A Land Grabbing Scheme

A recent issue of. Fremont county
paper contains an innocent looking
notice bearing the title Forest Reserve
Lieu Application" This particular no.
tice is probably all right, but it brings to
mind ONE of the biggest land grabbing
schemes worked for many years. To the
present time, Idaho has not much suf-
fered, but operations have been begun in
this state, and unless the present law be
radically changed thousands of acres of
the public domain will pass into the
hands of spectators to the exclusion of
bona fide settlers. The scheme is worked
almost exclusively for securing timber
lands, and the trouble is that upon its
face the law looks fair and just The
idea of the law is that any one owning
lands which are included within forest
reserve, may upon deciding such land
| back to the government, take other lands
i'll lieu thereof i'll any part of the United
States where there are public lands, sur.
veyed or unsurveyed. The establishment,
of forest reserves is of comparatively re
cent date, therefore it happens thai
within reserves in California and some
other states there are thousands of acre
of land owned by private individuals
These lands were never valuable excep
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1900-05-21

for the timber which grew upon them.
That timber has all been cleared off and
sold in the form of lumber, shingles,
poles, etc. so nothing remains but the bar
rem land which is valueless. But the
title is i'll the individuals who acquire
it from the government, and the law OF
1897 provides that any one having such
title may upon surrendering it to the
government, receive title to an equal
amount of land elsewhere.
Now comes the scheme. Big lumber
ing concerns have bought up these de-
nuded and valueless lands within the
forest reserves of California and other
states for mere song, and they are turn
ing them back to government and receiv-
ing in lieu thereof the right to go upon
other lands. For example: A man goes
down to California and buys 10000 acres
of worked-out forest reserve land at 10 or
Is cents an acre. He then deeds it back
to the government and receives what may
be called "land scrip" which enables
him to come up into Idaho and secure
10 600 acres of the best lands in the state.
As there are hundreds of thousands OF
acres of good timber lands available, this
scrip" is at present used almost exclu-
sively for securing timber lands. 1t may
easily be seen how, if this scheme is not
checked, the best timber lands OF the
state will pass into the hands of these
land -grabbers. The law was designed to
recompense poor settlers whose lands
might be included within forest reserves,
but it is being used for very different
purpose. The people of Idaho should
call the attention of their delegation in
congress to this matter.-Caldwell Tri-
bune.

Thomas Jefferson, / beg OF you to at once
retrace your steps and be content with
the advocacy of "just principles only. l
do not ask you to drop the money ques-
ton nor to drop bimetallism, but | I'M
plore you to drop I6 to and the imam
cial plank of that fatal Chicago platform.
If you do not you will again wreck the
party as we'll as yourself.
You are now the national leader of the
democratic party. Naturally you desire
to retain such leadership. You led the
party to defeat i'll 1896. If you lead 1t to
defeat again in 1900 your power will be
gone and your political star will set. The
local state leaders will then breathe an
grily upon you, and the great democratic
masses will do little less than curse your
obstinacy.
All the great men in the party are to-
day urging you to drop the Chicago plat
form or, at least, to modify it. This de-
sire is not confined to the east alone by
any means. In Iowa, your adjoining
state, the most prominent man within its
borders, Hon. Horace Boies, its ex-Gov-
ernor, is daily begging the leaders, almost
with tears in his eyes, TO drop the folly
of 1896. This is what he says in the clos
ing paragraph of recent article from his
pen published i'll the Des Moines Leader,
the largest and most influential demo
cratic paper in that state:
ITO the democrats of my own state l
want especially to appeal in the hour OF
what seems to me extreme national peril.
May not indulge the hope that feeling
which know is entertained by many OF
the best men of our party, that some con-
cession to democrats who cannot indorse
the financial plank of the Chicago plat.
form without qualification of any kind
ought to be made, may in some manner
find expression when our state conven-
ton meets, and i'll this way at least con-
tribute mite toward the success of the
democratic party in the nation and
thereby the preservation of this govern
ment as our fathers founded it F."

NEW YORK. March 26.-The operations
for foreign account in today's stock market
we're resumed in tremendous volume on
the opening OF business. On balance these
transactions resulted in the purchase of
over $4,000 shares of the internationally
listed stocks
These purchases were again the feature
of the days dealings They were attended
by rapid advances in virtually all the
stocks in which they were conducted.
There was also very large increase on
local commission house business. and the
days aggregate footed up very large
total. With the completion of the foreign
buying there was naturally some decrease
in activity and moderate recessions in
prices. but throughout the day the deal
inss in the railway list were characterized
by a remarkably strong undertone. The
realization OF profits also was heavy. as
was TO be expected. but the selling on this
account was readily absorbed by the in
creased outside interest.
1t is an old established Wall Street say
ing that there is little news in bull mar
ket. The causes governing the days deal
ings at large are familiar enough 10 every
one devoting much attention TO current
financial topics. There was indeed very
little actual news bearing upon either par
iicular stocks or the general market. \
large number of railway earnings for the
third week of the month and for other
periods came TO hand today. and they were
almost uniformly excellent showings. The
money market was easy throughout the
day, rejecting the conditions disclosed in
