printed as result of this resolution.
He also introduced bill prohibiting
the creation of any forest reserves
within the state Of Idaho except by
act of congress. This bill has been
favorably reported from the public
lands committee Through his eff
forts largely the department has de-
cided not to create any more reser-
vations or enlarge any more reserva-
tons already created until congress
takes final action.
PUBLIC TIMBER LANDS.
The general land Office has issued
circular prohibiting the cutting or
taking of timber from the public
lands for any purpose. This has
worked great hardship to our set
tiers, and particularly our miners.
Mr.. Wilson has endeavored to get
this rule modified and has contended
that the act of congress relative to
the subject did not authorize any
such rule or construction. A decis
ion on the subject is shortly expected
FIVE PER CENT BILL.
This is bin intended to equalize
the payment to the several states I'M
der the different acts of congress
heretofore passed with relation to
public lands The house public
lands committee has made a favor
able report on the bill. 1t will cause
a direct payment in cash to the state
of Idaho for school purposes of more
than $50, 600.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
He has been actively interested in
the matter of the improvement at
The Dalles, Oregon, so as to secure
an open river from northern Idaho to
the sea. He arranged hearing foI
the northwestern delegation before
the house rivers and harbors com
mittee on this question, and acted as
spokesman for the entire delegation
before this committee. Assurances
have. been given that when the gen.
eral rivers and harbors bill is passed,
which will be next winter, liberal APP
preparations will be secured for The
Dalles improvement, the Clearwater,
Pend O'Reille, Kootenai, Snake, and
a survey authorized for the Spokane,
with view to ultimate improvement
PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.
He has secured the passage
through the house of six private pen
sion bills for Idaho veterans, which
is three times the average of the diff
ferent members. Other bills are on
a fair way to passage, some of them
being favorably reported from the
pension committee.
He voted against the gold stand
a. d bill, the Porto Rican bill, and in
favor of the antitrust bill, and has
literally carried out the instructions
and wishes of the people which he
represents on all of these great ques-
tions His course since entering the
54th congress until now has been en-
tirely consistent on all of the great
public questions which have been un-
der consideration, which is in strik-
ing contrast to many other western
members and senators, who formerly
advocated these matters, but have
since deserted their people on these
great questions.
