LAND is RESTORED
WITHDRAWAL 0F345,0 900 ACRES
IN FOREST RESERVE.
Interior Department Acted Quickly on
Receipt of Letter From Gov.
Chamberlain.

The interior department has suddenly
decided to restore to entry about 345,-
600 acres of land in Eastern Oregon,
now included within forest reserve with
drawals. About 1926, 900 acres lie around
| the exterior boundaries of the Blue
mountain withdrawal; the remaining
10000 along the borders of the Wallowa
withdrawal.
This decided change, states Wash
ington special, in the policy of the de-
partment is largely ascribed to very
pointed letter from Governor Chamber
lain.
Immediately upon receipt of Governor
Chamberlain g note the forestry bureau,
which definitely Recommended the Gre
alton Of the Blue mountain forest re-
serve last May, was called upon to state
what lands in the Blue mountain and
Wallowa Withdrawals had been unfit for
reserve purposes.
The bureau promptly replied that
about 325,000 in the Blue mountain
withdrawal we're deemed unsuitable for
permanent reservation, and 10000 in the
Wallowa withdrawal.
In other words the forestry bureau
recommended that all public lands in
cluded in these two Withdrawals which
are in any way desirable for settlement
or entry except under the timber land
laws be restored to the public domain,
retaining under withdrawal only such
lands that are valuable for their timber
and essential in the preservation of the
water supply,

being on an export basis, is practically
Oh the Chicago basis. The prices. offer
cd for wheat for shipment east preclude
any possibility of buying on European
account. Based on Liverpool quota
tions and the prevailing freight rates,
club wheat would be worth about 76c
here. Buyers, however, have paid as
high as 7Sc, and probably more for this
grade for shipment to the east. OF the
100000 bushels of wheat that have

ENDED HIS OWN LIFE
FRANK SMITH, WELL KNOWN
PILOT ROCK RANCHER.
Had Repeatedly Threatened Suicide
On Account of Continued
Ill Health.

Pendleton, Aug. II. Frank Smith,
well known sheepman and farmer of
Pilot Rock, suicided yesterday afternoon
between 3 and O'Clock at the home of
his parents, Lucien Smith and wife in
Pilot Rock, by shooting himself through
the head with SO calibre pistol, death
taking place at z o'clock this morning.
Some years ago he met with an acci-
dent and since that time has been in
poor health. He was naturally of de-
spondent temperament, and the accident
and its results terminated in settled
melancholy that became deep despond-
ency whenever he experienced periods
of unusual suffering, and was heard
several times since the accident to ex
press the intention OF taking his own
life. Such an attack overcame him
several days ago, and he renewed his
threats Of suicide. He SAID but little,
being naturally reticent, but his parents
feared he would carry the threat into
execution, and kept as close watch up
Cn him as they could.
A few moments before the shooting
Frank came into the house and passed
through from the front to the rear. He
went through room occupied by his
mother, and it appears that he stopped
on the way, opened a trunk belonging
to his mother and took therefrom re-
volver OF an antiquated pattern, but
which was loaded, and passed unnoticed
with it out of the rear door.
A few moments after he passed through
the house his mother heard the report
of a pistol in the back yard. She in
stinctively knew what was the matter
and ran outside and found Frank sitting
on box which was against the side Of
the shed. BY his side on the ground lay
the pistol, anG he was bleeding profuse-
ly from wound in the head. He was
Immediately taken into the house where
he fingered, entirely unconscious, about
l6 hours, and died at TAO this morning.

1t is stated tonight that the Statesboro

The plank which Dubois men forced
into the platform and upon which the
democracy will wage war on the Nor

polygamy and unlawful cohabitation
within the state Of Idaho, and the com
plete separation of church and state in
political affairs. We pledge the demo-

Mormon Fight Bitter One

The Idaho democratic convention just
closed at Lewiston, after three days

in the state. The party is divided over

SO uncertain on account Of the bitter

On account Of the great packing house

held. The strike is being severely felt
by the stockmen of the western states,

and unless cattle are disposed OF soon,
they will begin to depreciate in value

vided for by law in order that a baker may
not pull wool over the eyes of the public
and the inspectors in a manner like the
following:
A baker could bake double loaf of bread
weighing a pound and a half When the
inspector comes around and calls him to
task for the low weight of the separate loaf
he could say the loaves are not sold sep
arately, but are one. and therefore not un-
der weight. II he persuaded the inspector
that this was true and that he was selling
the double loaf at a fair price for one he
was not molested. However, when Gus
toner came to the shop this same baker has
been known to ask the full price of full
sized loaf for each of the twins"
Effect Of Regulations.
1t can easily be understood that this prac-
tice and similar ones are made impossible
when the sizes of loaves are fixed by law
1t makes no difference what prices the
dealer asks for mis- bread, the purchaser Is
supposed to be able to tell what he is get
ting. 1t is the latter's fault as implied by
the law, If dealer is able to get higher
price than is fair for an absolutely certain
weight.
When the two inspectors of bread began
thelr work recently they stopped delivery
wagons on the street and weighed loaves
This caused complaint on the
part or the bakers, who held that II was
only fair to weigh the bread in bulk. since
by the cutting apart of loaves the individ-
ual loaf would often be rendered under or
over weight, and unavoidably so. Accord
lngly the Commissioners of the District or
dered certain cases already prepared nolle
and instructed the inspectors to
weigh loaves in large lots at the bakeries
and then, if the weight in the aggregate
should prove to be too great or too little,
the individual loaves were to be weighed.
This method is now in vogue.

CAMPAIGN IN NEBRASKA.
Trend is All for Roosevelt and No Ex-
element.

The following letter was received by Col
o. C. Sabin of this city from r. w. Sabin
attorney-at-law, Beatrice, Neb Mr.. R. w.
Sabin is a man of considerable prominence
in that country, and thoroughly under
stands the political situation, and, as show
ing the trend of things, says:
THE campaign is very tame here this
year. You would not reaiize that there is
presidential campaign on. No excitement
whatever; the tamest ever saw. The rea-
son of it is that it Is nearly all one way.
Roosevelt will get a plurality in this state
of anywhere from $4,000 to 10000, nearer
the latter figure than the former in my
judgment. Watson will get about as many
votes as Parker in this state Roosevelt
will get about 25,0O0 more than both of
them. l never saw the political situation
running Sc near in one groove before. I
am astonished every day to hear old moss
back democrats say they are going to vote
tor Roosevelt-nlen that never voted re-
publican ticket before in their lives. Bryan
can't deliver his following in this state to
Parker, and no one here believes he wants
to. He is merely making a showing for
regularity. His pop following look upon
and they will nave none of him. l don't
know of a half dozen who say they will vote
for Parker, but of course there are some,
hut l don't believe he viii get over 1000 to
200 in this county out of about $500. The
west is wild for Roosevelt this time; they
think he is about their size. That broncho-
busting reputation he has doesn't scare
item bit. l think he is a good man, and
we love Elm for the enemies he has made"

ANOTHER PEACE CONFERENCE.
The President Will Send Out Invita-.
tions in a Few Days,


Within two days the President will dis
patch to the powers an invitation to an
other peace conference to be held at The
Hague. The time is not fixed but the pow
ers are invited to suggest date. Secre-
tary Hay has completed the draft Of invi-
tations and brought the matter before the
cabinet today
Notice of his intention to issue this call
was given by the President several weeks
ago upon the occasion of the visit to the
White House of the delegates of the Inter-
parliamentary Union, and the formal in
vitation has been in course Of preparation
ever since. There was no hesitation on the
part of the President in naming The Hague
in the invitation. hence, of course, 1t Is as
Sumed the government of the Netherlands
was first consulted.
The date of the meeting was left open
because it is stated that any one of the
powers has much right to suggest a date
as the United States. So there must be
considerable correspondence on that point
before an agreement is reached. 1t is not
expected that the conference will meet dur
ing the continuance of the present war
unless this should continue indefinitely 1t
cannot be learned that any decision has yet
been reached as to the personnel of the del
egation which will represent the United
states at the congress.
The United States commission to the
peace conference at The Hague in 1899
consisted of Andrew D. White. Seth Low,
Stanford Newell, Capt A. T. Mahan, u S.

countries were represented at the confer
ence, which resulted in conventions for the
amelioraton of the laws and customs of
war on land the adaptation to maritime
warfare of the principles of the Geneva
convention of 1864 and the extension of ju-
dlclal methods to international cases.

What is Said Here.

None of the officials of the administra-
ton having knowledge on the subject will
discuss this matter for publication at the
present time, mainly on the ground that
such an announcement would be premature
and unauthorized. 1t is usual, at the close
of every administration, whether there has
been change in the chief executive or
not, for all the principal officers of the
government, such as members of the cabi-
net, ambassadors and minister's to place
their designations at the disposal of the
president In order to afford him opport un-
1ty to make changes in the offices if he so
desires. 1t is intimated that if Ambassador
Choate has said anything on the subject
1t Is only in line with that custom. So
far as known here his present position is
entirely congenial to him. and 1t is be-
heved that he might be willing to remain
at London in the event of the reelection
of President Roosevelt
The rumored appointment of Mr. White
law Reid Is apparently revival of SINH
lar reports in the past. 1t is known that
the President has high estimation of his
ability, and it is generally expected that
he will be selected for some important
work in the near future in case the pres
ent administration is indorsed at the polls.

TO REMAIN ON GUARD.
American Marines to Be Retained on

American marines will be retained on the
Isthmus of Panama for the present. pre-
pared to meet any emergency which may
arise as the result of ,iisgruntled elements
in the new republic. Orders have been
issued for a new battalion Of marines to go
to the isthmus about November Is to relieve
the battalion which has been there for a
year. The new battalion Will be command
ed by Iient. Col. Thomas N. Wood. The
exact number of men In this new battalion
has not been decided. bat It will probably
be of about the same size rs the battalion
now on the isthmus, which Is to be brought
home and dispersed among the marine bar
racks in the northern part of the United
States that the officers and men may re-
cuperate from their stay in the tropics.
1t is probable that because Of his desire
to hasten his work on the isthmus as much
as possible and to leave tite congressional

commodations for their party on the army
