Dswey Recommeade One for
Dutch Harbor. Alaska.
Washington,
May
27.— Admiral
Dewey, as president of the General
Board, has made a report to Secretary
Moody, recommending the immediate
establishment of a coaling station at
Dutch Harbor, Alaska, and the erec
tion there of a coal depot with an
initial capacity of 5.000 tons. The es
timated cost o f the work is about $51,-
000. The money is now available. Be
lieving that the establishment of a
coal depot at this strategic point will
strengthen the United States on the
Pacific Coast, the President has hear
tily approved the plan, and prelimin
ary steps in the work have been taken
already.
•
Dutch Harbor la located on one of
the Aleutian Islands, and is on the di
rect commercial route between the
ports o f Behring Sea and Southern
Alaska and the Pacific Coast of the
United States. It la also in the line of
steamships passing through the Uni
mak. Pass, most of which make Dutch
Harbor a port o f call. Its use as a coal
depot site was first recommended by
Rear-Admiral Bradford, Chief of the
Bureau of Equipment. His recom
mendation was referred to the Gen
eral 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. Hdnolulu is the
sixth in the chain, and Guam probably
may ba added to the list.

LAND FOR RESERVE.
Big Withdrawal Made In Warner Valley
Section, Southern Oregon.
The interior department haa decided
upon another forest reserve for Oregon,
this time in Southern Lake county,
■n the Warner mountain country. By
direction of Secretary Hitchcock. the
vacant public lands in a tract of over
990,000 acres in Lake county, and 44)*
townships adjoining in Northern Cali
fornia, have been temporarily with
drawn from all entry, with a view to
tbeir examination to determine the id-
visability of treating a fero-t raseive
about the town of Lakeview. The
Oregon lands withdrawn are:
Town
ships 31 to 41 inclusive, ranges 18, 17,
and 18; townships 37, 38 and 41, range
19; township* 36 and 37, range 20;
townships 36 to 41 inclusive, ranges 21
and 22. all Tooth and east. The town
ship in whi'h Lakeview is located, and
the townships immediate);
north,
eouth and west, are not included in
the withdrawal.
A forest reserve in the Warner Moun
tain region is recommended by the
geological tnrvev, not cnly (or the pre
servation of the timber, but the con
servation of the water su « ly. Goore
lake lies in the center of the withdraw
al, and a numlier of ttieams whi,h
enpply it with water have tbeir bead-
waters within that region. Moreover,
the head»aters of Sprague river, Drews
i reek, Warner creek, and a number of
other streams would all be protected by
a forest reterve in this region.
In view of the development of irri
gation enterprises in Lake county and
in Northern California, the rreation of
this forest reserve is con-idered most
essential. The lands withdrawn are to
be examined this snmmer. and suth
tracts as are found unsuitable for re-
seivation will ultimately be testored to
entry. The remainder, beyond a ques
tion of doubt, will be ( ermanently re
served.
MILL AT LUCKY BOY MINE.
Contract Has Been Let for an Increase ol
Fifty Stamps.
•
A contract has been made bv the
Lucky boy company in the Bine river
district, for the machinerv to increase
the mill at the [trines to 60 stampr,
and other machinery for the operation
of the mine.
The ofthers of the com
pany have been negotiating for several
days witb the Union Iron works, of
San Francisco, and have let a large con
tract for machinery.
There will be an electric power
plant, which will be located on the
McKenzie river, oix miles from the
mine, from which power will be trans
mitted to tbe mine.
The machinery
will be increased to 100 stamps next
season, which will make it one of tbe
most extensive plants on the coast.
Work on the flumes, buildings, etc.,
(or the power plant will begin at once.
The improvement now projected will
involve an outlay of $95,000.
Surveying Crater Lake Park.
Superintendent W. F. Arant has re

ment as soon as the snow disappears

miles, have never been defined, and

Washington, May 26 .— United States
Consul McWade. at Canton, under
date of April 7, sent to the State De
pamuent a detailed report o f the fam
ine conditions In Kang Si, In suppoit
of ins cabled appeal for help. He pi o-
duced a mass of Information which
fie declares to be reliable from Amer
ican missionary and naval sources in
Kai Kwan Pin, Wu Chow and other
Places, snowing the destitution and
uie consequent suffering, which the
Consul-Geueral says, la absolutely ap-
paling. He says that thousands iu
their desperation were selling their
children train $2 to $5 each, yet so
many were offered and so few pur
chased that not all could be sold at
even this price. Mr. McWade says so
heartrending were tbe appeals for
assistance tuat he had contributed far
beyond his means, and would have
given more had he had tbe money.
When report was written the fam
ine was increasing greatly In In sever
ity and thousands were starving to
death. In one village 260 perished
from starvation, and he said that un
less something in the way of relief
came soon, thousands and thousands
will starve. Whole families were sub
sisting on a few ounces of rice a day,
and were eating herbs and leaves.
Unless the rice and other crops of
July, August and September proved
plentiful, the famine would only be
slightly alleviated. In conclusion, Mr.
McWade says:
"The natives feel that the Ameri
cans have come among them for their
and our mutual benefit, and not as
their enemies, nor to seize any of
their lands under any specious or
other pretenses. That feeling is em
phasized by the great charity of our
people at home. who. in their, earnest
efforts to relieve, and not to destroy,
know no religion, creed or nation.”

WHEN PENSIONS DATE FROM.
Indian Veterans Will Receive Pay From
June 27, 1902.
Washington, May 26.— The Interior
Department has decided that all pen
sions allowed under the Indian War
Veteran act, approved June 27, 1902,
shall be effective from the date of the
passage of the act. That is to say.
when a claim is allowed, the veteran
or his widow or other survivor draws
$8 a month from and after the date
of the allowance, and is granted, in
addition, an accrued pension at the
rate of $8 a month from June 27, 1902,
up to the date of the said allowance.
There has been some question in the
minds of the pension authorities as
to whether accrued pension would run
from 1902, when the act affecting the
veterans of the Pacific Northwest be
came a law. or from 1892. when the
original Indian War Veteran act, ap
plying to the Black Hawk survivors,
went on the statute books
The
later date was finally settled upon as
being the one intended by congress,
and all pensions hereafter allowed
will rarry this accrued pension, as
well as future allowances.
