Big Robbery in Clifton Forge.

From the Daily Review Of the
10th inst.
Between 3 and a o'clock Monday
morning an alarm of fire was turn
ed in followed bv second alarm a
few minutes later, but what was
supposed to be a large and disas-
tous fire by those who did not leave
their homes proved to be the most
daring and successful robbery that
has ever occurred in this city. 1t
is true there was some fire, but the
damage caused by it is mere moth
ing compared to the loss in money
the burglars secured.
The scene of action was in the
store of Mr. ] Warner Lewis in west
Clifton, near the e & 0 hospital.
Just prior to the sounding Of The
alarm which called out the fire de-
partment there was a terrific explo-
sion in the store Of Mr. Lewis and
the safe in which he kept his mon.
ey and valuables is a total wreck
MS the result Of the explosion and
between $1,000 and $l.l00 in cash
carried off. Mr. j A Mitchell at one
time a partner Of Mr. Lewis and
who occupied the rooms oyer the
store, was practically Jared out OF
the bed by the explosion. The peo-
pie in the npighborhood were soon
astir, but were unable to lay eyes
on the perpetrators Of the deed.
And strange to say the money
was not scattered about the store
like the other contents of the safe
which lends color to the belief that
the money was taken from the safe
and then blown open.
Chief of police Hornbarger and
Detective A M Richardson were
early on the scene making an in
vestigation but at late hour Mon
dav had been unable to secure a
tangible clue upon which to work.
Among other things shown by the
investigation is that the robbery
was the work of ametuers as the
destruction of the safe was COM
plete, whereas had professionals
had the job in hand only the door
would have been blown open.-Cov-
ingtOn Sentinel.

There is no reason why democrats,
as such, should be for lax enforcement
of the liquor laws. They, as citizens,
suffer from the waste of the drinking
habit as well as the republicans. Dem
ocratic busiRess men lose when the
wages which should pay for boots and
shoes and groceries go into the saloon
till, just as the republican business
man does. The passage of this ques-
tion from the realm of partizan poll
tics to one of economic and moral de-
bate, which began with reversal of
democratic tradition in Missouri where
Governor Folk enforced the laws, has
been happy thing for the country,
but a trying ordeal for the politicians.
1t has made it impossible hereafter to
line up the democratic party for
whisky. 1t can no longer be done in
Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee or Pennsyl-
vania. It cannot longer be done in
Minnesota or Minneapolis.

LUMBERMEN ASK CARS
Pacific Coast Manu- acturers Believe in
Reciprocal Demurrage Law.

been discussed frequently in Min
nesota and which is in operation in
Virginia, Texas, Georgia, and other
states, is now agitating the Pacific
coast lumbermen which dispose Of much
agents. According to the Pacific Lum-
Der Trade Journal, the Washington rail
way commission has discovered that it
can enforce the reciprocal demurrage
law passed recently.
The lumbermen are alive to the neces-
sity Of law that will secure a perma-
nent supply Of cars to relieve the stu
alton during the season when numbering
can be conducted at profit, and have
resented the suggestion of railroad Off
Gals that if the law were enforced an
advance in rates would follow. The
Seattle representatives of the Northern
Pacific stated that it would in all prob
ability revert back to the shipper.
In the other states mentioned here
tofore, shippers are daily collecting de-
murrage for cars that have not been
supplied: - 4.: 80 80 ,.: =

Winnipeg, Man.. July 6.-The camp
OF the lgorrOtes who have been on eX.

OF the United States government, and
the natives were taken to their quar-
tiers IN Winnipeg, where they will re.

WILL be taken to Chicago en- route to the
Paclhc coast, whence they will take
passage to the Philippines.
Ihat the United States government
ty In the care of the Igorrotes is due, it
is alleged to the negligence of Dr. T. K.
Hunt OF Chicago, who brought the ma
tives to the states a year ago last
March, and who, it is now said, has
failed to live up to his agreement with
the government IN GAZING for them.

guage of the Igorrotes reached Winni-
peg yesterday and Immediately went to
the camp where they began an investi-
cation. Thru the Interpretation Of
Schneidermind it was learned that the
band wished to return to their homes,
and further that they were dissatisfied
with the treatment they had been SUBJ
Jected to since being brought to this
continent. It was then determined
that the band should be taken to Chica-
60 preparatory to returning to the

CLELAND SEES THE CROPS
Northern Pacific Man Is Confident Of

~ never saw the west so prosperous
and the general conditions SO good as
they are at present, and there is work
for everyone. Building is being pushed
all thru the country and I understand
that labor is in great demand: =,
"The crops were never better, and
between st. Paul and Butte, thru the
Dakotas. the grain is simply grand.
From all indications the traffic from the
west next fall should be the heaviest
in it's history.
r"Farther west along the coast states
the same encouraging conditions prevail
and the crops are all in good condition.
This is especially true of the fruit crop,
which is said to be the finest in years.
Everywhere turnout this vast re:
gion there is evidence of the greatest
activity in all lines. 1t is great

Consuming Our Inheritance.

The disappearance of the country's
hardwood timber is menace even
more serious than the melting away OF
our pine forests. A new growth OF
pine can be secured in forty years, but
a century would not replace the mag
nifcent groves of oak and elm that are
falling before the lumberman. A COM
mittee of the National Hardwood Lum-
bermen's association reported recently
that at the present rate all the coun-
try's timber, both pine and hardwood,
will be consumed in thirty-tiVe years.
The report also recommended that there
should be legislation forbidding, ex-
portation of logs, and exemptlng all
tree plantations from taxes. 1t is GER
tainly high time to take some measures
of this kind to encourage forestatlon.
It is too late, however, to raise new
forests of hardwood in time to replace
those that are disappearing, and hard
wood lumber seems an essential IN
many lines Of manufacture.
Steel has replaced lumber to large
extent In the framework Of buildings
and bridges, but in the manufactures
there are many places where hardwood
seems indispensable. In making furnl-
ture and agricultural implements 1t is
an essential, and hardwood famine
would work tremendous revolution in
such industries. Already northern for
ests are vanishing, and about the only
hardwood north of the Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers that is still abundant is
birch. There is nothing to take the
place of oak in all the great forests
of the Pacific coast, and the whole
country is looking to the south TO-
it's supply. 1t is no uncommon thing
to ship lumber from the far southern
states a distance of a thousand miles
and meanwhile many great cargoes arr
being sent abroad from southern ports
The end is in sight, and an era of higl
prices is following the long years O.
abundance.
