Cutting Timber on Government
Land.

We understand that several parties
in Elko county are cutting timber for
fuel, on Government land, without
complying with the laws of Congress-.
All who are engaged in this work are
running the risk of being prosecuted
by the Government aud put to heavy
expense, both as to money and time,
beside taking serious chances of be-
ing sent to the penitentiary.
Several prosecutions OF this kind
were instituted In the United States
Courts Of Idaho few weeks ago and
resulted in the conviction OF John
Murphy and Hugh Smith and their
sentence to the penitentisry for the
period OF eighteen months. The de-
tense set up by these mon was that
the land, from which they took the
timber for fuel, WRs within the North
ern Pacific r. r. grant and that they
took only the dead wood. The court
held that this made no difference, so
long as the land, from which they cut
the timber, was unsurveyed and not
definitely plated.
Our advice, to all parties engaged in
this business, would be to spend few
dollars in making the proper appIica-
ton. TO the Secretary of the Interior,
for permission to cut timber for fuel
on Government land and thus avoid
all danger OF prosecution. 1t is the
cheapest and best plon.

Come, all my dear friends, now, and

Who spend the long Winter in
books Of each kind.
For its study all day and half OF the

II the teacher don't stop it, we sure
ly will fight,
Now every evening we get to our books
We don't study hard you can tell
by our looks.
Now when we see coming the boss of

Each one in the room is as still as a
mouse,
We act like we're working as hard as
can be; '~..... =...
But when she goes out Obi you betl

And when it comes to an Arithmetic
rule, ~
It's worse than to stick to a herd
buc!limg mule.
1t is better to chop rattling wood
Than after our supper to study
awhile. ~
On Monday, the day we look for the
mail,
II my girl does not write, it makes
me turn pale,
The letters don't come and then / get
blue; a.. ~.
Fer I know some fellow is sticking
like glue. :
On Tuesday we wish that the evening
would come;
For the fun and the pie we're sure
to get some.
But the blamed parsing it makes mo
get left
And then my poor stomach has lost
all it's heft. 49,. -
We all on each Sunday go up on the
hill,
Young Walter, EstellS, Miss Ester
and Lill. -
We start with courage, but fall in the
snow, ~
And the rest OF the week, with a
stiff neck We go.
You will find it the same throughout
the whole week,
SO that on Friday our brains are
quite weak.
II you think my song is going to kill,

Among the changes in the tariff which
the Mckinley bill has made, that upon
live cattle is especially noticeable. The
old rate was 20 per cent. ad Nalorem, the
new rate being ten dollars per head on
all cattle more than | year OLE. Per
haps the fraincro of this item had in mind
importations frum Canada. or possibly
high priced bulls from foreign ports, but
he could scarcely have remembered that
nine-tenths of AL our imports OF cattle
are from Mexico. An average herd of
Mexican cattle of the age specified would
not be worth. delivered on this side of
head, while the duty would be ten dol
lars per head. In other words, the i'm
porter of cattle from Mexico could sell
his cattle. when he has delivered them on
this side of the line. for about seven
tenths enough to pay the duty. This ap-
plies to an average herd of mixed cattle.
A herd of all beeves would be worth
much more, while a herd of all young
females would be worth much less.
When this provision went into effect
it caught many Texans with hundreds
of thousands of cattle in Mexico. where
they had gone for p~asturage. The men
were many of them ruined because this
tariff prohibits them from seeking
United states markets, and they have
been obliged to rely on the Mexican
markets which have never been very
good and are now much depressed
owing 70 United States prohibition.
Texas has been for many years over
flowing with cattle. and many of her cit
liens have been in the habit of going To
Mexico with their herds for pasturage,
bringing back the becves and paying 20
per cent. adj valorem. but at present "A
