of the announcement that from 50,

fected with the dread pine beetle,
conies the announcement nt Kallspell
of A. Reynolds, a veteran ranger In
the service, that the lilackfeet national
forest is likewise affected, and that
the plague Is rapidly spreading.
Mr. Reynolds says millions of feet
on the south fork of the Flathead
are also blighted, and he declares the
wood-pecker Is the only practical cure
as the beetles spread too rapidly for
artificial means to remove them.
Thero are few woodpeckers In the
Lake McDonald region. Mr. Reynolds
declares If some natural disease does
not take them off the beautifully
wooded hills -of the Glacier National
Park will turn yellow and lose their
needles ns the beetles are spreading

Indianapolis. July 8. There will be
a tail to the comet when Colonel
Roosevelt flashes across the Indiana
political horizon speechmaklng in be
half of Senator Beveridge. Demo
cratic political leaders have been
awaiting this announcement for some
time apprehensively, and have been
figuring on a scheme to counteract
his Influence. It is practically de
cided that Roosevelt will tour the
stale immediately after the sup
porters of John Kern, Bryan's last
vice presidential running mate, now
candidate for Beveridge's toga, have
loured Indiana.
Senator Beveridge called upon the
colonel at Sagamore Hill yesterday
and when he came away he wore a
satisfied smile for he carried with
him a promise from the ex-president
to deliver a campaign speech for him
ut his approaching fight for re-election.
Feeling His Way.
Those who have followed the po
litical conferences at Oyster Bay
since Mr. Roosevelt's return, share
the belief that he has been feeling
his way cautiously in his attitude to
ward the administration and the ln
surgents, but yesterday's incidents are
considered the most important yet de
veloped. Senator Beveridge is mak
ing his fight for re-election as an In
surgent. He is opposed by John W.
Kern, who ran with Bryan in the last
campaign.
In his fight for senator he is plac
ing himself squarely against President
Taft on the tariff measure. The law
which the president has defended as
the best tariff measure ever enacted
is denounced by Senator Beveridge,
and tho same republican state con
vention that endorsed Beveridge for
another term virtually repudiated the
law. In the senate Beveridge fought
the bill to the last and then voted
against it.
It is pointed out. however, with this
exception. President Taft and the
senator from Indiana have been pull
ing together on administration poli
cies. There has been no break be
tween them. The president entrusted
to the senator the conduct of two ad
ministration hills at he last session of
congress the statehood bill and the
Alaska government bin. And al
though the senator worked with the
insurgents in the senate and had a
hand in the alteration of President
Taft's railroad bill, he supported the
administration regularly in the last
session when the votes were taken.
Governor Marshall will champion
Kern. He is immensely popular with
the citizens and opposed to many of
the Roosevelt policies. A warm time
is expected as Roosevelt is popular
and politicians say Ms expousing the
cause of Beveridge and insurgency will
intensify his popularity. The issue
is whether the legislature will re
elect Beveridge or elect a democratic
successor.
TEDDY PEEVED BECAUSE
HIS HAND IS FORCED
oyster Bay, July 8. Colonel Roose
velt has become Just a trifle angered
by the manner in which he Is being
pushed Into the Insurgent whirlpool.
While no doubt he thinks the water
ii ri-rnt ion bill was agreed to. At that i
time the president promised Oregon
would be fairly treated in the matter
ii further reclamation and Secretary
Rallinger did likewise.
However. Judtre Fills snvs the work i
upon the extension will not be under-j
taken until after the board of army i
engineers has first passed upon all
projects. As now arranged the army
All Oregon enterprises were remem
bered and In each. InUance congress
voted all the money recommended by
the engineers. For the Celilo canal
$600,000 was appropriated and this
sum will keep the work going until
is fine, the rush of the Insurgent
and progressives to Sagamore Hill
j and the graphic description sent by
all correspondents of the smiles they
wear whn they depart, has tended
to carry t'n.' Colonel toward a show
down f-i: '' r tiian he wants to go. He
announced that he would keep out of
politics for two months. There seems
not a little doubt but that he Is
welded to the Insurgents' cause.
Announcement Stirs Politics.
Washington, July 8. Politics dotted
with T. It. Is rioting through the cap
ital today following the announcement
that Roosevelt would take the stump
to espouse Beveridge's cause In In
diana. The proposed endorsement
puts Roosevelt more squarely in line
with the Insurgents than any action
he has taken since his return. The
regulars are hoping Roosevelt will
confine his remarks to an eulogy of
Beveridge and not touch on the re
publican state platform which was
dictated by Beveridge himself and
which slapped the regulars' pet meas
ures and practically repudiated the
tariff bill and endorsed the Taft ad
ministration conditionally. The op
ponents of Taft profess to see no re
bellion on the part of the colonel in
endorsing Beveridge.
TEDDY CUTS WOOD

New York, July 8. Plunging into

Acres from Public Domain.
SIX STATES ARE
AFFECTED BY ORDER

Dakotas, Washington, Utah, Colo
rado and Arizona Taken From Pub
lic Domain by Act of President
TaR Lands Withdrawn From Sal
Settlement, location or Entry.
Beverly, Mass., July 8. Contin
uing his policy of practical conserva
tion. President Taft late last night
signed orders to withdraw 35,073,164
acres of coal lands from the public
domain in the states of North and
South Lawota, Washington, Utah,
Colorado and the territory of Arizona.
Of the total withdrawals, 20,698,
469 acres are new, while 14,374,61
acres are covered In confirmations
and ratifications under the new law,
approved June 25, if withdrawal!
made during the last four years by
both Presidents Roosevelt and Taft.
North and South Dakota are the
two states affected by the new with
drawals. From the public domain la
North Dakota the president has with
drawn from settlement 17.828,181
acres of land believed to contain
workable coal In South Dakota, the
amount withdrawn is 2,870,287 acre.
Previous withdrawals confirmed by
the president last night are divided
among the several states as follows:
Washington 2,207,967 acres; Arizona
161,280; Utah 5.816,287 acres; Colo
rado 6,191,161 acres.
The withdrawal orders prepared bj
the geological survey and approved
by the secretary of the interiar, reach,
ed Beverly from Washington late last
night. They were sent to the Taft cot
tage on Burgess Point, where they
were signed by the president. Thle
was announced as one of the few Im
portant matters that will be called to
Mr. Taft's attention during his ten
days of real vacation.
All the withdrawals and confirm
ations were made under the law passed
at the last session of congress which
definitely authorized the president to
withdraw various lands from entry
pending their calssification and spec
ial disposition by congress.
The president urged this law as the
first step in his plan for practical
conservation. He hones to imiif n.
, ditional legislation at the coming ses-
o.o nj. conyirss dealing Wlin me
terms under which water power sitea,
coal, petroleum and phosphate lands
may be disposed of. In Colorado the
various orders of withdrawal confirm
ed last night date from July 26. 1908.
to June 21. 1910; in Utah, from July
26, lt06. May 9.. 1910: In Arizona from
November 29. 1909. to December 28,
1909, and in Washington from July '26,
1906 to April 7. 1909. In withdrawing
the vast amount of new land's In
North and South Dakota, the president
and Secretary Balllnger have acted
principally on a report by Arthur G.
Jaffa, a practical miner employed by
the geological survey.
Director George Otis Smith of the
geological survey, in his recommen
dation for withdrawals In North and
South Dakota says;
"A consideration of the Information
available here as well as of the re
port of Mr. Jaffa leads us to the con- '
elusion that there are large areas In
these states which are underlaid by
lignite considered workable under the
present regulations and which should
In withdrawn from entry."
All the orders state that the lands
are "withdrawn from settlement lo
cation, sale or entry and reserved for
examination and classification with re
spect to coal values."
President Taft early this week sign
ed orders withdrawing. approximately
8.500.000 acres of water power sites,
phosphate and petroleum lands in the
United States and all of the known
coal fields in Alaska.
