BILLION FEET Of LUMBER
LAND OFFERED FOR SALE

WASHINGTON, July 16-WiUh the
purpose of contributing to the develop
ment of Northwestern California the
department of agriculture has offered
to sell about one billion feet of timber
in the Trinity national forest in that
state This is the largest output of
the national woodlands ever offered
for sale by the government at one
time.
The Humboldt &, Eastern Railway
company, organized for the purpose OF
building a road from Eureka to the
Sacramento valley, crossing Trinity
forest, informed the government that
the construction of the road depended
largely upon tonnage to be obtained
from national forest timber.
In order to encourage the building
of the road the department made an
investigation of the forest and decided
to sell all timber which can be safely
cut and removed on the north and east
sides of Grouse creek and of Hay
Fork of Trinity river, covering an area
of 200, 200 acres. The successful con-
tractor will be allowed ten years fol
the cutting and removal of the tim
Der and the minimum price which will
be accepted will be $1.50 per thou
sand feet for all timber taken during
the first five years and 50 per thou
sand feet for the remainder.
In making announcement of the sale
Associate Forester Potter today said
that the government would not permit
a monopoly by one company of all the
timber in a given locality or place 1t
in private hands for speculation on the
prospective rise in stumpage values.

SAYS WAR WITH
JAPAN CERTAIN
Japanese Writer in Osaka Main
iChe Declares Country Should
Make Positive Statement
ASSOCIATED Press1

VICTORIA, B. c., July 16.-That
war between America and Japan can
not be avoided is the theme of a spe-
cial article in the Osaka Mainiche
received today by the Empress OF
China. The Japanese writer says
1T is now being anticipated in dip
lomatic circles in general that in fu-
ture, when the relations between Japan
and America become more strained
which will certainly result from a
continued collision of interests, the
ministry will have, to accomplish the
painful duty of informing the other
country's government that the result
of such collision will be the outbreak
of war. 1t will be pitiful, indeed, if,
even on that occasion, Japan adheres
to diplomatic compliments and states
that no collision will take place. Why
do the Japanese not boldly and open
ly say that there will be a collision
If they think that the Americans will
believe the Japanese assertions that a
collision will never take place they
will only deceive themselves, certain
ly not the Americans"
The writer contributes very lengthy
article, in which he credits American
sympathy with Japan during the wal
with Russia to a desire to curry favor
with the Jewish element of America
and after detailing American naval
progress he urged rapid development
of the Japanese navy

CENSUS TO BRING
ABOUT STATE ROW
Increases in Population Involve
Increase in Apportion-
ment to Congress
MAY MAKE RATIO GREATER
The SparsIey and ThickIy Settled
Parts of Country Are
Bound to War
MAY MAKE RATIO GREATER
Associated Press1

CHICAGO, July ia special from
Washington says: The new census
promises to precipitate political and
sectional controversy of vital interest
to the people. Based on the population
it represents, congress will have to de-
termine whether the house of repre-
sentatives shall be numerically en-
larged, which will make the body more
unwieldy than it is now, or whether
the aggregate of persons entitled to a
member of congress shall be increased,
which will mean that the house will
retain it's present membership and pos
sibly may be reduced.
Some states, if the latter plan is
adopted, will lose representation in con-
gress through diminution of popula-
tlon during the last ten years, while
others are certain of an increase, due
to growth in the number of their in
habitants. The present ratio of ap-
portionment is one member for every
$4,000 inhabitants. The present house
consists of 391 members.
If congress were to adopt for the
present census the ratio of apportion-
ment observed in 1900, the house of
representatives would be increased by
sixty-eight members. This would bring
the total membership up to AGO. 1t is
not expected, however, that this ratio
will be maintained.
1t is expected that when the appor-
tionment bill is considered, the number
of the members of the house will be
fixed at one for every 225,000. This
would mean that the house would re-
main practically at it's present figure.
A hard fight undoubtedly will be
made against the adoption of such a
large ratio. especially by sparsely set
tied portions of the country, and by
those who fear that emigration further
will reduce their population.
The more thickly settled states prob
ably will raise no objection to a propo-
sition of this kind, and indeed would
be inclined to favor it, since it would
insure a relatively larger representa-
tion.

FIND MUCH LOOT
Wagon Load of Goods Identified
by Merchants as Having
Been Stolen
GANG COMPOSED OF THREE
Woman Thought to Be Leader of
Trio That Worked the
Bay City Stores
GANG COMPOSED OF THREE
tAssociated PressJ

OAKLAND, July 16.-Using three
quiet rooms in an apartment house at
743 Eighth street as base of opera
tions extending to stores of San Fran
cisco, Stockton, Sacramento, San Jose
and other cities, trio of expert shop
lifters is believed by the local police
to have carried on one of the most
successful and systematic robberies in
the annals of crime. The trio, includ-
ing one woman, a young and beauti-
full blonde, were arrested this morning
by w. f. Kyle and Thomas Gallagher,
detectives, on information gained by
Detective ST. Clair Hodgkins, acting
chief of the bureau in the absence of
Captain Peterson.
Mere than a wagonload of loot was
taken from the hiding place by the de-
tectives and is at the police station.
Much of it has been identified as
coming from H. G. Chappell, Kahn
brothers and other local stores, while
there are articles from San Francisco
and other cities about the bay and in
the interior of the state. The plunder
consists of goods enough to stock
small emporium, running from silk
stockings to cameras, beaten brass art
ware, silVerware, cut glass punch
bowls, loving cups and hardware.
No charge has been placed against
the alleged shoplifters, but it is thought
they will be booked today or tomor-
row, probably on warrants gained by
local merchants who have identified
their goods.
Mrs. Ella Harkins is apparently the
leader of the trio. She is, or claims
to be the wife of the second member
of the so-called gang, H. Harkins

STATE DEPARTMENT SEEKS
KNOWLEDGE OF BURGHEIM
Reports Show Condition of Un-
rest at Managua

WASHINGTON, July 16.-On the
strength of press reports, the state de-
partment today telegraphed American
Consul Moffatt at Bluefelds to ascer-
tain whether DR.. Clarence Burgheim
of Houston, Tex, is held prisoner by
the Madriz forces. The report was that
DR.. Burgheim had been compelled to
treat the wounded at Bluefelds Bluff.
Evidences of the condition of unrest
prevalent in Managua were received at
the state department through the
translation of public orders issued by
the military governor in the month of
June. one of these orders prohibited
private individuals from leaving the
city without written permits from the
authorities. Persons disobeying this
order were classed as revolutionists.
Another order prohibited gatherings
in private houses and in public estab-
Iishments after o'clock in the evening
except by permission OF the authorities.

ROADS MUST OBEY LAW.
Cabooses and Way Cars Must Be
Equipped With Platforms.

In accordance with the state law,
passed at the session of 1909. requlr-
ing railroad companies to equip ca
booses or way cars with end platforms
and platform steps, a few.of the roads
are making the necessary improve
ments, while others are apparently
waiting for the railroad commission
to remind them of their duty.
The law went into effect January l.,
and already the railroad commission
has made, some Investigations and
found that certain roads have failed
to comply. There is a penalty of not
less than 500 or more than $500 for a
violation of this law, and Chairman c.
l.. Glasgow, of the state railroad COM
mission, has warned several companies
that unless they take steps to remedy
conditions at once. IL will be necessary
for him to start proceedings against
them.
1t is necessary that the steps and
platforms on the cabooses and way
cars shall be of substantial construc-
ton and approved by the railroad
commission. More inspections will b'
made at once and all of the com
panies will be required to live up t.
the requirements of the new law.

PLAN TO CHANGE PRIMARY
SCHOOL MONEY DISTRIBUTION
State Educational Department Plans to
Put Cash Where II is Needed
Will Urge Amendment to
the Present Statute.

That the state department OF public
instruction desires the aid of school
officers in the various school districts
OF the state 20 secure an amendment TO
the statute under which the primary
money is given 10 schools. changing
the distribution OF moneys now made
on the basis OF the number of pupils 10
a distribution basis on the needs of the
respective districts and cities. is the
declaration Of f. a. Keeler, assistant
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton.
Discussing the primary money ques-
ton Keeler said that last year the
primary funds distributed amounted
to about $4,000. 900. AS the amount
required To pay the teachers was So
600 900. unfortunately so many dis
tricts throughout tho state have so
few children of school age that the
money apportioned them is insufficient.
while other districts have far more
than they need.
Such is the case i'm the Frankenmuth
district in Tuscola county, Westphalia
township, Clinton county, and other
districts where there are a large num-
Der of pupils.
The total primary money in such
funds placed by law where 1t can only !
be used for paying teachers was in
March, 1909, over 100000 Each |
year will add to this immense sum of |
idle money unless steps are taken to
prevent. Mr. Keeler suggests that a
law be passed providing that districts
having a surplus sufficient for hiring
teacher for two years, receive no mon
" at the next distribution of the pri-
mary fund. Superintendent of Public
Wright has for some time
advocated the same means. There are
, great many districts in the state that
do not receive onc-quarter enough
money TO pay their teachers. and the
would be much relieved If

POLITICS WILL BE warm
IN LAURlUM THIS YEAR
Indications Point TO Spirited Contests
for Several of the Officers at Elee-
ton in March-Set Date
for Caucus.

With the spring election only a little
over eight weeks away. the residents
of Laurlum are manfesting an UNI
usual interest in the affairs of their
community. Indications point to a
spirited contest over several of the
positions which will be vacated after
this term
At the next meeting of the council,
the dates for the village caucus will
be decided upon and probably some
arrangements will be made for the
election. 1t is likely that the date
selected will be in the latter part of
February. 1t will not be necessary for
the council to name the board of reg
istration and inspectors of the election
at the February meeting, as the March
meeting comes thirteen days before
the election and action taken then
would meet with all the requirements
Of the law.
1t is rumored that an effort is being
made To prevail upon well known
Red Jacket businessman. who resides
in Laurium. to oppose President w. j.
Reynolds for that office this spring.
Although nothing definite can be
learned relative to this report, it is
likely that the present administration
will have opposition of some sort
Mr.. Reynolds has made a very salts
factory official, %nd although he has
made no announcement, his friends
expect him to run again.
The terms of Trustees O'Brien, WV
ian and Torreano expire this year, but
il is understood that all will seek re-
election. 1t is reported that opposi-
ton will develop for all OF these po-
sitions later.
Treasurer Frank Bagglore's term
Of office expires this year, and as he
has already filled the position two
terms, he is no longer eligible. 1t
is likely that large field of candi-
dates will appear for this position.
Clerk Martin Prsk will be a candi-
date for reelection, and as he has fill
ed the position only one term, is not
likely to have opposition.
