FORESTRY BILL PASSED.
Secretary of he Interior Given Power to
Regulate he Forest Reservations.

Washington. Dec. 1.-THE bill to
protect forest reservations which was
bone OF contention during the last
session and which has twice been un-
der discussion during the present ses-
sion was finally passed to-day under
suspension OF the rules.
The motion to suspend the rules rem
dered the opposition helpless to pre-
vent vote and as the bill secured the
nescessary two-thirds Ii was passed.
The bill provides that no public for
est reservation shall be established ex-
cept to improve and protect the forest
WITHIN the reservation; securing favor
able conditions of water flow. 1t gives
the secretary OF the interior permission
TO make regulations for protection
against hre and depredations. 1t also
gives him authority to prescribe reyu-
auons under which dead or matured
trees may be removed. as made neces-
sary to preserve the remaining timber.
Under this authority. he is empowered
to sell such timber in limited uuanti-
ties to each purchaser. He is also au-
thorized to make detail of troops for
the protection of reservations The
Dill further provides for the restoration
OF agricultural and mineral lands in
forest reservations to the public do
main.
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to the army appropriation bill.
1t reduces the number of paynastar-s
by five and the number of captains in
the subsistence department by four-
and transfers the Fort Lcavenworth
military prison to the department OF
justice. The bill passed without
amendments.

DECEPTIVE APPEARANCES.
To Look at lie Wa. Not Much of .
Lawyer. hut Then


Said gentleman who is well
acquainted in the mountain countries:
al noticed in the city few days since
an attorney from an Eastern Oregon
county who came here to appear be-
fore Judge Fee in chambers He
wore a felt hat with no less than five
inches ofbrim- His neckgear was by no
means such as would be furnished by
a CITY outfitter. His coat was miser-
ably poor fit. and as for pantaloons.
they were decidedly picturesque The
bag in those pants hung out conspicu-
ously four or five inches below the
knee and the dust OF the street was
swept by the lower edges trailing
along behind him. The moustaches
worn by this attorney were and. of
course, are vet. such as to lend a
particularly fierce appearance to an
otherwise unique figure. As the law
yer passed along the street toward the
court house. some one inquired who
the person was and was informed he
was a disciple OF Blackstone
thought there was an amused express
sion on the inquircr's face.
..Now / wish he could have gone
with me to the lawyers house in one
of the mountain towns. He would
have been greeted by the lady of the
house in the most cultured manner.
Entertainment would have given evi-
dence of the presence OF refinement.
A library would have been At the vis-
itor's disposal composed OF some of
the rarest volumes extant- And these
volumes would be found 10 be as
familiar to my friend the attorney as
Mother Goose's melodies to the aver
age person. In the mind of this
attorney could be found wonderful
store of valuable information: facts
digested and with the meaning and
bearing on men and events extracted
therefrom; in short, one of the most
remarkable minds | have ever met.
And then | would enjoy watching tho
face of the inquiring man as that
attorney went before jury and
poured out a matchless and convinc-
ing eloquence. Educated literally.
trained in West Point military acad-
emy and for years captain in the
regular army. later thoroughly edu-
Gated in the law, that tall. peculiarly
accoutered lawyer would prove a most
agreeable surprise to one who came in
contact with his disciplined and we'll
filled mind. The name OF this person
age will occur to all members OF the
bar. 1t is the same as the title to one
of Sir Walter SCOTS best known
novels. Fast Oregonian.

Police Justice Patrick Diver arrived
home from his trip to California shortly
after midnight last night. He refused to

Justice Diver has been advised by his

he Will say is that he is preparing a
statement over his own signature in re-
ply to the charges that he insttgated
election frauds.
Diver will however, have to answer
to his constituents as to why he deserted
his henchmen when they were in trOu-
bic. He Is no, the kind Of leader they
wish to follow. Diver may find 1t ad-
visahle to resign. II he does not he may
be compelled to do so.

DID A BERG SINK HER L?
Sailors Fear the Apollo Is at the
Bottom of the Sea,
She May Have Come in Collision
with an Ice FIoe.
Has Not Been Heard From Sine,
Sailing on Feb. II.

Has the missing Wilson line steamship
Apollo been sunk after collision with an
iceberg? There seems to be some reason
for thinking so. according to the captains
of incoming steamers.
The Apollo sailed from this port on
Feb. II for Antwerp. Since then she has
not been heard from. During that time
the incoming steamers have reported
passing immense fields of ice in the path
OF ocean liners. and seamen on shore
danger to navigation.
There is no other terror quite so great
in the minds of sailors as an iceberg
In fog or at night there Is nothing
to indicate the presence of danger ard
the Apollo was in midocean be
brought to shore. Even after it lad be
come known that immense hergs had

Isle STAYED a hole In her port TOW and
Having no warning, it Is argued that
the Apollo would have been running at
full speed where. 1t Is now apparent, the
ice foes at that time were, and in case
OF collision. 1t is argued that the Apollo
might have been sent to the bottom.
Among others to advance this theory
/ is Capt. O'Hagan. Of the steamer Brit
ish King, which arrived this morning
dangerous fields of Ice afioat he took
an extreme southern course, passing
close to the Azores. and ne believes that
ie or some ether captain would have
sighted the Apollo before this had she
not come to grief.
The icebergs reported in the Atlantic
have been In the vicinity Of latitude 20
to 10, ana longitude 10 to 30. This is in
the path OF incoming and outgoing
steamers but at this season of the year
vessels are likely to alter their courses.
The Apollo may therefore have taken a
more northerly course than usual, and
in consequence the likelihood that she
struck berg at the time she was in
midocean Is greater.
The. theory is also advanced that she
may have run into drifting Ice. and that
her propeilers were Thereby crippled.
In this event. it is believed, she may be
drifting about helplessly. but II hemmed

escape are slight.

In sentencing Newton, Justice Brown
said he would take into consideration
the fact that in making a plea OF guilty
Newton had saved the county much
money, time and trouble.
1t was worthy Of certain considera ton
IN mitigation of the punishment Had
Newton been convicted the limit of his

He would not remit the fine nor the
Imprisonment.
