GREAT MONOPOLY BROKEN.
Farmers Are Now Free to Make Al
cohol Under New Law.

Washington, March 4. - The dena-
tured alcohol bill, which went to the
president for signature, will have the
effect of breaking the Standard Oil COM
pany's monopoly Of this new fuel pro-
duct. Under the provisions OF this
bill individual farmers will be permit
ted to manufacture denatured alcohol
for their own needs or for sale and in
large or small quantities. As the orig
inal bill was drawn, denatured alcohol
could only be produced by large distil-
leries, and the Standard had complete
ly monopolized the entire product.
1t was to preserve this monopoly
that Senator Aldrich endeavored to
amend the pending bill, but, to his
surprise, large majority Of the sena-
tors turned against him, and his amend
ment was lost. Senator Fulton, who
had received many appeals from Oregon
farmers on behalf Of the new bill, vig-
orously attacked the Aldrich amend
ment, as did other senators from the
Northwest, except Ankeny and Hey
burn, who stood with Aldrich and
against the farmers, Hepburn making
asspeech in favor of the amendment,
which would have prohibited individ-
uals from manufacturing denatured al
cohol

President Creates Reserves by
Wholesale Before Too Late.
new RESERVES IN NORTHWEST
Adds Nearly 1000. 900 Acres to Ma
tional Forests of Oregon, WASH
ington and idaho.

Washington, March g. Prior 10
signing the agricultural bill, which
contains Senator Fulton's amendment
prohibiting the creation Of forest re-
serves In the Northwestern states ex-
cept by the authority Of congress, the
president yesterday issued prcclama
tion creating 32 forest reserves in the
six states affected by the Fulton amend
ment. His pIoclamations add 4,051,-
600 acres to the reserve area Of Oregon.
4, 246, 900 acres In Washington and
$50, 900 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, 80 far as known 10 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.
The largest reservation in Oregon
was an addition Of 977 900 acres to the
Blue mountain reserves in Eastern Ore
gon. Other additions in existing re-
serves are: 100000 TO the Siskiyou in
Southern Oregon, 1900 acres to the
Weneha reserve, 5l4, 1000 acres to the
Cascade reserve, mostly on its western
border, and l54 900 to the Ashland re-
serve In Southwestern Oregon.
To include the timber land Of the
Coast range the president created the
Tillamook reserve, containing l65, 900
acres; the Coquille reserve, embodying
140, 900 acres, and the Umpqua reserve,
with an area OF S02, 900 acres.
The Wallowa and Chesniminus re-
serves are combined under the name Ui
Imnaha, and 7s3, 900 acres are added
In Washington the Washington re-
serve is enlarged by the addition Of g.
275, 900 acres, which includes practical
ly all government land between the
present Washington and Rainier re.
serves. This makes one continuous re-
serve along the Cascade mountains from
the Columbia river to the international
boundary. This addition embraces the
Northern Pacific grant, but railroad
lands are not made part of the reserve
and no right of lieu selection accrues,
A new reserve is created to include
S57, 900 acres of the Colville Indian
lands: the Priest river reserve is Great
ed in Stevens county to contain $40, ,00C
acres; the Olympic reserve is enlarged
by $4,000 acres, and 100000 acre:
are added to the Rainier reserve.
Most of the forest land in Idaho has
already been reserved. A Palouse re
serve is created with an area Of 192, ,00(
acres; the Port Neuf is created with al
area of loo, 900 acres; the Big Horn il
enlarged by the addition of $4,000
acres, and about 10000 acres is addeC
to the Weiser reserve.

Low one-way colonist rates to the

mail wagon, containing three pouches,
two of which were filled with miscel-
laneous mail matter and third with
reigstreed mail, was stolen from in
front OF the Stock Exchange building,
LaSaile and Washington streets, to-
night while the driver was making 3
collection in the building. At the
time Of the theft the street was crowd
ed with persons, none of whom saw the
theft.
While the collector was inside the
thief drove off with the wagon. which
was enclosed by a screen, the door TO
which was locked.
Two hours after the robbery the wa

HITS ROCK OFF. F.EuREKA.
Steamer Oakland Another Victim to
Humboldt Bar.

Eureka, CAL, March g. Humboldt
bar claimed another victim today when
the steamer Oakland, in an attempt to
reach the inside entrance, ran on the
rocks Of the south jetty. For almost
an hour the Oakland remained on the
rocks, and the bar tug Ranger was call
cd 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 tus
Ranger went to her assistance, towing
her this time into the bay, where she
was beached in badly leaking condi
tion. There are several large holes in
her stern.
The Oakland went on the rocks
about ! 1000 feet from the wrecked Co
roma. Several attempts have beer
made to reach the Corona by the Hum
boldt bay lifesaving station, but al
were futile. One trip the lifeboa'
barely escaped destruction on thu
rocks on the north jetty.

effect that John w. Hall, formerly
a resident of Gentle valley. Idaho,
was drowned near Taber. Canada. on

river and went TO measure some hay
a few miles distant At $3.50 In the
evening they returned to the ferry
only to find the boat on the op-
posite side of the river Mr.. Hall
decided to swim the stream to get
the boat. Divesting himself of his
clothing excepting under wear, he
waded ana swan to a sandbar in mid
stream. Where he rested n short time
and then plunged into the main chan
mel, which at that point is about 200
yards wide and very deep. His COM
panion soon heard cries for help, but
as the night was very dark, the
drowning man could not be seen, and
Mr. Edwards was powerless to lend
assistance.
The shouts of the latter however,
brought men to the opposite shore,
hut by that time nothing could be
seen or heard OF Mr.. Hall, All night
search was instituted for the miss
ing man. and for several days the
hunt was kept up, but without avail,
for at the last information received
Mr.. Halls body had not been found.

COMES ON HOLIDAY.
Federation Of Labor Asks Board TO

When Monday Sept. was named by

thought that the day was legal holi-

Utah Federation of Labor, which at a

order opening the schools on that day.

In any medical compound as much de.

used.
First, there must BIO due proportion
Of the ingredients. Each drug in the
pharmaoopeia has its special action. TIC
combine any drug with other drugs
that have slightly different action, the
combination must be made with strict
reference to the use for which the com.
pound is intended. The drugs may be
well selected as to their efficacy, but the
compound ENTIRELY SPOILED BY
THE PROPORTION in which they are
combined.
In compromising catarrh remedy DR..
Hartman has had many years expert
ence. In the use of the various ingre-
dients which compose the catarrh rem
edy, Peruna, he has learned, little by
little, how to harmonize the action Of
each ingredient, how to combine them
into q stable compound, how to arrange
them into such nice proportions as to
blend the taste, the operation and the
chemical peouliarities of each several
ingredient in order to produce a
pharmaceutical product beyond the
criticism of doctors, pharmacists or
chemists.
WE REPEAT, THAT AS MUCH DE.

THE DRUGS ARE COMBINED AS

The compound mustpresentastability

combined that it will remain just the
same whether used in the logging or
mining camps of the northwest or the
coffee plantations of the tropics.
a complete list Of the ingredients of
Peruna would not enable any druggist
or physician to reproduce Peruna. tits
the skill and sagaoity by which these
ingredients are brought together that
give Peruna much of its peculiar claims
as an efficaoious oatarrh remedy.
However much virtue each ingredi-
emit of Perlna may possess, the value of
the compound depends largely upon the
manner and proportion in which they
are combined.
