The True status.

A short time since the Union made
allusion to the fact that the Land De-
partment had rescinded the order of
June q in reference to compromises
and payment for cutting timber on the
public lands, and drew the inference
that hereafter timber could be cut in
the Blue Mountains without danger of
prosecution. We did not see how a
Discrimination could be made in favor
Of the Waila Wala Land District.
Since then we have arrived a. a con
custom as TO the true position, which is
rs follows: The laws are ia full force
in relation to the cutting Of timber up,
on the public lands the same as ever.
Rnt the act Of last Winter authorizing
the entry aud purchase of timber lands
which was made applicable to Washing
ton territory, though no, to Idaho. OBJ.
viates the necessity of making scom,
promises between the government and
timber men in Washington territory
Blu. instead permits the timber men tt
purchase the timber lands from which
they can Cut al libitum from the land,
so purchased. But it they cut upor
lands not purchased then they mus
suffer the penalty withou. any compro
mis-, while il Idaho NC cannot pur
chas, and hence We eau have the bene
fil Of the compromise.

their lal or, We aGst acknowledge that
ours is Indeed promising a d pros
porous future. Like prolific crops the
fences are creeping all over the land.
But short time 40 and rs far as the
csc could reach was the uninhah;ted
rrai,ie. To day i. astonishes even the
daily traveller 10 see the wide spread
impro emeuts 50 rapidly creeping over
the land not only 10 our immediate.
but 10 our neigbborin- counties. But
there is a complaint that the merchant
and busine man has not kept pace
with this rapid and steady improve
ment in farm, orchard and garden. Tn,
SUI all grsneries in almost every section
are groaun. with their burdens from
the late harvests, and the supply is now
calling ont to the demand, bat the de-.
mand, though great, is not ready to
receive it. The farmer who has ex.
pended all his available capital 10 the
periecting Of his late harges. has now
his wealth in grain and other crops,
and, though rich in thi- respect; he is
almost a nendicant to the demands upon
him for those uecessaries for which
grain and other products Of the farm
are not exchangeable. Oar prospects
are bright, but our immediate ncce4si
lies are, ready and approachable mar
ket for our grain.
