that central lalxir unions in all big

tlie task, ine miners nope to raise
$250,000 a week from the public contri

Washington, July 21. Land Com-
issioner Hermann, Forest (superin
tendent Ornrnby and the geobgical sur
vey have united in recommending to
ie secretary of the interior the tem
porary withdrawal ol three tracts ol
nd in Crook, Grant, Harney, liaker,
Malheur, Umatilla, Union and Wal
lowa counties, embodying the peaks
nd heavily timbered regions ol the
Strawberry, Blue and Powder River
mountains, the total area being ap
proximately 6,000 square miles. This
ithdrawal, if made, will be the first
itep in the direction of creating a vast
forest reserve in Eastern Oregon, where,
in the opinion of the survey and land
office.'there is a crying need for protec
tion of the timbei and water supply,
especially as it is contemplated to con
struct storage reservoirs in theee sec
tions.
Tbe largest withdrawal recommended
is roughly L-haped, the bae of the
L running north and south along
the Blue mountains, and the upright
running east and west along the Mraw
berry mountains. The latter section
s approximately 120 miles from east
west, varying in width from six to
18 miles. The Blue mountain section
varies in width from 19 to 4U miles,
and extends due south from the Uma
tilla Indian reservation for 100 miles,
to ita intersection with the Strawberry
mountain withdrawal, the two forming
right angle. These combined with
drawals embrace about 80 townships.
including the head waters of the John
Day, til vies, Crooked, Malheur, Grand
Konde and Powder rivers and number.
Ie?s tributary streams.
The recommended Powder River
mountain withdrawal embraces tliout
28 townships in Baker, Union and Wal
lowa counties, the tract being 45 miles
from eat to west, and 18 miles north
and south, with a corner of the 30
square miles added on the northwest.
This tract includes the headwaters of
the Wallowa and Grand Ronde rivers
and their tributaries south and west of
Euterprine.
The third withdrawal recommended
is almost wholly in the northern end of
Union county, and embraces about 14
townships in the Blue mountain range
that extends into Washington. It
forms the watershed of a portion of the
Grand Ronde river.
Commissioner Hermann and Super
intendent Ormsby, in addition to those
tracts, also recommended the tempo
rary withdrawal of about 41 townships
lying south and adjoining tbe first
recommended Strawberry mountain
withdrawal, being a tract 24 miles from
north to south, and 90 miles from east
to west. All of the recommended
withdrawals are irregular in shape,
and art) laid out to exclude, as far as
possible, all lands that are agricultural
in character, or are now owned by set
tlers. The lines have been drawn to
eliminate the towns of Canyon, Izee,
Silviea, Seneca, Prairie, Clifford,
Sumpter, McEwen, Meacham, Joseph
and others.

BALTIMORE TORNADO.
Severest Storm That Hat Visited That City ia
Seventeen Years.
Ealtimore, Md, July 23. The tor
nado w hich struck Baltimore yesterday
aftercoon, involving the lose of 12 lives I astern, waa immediately carried out,
and a widespread destruction of prop-
sengers. , The captains of the vessels
gave themselves up to the police.
Tbe Primus was the oldest boat on
tbe Elbe. She was built in England
in 1844 and had never before met with
an accident. Tbe Hamburg-American
line, which owned the Hansa, iasued s
statement to the effect that tbe weather
was fine, the moon was shining and
both vessels were steering absolutely
clear of each other. Suddenly tha
Primus, when about 450 feet from the
Hansa, put her rodder hard a port and
crossed the bows of the latter.
"This mistake," continues the state
ment, "rendered a collision unavoid
able. The only possible step for the
Hanaa to Uke, namely, to go full speed
erty, was the severest that bad been
known in this section for 17 years
No storm had been forecasted. Almost
r.ithout a moment's warning an irre
sistible wind, apparently in tbe nature
of a whirlwind, came up from the
southwest, and in an instant the waters
of the harbor were converted into a
seething cauldron, frail boats were
capsized, while the etaunchest vessels
at anchor were violently rocked.
A careful estimate today shows that
200 houses were unroofed during the
storm. The roof of the William street
Independent Methodist church was
lifted high in the air and blown over
the roofs of other houses a distance of
150 feet. The stone spire of the Holy
Cross Catholic church was hurled to
the ground. 'A part of the roof of

Puget Sound to Have Artillery Potti Sum
of $240,000 Hai Been Set Ailde.
Washington, July 23. The war de
partment has taken steps to defend
Puget sound more effectually against
foreign enemies by authorizing the con.
strnction of coast aitillery posts at
Forts Worden and Casey. For th
purpose $240,000 has been allotted for
erecting frame barracks and officers'
quarters lor twe companies of coast
artillery each, together with guard
houses, stables and administrative
offices, and other smaller buildings
necessary to equip an army post. The
buildings will be erected by contract,
according to plans being prepared by
the quartermaster's department. It. is
proposal to provide quarters for one
company at each post, before the full
equipment is undertaken, as the de
fenses nowi in position are without
proper protection.
A general sum has been set aside tor
erecting small buildings and making
repairs at the coast artillery posts,
which will include work at the mouth
of the Columbia river.
Forty Thousand Strike.
New York, July 2b. The 25,000

for higher wage and shatter hours

the dull season in the trade, it is ex
