ADD TO RESERVES
LARGE ADDITIONAL WITHDRAW
AIS IN THIS STATE.
Total of Sevcnty-Two Townships to
BE Placed Within Boundaries
OF Rainier and Washington Re-
serVes--Lewis.C Owlitz. King and
kittitaS Counties Most Affected.

Washington. June There is not
much doubt that proclamations will
be isseud by the president within the
next few days adding several thousand
square miles of land to the present
Mount Rainier and Washington forest
reserves. There has naturally been
much opposition to these proposed adj
d1tlons, but the forestry experts of the
government claim the step is necessary
from broad economic standpoint such
as the administration holds in regard
TO forest lands within the public do
main.
Temporary Withdrawals of land ad
Jacent to these reserves were made in
January OF last year. In the summer
OF 1908 detailed examinations were
made by agents of the interior depart
ment to determine what particular
parts should be made permanent and
what parts should be restored to the
public domain. Without doubt con
siderable part of the areas in question
will be restored to entry because they
are essentially agricultural and not
forest lands.
Many Townships Involved.
The Withdrawals adjacent to the
Rainier reserve cover sixteen complete
townships, and the Withdrawals ada
cent to the Washington reserve cover
forty five townships. The Rainier
Withdrawals are chiefly in Lewis and
Cowlitz counties, and the Washington
withdrawals are variously located on
the eastern, southern and western sides
of the great reserve.
Still further Withdrawals of forest
lands in the state of Washington are
likely to be made during the present
summer, and if this policy is carried
out, there will be practically one great
reservation of timbered lands extend
ing across the state in the mountain
region from north to south. The pro-
posed withdrawals are situated between
the Rainier reserve and the Washing
ton reserve on lands alternate sections
of which are owned by the Northern
Pacific railroad.
Object to CheckerbOard System.
If a reserve is made of these lands,
this will be the second checkeboard
forest reserve anywhere in the United
States. There is one in Arizona, and
1t has been Il source of much bother to
the interior department. The railroad
company objects to the system, mas
much as it is necessary for their set
tiers to cross government lands in or
der to reach their own, and cases Of
trespass, often unconscious and unin-
territorial, are frequent. The same
difficulty is likely to be encountered in
the state of Washington, and it is prob
able, therefore, that after the reserve
is created an effort will be made by
the government to secure an agreement
with the railroad, consolidating the
roads holdings in single area, and
the government in another.
The Withdrawals proposed for the
new checkerboard reserve cover seven
ty-two townships, and it will probably
be called the Yakima forest reserve
After the Withdrawals are made de-
tailed examination of the lands will be
carried on by agents of the interior de-
partment. The lands are chiefly in
kittitas and King counties.

To learn to read and write in China
means about as much work for the
youngster who undertakes it as mas

English, French and German. TO be-

no alphabet. Every character used
stands for word. There is not even
any way Of telling the sound OF a

means that the small student must

SPENT THE NIGHT
IN A STRONG CELL

The fact that Eddie" Dickson was
confined in the Spokane city Jail over
night prior to his being taken to
Lewiston is not generally known by
those who have been following the
case. Dickson was arrested on the
night of July 2S by officer Alex Mac
donald on a warrant which was
brought here by an officer from Lew
iston. He was booked at the police
station as Z. r. Dickson and after
his name was written the word "Fugi-
tive"
Dickson accompanied the officer to
the police station when arrested. but
objected strenuously to being search
ed. He was searched, however, and
his watch and some small change
taken from him for safe keeping.
Dickson was then placed in the strong
cell, the cell where men like Ham
mond, the train robber; Powol, the
holdup man. and Mike Schomers were
kept.

The accused man made no attempt
to secure bail for his release nor did
he object to going to Idaho to face
the charges. His one desire was to
keep the matter quiet until after he
had proved his innocence. He had a
host of friends here who would have
been ready to save him the night in
Jail, but he did not care for the
notoriety.
Dickson was released yesterday
from the Jail at Lewiston on $500
bond forwarded by friends in Spo-
kane The young man is certain that
he viii be able to completely vindi-
cate himself. He expects to be able
to clear himself without going to
trial. He is accused of embezzling
$107 from the Nez Perce Tramway
company, by whom he was employed
for some months.
Dickson is expected to arrive in
Spokane today He is under instruc-
tions from his attorneys OF say moth

KUR0KI REPORTS THE
ENEMY DRIVEN BACK
(Scripps News Association.)

TOXIC, Aug. 2.-General Kuroki
the 31st the Japanese army occupied
Yushulintsu, four miles west of Hsi
Ho Yen, and Yang Tsuling. six miles
west of Molten Ling. Both places
are situated about 25 miles from Lao
Yang. The enemy at Yusculintsu con-
sisted of two divisions with corre-
spending artillery. The attacking op-
erations were carried out as prear-
ranged and by sunset we defeated
both wings of the enemy, but owing
to their large force and strong posi-
tions we were unable to dislodge them
entirely. At daybreak of August I
we resumed the attack and succeeded
in expelling the enemy and pursued
them four miles in a westward direc-
tion. The enemy fled toward An Ping.
The enemy at Yang Tsulin consist
ed of two and a half divisions with
four batteries of artillery The at
tacking operations there also proceed
ed satisfactorily. By sunset we had
carried the enemy's principal posi-
tions, but portion of them made the
stoutest resistance and we had to
bivouack for the night in battle for
nation. At daylight, August l, we
resumed the attack at a. m. All
the heights fell into our hands. The
enemy fled towards Tang Hoyen. The
casualties are under investigation.
We captured some field guns, but the
details are still unknown. In this
engagement the attacking forces were

on account of lack of suitable posi-
tions for our artillery, while the heat
was over 100 degrees.

the conference. There are a number
