A MISTAKEN POLICY.

The question of allowing the pastur-
ing of the Cascade Forest Reserve is
again receiving considerable attention,
owing to recent decision made by
Commissioner Lamoreaux to the effect
that sheepowners driving their flocks
on to the reserve would be prosecuted
for tresspass. The principal reason,
or reasons, for there are two given, for
this ruling are:
1. That the sheep destroy the un-
dergrowth, which if allowed to remain
would protect the snow, keep up the
streams in summer, prevent spring
floods and retain the moisture in the
ground: and
2. That the sheepmen set fires to
the underground and thus destroy mil
lions of feet of valuable timber.
The premises are as faulty as the
conclusions. There are probably half
a million sheep that find pasturage
within the reserve for from three to
five months of the summer and fall.
Yet so vast is the area that unless the
trails were followed by which the
sheep enter the mountains it would be
almost impossible to find band of
them. Through the heavier timbered
portions man might travel for weeks
and not see sheep. As for the under
growth, all the sheep in the United
States could hardly keep it down, and
all the ravages the sheep have ever
made upon it are imperceptible. As
for the second proposition it will not
bear inv .stigation. Sheepmen do not
set fires, and for the best of reasons
they could not do sowithout endanger-
ing their focks. Every summer Ore
CONS timber suffers from fires, but
they are not of the sheepmen's max
ing. Most of the sheep are pastured
on the eastern slope of the Cascades.
while most of the fires are on the
western side. Most of the fires start
from clearings made either by the set
tier or the mill man. In the former
case the underground is slashed and
fred Intentionally and through care
lessness the fire gets into the. tiEb--r
happens where the mill men work, and
where the torch is applied to get rid of
the tops, or fires start accidentally.
There are twenty fires on the west
slope of the mountains where there
are no sheep to where there is one on
the eastern side where the sheep are.
If fire is started by sheepman it is
srfe to say that it is unintentional, for
his interests are in the protection of
the timber and underground, not in |
their destruction. Another prolific |
source OF fires is the camper, the hunt
ing and fishing parties who have ac-
cess to the reserve, who are careless
about their camp-fres which being
often built by the side of some large
log will burn for days, until finally
favorable breeze will fan the flames
and start a destructive fire. The pas
turing of sheep on the reserve does
not damage it. AS matter of fact
the reservation never should have
been made; nor would it have been
made except for the representations of
q lot of city rod and gun people, and
men with mountain resorts, who
thought they had a snap. AS it is the
reserve receives ten times more dam
age yearly from hunting and fishing
parties than it does from the sheep
men, sheep and all.

| The Peopie OF salvador Ready to Receive

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The steam.
er Celia has arrived from Salvadorean
ports. Captain Johnson reports that
the little erepublic, the control of which
is so ardently desired by Antonio
Ezeta, is in state of feverish unrest.
Rumors have been thick at all the
ports at which the Celia stopped con-
cerning the coming of Ezeta to capture
Salvador. A warm reception awaits
him.
"They are up in arms there" said
Captain Johnson. "At Acajutla, La
Libertad and La Union the beach is
full Of soldiers, and at other ports
there were guards, all waiting for him.
''They told me the friends OF Eseta
were suffering for his acts. No less
than half dozen wealthy men were in
the chaingang, but what charges were
made against him could not find out.
"Guitterez, the president of the re-
puDllC, udu du lHIeTNleN Will buo
presidents of Honduras and Nicaragua
at La Union, while was in Salvador.
The president and his generals, about
25 in number, came back overland to
Ell Triumpho, and I carried them to
La Libertad. What the conference
was about l do not know"
According to Captain johnson, Bus
tamente, Ezeta's aid, was shot, and
there was no boiling oil poured on him.
1t is said that Ezeta has many friends
in Salvador, but that they are afraid to
open their mouths lest they be i'm
prisoned. These have faith in their
leaders return. They think he can
get assistance from Diaz, of Mexico,
and with this backing, Barrios, of |
Guatemala, will not dare oppose him.
so that he will be able to. march |
Barrios' country and get into
Northern Salvador.

4 N.EW DANGER.

The American people looked on at
first with mild-mannered amusement
while the American heiresses were
captured by foreign titles, or to put it
more strongly while they purchased
foreign titles; but lately it has caused
genuine alarm. Hundreds of millions
of dollars are captured annually by
foreigners with titles, and the money
goes out Of the country. Now new
danger somewhat on the same lines
threatens US. An Italian estate that
carries with it the title of duke is Of
fered for sale for the sum of $1,000 900.
1t has been offered in turn to Rookie
feller, Vanderbilt, Hobart and James
Gordon Bennett, and perhaps to Frank
G. Newlands, at present congressman
from Nevada, leader of the free silver
rapty of that state and son-in-law to
the late VIM. Sharon. 1t was bad
enough to lose our girls and their
money, but if it comes to losing our
of the male persuasion,
something will have to be done. We
could stand the loss of the millionaires
themselves, but the money is the
serious portion of the loss. Should
the scheme work it is liable to cause
some rare combinations. just imagine
the new Italian duke fresh from Amer
lea, with an Irish brogue, German
accent, or that rich Yankee nasal
twang peculiar to Americans. monkey
ing with thesoft sibilants of the Ro-
man tongue. Imagine the Irish
American satisfying his thirst with
light wines, his hunger with macaroni
md cheese, or Frank G.. Newland's
16 to garlic and washing
t down with liberal libations of sweet
oil. The American duke would be no
great acquisition to Italian society,
out he would be an everlasting source
If amusement for the whole world.

CRY OF MEXICO, January &c. The ar

ble war fever throughout this district.
A yet nobody outside the foreign of.
nee, has seen the reply. Rumors of
eFery sort are ahOat, most Of them to
the effect that the GuatemaIan govern
ment cOvets once more the old ground,
seeking at once to evade the issue and
secure delay.
Ignacio Mariscal, minister of foreira
affairs, would say nothing of the docu-
ment last night except that it was
enormously long and would be laid be.
fore the cabinet meeting today. A
statement is expected from the govern.
ment soon after this meeting, although
Senior Mariscal declined 10 say that il
would be made.
The war scare has taken possession
OF almost everybody, foreign and m.
dive. Most of the foreign ministers
here are said to have influenced theit
governments that the war Is almost in
evitable. The governxneut is buying
horses and is working its small arm
factory night and day with double the
usual number of men. The manufac-
ture of ammunition is pressed forward
with the equal haste. The governor Of
the Federal district has offered Presi-
dent Diaz two batalions to 90 to the
front the moment war shall be declar-
ed. It's understood, however. that the
government does not intend to begin
che war on land. The first hostile step.
If Guatemala still refuses to weld. will
be to blockade her ports. Foreigners
here express some doubt as to the effec.
tiveness of such 4 blockade, since the
Mexican navy has but half dozen small
crafts, manned by hardly five hundred
seamen and officers.
No information as to the Mexican.
Guatemalan difficulty could be obtain.
ed from any trustworthy source this
morning. The ministers and ministrial
newspapers are entirely nun-committal.
The situation may not be altered by de.
cisive action in the cabinet TODAY. 1t
Is expected, however, that on Monday
at the latest the government will de.
clare itself.

WASHINGTON, January 9e.-The de-

Honolulu will shortly be followed by d
general movement of the ether vessels

lying idle for many weeks in the placid
waters of San Francisco bay. Now
that it has been finally decided to send
these vessels off on cruise where they
nay be of some service TO the govern

one Of them may be dispatched to the
long neglected islands Of Samoa, in or
der that the United States may live up
to its treaty agreement with Great
Britain and Germany for the joint pro-
lection of the existing government.
The president has recommended that
the United States withdraw from that
agreement, but congress does not seem
to be inclined to take such action.
