How Forests are Patroled.

If any man has an idea that the life
OF forest ranger is summer picnic
and the forest superintendent has
nothing to do but draw his salary,
visit to the office of Superintendent D.
B. Shelter, of the forest reserves in
this state, will quickly change his
views.
Mr.. Shelter only claims to know one
reserve, the Olympic. Late last sum-
mer he was ordered by the commits
sioner of the general land Office to
make report on that reserve, and
spent several weeks making careful
personal inspection of the ground,
upon which his report to the secretary
was based. That territory Mr.. Shelter
speaks of with confidence, like man
who knows his own farm.
The reserve he has marked out into
fifteen ranger districts, each district
generally comprising river valley,
though some of the larger districts in
clude several streams, and separated
from adjoining districts by the high
mountain ridges which radiate in a
somewhat irregular way from the
great snow-clad mountains in the
hoart of Tho rocoruo
In the superintendent's store room
adjoining his Office are bundles of axes,
grub-hoes, picks, shovels. rakes and
other tools such as are used by the
rangers in cutting trails through the
forest and in putting out and prevent
ing the spread of fires, the great
enemy Of the forests.
1t may be surprising to hear, but
according to the report Of Mr.. Henry
Gannett, of the United States forest
survey, as much timber has been de-
strcyed by fire in the state Of Wash
ington as has ever been cut by the
lumbermen.
In the Olympic reserve Mr.. Shelter
has marked out Is ranger districts,
some one of these districts is not only
patrolled by the rangers in charge, but
they must cut trails, put out fire that
are started by hunters and campers
or in other ways, for Notwithstanding
the warning signs posted up in the
reserves many hunters and campers
leave them burning, through they
know If they are caught they will be
subject to a heavy fine.
These 15 districts are numbered by
the superintendent with two series oi
numbers, owe showing their relative
importance as to the amount and
value of timber contained, the other
as their importance from fire fight
ing standpoint. Some districts may
require very close watching to prevent
fires, and may keep three or four men
constantly on the alert, yet the timber
in that district might be of far less
value than another another district
where one man could safely take care
of the fres.-Tacoma News.

MARCH AND THE LION.
Something Better that the Old Saw.

Something Better that the Old Saw.
The saying about the lion and the
lamb in March often proves false, but
there is another and better one
which is literally true. When March
comes in and finds you taking Hoods
sarsaparilIa to purify, enrich and VI
talize your blood, you may expect,
when its goes out, that it will leave
free from that tired feeling and with
none of the boils, pimples and erup-
tion which manifest themselves be-
cause Of impure blood in the spring.
If you have not already begun taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla for your spring
medicine, We advise you 10 begin to-
day. We assure you it will make you
feel better all through the coming
summer.

WHISKY MADE
 HIM TRANQUIL Witness Nolan Says He Never

 $9,oOO as Shown By
 Official Statement
TESTIMONY AGAINST CLARK

Washington, February 23.-When the sen- ate committee on elections met this morn ing, MT. Faulkner for the defense in the Clark case, announced that he had de- termined to rest for the present sThefe might be two or three witnesses to be cadl- ed later, but that they were not now in at tendance.
 Mir. Clark was recalled for a few un.m- portant questions, and then Attorney Cen eral Nolan, of Montana, was placed upon the stand by the Protestants in rebuttal of the testimony addueed by the witnesses for MT. Clark.
 Mr. Nolan said fe had become acquainted with Marcus Daly in 1896, and that while he had been in office since that date, MT Daily had never in any way at.empted to interfere with himtn the performance of ais duties.
 Referring to the grand jury proceedings, MT. Nolan said that he held that S300 GOO used by Whtesde in his exposure was evidence enough of conspiracy on the part of White side, or of bribery on the part of Welcome, and that he insisted on finding one way or the other.
 the campaign of 1893 in the interest of the democratic ticket. The expenses of the state committee, he said were about $9,000. as shown by the official statement. Recess was then taken.
 MT. Nelson testified that he had told MT. T. E. Lyons that 50 far as he could he would prevent prosecution of states witnesses for bribery, but that promise would net insure absolute i'm immunity. Lyons had told him that the Clark people had promised to pay him 5000 for his efforts 3n betzrf of MT. Clark for the senate but they had treated him shabbfly, having re- fused ,o pay MT. Lyons had told him that he had taken Senator Warner and Repre- ser-astve Luddy to Charley Clarks; that Clark had told >him that Warner wanted si5e90 for his vote, and Luddy S7500, and taat he (Clarl9 would have to pay it.
 MT. Faulkner questioned MT. Nolan at length as ito his condition at the time of of the conversations with iMc. Lyons. Mir. Nolan admitted that he was under thu influence of liquor. and that the was neither bois terous nor irresponspie

 When the reading of the report had been concluded and an order made for it's printing, an arrangement was effected whereby some member of the conference committee on next Wednesday would make a statement concerning the changes made by the conferees, and that the next day the report would be taken up for considera- tion.
 Hawaiian Bm Taken Up
 The Hawaiian bill was again taken up and MT. Vest, of Missouri, addressed the senate He had been intensely opposed he said, to the annexation of Hawaii, but that was now dead issue. "I shall vote for the bill" he said. Ut is above and beyond constitutional objection, and does not raise any issues that are raised in relation to Porto Rico and the Philippines"
 Where was no provision in it changing the tariff and none that implied that Ha- waH was not a part of the United states. The proposition that the United StaneS can hold territory as colonial possession and it's people as vassaIs, inc continued lis the most preposterous and dangerous proposition that has ever been advanced in the course of my public life. Referring to the Dred Scott case, MT. Vest sald that the supreme court was unanimous in de- elaring in that decision that the constitu- ton covered the territories. He held with Chief Justice Marshall that the term United States meant the "empire of the United States" territories and all other possessions. When it ever heard, he inquired, that it was necessary for con- gross to pass an act to extend the consti- tGtion over acquired territory?
 This new doctrine, he said, 'fs utterly abhorrent It violates every principle of a republican government. It goes even further than England tlas gone with her colonies. Is Ponto Rico a part of the United States? If so, where did congress get the power to put import duties from that coun- try? And why is it proposed to place an export duty on it's products, when the con- stitution of the United States expressly inhibited such a tax?
 MT. Foraker of Chio replied briefly to MT. Vest.
 The senate, at 5:2O, adjourned until tomor- row.

WALCOTT, THE NEGRO,
 WINS OVER CHOYNSKI
The Californian Was No Match fof His Buriy Opponent. and Was Floored Re-
 peatedly by Heavy Swings.

New York, February 23.-Joe Walcott, the Barbadoes negro, received the decision over Joe Choynski, of Cahfnrrrsa, in the seventh round of what v-as to have been a twenty five-round bout before the Broadway Attn aetic club tonight. Choynskd was practical ny ort-classed and received very severe punishment. The betting made Choynski a prohibitive favorite, odds of 100 to 300 be- ing freely 1aid on has chances, but after the first round Walcott was a to favor ite All through the fight Wa1cott was on the aggressive. In the first round Choynski was foored five times. The first time he measured his length on tine canvass floor when he was hit with a right under the jaw. ----------,-.I-.
 Another hard right in the vicinity of the solar plexus put him down a second time, a right across on tho jaw was the cause of his third fall, and left on the jaw put him down for the fourth time. Choynsh came up very groggy after his fourth knock down only to go down again from a right on the point of the chin, which sent him fiat on his stomach.
 Waheott forced the fighting in the second, but Choynski sent in a Stinging right on the head which staggered Waqcott to the ropes This round was fairly evenly fought, but Walcott was always able to dodge every lead or return made by the big Cal ifonnian.
 In the fourth round Choynsh managed to land a couple of hard right-handers on rhe body but the negro sent back aefts and rights on the body and face. The fifth and sixth rounds were all in Wla1cotts favor.
 The Californian was grcggy when he came up for the seventh, and after he received right on the wind and two lefts on the face he staggered in an evidently helpless manner. Walcott then landed right and left on the jaw. forcing Ghoynsd to the floor. and when the latter regained himself. Vol colt rushed him. but was stopped by the referee, Johnny White. who declared Vol colt the winner.

It is just as easy to drift into danger
as to drive into it. The progress is slower
but the end is equally sure. It is the
gradual progress Of drifting which blinds
to the danger. Men and women drift into
ill-health in such way. There is a
little feeling of oppression after eating.
After time it passes away. Some day
it returns and brings another symptom
headache, perhaps. Something is done
to relieve the headache, but nothing to
relieve the cause. So one more victim
goes drifting on to the rocks of disease.
Young women who are teaching or
studying are very apt to become victims
of disease of the stomach. They eat in
iudicious1y, in some cases, and in gen.
eral the brain is too occupied to allow
the stomach the blood necessary to carry
on its functions. Hence in time the
organs of digestion and nutrition are
totally deranged, and the young gradu-
ate goes home chronic invalid.

saw Mr. and Mrs |. T. McAlIister. Tney
arrived here Saturday about 4 p. m and
soon after Nc called at our house. They
were too late to see any OF the govern.
ment buildings except the library the
finest OF all, as they were closed until
Monday morning. Tnev were anxious
to see as much of Washington as they
could We were able 10 take them
through the library Saturday night, and
on Sunday took them over the city. to
the white house, and ETC., and did the
best we could. They lett Sunday night
having an engagement to stop over in
Philadelphia before sailing from New
York on Tuesday. We urged them to
remain over, and told MIC would take
him to see the president and Secretary
Hay. Monday, and as the Tribune had
suggested he would make good "Uncle
Sam" to turn loose in Paris, thought
he should carry letter of introduction
from Secretary Hay to Ambassador Por.
ter but this had no influence on Nc.
But it was beautiful to see the couple
of honest plain people taking such va
cation after so many years of toll and
saving, and they were enjoying every
hour and seeing all they could. coulo

more richly deserved such holiday.
