In the Judicial function of the service lies the greater danger. It passes upon our rights Involving thousands of dollars often with out evidence save reports from forest employes, whose unreliability Is a by word In the West." Limit Power of Pinchot. Mr. Gosney asserted that he could cite numerous Instance in his own state where favoritism, prejudice and graft have figured in the administration of the National reserves.

The trial of Will Mack, Indicted for the murder of Miles Carter, was temporarily transferred today from the Court-house to a room in tiie Layton Hotel, where the state's only eye-witness of the crime was lying ill in bed. The Jury, Judge apd at torneys made the trip to the sickroom and back In record time.

The expert testimony of the two physi cians. W-s. J. C. Smith and Van Dyke, shows that the wound was the cause of the death of Carter. , The defendant's partial defense of In toxication seems well supported by the evidence of the witnesses on both sides. Another element of defense that will go to the jury in favor of the defendant is the testimony of several witnesses tnac Carter attempted to put Mack out or treat him' in a violent manner. Mack is ex nected to take the stand himself to morrow. TACOMA TEMPLARS COMING Will Join. Portlanders In Close of Annual Gathering. TACOMA, Wash., Jan.. 15. (Special.)
