HOLDS LAND IN TRUST.
Laud Convention Told Presidents Pol
icy Viii Be Kept Up.

Denver, Colo. June 21.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has served notice on
the West. In letter that was read at
the Public Lands convention, which
came to an end last evening after
adopting resolutions much less rad
ical than those who had the affair in
charge originally had intended, that
the present administration will until
It's end pursue policy OF fostering
actual homemaking and preventing
the remaining public lands from be-
Ing exploited by men and corpora
lions and of prosecuting those who
perpetrate frauds.
The west, by reason of the presi-
dents written declaration and state
ments made in detail during the last
few days by Secretary of the Interior
Garfield and United States Forester
Pinchot, will have a much better un-
derstandfng of the Administrations
intention with respect to a matter
that Is second In Importance to no
other now occupying public atten-
ton. The better understanding has
been indicated already in the resolu-
lions adopted by a convention or
ganized with intent hostile to the ma
tional administration. These resolu-
tons do not in their entirety express
what conservative representatives of
me public lands states declare would
be the registered sentiment of the
west Itself IL unrestricted expression
thereof had been permitted in Den
yer.

VOTE CANAL LEVY.
Assessment to Dig Lake Washington
Waterway Carries.

Seattle, Wash, June 19.-The King
county board of commissioners this
afternoon granted the petition of the
Lake Washington canal enthusiasts to
form $685. 200 assessment district
to construct the waterway between
Puget sound and Lakes Union and
Washington. A petition will immedi-
ately be filed in the Federal court for
the appointment of board of assessors
to levy an assessment upon benefited
property.
This board will number IL persons
and tentative district extending from
the Snohomish county line to a point
three miles south of Kent has been ap-
proved. This would include the entire
city OF Seattle and half of the valley
between Seattle and Tacoma in the area
adjudged to be benefited by the canal.
The valley benefit consists largely in
removal of danger from damage by
floods, with the improvement in real
estate values from the opening of the
canal as secondary consideration.
By the action of the county commits
sioners approval is given to the plan OF
raising $.,O0O,0O0 by special assess
ment up to 10 mills for the construc-
ton OF canal. The extra $40, 900 is
needed for Office work and the expenses
of the commission.
The canal will be temporary affair,
the single lock in Shilshole bay being
the only piece of concrete work. 1t is
believed by the property owners in the
Lakes Union and Washington district
that the opening of a waterway between
the sound and the lakes will be fol-
lowed by government control and inn
provement.

weapon OF attack upon the Ministry.
The Progressives and coteric OF

attack on the Ministry over the
American question, their principal
aim being to strengthen their rcspec
tive positions In the coming election
of local assemblies and also In the
general election next year.

diplomatic impotency OF the saionji

a first-cIass power.
II Is difficult to foretell how far
they can succeed In stirring up the
public. but whatever attempts are
made In the way OF agitation, actual
hostilitics with the United States are
not even dreamed OF. The war talk
In some OF the American press is

campaign to defeat the policy Of the
pre sent administration at Washington,
which aims ut the conservation Of the
remaining public lands OF the United
States. WIS inaugurated in Denver to-
day. A convention known as the Pub
lie Lands convention, with delegates in

from all the states west Of the Missouri
river and from the territories. but real
Iy dominated by special interests in
Colorado and Wyoming, Is to form the
base OF this movement.
The states, through some of their
representatives, argue that 1t is essen
tial to their development that the ma
tional government stay its policy Of
conservation, so that millions OF acres
Of land may be thrown open to unre-
stricted entry and exploitation. Great
areas OF conserved lands deprive the
states Of revenue through taxation, as
we'll as by preventing rapid growth Of
population. The argument sounds log
zeal, and can be met only by the arous-
ed interest OF the entire country
North, East and South, as we'll as West
to the fact that the welfare OF the
people Of the United States as whole
is at stake.

Told truth.

iOiQ rum
Boise, Idaho, June 21.-Yesterda,
the state proved by documentary eyi
dence that money was sent Orchard
at San Francisco from Federation
headquarters as he testified. They
showed by the records OF the Postal
company at Denver that two remit
tances were made, one by Woln, Pet
tibone's representative. and the other
| by p. Bone, the latter name being a
play on the words. Orchard testified
that such name was often used BY
Pettibone. Further. It is understood
that handwriting expert will testify
at some time before the case is end
ed, that both applications were made
out by Pettibone. An interesting fea-
ture of those remittances is that
Identification of the payee was
waived in both cases.
Another link In the chain Of docu
mentary evidence OF payments has
been forged. A dispatch received
from the First National bank states
that the stub OF the 500 draft pur-
chased for simpkins In December,

cember q. the day on which the
money was sent to simpkins for Or
chard, as shown by the letter sent by
PettibOne to the latter In that draft
the second figure of the date had

sary to refer to the stub to determine
that the draft was issued to Simpkins
on the day that Pettibone gave as the
date on which the money was sent.
