MONTANA SENATOR'S
The Forest Reserve Question Up For
Consideration.
CARTER AND MANTLE OPPOSE 1T
Cleveland's Ignorant and Sweeping
Proclamation Injurious to the West
New Postoffices Established.

Washington, D. G., July 2.-The
matters of chief interest considered
by congress during the last few days
have been included in the conference
report on the sundry civil appropri.
alton bill adopted the senate without
amendment. In this connection the
forest reservation question was taken
up in a discussion of an amendment
which proposed to suspend the execu-
tive orders setting aside certain areas
as forest reserves in the northwestern
states and which amendment was
stricken out of the conference report.
The matter stands as it was practi-
cally, hut with the understanding that
the orders are to be greatly modified by
the president and that the government
agents selected to administer the laws
relating to these reservations shall be
chosen from among the people IF the
states and territories in which the re-
serves lie. Both Carter and Mantle
took an active part in the discussion
and together with Wilson and Petit
grew pointed out the evils and the in :
justice that have followed upon Cleve-
lands ignorant and sweeping procla-
nation whereby hundreds of settlers
have been without warming placed
within the boundaries of timber re-
serves and without recourse Carter
stated that the large mining compan-
les preferred to pay fair stumpage
for the timber they remove from the
public domain than to be prosecuted as
malefactors. The sawmill companies
also take this view. The matter was
left with the understanding that the
secretary of the interior Will forward
the public surveys up on these lands
as rapidly as possible, excluding those
portions not properly subject TO inter
pretation as forest lands and restoring
such lands to the public domain at as
early time as possible. The free
homestead provision was also part of
this bill and the matter was left prac-
t1cally as 1t was, settlers on Indian
reserve lands being allowed a further
extension of time for payment, i. G..
until June I, 1900. It is, however,
tacitly understood that congress will
take the matter up between now and
then, with a probability that final
remission of the dues upon the land
Will be made. Our senators have made
a strong fight on all these questions.
Senator Mantle introduced an
amendment last week in the deficiency

payment of the sum of $3.50 to H. r.

Character From Sorrow.

Over and over again the old truth
comes back to us, that no man is good
for much till he has suffered great
sorrow. The baptism of pain is one of
the instrumentalities which God uses
for purging away the dross OF our ma
lures and making us fit to be partakers
OF the inheritance of the saints in light.
Not those who have escaped the fiery
trial, but those who have gone through
it and come out unhurt aAd glorified,
are to be envied God knows what is
best for us. Therefore He sends first
one affiiction and then another upon us.
Sometimes, because He sees it to be
necessary, He lifts the very foodgates,
and allows wave after wave of mis-
fortune to sweep over us. If we have
the right stuff in us, we shall be
helped and not harmed by these SEEM
ing calamities. Christian Advocate.
