nize the necessity for pursuing forestry
reform by making liberal appropria-
tions lor the purpose. The forestry
lands of the United States ought to be
surveyed and carefully preserved, and
it's jurisdiction in respect to them
clearly defined
FThe regulation of forests in private
ownership within state boundaries is
not plainly within the scope Of federal
jurisdiction, and it should be under
taken by the state.
81 do not think that the states have
taken up the matter with as much
energy as they ought, and have not i'm
proved the opportunity which was
given them by way of example by the
forestry bureau of the United States.
The president also spoke at length on
the other questions mentioned in the
foregoing, saying also forest lands
owned by the public should be surveyed
and held by the government under the
regulation of the forestry bureau, per-
hitting a sale of such timber as shall
be necessary in the proper forestry
preservation. He added, in closing:
"There has been a good deal of dis
cussion in the newspapers as to the
attitude of the present administration
toward the general policy of the con
servation of resources, and some un-
fair and altogether unfounded infer
ences have been drawn.
"The truth is my administration is
pledged to follow out the policies of
Mr.. Roosevelt in this regard, and while
that pledge does not involve me in any
obligation to carry them out unless L
have congressional authority to do so,
it does not require that l take every
step and exert every legitimate infu-
ence upon congress to enact the legis-
lation which shall best subserve the
purposes indicated.
81 do not think that congress, if
properly approached, will object to
adopting legislation of the general
character, which 1 have outlined. In
the past it has aided the forestry serv-
ice by what seemed to be ample APP
preparations.
cit has in measure provided for a
classification of lands by the head of
the geological bureau. These are both
important steps. l hope nothing will
prevent our taking the further steps
needed when congress meets.
"Secretary Ballinger of the interior
department, upon whom will fall the
duty of executing the new provisions
of law, is in entire accord with me as
to the necessity for promoting in every
legitimate way the conservation of the
resources which L have named and he
can be counted upon to use the great
influence which he must have as secre-
tary of the interior to this proper end.
Indeed, it will be found that in
his reports as commissioner of the gen.
eral land office he brought these mat
tiers to the attention of congress and
urged the adoption of general policy
along the lines l have Indicated

Roslyn, Wash, Oct. 4.-Fifteen dead
and dying was the toll exacted of the
Sunday shift of the Northwest Improve

Sunday-the worst that has befallen

Flames Shoot High Into Air.
When the conclusion occurred great
volume of fire went up hundreds of feet
into the air. Immediately the big shaft
plant was enveloped in flames, the siren
at the electric plant began to scream
and people began pouring from every
quarter of the city. AS soon as the PEG
pie got close enough to realize what
had really occurred women and children
began to cry and moan, for it meant the
loss of a husband, father or brother tc
many.
The fire department of Roslyn turned
out and the Clealum department was
rushed to the scene, but beyond saving
the outside buildings and lumber yards
and sawmill little could be accom-
plished.

like an eggshell as the flames swept NJ

WAS HE AFTER PRES. TAFT7
Movements at Portland Give Rise
to Suspician and Arrest
Follows.

Portland, Ore.-Held as a suspicious
character because he attempted to
thrust his way through the police line
Saturday toward President Taft while
carrying a heavy caliber revolver in
his holster and cartridges in his pocket,
Arthur Wright of Lowell Center, Mass,
was subjected to a strenuous third de-
gree here by the police. Wright de-
MED that he was attempting to reach
the president for a malevolent purpose.
He declared that he was endeavoring
to secure a photograph of the presi-
dent.
The police, however, have ascer-
tanned that the young man has fol-
lowed the itinerary of the president
through the northwest, although Wright
denied that he was at any time in the
same city with President Taft until
Portland was reached.
Wright was arrested Just as the
president s automobile was emerging
from court of his hotel. He was
worming his way through the dense
crowd when his suspicious actions were
seen by body guard of the president.
This man called to Captain of Police
George H. Bailey, who ordered Wright
to stand back. Wright, however, kept
advancing. According to Bailey he
was not carrying his camera ready for
use. Bailey showed Wright backward
and then felt the revolver concealed in
a holster over Wright Is chest.
Calling to detectives, Captain Bailey
grappled with Wright, and with the
assistance of the detectives the man
was handcuffed. A 3S-caliber revolver
and several rounds of ball cartridges
were taken from the prisoner, who was
then removed to the city prison.
Eccentric Youth.
Lowell, Mass.-Arthur Wright, ar
rested in Portland, has been "queer"
from his youth, according to a state
ment made here by the young man IS
father.
The elder Wright is wealthy and gem
orally esteemed. He said the young
man, now 2S, had been eccentric from
childhood but he had no idea he meant
the president harm.
"Arthur is a craftsman said the
father, "and for nearly three years he
has been working with a steel firm in
Boston. He left for the west in July

Seattle Gold Receipts Fall Of.

September gold receipts at the Sc
attic as ay office were less than So ,00O,-
600, or nearly 100000 less than for
September of last year. This is due to
lack of water for placer mining for
Alaska because of the dry summer.

than $1s,OOO,OOO.

PROPOSED AERIAL SQUADRON
DEFENSE AGAINST INVASION
BEING PLANNED.
Chief Signal officer Working Under
Instructions of Secretary of War
to Utilize Dirigible Balloons.

If Congress approves, the Atlantic
coast, from Maine to Florida. will be
defended against foreign invasion by
squadron of dirigible balloons. To tnat
end Secretary Dickinson has instructed
Cen Allen, chief signal officer of the
army, to formulate plans for such aerial
defenses 1t has been concluded that be-
sides the protection furnished to the
coast by the coast artillery and mines,
the war balloon is necessary for purposes
of observation.
Plan Of Aeronautic Defense.
AS a result of prolonged discussions by
the aeronautic experts of the army,
tentative scheme of aeronautic defense
has been outlined.
These plans contemplate ellipses of
30 miles each, along the coast, al the
ends of which two or three balloon
houses shall be built. These houses will
be placed out of the range OF attacking
guns, and will be constructed with due
regard to the zones of action established
by the coast artillery. 1t Is the intention
of the Signal Corps to work entirely in
harmony with the Coast Artillery Corps.
Equipment of the Stations.
At each of the stations one dirigible
balloon will be placed. There Will be
three balloon houses near each station in
case concentration might be necessary.
These houses are deemed necessary, be-
cause it is an axiom in the Signal Corps
that there Is little danger to a balloon
while ii is in the air. The danger arises
when a landing Is made or when the di-
rigible is at anchor. 1t is contemplated
that the balloons shall be much larger
than those now in use by the Signal
Corps, and that they shall be able TO
make longer flights.
Gen. Allen is hopeful that the wonderful!
aerial performances OF the Zeppelin bal
loon will induce Congress to act favorably
ON the proposition for fleet OF military
balloons.
