Declaring that the policypf CEN
servation is too broad, that khe
price of lumber will never i, be
cheaper and that reforestation will
never be possible until less bur
densome tax is laid on timber
lands, George 8. Long, the million
aire lumberman of Seattle, ex-
planned what he termed the lumber
mans attitude toward conserva-
ton in addressing the irrigation
congress this morning. Long gave
credit to Roosevelt for developing
the conservation idea and then de-
clared that it has been little too
hasty.
'If conservation as we interpret
it today had commenced 100 years
ago." heb said, ''and our resources
been used without waste, that part
of the United States west of the
Mississippi river would still be the
home of the Indian and buffalo.
What we have achieved Is worth
more to us and our successors
than what 1t has cost Forest re-
production by private ownership
will continue to be Improbable I'M
til such time as forest products
will command higher prices and a
feasible scheme devised, lessening
the tax charged on forest lands.

Baby's Itch
Easily Cured
lnfantiIe Eczema Quickly Relieved
by Washing With Wintergreen
Compound.

Results of the last two years in
dictate conclusively that baby's
itch, infantile eczema and other
skin diseases of children can be
very simply cured by the applica-
ton of a compound composed of oil
of wintergreen, thymol and glycer-
inc, as in d. d. d. Prescription.
The Rev. Lewis Steeley of
Weatherly. Pa, writes:
Our baby boys little face was
so dreadfully covered with eczema
that blood and water ran from the
sores nearly all the time. After
using 81 bottles of d. d. D. Pre-
scription (at $1.0O bottle) we are
20 happy to tell you he is entirely
cured and the disease has never
broken out again. If this letter is
in any way help to other suffer
ers, you may publish it."
If you have a child which Is suf-
fering with the terrible itch, we are
sure you will not neglect one hour
to give your baby the right kind of
relief. We have seen too often
how quickly the remedy mentioned
above takes the itch away at once
and how all the cures seem to be
permanent; we have seen this too
often to hesitate at all in recon-
mending the remedy for your chill
dren.

LICENSE CLUB ON
SCREEN LAW

Failure of Davidson & Duckett,
proprietors of the Cross Roads sa-
loon, LIZ Lincoln street, to comply
with the new screen law, has in
CURED for them the i'll will of the
police department, and resulted to-
day in refusal by Chief of Police
Sullivan and Police Commissioner
Teurke to consent to a transfer of
a six months license to the Cross

Davidson &c Duckett are soon to
lace the necessity of securing a
new license and arranged with
Henry Boessmann of the Spokane
Brewing e. Mailing Co. for the

RECLAMATION MAY CUT
NUMBERS DOWN
Continued from page u

but the price will be advanced con-
siderably above that at which it is
now being held.
The drawing at Occur d'Alene
opened this morning with consid-
cradle enthusiasm in spite of the
fact that more numbers have al
ready been drawn than can be sup
piled with land in the Occur d.
Alene reservation. There are but
about 1900 claims there. The only
chance there is for those above
1900 lies in the possible failure of
those below 1900 to make entry on
the land.
Should one of these fail to make
entry, then the first number above
1900 will be notified of the chance
and so on till the lands are ex-
hausted. TIL names being drawn
today from 1900 up to 5000 are to
those below 1900 fail to make their
entry.
Spokane has been the luckiest in
the Occur d'Alene drawing, her
people taking more than all of
Idaho put together. Only few of
the eastern people drew lucky num-
bers, though hundreds of them
crossed the continent to make ap-
plication. The middle west Jared
little better, then came Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho, with a few
lucky numbers for Californians and
a liberal number for Montana.
OF course little Helen Hamilton,
who drew number one for Isadore
Segil of Myrtle Creek, Ore, is
about the most popular little miss
in the whole world with hundreds
of Uncle Sans lucky people today
and maybe she can't be blamed if
she does watch express packages
for little tokens of gratitude.
w. w. Leeper, before whom Sc
lig registered, wired his lucky eli
ent a neat little suggestion of a
silk hat or maybe little financial
congratulatory remembrance, i'm
mediately after he learned of his
success yesterday.
"You registered before me and
drew No. 1. w. w. Leeper," the
message said, SO why shouldn't
Helen have visions of silk dresses
and the like?

INLAND CLOSES
UP DEATH TRAP

Three people having been knock
ed from the Inland Empire electric
railway bridge into the Spokane
river in the last few days has
caused the company to rip up the
planks that formerly made the
bridge inviting as public thor
oughfare and to station two guards,
one at either end, night and day, to
prevent people from entering upon
it. Notices have been posted warn
ing all under penalty of prosecu-
ton for trespass to stay off the
bridge.
The increased demand for the
use of the bridge by the public is
due to the tearing out of the
Olive avenue bridge close by to
make way for the new bridge to
be built by the city. The only
other bridge convenient is the one
at Boone avenue.

PICTURE
CAUSES DIVORCE
(By United Press.)

SEATTLE, Aug. 10.-Frank w.
Shire went to five cent theater
on Second one night last Septem-
Der. One of the moving pictures
was Frisco at fleet time. The sailor
boys were marching down Market,
while a crowd packed the side
walks. Here's the story he tells
in a divorce complaint filed in the
superior court.
Shire saw two familiar faces
near the curb. One was his wife,
supposed to be visiting her sister
in Spokane. The other was a man
who had roomed at the Shire home.
The two faces which Shire knew
so well seemd to mock him as they
laughed and moved their silent
lips. Then the picture went out,
the lights went on and the show
was over.
Three weeks after that Mrs.
Shire returned home. He said
nothing, but waited to catch her in
a trap. She talked at length on
what a pleasant visit she had had
with her sister in Spokane.
For over month Shire waited
for his wife to make a slip, but the
clever woman never did.
Then he could stand it no longer.
He openly accused her of her al
legged perfidy. A scene followed
and she left home, even though he
offered to forget and forgive.
Il don't love you, that's ALL" she
said.

BAD FOR
HIGH COURT

SEATTLE, Aug. 10.-Further
testimony reflecting on the In
tegrity Of the supreme court of
Washington was given yesterday
before the legislative committee
conducting the court inquiry at Sc
attic. p. F. Morrow of Seattle was
the star witness and the burden of
his testimony was to the effect that
prearranged opinion had been de-
livered by the court through Judge
Root, much in the same manner
that the Harris case opinion was
endered.
J. Eugene Jordan, Seattle at
torney, conducted the legal end of
the case, Morrow says, and Repre-.
sentative K. B. Palmer was used
to approach Judge Root. The
name of Judge Crow of Spokane
was drawn into the hearing by

WOULD SETTLE
FOR s250,000

Three claim agents are busily en-
gagged in adjusting the claims for
damages growing out of the Occur
d'Alene wreck. The small claims
are being settled first and the
larger ones will then be taken up.
An official of the Inland Empire
system stated today that the COM
pany would gladly give a check for
$25O,000 II someone would take 1t
and agree tot adjust all the claims
for that amount.
The Graves company has no in
demnity insurance to cover it's
loss in the wreck 1t carries in
demnity insurance in the case of
its employees, but not on accidents
such as that at Occur d'Alene.
The heavy loss involved in the
wreck has hit the Inland a hard
blow and projects that were about
to be undertaken this year, like
the Big Bend road, have been
postponed.
The smallest claim so far set
tied was for so cents for the break
Ing of ferule off the end of an UNI
brella. The man making the claim
said that it was a present from his
wife and asked a dollar for the
damage sustained.
In another case a man and wom-
an presented claim for damaged
clothing and asked $3.50 for their
loss. This amount was paid.

SMALL FORTUNE
LOST AND FOUND

Miss N. Hensell lost a little for
tune and then suddenly found it
again this morning. While board
ing a street car she lost handbag
containing a small purse which
contained one ring set with ruby
surrounded by diamonds, another
set with an amethyst surrounded
by diamonds and small watch set
with diamonds in the back. She
reported the loss to the police, but
they had scarcely gone out on the
hunt for it when Miss Hensell
called up and said she had recov-
cred her jewels.

bURRENOORSES
REUIEROAHL
PLANS

Professor w. HI. Burr, New York
hydraulic and bridge authority, is
today preparing his report on the
plans of water extensions drawn
by Water Commissioner Reuter-
dahl and will submit the same to
the city council tonight. At the
same time Professor Burr will
probably appear before the city
council and report verbally on the
water situation, in addition to his
findsings made In writing.
While the character of Professor
Burr's recommendations are not
known, as his report has not yet
been filed, it is understood that he
has endorsed the plans of Mr.. Reu-
terdahl as general proposition.
Professor Burr has been here for
two days and spent yesterday in an
inspection of the water plant and
the proposed extensions, going
over the city in an automobile with
Water Commissioner Reuterdahl.
rhe various levels of the city were
Inspected, reservoir sites noted,
The pumping station, water power
and deep well examined and a very
comprehensive inspection of the
whole plant made
Professor Burr thinks that Spo-
kane, in its underground water sup
ply, is one of the most fortunate
cities in the country. He was inn
pressed with the fact that the hills
surrounding the city furnish ideal
sites for reservoirs to supply water
TO the lower levels by gravity, as ii
nature had so devised things in
favor of Spokane.
Professor Burr says the city OF
Brooklyn, with a population OF
100000. is now installing an un
foreground water supply, but that
neither Brooklyn nor any other city
In the country has any such supply
of water to draw upon as that in
Spokane
After his report on the water
question, Professor Burr will take
up the inspection of City Enginee,
Ralston's plans for the Monroe
street bridge, on which he has al
ready spent some time. The bridge
sit will be inspected and the plans
gone over on the ground, with 8
view of making recommendations
first hand after careful survey oil
the surroundings.

"The lumberman believes. that
he knows more about numbering
than the forester does and affirms
that the forester knows more OF
forestry. The public demands
cheaper lumber and less cutting Of
timber at the same time"
Long declared that the greatest
waste in wood is chargeable to the
man who uses wood for fuel, and
not to the lumberman. He declared
that the lumbermen want to Co
operate with the forestry bureau
for conservation.

SHOOTS IN
SELF-DEFENSE

Last evening convivial party
wound up in a local saloon. at about IL
O'Clock, and called for drink. After
partaking of same, thirty cents was
rendered in payment, which was less
than half the charge, when the bar
tender goodnaturedly declared that
the treat was on the house. In a short
time more drinks were called for.
amounting to $50, which it is claim
ed the men refused to settle for.
Ofiicer Moore was sent for. and upon
ms arrival advised the men to paw
Tor their drinks. In beligerant man
neF one of the party asked the officer
what business it was of his, ANYHOW.
Moore replied that he was an officer
OF the law and had been sent for to
settle the dispute.
Thereupon, it is alleged. two of the
men, Harry Flynn and George Nous,
started for the officer, who commanded
them to halt, at the same time drawing
his revolver. The two men. who are
said to have been considerably under
the Influence of liquor. paid no at
tention to the command and continued
to advance. Officer Moore then fred,
the bullet striking Flynn in the left
wrist.
The injured man was taken over to
DIR. Giroux's office, where his wound
was dressed, and the entire party was
then taken to the county Jail and
locked up, Flynn and Nous charged
with being principals, and Henry
Walker and Claude McDermott being
held as witnesses.
The prisoners will be given hear
ing before Judge Robins upon his re-
turn from Carson City.

TO INCREASE CITY
WATER SUPPLY

For several years the water supply
for the town of Winnemuea, especially
during the dry season, has been a very
serious question. 1t is possible that
enough water could be furnished by
the company, if users would economize
the supply, but many fail to do this,
and for three or four months during
the year the water coming from the
mountains is found inadequate to meet
the demand and pumping is resorted to.
For some weeks past the Water &
Light company has had under consid
GRAFTON plans for supplying the town
with an abundance of water during
the entire year For this purpose en-
gineers have been at work in Cross
canyon surveying a site for a new res
ervoir, with a capacity of millions of
gallons, large enough to store all the
waters that go to waste in the spring
of the year. Application has been
made to the State Engineer for per-
mission to appropriate the waste wa
ters of Thomas canyon, as well, and
by another year it is hoped that the
water question will have been settled
for all time in a satisfactory manner.

.STOCKMEN HAVE NO
CAUSE FOR ALARM

John G.. Taylor, the well known
1,ovelock stockman, who had been
snending few days in this end of the
county returned home last evening on
No. 3. Seen at the Lafayette yester-
aay by representative of the Silver
state and asked as to what extent the
stock of Lovelock valley had been in
fected with anthrax, Mr.. Taylor said:
"It amounts to very little. Cattle
that have been browsing around in low
places, drinking slough water, have
been affected with some sort of all
ment. but as soon as driven to higher
ground, where they can obtain pure
running water, soon get in good con
dition. This is nothing new, as it has
always been the case since / have
been in the country
''What does this talk of glanders
amount to, Mr.. Taylors'
~ believe there has been one sus.
pected case, horse that came from
Fallon, where it was employed on the
government construction work When
| left home it had not been determin.
ed whether its affection was glanders
or not However, it had been quaran.
tined, and there is no chance for the
disease to spread, even though it turn
ed out to be glanders.
In speaking of the situation, Sheriff
Lamb, who visited Lovelock last
week. said:
fThere is nothing in the situation
TO cause alarm. While it is true that
there have been several eases of an
thrax among cattle in the Lovelock
valley, il has been confined entirely to
those running on the low ground As
fast as the stock is moved the disease
disappears. The cold weather will
check the infection for this year, and
if proper precautions are taken, it will
not again make its appearance in the
spring."
