Addition to Arizona Reserve

An addition containing 554,24O acres has been made to Black Mesa national forest in Arizona by a proclamation signed by the presi- dent on July 12, 1907. The total area of that forest is now 2,594,4S0' acres. The addition lies in a mar row strip along the northern boundary of the forest, extending west from the New Mexico line to Chaves Pass, and is in Apache, Navajo and Coconino counties.
 The northern portion of the Black Mesa national forest includes practically all of the pine timber on the north slope of the White range, east of the Mogollon Mesa and immediately north of the White Mountain Apache Indian reservation. The timber on the addition consists of juniper, pinon and yellow pine.
 The enlargement of the Black Mesa national forest has been deemed necessary to protect the irrigated lands in the vicinity of Springersville, Taylor and Snow flake. The timber cover affords protection to part of the water shed of the Little Colorado river. The development of any lands suited to agriculture in the Black Mesa forest will not be hindered in the least, for such land is open to homestead on application to the forest service; as to mineral claims, their location and development are no more restricted than claims on the public domain.

PACIFIC COAST DISASTER

The rules of the road were violated by the officers of the steamer Colum bia, and nearly 100 people are dead as a result.
 There are dark hints, also of life preservers that didn't preserve, possibly made of iron like those on the Slocum. Cork is sold by | weight, and is worth money.
 The officers and crew acted with | heroism, but there were not enough life boats or life rafts Every boat | should carry enough lifeboats and life rafts to take away every soul on board in case of emergency. But though this is often the rule, it is seldom observed
 The brightest gleam is the story of heroism on the part of a Is year old girl, Maybelle Watson, of Berkeley, California. Miss Wat son was in a small boat with 20 others, and when it keeled over she was thrown into the water She had been floating half an hour when young woman appealed to her for help as she was sinking Miss Watson asked others to help, but they refused, and the girl held the unconscious womans head above water for two hours. When help arrived, the brave girl would not allow herself to-be taken up until her companion was helped.
 How very remote such disaster seems if no one near and dear is among the victims; and how vivid if one can picture the dead face of friend amid the froth of the rapacious sea, Fl Paso has names 'among the missing," and the news assumes intense local interest.
 Now there will be another round of investigations and inspections, perhaps a license withdrawn, the recommendations of board, and nothing done. Expenditures quickly, and children will be al- lowed to grow up as in the past, without learning how to float and swim.
 It takes this old world a long round of centuries to learn any, thing-El Paso Herald.

HOLD-UP MAN
SOON CAPTURED
R0bs Chinese Hackman and
Lands Behind the Bars in
Short Order.

Hand over what money you've got
and be damned quick about it," were
the words which startled an old Chi
nese hack driver yesterday, his start
being emphasized as he turned around
and found his fare pointing a revolver
in his face He handed over his money
promptly and then produced his watch,
any old thing to get the gun turned
the other way. The watch was an old
battered affair, and he was told to stick
it back in his pocket and turn the other
way and keep going.
This incident took place yesterday
morning in Kakaako, about half-past
eleven O'Clock. BY four o'clock in the
afternoon the hold-up man and his gun
were in Detective Taylor's hands.
The hackman's story is that he pick
ed up his fare on King street and drove
him to a japanese tenement house on
South street opposite the Honolulu Iron
Works. Here he got his command to
shell out, which he did to the amount
of $1.95, all he had. The man, a Ha-
waiian, then stpeped out of the hack
and entered the tenement. going right
through the building. however, and
dodging off towards the Union Feed
Company's works. The hackman tried
to telephone to the police, but was too
ratified to give his story being told
to drive up and report.
This he did, and as soon as a de-
scription of the man could be obtained

scour the city for him. He was To-

fail to have increasing historical in

it's present Irregularities, it's sunny
waste at one end, its jumbled aspect
as to the location of buildings, and the
general air of shabbiness impaired by

1t can thus be seen that the Irwin
lot as modified by the Robinson plan
will be smaller than according to pres
ent street lines.
AS soon as Judge Cooper received the
Governors cable he went to the Survey
office and secured from Territorial Sur
veyor W. E. Wall the figures as to area
of the lot according to present street
lines and the area as it will be II
modified according to the Robinson
plans, It was found that in either case
the lot is larger than the minimum
required by the United states for
Federal site.
Just what inference is to be drawn
from Governor Carter's cable is not
quite certain. 1t may be that he sees
in this an opportunity to make start
in carrying out the Robinson plan. II
the United States Government will pay
as much for the Irwin lots as modified
by the Robinson plan, as it will pay
for it according to present street lines
the way is made clear for part OF the
Robinson plan at this point, and with
this as a start it may be comparative
ly an easy thing to find means to carry
out the plan further.
On the other hand it has been sug-
gas: ed that inasmuch as W. q. Irwin
accepted the cut in price offered by
Uncle Sam for the lot according to
present street lines, Uncle Sam, who is
a hard bargainer, may be trying TO
get the reduced area at the same price
per square foot and hence the whole
site at lower figure.
The Robinson plan, If carried out,
would add a little to the Richards
street frontage of the Gore the plot
marked &C. on the map of the ROD
1nson plan. This would of itself re-
move the objections the architects
have always made to this plot or a
site for the Federal building, namely
that the Richards street front is not
hundred feet.
Indeed, Territorial Surveyor wall at
about the time Mr.. Taylor was mere
proposed a plan for overcoming TINS
difficulty by shifting the line of Mer-
chant street between Alakea and Rieh-
ards a little makai This would make
she street straighter, would give a |
frontage of 100 feet to the Gore on
Richards street, would not interfere |
with traffic from Merchant street into |
King, and would fit into the Robinson |
plans whenever they should be carried |
out.
THE ROBINSON PLAN.
Just what the Robinson plans for |
Union Square the Irwin property and |
the property up to Punchbowl street, |
are, may best be stated in Mr.. Rob-
inson's own words. The part of his re-
port devoted to this subject is as fol-
lows:
