Cutting Government Timber.

A good many men in this
neighborhood are daily and
hourly violating the laws of
the United States relating to
the cutting of timber on the
public domain, and subjecting
themselves to the penalties
therein specified. At the last
term of u. S. court in Boise
City thirty persons were in
dicted, tried and convicted for
violating these laws in differ
ent parts of this state. The
U. S Marshal for Idaho has a
force of deputies employed
solely in looking up this class
of cases, and it is only ques-
ton of time until Camas Prai-
RE receives its share Of atten-
ton from these officials, and
then there will be a gnashing
of teeth on the part of those
of our citizens who are sub
jectiEg themselves to the in
dignity Of arrest, and the ad-
ditional expense of a trial and
subsequent fine. Even now
the myrmidons of the U. S.
marshal, and the special agents
of the General land Office may
be among us for the purpose
of securing testimony against
the violators of the law, and
every stick of cordwood that
is cut on the public land may
cost the offender fifty dollars.
The laws are very liberal, and
no man can say that their re
quirments are harsh. All you
have to do is to advertise your
intention of making applica-
ton to the Hon. Secretary of
the Interior tor permission to
cut timber of such variety on
such a specified tract of the
public domain, and then to
forward your application, with
publishers affidavit of publ
cation, to headquarters a.
Washington. A dozen may
apply to cut timber on the
same tract, as the department
will not encourage monopoly
by granting exclusive privi-
legcs to anybody. The laws
of the United States should
certainly be respected, or the
violators thereof will speedily
be brought up with "round
turn" We speak by the card.
Be warned in time.

of the opposing candidates to
securean expression Of opin-
ion from the editor of the F.P.
favorable to the man of their
choice. This we have invari-
ably declined to do, partly be-
cause the F. P. is not a politi-
cal paper, but mainly for the
reason that the contest is sim
ply a republican factional fight
in which democrats have no
more business to interfere than
they would have to participate
in a republican primary cleo
ton and help one faction pack
its convention with delegates
obnoxious to the other faction.
1t is part of our code of po-
litical ethics that democrats
have no right to interfere in
affairs which belong exclusive
ly to the republicans, or vice
versa. 1t was not good politics
for the democrats in the legis-
lature to vote for any republic
can for U. S. senator: and in
doing so they have created a
precedent that will sooner or
later vex the democracy of this
state. Dubois and Claggett
are both republicans, and who
ever is seated will at all times
and under all circumstances
vote with his republican col
leagues in opposition to the
democratic policy. The demo-
cratic blunder in voting for
Claggett is not so apparent at
present as it will be later on.
For the sectional view Of the
case we care nothing. If the
north" has been euchered out
of senator, the solid republi-
can delegations in the legisla-
ture from the five northern
counties must have consented
unto the euchreing. There
were no northern democrats
in either branch Of the legis-
lature, and if the north" was
sold out the selling was done
by republican legislators elect
ed by republican votes. The
republican voters of the north
are the only ones who have a
right to feel aggrieved, and
they are perfectly competent
to redress their own griev-
arces without democratic help
Our own private advices
from Washington are to the
effect that Dubois will surely
be seated; but we shall know
more about it when the con-
test is ended. Meanwhile, we
cannot see what advantage the
democrats expect.to gain, and
we think they were badly ad-
vised when they took a hand
in a republican factional fight.
