Justified, Say the Jury.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 2S.-Mrs.
Gertrude Robb, who shot George Joye,
infiicting wounds from which he died
six weeks later, is a free woman.
Twelve men, good and true, have
decided that she was justified in kill
ing the man who ruined her daughter,
and from this verdict there is no APP
peal. 1t took the jury but forty min
utes to arrive at a verdict of not gull
ty, conclusion that has been fore
cast and predicted by all those who
have followed the case since June 2,
when the outraged mother met George
Joye at the Colman dock and, after
taxing him with the wrong that he had
done her child, drew a revolver and

Der who take advantage Of the privi-
lege is rapidly increasing. There has
been some dissatisfaction expressed
because of delays in securing these
permits, but in most cases the delay
has been attributable to the settler
Commissioner Richards states that
in the Black Hills forest reserve, in
South Dakota, where great deal OF
mature timber is sold, the revenue has
for three years past been In excess OF
the total outlay for the administration
of that reserve. He advocates an ex-
tension of the sale and. lease PROPOSE
ton, SO that the government may make
all of it's forest reserves self sustain
ing. He believes a reasonable charge
should be made for the privilege OF
grazing stock in reserves. The revenue
that should be derived from such a
charge would, he says, be in proper
ton to the magnitude of the great
wool industry in those localities; and
there certainly appears to be no good
and sufficient reason for allowing that
industry use of the heritage within the
reserves free. of charge while requir-
ing that the labor trade shall pay for
it's supplies drawn from the same
source.
There are also numerous sawmills,
hotels, road ranches, summer resorts,
stores and other establishments with
in the reserves, all of which should
pay a small charge each for the privi-
leges granted of so occupying and
using forest reserve lands. Under such
management it would not be long be-
fore the reserves would become more
than self-suppOrting," says Commits
sioner Richards. yearly appropria-
tions for their care would cease to be
necessary. 1t accordingly appears ne
cessary that congress should take the
proper action to this end at an early
date
The efficiency of the forest ranger
system is shown by the marked de-
crease in the number and extent of
fires within forest reserves. During the
last fiscal year there were extinguished
231 fires which had passed the incip-
lent stage when discovered. The area
burned over before the fires were put
out aggregated 1887 acres, and the
cost of extinguishing them, exclusive
of the salaries of the forest reserve
employees, was $4127. This is a de-
crease from the prior year of 4S in this
class of fires, a decrease in the area
burned over of 166,917 acres, and a de-
crease in the extra cost of $2O36. The
large decrease in the area burned over
is partly accounted for by the fact that
the large fire in the Rainier forest re-
serve in Washington in September,
1902, burned over 129,O1S acres.
Commissioner Richards closes his
report with the Recommendation that
the administration of forest reserves
be transferred from the interior de-
partment to the bureau Of forestry OF
the agricultural department. He says
the agricultural department has ia
cilities and equipment for this work
which the interior department lacks.
He strongly urges legislation authoriz-
ing the transfer
