PLANNING THAw's RELEASE
His Friends and Counsel Seeking to
Get His Liberty.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Relatives
and counsel of Harry X. Thaw will
hold conference today at the state
asylum for the criminal insane at
Mattewan to decide whether or not
to begin at once proceedings looking
toward Thaw's discharge from Gus
tody on the ground that he is not
now insane. There are three ways in
which the attempt may be under
taken:
One is to ask the superintendent
of the Mattewan asylum to ascertain
Thaw's sanity; another is to ask the
state supreme court to appoint a
commission to examine him, and the
other is to produce him before the
supreme court by a writ of habeas
corpus and have him examined by .
sheriff's jury. These moves may be
made either In Duchess county
where the asylum is located, or II
New York county Some of Thaw'i
counsel are reported to favor delay

BAKER CITY FIEND
CUT DOWN ORCHARD.

Yesterday when Mrs. l.. Ingcrsoll
who resides at 1889 Madison street,
went to her garden lots just across
from her home she found to her great
surprise, that some low-down spitefm
enemy had cut down 40 OF the fine
fruit trees which she had set out this
year, says the Baker City Herald.
About a week ago parties entered
thr lots where Mrs. Ingersoll is pre-
pairing 70 build a home and dug up
about dozen choice rose bushes ani
tearing up others. The bushes were
tern up and left on the ground and
the trees merely cut down and left
there, showing that it was spite work
on the part of the person, or persons
who did It,
Mrs. Ingersoll has couple of lots
in Rust's grove and was setting out
trees, planting flowers and fixing the
place up for a future home. She has
spent much time and money on the
place and feels very keenly the loss
of all her efforts. The rose bushes
were the finest she could buy and the
trees were the choicest of apple,
cherry. peach and plum. There was
no robbery as the plants and trees
we're not removed.

FOUR INCHES SNOW
ON MOUNTAINS
EARLY FALL COVERS
WENAHA RESERVE
j. VI. Schmitz Tells of Conditions in
the ReServe-Few Trails Built This
Year On Account of shortage of
Funds-Big Fires in Blue Noun
tain District.

Forest Supervisor ]. NJ. Schmitz
OF the Wenaha national reserve re-
turned to his home in Walla Walla
yesterday after a two weeks trip
through the forest, most of his time
being spent fighting fires of more or
less magnitude, says the Walla Wal
: Ia Union.
He stated yesterday that four or
five inches OF snow has fallen in the
mountains south and east of Dayton
during the past few days. According
to old settlers it is something unusual
u have snow at this season as it rare
" ever comes before the last of Sep
tember or the first of October.
The biggest and most disastrous
fire which has occurred in the We
naha reserve during the summer was
at the head Of the Wenatchee river
south of Dayton. This fire burned
over 1900 acres Of underbrush and
logs and required 20 men fighting al
most day and night for 13 days to get
It under control.
When Mr.. Schmitz arrived at the
scene Of this blaze the worst damage
had been done, but under his direc-
tions further precautions were taken
to prevent its spreading and It soon
died out While It burned over .
large area of ground there was little
real damage done because there was
no valuable timber on the land, 1t
having been taken off previously.
Another forest fire which threaten
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-09-01

ed for time to do considerable dam
age was near the oregon Buttes. This
was discovered by Mr.. Schmitz and
Ranger Kendall before 1t had done
much damage.
Although there we're but two Of
them they commenced digging
trenches around the fire area, which
was about three acres. This occupied
the biggest part OF one night and the
fighters were rewarded by seeing the
flames die down when they came to
the trenches.
Owing to a curtailment in govern
ment appropriations for forestry
work this year there is not so much
trail work being done in the wenaha
reserve as there was last season.
There has been up until the present
time about $500 expended for this
work and there remains about that
amount left for the same purpose. In
addition to this $1,000 there will be
another thousand expended for build
ing cabins for rangers and stockmen.
According to reports brought by
Mr.. Schmitz. cattle and sheep within
the bounds of the reserve were never
in better condition than at the present
time. Many OF the cattle are ready
for beef now and will soon be driven
out and sold to the butchers.
Stock cattle will remain until next
month when they will be brought
down into the valley for winter feed
ing. Sheep are IN similar condition
and already many of the mutton
sheep have been brought from the
mountains and sold.
The grass seems to have attained
much moe luxuriant growth this sea-
son than for several years, which is
thought to be due to the careful re,
strictions placed upon cattle and
sheepmen in regard to pasturing in
one locality too long at a time.

WASHINGTON NOT HURT
BY FINANCIAL FURRY.

A business review of the state OF
Washington says of conditions there
this fall:
Washington banks have plenty OF
money. Deposits show an average in
crease of between and per cent.
This, taken with only a fair demand
for loans, leaves them in better con-
dition than last year to meet any
stringency which may iccur. Re-
serves are much greater; one bank
reporting their cash reserves as being
double the usual amount.
The shipments of gold will be much
less than last year, as many banks
report that they are overloaded with
coin and currency; the demand, such
as It is, being pretty we'll divided be-
tween Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and
Portland, who in turn fall back on
San Francisco.
Quite a number of Washington
banks buy commercial paper al
though a few are decreasing the
amount handled, owing to local de-
mands at this season. Without ex-
ception this class of loans appears to
have given very good satisfaction. In
some cases 1t was the only asset that
could be counted on.
One bank carrying over one-third
of their loans in business paper have
from 100000 to $780, OvJ coming
due monthly They report that all
which fell due during the financial
strlngency was exceedingly satisfac>
tory except three or four pieces, for
scme of which they have taken long
term notes and expect to lose little.
The Vreeland-Aldrich act does not
meet much favor, as the terms Of the
act are not considered to be liberal
enough. In some quarters 1t Is
thought that the law may help mat
ters in good deal the same manner
as the clearing house notes did last
fall, but a bond secured currency Ia
not believed in, asset currency against
proper coin reserve being preferred.
Spokane has invited the inland banks
to join with them in a currency asso-
citation under the new law.
Present business conditions are said
to be good. but the crop shortage in
the, eastern part Of the state may
later have some effect, which will be
partially offset by the high price Of
wheat.
Merchants collections are only fair,
and the volume tf trade appears to
/ have fallen off to some extent.
