For Stock Exhibit.
1t has been decided by the COM
mission to devote the entire so feet
addition on the south side of the pa
vilion to housing the stock exhibit.
The addition will be rooted with can
vas in the same manner as the main
pavilion and it will be fitted with
box stalls for animals requiring such
while the other side will be taken up
by the open stalls. In the center the
smaller stock. such as sheep, hops,
poultry, etc, will be penned.
1t Is the intention to have the stock
displays more presentable than they
were last fall and with the canvas
covered, well lighted room planned
there can be no just complaint that
the stock will not be well quartered.
Should it be necessary. stock sheds
will also be constructed on Cotton
wood street in the rear of the pavil-
ion as was done last year.
Prices for floor space in the pa
vilion have been set by the commits
sion. The price to firms desiring ad-

Farmers Union Propaganda.
"As soon as the busy season is over
we shall organize the Farmers union
In every town and hamlet in the in
land empire. We now have our liter
ature in the homes of the farmers all
over the country. Farmers who are
looking to their own interests are
reading the literature and as soon as
our organizer comes around they will
be ready to join to protect their own
interests.
I'm less than two years we expect

only throughout the wheat districts
OF the inland empire, but on the coast
and at Portland as well.
"And why should we not?
I'VE have been driven to 1t by the
trusts and monopolies of our country
and now that we are organized, the
movement Is going to spread and
union warehouses will soon be found
in every part of the country where
there is a farming community"

CHILD SEVERELY BURNEI
Boise Lads Clothing Ignites
Unknown Cause.

Boise, Aug. 28.-Robert Brandep
5-year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. John
BRANDED, was severely and dangerous
ly burned Sunday afternoon at their
home at 1912 North Seventh street.
His chest, head, neck, arms and
hands were burned almost to a crisp
before effective aid could reach him
to extinguish the flames.
The little fellow in company with
several small companions, was at
play some distance from the house
and in some unknown manner his
clothing caught fire. He Immediate
ly began running for home, scream
ing as he ran. He ran through the
barn and thence to the house, calling
on his mother to help him.
Mrs. BRANDED, as soon as she heard
the screams of the boy, ran to him,
but had nothing with which to wrap
him to extinguish the flames except
her apron and the skirts of her dress.
She wrapped these around him and
partially stopped the progress of the
flames.
An older brother of the boy, hear
Ing the screams of the little fellow,
grabbed blanket and ran to where
the mother was trying to save the boy
and with his assistance the flames
were smothered, but not until the
boy was burned as described.
The child had on heavy undercloth-
ing and this is probably all that saved
his life. AS it is his hands, arms, face,
neck and chest are burned raw,
raw. scarcely patch of skin being
left. The flesh was not badly enough
burned to make 1t fall from the bones.

no ready purchasers the city council
was badly shocked, and some of the
aldermanic leaders Sweat blood" for
a few days for fear that the levee i'm
provements, the sewer extension, tthe
street work and the city hall would
have to fade away like the mirage Of

local banks were consulted upon the
subject It was found that the situa-
tion was not serious after all. Com
pared with the s4,000,000 that is be-

crop the little $4,000 bond issue was
found to be trifle, and the willing
ness of the local financiers to take
the bonds or at least a part of them,
and at par, was welcome news to the
finance committee of the council.
While none of the bonds have yet
been disposed of It is understood that
local people will take enough of them
to suffice present needs, and It is be-

FIRST DEGREE
MURDER CHARGE
IS IMMINENT AGAINST
SLAYER OF JACK MOONEE
The Latter Passed Away at the Hos.
pital Yesterday Afternoon from the
Effects of Pistol Wound in the
Groin, Inflicted by James Sawyer
During Fight at the Charles Nc
Clellan Ranch.

Jack Monee died at the hospital
yesterday afternoon from the effects
of the gunshot wound inflicted by
James Sawyer, and in consequence
the latter now faces a charge of mur-
der. That he will be charged with
that crime in some form was stated
this morning by District Attorney
Phelps. According to Mr.. Phelps the
facts in the case as they have become
known thus far call for an indictment
upon the charge of murder in the
first degree. However, he will inves-
ugate the case more fully before fill
ing charge against Sawyer.
III company with DIR. McFaul, at
tending physician for Monee, the dis
trict attorney went to the hospital
yesterday afternoon in hopes of get.
ting a statement from Monee. How
ever the dying mans condition was
found TO be so serious that he could
make no statement, and the case will
nave to be tried upon the testimony
offered by others who saw the fight
at the Mcclellan ranch.
Last evening a post-mortem ex-
animation of Monee's body was made
by Drs' McFaul, Cole and Vincent af-
Ter the remains had been taken to
the Baker & Folsom undertaking
parlor. 1t was found that Sawyer's
bullet had entered the groin and had
lodged behind the thigh bone, about
six inches from where it had entered.
Although Monee was thought to be
recovering from his wound his death
Is nevertheless held to have been
caused by 1t.

ENTRIES WITHIN
FOREST RESERVES
POSSIBLE FOR MINING
OR FARMING PURPOSES
This Is Not a Result from Special
Orders from the Interiar Depart
ment Forestry Bureau, but Is Pro-
yided for I'm the Law-Settlers Up
on Such Tracts VIII Have Certain
Enviable Advantages.

Portland, Aug. 2S.-(Special from
oregon Daily Journal. )-George L.
Pollock, chief clerk of the office of
lands of the forest service, is at the
Portland hotel. and explained last
night how a settler can take up a
homestead or mineral claim within a
forest reserve, according to the law
of June IL, 1906. Popular opinion
of the forest reserve policy has al
ways been that no individual has a
right to enter upon the forest reserves
and Mr.. Pollock's statement last
night before a number of attorneys
occasioned some surprise.
"A person desiring to take up a
homestead entry on a forest reserve"
said Mr.. Pollock last night, "can do
so by applying to the forester in
charge. II he secures the latter's con-
sent to occupy the land-the forester's
decision to rest upon an investigation
as to the fitness of the land for home.
stead purposes, the would-be home
steader can occupy the land and by
living up to the provisions of the
homestead law pass the land to final
patent.
"In parceling out large areas of
land 1t is impossible to keep out Sec
tions of good agricultural lands
These often take the shape of small
valleys, rich and fertile for farming
purposes. Other tracts unavoidably
fall within the reserve and ii was
for the purpose of settling these lands
that the provision was made in the
law.
mot only can the settler secure
the benefits natural to the land but
he can have the use of the timber for
development purposes. OF course
this bnefit aids the man who takes
up mineral claims on the reserves.
On such claims the timber is inval-
liable in working the property.
Settlers taking advantage of the
law have many benefits that do not
fall to homesteaders on other public
domain. They not only are protected
In their rights as the latter are, but
because of the fact that the forest
reserves are under direct supervision
of federal authorities, the homestead
er's rights can be guarded more safe
ly.
MANY persons are taking advan-
tage of the new law and when it is
more generally understood, / expect
to see many more applications made.
The fact that the law is known to so
few people is the reason that more
settlers have not taken advantage Of
its provisions"
Mr.. Pollock is making a tour of the
United States to visit officers of the
forest service and will remain in Port
land for several days. His office was
created to meet the requirements of
the provision of the law requiring
homesteaders on the forest reserves,
although Mr.. Pollock has been in the
forest service for many years.

BASIL PARR ARRESTED.
Several Accusations Have Been Made
Against Him.

Basil Parr, the well known half
breed, was arrested here this after
noon by Deputy Sheriff Joe Blakley
and he is now in the county Jail with
series of accusations standing
against him. One of the particular
things for which Parr was arrested
was because he recently rented a
saddle and pair of chaps from q
party at Echo and has since neglected
to return them.
But according to the deputy sheriff
and the district attorney, there are
also other things that made PARIS
presence in Jail desirable. He is sus-
pected of having been implicated with
Jake Mundshanks who recently escap-
ed from the officers at Echo. Parr
also has a past record that is not en-
viable.
