then entered the diningroom, where
young Stewart, who had been seated
at breakfast, was Just rising from the
table. Robinson attacked him imme-
diately, plunging long knife into his
body close to the heart, the blade sink
ing deep into the chest, and again into
the abdomen.
Robinson then returned to his rooms,
reloading his rifle and leaving his knife
and apparently slipped a asrevolver into
his pocket. Leaving his rooms again
he descended to the first floor. one
portion Of which is used as a carpen-
ter shop by H. w. Chase. Chase prob
ably saw Robinson coming, but paid
no attention to him, for Robinson ap-
preached close to him and, suddenly
throwing up his rifle, fired, the bullet
entering Chase's breast ssclose to the
heart. The third victim apparently

Harry Doddridge, son of W. H. Dodd-
ridge, opened the door. Robinson i'm
mediately raised his revolver and at
the crack young Doddridge sank to the
floor with bullet just above the heart
Death followed before medical assist
ance could be summoned
Mrs. Doddridge, the young mans
mother, heard the shot and ran
screaming from the house Robinson,
hearing the screams, started through

headlong upon her face in the yard.
w. H. Doddridge, who was in bed on
the second floor when he heard the
commotion jumped or fell out of the
window. breaking the bones of his
right hand and probably sustaining in
ternal injuries.
Robinson searched the house for
more people. When he came to the
room just vacated by Doddridge he
climbed upon the bed and, placing his
revolver to his temple, fired a bullet
which tore off the top of his head.
There is no known reason for think

The Forest Fire law of 1908 was re-
pealed at the last session of the Wash
ngton Legislature and new law sub
stituted. The new law provides for a
State Board of Fire Commissioners
consisting of five members, one of whom
is the S ate Land Commissioner, and
the other four are appointed by the
Governor; all to serve without compen-
sation. This State Board OF Fire Com
missioners has absolute control of all
fire wardens aid the general policy Of
carrying into effect the law. The State
Fire Warden is to be appointed by the
Commission, and deputy fire warden
in each of the timbered counties; the
latter at compensation of four dollars
per day, from June lst to October 1st OF
each year. The deputy fire wardens
will be under control of the State Fire
Warden. The deputy fire wardens in
each county will have power to grant
permits TO burn slashings during the
closed season; under the old law the
county commissioners granted permits.
The "Closed Season" is from June
lst to October 1t of each year, during
which time it is illegal to burn slash
ings without permit. Spark arrest
ers must be used on all locomotives and
logging engines from June 1st TO Oct
ober 1st of each year. The law pro-
vdes penalties for burning slashings
without permit during the closed sea-
son: for refusing to aid deputy fire
wardens. and for operating locomotives
without suitable spark arrcsters. One

to be betrayed by the county and the
remaining two-thirds by the state.

BUILD THE ROAD
The Red Mountain Mining District
The Richest i'm the State.
NORTH STAR MINING COMPANY
Has Machinery Bought and Ready TO
Move as Soon as the Red Noun
tain Road Is Built.

Messrs. Edward and A. G. Ellis, of
Seattle, spent a couple of days in
Leav, nworth this week. Edward Ellis
is the upefintendent of the North
Star Mining Co., of Seattle, in which
company some of the most prominent
inanciers in the state are interested as
stock holders and officers. The North
Star owns some of the best mining
property at Index and also owns a large
lot of valuable mineral land on Red
Mountain.
Mr. Ellis tells the writer that he
made two trips 10 the Red Mountain
last year, and after making thorough
examination he says he has no hesit-
ancy in saying that he considers the
Red Mountain district the richest and
most promising in the state of Wash
ington.
He says the building of the Red
Mountain road will open up an import
ant mineral belt that has been known
for years to be rich but has lain dor
mant simply because it was inaccessi-
BILE.
If the state road is built as projected
his company will have to build eight
miles of road to their property. This
they will do at once and have complete
by the time the state highway is com
pleted.
10 lo, nd tho n
large five drill air compressor which he
will store here until the road is com
pleted so he can have the machinery
hau'e to the mines.
He went to Spokane Thursday and
intends to purchase a saw mill which
he will set up near the mines.
A large force of men will be put TO
work at once developing the company's
property.
Mr.. Ellis also told US that on the
route of the proposed road there is
some of the finest agricultural land he
has seen on the east side of the noun
tains. The valleys are broad and level.
Another mining company is now en-
gagged in erecting a stamp mill on
property this side of the Red Mountain,
where during the panic of the nineties
a mine was opened but was later closed
down because of the disturbed financial
condition of the country. This is said
to be free milling gold proposition.
Build this road, gentlemen of the
commissioners court. and in two years
a half million dollars worth of taxable
property will be added to the tax rolls
of Cheian county.

Timely Warning.

But few days ago the Portland
Travellers Aid Association announced
the preparation of large number of
leaflets and pIacards, to be distributed
in the large centers of popu alton.
warning unskilled and unemployed
young women against coming to Port
land to seek positions simply because it
is exposition year. 1t is the purpose to
set forth the fact that such field of labor
will be greatly overcrowded. Such
warning is timely, and the hope is that
it wi prove efficacious.
1t is very natural that many young
women should be attracted to an expo
sition city, in the belief that remunera-
tive employment is to be had m rely
for the asking. This is a mistaken no.
tion, nevertheless; dangerously so, in
fact, as that young woman may realize
whose ambitious mission results in fail
ure, and who finds herself without en-
ployment, means, friends or protection
in city like Portland, with great expo
sition in full swing. The risks incident
to such step are not to he complacent-
y contemplated by those of the gentler
sex who are endowed with plenty of
moral stamina and who have some
knowledge of the world, while to the
inexperienced not so equipped there is
positive menace in the situation.
1t would be well If the Portland
Travellers Protective Association called
attention in its warnings to the unfortu-
nate fact that young women of the city
who now have employment as clerks,
stenos raphers and the like, have cause
TO complain OF the conditsons which the
cupidity of the landlord and boarding
house proprietor promises to impose.
These latter, evidently believing that
there is to be but one year in Portland, +,
that the present year of the exposition,
and after that the deluge, have signilied
their intention of advancing room rent
and the price of board until their
working girl patrons have come to re-
gard the fair as a detrlment to their
welfare. Many of these young women

declare that after they have paid the
advanced price of living, they will have
left from a weeks wages but fraction
of dollar for clothing and incidental
expenses.
These facts, if forcibly brought to the
attention of young women who erroni-
ously believe that during the approach

cially discouraging. These are not
pleasant facts, even for Portland peo-
pie to contemplate. 1t is indeed pitia-
BILE that any considerable class of per-
sons should allow the mighty dollar to
tread so closely upon the heel of their
conscience, or perhaps more accurately,
trample conscience under foot entirely.
1t is the condition, however, aud not
the ethical desire, that the wage earn
ing young women of Portland who does
not live at home has to face. The more
clearly this condition is understood by
her sisters abroad infinitely better will
it be for all concerned Portland EV-
ening Telegram.

RUNNING FULL BLAST
Big Mill Started UP Monday Morning
ON Roth Sides.
WITH A LARGE FORCE OF MEN
From One Hundred TO One Hundred
and Fifty thousand Feet Turned
Out Every Day.

If you want to see something doing
take walk over to the big mill.
The point in the development Of the
plant has been reached when produc-
tion begins. Lumber is being made at
"a rapid rate.
When you look at those two big Nc
Donough double edge band saws re.
ducing logs to lumber at the rate of one
for every five minutes you can get some
idea of the number of logs it will take
to keep the mill going.
The lumber commenced to go down
the incline to the graders in steady
stream Monday morning, keeping Mr.
Jarvis quite busy checking up the
grades.
A large quantity OF first grade west
ern pine umber is now being made out
of the logs that came down from the
Lake Wenatchee region. This grade
of lumber finds ready sale in the eas.-
ern market at from fifty to seventy i've
dollars per thousand feet. AS its merits
become bett err known 10 the trade the
demand will Increase. Ii takes good
polish and when finished in natural
colors is very attractive and handsome
Some finished specimens of this class of
Washington pine will be on exhibition
at Portland and will no doubt attract
the attention of manufacturers who are
constantly on the lookout for something
new and good.
James Hamil who operates the right
hanp saw ia the mill broke the record
which SO far had been made by saving
SO, 800 feet of lumber in one days run.
He says, however, with the logs that
are now coming down from the noun
tains it will be quite possible to turn
out 5000 feet for each of the saws in a
run of ten hours. One can hardly
have correct idea of what this really
means. Let us put it in average car
loads. One hundred and fifty thou. land
feet of lumber will load just about nine
cars, and represents about 375 saw logs
This is the saw timber from about
twenty five acres of average timber
land. Thus it will be seen that it will
take thirty acres of timber land 10 sup
ply the mill with logs every week, one
hundred and t@enty acres every month,
and in round numbers about two sec
tions of timber land for every nine
months run. Az this rate seventy sec
tions of land, and this approximates the
Lamb Davis Lumber Compauy's tim
ber holdings, will last for thirty i've
years.

Irrigation in the MILK River valley.

NFfl&atlOn IN the MIX tslFer Nalleys
Montana is coming in for big share
of the general prosperity of the country
and it will only be few short years
when she will rank with any OF the
northwestern states in agricultural
greatness. The recent act of the In
terror Department of the United States
in setting aside $l,000,000 toward re-
claiming three Or four hundred thou
sand acres in the Milk River Valley is
but beginning of much vaster de-
velopment of this section as the needs
grow apace. Already the agricultural
worth of this to be famous valley has
been adequately demonstrated in the
tion works already established. 1t has
been successfully proven that all kinds
of agricultural products grow in great
abundance wherever irrigation is used.
The soil is naturally rich and needs
only moisture to make it yield proliii-
cally. The Great Northern Railway
furnishes adequate transportation
facilities, its main line practically cut
tirg the valley in two. The fact that
the government has decided to begin
immo diate operations will prove a great
incentive to the people of that section
who have always b lieved in the future
of their country and will open to settle
mtnt vast area of rich land to the
homese, ker and investor.
