Ths latter seotlon Is aproxlmately 120 miles from east to west, varying In width from six to 18 miles. The Blue Mountain section varies in width from 15 to 40 miles, and extends due south from the Umatilla Indian reservation for 100 miles to its Intersection with the Straw berry Mountain withdrawal, the two forming a right angle. These combined withdrawals embrace about 80 townships. Including the headwaters of the John Day, Sllvies, Crooked Malheur, Grand Ronde and Powder Rivers and number less tributary streams, f . The recommended PowDer River Moun tain: withdrawal embraces about 28 town ships in Baker, Union and Wallowa Counties, the tract being 46 miles from ' ' east to west, and 18 miles tnorth and south, with a corner of the 80 square miles added on the northwest. This tract Includes the headwaters of the Wallowa and Grand Ronde Rivers and their tribu taries south and west of Enterprise.

Two boys ran away from the Reform School yesterday, and the officers of. tht Institution had a long and weary hunt before the lads were finally run down near Aumsville and taken back to the school. For a ttme the school was not troubled with runaways, the boys fear ing to make a break after , the escape of Tracy and Merrill from the penitentiary near by, as they gauged the temper of the people to be such that they would receive scant courtesy. But since the hue and cry after the escaped convicts has died down, the Reform School boys are making up for lost time, and run aways are the order of the day. Some of the officers have been out almost every day for a week, chasing runaway boys, but in all cases the escapes have been caught.

MONKEY TALK. Species of Borneo Understand What Men Say to Them. NEW YORK, July 23. Alter nearly seven years spent mainly in the wild re gions of Borneo and Sumatra, John D. Gilllnan, a mining engineer, arrived here last Sunday in' the Etrurla. He was at the Fifth-Avenue Hotel last week and hoped to remain for some time, but he sailed for Holland yesterday in response to a cablegram and will soon be On his way to the netherlands of India. Mr. Gilllnan has become a convert to the Darwinian theory of evolution, for in his travels he saw many tailless black apes, many of whom, he says, have hand somer features than some human be ings. They have, he says, a nomencla ture of their own which strongly re sembles the dialects of some of the na tive tribes. These apes, he claims, un derstand many things said to them and are revered by the natives. "There Is great opportunity for American capital and skilled labor In Borneo and Sumatra," remarked Mr. Gilllnan. "Especially Is this true In ter ritory controlled by the Holland Dutch. Ever since the outbreak of the Boer War the Dutch have favored Americans at the expense of the English. "The country Is full of valuable timber, mahogany and teak predominating. The ground 1a full of gold, diamonds, oil, coal, and platlna, but It has not been developed to any extent because modern machinery la lacking and the coolies who do the bulk of the manual labor can not stand the climate. The Dutch are poor hands at mining, but are gradually waking up to tho fact that the purchase of Ameri can machinery will prove a profitable in vestment. "An American Is treated like a king by the Dutch. The latter need capital. A poor man has no business in either Bor neo or Sumatra. Much of the so-called Java coffee comes from Sumatra. The best of it Is shipped to the United States, and the culls go to Europe. "Boston capitalists control the rattan trade and the business is rapidly grow ing; the Americans will soon have the bulk of the Sumatra tobacco field. There are large tin and maganese deposits In Sumatra' and Borneo which ought' to prove profitable If properly handled." Death of Mrs. Monlieth. Mrs. Ima Storey Montieth, of Albany, died at the residence of her mother, Mrs. E. Storey, 63 East Eighth street, North, early last evening, aged 44 years. Mrs. Montieth has been in' very poor health for about tour years, ever since her hus band died hear Skagway, Alaska. Her health has been dlspalred of a num ber times since 'then. Two children, a boy and a girl, survive her. Ths body has boon prepared for shipment, and will be sent for .burial at Albany tbla after noon . ' ...
