Uncle Sam Loses Best Men.

Washington, May 2.-The constant
draft on the economic force" of the
geological survey made by the large
mining organizations, which offer the
government experts much larger salar-
les than they get from the government,
is seriously imparing the efficiency of
that branch of the service, says report
on the investigation Of metalliferous
ores in 1906. The report adds: cit
is only by years of practical experience
in the field that the geologist, however
excellent his preliminary training, be-
comes competent to carry on independ-
ent work in investigating mining dis
trict, and the loss of trained men in
this work is irreparable.'

WANT COAL SECURED.
Railroads Dread Another Famine and
Want Dealers to Stock Up.

want Dealers TO STOCK Up.
Chicago, May 1.-The traffic and
operating departments of the Hartman
and Hill lines have united in strenu-
Gus effort to prevent recurrence of a
coal famine next winter in the West
and Northwest. Orders have been is-
sued by the highest officials of the vari-
Gus roads and have the sanction Of E..
Fl. Hartman and James j. Hill, re-
quiring all of the officials to make every
effort to induce the coal dealers to lay
in their winters supply in the summer
months.
The officials of the railroad dread an
other such coal famine as occurred last
winter, when they were blamed for the
suffering and destitution which reigned
in the West and Northwest for many
weeks. At that time the Interstate
Commerce commission took the prob
lem in hand and issued orders which
required the Hill roads to discontinue
all other traffic until they succeeded in
getting coal to the suffering people
along their lines. This proved an ex-
pensive operation and the railroads do
not want recurrence.
Accordingly personal canvas is be-
ing made in all the cities, and coal
dealers are being personally urged to CO.
operate with the railroads in placing
the western country beyond the posi-
bility of another coal famine.

ANOTHER GRAFT EXPOSED.
San Francisco Public Worke Official
in Tolls Of Heney.


San Francisco, May, 3.-The inquiry
before the grand jury today developed
the fact that a gigantic graft has been
carried on by President George Duffey,
of the board of public works. Duffey's
graft was done through the rental of
teams for the use of the city. In some
cases the expenditure for a team and
driver went as high as $50 day.
Duffey was formerly member CT the
board of supervisors and was one of the
most active bribetakers of that aggrega-
ton. 1t is charged against Duffey that
he has continued to graft in the face of
the grand jury's investigation.
Governor Gillette today addressed
letter to Andrew Wilson, member OF
the state railroad commission, demand
ing that he resign at once. Wilson was
formerly a member of the board Of su-
pervisors, but was elected railroad COM
missioner last November. Wilson's
confession, as made to the grand jury,
was placed in the hands of the COVER
nor, and formed the basis of his action
Of today. Wilson has refused to resign.

BOTH SIDES READY.
All Preparations Complete for Hay
wood Trial at Boise.

Woou Iriai al BOISE.
Boise, Ida, May 3.-Counsel for
prosecution and defense in the Steu-
nenberg murder case have settled down
to their final preparatory work, and
there is every reason for believing that
the trial of William Haywood, first Of
the accused men, will be commenced
on Thursday next. Various reports as
to moves tending to further delay the
trial are in circulation, but the attitude
of both sides indicates that they are
ready for trial.
The only preliminary proceeding
pending is motion by the defense for
a bill of particulars Of the evidence by
which the state hopes to show that
Haywood conspired to the murder OF
Governor steunenberg. This motion,
which is designed to secure disclosure
of the hand Of the state, will be argued
tefoIe Judge Wood on Monday next.
This is not regarded as likely to delay
the trial. The Idaho code and practice,
modelled closely upon those of Califor-
mia, make no provision for bills OF par
ticulars in criminal cases, and in the
only precedent recorded in the Idaho
reports the court denied the applica-
tion, holding that the power to require
require the furnishing CT bills CT par
ticulars in general was discretionary
with the court. 1t is asserted that no
right of appeal goes with such a mo-
tion and neither eide seems to regard
the matter seriously.

COMPLAIN OF BAD TREATMENT
Northern Lumbermen Want Portland
Gateway Opened.


Washington, May 2.-Rivalry be-
tween the Hill and Hartman railroad
lines in the Northwest has eliminated
in the presentation of the matter to the
Interstate Commerce commission. For
several months lumber dealers and
manufacturers in Washington, particu-
larly in the Puget sound territory, gen.
erally have complained informally to
the commission that owing to the re-
fusal OF the Hill and Hartman lines to
make them through rates and joint
rates they were unable to get their pro-
ducts shipped to points east of the Cas-
cade mountains.
Finally it was suggested that they
institute proceedings under the new
rate law to compel the railroads to
make such through rates an joint rates.
In compliance with the suggestion the
Pacific Coast Lumber Manufacturers
association, the Southwestern Washing
ton Lumber association and the Shingle
Mills bureau today filed complaint
with the commission against the North
ern Pacific, the Great Northern, the
Southern Pacific. the Oregon Short
Line and Is other roads, requesting the
commission to issue orders providing
that the railroads shall make through
and Joint rates on lumber products from
points in Washington via Portland,
Or, to points east Of the Cascade
mountains.

AROUND WASHINGTON, D. G..
STATE CAN SELECT LANDS.
Interior Department Sends Out New
Regulations to Registrars.

Regulations to Registrars.
Washington, April 3O.-The commits
sioner of the general land Office has is.
sued instructions to registrars of local
land Offices concerning the selection OF
lands by states and territories under
grants for educational and other pur-
poses, under regulations approved by
the secretary Of the interior last We'd
nesday.
Under the new regulations the states
Will be permitted to make indemnity
school land selections in lieu of frac-
tional portions of legal subdivisions,
which heretofore has been prohibited, ,
and notice of all selections made by the
state is required to be published in a
newspaper of general circulation in the
county where the lands selected are
situated. A few other notifications
are made, designed to facilitate the se-
lection of lands by the state officers.
Instructions also have been issued to
local land Offices regarding the disposi-
ton of lands withdrawn from coal en-.
tries, both as to lands known to lie
within a known coal field and the
lands outside of such fields. The land
offices will be furnished with geological
survey township maps, showing known
coal fields, and entries of such lands
will be reserved.
Lands heretofore withdrawn from
entry and not released will be consid-
cred az coal lands. Coal filings made
within go days prior to withdrawal
from coal entry may be completed
within the time prescribed by the stat
utes, less the time from date of such
Withdrawals to date of special written
notice of filing Of maps and lists in the
local land offices. Lands not coal lands
may be entered under any of the public
land laws applicable to the particular
tract.

REVOLT BREAKS OUT.
Montenegrins Openly Rebel Against
Military Rule.

Vienna, April 30.-Dispatches re-
ceived tonight report an outbreak of a
revolt and grave political crisis in Mon
tenegro, Military government has been
proclaimed, and Premier Tomanovics
has rendered the resignation of the cab
met, which Prince Nicholas has refused
to accept.
Armed bands are reported to be
marching on Cettinje. Serious street
fights have occurred at Podoritza, 3S
miles north of Soutari and having a
population of about 1000.
The trouble in Montenegro has arisen
because of the campaign the cabinet
has been inaugurating against the Rad
ical party. The government is accused
of instigating the destruction of the
principal offices of the two Radical
pa pers at Nikeces, which had attacked
the government and Prince Nicholas.
This action has aroused CONSERVATION.

TO CALL HENEY
TO WASHINGTON
Puget Sound Land Fraud Cases Said
to SurpaSS Oregon's.
Men Who Are Now High in Public
Confidence Said to Be Implicated
Special Agent Of Government
Sent to Make Investigation and
Gather Facts.

Seattle, May 2.-Six secret service
operatives are working in Western
Washington unearthing series of land
frauds that are declared to be more
astounding in their far reaching char.
-acter than the discoveries made in Ore
gon or California. A secret service
operative high in the confidence OF
President Roosevelt has just been sent
to this coast to take charge Of the work
and to assemble the evidence that has
been accumulated for presentation to
special officers Of the department of
Justice.
1t was declared today by high gov
ernment authority that when all the
timber fraud evidence had been assem-
bed Francis j. Heney will be asked to
come here and duplicate his success in
-convicting the land thieves Of Oregon
1t is recognized that his San Francisco
work will occupy several weeks further
time, but the work in Western Wash
ington cannot be completed before that
time.
Names that are being whispered in
secret service circles indicate that when
the net is spread it Will bring in some
meD now high in the confidence Of the
public. Evidence is declared to be
gathered that proves conclusively the
completely Of these men, but some of
the cases are go old that they may be
able to hide behind the statute Of limi-
tations. But even if this is done, the
government operatives will let the story
become known in some manner.
There are few comparatively unim-
portant timber cases ready for trial
now, but these merely lift the cover off
the land fraud situation in Washing
ton. Following close upon the heels of
these earlier hearings will come the
prosecutions that reveal the scope Of
past timber operations.
