REF0RMER GOES THE ROUTE
Collects Evidence Against Saloons
and Gets Jim Jams

VANCOUVER, Wash, June 25.-
CraZed with drink absorbed in collect
ing evidence against saloonmen for re-
naming open Sunday, L. D. Seal,
we'll known merchant of Vancouver
started quarrel with his wife and
was arrested. Later he broke Jail
and for two hours held the police and
a crowd of several hundred at bay
with a loaded shotgun before he was
captured through the aid of preach
er.
Seal sat in his home with a loaded
shotgun and vehemently shouted that
he would kill any one who dared en-
ter the gate. The police, fearing that
he might carry his threat into execu-
ton and not only kill one person but
many, because of the large number of
spectators crowded into the street, re-
Trained from entering. At last through
the efforts of Rev. T. E. Elliott and
others, Seal agreed to surrender, pro-
vided he was allowed bail and was
not taken to Jail.
Early Sunday morning Seal
started out with the avowed intention
of collecting evidence against the
saloons of the city to file a case
against them for keeping open on
Sundays. 1t is said he visited a num-
Der of saloons, in which he took one
or more drinks. Shortly after noon he
went to the home of J. E. Harris. Mrs.
Seal, who recently returned from a trip
to California, was in the Harris home.
A quarrel started. The police were
called in and Seal arrested. He was
locked in the women's cell in the Jail.
He succeeded in freeing himself, went
home and provided himself with a
shotgun loaded with buckshot.
The police attempted to coax him
to come out but Seal refused to bulge.
When an attempt was made to enter
the yard, Seal threw up his gun into
position and cried that he would shoot
he first man that tried to enter.
After the Rev. Mr. Elliott had as
sisted in landing Seal, the latter went
down town and became boisterous
again. this time being locked up in the
city Jail for the night. He will prob
ably be tried for assault and battery
upon his wife.

AS Madam Trentoni' tripped down

FOREST PROBLEMS.

Several of our states are now GU
one rating with the national govern
ment in maintenance of forest re-
Serves each of them taking up the
work on it's own account. AS Hleh' oo
exnecteJ it is our older states tha'
are doing this; for in our newer slates'
whore there are heavily timbered large
areas. We have not yet ceased u ue
stroy timber simply for the purpose
of getting it out of the way, Tor pro-
morton of grazing and agriculture.
Much of such work will be done for
MANY wears yet, in the western parts
of Oregon and Washington. Tree Gull
ture in the eastern parts and tree oe-
struction in the western parts of these
will be pursued together, during long
time further.
Fourteen or fifteen states now mann
tain officials specially charged WHO
preservation of their forest interests.
New York has 100000 acres in re-
serve: Pennsylvania has 100000 and
Wisconsin 100000, says the Orego-
MAN. These and. other states are buy
ing lands from private owners, to IN
crease the area Of their forests. Most
of these lands are good for nothing, Of
course, but to bear trees.
Necessity of bringing lands into
speedy use for crops, together with
desire of forest owners to make i'm
mediate profits, has destroyed much
timber that might doubtless have
~
Moreover, it may be accepted as GER
tainty that much more attention than
heretofore will now and henceforward
be given to care and preservation OF
forests It is coming to be necessity;
for men are asking where our timber
supplies are to be had. even twenty
years hence. There never will be
much timber grown in the great in
terror basin of America. The yearly
precipitation is too small. Because
rainfall is most abundant where for
ests grow, many believe that forests
exert an important influence on the
amount of precipitation. Yet prosa-
bly, it is inappreciable A more reason
able inference or explanation is that
rainfall is the great factor in control
ling the distribution and density of
forests. And this is the natural con-
clusion of the forestry bureau.
The time undoubtedly will come, in
our country. though it is yet distant.
when the preservation of timber will
be accepted as one of the functions of
government. Forest trees then may
not be cut without permit had from
the authorities, local or general, and
only such trees as have been inspected
and marked. Growing need of timber,
with its increasing scarcity, will re-
quire the most careful measures of
administration to preserve even par
tial supply. Reservation of forest lands
is the first step in a policy that will
develop within few years into one of
the most important functions of the
government

JURORS WHO CONVICTED
MAN FEAR HIS VENGEANCE

BOISE, Ida, June 26.-It is reported

weeks ago and for whom the peniten-
tlary guards have since been securing

1t is thought he is in the section

jurors who sat on his case. Before he
lett Boise he stated that if he was
ever released from the penitentiarv he
would do so, and there is considerable
apprehension on the part of the jurors
lest he carry out his threat.
Several officers are now on his trail

SHE HAD ANOTHER HUSBAND
Col. William Stokes is Angry al
His Wife

NEW YORK, June 26.-Colonel Will
liam A. Stokes, commander of the
Twenty third regiment, the crack ma
tiOnal guard organization of Brooklyn,
has begun suit against his wife to
have their marriage annulled on the
ground that when it took place, he,
first husband, from whom she had not
been divorced, was living.
His wife was formerly Mrs. Eliza
beth w. Hitchings. Her husband, John
Hitchings, left Brooklyn in 1896 to go
to the klondike in pursuit of gold. He
did not return and little over a year
ago, Colonel Stokes, whose first wife
had died two years previously, was
married to Mrs. Hitchings. His chill
dren We're opposed to this marriage
and left him.
Colonel Stokes owns a fine residence
on exclusive ST. Marks avenue, in
Brooklyn, and trouble started between
him and his second wife over her de-
sire to hive him transfer the exclusive
ownership of it to her. Then he<ce-
gan tracing her past, and, as his law
yer states, he found that her first hus-
band was not dead, as she professed
to believe, but was living in the state
of Washington.
A statement of why he had left his
wife was obtained from Hitchings, and
Stokes attorney says it can be pro-
duced at the trial of the suit if needed
Stokes is rich and prominent, and his
second wife has been received with
him in high social circles.
1t was learned today that John
Hitchings was located at Tacoma,
Washington, where he is keeping a
general merchandise store, and SELL
ing supplies to Alaskan miners.
