desire h. call your attention 10
the public land. plank OF the Ma
tsoaal ienocra;ic Platform which.
.eparsted from other subjects, reads
~ follows
The establlshHest II rules and
regulatious. If any such are pecese-
srv, AZ relsssoa ~ free grazing lsads

forests oT sher reservat.ons. until
the same shall even, ,sally he d,spos-
ed Of. should be left 10 the people
of the states respectively IN which
the lands NAV be situated ~
We insist upon the presers alton,
protection and replacement OF need
ed forests. the preservation of the
public domain for homeseekers. the
protection Of the natural resources
Of timber, and the irrigation Of
arid lands. "
We insist upon a policy af ad-
minIstratlon Of our forest reserves
which shall relieve 1t of the abuses
which have arisen hereunder and
which shall. as far as practicable,
conform to the police regulations Of
the several states where they are 10
Gated, which shall enable home
steaders as of right to occupy and
acquire title - all portions thereof
which are especially adapted 20 az
riculture and which shall furnish a
system Of timber sales available as
well to private citizens as 10 the
larger manufacturer and consumer.
Other portions Of the platform
strengthen the meaning of this dec
laration. For instance, in summing
up the preamble we find the follow
ing:
Shall the people rule2 is the
overshadowing issue which mani
Tests itself in all the questions now
under discussion"
To enforce this principle would be
a Knockout blow to the present svs-
TEN of government is the forest re
serves.
Another paragraph insists upon
the maintenance of the proper rights
OF the states for local control and
opposes the Capitalization of pow Ell
by convenient judicial construction
which has become 80 popular among
the supporters of the present admin.
istration policy.
The spirit OF the whole platform
is against the arbitrary bureaucratic
power exercised by the administra-
ton in dealing with this ma tier and
is summed up in the following sen
timent as expressed in the preamble
1T must become again the people
government and be administered in
all its departments according to the
Jeffersonian maxim of Equal rights
TO all and special privileges to none ~
The enforcement of the principles
announced in this platform would
eliminate the abuses practiced by
the present administration in the
control of the forest reserves aud the
people in the public lands state,
should endorse it by an overwhelm,
ing majority.

Fatal Accident
On Shaw Island

A sad accident occurred on Shaw
island few minutes before noon
Thursday. resulting in the almost in
slant death OF Axel Sunderling. an
employee of E. A. Glossop in his log
Ring camp. The men we're at work
"breaking down" logs from the bank
to 60 into the water. Mr.. Sunderling
had just fastened the swamp hook into
log and standing upon the log above
it called out to Mr.. Glossop to start
the team and pull away. Mr.. Glossop
called out to him to get off the log
upon which he was standing. realiz-
ing that the young man was in dan
Rerous place. Two or three times he
called to him and another man also
warned him to get away. but he didn't
appear to realize that he was in any
danger. The team, becoming restless,
started quickly. displacin9 not only
the log to which Sunderling had fas-
tened the hook but also the one upon
which he was standing. He lost his
footing and fell. the heavy log roll
ing over him and crushing his life
ont almost instantly. He partly rose,
gasped little and fell back dead
without uttering word.
The young man was twenty one years
old and had been in Mr.. Glossop's
employ about year and half. He
was native of Sweden, where his
parents are living. One of his BROTH
ers. who recently worked with him on
Shaw island. left few days ago for
Seattle. He is also said to have q
brother in Michigan and q sister
in Minneapolis. The funeral arrange
ments had not been completed when
the Islander went to press Friday

While the past seson has presented

in escaping from widespread forest
