Aberdeen, Wash, Feb. 5.-Aber-
deem is throbbing with interest over
the most sensational murder case
in her history Citizens who kept 81
lent as long as William Gohl was free,
through fear, are now telling tales
which cast sombre hues on his past
life and connect him with crimes
ranging from arson to murder.
Charles jacobson. formerly Gohrs
friend, but now embittered against the
prisoner because of alleged double
crosses told the police today that
Gohl started the big fire here about
eighteen months ago, by touching off
an internal machine in the Alaska
saloon jacobson said he did this
in a spirit of revenge against the sa-
loon proprietor, and others in the
block. The disappearance Of Jacob
Miller. formerly deputy sheriff. and
his wife, who left here to live in a
cabin belonging to Gohl on Laidlaw's
Island, and who have not been seen
since Is thought to be another mat
ter upon which Gohl can shed light.
Charles Hatberg met death when his
back was turned to the murderer.
This fact was established by an au-
topsy. The work of the surgeons
show the bullets which caused his
death entered the brain at the back
of the head and ranged upward. Hat

when the anchor was tied about his

some Of his ideas on the question of
conservation.
The west is just as thoroughly de-

said the senator. but as we under

and development of our natural re-
sources. 1t is waste. pure and sim
pie, to tie up these resources indcf-
nitely.
"Why. one-third of our state is in
the forest reserve. Governor Hughes
was surprised some time ago when
told him we had a forest reserve in
Idaho into which we could put the
hole of New York state and lose It,
On that land there is thousands Of
dollars worth of timber going to
waste. We want these reservations
put under such regulations as will
make them serve the needs of the liv-
ing generation of men.
Look how rapidly we are losing
possible settlers More than 10000
Americans will cross into Canada this
year looking for homes. They will
take with them an average of $1,000
