Miss Havernick and Miss Krout-
niger left Grangeville for Lewiston
the other day in buggy and with
a single horse. The horse was to
all intents and purposes gentle
family animal that could be driven
by lady at all times, but it has
been said, "put not your trust in
princes" and it is to be presumed
that this occasionally applies to
horses, for when the ladies alighted
somewhere between Westlake and
Waha to pick huckleberries and
take kodak pictures, and left the
animal united, they firmly believed
that when they returned they
would find the good and faithful
horse where they had left him. But
here is where they reckoned with
out their host, for the horse be-
coming frightened at something,
ran away, completely idemolishing
the buggy and leaving the young
ladies in a most unhappy predica-
ment. They believed for time
they would have to walk to Lewis
ton, but fortunately two gentlemen
happened along who drove them to
Waha, from which place Mr.. Hav-
ernick was telephoned and he i'm
mediately dispatched conveyance
for them.

counted for.

of people who do not even to.
day thoroughly understand
just what their timher-cutting
rights are. Major Glenden.
ing, superintendent of the Bit.
ter Root forest reserve
has received the follow.
ing instructions from the com.
missioner of the general land
Office that seem to indicate
very clearly just what the citi.
zens' limitations are in this
matter. The commissioners
instructions are as follows:
"Referring to the provisions
of the act of June 4, 1897, for
the free use of timber, as regu.
lated by paragraph II, page
IL, of rules and regulations
governing forest reserves, you
are advised as follows:
"Any person authorized by
the said act to secure forestry
reserve timber for his own in.
dividual needs may procure it
through a saw.mill operator or
other person acting as his
agent direct, he should first
confer or communicate with
you directly, or through the
nearest forestry officer, desig.
mating the location, amount
and value of the timber pro-
posed to be cut, the place
where and the purpose for
which the said timber will be
used; stating what. saw-mill
or other agent, if any, will be
employed to do the cutting,
removing and saving, and
pledging that no more shall be
cut from the reservation than
he needs for his own use on
his own land or claim, and that
none shall he sold, disposed Of
nor used on any other than his
own land or claim; and guar
anteeing to remove and safely
dispose of all tops, brush and
refuse cutting, beyond danger
of fire therefrom.
The bona fide settler and
miner, each acting in his indi.
vidual capacity, is not pre-.
cluded from receiving or saw.
ing or otherwise handling the
timber for that settler or miner
provided, the sum charged
therefor is exclusive of any
charge for the timber itself,
and is no more than a reason.
able sum to cover time and
labor expended and all legiti.
mate expenses incurred in saw.
ing or handling it. The charge
cannot be paid with any part
of the timber, or with any
other timber taken from any
public lands. :.
"The stumpage valuation is
the value of the timber in the
tree, and it is determined by
the locality and size of the tim.
Der, the commercial use for
which such timber is sought,
the demand therefor, etc.
THE said provisions for the
free use of timber contemplates
individual use only. There.
for, mining corporations, lum.
Der companies, and any organ
ization engaged in extensive
business enterprises requiring
vast amounts of timber, are
not entitled to any of the bene'
fits thereof.
Residents of towns or vii
lagos within or near a forest
reservation, having railroad
facilities and other convenient
access to saw.mills and lumbe,
yards where lumber and fuel
can be procured by purchase
are not entitled to the benefits
of the provisions of the law fol
the free use of timber"

MAKE AN ORE EXHIBIT n. ?. ENGINEERS HERE
More High Officials Visit the Metropo.
lis Of CamaS Prairie.

From Saturdays daily.
Grangeville is getting to be the
Mecca Of distinguished railroad Of
ficials nowadays. Among the ar
rivals this morning were Messrs.
McHenry, chief engineer, and Be-
der, division engineer, both of the
Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany. These gentlemen came up
with the presidential party which
took a look at Camas prairie from
Cottonwood hill yesterday, as an
nounced in last evenings DAILY
PRESS, and they were sent over
here to view the country at close
range, inspect the condition of the
crops and make inquiries on num-
ber of points of material impor-
tance for the company to know.
During their brief stay in town
they were shown around by Mayor
Wax and inspected the terminus of
their survey and the depot ground
which our public spirited and old
time pioneer George Schmadeka,
proposes to donate to this company.
Both gentlemen expressed Them
selves freely as being highly pleased
with the location and active busi-
ness appearance of our town and
assured us that Grangeville was con-
sidered a cardinal point in the
company's operations in this Sec
tion.
Asked when the actual werk of
construction of the N. P. branch
to Camas prairie could be looked
for, Mr.. McHenry replied that the
contract would have been let be-
fore this but for the fact that they
were not satisfied with the grades
from the river. 1t seems, how
ever that the Cottonwood creek
and Red Rock route has been def
nitely decided on, and contracts
are likely to be let at any moment.
The gentlemon left before noon
to join Engineer Russell and party
who left Denver for Red Rock this
morning to engage in additional
survey work at that point.
