FOREST LANDS RELEASED.
Proposed Addition to Priest River
Reserve Turned Back.

Reserve 1uIucu OdCAs
Forester Pinchot Of Washington,
d. c., has announced the restoration
to settlement of 127,04O acres in
Bonner county, Idaho, which had
been temporarily Withdrawn as part
OF the Priest river national forest re-
serve. The lands lie in a strip SO
miles long, adjacent to the east bound
ry of the Priest river forest reserve.
The reason for restoration is the fact
that the land is occupied So extensive
ly as to render it impossible to ad-
minister the small and widely
separated tracts which would remain
In the forest.
All lands temporarily withdrawn
for the national forest reserve that
are not now within the boundaries ol
that portion which is permanent have
also been recommended for release
Consequently no lands 10 noftherr

under Withdrawal. Forester Pincho
also announces the restoration 0

Mongolian Competition.

Mr.. Harris Weinstock has a per
in the Review of Reviews, the bur-
den of which is an argument to show
that there is no menace to the Amer
ican skilled laborer in the growing
expertness of Japanese labor and
their use of modern labor saving
machinery. The chief point he
makes, is that our trade with Japan
is increasing and that year by year
the Japanese are spending a larger
and larger proportion of money in
purchases from this country than
formerly, that is in 1876, for every
dollars worth of goods we bought Of
Japan, she bought from us eight
cents worth, while in in 1905, for
every dollar worth that we bought,
she in return, bought "a cents worth.
There is not much argument or
much sense in that. In 1905 Japan
bought war supplies where she could
and her imports were no test of ordi-
nary commercial conditions. The
writer in the Review thinks there is
more danger from China than from
Japan, that is true. When China is
fully prepared under Japanese direc-
ton, and through the medium o
Japanese ships, she can lay down il
American ports, unless prohibited
by tariff laws, the ordinary manufac
tured goods Of commerce at fifty pc
cent less money than such goods ca,
be prepared in this country ant
make handsome profit. This fac
is generally accepted and must be
because the proof behind the state
ment is absolute.

ROOSEVELT AND HARTMAN.
Controversy May Have Much Po-
litical Significance.

Much feeling has been aroused BY
the latest personal controversy Id
which President Roosevelt has be-
come involved. Last week a letter
was published purporting to have
been written by Z. II. Hartman. the
great railroad magnate, to Sidney
Webster Of New York 10 the latter
part OF December, 1905. In this
letter the statement is made that at
the request OF President Rodsetelti
he, Hartman, assisted In raising &
fund OF $3.50, 900 to be used 10 carry
ing New York for the Republican
party at the election which was then
approaching. President Roosevelt at
once denounced this statement, char
acterizing it as a deliberate and
willful untruth, by right 1t should be
characterized by an even shorter and
more ugly word. never requested
! Mr.. Hartman to raise dollar for
the presidential campaign of 1904"
The president also published letters
showing his side Of the matter, and
when his attention was called thereto;
Hartman refused to make any ad-
ditional statement, saying he had
said enough.
| There Is strong belief that this cbns
troversy is but forerunner Of .
gathering storm. The railroads and
other interests are said to be prepar-
ing to launch vigorous fight against
the president to discredit him With
the people and ultimately, II possible,
defeat him and his policies In the
next campaign. Roosevelt'S stand
for railroad regulation, ETC., has
aroused their enmity and they are de-
termined on revenge.
The letter which precipitated the
unpleasant controversy between the
president and Hartman, is claimed
to have been sold to newspaper by u
stenographer. The stenographer has
been placed under arrest:

BIG POLITICAL SCHEME.
Plot Said to be on Foot to Defeat
the President.

A Washington, d. c., report of
April 4. says: 1t was said on author
ity at the White House today that
there is ample evidence at hand for
the claim that the president holds
that there is movement afoot to de-
feat his policies In the next congress
and in the next convention. 1t is de-
clared that the Hearst, Hartman,
Rockefeller combination has already
fund of SIS, 200, 900 with which to
carry on its campaign in opposition
to the president. 1t was further
authoritatively said:
"They are gathering up the loose
ends, but the movement will natten
out. 1t is apparent in Ohio and
Pennsylvania; in fact it extends
across the entire country. The
scheme was thoroughly divulged at a
recent dinner and reached the Waite
House through a friend of the presi.
dent. The scheme OF the people
behind the movement is to buy news
papers. puollc men and others who
may assist the opponents Of the presl.
dent in their work"
II was also stated authoritativeiy at
the White House today that part Of
the plan to encompass the defeat of
the presidents policy is The election
Of state delegations to the national
convention from those states known
to favor the president, these delegates
to be instructed for President Roose-
velt Notwithstanding knowledge in
advance that the president would no,
be candidate for nomination, then
according to the statement made, up.
On the president declining to be q
candidate for denomination as hi
has said he would decline, the dele
gates are to consider themselves fret
and are to switch over to some
! opponent Of the president and thu
policies for which he. is standing.
The secret Of the alleged combi
nation, 1T was stated, at the White
J House just leaked out at dinner il
this city attended by a number o
anti Roosevelt Republicans fev
weeks ago. A friend Of Presid1n
| Roosevelt, who was present at tn
dinner, carried the news to the Whit
House.

FOR BRICK S(HOOLAOUSE
Rathdrum to Have New
$I2, 900 Structure.
SCHOOL BOARD HAS DECIDED
Election to Vote on Bonds to be
Held April 20.

The Rathdrum school board met
Thursday evening, April 4, and voted
to erect new school building and
install plants for heating the new
and and old buildings With steam at
at total cost Of $l2, 900. The new
building is to be Of brick. Architect
Rand Of Spokane was present and
was employed to draw the plans and
get out the specifications.
The new building is to be erected
100 feet northeast Of the present
school house. The plans, as practi-
cally decided upon, provide for q
structure of two stories and a base
ment, the Dimensions as to breadth
and length to be about 81 feet by "A
feet, outside measurements.
The basement will consist of two
rooms besides the boiler room and
boys toilet. The first floor will be
divided into two large recitation
rooms and an Office besides girls
toilet and cloak rooms. The second
floor will be left vacant for the
present. 1t will probably be fitted
up for gymnasium until such time
as it is required for school purposes.
The eight rooms In the present
building have been crowded for some
time, and new building has become
necessary for next year, partly owing
to the present congestion in some OF
the rooms and partly to the desire
and need OF establishing an eleventh
grade for the high school. A twelfth
grade is also contemplated for nex'
year. Eight teachers are employed
at present; ten will be employed mex
year, the contracts to be signed up II
! a short time. The high school viii
! occupy the new building.
| The new building is to be complet
ed in time for use at the beginning 0
school in September next; work on i
will probably begin at once after tn
bond election which will be held Apr
20.

Drowned in the Lake.

Two lives were lost in Lake Occur
d,Alene Sunday. William ChrisloD-
sen, cook in cafe, James Collins, a
bartender, and J. r. Murray, stone
mason, started out for a row In a
small boat with only one pair of oars.
Christensen was rowing and Murray
offered to relieve him. While making
the change Murray stepped on the
side of the boat capsizing it. Murray
was the only one of the trio wno
could swim and he escaped. 1t is
not thought that the bodies OF the
two men drowned will ever be re-
covered as it is a known fact that the
lake never gives up its dead.

GARRETT GETS 30 YEARS,
Murder in Second Degree, the
Jury's Verdict.

T.
Murder in Second Degree, the
Jury's Verdict.
Lee Garrett, found guilty Of
murder in the second degree, was
sentenced Wednesday morning at
10 O'clock by Judge Wood Of the
district court to a term Of thirty
years in the state penitentiary.
At 3:45 Saturday afternoon the
jury returned verdict finding Garrett
guilty of murder in the second degree.
The prisoner hid his face while the
verdict was read. The law fixes the
term of sentence at the discretion Of
the court the minimum penalty being
10 years and the maximum, life inn
prisOnment.
Garrett was charged with the MUIR
der Of Malcolm Coombs in the Spo-
kane Bar saloon in Occur d'Alene last
November. The taking Of testimony
was concluded on Friday when the
defendent testified that he killed
Coombs in self defense. The version
of the affair as indicated by the wit
nesses for the state was that Garrett
was drinking and was in quarrel
some mood, that Coombs followed
him outside where Garrett stabbed
Coombs with knife, that, thereup0n.
Coombs rushed back into the saloon,
seized a stove poker and dealt Garrett
a blow over the head which felled
him senseless, Coombs then dropping
lifeless from the knife thrust in the
heart. This was practically the test
imony of Jack Carlyle, the bartender,
and it was substantially corroborated
by other witnesses, among them John
Reeder, Jack Mannering. Carl KTOnb-
land, Thomas McCullon and j. Borst.
Night Watchman Kronbland testified
to taking Garrett in custody while he
had in his possession sharp knife.
Doctors J. G. Dwyer, Max Dorland
and y. w. Craik, who held the au-
tOpsy, also testified. Two witnesses
testified that blood appeared upon
the clothing Of Coombs when he re.
turned to the saloon.
When Garrett was called to the
stand Friday afternoon he claimed ht
had been quarreling with an ole
rancher when interfered with b.
Coombs. They retired outside, wher
he got the better Of Coombs, who raj

LOST LIFE IN FIRE
Emanuel Lee Burns Himself
and His Prison.
WAS SUCKER LAKE RANCHER
Had Been Jailed Saturday Night
for Bad Conduct.


Burned beyond recognition the
remains of Emanuel Lee, a French
rancher of Sucker lake, were taken
from the Rathdrum village Jail at
two o'clock after midnight Sunday,
April 6. Lee had been placed in
the Jail for drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct and it is believed
that he set fire to his cell, burning
himself to death and nearly caus-
ing the destruction of his prison as
we'll as giving a part Of the town a
bad fire scare.
Lee was in town from Sucker
lake during Saturday evening and
becoming intoxicated attracted the
attention of Marshal Rogers and
was locked up for the night, the
marshal intending when morning
came and his prisoner was himself
again to send him home.
Lee had the reputation of being
exceedingly troublesome when
under the influence of liquor and
on this occasion appeared on the
street, creating considerable dis
turbance. The marshal requested
him to leave town and go home
which he refused to do, and after
attempting to drive his horse on
the sidewalk he was arrested.
About one o'clock the marshal
was Mortified to find the whole in
terror of the building in flames.
He broke open the door in hope
of rescuing the prisoner, but was
forced to seek aid while the fire
issued from the Jail and lighted
up the buildings across the rail
/ road track. The ringing of the fire
bell instantly called forth assistance
+, and the water was no sooner
turned on than the flames were ex.
tinguished. But it was too late
The fire had apparently been burn
ing for some time before it gainec
sufficient impetus to attract out
side attention, and death had re
leased the prisoner from his
suffering before rescuers reached
him.
A stretcher was brought, the re
mains placed upon it and wrapped
| in blanket to await final dispo
sition by the undertaken.
Various theories are advanced a
to the cause of the fire, the mos
probable being that the prisoner i
his intoxicated condition in som
manner, either purposely or accl
dentally, set the bed clothes afire
