Washington, March 25.-To-day's ses-
sion Of the senate committee on the
Philippines was devoted to the eonsidera
tion Of that portion of the Philippine gov
eminent bill which relates to the lands
held by the religious orders. Members of
the commit tee generally express the opin-
ion that the provision will be allowed to
stand practically unchanged. The sup
porters of the bill said that people of all
religious beliefs in the Philippines are
united in the opinion that the friars are
a dist urbing fastor and that their lands
should be taken under government con-
troll. 1t was stated that the lands would
not cost to exceed $7,00O000.

is not within the bounds
Of the possible, therefore the best
the assessors can do is to come as
near it as they can. The actual
cash value Of mining ground is a
thing that cannot be determined
with any degree Of accuracy. If
the honest opinion OF the owner
could be made the basis-that is,
the owners opinion not intended
for the ears Of the assessor-the
values, with rare exceptions, would
be fabulous, but the difficulty would
be in getting the taxes on such val
nations. A mine today may be es-
timated, by distinguished party,
at great value, and tomorrow or
next day, would not sell for six
bits, and an apparently valueless
mine today may be classed as bo-
nanza tomorrow. The portion Of a
mine that can be seen cannot be
taken as reliable basis on which
to estimate the amount or value
per ton of the unseen ore. If the
estimate is to be based on the sup
posed value of ore in sight, miners
will keep but very little in sight.
The past production Of a mine can
form no true basis for anything like
a correct estimate OF what the fut-
ure production will be. The price
that has been paid for mine lie no
evidence that the amount paid rep
resents its actual value. 1t may
soon produce much more than was
paid for it, and may never be dis
tinguished for anything more valu-
able than record Of assessments.
The past value of mine is known,
but it's present or future value is
based mostly on uncertainty and
guess work. The assessors will
find, when they start out to assess
mines at their "actual cash value"
that they have a hard problem con
fronting them. They have not agreed
on what shall be the basis Of "actual
cash value" nor will they agree
when the actual work Of assessing
begins. Each will have his own
way of arriving at the "actual
cash value"

A PRACTICAL VIEW.

Speaking of the withdrawal from
settlement for forest reserve pur-
poses Of another tract OF over
LOCO, 900 acres Of land in Flat
head county, Montana, the Kalis-
pell Bee says: "More than one
half of Flathead county has now
been withdrawn from settlement
by the creation of forest reserves.
These vast areas are to remain for
all time uninhabited and unim-
proved. The people who have
gone into these outlying districts
to build for themselves homes, in
the belief that they would one day
be surrounded by neighbors and
schools, must give up their homes
or live for all time in solitude. Had
this policy been followed since the
beginning Of the public land sys-
tenn, some OF the northwestern
States. like Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, would today be a part of an
undeveloped wilderness, instead of
being rich and populous common
wealths."
This argument is on the lines
stated by the FREE PRESS when the
reservation scheme was first breach.
ed. Elsewhere in this issue OF the
FREE Press will be found an inter-
view given in Washington by F. A.
Fem, superintendent of the Idaho
forest reserve, in which it is clearly
outlined that the policy Of the
grafters is to quietly freeze out all
the present residents OF these res
ervations by restrictions and regu-
lations which will soon make the
location Of q mining claim, the di-
version OF running stream or the
cutting of stick OF timber for min
ing purposes penitentiary offense.
If the lands suitable for settlement
were left open to homeseekers, and
an effort was made to seriously de-
velop the country, there might be
no very serious objection to the Gre
alton Of the forest reserve system.
But the present method is most
pernicious graft, and was originated
more with the design and purpose
OF affording political graft for a
lot of political pap-suckers than
with any honest design of conserv-
ing the forest timbers. Every eff
fort is to be hereafter made to in
duce settlers to vacate their hold.
ings as far as possible, and the lands
are to be held as an uninhabited
Wilderness policy which, il
pushed to its limit, as it bids fair
to be, places bar upon home
building over wide areas of the
public domain, in which the state
OF Idaho and Idaho county will be
the principal sufferers.

Rumors of a change in the
Northern Pacific time card where
by trains will run direct from
Spokane to Sites are again being
circulated and this time there
seems to be some truth in the re-
port. Such a change would be of
great benefit to Grangeville and
the whole Clearwater country.
Every since the construction of
the railroad to Sites the schedule
has been such that the nine thous-
and people living on Camas Prairie
and the adjacent mining camps
have received practically no bene-
fit from the road and in many in
stances it has proven an actual
detriment. 1t takes just al long
to get our mail as when it was
hauled by stage over Craig's
mountain and instead of daily
service it is but six times "A week.
Freight is just as long on the road
and in most classes the cost of
transportation is equal or gr ater.
Passenger traffic is equally handi-
capped and, with the unjust ex-
pense OF car fare from the Potlateh
to Lewiston and return and de-
lay over night at the latter place,
the people of Idaho county are but
little if any better off than when
the stage coach was their only
means of travel. Most of these in
convenience would be great y
mitigated or entirely removed If
trains run direct from Spokane to
Sites. Parties having business
in Spokane conld make the round
trip in two days instead of four.
mail would be one day earlier. and
all business conditions in the rich
est section of Idaho would be ben
Gifted. The large prospective inn
migration into Thunder Mountain
will no doubt have considerable in
fluence on tie proposed change as
such people search for the most
direct route and endeavor to avoid
all delay. We believe our ditizens
should use every reasonable effort
to secure this proposed change and
it the matter is properly presented
to the railroad company there is
little doubt but what our elaims
would receive recognition.
