How no Prevent Group.

1t will be good news to the mothers
Of small children to learn that Group
can be prevented. The first sign OF
Group Is hoarseness. A day or 40 before
the attack the child becomes h0arse.
This Is soon followed by a peculiar
rough cough. Give Chamberlsin's
Cough Remedy freeley as soon a. the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
tile rough cough appears, and 1t will
dispell all symptoms Of Group. In
this way all danger and anxiety may
be avoided. This remedy IL used by
many thousands OF mothers and has
never been known to fail. It is, In
fact, the only remedy that can always
be depenteti upon and that Ii pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all

Sites APPEAL
NOW DISMISSED
Commissioner of the General Land
Office Decides Against
Sweeney Interests

The Sites toWnsite case has taken
another turn. Word was received
from Washington this Week that the
commissioner of the general land Of
flee had dismissed the appeal of the
Sweeney interests on the ground that
it Wds not made within the required
sixty days after date of the original de-
cision of the general land office which
granted the title to parties proceeding
under the government townsite law
The case will go to the secretary of the
interior. The Sweeney interests have
made two offers now to script the land
upon which the town of Sites is To-
Gated. Both these offerings have been
refused by the general land office on
account of lack of authority TO allow
a script filing within an Indian res
erVaton.

main entirely isolated and removed
from commercial numbering. When the
government is ready and the timber is
ripe quantities of it will be disposed
of under proper restrictions, and in
way which can work no hardship on
the individual. When these reserves
are necessary to supply the demand,
certain portions of them will be logged
off to supply such demand, but it will
be done in such a way as not to reduce
our forest land to unproductive wastes.
THE other side of the reserve plan is
the restoration of our forest growth.
The government has already under
taken experiments in replanting
logged-off sections and they bid fair to
succeed splendidly. In Minnesota, for
instance, with her short, dry summers
and severe winters, the growth of tim
Der is much slower than in the gulf
states. where the sap is up the year
around and the tree grows for twelve
months in the year. In Minnesota 1t
requires 100 years to grow log eight
cen inches in diameter, from the seed
In the southern states and in this sec
ton such a growth is attained in thirty
years.
I'VE lumbermen are not philanthro-
pists and can not afford to undertake
to provide lumber for generations un-
born, but the government, in its pater-
nal capacity, must do so if her policy
is to be actuated by broad statesman
ship So it is that the present admin
istration has undertaken to grow for
ests from the seeds for our grandchil-
dren's children.
Even in the lake region, where the
growth is slow, as l have said, the work
is now under way and we are assisting
i'm every way possible. At the present
time a party of government cruisers
are examining several townships near
the headwaters of the Mississippi river
with a view to planting and raising
white pine The government is paying
the salaries of these men but our syn
dicate is putting up their expenses. In
the south and on this northwest coast,
the process of restoration would be
much more rapid and hope to see the
government operations extended to
both sections.
Il am convinced that much of the
opposition to forest reserves is due to
lack of knowledge and believe that the
more one studies the matter the more
favorably he will view~it."

CHEROKEES ARE
RICH IN LANDS
Dawes Commission Reports that
there Are Over 100000
Acres for Allotment

TAHLEQUAH. l. r.. Nov. 1.-THE
reports of the Dawes commission and
the attorneys of the Cherokee Nation
show that there are about 4,420,O70.13
acres of land subject to allotment in
the Cherokee Nation. From this must
be deducted reservations of one acre
for each country school, for cemeteries,
and small reservations for mission
schools and new towns along railroads.
The allottabe land is valued at $13,-
$4,000 There is now being allotted
to each citizen $325.60 worth of this
land. The rolls show that there will
be 10000 Cherokees on the final rolls
The per capita share of each, not de-
Quoting the reservations above me.i-
toned would be $32S.32, leaving a sur
plus of $2.72 in land due each citizen.

1t was reported this morning that
the directors of the Eureka Mining
Smelling & Power company, and Lew
iston Southern Navigation company
would meet this afternoon to take
some action in reference to the possible
replacing of the host steamer lmnaha
with another boat to ply on the Snake
river.
Inquiry at the company's offices were
made, and we learn that owing to the
absence from the city of number or
the directors of both companies, that
a meeting could not be held earlier
than Saturday. In speaking the matter
to a Teller reporter today, Mr.. G. A
Nehrhood. president of the boat COM
pany, stated that at this time he could
not tell what action might be taken oy
the allied companies. He spoke very
encouragingly of the prospects. how
eyer and thought that new boat was
a possible conclusion.
A movement is on foot today, fos-
tered by a number of prominent cltl-
zens, which will result in the calling
of a public mass meeting, perhaps
Monday night, when members OF the
Eureka company. and the boat line VIII
be invited to discuss with the citizens
WAYS and means for the possible con-
struction of a new craft, to replace
the lost "Imnaha."
of course no action can be taken on
the matter by the citizens until state
nlent is issued by the boat company
and the Eureka company, as to what
their plans are. The movement IS
very popular one, and on the streets
today many people expressed them
selves as wishing to subscribe in be-
half of the project, should it mater
ialize.

PARISH FOUND GUILTY
BY the VERDICT TODAY
Case Now on Trial Is the Charge Of Grand
Larceny Against the Woman Arrested
Here During the Fair

The jury in the case of the State of
Idaho vs.. Charles Parish returned a
verdict in the district court this morn
ing Of guilty, and recommended
through the foreman, that mercy be
shown the defendant
The case is one originating in Spald
ing, and it is alleged that the defendant
entered the smoke house of Joe Ziver
of that place and appropriated a supply
of smoked meats, which he sold to j.
S. Warren, formerly a butcher of this
place who later notified the local po-
lice.
Parish contended i'm his defense that
he was employed by Geo. Campbell of
Spaldng and took the meat at the in
stance of Campbell.
Campbell was tried recently in a
similar action before the district court,
which resulted in a dismissal.
Parish gave notice in open court this
morning. of his intention to move for
new trial.
The defense was represented by G.

He FAvORS HITCHOCK'S PLAN
OF CREATING FOREST RESERVES
Member of the Weyerllaeuser Syndicate Says
the Creation of Forest Reserves Is
Wise and Beneficial Policy

A prominent member of the Weyer-
haeuser syndicate visited Portland las:
week and while there was interviewed
by the Oregonian gave out the follow
ing relative to the government policy of
creating forest reserves. He said:
II am a warm supporter of the gov
ernment's policy in the matter of pro-
tecting our forests, and most emphati-
cally favor the setting aside of tracts
for scientific preservation and expert
ment.
There are two standpoints from
which to view the matter. One is the
paternal theory that the government
should save portions of it's forested
lands for future generations. If this
had been done in Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota forty years ago, we
would not now be confronted by the
lamentabe conditions in those states.
The forests in the lake states are 60
ing going, gone that is they are
practically gone and it is too late now
for any human power to save them.
To the end that this may not occur
elsewhere, the government, under the
direction of Professor Pinchot the alb
lest scientific forester in the country,
has set aside a large acreage of tim
ber in these Pacific states and else
where. This is not the great hardship
upon the people, which many seem to
think. These lands almost without eX-
ception are unfit for agriculture, so the
amount of available farming land is no.
lessened. Neither is the settlement OF
the country retarded, for settlers can
only inhabit tiliable or grazing lands,
and as l have said the reserves are
neither.
The reserves are in charge of COM
petent rangers and the danger of forest
fires is reduced to a minimum. The
wholesale waste of the timber is pre-
vented, and this is of the greatest i'm
portance, for the careless and almost
criminal destruction by individuals and
lumber companies would soon exhaust
even the vast forests of this coast The
proportion of acres set apart is not
vet, nor is it likely to be, great enough
to prevent the man who desires to enter
land under the timber and stone act
from doing So There's no need TO
worry on that score There's plenty yet
for all.
Not Withdrawn Forever
Neither is this reserved land to re-

matter has been taken hold of by the
people in this city.
He spent the greater portion of yes
terday, in company with Secretary
Wood. of the mining bureau in visiting
the business men of Lewiston in inter-
est of the project. and is very enthusi-
astic over the assurances given him.
Last night he visited the city coun-
ell, who were in session and explained
the purpose of his visit to the city. The
members of the council promised to
render such assistance as it was able
to give.
DR.. Read left for his home in Wallace
this morning, and promises Lewiston
another visit in the near futureJ
When asked for "A personal view of
the situation. by The Teller reporter
this morning. Mr.. Read said:
Il believe that Lewiston and her citi-
ems are very wide awake to the import
ance of their having a very thorough
exhibition of the resources of the dis
trict by which she is surrounded, at the
St Louis exposition.
After having seen and talked with
your most prominent citizens and not
ing the expressions of their willingness
to extend their sincere and enthusiastic
cooperation, it causes me TO feel san
guine of accomplishing the results de-
sired for the Central Idaho exhibit.
Members of both the Commercial
club and the Central Idaho Mining bu-
reau have been very free in assuring
that they will do everything possible in
| this endeavor.
Mayor Kress and other members of
the council have signified willingness
to assist in features that win help ma
terially, and the newspapers, recognize
ing the extent and worth of this en-
deavor, are willing to contribute their
portion to the extent that complete
success may be enjoyed.
After your commercial organiza-
tions have completed their plans and
decide upon course to pursue II VIII
be a matter of easy accomplishment
for them to move this Central Idaho
exhibit endeavor, to very prominent
place in the Idaho exhibit.
Words of praise are mild when re-
ferring to this enterprise of Lewiston.
The pronounced promises of which VIII
naturally bring about the success OF
all moves beneficial TO the interests OF
the city. The success of the Central
Idaho exhibit will be bat another dem
onstration of the spirit that has made
Lewiston the thriving and prosperous
city that it is"
