PUBLIC WILL GET
EVEN SOME DAY

Another of It's stock Jokes was
pulled of yesterday by the +. r. & r.
company, when It changed the route
ing of the Point Defiance cars With
out giving the public notice Of the
fact.
On account of the paving opera
tions on c street, the Point Defiance
cars now turn at Division and Ta-
coma avenues and come down ST.
Helens avenue. Returning they leave
the corner OF Ninth street and st.
Helens avenue instead of Ninth and @
streets
Instead OF putting mp a sign at the
corner Of Ninth and G streets telling
of the change in the route, the street
car company showed It's usual con-
sideration for the public by letting
people stand on that corner for an
hour or more waiting for the cars
that never came.
The people will get even when the
Felt and Commercial Trust company

DYNAMITE F|ENDS
MAY Be CAP PTURED

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 10.-Tbe
Colorado officials have not yet asked
Governor Bailey for the requisition
of Robert Romaine, who was arrested
here on the charge of being impli-
Gated in causing the explosion at In
dependence, Colorado, in which a
number of non-union men were
killed.
Romaine is alleged to have made
confession duplicating several Of
ficials of the miners union of Colo
RADIO with him in the crime. All of
the men mentioned by Romaine are
known and they will probably be ar
rested.

A controversy that looks as if it
might prevent the opening of some of
the schools Monday morning is on
between Building Inspector Sherman
and the board of education. The
building inspector contends that, to
comply with the building ordinance,
all the doors in the new buildings
should swing outward. The outside
doors comply with that section Of
the ordinance but all the class room
doors swing toward the inside of the
rooms. Building Inspector Sher-
man says that he is prepared to en-
force the ordinance and will insist
that the doors be changed.
Superintendent A. B. Warner con-
tends that the class room doors
should swing in so that in case of a
panic the teachers could better con-

OYAMA PLANS ANOTHER
GENERAL ENGAGEMENT

PARIS, Sept. 10.-A prominent
japanese here is authority for the
assertion that Field Marshal Oyama
has planned one more general en-
gagement with Kuropatkin before
winter sets in. The Japanese he
says, recognize at least years fight
ing ahead of them against heavier
odds than those encountered during
the present campaign, but consider
the fall of Port Arthur and the oc-
cupation of the whole of Korea and
of Southern Manchuria a sufficient
trophy for the first year of war.

troll the children and prevent them
all rushing into the hall at one time.
He takes the position that the dan
ger from a panic in case of fire
would not be in the class rooms but
in the halls, and in his opinion it
makes little difference which way
the class room doors swing.
Messrs. Ploss and Clifford were
seen by Inspector Sherman and in
formed him that they would approve
of the change if it was necessary.
So far nothing has been done to-
ward making the change. 1t is prob
able, however, that when the men,
bers of the board can get together
they will decide to comply with the
building inspectors demands. II
they do not, just what course Inspect
or Sherman will pursue, he does not
say.

ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 1O.-Ad-
vices from the front indicate that
there will be long lull in the fight
ing while the Japanese bring in
more men, stores and ammunition.
The new European brigade just
reached Kuropatkin.
Experts do not expect the japanese
to make any real progress before
the cold weather sets in, which is
liable to stop everything until spring.
Then the Russians will be ready to
begin offensive operations. The talk
of the London and Berlin papers of
peace excites only derision here.

cut by surveyor general. for which the
sum of $4.4SS.99 has been paid. No tim
Der was reported cut under the sale Of

left, having all been cut in 1891.
Sec. 19-59-19. This section was sold in

ported. Sold again in 1902 on an estimate

reports this section cut clean some years
ago and was burned in 1894: somewhere
about 100000 feet cut, l guess. 1T was
cut and burned many years before Mr..
Dunn became state auditor, so that it
was impossible to trace or make a re-
sale.

served that the timber sold for
$3.50 more per thousand in 1903 than
it did in 1891, The question of new cut
as has been previously explained means
that the timber never was cut into.
Sec 2-49,23 Sold in 1889 under an
paid for 1880 feet; sold again in 1892,
estimate $4,000 feet, no cutting reported
under this sale. Resold in 1897, estimated
at $4,000 feet. for which $40 was paid
at county sale. The 10000 rero ed by
Dedon as cut in 1891 could not / raced

old.
Sec. 36-49-23. The last cutting reported
was in 1893. Cruiser Henry Dusey re-
ported this section burned over and 40
600 feet left. 1t is doubtful whether this
section ever contained 100000 feet esti-
mated in 1890, as this section was chief
ly valuable as agricultural land and was
sold at agricultural land sale several
Cut I'm 1880 and Became OutIawed.
Sec. 16-50-23. There is no doubt that a
good deal of timber was cut on this sec
ton more than was paid for, as only 273,-
10 feet was reported. But at the time
Dedon examined it and reported four to
five million feet cut, it had ben cut. by
cutting reported was in 1889. nine years
prior to the examination. 1t was not
only outlawed at the time. but impossible
to rescale or trace up.
Sec. 1S-50-23. Dedon reported that s.
600 feet was cut five years ago and that
the section was burned over in 1891. This
5000 feet is all the indication of any, cut
ting made on this section and that there
was no valuable timber at the time Of
examination. so the 10000 feet estimated
never could have been on this section.
Dedon also reports range line short
which may account for the first estimate
This matter dates back to 1889.
Sec. 20-5323. If any cutting was made
on this section it was all done prior to
1895. No examination has been made
since 1891. State only owns forty acres
in this section, all swamp, and there prob
ably was no timber.
Sec. 24-56-23. This was sold in 1891. no
examina ton has been made since that
time. State only owns 40 acres which is
swamp. and probably never contained any
timber
Sec 12-56-23. In May, 1894, when De-
don was employed by the pine land in

100000 feet was cut three years ago
Land was burned over hard in 1893.

No cutting reported nor was any timber

In 1903 Cruiser Dedon estimated and ap-
praised this section, saying: Cut around,
not burned" That meant that timber
on adjoining land had been cut around
this section.

was therefore uncollectible.

Sec. 34-5O-22. Sold in 1891 and again in
1898 on an estimate of $4,000 at SI2o per
thousand. No cutting recorded under
these sales. In 1896 a trespass of 10000
feet was collected for and in 1897 the
pine, estimated at 10000, was sold at
county sale for $115 cash. In 1902 the
remaining timber was again sold at coun-
ty sale for $685. cash. 1t was therefore
proper for the cruiser to have found ''old
cuttings when the land was examined in
1902.
Sec. 16-53-22. Estimated at $1,000 feet
and sold in 1891. Permit expired in 1893,
two years before Mr.. Dunn became state
auditor. The timber on the land was
sold in 1901 at county sale at $3.50. Dedon
reports cutting made six years ago. The
statute of limitations had run on this
even if it could have been traced.

reported in 1895 old cuttings made prior
to this and guessed at Go0.0OO feet: out
as it was badly burned and four qinerent
parties had held permits on this tract.
1t was impossible to trace as to When II
was cut and who cut 1T.
Sec. S-5S-22 Sold in 1898 on an estimate
of 10000 feet at SO per thousand and $50
advance money paid. No cutting reported.
1t appears that this estimate was erro-
neous. as in October. 1903, cruiser Eii0s

no doubt accounts for the absence OF any
report of cutting, as the timber was NOT
