Let them go on. Let them use their

ments will be heard tomorrow In the
government's suit against the corres
pondence Institute of America for al
leged use of the mails to defraud, af
ter which Commissioner Searle will

that this will be In favor of the in

that the charges were largely the re
sult of false testimony given by a
discharged employe.
The Institute professes to team
drawing and illustrating by malt. A
large number of students testified
that the course was valuable, and
similar testimony was given by Supt.
Howell of the Scranton schools, Miss
Alice Morse, art Instructor at the
Scranton high school and other edu
cators. The government action h.u
o far caused the loss of about $10.
000 to the owners of the institute, and

AFRICAN GAME FOR
THE UNITED STATES
MOVE TO RESTOCK FORESTS
AND INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY
Incidentally Blow Is Aimed at Leath
er Trust Expedition Under Iieader
slilp of Biirnliain leaves for Dark
Continent. .
New York, March 2. To restock
the United States with game, thus in
creasing the food supply and Inci
dentally striking a blow at the leath
er trust, Is the purpose of an expedi
tion which set out for South Africa
today under the leadership of Major
Frederick Russell Burnham. Among
those interested in tho project of Im
porting animals, fish and fowl to Am
erica are said to be former Chief For
ester Gifford Pinehot, John Hays
Hammond and Congressman R. F.
Broussard of Louisiana.
A bill has been introduced in con
gress authorizing the secretary of
agriculture t expend $500,000 in the
Importation of wild animals, but as It
wilt not become a law this seasslon,
the men behind the project provided
the funds for the preliminary . expe
dition of Major Burnham. ,
"In the semi-arid regions of Afri
ca," explained Major Burnham,
"there are many varieties of animals
that thrive under conditions that
would bo impossible to the ordinary
domestic animals. They can live in
the rough country and are hardier
than goats. Their meat Is excellent
as food.
"For Instance, the bush buck would
thrive In the foothill regions and
seml-arld deserts of the southwestern
section of the United States and
would become a source of profit. This
is a browsing animal, about the size
of a deer. ' Its flesh Ib of a fine fla
vor and its hide makes one of the
best and strongest leathers known.
It Is commonly used by the Boers to
make forelashes on their exceedingly
long ox and stage whips.
"It is the purpose of my expedi
tion to secure and bring to America
some of the smaller and more useful
animals, send them to one of our
ranches In the west and when they
have become domesticated to .distrib
ute them throughout the country."

Tlirco Thousand Said to Be Dying
Daily and No One Can Foretell Ex
tent of Devastating Scourge.
St. Petersburg, Russia, March 2.
It will take "desperate" work to pre
vent the spread of the plague from
China into Europe and the western
world, according to Professor Julius
Beckmann of Vienna, who has just
arrived from the Manchurian plague
district. He said:
"People of the Occident cannot im
agine how terrible the epidemic is.
In Manchuria whole villages have
been swept away not a survivor left.
The epidemic will reduce the population-
of the country one-third to
one-half. . .Sometimes a village has
been left without an inhabitant in
five hours. That Is what bubonic Is
like.
"Xo one can answer whether the
epidemic will spread to Europe. It
is spreading like wildfire in Manchu
ria and it will require desperate work
to keep It from reaching Russia and
maybe further west."

GOVERU BUSY ON
From the nature of the preliminary
work now being done' by the govern
ment there can be no doubt that It Is
the intention of the reclamation ser
vice to go ahead with the extension
of the Umatilla project.
"The government now has about
100 men at work and there are sur
veying crews here and there all over
the extension," said Dr. M. S. Kern
this morning. "The surveyors are
not only working on the plans for the
reservoir but are also cross section
ing the project and digging test pits
here and there to test the water hold
ing qualities of the soil. All those
tests have resulted favorably."
According to Dr. Kern, the govern
ment has already purchased ten car
loads of lumber in' connection with
its work on the extension. Much of
the lumber is used for matting houses
for the working crews, while a large
amount is also used for boarding up
the test pits.

"JOKERS" IN BILLS
SEES PLOT TO KILL
NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE
Former Chief Forester Declures Carter
and Heyburn are Chief Plotters
Lumber Merchants Stirred to Ac
tion. Washington, D. C, March 2. Urg
ing lumbermen to bring all the pres
sure they can to defeat the "jokers"
Plnchot. former chief forester today
charged that Senators Heyburn of
Idaho, and Carter of Montana, were
the chief movers in the plot to kill
the national forestry service through
jokers in the agricultural appropri
ation bill. He spoke at a convention
of lumber merchants.
Pinehot said the Heyburn and Car
ter amendments would cause a com
plete abrogation of the country's for
estry policy. He said the Heyburn
amendment, which provides that all
land where the Is growing less than
4,000 feet of merchantible timber in
contlglous areas of 160 acres, shall be
excluded from the national forests,
would prevent the practice of fores
try. Stirred by PInchot's appeal the
lumbermen unanimously adopted a
resolution asking President Taft to ve
to the entire bill. The bill Is now In
conference.

DOUBLE TRACK
STARTS SOOII
Rate Decision not likely to
effect Portland-HunMngton
line Imprcvermnts
OFFICIALS PREPARE REPORT
FOR PRESIDENT LOVETT
Head of Ilarriman System and Other
High Officials Due to Arrive In
Portland Latter Part of Week
Epectel That Orders for Starting
Work W ill Be Issued at Once.
.Acting General Manager . M. J.
Buckley and a" number of operating
officials of the O.-W R. & N. are on
a tour of Inspection of the system for
the purpose of preparing a report to
President R. S. Lovett and Vice Pres
ident Kruttschnitt when they shall ar
rive in Portland, probably the latter
part of the week. It Is understood
that the principal report submitted to
the head of the Harriman system will
have to do with the double-tracking
of the main line from Portland to
Huntington, which betterment al
ready has been approved and is a
part of the $75,000,000 Union Pacific
Southern Pacific budget recently an
nounced. While there Is some belief that the
recent rate decision by the Interstate
commerce commission might have
the efiVct of curtailing expenses and
blocking all proposed extensions and
'mj-r 'jvements. it is not anticipated
that the decision will have any se
rious effect on projects already voted
on and approved.
The double-tracking which is like
ly to be ordered started at once after
President Lovett has had a confer
ence with local Harriman officials
will involve an expenditure of over
$5,000,000 during the year 1911, and
something like that sum for each of
the next five years during which the
Harriman system expects to spend the
$75,000,000.
The local officials on their present
tour have covered practically all of
the principal lines involved in the re
cent O.-W. R. &. X., the Oregon
Washington and the North Coast, or
"Strahorn" road, on which it is pro
posed to spend about $8,000,000 in
the next two years in cutting the dis
tance between Portland and Spokane
54 miles. This is another project
which will probably be taken up early
this spring.
Acting Manager Buckley hopes to
be able to persuade President Lovett
and Director Kruttschnitt to take a
trip up over the Deschutes railroad,
which is now completed to Crooked
river, in case these officials have the
time to give for such a slde,-trip dur
ing their stay in this territory.
While no definite information has
been received at Harriman head
quarters as to the time of the arrival
of the Lovett special from California
It is anticipated that the party wiU
reach Portland by the end of tho
week.
Vice President and General Mana
ger J. P. O'Brien, who has been on
a leave of absence for the past month,
may return to Portland with the par
ty, although the latest word received
from him was that he would not reach
Portland before March 7 or 8.
Since the Missouri Pacific has pass
ed into control of the Harriman "Pa
cifies" there have been many ' ru
mors that it would bo reorganized
and the system put into the hands of
some of the present higher-ups of
the Harriman coterie. In this con
nection, rumors have been spread
abroad to the effect that some changes
would be made in the executive de
partment of the roads in this terri
tory, but these reports cannot be
traced to any authoritative origin.
JAPAN WILL CONTINUE
