President Roosevelt, before leaving for Panama, signed a proclamation creating four new forest reserves in Idaho, and en larging two others, adding to the re serve area of the state 7,406,556 acres. He created every reserve recommend ed by the Forest Service, Including the Shoshone reserve in Northern Idaho, which was so vigorously fought by Senator Heyburn. Creation of these reserves exemplifies the admin istration's disregard of Heyburn's pro test and leaves Heyburn nothing more to fight for. Great Coeur d'Alene Reserve. The Shoshone reserve is created in conjunction with the Coeur d'Alene reserve, adjoining it on the north, and two others to be known as the Coeur d'Alene Teserve. Their aggregate area is 2,250,000 acres. They lie in Sho shone and Kootenai counties, extend ing northward to the middle of Lake Bend d'Oreille. In creating these various reserves It Is stated that all their natural re sources will be available for use and development, but they will be admin istered by the Forest Service, placed under the protective system and tim ber cutting will be restricted to ma ture timber. The Coeur d'Alene re serve is the largest of the lot. Lemhi and Kootenai. The Lemhi reserve, next in size, em braces 1,346,460 acres in Lemhi and Custer counties. This reserve con sists of three narrow strips of land running northwest and southeast ad joining the Montana boundary. In numerable streams that empty into the Lemhi river head in this territory. In extreme Northeastern Idaho, on the British Columbia and Montana lines, 165,240 acres have been re served, forming but a small segment of the larger Kootenai reserve in Montana. Like the Lemhi this re serve lies on the west slope of the Rocky Mountains. Great Tract on Salmon River. The Salmon River reserve in Lemhi and Custer counties embraces 2,201, 120 acres. It comprises a solid block of mountainous country lying between the Salmon River and the middle fork of the Salmon river. In Cassia and Oneida counties 291, 976 acres have been set apart as the Raft River reserve, embracing many tributaries of Raft River and Deep creek. Numerous additions are made to the Sawtooth reserve, their aggregate area being 1,371,760 acres. These addi tions are made at various points along the present boundary. Freight Cart By the Thousand.

Gamb ling Is already absolutely- prohibited in the canal son. , GO AFTER HARRIMAN Railroad . Commission Scents An other Big Trust. AIM WAS TO NEUTRALIZE CANAL Combine Was Like Old Northern Se curities Company Fish Gives Commission the Tip. THE HARRIMAN SYSTEM. The Harriman system has three, main lines between the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast, which under separate ownership are natural competitors for traffic originating east of their eastern termini or destined to points east of those termini. The main line of the Union Pacific extends from Omaha to Ogden, where it connects with the Central Pacific, extending from Ogden to San Fran cisco. The Oregon Short Line extends from Granger to Pocatello and the O. R. & N. from Pocatello to Portland. These two lines combined are natural competitors of the Union Pacific and Central Pa cific. The Kansas Pacific extends from Kansas City to Denver and is a natural competitor of the Union Pacific main line. i The Southern Pacific extends from New Orleans to Los Angeles, and thence to San Francisco and north to Port land, forming a natural competing line with the other lines described. The acquisition of control of the Hli- nois Central by Harriman gives him a line from Omaha to Chicago and thence to New Orleans, thus connecting the eastern termini of his several lines and enabling him to route traffic from and to eastern points by any of them. It practically makes him supreme in the whole territory west of the Missouri river and south of the Columbia river in the. West and of Omaha in the East. Washington, Nov. 10. A general in vestigation of what is known as the Harriman system of railroads, under the authority conferred by law, is one of the subjects which have been discussed for some time by the Interstate Com merce Commission, and that body, it is said, really stands committed to an in' quiry. " "We have been informed." a mem' ber of the Commission said recently, tnat tnis system m some of Us fea tures is not unlike the Northern Securi ties Company, which was dissolved through the interposition of the Attor ney-General of the United States." Any steps which may be taken by tne commission along tne lines referred to will be, it is said, in accordance with the general powers of the Commission conferred by law,' and not because of any immediate specific complaint of a violation of toe statutes. During the Fisb-Harriman contest for the control of the Illinois Central Bail- way, it was hinted that data would be placed in the bands of the Government whereby it could get the official jack screws under the Harriman system and discover many interesting things. The Commission wil begin the task early in the new year.'!: . ' This investigation will be of as much importance, in all probability, as was that which the Commission made into the combination of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, which, as the Northern Securities Company, was dis solved by order of the Supreme Court under the anti-trust law. In one. way, the action of Harriman resembles that of J. Pierpont Morgan and James J. mu in allying the Northern Racine with the Great Northern. He controls the Union Pacific, the Southern Pacific and the Oregon Short Line, which should be competing roads, in the judg ment of the Commission, and now he has the Ilinoii Central and the Baltimore Ohio, which makes him a big factor in determining transcontinental rates. Fol lowing its investigation of the com bination of the Great Northern and the Northern Pacific, the Commission trans mitted testimony to the Department oi Justice which used it to bring about the dissolution of the Northern Securi ties Company, i JBeven Die and Eleven Rescued. rv,..i4i.i t tr t xr in . la the wreck of the full-rigged Finnish ship Zovinto on Carew's Reef during the hurricane Tuesday night seven of the crew lost their lives and 11 were rescued.

According to returns received up to an 'early- hour this morning, Charles E. Hughes, Re' publican candidate for Governor, has been elected by 60,000 or more plural Ity. Outside of Greater New York, with 160 election districts missing, Mr. Hughes has a plurality of about 124,' 000. In Greater New York with 69 election districts missing, W. R. Hearst, the Democratic and Independ' ence League candidate, has a plurality of 75,036. Mr. Hearst carried all the boroughs of theegreater city, despite the fact that the early returns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn. No definite figures are yet available as to the results with regard to the state officers, and both Democrats and Republicans are claiming victories from Lieutenant-Governor down. The indications are that the State Legislature will show little change in its political make-up. The Tammany Judiciary ticket in New York County, with the exception of Otto Rosalsky for General Sessions Judge, Republican, has been elected. The Judiciary nominators ticket was defeated. State Chairman Max F. Ihmsen, of the Independence League, claims that Hearst has been elected. He sent out late last night telegrams to all Inde pendence League watchers to be on guard to Bee that the vote was counted. New York, Nov. '.According to in complete returns from all over the state received up to 10:30 p. m., Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, has been elected Governor of New York state over William Ran dolph Hearst, the nominee of the Democratic party and the Independ ence League, by approximately a plur ality of 40,000. Two years ago Gov ernor Higgins was elected on the Re publican ticket by 80,560. Some doubt was expressed tonight as to the fate of the Democratic and Independence League tickets outside of Mr. Hearst, several of the New York newspapers which have been support ing Mr. Hughes declaring that there was a chance for the subordinate offi cers of the Democratic and Independ ence League combination having been elected. Tbe latest figures seems to indicate that Mr. Hughes plurality above the Bronx exceed 115,000. To offset this, Mr. Hearst's plurality in Greater New York will probably be from 75,000 to 80,000. In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick H. McCarren made a bitter fight against Mr. Hearst, the latter carried the borough by a small plurality, prob ably 4,000. At one time it seemed that Hughes had been successful in Brook lyn, but the late returns were all strongly in favor of the Democratic candidate. Mr. Hearst has been given a major ity of nearly 70,000 In Manhattan and the Bronx. Queens county, which in cludes Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by from 6,000 to 8,000, and Richmond, Staten Island, has also given the Democratic candidate a plurality.

TP BRIDGES GONE Disastrous Floods In Willamette Valley Streams. RESULT OF CONTINUOUS RAINS Main Line of Southern Pacific Block aded Santlam and Clackamas Raging Torrents. Portland, Nov. 8. Floods in the Santlam and Mollala rivers, cauBed by the recent rains, have washed away two Southern Pacific bridges and ren dered another unsafe. The main line of the Southern Pacific is effectually blockaded, perhaps for weeks. The bridge across the Santlam at Jeffer son was carried away last night, block ing the main line. The South Santlam bridge on the Woodburn-Natron branch was washed out yesterday. The Mollala bridge Is so shaky that It will not permit the passage of tralnB. The' bridge of the O. W. P. across the Clackamas near Oregon City Is unsafe. Other damage has been caused and at a late hour last night the streams con tinued to rise. Passenger trains to California and the Upper Willamette valley are being routed over the West Side division of the Southern, Pacific to Corvallls and. ovei the Corvallis & Eastern tracks to Albany, beyond which place the- Southern Pacific's line is reported clear.. Freight is refused at Portland for points north of Albany on the East Side. Local passengers and freight service will be maintained between the wrecked bridges. The Overland leaving Portland yes terday morning had a narrow escape from a disastrous wreck. A scant half hour after the train crossed the bridge 100 feet of the falsework sup porting the structure was swept away. The river continued to rise rapidly and late last night the remaining false work went out, allowing the 205-foot steel span of the new bridge in process of erection to fall into the raging river. The Santlam bridge has been under going reconstruction for some time- and falsework had been built to sup port the weight of trains while the old- wooden structure was being replaced with a new steel bridge. Had the new bridge been In or the old one left in tact no damage would probably have occurred. The Overland train, due In Portland last night, was diverted from the main line at Albany and this ar rangement will be continued until t damage is repaired. Passenger trains, will be -operated locally between Port land and Jefferson. A wrecking crew was put to work at the bridge yesterday and an attempt made to save it from going out, bt the Santlam, swollen by the heavy rains of the past few days, continued to rise rapidly. - At a late hour last night it was reported as rising six inches an hour. The flood also disabled the Southern Pacific bridge on the Woodburn- Nat ron line, and caused heavy damage to sawmill men by the breaking of booms. Quantities of cord wood be longing to the Lebanon paper mills were also washed away. Reports from Jefferson indicate that much more damage will be done before the flood subsides. THE NEXT CONGRESS.
