Secretary Wilson Reseues Young
Man and Woman Who Were
Lost in the Woods.

Tacoma. Wash. Aug. 4.-"One of the
most magnificent forest reserves in the
state is that on the slopes of Mount Ia
coma 1t shall receive the greatest of at
tention from the federal government.
Some changes may be made in the man
ner in which 1t is being cared for, but
these innovations / am not ready TO dis
cuss."
In these statements Secretary of Agri-
culture James Wilson summarized the inn
pressions he derived from a day spent on
horseback, roaming through the national
forest reserve and the national park on
Mount Tacoma. Secretary Wilson and
son, Jasper, who is his private secretary,
left for Portland this morning.
While at Reese's hotel a mountain guide
notified Secretary Wilson and party FRI
day nigh6 about o'clock that a young
man and woman were lost in the woods
Several searching parties were organized
among the tourists at and about the hotel
and all went to rescue the lost ones. 1t
fell to Secretary Wilson to discover the
young couple. They were off the trail
and in the dense woods, about a mile
and a half from the hotel. AS it was
bitter cold and thick fog added to the
blackness Of the night 1t is a question
whether or not the young folks would
have succeeded in surviving the exposure
had not the distinguished cabinet official
led the party to the rescue.

GREEKS IN HOT FIGHT.
Religious Question Starts Battle that
Injuries One.
Especial to The HeraldD

Ely New, Aug. A bloody battle
took place last Thursday night between
Peter PopOvich. A Greek Catholic. and
Mike ZalOvich. a Roman Catholic. in
which the latter was badly wounded. The
trouble was the result of religious ar
gument. Thursday was St. Eliza's day
in the Greek church, and because ZaiO-
vich had worked during the day PopOvich
deemed it an insult to his religion and
attempted to butcher ZalOViCh.
The two met in 3 soloOn at ReipetOwn
and the Greek drew a long knife and
when his opponent said he had the right
to work on St. Eliza's day, because he
was a Roman Catholic. the other Catho-
lie began operations. He cut ZalOVich IN
der the arm, injuring one of the nerves
and nearly severing an artery.
A complaint was sworn to by the in
jured man charging the other with assault
with intent to commit murder The Off
GERS arrived upon the scene too late, how
ever, as Popovich had drawn his time
check and disappeared. 1t is thought he
has left the country and il is doubtful
IL he viii be apprehended.

CRASSHOPPERS WITH NEW MACHINE

bushels of hOppers. A run was made on
Bishop w B. Prestons farm last even
ing and in three hours ten bushels OF
hoppers were gathered and destroyed.
The machine is composed of a light
wire-netted box in front of which is A
high flare of tin, which slopes back to
this netted box The machine is about
sixteen or eighteen feet wide and horses
are hitched at both ends. A field Of
lucern or hay IS cut. but three or four
strips a rod wide are left uncut and
the grasshoppers get into this grass as
soon as the other falls. Then the ma
chine is driven down these strips As the
hoppers jump or fly upward they en-
counter the smooth tin flare and slide
back into the netted box. From here
they are taken and put in sacks and
drowned. The farmers pronounce the
machine a great success.

Washington. Aug. 4-Significant revela-
tons are made public today in q report
submitted to President Roosevelt by Her
bert Knox Smith. commissioner Of cor
poratioHs. concerning the operations of
the Standard Oil company.
In a previous report the means and
methods of the Standard were explained.
The present report sets forth the results
Of these methods and the effect they
have had on the consumer of oil and
on the profits OF the Standard Oil com
pany.
Used Its Power to Raise Prices.
Commissioner Smith says:
The Standard Oil company is response
bic for the course of prices Of petroleum
and its products during the last twenty
five years. The Standard has consistently
used its power to raise the price of oil
during the last ten Years. not only absO-
Iutely but also relatively. TO the cost of
crude oil
The Standard has claimed that it has
reduced the price Of OIL that it has been
q benefit to the consumer. and that only
a great combination like the Standard
could have furnished oil al the prices
that have prevailed.
Claims of Company False.
Each one of these claims says Com
missioner Smith. is disproved by this
report"
The increase in annual profits of the
Standard Oil company from 1896 to 1904
was over s27.OG0090. The report says:
The total dividends paid by the Stand
ara from 1882 TO 1896 were SOL. ,124 sv
eraging thus 2415 per cent per year The
dividends, however. We're much less than
the total earnings. It is substantially GER
