AN AMBITIOUS SCHEME.
Government Will Establish Many
Wireless Stations,

Government Will Establish Many
Wireless Stations.
Washington, May 3O.--It is now CIV
en- out that the government has all but
perfected the plans for establishing
wireless telegraph stations at frequent
intervals along the Pacific, as we'll as
along the Atlantic coast and in its in
sular possessions, and that these sta
lions will be for the free use of the
public.
This ambitious scheme was devised
by the general board of the navy and
has been secretly under consideration
by the bureau of equipment of the
navy department for some time. AL
though it has been known that the
navy department was experimenting
with wireless telegraphy and that sew
eral stations had already been estab-
lished, it was not until this time that
the great significance and broad scope
of the scheme was made known.
The great system of wireless stations
will, of course, be primarily for the
use of the navy in coast defense. In
times of peace, however, the stations
will be needed for strictly military
uses only a small part of the time, and
it is proposed therefore to make them
great public utility. The operators
will be enlisted men of the navy.
1t is about settled that there will be
no charge for sending messages be-
tween these stations and passing ships
and other vessels and the use of the
wireless system under the supervision
of the navy will be open to newspapers,
maritime associations, land telegraph
companies and private citizens gen.
orally.
The department has already COM
pleted or under way twenty three sta
lions, and as many more will be estab-
lished in the near future. 1t is prob
able that one and perhaps two of these
will be located on Puget Sound, the
favorite location being Bremerton navy
yard. If second station ia established
on Puget sound it will probably be
near the entrance of the sound.
Thus far only two sites ON the Pa
cific have been absolutely decided on,
and these are at Mare Island navy
yard and at the naval training station
on Yerba Buena island, near San
Francisco. There will be one at Ca
vite, in the Philippines, another on
the island of Guam and still another
near Honolulu. The system may ulti-
mately be extended to Alaska.
1t is proposed that all the wireless
telegraph stations now established or
hereafter to be established, shall be
under the control of the government,
and legislation to that end will be rec
commended by President Roosevelt in
his next message to congress.

Forest Rangers.

Tacoma, June 1.-The supervisors
OF forestry have completed their plans
for patroling the forest reserves of this
state during the summre. Twelve men
will be put on the Washington reserve,
eight on the Olympic and sixteen on
the Rainier. The increaes in the pa
trolling force is considered necessary
because of the growing number of
tourists and of sheep and cattle turned
loose to Craze on the reserves.

Russians Have No Floating Mines

Russians Have No Floating Mines.
st. Petersburg, May 8O.-A high
authority at the admiralty said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press
1T is false TO assert that the Russians
use floating mines. They are not
known in the Russian naval service"
This authority, while not committing
himself absolutely, strongly intimates
that the japanese battleship Hatsuse
was destroyed by torpedo fired from
a submarine boat. 1t is now estab-
lished that a submarine boat of the
Dreswicke type was at Port Arthur
before the outbreak of the war.

serves--Lewis, Cowlitz, King and
kittitas Counties Most Affected

Washington, June 1.-There is NO.
much doubt that proclamations will
be isseud by the president within tho
next few days adding several thousana
square miles of land to the presont
Mount Rainier and Washington forest
reserves. There has naturally been
much opposition to these proposed ad.
ditions, but the forestry experts of Tho
government claim the step is necessary
from a 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 IN the
public domain. Without doubt a con.
sidera BILE part of the areas in Question
will be restored to entry because thew
are essentially agricultural and not
forest lands.
Many Townships Involved.
The Withdrawals adjacent to the
Rainier reserve cover sixteen completa
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.
~ q ACoCASO 40 Iuduc VI tuCoc lduub,
this will be the second checkeboard
forest reserve anywhere in the United
States. There is one in Arizona, and
it has been a 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.

Taking Desperate Chances,

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without tax
ing any %precaution or treatment, and
a knowledge of this fact leads others
to take their chances instead of Civ
ing their colds the needed attention.
1t should be borne i'm mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less
able to withstand each succeeding
cold and paves the way for more ser
ious diseases. Can you afford to
take such desperate chances when

TAKING OUT THE ORE
of the Freeland Extension
Mine Taking Out Ore That is
Netting S35 Per Ton.

AT the present time the Freeland
Extension mine. which is owned by
parties i'm this city, is being operat-
ed under lease to Williams Bros,
while a tunnel is being completed to
give a short outlet from the mine to
the transportation facilities. When
this tunnel is completed the Free
land Extension will be operated upon
a more extensive scale. The Idaho
Springs, Colorado, Mining Gazette, of
last week, has the following item
concerning the Freeland Extension
which shows what is being done with
the property at present:
David and Henry Williams, who
are leasing on the Freeland Extern
sion, made a shipm ent of a car load
Of ore last week which Melted them
over 1876 pei ton. They also have out
a large quantity of milling ore which
will be shipped for treatment as
soon as hauling and milling arrange
ments can be made. There are few
mines in the country which have the
orc bodies blocked out as extensively
as has the Freeland Extension. and
at such time as milling facilities
may be had the mine can be made to
produce an enormous tonnage. AT
present Williams Bros. are the only
leasers and they are clearing up a
block OF glound but not working on
the ore reserves.

A CASE oFOsMALL-Pox
A Man Coming Down o IL the Milwau
kee Passenger Was Set Out
Here With the Smallpox.

An unllnown man was brought to
Mitchell on the Milwaukee passen-
ger from the month Thursday who
has every symptoms of small poN.
Or. Dundass. the health officer, was
notified by Superintendent Tucker.
OF Aberdeen, to examine the man
when he arrived in Mitchell. DIR.
Dundass made the examination on
the arrival of the train and stated to
The Republican that he thougtht it
was smallpox. though i'm "A mild
form.
In conversation with Conductor
Eugene Fargo. who came down with
the passenger, he said that he no.
ticed the man IN the car along with
a number Of passengers. and that he
thought there was a strong suspicion
of the person having smallpox. He
took the man and placed him in the
rear car alone, and notified Supt.
Tucker. The board of health at
Redtield was notified by the superin-
tendent to examine the patient and
in doing so passed the individual up
as being alright. Mr.. Fargo said
that the patient came in from Min
neapolis and reached Aberdeen Tues
day morning, remaining there all day.
The small poX patient said that the
board Of health Of Minneapolis ex-
amined him and said that he had
ch%icken-poX, and that he could trav-
ell.
The person was bound for Sioux
Falls and the Milwaukee Official at
Sanborn was asked to have the car
and the patient taken to their des-
tlnation. The official declined to
move the car. Supt. Beardsley at
Sioux City was then questioned by
Conductor Fargo what to do under
the circumstances. Supt. Beardsley
wired Agent Patton to turn the
smallpox patient over to the Mitch
ell board OF health and to lock the
car and keep it locked until it had
UCCu rs Il result llc
train pulled out of the station leav-
ing the car and the patient on the
sidetrack.
DR.. Dundass, chairman Of the
board of health, then assumed charge
of the case. and while he might have
insisted on sending the man to his
destination it looked like a hard and
unfeeling thing to do to thrust a
small poX,patient on anot her COM
munlty, although this what was done
in Mitchell's case. A fire was built
in the a and the patient will re-
main there until today, when he
will be taken to the city hospital,
and every are and attention will be
given him during his sickness. DIR.
Dundass stated that the second ex-
animation he gave the patient re-
vealed a more serious case than at
first. The patient seems TO be a man
in good circumstances, and stated
that he was perfectly able to pay his
own expenses.
