NGW COALINO STATION.
Admiral Dewey Recommend! One for
Dutch Harbor, Alaska,
Washington, May 27. Admiral
Dewey, ns president of the General
Hoard, has made a report to Secretary
Moody, recommending the Immediate
establishment of a coaling station nt
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, ami the erec
tion there of a coal depot with nn
Initial capacity of 5.000 tons. The e
timated cost of the work Is about (51p
000. The money Is now available. Re
lieving that the establishment of n
coal depot at this strategic point will
strengthen the United States on the
Pacific Coast, the President haa. hear
tily approved the plan, and prelimin
ary steps In the work have been taken
already.
Dutch Harbor is located on one of
the Aleutian Islands, and Is on the di
rect commercial route between the
ports of Retiring Sea and Southern
Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the
United States. It Is also In the lino of
steamships passing through the I'nl
mak. Pass, most of which make Dutch
Harbor a port of call. Its use as n coal
depot site was first recommended by
Rear-Admiral Bradford, Chief of the
Bureau of Kqulpmont. Ills recom
mendation was referred to the Gen-
ral Board, and Is now about to be
executed according to his plans.
Dutch Harbor will form the fifth
In the chain of coal depots along the
Pacific Coast, which will begin at San
Diego and Include San Francisco, Pu
get Sound and Sitka. Honolulu Is the
sixth In the chain, and Guam probably
may be added to tho list.

the Henry George Association here
today on the "Perils of Trades Un

jien eaten trade unionism, specu

caught the fever of combination until
It has gone mad over corporations and
trusts. Likewise, labor has caught
tne lever ol trade unionism and with
out knowing what It means or real
Izlng how It may be of real service to
tne world, has turned Its power and
energy in the direction of building up

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON .
LAND TOR RHSURVU.
Idg Withdrawal Made In Warner Valley
Section, Southern Oregon,
Tho lntorlor department has decided
upon anothor forest reserve for Orcgou,
this timo In Southern Lake county,
In tho Warner mountain country. By
direction of Secretary Hitchcock, tho
vacant public lands in a tract of over
IHiJ.OCO acres In Lake county, and 44 h
tosrnsltlpi adjoining in Northern Cali
fornia, have been temporarily with
drawn from nil entry, with n view to
their examination to determine the ad
visability of creating a forest reectvo
about tho town of Lakevlow. The
Oregon lands withdrawn are: Town
ships .14 to 41 inclusive, ranger 10, 17,
and 18; townships 37, 38 ami 41, rango
10; townships 3(1 and 37, 'rango 20;
township) 30 to 41 Inclusive, raugoi 21
and 22. all touth and east. Tho town
ship in wht h I-akevlow is located, and
the townships immediately north,
south and west, aro not included In
the withdrawal.
A forest reserve in tho Warner Moun
tain region ! recommended by the
geological survey, not cnlj for tho pre
servation of the timber, but the con
servation ot tho water lu n ly. Goote
lake lies in the center of the withdraw
al, and a number of itieama whitli
supply it with water have their head
waters within that region. Moreorer,
the headwaters of Spragtte river, Drews
reek, Warner creek, and a number ol
other streams would all be protected by
a forest rerervo in this region.
Inviowof thoileveloi ment ot Irri
gation enterprises in Lake louutr and
in Northern California, tho creation of
this forest reserve is considered most
essential. Tho lands withdrawn are to
br examined this summer, and suili
tracts as are found unsuitable for re-
seivation will ultimately be restored to
entry. The remainder, beyond a ques
tion of doubt, will bo ermanently re
served. KUmath County Fair.
The Klamath county agricultural
association is preparing for tno big

arrneed great interest and a determina

Died at Oreat Age.
Joseph Bashaw, who, as hear as can

haired man.
Fruit Outlook Bright.
Prune growers frcm different parts ol
Marion and Polk counties report that
their trees are In excellent condition
and promise an enormous crop. The
