KO0NTz MAKES
GIFT Of $4,000
ECHO PIONEER HELPS
SPOKANE HOSPITAL
MIR. and Mrs. j. ii. Koontz, Who Gave
Pendieton Academy $4,000 Sixteen
Months Ago, Make a Donation Of
$4,000 to the Deaconess Hospital
at Spokane-Largest Donation Re-
ceived by the Spokane Institution
and Closes Campaign for Funds.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. 4. Koontz, the well
known pioneers of Echo, have just
made a cash donation of $4,000 to
the Deaconess hospital of Spokane,
a new hospital being completed by
the NJ. E. church. Rev. w. E. Arm
field, secretary for the hospital, and
Rev. U. F. Hawks, president of the
hospital association, passed through
Pendleton Saturday evening, bearing
to Spokane Mr.. Koontz' check for
his munificent gift.
The donation is made in the form
of an annuity and interest will be re-
turned to Mr.. and Mrs. Koontz. an
nually until their deaths, when the
donation will become the absolute
property of the hospital association.
This is the largest donation receiv-
ed by the hospital and practically
closes its campaign for funds.
Sixteen months ago Mr.. and Mrs.
koontz gave $4,000 to Pendleton
academy in this city, with which
koontz hall, the girls dormitory, was
purchased and equipped.
This was their first large gift and
was the foundation for a large fund
afterward raised in this city, contin-
gent on gift of $4,000 from w. w.
Brown of Paulina, Crook county, with
which the boys dormitory of the
academy is now being erected.

mense reservation for opening has
progressed far enough so that the
work is ready for the appraisement
moard and instructions were given
that the Indians be notified to select
the two members of the commission
to which under the treaty they are
entitled.
Messengers and riders were at once
dispatched to all parts OF the reserva-
ton and the Indians will be assembled
in council next week to make their
selection of the men who will repre-
sent them on the board.
The treaty and the act OF congress
the opening of the reserve
provides that the appraisement board
shall consist OF five members; OF these
the Indians have two. two are chosen
from citizens of Montana and the fifth
is to be a representative of the de-
partment at Washington.
The council of the Indians will as
semble at the agency some time next
week and there will be an important
pow-wow. as the composition of this
board is Of great importance to the In
dians. The council will last for some
days, according to the indications as
the Indians are always deliberate in
these matters and this is more than or
dinarily important.
The land Is extremely fertile and
the opening next year will attract
thousands.

WORK OF FOREST RESERVE.
Reserves Now Number $50 With To-
tai Area of 5000, 900 Acres.

Within the last nine years $500
square miles OF national forest have
been created under the work of the
forestry department of the govern
ment, says a forestry bulletin. The
administration has made this one of
the features of its policy with the
avowed intention of saving the forests
from the shameful waste of the lum-
bermen and conserving not only the
forests, but the water supply held in
natures reservoirs.
The national forests of the United
States now number $50 and their total
area is l43,000,0 900 acres and would
form a strip 20 or so miles wide If
stretched from coast to coast The
forest service is conducting a cam
paign of education to awaken the peo-
PIE to the necessity of forest preser-
vation that is meeting with excellent
results.
The best indication of this is the
fact that the Atlantic states are being
aroused to action and are looking for
ward to some additional legislation
next congress that will do something
for the Appalachian forests. All the
present forests lie west of the Missis-
sirpi river. There is not an area Of
national forest east of the Mississippi
and the inhabitants of that denuded
section are becoming seriously con-
cerned.
Millowners in Connecticut and
other manufacturing states feel the
effects of the diminution OF water
supply even more than do the farm
ers. A general movement is on foot
to have the next congress create both
the White mountain and the Appa-
lachian reserve.
Congress then is likely to be visited
by something of paradox when
members of the west will appear on
the floor fighting the policy of nation
al forests and members from the east
will appear to ask for their creation
and maintenance. But when the
campaign of education shall have
completed its task all sections OF the
government will be found firm in the
faith of the forest reserve policy.

week, was the announcement made
last evening by District Attorney j,
II. McNary and Sheriff w. ]. Culver.
The district attorney and sheriff
held a conference yesterday when it
was decided that no gambling games
of any kind would be permitted eth
er In the city or on the fair grounds.
Any attempt to sell pools on the
races or operate games OF chance of
any kind or nature will result in
prompt arrests.
In an interview last evening Dis
trict Attorney McNary said:
Responding to the will of large

Sheriff Culver and l have decided to
keep the lid ON tight and II any per-
sons attempt to run a game of chance
upon the streets or in any building
in the city, or at the state fair
grounds, we will promptly take them
into custody and prosecute them to
the fullest extent of the law. We
will not tolerate pool selling or gam
bling games of any kind. Several
street fakirs have arrived in the city
and II any of them attempt to ope-
rate we will Immediately take action"
The sheriff's force will keep a close
watch for violators of the gambling
law, but since the officers are de-
termined in the position which they
have taken in the matter, It is not
believed that any one will attempt to
operate games.

FIGHT IN MERCHANTS CAFE.
License of Main Street Saloon May
Revoked by Council.

Three on one" has generally been
regarded as no fun and 1t was not
for a little Swede who met with trou-
BILE in the Merchants Cafe saloon Sat-
urday afternoon.
Just what the cause of the trou-
BILE seems not to be known. but the
outcome was very discreditable to C..
Bonetti, the proprietor, and his bar
tenders. In fact the incident has re-
Elected upon the saloon with the new
front to such an extent that many
have declared that the license
should be revoked.
The Swede in question is a small
man and we'll advanced in years. He
was drunk In the saloon Saturday and
aroused the ire OF Mr.. Bonetti and
his two bartenders. Those who saw
the party after they reached the side
walk say that the Swede's hands
were held by Bonetti while the bar
tender struck him brutally in the
face.
Immediately after the fight the
bartender was placed under arrest,
but was released upon $40 bail sup
piled by his employer. This morn
ing the miXologist did not appear in
police court and the amount was for
feited. The Swede had also been TAX
en- into custody, but he was released
this morning In view of the fact that
his face bore the markes of consld-
cradle punishment.

MRS. WARNER MAY BE TRIED.
Weston Will Forging Case VIII Prob
ably Be Heard Again.

There is a possibility that Mrs.
Mabel Warner may be again placed
on trial for forging a will at the pres
ent session OF court. This morning
Col. Raley, one OF the attorneys for
the defense asked to have the case
reinstated.
1t had previously been postponed
until the nSSt term, but apparently
the defense is now desirous of having
it fought out again this fall. Colonel
Raley merely asked to have the case
reinstated and said that his colleague,
Mr.. Winter, would then take the mat
ter up.
AS attorney for the state in the
case, Judge Fee declared that in his
judgment it would be impossible to
try the case this term.
An answer was filed this morning

at Hermiston for that purpose.

business men and residents of the
