Elsinore. Jan. 12.-Fourteen Garth
quake shocks have been felt here in the
last two days. two on Tuesday night
being so severe that it shook down
chimneys. destroyed merchandise on
the store shelves and raised such gem
eral havoc that today number of In
habitants are leaving for more solid
ground. The auakes Tuesday night
occurred at and Sis o'clock respec-
lively, both of them OF lengthy dura-
tion and intense.
Six distinct earthquake shocks oc-
CURED Monday the first coming
shortly after G o'clock in the morning
and the second half an hour later.
School was dismissed. A recess was
taken at the school at 11:45 because OF
O severe shock and was finally dis
missed for the day at 1.25 o'clock
in the afternoon because of another
severe shaking. Other heavy tremors
came at 2:30 and o o'clock.
These shocks were not felt, with the
exception of the first. at Richfeld and
Marysvale, but a short distance away.
1t Is q puzzle to all why the quakes
are confined so distinctly to this one
point. The shakes caused a general
alarm as the memory OF the great
disturbance OF eight years ago is still
vivid in the memory OF local inhabi-
tantS.

VICTIM OF ROBBERY
FAILS TO APPEAR
L. R. Capman, Who Met Woman and
Parted With $500 Is Somewhat
Shy to Prosecute

On the right of Dec. IA, a man giving
the name OF L. r. Capman. was stop

colored woman. When the pair sep
arated Capman was shy the sum of
$3.50. He made complaint to the police

she was positively identified as the
woman who robbed Capman.
The woman was placed under heavy
bonds and the case was set for hear
ing this morning in Judge Bowman's
court. but there was no hearing for
the reason that the complaining wit
ness could not be found. While Cap
man was positive the Cross woman
robbed him, he lacked gameness in
appearing in court against her and tell
ing the circumstances of the robbery.
The authorities claim he has left the
state, preferring to lose the money
than to testify in the case.
Judge Bowman announced from the
bench that he was getting tired of
complainants falling to appear to
prosecute and he said that in the
future he wanted witnesses of this
character placed under bond to appear
when the case Is set for trial. Also,
nersons under arrest and who have
furnished bail, he wants them to ap-
near In court when the cases are set

INCOME TO STATES
FROM THE FORESTS
Oregon and Washington to Divide One
Million Dollars This Year and More
Promised for Next
(specinl to Thc NcWs.l

Portland, Or, Jan. 12.-Gifford Pin
chots policy in establishing forest
reserves in the west has been grilled
by the western states themselves and
the national forests have been declar-
ed to be bars to progress because they
held large tracts of timber in virgin
state. denying to all the opportunity of
development. But there is another
side to the picture that is not general
ly understood. This is the revenue ac-
cruing to the state where the timber
is grown when sales of reserve tim
Der are made to lumbermen.
For example more than 81 900. 900
will be divided between Oregon and
Washington this year and will be used
in building roads and schools through
out the two states as the result of sales
of timber on government reserves. The
forestry law provides that 25 per cent
of the stumpage revenue shall go to
the state where the forest is cut.
Last year sales from forest reserves
in the two states aggregated 10000
600 feet and the revenue to the two
northwest states was over 100000.
Sales of reserve timber are constantly
on the increase and this year pro-
posals have been made for the pur-
chase of about 650,000.000 feet. The
average price for government stump
age this year is about 81 per thou
sand. Some cutting will be for more
and some less but all will average
about this figure. This means the
usual 90 per cent that comes to the
two states VIII bring in n revenue OF
not less than s1.200,000 from sales
already in sight. The total may be
Increased largely before the year is
over.
With the coming years the timber
sales from government reserves will
largely increase, 1t IS expected. and
the consequent funds for state roads
and schools will be much larger In
future. As the money derived from
these sales is OF direct benefit to all
the people of the states where the re-
serves lie. II cannot be said the loca-
ton of large tracts OF timber by
the government that are withheld
from private ownership are without
benefit to the state.
