ColOmbians Still

Despite the opinion expressed that the

Masters, American vice consul at
Cartesena. Colombia. will prove fruit
less, the Colombian legation last night
issued the following statement: The
Colombian authorities are doing and
will do all In their power TO further
the investigation. The nun upon whom
suspicion fixed at first brought forward
an alibi that he was in jail at the time
Of Mr.. McMaster's death. The authors
Of many crimes committed In populous

DEFY THE EXPLORERS.
Vast Unknown Region In Western
Brazil and Australia.

Vast Unknown Regions In Western
Brazil and Australia.
Lying within the basin of the head
waters Of the Amazon river in western
Brazil are three regions much larger in
urea than all the New England states
which are still outside the pale of our
knowledge. This large territory lies
between the parallels Of 10 degrees
south latitude and degrees north lati-
tude and the meridians of 60 degrees
and 73 degrees west longitude. Not
country of South America has been ac-
curately defined and fully explored.
The great difficulties with which the
scientist must contend in mapping this
continent in the equatorial regions 'ac-
count for the large areas still unchart.
ed. 1t Is the hardest section In the
world to penetrate. Dense forests. a
deadly climate inducing the worst
scourges of disease, as yellow fever.
cholera, beriberi, ETC., the fierce wild
beasts, poisonous serpents and savage
tribes are some of the obstacles to be
encountered in penetrating the Amazon
country.
The entire central portion of Austria
LA is an unknown tract save for d.
rect line in which the transcontinenta
telegraph system has been laid. The
greatest difficulty was encountered IN
stretching the wires across the desest
waste, and the small strip thus opened
up is all that is known, of the heart OF
the island continent. 1t is supposed to
be a vast sandy plain. interspersed
here and there with salt lakes to vary
the horrible monotony. Hundreds OF
daring men have tried to penetrate Its
mysteries, and most Of them have paid
for their temerity with their lives.
Then there is the "NeyerNever' land.
IN western Queensland. into which
many have gone and few have return

tending for hundreds Of miles Inland

Progressives In Idaho.

Progressives in Idaho are be.
coming active in advocacy of plac-
ing in the field a ticket of presi-
dental electors, according to
reports from Spokane. 1t is
claimled by many that a majority
of the republican sentiment in
Idaho is pro- Roosevelt, but tha,
the movement has been without a
leader up to the present time.
Neither of the old parties select
ed their presidential electors at the
state conventions, but left them
for later nomination. The demo-
Gratis left the election in the hands
of the state committee. 1t is re-
garded as probable that the repub.
lican state committee will also
select the regular republican cleo
tors, but as the state committee is
thought to be pro- Taft, the electors
will probably be Taft men.
1t is believed that the Idaho
progressives will have to call a
state convention to select their
four electors, in order to comply
with the law governing primaries
and selection of candidates for
office.

Voters Must Register. !.

1t is necessary for every person
entitled to vote at the primary or
general election, and intending to
vote, to register. The registration
books will be open, and voters
may. register at the places pre-
,scribed 10 each precinct on each
Saturday from the first Of July "to
and including The Saturday pre-
ceding the genera election. Pro-
vided, that no res :js.ration shall be
permitted between the close OF the
Saturday precedi lng the primary
election and the f Jst Saturday OF
September follow ng."
In accordance v l;th this regula-
ton, Saturday, July s. was the
first day upon whict |, voters could
register. This date and thsse
following Saturdays are the only
ones prescribed for, registration,
before the primaries although in
most precincts the cou rtesy of the
registrars will permit voters to
perform this duty on other days
than Saturday, between the dates
named. .,A,s.,,.

National Primary Needed.

A national presidential primary
law would put stop to all this dis.
gusting performance at the national
political conventions. A national
reviewing board. to canvass the re.
turns, say five men, OF at most one
from each state, would meet and
tabulate the peoples wishes. The
only trouble with this is that it does
not eliminate the possibility of demo-
cratic interference at the republican
primary, or republicans voting with
the democrats for purposes of thwart.
Ing the wishes OF the party. This is
the weak spot Ia the primary law.
There Is no way now to protect a
party from outside interference.

Killad Him With Kisses.

M. de Langy was a courtier OF tne

colt so irritated certain ladies' OF the
court that they resolved to infict upon
him a novel punishment. Feignlng one
dav to be overcome by the beauty OF
his face and person. they fell. upon MIN

wrotched dandy until he cried Tor
mercy. Deaf to his entreaties, the Ia

sndeed was but a sorry weakiing. In

clutches broke a blood vessel and died

CHANGES IN FOREST AREA
President Taft Has Eliminated
Seven Million Acres.

Il
President TAFT has made consider
'alle changes 10 national forests In
Montana, Arizona. Nevada. Utah
and California through presidential
IproclamatIons modifying the bound
Iary lines. BY thesesgc changes nearly
!27osQoo acres o. land are eliminated
from ne forests. about $4,000 acres
Iars added. aud about IS. 900 acres are
tfausferred between two forests,
while ! new forest ls created by the
division of 40 old unitinto two.
The net t-result Is to bri6R down the
total gross area OF the national forests
to about l87, 400, 900 acres. OF which
nearly 27,000,O00 acres are 10 Alaska.
To considerable extent, however,
the reductions, SO far as land actual.
ly owned by the government is con.
cerned, are apparent. rather than real,
owing to heavy alterations 10 the
tracts eliminated. Some $4,000, 600
acres of the national forests gross
area are not owned by the govern
tnent.
The high water mark Of the nation.
al forest gross area was reached 10
1909. when the forest boundaries 10.
cluded over l94, 900, 600 acres. It
was then realized. however. that 10
making the examinations on which
the presidential -proclamatlons Gre
ating the forests were based the
work had been too rapid to insure 10
all cases the best boundaries. Some
times land which should have been
included was left out, while at other
times land was taken in which was
not best suited to forest purposes.
Consequently complete overhaul.
ing and rectit1cation Of the forest
boundaries was planned, and has
been going on ever since. BY sue.
cessive proclamations President Taft
has eliminated nearly 1900, 900
acres, while he has added about A.
900, 900 acres.
