. It was stated
at tne legation tnat General Vargas mo
tives are mistrusted, and that the peace
terms he proposes are not acceptable to
the Government.
A dispatch from the Governor of the
State of Panama was received th iPirn

Coal Seized as Contraband.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Aug. 22. The Cu

Cameron Steamship Company, which
sailed from New York August 15, ar
rived here today with 250 tons of coal In
tended for the Flrmlnlst gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot.
The government seized the
ocal, declaring it to be contraband of
war destined for the revolutionists, and
claimed that it must be sold In favor of
the sender.
Republican Attitude Toward Tariff
Revision.
Washington correspondence New York Times.
Nobody here regards with any serious
ness such declarations as those recently
made by Senator Cullom, of Ilinols; Rep
resentative Tawney, of Minnesota, and
oiner -rtepuoncan members of Congress In
favor of tariff reform. There are those
who say the Republican "tariff reform
ers" do not wish to be taken seriously
by enybody outside their constituencies.
They are set down as tariff reformers of
the Babcock variety. But whether they
are sincere or not, there Is not the slight
est reason apparent to Washington politi
cians for expecting that any considerable
movemrit to- tariff revision will be de
veloped ir. he Republican party this
month or next Winter.
It is because he fs convinced .there win
be no tariff revision before the next Presi
dential election that Secretary Shaw
scowls whenever the question of the Iowa
platform is mentioned to him. He thinks
the Republicans of his state should not
have made declaration which embarrara
the Republican body of the country. He
says they knew quite as well as he knows
that the tariff is going to "stay put" for
several years to cccne unless the Repub
licans get, tremendously shaken up In the
Fall elections, and In that way scared Into
making some revisions.-
Renutallrann hpre insist that Immediate
tariff reform is not the Issue this Fall, !
but that the only thing really before the
country is whether it desires a continuance
of Its prosperity. They say the Democrats
could not reform the tariff, even If they
should W.ve absolute control of the next
House, the Senate and the President being
against them. Therefore, they urge the
ftffpct nf thf election of a Democratic
House would be simply to frighten the j
business interests of the country.
WHITMAN IS MIXED.
(Continued from First PagO
cut quitea figure In keeplngthe total for.
the counfly up to very good proportions.
Some of the Palouse farmers have
"plunged" on oats this season, and a
large quantity of land, which in former
years was devoted to wheat, is how in
oats. Very good yields of the coarser
cereals are reported in this vicinity and
the crop of the county Is estimated as
high ae 1,250.000 bushels. As the best
yields are reported on the heavy Jand3
over near the foothills where wheat Is
also yielding heavily, the extent to which
it has affected the wheat yield can be
readily understood. Barley has not met
with the favor in Whitman County that
It has received In Columbia and Garfield
Counties, and the acreage and yield In
Whitman are both smaller than they
were a year ago.
Holding for Fifty Cents.
Nearly all of the farmers In the Palouse
are holding their wheat for 50 cents,
which Is about 2 cents above tht
figure now quoted and the selling move
ment will be rather light until there la
an advance or possibly a decline of suf
ficient proportions to frighten them. A
Colfax correspondent of a Spokane paper
in a recent sensational article presented
some figures purporting to come from
Aaron Kuhn, a prominent Palouse grain
man. These figures showed the profits
of the Coast exporters to be 8 to 12
cents per bushel, which, of course, was
ridiculous, but ,even the fact that they
were f preposterous, supplemented by a
denial from Kuhn that he had given out
such information, has not convinced the
farmers of the error and they think by
holding the exporters will be" obliged to
contribute all or a portion of their al
leged enormous profits.
As mentioned In my Walla Walla let
ter, not many of the Umatilla or Walla
Walla farmers would give serious thought
to such nonsense, but the Palouse farm
er Is In the kindergarten class when com
pared with his neighbors on the south
when it comes to having accurate knowl
edge as to the exact value of a bushel of
wheat In Portland, Walla Walla or
Liverpool
Scarcity of Help.
The scarcity of help which was noted
throughout Oregon is still in evidence in
this country and it is working a hard
ship on the farmers with rapidly ripening
crops. The rain; last week causea a loss
of from one to three days in come sec
tions, and where farmers were behind
with their work, they have -been unable
since to catch up. ' E". W. W.
THE DEATH ROLL.
Samuel Pry or.
ST. JOSEPH, MO., Aug. 22. Samuel
Pryor, founder of Prj'or's band, and
father of Arthur Pryor, the celebrated
trombonist, now touring with Sousa, died
today of a gastric disease. Professor

ters of this city 58 years old and had
never performed a day's labor at any
thing except music. His band has filled
engagements In many of the leading
cities of the country. In response to a
request of the dying bandmaster, his
musician? played lively airs for him ao
he passed away, several pieces being of

No Poor Man's Party.
Philadelphia Press.
The figures of the United States census
and the savings bank reports are suffi
cient answers to Mr. Bryan's Nantasket
Beach attempt to, array the nonproperty
holding class against the property hold
ing class. They prove that there can be
no such division of the voters in this
country, from the fact that the property
owning class is too large and the means
of acquiring property in the United States
are too many. Mr. Bryan referred in his
speech at Nantasket Beach to "the life
and death struggle now waged between
plutocracy and Democracy,," leaving it to
be Inferred that he was the leader of the
Democracy, or poor man's party, and
that against him was arrayed the pluto
crats, or rich man's party. But the Unit
ed States census' of 1300 shows that there
were In that year 12.C90.000 families in the
United States, and that 6.056,000 of them,
or nearly half, owned their own farms
and homes. As they were property own
ers, they must be counted as belonging
to the proscribed class that Mr. Bryan
designates as plutocrats. But does he
wish to be understood as asserting that
none of these "plutocrats" voted for hhn
in 1900? In the Southern states the great
majority of the property owners are
Democrats, and they voted for Mr. Bryan
in 1896. and again in 1S00. In the North
and West more thousands of property
owners voted for Mr. Bryan, and so
proved that there is no party which can
be pointed out as made up of plutocrats,
or property owners.

Without Violating; the Larv. .
Topeka Daily Capital.

money Is paid in to the association and
the order actually sent off and the goods
have arrived for this order.
Third When goods are delivered. If par
ties want more, explain to them that they
must give you the money to send off for
more, or they will have none coming for
tho next time.
Fourth Positively: Do not sell to any
one. Have each sign the printed order
and - application authorizing you to pur
chase outside of the state.
Fifth If any one la a friend and a sen
sible man he will see at once that It Is
worth considerable toxhim to be able to
say truthfully at any time or place he
may be called upon and with a clear con
science that he never bought anything
from you contrary to law.
Sixth Never allow minors or confirmed
drunkards to become members. Remem
ber, everything Is done in a legal manner
and according to law and as the laws of

the laws, as some would have the public
think.

for any person, firm or association to
purchase and Import liquors into this
state from another state for their own
use. and remember that It Is a well-known
doctrine of law that In all business af
fairs, whatever a person has the. power
to do In his own right, he may appoint an

ness legally.
Eighth Always remember; It Is legal to

on your most sacred honor that you will
tell the truth, the whole truth and noth
ing but the truth at any time or place
when required by law, and that you will
say that you never bought anything of
the lodge keeper, .but gave him the money
and told him or authorized him to send
outside of the state for your. goods."
The member signs a contract or state
ment" to this effect and Is then given the

ment" of the K. U. A. mhe so desires,

So Little Consideration for a. Lady.
New York Evening Sun.
"I started to do an errand on lowec
Fifth avenue." she explained to her friend,
who had been waiting for her at the Grand
Central station In New York. "As I
mounted the wooden steps to one of those
rustic bridgey built In front of a lot that's
being excavated. I noticed an Italian la
borer'iat the other end waiving his ban
danna at me quite frantically. As I ad
vanced, he grew more and more agitated.
'Move, lady! move!' he shouted, fairly
Jumping up and down. Not I. I'd been
scuttling the morning. I wouldn't have
hurried. I believe, for a mad bull, and
certainly not for that excitable Italian.
So. although the man continued to urge
me to 'Move!' I crossed the bridge at my
usual pace. And Just as I reached the end,
would you believe It., a blast went off,
and there was a perfect shower of stones,
and any number of little ones rattled down
on the boards Just where I'd been. Think
what might have happened!"
"But. my dear child," said the friend,
"couldn't you see that the man was trying
to warn you that there was going to be
a blast? And why didn't you run?"
"I was tired of being abused." said the
other, in an aggrieved tone. letting down
her veil, "and anyway, when they saw a
lady was coming they might have held
the fuse, mightn't they?"
