FREDERICK NOLF & CO. GENERAL NEW S. January g 20 Japanese were killed by the explosion of a contact mine In one of the captured forts at Port Arthur. During 1904 there were 25.0O0.0U0 pounds of honey produced in the United States. 2,000.000 pounds com ing; from Colorado. According; to the Dally Drovers' Journal-Stockman, of Omaha, miiny vaccinated cattle in South Dakota are dying of blackleg. The annual flow of Weber river is 1,100.000 acre feet, nf which 342.000 Is diverted for Irrigation and the re mainder flows Into Great Salt Lake. The St. Loula Exposition "paid out." It has. after all claims have been paid, JH9S.O00 on hand In cash, and has (350.000 due from wreckage companies. Harvard experts under the direc tion of Dr. Emmens Uriggs, a Boston expert, pronounced true cancer lion-1 infectious and non-contagious. In lioston there are 8.B cases to every 10,000 people, au increase from 2.S per 10,000 in 20 years. Very' discouruging accounts are reaching Berlin of the difficulties en countered by the German troops op erating against the Hereros. There is no forage for the horses, food for the men is very scarce, and the rava ges of typoid fever continue. Count Henry de la Vaux, an aero naut, will in the spring attempt a bal loon voyage of 1500 struight-awuy miles from Washington to Denver. He has made 133 ascensions without a serious accident, and holds the long distance record 1200 miles from Paris to Kleff. Of 270.800 coal miners in the Rhenish and Westphallan districts of Germany, 20,000 are on strike and It Is not believed that a general strike affecting every mine can possibly be .averted longer than spring. The men strike for better wages and Im provement of the conditions under which they labor. Practically the only defenders of the miners are the .socialists and socialist papers. NOHTIJWEST news.

Two Political rintrornia Demand Tills Movement lu Order to Protect Wa ter Source for Irrigation Lumber ing Interest of (lie State Are Threatened Over 3.000,000 in Gov ernment Forest Reserve ill Stale of Colorado Other States lifted to Take I'p the Stale Forestry Move ment. Two political platforms in Colorado contain a declaration favoring the creation of a state department of for estry. This. If carried Into effect by the legislature, will notably benefit both the state and forestry, since the general welfare of Colorado Is pecu liarly dependent upon the rigid care and protection of its forests. Almost one-third of the total area of that state, or 33.500 square miles. Is woodland, of which about 20.000 square miles are covered with valua ble timber. This is chiefly pine, al though cedar, hemlock, spruce, fir and other siiecles are also found In merchantable sixe and quantity. But the greatest value of the Colo rado forests is In their promotion of agriculture through irrigation. Al ready there are nearly 2,000,000 acres of farm lands under irrigation, but great stretches of country are still to be redeemed. Tills cannot be done unless the watersheds of the state In the mountains and hills are rigorously kept under forest cover. The grazing and lumber Industries, as now conducted, and the ravages of fires are against the forests. The lumbering and still more the grazing interests of the state are too valuable not to receive careful consideration. Each, and more particularly the latter, must be carefully and judi ciously regulated with two ends In view -their own welfare and contin uation, and the protection of the for- ly enemy lu Colorado as in other large forested areas, and restraining regu lations must be enacted and enforced. Forest preservation is a vast econ omic question, intimately Interwoven with many other matters of vital state concern, but It is a question with a distinct field of research and de mands specialized Inquiry, enactment and Jurisdiction. Hence the necessi ty for the creation of a state depart ment of forestry. Through it all local work can most effectively be done, and It furnishes an agency tnrougn wnicn tne sinie may come Into closer touch with the national bureau of forestry nnd thus secure advice based on a wide range of investigation. The federal government has put something over 3,000.000 acres of the nubile land on the watersheds under forest reserve. In addition, agents of the bureau of forestry have, within the past two years, made careful studies of both these reserves and other public forests of the state, to the end that the federal forest re serves may accomplish the greatest possible good. But 3.000,000 acres are a small part of the 21.440,000 acres of wooklland in Colorado. All the remaining 18.000. 000 or more acres are to a greater or less extent important in conserv ing the irrigation and farming future nf the state. It is therefore fortunate that Colorado seems likely to handle Its forests in this practical way. the only way by which the best results can be accomplished. Such action will Increase to 12 the number of suites which have created separate departments of forestry. Yearly and dally the Importance of understanding and guarding the for est, which stands In close relations to many and varied industries, is grow ing. Each state whichadds the weight of Its official action gives new im netus to the movement which alms to secure the largest usefulness of our forests in the Interest of the public welfare. "SOLDIERS OF FOHTINE. High ClasH Irama at Uie Fraser To morrow Night. "For Mother's Sake." played at the Fraser last night, Is the best play of Its kind, by far, that has been pre sented In Pendleton this season. The cast Is not large, but every one In It Is an actor. Miss Marie Heath, as Jo Pcnihcrton, Is a character that one cannot help being impressed with. It is a rural drama, rich in comedy and strong in pathos. Only once does real vlllian show up to jar the nerves of the audience, but as he doesn't last long, the author may be f oi given. White Whittlesey in "Soldiers ot Fortune," appears at the Fraxer to morrow evening. Mr. Whittlesey Is under the management ot Belasco, Mayer & Price, who are also touring Florence Roberts. Mr. Whittlesey is recognised as one of the coming young romantic actors of the Pacific- coast, and his coming to renuieion will be a rare treat to lovers of good drama.

This year no less than seven rail road projects will be carried forward in Oregon, aggregating 231 miles, as against eight miles of now steam rail road credited to this state for last year by the annual report of the Rail way Age. For many years railroad building has been looked upon us the barom eter of prosperity and development In the United States. People who ex pect Oregon to take a long step ahead this year are supported In their belief by the program of the railroad build ers. Besides the new roads begun or finally surveyed, the Southern' Pacific will practically rebuild 150 miles of its main line from West Fork north ward, substituting new 80-pound rails for the present 60-pounders, and steel bridges for the wooden trestles in use. While It is not absolutely certain that all of the seven lines will be com pleted this year, there is a strong nrobablltty that-ievenr one will be either completed or well along before unother January. Here Is a list of the Oregon railroads now under course of construction or for which final sur veys have been completed and fin ances arranged: Tlie Proimsetl Lines. Columbia River & Oregon Central, Arlington to Condon, 28 miles. The Great Southern. The Dalles to Dufur, 30 miles.. Pendleton Southern, Pendleton to Ueppner. 45 miles. Portland Southern Electric, Port land to Hulem, Bi miles. Rogue River Valley railway, Med ford to Prospect, 45 miles. Oregon Traction company, electric, Portlund to Forest Grove, 26 miles.

About 40 cases of smallpox have developed In this city within the past 48 hours, but happily none of them are of the ma- lignant type. The smallpox hospital was filled to Its capacity yesterday and today numerous residences where coses were found are being put under quarantine. On recommendation of the board of health the churches will hold no services, and engagements of theatrical companies and lodge enter. tainments have been canceled. The board advises that all manner of con gregations of people be avoided dur ing the next week. Authorities claim that they are able to trace the present outbreak to a ball given two weeks ago Friday night by a secret organization, at which the costumes that had been sent out from an Eastern city were used by many present. William Illlngsworth, of Billings, Mont, was blown from a passenger train near Whitehall and fatally In jured. He Is the fourth member of the Illlngsworth family who has met a violent death within four years. Oearaic "Sa We Are Making Cut Prices on All Wint. Winter Is here now, and you prices.

Candidates for the honor huvu sprung up like the proverbial mush-i room, and each would claim some connect Ion with the departed chief tain which would entitle him to the appointment. One of the most, strenuous of the candidates has been Peo-peo-tal-aky, one of the subchlefe of the Nez Perce Indians, and a recognized politician among the Indians nf Northern Idaho. He was a nephew of Chief Joseph and claims to have been referred to fre quently by Joseph as un heir to the chieftainship. Peo accompanied Joseph to Wash ington and counclled with him in 1900 when the old chief conferred with the Indian department and General Miles In his last effort to have the Wallowa lands, which caused the Indian war of 1877, returned to him. On that trip while in New York city, the chief and Peo were the guesdr of Buffalo Hill. Allien waters, who was recently ap pointed temporary uhlef. Is also said to have aspirations toward the chief tainship. White Men Nut Wanted. The Indians themselves are very reticent about the appointment of a chieftain. They stoutly declare that at the time of tile apolntment and the attendant "potlatch" or feast, not single white man will be allowed. However, It has been learned on good authority from the government offi cials at the agency at this place that the grand council, when a selection of chief will be made, will be hold eurly In June. It Is also further stat ed that without a doubt, Willie An drews, a nephew of the late Chief Joseph, will be unanimously elected chief, and that Olicot. another nephew now residing In Montana, will be chosen subchlef. The grand council at which Chief Joseph's successor will be chosen will probably last a week or more. It will be attended by sev Jit , -' SHE KNEW. Mrs. Smith Is that fiction you're reading!

Hinee a claim to the chieftain ship was made some time ago by In dluns who are enmity with tho friends uf Chid' Joseph, the aged sister has been In much distress and finally de cided to have the minds of the white people set at rest by the publication of the process of electing the chief und the accompanying ceremony. Through Samuel Tilden, a-Nel Perce graduate ot the Carlisle Indian school, the aged woman said: "The election will take place next June, and will be accompanied by the greatest demonstration ever held J Hnce thRt me lt, ua the reservation. There are cus toms observed by our people for many generations, und one has been for the title ot chief to pass from the father to the oldest living son, but Joseph has left no offspring, This necessi tates a process that has occurred ouly a few limes in the history of the tribe and that Is the appointment a successor by a sister, the appoint ment being made at an assemblage of the general tribe and by the permis sion of the tribe, but the tribe cannot appoint over the head of the. stater. It Is a custom of the tribe that a successor shall not be namea ior several months after the deaWn of the former chief, said lt has been decided that the council and election shall be held In Juno. This will be tb great est Indian demonstration ever held In the Northwest and will be attended by membess from all the western tribes. The council will be In session for about a week, perhaps longer, and the festivities following the election will be srolonged for a month. The council will be a solemn ceremony, but th festivities will be celebrated by dancing and feasting." . . nwdtd J 3 THE PlSIZK .
