 The day was hcralded when six teen boxes of giant powder were ex- plodcd singly on the apex Of the range beyond the A. & A. mining camp. and the detonation was felt for miles away. The program of sports for the day included tug of war, which was contested between a team of Italian and Irish miners, the latter winning in a steady and strong pull of about fifteen minutes.

MANY CHANGES MADE
 IN FOREST RESERVES

WASHINGTON. D. C., July s. President Taft has just made con. siderable changes in national forests in Montana, Arizona. Nevada, Utah and California through presidential proclamations modifying the bound. ary lines By these changes nearly H5.OOO acres of land are eliminated from the forests, about 65.000 acres are added. and about 5s0O0 acres are transferred between two forests, while new forest is created by the division of an old unit into two.
 The net result is to bring down the total gross area of the national forests to about iS7. 100000 acres, of which nearly 27.000.0O acres are in Alaska. To a considerable ex- tent, however, the reductions, SO far as land actually owned by the gov ernment IS concerned. are apparen, rather than real. owing 10 heavy alterations in the tracts eliminated. Some 100000 acres of the national forest gross area are not owned by the government,
 The high water mark of the total national forest gross area was reach ed in 1909. when the forest bound. aries included over lo4.OO0.O00 acres. lt was then realized. however. tha, 'n making the examinations on which the presidential proclamations oreat. ing the forests were based, the work had been too rapid to insure in all cases the best boundaries. Some. times land which should have been included was left out. while at other ''mes land was taken in which was not best suited to forest purposes.
 Consequently complete over hauling and rectifieation of the forest boundaries was planned. and has been going on ever since. By successive proclamations President Taft has eliminated nearly 100000 acres. while he has added about 4,0O0000 acres.

Young Wilson entered Davidson college at the age of seventeen. After two years he entered Princeton, from which he graduated in 1879. Then he studied law at the University of Virginia. receiving the degree of Bachelor of Law in 1882.
 He received the degree of Doctor oi Philosophy from John Hopkins university in l8S6, Doctor of Laws from Lake Forest university in i8S7, and Doctor of Literature from Yale at its biennial celebration.

He occupied many other educational positions. and io 1902 became thir- toenth in the roll of presidents at Princeion, first layman to hold this office, All the predecessors had been Presbyterian clergymen.

WOMEN WIN CHANCE
 ID TRY ELECTION

PHOENIX. Arizona, July s. The ladies have triumphed in their fight to place the proposed amend ment to the constitution of the state of Arizona providing for equal suf- irage before the people at the gem eral election in November, in that they have succeeded in obtaining more than the required number of signcrs to their initiative petitions by margin of some 400.
 With the opening of the weeks endeavor, the women had petitions in the office of the secretary of state with hut little more than 300 names on them, and in order to qualify they needed 330O names. This. however, did not deter them, and they set to work to get the remaining 5000 names this week. All the departments of the cause in all parts of the state were instructed to send in all the petitions they had. while the local ladies started out to get still further names to the local petitions.
 AS result at the close of busi. ness on Tuesday, with but little more than two days work to do. the grand total had run up 10 200 or within GOO of enough to qualify. Further work was immediately start ed. with the result that when the ofiiec of the secretary was opened today the requisite number, and more, was on hand just exactly four months before the date of the geu- erai election as provided in the con stitution.
 While this was going on, the initiative as regards legislation was being invoked in behalf of the Kin ney bill The supporters of Senator Kinney of Gila, the father of the bill m the recent legislature. started "'''"'"e peutions all over the state. and they began reaching the office of the secretary of state early this week For while it looked as if they would not qualify with suf- 'ie'ent names, more than 2OOO being. required but this morning it looked rom the number of petitions re- se'ved that the adhercnts of the

Royalties, Relies.

The English royal treasures are stored in steel-lined vaults in Bucking- ham palace and in vaults of masonry. many feet thick, in Windsor castle. In Russia the imperial treasures find a secure resting place in the hermitage in St. Petersburg. The valuables have been catalogued by Count Ivan Tols- toy. In the collection are to be found some wonderful cabinets in the epoch of Catherine IT., and two superb vases in bronze which adorned the bedcham- Der of Marie Antoinette. Works Of beauty are the lockets of Potemkin and Souwarow, in form of pendants adorned with diamonds and other precious stones. The gallery of porce- lain contains a remarkable service of 1,700 pieces of the time of Catherine II. The smallest plate cost $1,200. When the great fire occurred at the Winter Palace, eighty of these pre- cious plates were stolen. Seventy were afterwards recovered, but ten are still missing, and 1t is suggested that they may be found in some prt vate collections.

eIrI Masqueradea as a Rox.

After she had been masquerading as a man for eight months, the identity of Mrs. Mary Owens has been discov- cred and she has been forced to leave the factory town of Saxon Mills, s. 0. The young woman had become engag- ed to a sixteen-year-old girl, who is broken-hearted over the revelation.
 Eight months ago, when "Oscar" Owens, his mother and young brother came to live in Saxon Mills, "he" was hailed by all as one of the finest young men who had ever come to that town. He" was a leader in the social life of the mill workers and always ready for any sport that was proposed. Soon after The" started to work in one of the mills the supposed young man met a girl worker, and within a short time 1t was announced that they were engaged. Owens told the girl that they would be married when 'he" had sav- ed up enough money to buy cottage.
 Wearing male attire was evidently not as comfortable to the young wom- an as she tried to make it seem, and, as a rest, some days ago she put on woman's garb again to take a walk. One of the policemen of the town thought he recognized the young mill worker, and her arrest followed.
