To REOPEN
BOUNDARY FUSS
WASHINGTON ANNOUNCES DIS
SATISFACTION OVER SETTLE
MENT OF OREGON AFFAIR."
HOLD MEETING AT PORTLAND.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
Portland, Ore, Jan 4.-The Even
ing Telegram said today:
Definite steps toward a reopening
of the Oregon-Washington boundary
dispute were taken by a party Of
Washington officials who recently
held secret conference in this city.
Application will soon be formulated
for rehearing before the United
States supreme court, which recently
decided the controversy In Oregon's
favor. Several contentious in sup
port of the appeal for the reopening
Of the case will be set up by the peo-
pie of Washington.
One of the contentious that will be
made is that despite the recent de-
eision which gave Sand Island to Ore
gon, this island at the mouth of the
Columbia river actually belongs to
Washington; that the waters in the
channel north of Sand Island are
shoaling so rapidly that in a few
years, perhaps five or so, the whole
island will become an integral por-
ton OF Washington. The state OF
Washington will claim that it is in
conceivable that a part of its own
territory separated by a broad stretch
of water from an adjoining state
should belong to the adjoining state
for purposes of taxation, settlement
or for source of revenue.
Assistant Attorney General E. C.
Mcdonald. State Senator MCGOWAN
and Joe Burke, all of whom played
a prominent part in the original pro-
ceedings ON behalf of the state of
Washington, came to Portland to
meet Attorney General A. M. Craw-
ford of Oregon, that the two states
might compute the costs of the cases
which we're assessed by the supreme
court equally against the neignbor-
ing conrloawealths. This matte
was discussed and it is presumed that
satisfactory adjustment of the costs
was 'eachei.
While here the Washington people
announced that it was not at all sat
isfied with the outcome of the boun-
dairy case, and began to lay their
plans for renewal of the fight. 1t
is the intention of MCGOWAN in his
capacity as state senate to lay the
matter IF asking for a rehearing b."

secured the return of 100000
acres Of grazing land and Of 1000

OF the land frauds, the president
says: mo more striking instance can

having a central corps Of skilled In.

violation of the federal statutes. In

The secret service men obtained
hundreds of convictions OF conspira-
tors who sold fraudulent naturaliza-
ton papers. They located in Canada
Greene and Gaynor, who were I'M
plicated in big government contract
frauds, and arrested them. They Sc
cured mary convictions in peonasa

The total expense of the secret ssrv-
ice last year was $135. 900.

SLIGHT BLAZE AT HOLM RESI-
DENCE.

The r. F. Holm residence, on Okla
hogan avenue, had narrow escape
this forenoon from destruction by
fire. The flames had a good head
way when discovered by Mrs. Holm
and were rapidly spreading to the
interior furnishings. She grabbed
heavy quilt and went to work to
smother them, and in this she was
successful, but only after she had
received some bad burns and had
her hair badly scorched.

One to be Organized by Wan
nebo Road Farmers
Meeting for that Purpose to
be Held Next Saturday
Night.

The farmers on the Wannebo
road out as far as Long Lake
believe in being just as uptodate
as their neighbors and there is
now a movement on foot for the
organization of new telephone
company by the people out that
way. There are about thirty
five farmers along the road who
are anxious to have telephone
service and a meeting will be
held on Saturday evening of this
week for the purpose of forming
a company. The plan is to SUBJ
scribe enough stock to build the
line to this city and connect with
the local lines here. The sub
scribers will have to buy their
own instruments and keep the
lines in repair but after the line
is completed this expense is
com paratively light. The move
is good one and should be
carried out by the farmers. Lit
will keep them in closer touch
with the people of the city and
will oe great convience to them

Some Kind of Pest has Taken
A Liking To That Kind.
Bayfield, County Birch For
ests Looming up Conspicu-
ously for Yellowness.

The birch trees Of this section OF
the state are being destroyed.
1t is feared that unless the late
ness of the season acts as check
there will be thousands of valua BILE
trees Of this kind to die out this fall
To all appearances the trees are
dead and dying now but whether
they will revive remains to be seen.
In riding through the woods the
birch trees now loom up in contrast
to the other foliage of the forest on
account of the yellowness OF their
leaves, For some little time past
the leaves have been gradually turn
ing. First little yellow spots ap-
peared and these kept spreading un-
til many entire leaves would be dis
colored and begin to fall.
An examination of the leaves OF
some of the trees has brought to
light the fact that the under side is
covered with tiny worms half an
inch or less in length, which seem
to thrive on the pulpy subs tance
found in the leaf: These were not
noticed early in the summer but
within the last week or two they
have evidently reached their prime
Around here for instance. where in
many places there are some beauti-
full groves of white birch, the de-
vastation is especially marked. The
birches may be singled out for
long distances. so far no other
species of tree seems to be affected
1t is not known whether the worm,
after having stripped the birch will
turn TO others. or whether it will
cease i depredations. The hope is
expressed that chilly nights will put
an end to the pest before much more
damage is done, The l,ss of the
trees will be felt not only on account
of the beauty oil the white birch but
because of the fact that much growth
of timber valued for various uses
will be lost,
AS yet no steps have been taken
to discover just how the work is
classed and what natural enemy is
bestadapted to exterminate The
worm seems to be no relative of the
so-called army worm that during
the summer devastated the jack
pines.

has been purchasing 2 or 8
hundred Angora goats which
he will place on his land near

produce a fine grade of wool, bat
they are excellant for clearing
land. They eat all the under
brush and it is said they will
even climb small trees and eat
