After Thieves.

In Justice Garrison's court
Wednesday, T. j. Conner swore
out a warrant against j. H. Car
penter, charging him with the
crime of burglary. The COM
plant charges Carpenter with
entering house at Silver Park
and taking therefrom goods and
merchandise consisting of wines,
liquors and cigars to the value of
fifty over dollars.
Conner has been working at
the Ida May for some time and
left his stock Of goods at Silver
Park, locked up in his place OF
business and when he returned he
had nothing left. He gained
some evidence connecting Car
penter with the theft and impli-
eating others, with the result
that he came in and swore out
the warrant.
Deputy Sheriff Walker left for
the Park Wednesday, accom-
panied by Conner, and will make
the arrest of Carpenter and also
investigate the matter, with a
view of ascertaining as to wheth-
err or not others are implicated.
He expects to be home this even
ing.

Dies Very
Suddenly

Sad in the extreme, and COM
ing as a shock to the entire com
munity, was the announcement
of the death of Mrs. Chas. A..
Thompson of Phoebe, which oc-
Cured about 6 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon.
Mrs. Thompson was born at
Empire near Carson City, Ne
vada, about twenty-six years
ago. She was educated in the
public schools of Ormsby county
and the State University of Ne
vada.
She was well known through
out the northern part of Lincoln
county for about seven years,
having taught school in Pahran-
agat Vahey, Meadow Valley
Wash and Dutch Flat.
About two and a half years
ago she was married to Chas. A.
Thompson, of the firm of A. S.
Thompson & Co., and one of the
leading young business men of
Phoebe. Mrs. Thompson's maid
en- name being Selma Sullivan.
Since her marriage to Mr..
Thompson, she had made Phoebe
her home, where she has merited
the love and respect of the en-
tire community by her uniform
courtsey to all and admirable
disposition.
Her married life was one OF
the happiest; and when a little
one came to cement the love
existing between husband and
wife, Mrs. Thompson was strick

ical science and loving care coulC
do was rendered, it was of M

Meat in Such Demand in Paris That

PARIS, March 7.-AccOrding to Of
fetal statistics 10000 horses were eaten
in Paris last year. This represents
about II 900, 900 kilOgrammeS of horse
flesh, as compared with the earlier fig
ures of 1889, when a total of only s.
OOO, 900 was eaten. This branch of the
butcher business in Paris seems to be
growing in favor. so that the horse
butcher is assuming the position of
quite a respectable competition with
the beef butcher
Horse butchers signs, with gilded
horsehead above the door, are numer-
Gus in certain quarters of the city
This is particularly the case in we'll
do sections, and the fact almost
prompts the suggestion that the doc
tors are in league with the horse
butchers.
Doctors are more and more recon-
mending for certain patients who are
in need of building up their shattered
systems a bit of horse flesh, and for
persons whose constitutions are
thoroughly run down with weakened
stomachs they prescribe the juice of
horsefesh, prepared under certain sim
pie conditions instead of the flesh it
self Some butchers make a special
ty of mule meat, which contains more
fatty matter than horse meat.

TEDDY SIGNED NOT WISELY
Nor Vet Too WelI-That Is the Opin-
ion of Men Who Know Timber
Situation.

SEATTLE March TN the belief
that to create more forest reserves in
the state of Washington would be to
prevent the timber on the public do
main falling into the hands of the tim
Der barons Of the country, President
Roosevelt yesterday signed his name
to a proclamation adding 4,291 900 acr
of timber lands to the forest reserves
already created in the state of Wash
ington. BY so doing the president gave
to the Weyerhaeuser Timber company
and to other rich corporations abso-
lutely undisputed sovereignty over
some of the richest and most valuable
timber lands in the state.
That the president was uniformed"
Of the most remarkable of his execu-
tive orders is the statement of men
who know the timber land situation in
this state. 1t is the contention of
these men-and this contention is ech-
oed by practically every small logger
and lumber operator in the state
l;lat the president has placed in the
hands Of the timber trust power such
as it's officers never before dreamed OF
possessing. and that the only people
who will be enabled to profit by the
operations of the act of the chief eX-
ecutive of the land will be the wealthy
timber land owners and logging con-
Germs which have already secured con-
troll of the major part of the virgin
forests of western Washington.
1t is pointed out that the Weyer-
| haeuser people and other big timber
| land owning corporations either now
have the wnership of all lands sur
rounding the reserves created under
Yesterdays executive order or will soon
| become the absolute owners of these
| lands Under such circumstances the
big lumber baron would be able to
log the lands up to the forest reserve
line, constructing railroads which
would be paid for out of the profits
| of his operations in the lower country.
Reaching the forest reserve line, the
timber baron and logging trust mag
nate would find his pathway unob-
structed. Under the forest reserve act
the government can sell the timber in
the reservs to thos who wish to buy
and who hav the price. The small
logger, owning no timber lands reach
ing the reserves, and without means Of
transportation of any kind, will be alb
solutely and effectively barred from

bidding for the government timber.
Only the timber baron and the logging
magnate having big plant in oper-
alton and backed by unlimited capt.
tai, could apply to purchase the timber
on the government reserves.
The facts stated in the foregoing
are we'll known and admitted by every
prominent logger and lumberman of
the state. At the local land office no
word has yet been received concern
der. 1t is believed here that the lands
lie in King county and were withdrawn
from entry no less than five years ago.

Hostility to Gas Machine Now
Thing Of the Past
CEREAL RA|sERs USE CHuG CHuGs
OLD TIME ANTIPATHY TO HORSE
REPLAcERS is FAST FADING
AWAY.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mch. 7.-Farmers
are well along in the art of donning
gauntlets and goggles and the jokester
must revise his stock jokes about the
stranded automobilist and the farm
er's horses. Out nthe country these
days it is as likely to be the agricul-
turist as the man from the city, who
is obliged to seek SuccOr. The farmer
however, with his superior mechani-
cal training, learned in his manipula-
ton of the harvester and the threShing
machine is better able to discover the
undetermined cause of the balky en-
CINE or nervous ignition system, and
is usually able to proceed under his
own power instead of substituting the
span of sturdy horses from the near
est field.
| Automobiling has found broad ex-
panse of activity in connection with
the farmers daily life. Throughout
the Mississippi valley Minnesota. and
the Dakotas and in Iowa the number
rapidly on the farm as well as in the
city The functions of the motor car
are manifold. From furnishing mo-
tor power for the churn to transport
ing the household to church on Sunday
there is little to which the self-pro-
PEELED vehicle is not adapted.
Get Together on Good Roads.
Hostility toward the motorist is
largely past. so the tourists are tes-
tifying in increasing numbers. Good
roads movements are enlisting the
hearty support of the farmer, who has
welcomed any project which promises
to relieve him of ahe onerous respOn-
sibility of working OUT his taxes on
the highways or to better the thor
oughfares which he must travel.
The prairies of the DakOtas, Mime
sofa and Iowa are well adapted for
automobile uses and the sale of ma
chimes to farmers in these states has
increased so greatly that many Mime
apolis dealers have their own agents
in the small cities throughout these
states and in many instances machines
are shipped to farmers by section and
township. Big crops have added great
ly to the bank accounts Of northwest
ern farmers, and now that it has been
thoroughly demonstrated that the
modern automobile is practical, easily
cared for and serviceable the demand
is growing greatly.
Representatives of the school which
holds that the self-propeled vehicle
viii some day push the horse aside,
spend much time in contemplation OF
the vast possibilities of the motor car
to perform all manner of labor from
| tilling the soil to garnering it's pro-
ducts. Few practical engineers, how
ever, have accepted the theory that the
horse will ever lose his usefulness.
and in this country only slight efforts
are being made to develop tractors or
other substitutes for equine traction.

WHY KELLY DIDN'T GO EAST
oregon Splinter Has No Record In
doors and Would Have Been
Foolish to Run.

PORTLAND Ore, March East
ern athletic circles are surprised that
Dan Kelly. of the University of Ore
gon, the worlds champion 1OO-yard
sprinter, should have turned down the
invitation of the Boston Amateur Ath-
letc Association to participate in it's
indoor meet. On the contrary, sur
prise does not exist in the Pacific
northwest.
1t would have been a pleasant trip
for Kelly no doubt, his expenses being
paid, and until it was mentioned in the
east that he might have refused on
account of fear Of defeat from Eaton,
ter. the idea had never suggested itself
to Kelly's friends.
AS a matter of fact, the champion
has enough work cut out for him this
year without the Boston trip. Next
month he will take part in the Seattle
Athletic club indoor meet in this city,
and then come contests with Stanford
university. and also the University of
California. Later in the season there
will be the Pacific northwest Amateur
Athletic association championships,
and also the first annual meeting of the
stars from all the big athletic clubs of
the Pacific coast
Whether the new rule of the ANA

to be seen. but leaving them out of
