Rights Of the Homesteader First.


Senator Hepburn in a recently
published interview sets out what
he considers the true policy in the
adjustment of the forest reserves OF
the state. He regards the rights
of the homesteader of importance
and holds that the resources be-
long first to The home maker and
the resident. In discussing the
matter Senator Hepburn says:
Cone OF the most important
questions taken up was the adjust
ment of the forest reserves of the
state, to the end that the bound
aries might be established by the
conditions existing on the ground
and not fixed by map, when those
looking after these matters have
no knowledge of the exact condi-
tions. The boundaries should
conform with the natural water
sheds from which water flows to
the irrigated regions of our state,
and to the end that no land in
Idaho may be tied up or with
drawn from settlement.
II am working for the extension
of the survey of government lands
so that as much as possible can be
made available for settlement. l
regard the rights Of the home
maker as first Importance, rather
than those of the people who come
into the state to enjoy the resources
and then carry the products with
them beyond the state, but it is
robbing the state of that which
should go to the home maker and
the resident. My efforts will be
directed to securing such develop,
ment of the stale resources that
will leave within the state the
largest possible portion of the
profits obtained from such develop
ment, whether it be of our mines,
timber or other resources"
In touching the proposed repeal
of the timber and stone act Sena.
tor Hepburn said he was strongly
opposed to such action. Il believe
In rigid endorsements OF this law,
50 as to prevent the requirement
of large tracts of the timber lands
through straw entries" SAID he.
THE greatest prosperity of our
timber lands can only be derived
from the individual ownership
within the limits of the law and
and the establishment of saw mills
in such sections that the in
dividual can sell his timber to the
mills or have it cut by custom con-
tract. This system would destroy
what in effect amounts to timber
trusts and what enables the con-
troll of the market, either for the
purchase or the sale of our timber
lands"

Bank Of England Notes.

From the London Chronicle.
The first forger of a Bank Of England
note, who was tried and executed In 11oS,
must have tried his hand at twenty
pound one, for none other was issued from
the date of the banks foundation, In 1894,
until 1859, when ten-pound notes were is
sued for the first time. In 1898 fve-pound
notes were first issued and from 1877 on
ward notes to the value of one and two
pounds were issued. In 1923 all notes be-
low the value Of Ave pounds were with
drawn by law. The smaller notes would
never have been allowed to become current
but for the crisis in 1897, caused by the
landing Of some French troops in Wales.
An invasion was instantly feared, and the
consequent run upon the bank made 1t
necessary to suspend cash payments ex-
cept for sums under one pound-a course
that was legalized by parliament In the
restriction act. Cash payments were par
TALLY renewed In 1917, and all restrictions
were finally removed in 1921. It is curious
that the foreign custom of handling money
in small notes should have been initiated
by the threat Of a French invasion.

A "Bush" vagabond.
From the London Chronicle.


A strange human document has just
ne ssed away in an Australian hospital. His
pen name was "Scotty. the Wrinkler." and
his real one Philip Henry Mitchell Now
bray He was in early manhood an oh1cer
Of the Royal Artillery In Australia he
became professional swagman, "sundown-
er," or tramp, one of the vagabonds who
spend their lives wandering about from one
squatter's station to another, and pick up a
precarious livelihood by doing odd jobs.
''Scotty' had studied this nomadic popula-
ton very closely, and contributed many
realistic stories and sketches of their ad-
ventures and habits to the Sydney Bulletin.
He might have earned handsome income
with his pen if he could have settled down
to regular work, but he could not shake
off the rowing disposition Many young
fellows who, for one reason or another
generally drink-lose caste in the old coun-
try, rise and recover themselves in Aus
tralia and develop into successful colonists.
Others sink into the army of irreclaimable
bush vagabonds.

MEN RAN WILD,
And Were Frozen While Lost in Vast
Northwestern Forest.

And Were Frozen While Lost in Vast
Northwestern Forest.
From the Toronto Mail.
A frightful story comes from Kaminis-
tiQue, a station twenty miles west of Port
Arthur Ont. on the Canadian Pacific rail-
road. Four Englishmen arrived there
Thursday and started to walk to the camp
of Kelly and Close. some twelve miles dis
tant where they were to get employment.
Two of the men, for some reason. returned
and took the train to Fort Williams; the
other two had dinner at Charles Greer's
camp, some four miles en- route to Kelly and
Closes. They left there on their way. but
never reached their destination.
Sunday some men In the employ OF Charlee
Greer, while teaming between the camp and
Kaministique. saw two men In the bush.
They were without shoes and apparently
demented. Their clothing was torn and
when discovered they yelled like Indians,
and made off In the woods.
The police at Fort William were telegraph
ed for, and went out. but returned without
doing anything to locate them, ana they
were left running wild in the woods with
out clothing in zero weather. Searching
parties from the camps were dispatched,
and one of the men was found badly frozen,
but still alive. Though in a terrible condi-
tion, and his clothing nearly gone, he was
brought to Fort William, and taken to the
hospital, where 1t was ascertained that his
name was Burns. But slight hopes are en-
tertained for his recovery. The other man
was found yesterday afternoon in the wood,
and through cold and hunger their minds
became unbalanced, though when founo
they were within a few miles OF ctviilzatlon.
The dead man has not yet been identified.

Women's Clubs in England.


So far as I know New York is without
any representative Of this class-no club,
that is, which aims at being to a woman
what a club Is to man. In London there
are seven or eight well-established, select
and admirably managed clubs of this de-
scription-the Alexandra. for instance, the
Empress. the Victoria, the Green Park and
so on. All of these clubs are In the West
End. side by side with their masculine
rivals. and the usual qualification for MEM
bership is eligibility for presentation at
H. MS drawing room" The Victoria,
which aims mainly at supplying town
house and a permanent town address for
country members, goes little beyond this
in restricting itself to '.gentlewomen Of no
profession or calling" The subscriptions to
these clubs strike an American as wonder
fully moderate. I think $50 entrance zee
and $50 subscription is the highest. The
average. perhaps. is from $50 to $35. For
this a woman may get all, or nearly all
the conveniences that a man derives from
his clubs The appointments. OF course are
more delicate and better cared for, but the
general mechanism Is the same-the Same
dining and reception rooms. and. in the ma
jority of clubs, the same smoking room.

Corea's Integrity.
Partisan French.
From Harper's Bazaar.

4 rom harper ba2ar.
The sound Of the French language pos
sesses variations almost esoteric in the hid
den nature of their being and-according to
the Parisian-these are everlastingly be-
yond the possibility of imitation by the
American. Pol Plancon said once to an
American who has lived ten years in Paris
and speaks French to perfection-in tho
American colony: your French causes me
unspeakable agony. The matter of fact is.
no American can ever learn to speak
French. 1t is neither in your soul nor in
your vocal organs. Penelope (the ten-year-
old daughter of the American, born in
Paris and living there uninterruptedly all
her life) Penelope Is just barely tolerabie
In French. There Is something In the
United States SO antagonistic to the utter
ance of perfect French, that after ! am
over there six months come back to Paris
with my language marred, and make 1t a
point to get back as soon as / can, in order
not to suffer permanent loss of utterance. -

Shouts for Mikado.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
Only twice in his life has the Emperor Of
Japan been greeted by his subjects in the
way In which the white man is accustomed
to express his loyalty. One of these occa-
sions was on the recent celebration of the
emperor's birthday. on November 3. when
the people were unable to repress their feel
ings at the sight of his majesty; the other
was when the mikado returned to TOKYO
from the seat of the military headquarters
after the China war. when he was greeted
for the first time in Japanese history with a
roar of '.Banzair by Immense crowds who
lined the whole route from shimbaahi TO
the palace gate Nothing is moro significant
of the change which has come over Japan.
In the old days the person of the mikado
was SO sacred that when he passed every
subject had to leave his house and kneel on
the ground without daring to look at the
imperial person: and to anyone who uttered
a sound death would have come swiftly
Even when Japanese civilization was so far
advanced that the emperor held his first
naval review 1t is remembered that. In ac-
cordance with court etiquette. he carefully
turned his back on the vessels and their
crews who were saluting him.

Now Is the time to bring some twigs In
doors and put them in vase of water on
the window sill. Choose anything you like.
and IL you do not know what 1t Is. so much
the better! There are three classes of
twigs that are especially interesting: early
towering shrubs; the common shade trees.
and above all the fruit trees which give
the largest and showiest flowers. Winter
buds are fascinating study. The leaf
buds are generally rather long and pointed;
fruit buds are short and fat. II you know
