In Clevcland-Strikors Waive Certain
Portions of Their Demands.
CLEVELAND. O., June 1s.-The ofil-
cials OF the Big Consolidated Railway
company were evidently surprised to-
day by the success which attended the
effort to move their cars. While every
car yesterday was surrounded by
howling mob, there was no disturbance
OF any Kind today. While this was due
In partSto the vigilance of the police,
who prevented the assembling OF
crowds, 1t was mainly attributable to
tho fact that the strikers made no ef-
fort to induce non-unIon men to quit.
In fact, the strikers remained away
from the cars. and they were operated
on one line at intervals of about thirty
minutes. carrying few passengers dur
Ing the latter part of the day.
There Is n feeling on the part OF the
members of the state board of arbltra-
tlon that they can bring about set
tlement of the differences in spite of
the declaration OF the directors Of the
company that they would not arbltrate
the main question at lssue-the recog-
milton Of the union. It Is stated this
evening that the strikers are willing
to waive the two sections OF their pro-
p9SSSi 8SfttiitHt WIN Itne company
which give the union the right to de-
mand the discharge Of men and COM
pei the company TO force men to Join
the union within sixty days after they
nre employed. Whether the company
Will consent to arbltrate the other sec
t!ons Of the agreement can not be told
until tomorrow morning. :,
The fact that some or the employees
OF the Little Consolidated company
asked for meeting with the strikers to-
night is accepted as an indication that
the former are ready to go out on a
sympathetic strike X asked to do SO.
The officers of the Little Consolidated
say. however. that they have no fear
OF n strike. and some Of their men who
have been interviewed declare that
they have nothing to strike for.
The Big Consolidated officials say
they hnve almost enough new men to
operate the road. and II Is certain that
nearly hundred nor-unionists were
brought In from other cities today.

With Heavy Loss.

MANILA, June 13. G:o5 p. m.-General
Lawton unexpectedly stirred up one of
the liveliest engagements Of the war
south of the Las Pinas this morning,
upon which occasion American field
guns were engaged in the first artillery
duel against a Filipino battery, con-
cealed in the jungle.
Companien + and of the Twenty
first infantry were nearly surrounded by
n large body of insurgents, but the
Americans cut their way out with heavy
loss.
The United States turrett ship Monad-
mock and the gunboats Helena and Ia
fro trained their batterieson Bakoor and
the rebel trenches near Las Plnas all
the morning. Bakoor was once on fire
but the natives stopped the spread of
the flames.
During the night an Insurgent cannon
was fired three times at the Americans
on the outskirts of Las Pinas.

II every man could live an outdoor life.
passing his time with gun and fishing rod

Of this unhealthy, sedentary living is the

oREGoN's VANISHING FORESTS

Save your timber sounds like
strange admoniton to give 10 oregoni-
ans, but II is a truism that no one viii
dispute If they will but take the trouble
to observe how fast the once maichless
forests OF this state are being devastated.
Take even the once neglected balm timber
from being a cumbrance TO the ranch
ers when clearing up their river bottom
farms, Il has become one Of the most
valuable Of the woods of oregon. Since
the establishment Of she big paper mills
at Oregon City millions of feet Of this
wood has been ground up for paper max.
ing and so scarce has It become, even so
soon as this, that the lOggers supplying
chs timber are now cutting everything
down 10 10 inches in diameter. At the
present rate Of consumption It will be
but a few years until the balm forests
are a thing Of the past. To provide
against mis- exigency the Willamette
Pup & Paper Company, Of oregon
city is buying up hundreds Of acres OF
low land along the Willamette river and
planting il 10 balm. It is expected that
this new growth will be large enough to
make good paper wood in from % to s5
years.
The great bodies Of cedar that were
once a mine Of wealth 10 the logger and
saw=millmen are thing Of the past ana
now the woods are being searched for
scattering trees and down timber. Ten
years more the cedar lumber and shingle
business Of Oregon will practically be
at an end. BY that time the only cedar
timber left vii De in inaccessible places
IN the mountains, from which the cost
Of transportation will preclude its being
gotten to market
Spruce, which never was 50 very plent''
fu, being confined to the coast counties
is disappearing even more rapidly than
the cedar. The demand for this wood
has increased at a very rapid rae of
recent years. No timber has been found
to equal it for boxes Of all kinds, especi-
ally for fruit and butter boxes, it not
giving an unpleasant taste to such sem
sative articles as these.
Immense quantities Of it are also used
for wine and other casks and barrels, for
which a sweet favored wood is essential.
II is one Of the best woods known for
making paper pulp and the paper mills
Of This state are using great quantities
of it. Like the cedar, there is little
young spruce growing up TO keep up
the supply and the spruce forests bid
fair TO soon be a thing of the past.
The FIR forests Of this state, which en'
thusiastic oregonians are ever pronounc-
ing fnexhaustible, are like the cedar and
spruce, rapidly disappearing.
30 great has the lumber industry be.
como that thousands Of acres Of fine fir
timber is cut of each year and following !
the logger comes the fire, which leaves
the country blaekeDed waste TO grow
up in fireweed, blackberry vines and wil-
lows and other useless trees. Only a
small per cent Of thse burns become seed
ed 70 ar and produce a second growth Of
timber. To add ITO the quantity OF tim.
bers removed by the loggers is the pro-
digious destruction by fire, whole sec
tons Of fine forests being ruined each
summer. The loss is becoming greater
each year as the country Is settled up
