An increase of ftfOOO over tire apptopriation of two ear- ago i fiat is recommended by the joint committee appointed to invif- tigate the Soldiers Home at K..seburg The committee reort, as tiled, is flat tering to olli ials. In addition to the f:!-',0tl0 appropriation declared proper for the two years expenses, the commit tee goggeatg there shook) lie a further appropriation of f 1220 for the purchase of new beds, plumbing anil a wagon and harness. The report in part, is as follows: The conditions of the Home are ex emplary in every respect and it is order ly m all its apiMiintmenta and without question is being conducted by the com mandant and Ins adjutant in surh a manner as to lend great credit not only to himself but to the elate at large ' e cariuuv examined the hospital and its furni-hings, together with the new fing, which was completed from the appropriation made two years ago, and find this institution as well tnuinped an any similar institution in the country. we nnd further upon investigation that there has been a verv materia! in crease iu the inmates of this institution that according to your committee re port of two yeais ago there were but 90 inmates, while now the commandant reports 141 ; that he has succeeded in maintaining this institution, by careful and economic management, on the $24,- OOOappropriat on which was made two years ago for Ibis institution, hut in or- rier to maintain an institution of this kind in the manner in which it is now maintained we would recommend, owing to the increased number iu the institution, the appropriation asked for in the commandant's report, namelv $32,000. Inasmuch as we have heard some dis cussion along the line of an appropri ation for the purpose o'. building cot tages for the wives of soldiers, we take the liberty here to say that we have fully considered this matter, have talk exl with the management of the Home, abo with a number of soldiers, and wish to advise that we think this would be a serious mistake and would not be for the best interests of the inmates of the Home. We also carefully examined into the duties and salaries of the different offi -cers of the Home, and would recom mend thrft the -alary of the adjutant bo raised to $ft00 per annum, and that no other changes tie made in the salaries of any of the officers.

Brookes and Son, Harry Fire Destroyed Building and Contents. Portland Feb. 7. Neighing of horses in the yard saved H. H. Brookes and Harry Brookes from terrible deaths in the store of the Holbrook Mercantile C ompany, at Holbrook, shortly afterjl o'clock yesterday morning. Fire was set under the bnilding and a heavy charge of dynamite exploded, undoubt edly by an enemy or enemies, who at tempted to kill father and son, who were wraped in slumber at the time. DO S' ruction of the premises was wrought by the (lames, and the terrific explosion, working damage to the extent of $2500. That he and tiis son escaped from the burning building with their lives, Mr. Brookes attributes to the fact that sev eral horses in the yard began whinney ing and neighing when the flames burst out uuder the stracture. This awak ened him He smelled tne odor of moke immediately and without waiting to dress hurried downstairs. He found the floor a seething mass of fiamee. Thinking of his son, who had returned home on the midnight train from Port lard, Mr. Brookes rushed back and found him in tied unconscious, over come by the stifling smoke. In desper ation, the father bore the son through flames and dense smoke to safety below. I . . . . . As the flames leaped and ate their way ,ul" cer lruon oi uie ouiunng, a ter I rible explosion occurred, shattering every window and shooting the fire high into the air. It was heard by people for miles around, and Btunned those stand ing al nut watching the blaze. The e was no apparatus to be used, and all the men could do was to stand and ice the destruction of the building, which was soon completed. Everything within tbe building was consumed. "That this dastardly attempt to kill nivselt and son was the work of some enemy, I have not the least doubt," said Mr. Brookes. "Who it was I cannot say but whoever did it purposed double murder, I firmly believe. I positively know the tire was set, and after my son returned from his visit to Portland. II there had been any blaze when he came he would have known it. It was about an hour after he went to bed that the lire occurred, followed bv the exphjeiou. We had no high explosives in stock go the charge was surely set by some one." Brookes and his son manage tbe Hoi brook Mercantile store and also a log giug camp at which about 50 men are employed. Mr. Brookes was for a time the editor of the Koseburg Plaindealer, aud is well known throughout the state. FOREST DFFDVF lv aH la,'"r-".

"Approved. February 1, lt05." By this Act the administration of the Federal forest reserves is transferred to this Ivpartment. Its provisions will be carried ont through the Forest Service, under your immediate supervisi n. You have alreadv tentatively negotiated the transfer with the Commissioner of the lieneral Land Office, whose powers ar.d duties thus transferred 1 assign to you. I'ntil otherwise instructed, you will sub mit to me for approval all questions of organization, rules, permits, and privi leges, except such as are entrusted by the present regulations to field officers on the ground. All officers of the forest reserve service transferred will he sub ject to your instructions and will report directly to you You will at once issue to them the necessary notice to this ef fect. In order to facilitate the prompt trans action of business up m the forest re serves and to give effect to the general policy outlined below, you are instruct ed to recommend at the earliest practi cable date whatever changes may be necessary in the rules and regulations governing the reserves so that 1 may.in accordance with the provisions of the above Act, delegate to you and to forest reserve officers in the field, so much of my authority as may be essential to the prompt transaction of business, and to the administration of the reserves in ac cordance with local needs. Until such revision is made, the present rules and regulations will remain in force, except those relating to the receipt and trans mittal oi moneys, in which Special Fis cal Agents of this Department will per form the duties heretofore rendere I by the Receivers of Local Land Offices in accordance with existing laws and regu lations. The Chief of Records, Forest Service, is hereby designated a Special Fiscal Agent, and you will direct him at once to execute and submit for my ap proval a bond for Twenty Thousand Dollars. On December 17, 1904, the President signed the following order : "In the exercise of the power vested in the President by section 175d of the revised Statutes and acts amendatory thereof : "It Is Ordkrkd, That all persons em ployed in the field and in the District of Columbia in the 'protection and admin istration of forestry reserves in or under the General Land Office of the Interior Department' be classified and the civil service Act aud rules applied thereto, and that no person 1 hereafter appoint ed, employed, promoted , or transferred in said service until he passes an exami nation in conformity therewith, unless specifically exempt, d I hereunder Ibis order shall apply to all officers and en -ployees, except persons employed mere- muoroer ciaaaifiea tbe whole Foroat Ke-erve Service, now transferrer!, and place- it under the civil service law. In the adminidration of the foreat re serves it mutt ba clearly borne in mind that all land is to ie devoted to its moet productive use for the permanent good of the whole people and not for the tem porary beaeflt of individuals or com panies All the resources of forest re f. rws are for ue, and this use must be brought alwut in a thoroughly prompt and buhines-like manner, under such re strictions only as will insure the per manence of these resources. The vital important of foreat reserve to the great iudm.tri.-T. of the Western States will be largely increased in tbe near fu ture by the continued steady advance in settlement and development. The per il, mm -nee of the resources of the reserves is therefore indispensable to continue prosperity, and the policy of this De partment for their protection and use wiU invariabiy be guided by this fact, alway lar;n. in mind that the conser vative use of these resources in no way conflicts with their permanent value. You will see to it that the water, wood, and forage of the reserves are conserred and wisely need for the benefit of the home-bui!der first of all ; upon whom depends the bet permanent Me of lands and resources alike. The continued prosperity of the agrj. u.tural, lumber ing, mining, and liveetock interest is directly dependent upon a rmanent and accessible supply of water, word, and forage, as well as upon the present and future use of these reeouro-s under-busiueae-hke regulations, enforced srith promptnei-s, effectiveness, and common sense. In the management of each res-rye local questions will le decided up on local grounds: the dominant indus try will be considered first, but with aa iittle restriction to minor industries as may 1 poggiblo; -udlen changes in in dustrial i onditions will be avoided by graatagd adjustment after due notice: and where conflicting interests moat be reconciled, the question will be decided tbe ataadpoiavl of the greatest good of the greatest number in the long ran. Thee general principles wili govern in the protection a: d use of the water sup- (' )' m ti e disposal of timber and wood, in the use of tne range, and in all other matter connected with the manage ment of the reserves. They can be suc cessfully a; p'ied on!v when the admin istration of ea. h reserve is left very largely in the hands of the local officers, tinji-r the eye of thoroughly trained and competent inspectors.

DOUCLAS COUNTY BANK PASSED OVER VETO Anticipated Clash Ctaes and Ore gon Senate Slows its Teeth to tbe feverMr. BAILEY CREATES A STIR House Cmcui. hi the AcUm of the Semite feprMcMs Set Their Salem, Feb. ". Although long antici pated, the Republican organisation of the twenty-third Legislative Assembly and Governor Chamberlain clashed for tbe first time yesterday. The Governor in the morning vetoed two Senate bills that had been passed by both aoesss. The legislature immediately sjsjsjsJ the two bills over the Governor's veto by a large majority. Several weeks ago tbe Governor sent s message to tbe legisle ture stating that be woeld veto all bills that contained tbe emergens y eiaese, unless it was absolutely essential. This created a certain amonnt of ill feeling and it was rumored for s tisae that his warning would be disregarded. The conservative members predominated and the trouble was narrowly averted. The first bill, which wss vetoed by the Governor yesterday morning woo Id authorize the managers of the Lewis snd Clark Exposition to condemn soch property ss they thought advisable. The second bill vetoed, was backed by both the machine and anti-machine members. This bill was for the appro priation of $6000 to establish a labora tory at the University of Oregon fbr the purpose to test bnilding material. The United States government has evidenced its intention of detailing an expert en gineer to fa perv.se the work ii each a laboratory was established. When the Senate received asocial no tification yesterday afternoon oi the Governor's action in vetoing the Lewis and Clark bill, it was readily seen that the Republicans reseated his move. Af ter a few animated discussions between several of the Democratic and Re publican members, the vote was taken. Tbe result wss not nnexpscted. The second bill was pseud in s similar man ner. In neither case did the anti-machine members make a concerted effort to sastain the Governor's veto. BAXtar'a sbatioai. STaTsauarr. W'hen the lower branch oi the Oregon legislature came to concur with tbe Ken ate in the passage oi tress bills over tbe Governor's veto, Bailey mads s rather sensational statement. After Barns of v oos and Carry, had defended tbe Gov ernor's action, Baiiey said that he bad been informed by a Democrat, who was close to the Governor, that the Gover nor said the only reason be bad vetoed the bill was because one E Tersteeg. another Democrat, who owns the land proposed to condemn, had asked him to veto it. II r. Bailsy declared that Vers teey was trying to hold op the Exposi tion Company. The bill passed by a vote of 47 to 9. Utah will have a comprehensive ex hibit at the fair.
