Senator Hetfeld:
UNITED STATES SENATE, }
WASHINGTON, D. q.
January 10, 1900. }
ASSESSOR AND TAX COLLECTOR,
Rathdrum, Idaho.
Dear Sir:-It is proposed to create
a new forest reserve in the counties OF
Kootenai and Shoshone which, l
Judge from the map, is described
as follows: Beginning at or near a
point on Fourth OF July canyon some
where near the N. w. corner of Up.
40 Range ! w. B. M, running about
Is miles due north, thence Is miles
due east, thence about Is miles due
south to a point near the forks Of the
Occur d'Alcne rivers, thence about Is
miles due west to place Of beginning.
About four flfths Of the territory be-
ing in KOotenai and about one fifth
In ShOshOne counties. have sent
you a map of Idaho which shows this
proposed reserve in red ink. 1t also
shows the proposed changes in the
Priest River Forest reserve.
Now wish you would consult with
other people who are interested in
this matter 10 your part of the coun-
ty and let me know, at the earliest
possible moment, whether or not
there is any objection to the new re-
serve or the changes in the old one;
what the objections are, ii any. and
how many people will be harmed by
the changes in the old, and the crea-
tion of the new reserve. Write me
fully concerning the whole matter.
Yours very truly,
HENRY HEITFIELD.
On the same date Mr.. Buckle re-
ceived map from the Senator show
ing the proposed extension OF the
Priest River reserve which Is Identical
with the one published 10 The SILVER
BLADE some time ago. The new re-
serve as outlined by the map sent by
the Senator does not come as a sur
prise to the citizens of this part of
the county. 1t has been known here
for some time that the creation OF a
reserve in this part of the county was
under consideration by the Commits
sioner Of the General Land Office. 1t
has been stated in the columns of this
paper that the creation of this reserve
was recommended by certain republi-
can politicians who have an ambition
to serve the nation in the capacity Of
superintendent Of this very valuable
tract OF land. Assessor Buckle has
replied referring Mr.. Heitfeld to the
numerously signed petitions that have
been sent from this county through
Representative Wilson to the COM
missioner Of the general land Office
protesting against the extension of
the Priest River reserve and inform.
him that the same objection that
were raised to it also applied to the
new reserve.

THE creation of a forest reserve
as outlined by Senator Heitfeld's
letter would not work great hard
ship on Kootenai county as but
two townships Of the. land en-
braced in it are surveyed. This
little patch of ground, fifteen miles
square would, no doubt, if reserv-
ed, regulate the rainfall in the Pa
louise country and on the Rath-
drum prairie, so that no irrigation
enterprises would be needed. OF
course there is no timber there
now, nor may ever be, but then, the
Northern Pacific is given such a
good excuse to exchange mineral
land, to which they are not emit
tied, and rocks and canyons, and
scenery sublime for Al timber

The bodies of two Kootenai
county volunteers who lost their
lives in the Philippines almost a
year ago arrived in San Francisco
on Thursday. 1t is fitting trib-
ute to the brave volunteers of this
great republic that their remains
are brought tenderly back to the
land for which they died and rev.
erent laid to rest. No matter what
her other faults may be, America
does not forget her dead-those
who perish in behalf of the nation.
We trust the remains OF James r.

citizens may have opportunity to
honor the dead as they did the liv-
ing on their return several months

The schools OF Kootenai county

according to the Auditor and
Treasurer's report, received dur
ing the past year total OF $4I,-
Sac. 80. This is an increase of
$5,48I.71 over the amount received
last year, and an increase Of $I1,-
725.I5 over the amount they re-
ceived in 1897. There are two
reasons for this large increase.
One was on account of the large
amount of license money collected
by the sheriff, one-half of which
goes to the school district from
from which it is collected.
The second is the rate-5o
cents on the SIoo, the rate for
former years has not been decreas-
ed, while the valuation of the
property of the county has largely
increased. The average number
OF months OF school Tor the various
districts last year was less than six.
With the increased apportionment
there are but few districts that will
not be able to hold school for nine
months during the year. There
are 81 school districts in the coun
ty at the present time which EN-
ploy rs teachers. If each distric

billie with the intention of lynching Joe
Rolla and another negro arrested for COM

asked that a military company be sent
at once to the scene. Instructions were
Immediately issued to put Company e.
