1t will be seen that the object is
simply protection of forests for the
benefit of the people. 1t would
seem that all classes would heartily
support a policy which so manifest
ly is for the public good. But
special interests are in opposition
as they are restrained from whole
sale exploitation of one of Our great
and valuable natural resources.
There is another phase of this
subject that vitality concerns the
agricultural interests of the arid
sections. 1t has been ascertained
that the destruction of forests along
mountain streams injuriously ef-
fects the water supply. Not SO
much as to the aggregate water
flowing in a given season as in the
manner of its flow. In localities
from which the timber has been re-
moved, snow melts rapidly and ex'
hausts itself in early spring fresh

Fuller was called up by tele-
phone to come down and stop it.
Yates showed fight and struck the
officer a severe blow in the face.

Respectfully,
MANY FARMERS.

THE TRIBUNE is unable to say
what, if any, bonds Messrs. Grif-
fiths and Shaw hold. They pur-
chased none from the District. The
bonds were originally placed as
follows:
w. c. Bradbury. $50, 1000; How
ard Sebree, $4,000; First National
Bank, $50 Commercial Bank,
$4,000; Citizens State Bank, Nam
pa, $1,000; Duke M. Farson &
Co., Chicago, $4,000. The bonds
are negotiable and may circulate
freely. IF Messrs. Grifiths and
Shaw own any, they probably pur-
chased them in the open market for
purposes of investment, or may
have received them in compensa-
ton for services rendered to some
of the original purchasers.

A Hungry Bird and a Tragedy of

A big brown and white bird came
sailing up the trout stream, his long
wings stretched far out 10 right aud
left. He dew slowly, for lie was look
ing for something-something that he
wanted very much. he was doing his
family marketing. Up in the top OF
big pine tree mile away his wife was
sitting on nest full OF eggs, and it
was both his duty and his pleasure TO
find supper for her Suddenly he
stopped short. He had caught sight Of
the thing for which he was searching
a dusky, shadowy shape, with an out
line Ike that OF a submarine torpedo
boat. lying moyeless in the clear water.
For lust an instant be seemed TO hang
poised in the air, but It was only long
enough to change the direction OF his
motion: then down he went with
rush and a swoop.
The brook trout saw him coming and
tried to dart away, but 1t was too late.
With mighty splash the osprey
struck the stream and went clear I'M
der and out OF sight, while the water
boiled and surged over him. He could
not see for the cOmmOtion about him,
but his aim had been true, and his out
stretched feet touched slippery,
Shiny, wriggling body that was just
beginning TO gather Roadway.
Quicker than n wink his toes closed
about II and his sharp talons sank
deep into the trout's flesh. Then up he
came, rising ont OF the stream like

ing the water from his feathers In a
shower OF flying drops. Every thread
OF muscle I'm his wings and breast was
