PLANS TO PROTECT
BIG TIMBER TRACT
Sixteen Million Acres in the
Northwest to Be Patrolled
This Season.
(National News Associa tion)

SPOKANE, Wash, April S.-Sixteen
million acres of land in California Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho and Montana,
containing more than 100000, 900, 900
feet of standing timber will be patrol
led and otherwise protected against
fire this season under the direction of
the Western Forestry and Conserva-
ton association, which, with it's allied
organizations, expended $970,000 for
this work in 1910 and 1911.
At the annual meeting of the asso-
citation in Spokane it was also decided
to enlist five states in forest protec-
ton, urging each to take steps to Sc
cure portion of the federal appropria-
,tion made possible by the Weeks law,
which gives the government 100000
to distribute over a period of three
years in the work of timber conserva-
ton. The maximum amount for each
state is $4,000 year, provided the
state itself expends an equal or larg-
er amount of it's own funds for fire
fighting purposes.
Chief Forester, Allen drew attention
to the benefits the states could derive
from the fund, the primary purpose of
which is to provide protection for the
forest slopes at the head of navigable
rivers showing also that only $4,000
of the appropriation was used by the
states last year, when Oregon received
$4,000. 1t is estimated that fully $7o,-
900 will. be available for this district
this year.
Albert l.. Flewelling, of Spokane,
who was reelected president of the as
sociation, said among other things in
his annual address that so per cent
of the merchantable things in the
United States is included in the five
intermountain and Pacific states; that
IS per cent of all the shipping by wa
ter from the Pacific coast states is
timber and that rs per cent ofsall rail
shipments eastward is timber and that
IS percent of the business east of the
Cascade mountains is timber and lum-
ber. IA

USES SCISSORS TO
KILL HER HUSBAND
Death of Editor of a Sporting
Paper Is Charged to
Former Wife.
tNational News Association)

NEW YORK, April S...The coroner
today held without bail Mrs. Mary F.
Snyder, whose husband, Walter j.
Snyder, editor of Sports of the Times,
died yesterday from scissors wounds,
sustained at the hands of the woman,
who claims the stabbing was acciden-
tai.
A strange case of mingled love and
tragedy came to life at the coroner's
court, today when the police learned
that many women had figured in Sny-
der's life before he had met the de-
fendant and even after they had be-
come acquainted, but besides the fact
that Snyder had died from several
thrusts of the scissors in his breast
the police were at a loss to account
for several strange features of the
case. They had no information except
to what the woman furnished and she
clung steadfastly to a declaration that
Snyder's death was accidental The
prisoner told the police that her maid
en- name was Mary Karns and that her
home is in Morristown, N j., where
she met Snyder in 1899. Six years
later, she declares, they were mar
ried. The police learned from another
source that the woman and Snyder
had quarreled ana had separated in
the meantime, and that in 1908 he mar
ried Bertha Yeager of Detroit. In the
following year, the police say Snyder
eloped with Helen Caufield, the daugh-
ter of well-to-do contractor in New
Britain, Conn. Miss Caufield was Sny-
der's stenegrapher at the time of the
elopement. The Detroit woman is said
to have secured a divorce in 1910, then
Snyder married Miss Caufield. Snyder
lived during 1911 in this city with an
other woman, the police said, but they
did not reveal her name.
The authorities learned that Snyder
and the woman who is under arrest
took up their abode in History Hall
last January. Snyder was we'll known

1t Is Probable, However, An

About May First.

The date for the annual Cleaning
as yet, but it is likely the date will be
some time next month Plans for the
event are already being made by the
Aftermath society and the Civic I'm
proyement League. At the meeting of
the Commercial club this evening the
matter of appropriating a small sum
of money to assist in this work will
be broached. Last year the CONNER
cial club contributed s25 towards the
expense of the owrk
Mrs. Phariba Stephens, head of the
Civic improvement League, stated to-
day that following the action of the
Commercial club the committee which
has charge of the work will request
the board of public works to assist
The board of health will also be asked
to give it's aid. 1t is probable the board
of works will order the street COM
missioner to place on extra wagons
and men in order to remove rubbish
piled In the rear of back yards and al
leys.
The streets will be given a general
'scrubbing" on Cleaning Up" day, if
the plans being made now are carried
out
Last year some of the shops were
shut down on cleaning up day in order
that the employees could clean up their
yards. However, this is not believed to
be good plan, inasmuch as the shop
men are therefore obliged to lose a
days work
The children in every school in the
city will be requested to assist in the
work again this year. Committees of
students in the various schools will
be named within a short time, whose
duty it will be to supervise a portion
of the work.
Health authorities in the city declare
that the custom of many persons to
empty cuspidors into the alleys should
be prohibited. They say that the con-
tents are left there for some time to
rot and that this Spreads germs.
1t is said that the kitchens and back
rooms of hotels and restaurants will
be examined, cleaned and screens plac-
ed where they are needed.
