Ashursf on the Coast

The Los Angeles Examiner of Nov. IA contained a lengthy inter- view given out by the Hon. H. F. Ashurst. After discussing the New York election, Mir. Ashurst, accord ing to the Examiner. made the fol- lowing statement:
 "The recent disclosures of shame fully fraudulent practices by insur- ance companies, particularly, has sent a wave of sentiment through the land to such an extent that in the future the people, when they vote, are not going to ask, Is the candidate democrat or republi. camp but, Is the candidate honest and will he faithfully perform the duties of his office?"
 In this statement the NEWS heart. fly agrees with MT. Ashurst. Not only in national affairs will the people ask: "Is the candidate hon. est and will he faithfully perform the duties of his -office?" but they will ask that question even in re mote places-Coconino county, Ari. zona, for instance Here, withou, exception. we dare say the voters will ask that question at the next election, and unless that examiners report is forthcoming they will have to do some guessing.

Tonisht-At the Opera House

A large crowd greeted the vaude- vile performers at the Seaside the ater last night. Not only was there a good crowd, but it was one of the best pleased audiences that has ever assembled since this play house was opened.

Raymond Teal was all that was promised for him-a show in himself The minstrel first part and olio was one grand entertain ment, which kept the patrons of the house in constant roar of laugh ter. This was followed by the mirth-provoking Irish comedy "Finnegan's 4OO." Every character in the cast was well performed, and the people continued to laugh long after they reached the street.-The Journal. Ocean Park, Cal, October 31. 1905.

Grand Canyon, Nov. 15, '05.
 The work train which is engaged in unloading cinders south of the Canyon was delayed several hours today by strike of the entire Jap anese gang which is located at mile post 60. We understand the strike was caused by trouble between a foreman and one of the Japs, and at last accounts it was not settled.
 Niles Cameron has been at work improving the trail near the toll gate this week.
 Mrs. Cameron of Flagstaff is here for an indefinite stay with her sons, Niles and Ralph Cameron.

Improvements at the Mill

This week the NEWS scribe made a tour of the enlarged plant of the Saginaw x Manistee Lumber Co.,, on which large force of men have been engaged for some time past under the direction of MT. Charles Roeder. The additions 10 the main building, or practically the con- struction of a new building, is now about complete. This gigantic task has been completed without the ne- cessity of closing down the plant. and was quite an undertaking. A vast quantity of new machinery is now on the ground. including the necessary machines for the turning out of barrels, which will mate rially decrease the waste of wood heretofore encountered.
 So far as now known. as stated to us by President Dermont, it is planned to close down the mill about the first of the coming month to allow for the installation of the new machinery and the construc tion of new power house. While the close down will probably be for some sixty days, it does not mean that all the men will be thrown out of employment for that length of time, as their services will be nec- essary in the completion of the plant.
 When everything shall have been completed and in running shape both exterior and interior views will be taken of the plant. and at that I time the NEWS will issue specially illustrated edition with thorough descriptive write-up of the plant and business. This will proba ply occur about the 1st of February.

Forest Reserve Rules

All grazing applications for other than sheep for the San Francisco mountains and Black Mesa forest reserves must be on file with the forest supervisor by Jan. 1. 1906.
 All sheep grazing applications must de filed with the forest super visor by Feb. 1, 1906.
 Applications not filed by the time specified cannot be consid- cred. It is absolutely necessary for grazing applications to be in by the time mentioned, in order that the total number of stock allowed on the reserves can be equitably divided among stockmen. No pro- vision can be made for those who do not make application on time, for the reason that the supervisor has no means of knowing what their intentions are and must nal ke the division of range and numbers by the applications before him.
 At present the grazing fee has not been settled upon.
 As soon as applications are acted upon the applicant will be notified of the number for which permit will be granted and will be re- quired to pay the fee fixed. by pos tai or express money order or New York draft made papable to James B. Adams, Special Fiscal Agent, Washington, D. c.
 Information as to price and re- mittances will be furnished when applicants are notified of the nun Der for which permits will be granted.
 All forest rangers are supplied with grazing application blanks. or they may be obtained from F. s. Breen, Forest Supervisor, Flag staff, Arizona.

CAN'T FOOL THE PEOPLE.

Several dozens of the most notori-
GUS gamblers and boosters who have
operated in Pendleton, are still in
the city and it is openly charged
that gambling is yet running in sew
eral places.
Does the city council hope to fool
the people in this matter?
Has the city marshal been notified
to close, and keep closed all gambl-
ing? Or are these parasites now in
the city yet gambling on the quiet,
in hopes that they will not be mo-
lested?
If the council dallies with this mat
ter. and does not enforce the law, it
will only hasten the day when the
people will elect their own city mar
shal, instead of making that official
a plaything of the council
The city marshal will enforce the
laws If backed up and authorized by
the council but being the creature of
the council can do nothing without
its order and authority.
The people cannot be fooled in
this matter. They know what the
law is and know the oath taken by
the council on taking office.

Salem is meeting with the same
difficulty in making street improve
ments that is besetting the pathway
of progress in Pendleton. A few
rich property holders who receive
enormous rents on the main streets
are unwilling to pay their proper
tionate share of the improvement and
being in positions to block the mat
ter. are holding the entire city back,
These same property holders at
least many of them, in Salem as well
as in Pendleton. are anxious to levy
upon the vices to raise funds with
which to conduct the city govern
ment, in order that they may escape
the lust responsibilities that follow
ownership of large holdings. 1t IL
unjust to the city, to permit sucf
considerations to block progress
Let us meet this matter like men,
as Councilman Rem pertinently re-
marked at wednesday nights coun
Gil meeting.

were encouraged to emigrate into the
part of the island. with the
idea that these colonies could be
gradually extended toward the south
until the whole island should come
under their influence.
The political situation of Japan at
that time was not such that she
could resist this form of aggression,
for she had no stending army, and
no means of holding Saghalien by a
military force against Russian en-
croachments; but Japanese settlers
went in increasing numbers to the
southern part of the island so that
while the northern part became more
and more Russian. the southern be-
came more and more japanese.
So it continued until 1853, when
Russia, profiting by the confusion in
to which Japan was thrown by the
entire change in her policy, boldly
seized the northern half of the island
This action stirred the whole nation
to indignation. An ambassador was
sent to st. Petersburg to demonstrate
with the Russian government, and 1t
was not until 1875 that the matter
was settled by a treaty, by which
Japan received from Russia the Kur-
lie islands, which never were Russian
except in name, and was obliged to
forego all claims to Saghalien, whicn
now became entirely Russian.
The real value of the island to ia
pan would be its fisheries. Shoals o.
fish of all kinds are found close t'
the shores.

THE FOREST PLANTERS.

The news that Northern New
York lumber company has received
$4,000 Seeding spruce trees from
Germany to plant upon a partly de-
nuded tract of Adirondack land came
appropriately for Arbor Day. 1t is
only one of many recent instances
showing an awakening sense of the
value of forest preservation and cul-
ture among the very men who have
been it's chief enemies. The German
spruce is especially valuable for its
rapid growth.
Some of the more intelligent Adj
rondack lumbermen now follow to
advantage the policy of cutting only
trees above a certain size, leaving the
rest to grow. Great railway compa-
nies are planting thousands of acres
of forest for the purpose of provid-
ing ties for the future. In Kansas
the commercial cultivation of the
catalpa has proved a success. Forest
reservations in many states justify
the pride of citizens.a .and attest their
watchfulness.
Ten years ago the prospect OF
saving even portion of the nations
forest wealth and thus preventing
millions of acres of land from be-
coming a semi-desert waste looked
rather discouraging. Today it is pos
sible to report progress.

WHAT JAPAN WILL DEMAND.

whenever there is talk about peace
Bskweep Japan and Russia it seems
70 be taken for granted that Japan's
Eiryt demand will be the restoration
n that empire of the island of Sagha
Nea, where the cars most notorious
nCuVict colonies are established.
When it is remembered that the
Eland is one of the bleakest spots on
nhe face of the earth, the question
1ne naturally asks is, Why does
zzpan wish to gain possession of such
u dreary piece of territory?
The. truth is, it is purely sentimen-
EM reasons that will induce the
statesmen of the Mikado to include
BaEhalien island in their terms of
Daace. The Russians took it from
JApan when that country was too
weak to uphold their rights, and now
eAmt she has proved the conqueror
ne will demand its return.
saghalien is a long, narrow island
rrxnning north and south, lying off
Eke east coast of the Maritime prov
fuee of Siberia It is $40 miles long,
uzzsing from 20 to $50 miles in
zsdtf1; and boasting of an area of
sz4.55O square miles, or almost as
large as the kingdom of Greece. 1t
N however, anything but an attrac-
Sze country land of rain and fog
1zring the winter. 1t is separated
srom Yezo, the most northerly of the
Japanese main islands, by a narrow
straits of Laperouse.
Russia cast longing eyes upon Sag
haIien and determined to annex it.
Ehe recognized that the island itself
would be of no practical use to her
A,ut she looked upon Saghalien as the
Enleway to Japan. 1t would bring
Aer in close proximity to the Island
II Yezo, with it's fine harbors and
summarizing position. From there
n the main island of Japan would be
bat a step, and Russia, mistress OF
Japan, would also see herself in po'
sRion to swallow Manchuria and
KErea whenever she had mind tC
AD so.
About 1906 she approached Japan
nEking for treaty of commerce, bu
znpan being suspicious of her inten
aeus. refused to negotiate. Russia
