A movement is on foot which
may put Boomers Ferry on a reser-
walton and if not it will bring it
mighty close to it There is move
ment to enlarge the Priest River
Forest Reserve; and we have the
best of reasons for believing that
in making the contemplated change,
it is proposed to throw the entire
west half of the Kootenai Valley
into the reseve.
The Kootenai River is to be
made the east line of the en-
larged reserve, from the Interna-
tional Line to the Great Northern
Railway, and then the Great
Northern Railway will form the
boundary line west.
That this proposition, if carried
out, will result in great detriment
to Boomers Ferry need not be argu-
ed in these columns. Port Hill,
Standpoint, and the settlements at
Moravia, Naples, and Elmira may
also view the proposition with
alarm. One of the first fruits will
be to deter the large colony from
the East from locating at Elmira,
where arrangement are practically
made for their location.
If the consummation of this prop
osition is to be prevented, those
whose fight it is should lose no
time in combating it.
In connecting with this subject
the Hon. w. B. Hepburn has re-
Gently expressed some very pointed
views in opposition to drawing a
dead line around large areas of our
country. Among other things he
says:
"The system of drawing arbitrary
lines around large sections within
our state to be set aside as timber
reserves from which settlement is
to be excluded for an indefinite
period is not only unjust to those
who would seek homes therein. hut
most detrimental to our growth and
development as state.
Millions of acres of land in Ida
no are now because of this un.
| reasonable policy closed against the
/ settler in Kootenai and Idaho
i counties, and the growth of these
j portions of the state is thus limited
i The wealth of such a state as
J ours is estimated in a large meas
: ure by the amount of available lane
for settlement. Why should we
acquiesce in a policy that thus re
duces our available assets?
At the verv door of one of thu
most productive sections of Idaho
there is a deadline across which thu
enterprise of the pioneer and tn,
home builder may no. step. Th'

Richmond Did Not Quarantine
Against Newport News.
Richmond, Va, Aug. A Hampton spe-
cial to the Dispatch tonight says that
everything is going on smoothly there,
and the people are going about their bust
ness calmly.
Two deaths from the fever are reported
from the Home, but no new cases at either
the Home or Phoebus
In correction with the quarantine con-
troversy between Newport News and Nor
folk, the impression has gotten abroad in
some quarters thai Richmond quarantined
against Newport News. This is incorrect.
The Richmond quarantine is only against
points on the peninsula east of Newport
News. The Richmond authorities have
regarded Newport News as amply pro-
tccted. and In refusing to quarantine
against that place were sustained by the
state board of health. The Chesapeake
and Ohio road has never stopped running
either It's passenger or It's freight trains
from this city into Newport News.

Little More Learned About Lynch
ing of the Italians.


Washington, Aug. 4-Count Vinci, the
italian charge called at the state depart
ment to-day to compare notes with Act
ing Secretary Adee respecting the inquiry
into the killing of the five Italians at Tai
lulah, La.
The Governor states ,hat the grand jury
of the parish in which Talulah is stuat-
ed will meet next week, and it is expected
that the killing will be taken up by that
body Immediately if the district attorney
finds the report prepared by the sheriff
sufficient to make out a prima facie case
against the perpetrators of the killing.
Count Vinci has not yet received the re-
port Of Marquis Romano, who was sent
to Louisiana TO make a personal inquiry
into the iynchings. But the Marquis has
sent brief dispatch saying he has com
pleted his inquiry at Vicksburg near the
scene of the lynching and has secured
convincing proof th,.t the five victims were
Italian citizens.
Beyond securing informatio on the
facts, neither government has thus far
taken any action, except in the expression
OF sincere regret over the affair by the
United States, and a return assurance by
Italy that every confidence was felt thar

Atlanta, Aug. 4-The Morning News
story of Mayor Woodwards $ second down
fall was read with avidity by everybody
in Atlanta to-day who could get a copy
of the paper, and was the universal topic
of conversation among all classes of peo-
pie
The Council has taken the matter up
and a mysterious can for meeting at 4
o clock tomorrow afternoon to take ac-
tion has been issued
No one seems to know who took the In
ttiative, but all the councnmen aclnowI-
edge that meeting viii be held, and un-
less the Mayors promised resignation is
forthcoming by that time the Council
would certainly act.
What Mayor Woodward intends to do
cannot be ascertained, as he could not
be seen. He was at his office a short
while this afternoon, but soon LEFT. At
tempts TO see him at home were met with
the announcement that he was asleep and
the family did not wish him disturbed.
The facts of Tuesday nights escapade
were worse than at FIRST reported, so the
sossips say, and great emphasis is laid
upon their trustworthmess by those dis
cussing the affair. 1t is related that his
friends tried to bring him home but that
he obs tinately refused and was finally
taken TO the home of cottager near the
lake The good lady of the house was en-
joying the entertainment at the pavilion

Ing he could not remain there. His
friends towed him safely then 10 the car

collapsed.
Consolidated Brought In.
The most sensational story connected
with this whole unfortunate affair is that
the Mayor was started on his second ca
rousai by a director of the Consol dated
Street Railway Company. The reason as
signed for this is that Mayor Woodward
was violently opposed 10 that company,
and that in view of the present vicious
tuseing of hair between the rival street
railway companies in The city, they were
anxious ior new Mayor in The chair.
The Mayor was first noted in a semi

the Railroad Commission when he dfvereed
from the subject matter Of discussion and
made a virulent attack upon The Consol.-
