NO MORE MARTIAL LAW
GOVERNOR HUNT PORCLAIMS THE
FACT OFFICIALLY.
Gives Reasons for Thinking Occur d
Alenes Now Will Observe the
Idaho Laws

Boise, April 13.-Gov. Hunt ha
abolished martial law in the Coeul
d'Alenes. Martial law was declared
by Governor Steunenberg on Nav 4
1899, following the destruction of the
Bunker Hill concentration during the
sanguinary riot on the 29th OF April.
The actions Of the state following the
institution Of military rule in the
! Occur d'Alenes are SO well known as
to render repetition unnecessary.
GOV. Hunts proclamation saws, in
part:
pom assuming office | felt il nv
duty first to investigate conditions in
Shoshone county. 1t was my object
to observe whether there was still
danger of further disturbance and riot.
My investigation has convinced me
that the citizens OF ShosiIone county
are today law abiding and law-loving,
united in their desire for peace and
frowning on any element that would
bring again trouble and anxiety and
suffering INTO peaceful and prosperous
homes.
Martial law is the spirit of force
necessary in its employment to protect
life and property, and applicable at
any time for that puprose. Its opera
tion in time of peace, after danger and
peril are over, is repungsnt to our
form of government and menace to our
institutions.
"Our constitution safely places the
administration of law in the hands of
the civil authorities, there to remain
during their ability to maintain it.
New officers have been elected and are
in active performance ,of their duties
since January, 1901, unopposed bv
violence of any description and out.
spoken in their ability to maintain
order.
Wherefore, in consideration of the
premises, |, Frank W. Hunt, governor
OF the state of Idaho, do, by virtue of
the authority vested in me by law, de-
clare that marital law in Shoshone
county shall be and is hereby
abolished, this proclamation to take
effect and be in force immediately /
upon the signing thereof"

The growing popularity of the

the fact that it meets so perfectly the

ENGLAND AGAINST
AMERICAN MEATS
Dressed Beef for Army No
Longer Bought Here.
WASHINGTON INQUIRIES ABOUT IT
Packers Alleee 1t viii Make Little Difference.
England Explains That II Is to
Protect Her Industries.

Chicago, April 12.-Arthur Meeker
general manager Of Armour & Co. D., this
morning confirmed the news that the
British government has decided tc
discontinue the use Of American
dressed beef in the army.
"The contract for dressed beef is not
very large, "said Meeker, "and the
new rule will have very little effect
on Chicago packers. We send great
quantities OF canned beef to the Brit.
ish army in South Africa, and will
continue to do so, as the contemplated
change does not affect canned beef
The people OF England consume 300,-
OOO, 900 pounds Of our dressed beef an
nually. The proposed restriction will
have no effect on this trade.
Another packer explained that Eng
land has been buying cattle in Argen-
tina and shipping them to South
Africa, finding it cheaper.
Washington's View.
Washington, April l2.-The action
OF the British government excluding
dressed beef except the home article
for the use of the army, is believed
here to be predicated on the tying up
at New Orleans of the recent shipment
of horses and mules, designed for South
Africa, not as retaliatory step, but
for the purpose of protecting the gov.
ernmenttaga inst annoyance and delay
in the shipment of food supplies. The
department of agriculture as vet has
received no official information from
England, and it is not known whether
it is the purpose of that government
eventually to exclude all American
meats, dead or alive. 1t is feared how.
ever, this instance is step in that
direction.
To Protect Their Industries.
London, April l2.-At the British
war office today. the director. general
Of contracts declared that the order
relating to American beef was Issued |
in the interest of British and Irish |
agricultural stock raising industries.
The U. S. Wants to Know.
Washington, April l2.-At the re.
quest of the agricultural department,
secretary Hay today cabled Ambassa.
lor Choate at London asking him to
ind out why American meats are to be
hut out from British army contracts.
The Cabinet Discussed 1t.
Washington, April l2.-The cabinet
odav discussed the beef question, and
greed that the action in the New
orleans court in tieing up the mule
hipment was mistake. Attorney
ieneral Knox will probably render a
ecision pointing out the proper course
0 be pursued.

PRESERVE THE REDWOODS
CommendAbIe Effort to Save Great
Trees From Destruction

Boston, April 13.-The recent action
Of the state of California in appro
priating $3.50, 900 to purchase tract o.
redwood forest near Santa Cruz for a
public reservation has aroused in.
terest in every part of the country,
perhaps nowhere more than in Massa.
chusetts, where for years an intelligent
body OF tree-lovers have urged the nec-
essity of some such step if any part OF
the redwood lands was to be preserved
to future generations in Its original
glory.
AT the Arnold Arboretum in this
city the opinion is expressed that the
Santa Cruz reservation should be con-
sidered as only the entering wedge
other and larger reservations being re-
Quired if really adequate and typical
portion of one of the most remarak BILE
forest growths in the world = by all
odds the most remarkable in this coun-
try lis to be saved from the ravages
OF the lumber dealer.
Prof. Sargent's Views.
The director OF the Arboretum, Pro-
fessor Charles S. Sargent, whose work
in charge OF the forest investigation OF
the tenth census and, later, as head OF
the committee of the National Academy
appointed to consider the dangers aris-
ing from the wholesale destruction of
the western timber lands, was the
direct cause OF such national forest
reservations as We now possess, is not
however, to minimize in the
slightest the Importance OF the action
which has been taken. A recent state
ment of Professor Sargent sums up
what has been done as follows:
The action of the California legisla-
ture, which is largely due to the efforts
OF the Sempervirens Society. a body Of
organized specially to ac-
the preservation of some part
of the redwood forest, is matter OF
national rejoicing. The redwood tree
(Sequoia sempervirens) is one of the
wonders of the world. Its first cousin,
the so-called Big Tree of the western
slopes Of the Sierra Nevada, surpasses
it IN girth OF stem, but no other tree
in the world attains larger size and |
no North American tree grows so tall "

says in part: Taking the three salient
features OF the state-the Puget Sound
country, the Cascade mountains, and
the Columbia valey-Mr. Lyman
points out the actual and potential
resources possible for reclamation for
the use OF man, pointing out how
nature, by volcano, glacier and torrent,
has prepared a soil Of such marvellous
fertility that the story of its produc.
tiveness excites the incredibly of the
listener For descriptive purposes he
divides the state into four zones, each
extending north and south. Speaking
of the first, the western one, conspicu-
Gus for its lumber production, he says:
During May of last year orders for
80, ,000, 900 feet Of bridge stuff and ties
were placed in Washington by railway
companies of the cast and middle west.
Most remarkable to eastern readers
is the yield of an acre of WASHINGTON
