SEXES GATEWAY TO LEWISTON.
Electric Road Makes Dirt Fly-BIocks
N. p. Plans.

Lewiston, Idaho. May 15.-The
Lewiston & Southern Electric railway
Sunday countered upon the Northern
Pacific by putting so men, with teams
and scrapers, to work upon the right
of way three miles south of this city,
at the mouth of Tammany hollow, the
gateway from Lewiston to the prairie
country. The men are divided into
two crews, one working toward the
city and the other working in the OPP
posite direction. This force will prob
ably be doubled tomorrow.
This move was wholly unexpected,
even by many citizens who have been
leaders in the subscription campaign,
as it was only last night at midnight
that Colonel Judson Spofford closed
the contract with Naylor & Norlin for
six miles of grading.
The men were at work at o'clock
Sunday morning, and at o'clock
some of the promoters of the project
gathered at the mouth of the gulch
and drank toasts to the success of
the enterprise. Toasts were given by
Colonel Spofford, ]. A. Crom, w. H.

IDAHO FOREST RESERVES.

Washington, ID. c., May 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has upheld Forester Pin
cot. with respect to that officials ad
minsration of the forestry service in
Idaho. The action of the president will
mean the establishment at an early
date of five new forest reservesin Idaho
and two additions to reserves already
created. 1t is estimated that these
new reserves will embrace over 49,
900, 900 acres of land. practically .ev-
cry acre of which is timber land and
of no farming value whatever.
Senator Hepburn, Governor Gooding
and Representative French have OPP
posed the policy of the government in
establishment of more reserves Sena-
tor Hepburn has been notified by Presi-
dent Roosevelt through letter that his
protest has been carefully considered,
but that, after all, conditions in the
satte warrant the establishment of the
reserves contemplated by Forester Pin
chot.
!. The action of the president is re-
garded as a victory for Forester Pin
ohot aud Senator Dubois, who have
been working hand in hand in this
matter. The senator said that the peo-
pie Of the state may be against the es-
adjustment of any more reserves in
the state, but as exigencies demand
some action on the part of the govern
ment for the protection of Idaho tim
Der, the administration must take re-
course in the policy outlined by Fores-
ter Pinchot. He called attention to the
fact that Weyerhaeuser alone owns
something like 100000 acres of the
best timber land in the state.

BOGUS QUEEN is GONE.
Also $4,000 She Extracted From
Italians in Boston.

Boston.-A woman who claimed to
be Charlotte, wlfe of Macmillan, form
er emperor of Mexico, and brother of
Francis Joseph, present emperor of
Austria, has, according to the Herald,
left the city after securing about $4O,-
900 from members of the Italian col
ony on the pretense that she was a
rightful claimant to the Austrian
throne.
'She u.s." the Herald says, ''being
sought by over 100 residents of the
north end district, who for almost
eight years have been paying her
money to enable her, as they sup
posed, to gain possession of the Aus
trian throre, upon which event TAX
ing place she promised that those
who helped her would be made min
listers and nobles- and be given vast
estates. One woman, the wife of a
prominent Italian, gave her $4,000 on
the strength of the promise that she
should be made a duchess. An organ
grinder contributed a few hundred dol
lars, all his savings, with the under
standing that he would be made court
musician. Others contributed tens
and hundreds on similar assurances.
Mysterious secrets, such as would
overthrow the present Austrian ruler,
were credited to the woman. When
she appeared in Boston eight years
ago it was mysteriously whispered
among the few in the north end
that Charlotte, sister in law of EN-
peror Francis Joseph, was in Boston
in disguise having escaped from
Brussels, where she had for many
years been confined in an asylum.
"Latterly the Italians had become
suspicious and began to hint openly
that Charlotte and her henchmen
were delaying matters. Recent visits
to the throne room disclosed that the
woman had left"

JAPAN VS.. FRANCE.
TOXIC HAS POSITIVE INFORMA-
ton AGAINST FRANCE.
Can Prove Russian Vessels Were Re-
peatedly in kamranh Bay After Of
ficiaIly Reported Leaving-Russians
Received Supplies While There
From Hundreds of Vessels.

Toxic, May 16.-Detailed confirma
tory information concerning Vice AID
miral Rojestvensky's use of Indo
China waters has reached the Jap
anese government from a variety OF
sources, both official and private. A
high Japanese official has sketched to
the Associated Press the important
acts of the Russian fleets since Frence
was moved to preserve neutrality. He
said:
THE governor general y of Indo-
China officially reported that the Rus
sian fleet had entirely departed from
Kamranh bay on April %, but on
April 20 there still remained in the
bay one cruiser, one torpedo destroyer
and Is transports of the Russian fleet
On April "a the entire Russian fleet
reentered Kamranh bay and rode at
anchor until April 26, when a major
ity of the warships sailed, leaving be-
hind four converted cruisers and one
torpedo boat destroyer. These latter
vessels took supplies of coal and pro-
visions. On april 26, toward evening,
these vessels stopped and examined
the German steamer Loosek and the
Norwegian steamer Providence, which
passed outside of the bay. On April
n more than 80 Russian vessels were
anchored at Honkohe, and at o'clock
In the afternoon they stopped and ex-
amined the British steamer Stettin,
which was passing.
According to the French official re-
port Vice Admiral Rojestvensky
promised Admiral de Jonquieres that
he would leave Honkohe May 8. It is
evident, however, that the Russians
were anchored at Honkohe on May 8.
"The latest kilograms from -Indo-
China indicate the presence at Hon.
kobe on May AZ of seven Russian bat
tleships, seven cruisers, two torpedo
boat destroyers and four converted
cruisers.
Since the appearance of the Rus
sian fleet in the far east Saigon has
become a base for the transportation
Of military supplies for Vice Admiral
Rojestvenskys fleet. The number of
vessels furnishing supplies to the Rus
slams is so great that those which
were anchored at Saigon May 5 were

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Big Battle Expected Soon on Land
and on Sea.

and on Sea.
The event of the week in the Russo
Japanese war was the junction Of the
two divisions of the Baltic squadron.
The division under Admiral Rojest-
vensky preceded that under Nebogat-
off by several weeks in the cruise to
the Pacific. Inc two divisions have
now come together and = was report
ed during the week, in what seemed
to be reliable authority that two
swift cruisers from Rojestvensky's
division had successfully run the
gauntlet and entered the Russian port
of Vladivostock. If that has been done
it means that the commander of the
Russian vessels at Vladivostock is
now advised of the plans of Admiral
Rojestvensky, and is, therefore, in a
position to cooperate more intelligent
ly.
Apparently the Russians have fail
ed in their endeavor to lure Admiral
Togo into southern waters and away
from his base of supplies. Togo has
been too wary for Russian strategy,
and has contented himself with plan
which seemed to comprehend the pro-
lection of Japanese ports and maintei
nance of a vigilant patrol, with the
view of intercepting the Russian ships
when they venture north on their way
to Vladivostock. Togo seems deter
mined to force the Russian admiral to
enter hostile waters where the jap
anese will have the option of attack
ing him at a point remote from
friendly harbors or of conducting an
harrassing attack by means of mines
and torpedo boats. Opinion has been |
freely expressed among European ma
val experts that a great sea battle |
can not much longer be avoided.
On land there has been a number
of minor clashes between the Russian
and Japanese outposts and one en-
gagement of considerable magnitude,
both sides claiming the victory.
In the meantime relations between
Japan and France have been danger
ously near the breaking point, Japan
feeling that France has not respected
the neutrality conditions of interna-
tional law.

IRRIGATION DRAWS ATTENTION
Washington and Oregon People Losing
Millions of Dollars. y

At last public interest in the state
of Washington in government irriga
ton, which has been too long apath
etc, is becoming stirred. AS the facts
sink into the public mind, it is real
lied that the interests of Washington
and Oregon have been woefully neg
lected.
Under the irrigation act, the pro
ceeds from the sales of public lands in
10 western states and territories are
set aside as government fund for the
reclamation of the arid lands of those
states and territories. That fund now
exceeds S27. 00O,O 900 and it is deplor-
able fact that while the states of Ore
gon, Washington and North Dakota
contributed in round numbers $4,000
900 of the S27, 900. 900, not a dollar has
been expended on government projects
within these three statesl
The state of Washington has con-
tributed about 100000, Oregon near
ly 100000, North Dakota about 81
100000. and 40 per cent of the $1,000
900 from tbs state has been with
drawn already and applied to irriga-
ton projects in other states.
And this Notwithstanding expert in
vestigation has shown that in eastern
Washington alone are 100000 acres
Of irrigable lands which can be put
under ditch. The great Big Bend
project alone would reclaim about
l 100000 acres. The scheme for i'm
the headwaters of the Yak
ina river would reclaim about 450, 900
acres more. The impounding of the
waters of the Falouse river in Wash
Lucna coulee would reclaim 100000
acres of the finest soil in all the west.
AS much more land can be reclaimed
by diversion of the waters of the Co.
umbia at Priest Rapids. The Okan-
ogan country has a meritorious pro-
ect of 1000 acres, and what is call
I'd the Kittitas project would reclaim
10000 acres.

RUSSIAN MAY DAY
EXPECTED DEMONSTRATIONS Did
NOT OCCUR LAST SUNDAY.
Order Reisned Generally Throughout
Entire Extent Of Russia-Strong
Forces of Troops on cuard-So-
cialists Trying to Create New
Strikes, but Workmen DisncIined.

st. Petersburg, May 16.-The wide
ly heralded May day demonstrations
In st. Petersburg we're a complete
fiasco, and reports from Moscow and
the provinces indicate that order
reigned on Sunday generally through
out the entire extent of Russia Minor
disorders are reported at Reval,
Kishineff and one or two other places,
but up to midnight no reports of seri-
GUS tumults or loss of life have been
received, and the attempt of the social
democrats and social revolutionists to
signalize May day by great antigov-
eminent demonstrations appears to
have been thorough failure.
In st. Petersburg the day was pass
ed in almost perfect quiet, and happily
without a drop of blood being shed.
The advertised meetings of the So
cialists were attended chiefly by spec
tators. Governor General Trepoff
handled the situation firmly, but with
view to avoiding collisions, and
made his dispositions skilfulIy. Squads
of Cossacks patrolled the streets, re-
ooiNSS DcinB Htlu out OI blBnl IN court
yards, but there was no occasion to
call out any troops.
More or less tension and agitation
were apparent in the streets in the in
dustrial quarters, among workmen
promenading under the eyes of Cos
sacks with whips in their hands, but
otherwise the city wore almost a nor
NAL appearance. The weather, which
was cold and raw, perhaps acted as a
deterrent of trouble. as Russians dis
like physical discomforts.

used their whips freely, inaicting
many nasty injuries.
