SPECIAL AND HEATED.

Today in Olympia, the legislature
Of the state of Washington will meet
in special session at the call of Gov
ernor Hay. The session gives promise
of developing great heat; the points
at issue are those that have been
raised during the conflict over the in
the governor
The warfare, which has grown bit
ter in its intensity, has been brewing
for many months. Local option, ir-
Irregularities in several of the state de-
partments, alleged mismanagement of
state institutions and many minor is
sues are involved in the struggle.
Back of it all is a story Of political
intrigue and revenge and a fierce con-
test for supremacy on the part OF the
two rival factions of the republican
party in that state.
Upon one side are Governor Hay and
his friends, who, at the regular SEES
sion last winter, favored investigation
of the state departments, and on the
other are the friends of the state Of
ficials, who declare that the investi-
cation was purely of the ''muckrake
variety, and undertaken for political
purposes only. Their contention that
state departments, however, was given
a body blow by the arrest some time
ago of Adiutant General Hamilton on
charges OF embezzling more than $4o,-
600 of the state militia funds.
Governor Hay was elected lieutenant
governor and succeeded to the office
Of chief executive on the death of Gov
ernor Cosgrove last spring. The gov
ernor is a strong believer in local OPP
ton, and in the campaign last fall
aligned himself with the reform forces.
The liquor interests, which are influ-
entail, are consequently lending Their
strength to the opposition.
Just what the speeialaexpects to at
tempt to accomplish is surrounded
with the greatest uncertainty Al
present the air is filled only with
charges and counter-charges brought
i BY the rival factions. The governor
has openly threatened to veto any
measure that does not meet with his
approval. 1t is reported. on the other
hand, that the oprosit'or intends IT,

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY
FOR REFORMS NOW

Berlin, June 22.-The political situ-
alton for the crown is extremely con-
fused by todays events. The reich
stag's adoption 6f a quotation tax,
which Chancellor Won BueloW declared
the government would never accept,
and the finance committees rejection
of an inheritance tax, which he de-
clared to be an essential part of the
central scheme of finance reform,
leaves the chancellor's position eX-
,remely precarious. Many politicians
think that the chancellor will be COM
PEELED to resign unless he has the
courage to dissolve the reichstag and
appeal to the country. 49,.
Meanwhile the outlook for financial
reform is exceedingly gloomy. The in
hertance tax will come up for the
second reading ON Thursday before
full house, where it's adoption is pos
sible. Notwithstanding it's rejection to-
day by the committee. The conserva-
tives and cleficals declare however, il
it is adopted they will refuse further
cooperation.

Tho eastern companies, alert to the

by western men of prominence who

insurance company in this field, the
Consolidated Casualty company of Chi
cago. William A. Field, general SUI
perintendent for the Illinois Steel com
pany, and a director of this new COM
pany said: "One strong point in ia

They are loath to see western capital

CHICAGO NEWS LETTER

Chicago June ADMINISTRATION of
the insurance revenues, which western
commercial interests are making in the
effort to capture more of the big insur-
ance funds for the financing of west
ern enterprises, has disclosed that in
surance in the United States insures
against nearly everything but twins
which the Lloyds of London do insure
against. Underwriting now includes a
score of lines beside fire and life
The best evidence of the new and
amazing evolution is the summarized
erist of legislation proposed or passed
at legislative sessions now adjourned
There were bills to regulate many
kinds of insurance which most people
didn't dream are insurable. Time was
when, II your tenants didn't pay their
rent you had to get it by selling par
eel of furniture, And if dentist or "A
physician made a grievous mistake in
their demonstrations, broke a jaw or
gave wrong dope, he was likely to lose
his bank balance to the claimant for
damages And if your automatic
sprinklers leaked all over ten bales of
silk you had to pocket the loss. Now
ndays insurance is to be had against
these contingencies, and legislators
are seeking regulation of it.
Still further back employers We're
worried night and day by possible
blow ups Of their boilers, breaking of
fly-wheels or dropping of elevators
with their attendant damage claims,
the cost of which seemed hopelessly
uncertain. In 1907 the steam boiler in
sarance premiums paid in the United
States amounted to $2,O62,0S6. New

BURNING OF BRUSH
DISCUSSED
FOREST SERVICE EXPERIMENTS
IN OREGON VALLEY ON UNI
DERGRoWTH OF FORESTS.

Is yellow pine reproduction better
Where the brush is cut up and scat
tered over the ground, or where it is
piled and burned? This is question
which the forest service hopes to
answer through interesting expert
ments which have just been started on
the Fremont national forest in Ore
gon.
Whenever the government sells tim
Der from the national forests an es>
sential provision of the contract is
that the brush must be disposed of.
In the yellow pine region it is usually
piled and burned. In the Douglas fir
region the whole cut-over area is
burned broadcast under careful
guards and after fire lines have been
constructed about the area.
The primary object of the disposng
of the brush On cut-oyer areas by
burning is to get rid of q fire trap,
in some types of forest, particularly
in the Douglas fir forests, it serves
another very beneficial purpose, that
is, it promotes the natural seeding up
OF the area and the starting of an
other crop of Douglas fir. In the yell
low pine forests, however, such as are
found over in eastern Oregon and
Washington and in the Southwest,
the effect of burning brush may be
detrimental rather than helpful to the
young growth. In these semi-arid re-
gions the soil dries out very rapidly
and natural reproduction OF yellow
pine is in some localities very poor
on this account. A soil covering or
mulch of brush is quite effective i'll
protecting the soil from the intense
sunshine and helps to conserve tn.
soil moisture. 1t may be wiser, there
fore, to leave the brush unburned in
these dry stands of yellow pine.
Experiments Begin
1t is to settle this question in this
latter type of forest, that the present
experiments have been begun. On an
area from which about half of the
understandable timber is now being
cut by the Oregon Valley Land COM
pany, two representative plots of
about eight acres each We're selected.
Each was divided in two parts in such
a way that the conditions on one-half
We're just about the same as condi-
tions on the other half. On one the
brush will be piled and burned, on the
other it will be cut up and scattered
over the ground. Here, with the two
methods being tried side by side, is
a good opportunity to prove their rel
alive merits. This fall there will be
abundant yellow pine seed so that by
next summer the results of the expert
ment should begin to show. These
plots will be examined by officers of
the forest service from time to time
If there are more seedlings at the end
of two or three years on the half of
which the brush is scattered than on
the half on which the brush is burned
it will indicate that in order to secure
the best growth of young seedlings it
is better not to burn the brush If
the experiment does turn out this way
it is probable that in this yellow pine
region where the soil is liable to dry
out and natural reproduction is poor
the brush will be scattered over the
