Destruction of Idaho Forests.

A dispatch from Wallace, Ida, says:
The abandonment of the Northern
Pacific narrow gauge line between here
and Old Mission because the timber
lands tributary to it have been de-
nuded Of their forests calls attention
to the growing scarcity OF timber in
the Occur d'Alenes. Primarily a
heavily timbered region, its forests
were almost destroyed before its
mineral wealth was discovered.
Before It was decided to abandon
the narrow gauge the Northern PACING
sent man up the north fork to ascer-
tain the true conditions. He found the
available supply exhausted for 40 miles
above the junction of the two forks.
Below there it is all gone as far up the
mountain sides as it can be reached.
The superintendent of one Of the larg-
est mining companies in the Occur
d Alenes estimated the present con-
sumption b. the various mines at l.
400 900 board feet per month Add the
amount for various uses other than
mining and the total viii exceed 20O0,-
coo feet per month with steady in
crease from year to year.
This amount the Occur dAlene
drainage can no longer furnish.

GAVE BACK THE RING.
One of the Pullman Twins Released
His Betrothed

Chicago, Nov. 12.-Formal announce
ment is made of the breaking of the
engagement Of George NJ. Pullman and
Miss Fayette Oglesby. The news of
Miss Oglesby's engagement to one Of
the Pullman twins came as a great
surprise to the friends of the young
people two years ago, and the rumors
concerning the date of the wedding
have been countless since that time.
When the sudden death of Mr. Pullman.
ST., startled the city a short time ago,
Miss Oglesby was at the home of her
parents. Ex-Governor and Mrs. Rich
ard j. Oglesby, at Ell1hart, Ills. For
the last week or two the young lady
has been in Chicago, the guest of Mrs.
Pullman part of the time. Miss Oglesby
has just returned to Elkhart, and sim
ultaneous with her departure comes the
announcement that Mr.. Pullman had
proposed to release her, and that she
had accepted the offer. Friends of the
Oglesby family are stout in their decla-
rations that the disinheritance of the
young man had nothing whatever to
do with the rupture of the betrothal
Vows.

Gambling at Seattle.

The poker games in Seattle are being

Post-Intelhgencer. Bets of SIS do not
cut much figure, and nothing is thought
of pots running UP to $500. The talent
has been given great shaking up,
however, by Fatty" Nickerson, the
boy gambler. Until few days ago he
did not, cut much of a figure in the
gamblers world; now he is acknowl-
edged to be one of the most successful,
scientific and cool-headed players who
ever contributed to the percentage of
the house in a stud-poker game, or the
kitty of round-table, old-fashioned
draw poker game. He has won $4,000
in less than two weeks, but yet he
looks just as boyish as ever, and is
ready to give those who have con-
tributed to his bank account any re-
venge which they desire. Nickerson S
biggest winning was made at one
sitting, lasting 4S hours. Some say he
quit winner $4,000, While others place

Significant Features Found in Clear
ings--Wool and Iron.
New York, Nov. 12.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow win say:
One of the most significant features
of the business situation is found in the
continued heavy weekly totals of bank
clearings, that for the six business days
ending Nov. II, amounting to 81. ga. 00O, =
0o0, an increase Of 10 per cent over the
preceding week and Is per cent COM
pared with the second week of No
vember, 1885, When business began to
revive sharply in speculative lines.
Railroad gross earnings show
smaller as comparisons begin TO be
lions one year ago. Total October
earnings of 1871 companies operating
1000 miles Of road aggregate $50, 464, :
339. a gain of s., 000 coo over September
and 3 per cent over October a year
ago. This gain compares With gains of
Il per cent il September and 12.5 per
cent in August over spending per-
i0ds in 1896. The Pacific, southwestern
and central western roads make the
best showing.
Other favorable features are the con-
tinued firmness of and activity in wool
iron and steel. The heavy output of
iron and moderate reduction of stocks
last week suggests the improbability Of
the advance in prices of iron and steel
next year, which so many have hoped
for.
Cold weather in the central west and
northwest has stimulated demand for
winter goods, particularly clothing.

DOES CIVIL SERVICE GASP ?
Many Think So, But the Commission
Says, Nay!
LooDhole Exists Whereby the Law
ing Up in Some Departments.

There is feeling in the downtown de
partments that the Civil Service Commits
sion has lost its grip but this sentiment
is not shared by the Civil Service Commits
sion.
The Civil Service Commission intends 10
put up strong fight against the head OF
the department who tries TO prove that the
civil service law S dead letter, or pack
number, OF anything other than a bul HaTk
against political pulls, and the defender of
the rights OF the Government clerk.
When the attention OF the commission
was called last evening to the matter OF
the dismissal of twenty-one special agents
of the General Land office because of lack
of funds, one Of the commissioners said
that he thought Secretary Bliss would re-
store the men dropped Just as soon as the
appropriation became available. II The
Secretary should attempt TO appoint other
people TO the positions, suchan appointment
should be declared Illegal, aud the Comp
troIler would not allow their salaries
Under the provisions OF The civil service
act IL is a question whether the Secre-
tary would not have the right to look
around for Old veterans who had served
before as special agents and then appint
them and style their appointment re
instatement.' But then, say the folks at
the Civil Service Commission, these men
could not perform the service required Of
special agent. For that work man
should be young, vigorous, healthy and
robust, and only Il small percentage Of
the veterans of the late war could stand
the work and exposure
1t is probable that the Secretary of the
Interior viii use rule nine OF the civil
service act freely. That rule relates TO
reinstatemcnts. II sets forth that a
vacancy in any position which has been
or may be hereafter classified under tie
civil service act, may, upon reputation
OF the proper officer and the certificate of
the commission, be filled by the reins tate
ment, without examination, of any person
who, within one year next, preceding the
date of said requisition, has through no
delinquency or misconduct been separated
from a position included within the Glassi-
fled service at the date OF said requisi-
ton and in that department or office, and
that branch OF the service in which sLch
vacancy exists
1t is provided further that, subject TO
the other conditions of these rules, any
pefSill w liO StIA tl tut tii
service of the United States in the late
war of the rebellion, and was honUIaDly
discharged, or the widow OF any such
person, may be reinstated without regard
to the length of time he or she has been
separated from the service.
This is the loophole in the law through
which the Secretary may squeeze III thous-
ands OF his fellow-partis ans, provided
they were honoraby discharged from the
Army or the Navy
This is the loophole in the law, which
the Civil Service Commission is watching
most diligently, and it is the point at
which will occur the coming clash between
the executive departments and the Civil
Service Commission
