An addition has been made to the for
est reserves in the island Of Maui by
providing that the government Land
within the limits Of these reservations
at present leased to private. parties shall
automatically, at the expiration OF the
present leases, become part of the for
est reserves. The extent Of the addi'
tions is about $4,000 acres.
In Hawaii even private lands in forest
are sometimes administered by the Ter
ritorial Board Of Agriculture and For
estry. Some Of the lessees OF public
land within the Koolau Reserve, one OF
those just mentioned, turned over to
the Board for administration both theii
leased lands and their private lands In
the same reserve, together amounting
to 1000 acres.

HAS HAPPY ENDING.
Objections Of +. A, Spencer Of Tacoma
Are Fruitless.

OLYMPIA, Sept, Soy--While the unrc'
lenting father stormed, the bride plead

tion OF never giving up, the marital
troubles OF John Petticrew and his pret-
ty l6-year. old bride came to an end
today, as all good romances should
with bridal tour and happy ever
after prospect.
Whether the brides picture is to be
turned to the wall in the home OF her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs, A. Il, Spencer
OF the Judson house, 9a7 d street
Tacoma. depends upon how long her
fathers anger continues. The old gentle
man was not in an enviable frame .,
mind when he followed the bridal par
tr out OF Olympia ON u latter train
but after Investigating the circum'
stances OF his daughters marriage to
Pettierew in this city Monday. and find
ing they had been legally united save
for the question of the girls age. he
consented to make NO further objection
and the interrupted wedding journey
was continued, still without the parental
blessing, but happy one, just the same
Petticrew. who is an industrious
young carpenter may return here with
his bride to make his future home.
In an interview today, while negotia'
tions were in progress, he announced
his firm intention OF never giving up
his bride. He declared that his name
is Petticrew and that he is relative

vania State Federation of Liquor Deal

when in the last legislature only fou'
votes were needed to put a local option
bill on the house calendar.
Charles s. Black, president Of the
Western Pennsylvania Liquor Associa-

arouse interest in this state.

TAKE TO THE WATER"

The essence of Mr.. Fox's talk, here,
recently, was, that to escape the fast
increasing burdens Of railroad transpor-
tation, the people must make more and
better use Of the waterways Of the ma
tion; every section that possesses an
available water route must qualify it
for service and then use it, at it's lower
rate Of cost. until the railway situation
shall have cleared itself of the snarls
and antiquities and infrmities, incident
to its long lease of unlicensed power,
wherewith it has wrought its own defeat
in the eyes of the people and the law.
Astoria is particularly fortunate in
being situated on water level grade

"A WORD TO THE WISE"

The Morning Astorian tries to be, anC
is, very largely, to its own city and
county, all that the Oregonian Is tc
Portland and Multnomah county. 1t en-
deavors to, and does, as largely and
truly as it may, reflect and represent
the concensus of public reason and spirit
here upon all the leading topics OF the
day as they are expressed by the people.
All this the Oregonian denies, simply
because the Astorians and ClatsOpians
do not think. speak and act as it would
have them upon certain matters in which
it is deeply interested.
We are not mincing matters with the
Oregonian. nor any other paper, nor with
any man, nor set of men. If We agree
with them and the weight OF agreement
is on the public tongue, we say 50
gladly and frankly and promptly; but if
we realize that the Oegonian is wrong
and inquiry hereabout confirms the de-
duction, we simply 60 ahead and fight,
that is all there is to it.
That the Oregonian does not like our
style of fighting does not make the
slightest difference to us. There are peo-
pie in good old Oregon who do like the
fighting methods of the Oregonan, and
many bitter protest has been sent up
to that great paper, through its half
century of existance but it has made no
difference to the 0regonian, either. 1t
goes right on with its crusades and wins
many of them upon the sheer plane OF
vitrolic and amazing force as a
acrusher."
The Oregonian wastes its breath when
it tells the people here that it, or its
city, is friendly to Astoria. Years OF
thwarting. denial, abuse, eircumven-
tion, discrimination, directed toward this
place and made tellingly successful by
reason of tine Oregonian's power, is an
old story at this end of the river, and
Astorians are not deceived by any sort
of explanation it offers.
There are not more than half dozen
citizens OF this city and county who
openly commend the Port of Columbia
law and only one that ever gave an
intelligent idea of his conclusions and
why he held them. The rest of the peo-
pie, headed by the county court and
every attorney at the Clatsop bar, were
unified, instantly and unanimously,
against the unjust thing.
As to the graft element OF the motor
ious measure, we reiterate that there
was such report and that it dealt with
certain men, in certain sums, and was
common talk at Salem and in this city,
and no bones were made about it what
ever; and we are the more convinced of
the actual truth Of the rtlmor since the
Oregonian, of yesterday, was at such
pains to do the dignifed stunt in dero-
cation of orr allusion to it. The gaff
evidently struck and sunk and hurt. We
would rather say pleasant, kindly things
of the Oregonian, because there is so
much Of that sort Of thing that might
be said of it, in hundred ways; but
we are sticking to our text just so long
as it tries to cram that Port of Colum.
bia law down the Clatsop throat and
will pledge ourselves never to exceed, by
single expression, the public estimate
of the bill here. To date we have but
family urged the popular dislike of the
measure.
"a word to the wise" ought to be suf-
fcient. Perhaps it will be!
