President Creates Reserves by
Wholesale Before Too Late. !
new RESERVES in NORTHWEST
Adds Nearly 5000, 900 Acres to Ma
tionaI Forests of Oregon, WASH
Ington and Idaho.

Washington, March g. Prior to
signing the agricultural bill, which
contains Senator Fulton's amendment
prohi biting the creation of forest re-
serves in the Northwestern states ex-
cept by the authority of congress, the
president yesterday issued a proclama-
ton creating 80 forest reserves in the
six states affected by the Fulton amend
ment. His proclamations add 4,051,-
900 acres to the reserve area of Oregon,
4,246,O 900 acres in Washington and
$50, 1000 acres in Idaho.
The creation of these reserves prob
ably marks the end Of reserve extension
in the Northwest for many years to
come, for the additions now include
most of the desirable timber land of all
six states, so far as known to the Forest
service. Being hastily made in order
to circumvent the restrictions of the
Fulton amendment, the reserves are
loosely created and no doubt contain
much land that will be found unsuited
to forestry purposes and which will ul-
timately be restored to entry.

TIED UP BY LEGAL POINTS.
Iroquois Theater Trial Blocked From
Reaching Jury.

Danville, ILL.,, March S.-The trial Of
Will J. Davis, charged with man.
slaughter on account of the fire in the
Iroquois theater in Chicago in 1908, is
now at standstill so far as evidence is
concerned and promises to be tied up
in the courts indefinitely on legal
points.
When these points have been passed
to the court, more of vital Importance
will be submitted. The defense offers
to admit the facts. The prosecution
denies its right to do so.
Counsel representing the state said it
would be shown that the theater was
incomplete when opened and unfnish-
ed at the time of the fire, and that Mr..
Davis knowingly violated the ordinance
relating to safety in public playhouses.
The defense moved that the prosecu-
tiOn be required to introduce the ordi-
snca IN question: the thsary beiRg
that, should the court hold the olSli-
nance invalid, there would Lave been
no law for Davis to violate.
The court set Friday for hearing the
argument.

HITS ROCK Off EUREKA.
Steamer Oakland Another Victim to
Humboldt Bar.

Eureka, Call, March s. Humboldt
bar claimed another victim today when
the steamer Oakland, in an attempt to
reach the inside entrance, ran on the
rneks Of the south ietty, For almost
an hour the Oakland remained on the
rocks, and the bar tug Ranger was cali
ed to her assistance by the lifesaving
crew.
When the tug reached the Oakland,
Captain Krager, Of the Oakland, re-
fused aid. A big wave washed the
Oakland from her perilous position,
but also tore off her rudder. For sew
eral hours she drifted helplessly and
periously near the rocks. The lifeboat,
commanded by Captain Hennig, put
out.
At this time the Oakland displayed
distress signals and once more the tug
Ranger went to her assistance, towing
her this time into the bay, where she
was beached in badly leaking condi-
ton. There are several large holes in
her stern.
The Oakland went on the rocks
about l 900 feet from the wrecked Co
roma. Several attempts have been
made to reach the Corona by the Hum
boldt bay lifesaving station, but all
were futile. One trip the lifeboat
barely escaped destruction on the
rocks on the north jetty.

DAKOTA ON ROCKS.
Big Hill Liner Strikes in Bay of Toxic
and May be Lost.

Yokohoma, March 5. = The Great
Northern steamship Dakota went
ashore in the bay of Toxic last night.
All passengers are safe and the agents
Of the vessel are hopeful of saving her.
The Dakota struck on a rock off Shi-
rahama, village between Molina and
Sunosaki, shortly after o'clock. 1t
is thought that the Sunosaki light was
mistaken for the Jogashima light. The
vessel sustained much damage and
sprung a heavy leak.
Agents of the steamship, who were
sent to Omimaru TO arrange for the
salvage, are returning this afternoon
with passengers and mails and details
of the accident
The steamer Dakota is making water
freely and it is feared that the floating
will be difficult.

San Salvador March 5.-A strong

ed Nicaragua through the department
of Ocotal. The headquarters of the
Honduran army is established at Pes
pire. President Bonilla is in Chilateca
directing affairs there generally. He
is we'll satisfied with the discipline and
the spirit of the troops. Chilateca, as
at present fortified, is deemed impieg-
nable. The general opinion here is
that the Honduran forces will eventual

guam government.

RAILWAYS GIVE AID,
Colonist Rates Promote the UpbuiId-
ing of Northwestern States.

Low one-way colonist rates to the
Northwest are helping largely in set
tling up the states of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho. These reduced fares
are perhaps the greatest factor in in
ducing immigration outside Of the pub
licity work of the various chambers of
commerce of these states. The rail-
roads are working hand in hand with
the commercial bodies everywhere in
the Pacific Northwest to swell the num-
Der of settlers in this territory
Colonist rates are not new in Western
railroading, but at no time previously
have they been so effective in diverting
travel this way as at present and the
biggest colonist movement in the his
tory of the Pacific Northwest is predict
ed for the four spring and fall months
of 1907 when the reduced one-way fares
are in effect.
The growth of the westward move
ment is due to the better advertising
and exploitation methods of commercial
bodies and railroads and to the growing
density of population in the East, where
many are able to find more congenial
surroundings by moving away to part
of the country where there is more ell
bow room, where climate is more equa-
BILE the year around and where land is
cheaper and less worn by repeated crop
ping for years.
These conditions contribute to the
constant "trek" westward which is q
significant movement in the history of
the American continent and which
dates from the days of the California
argonauts of 40. By prairie schooner
and by ship the pioneers came to settle
a vast wilderness. Since the transcon-
tinental railroads have been built, the
second generation has found an easier
mode of seeking out the great West but
the movement has by no means ended
and is on in greater volume than ever
before.
