you ssk for what you want, be. econom-
ical in what you take, etc. - The fact
is that under the rules prospeetor is
entitled to just one hundred dollars
worth of timber outside the lines of his
ground if his claim is barren of timber
and he must buy after he exhausts that
one hundred dollar donation, which
would hardly be sufficient to build
cabin. How many prospectors are able
to buy timber for such development
work as even the average prospector is
able to carry on? Another instance:
There is hundreds of cords of down
timber at various points around and in
the immediate vicinity of Elk City
which is rotting and which as a fire
trap and generator has not its equal
anywhere. Under the rules this dead
wood costs 25 cents per cord to mining
companies and business men. The
same conditions obtain in the Hump.
Mr.. Fem admits that ''to satisfy the
demands of the people, miners and
others, 'rightfully' upon the reserve all
the various branches of trade and busi-
ness are necessary" Yet it is mat
ter of recent history that the depart
mert undertook to compel the various
branches Of trade and business, includ-
ing mining, to furnish bonds which
practically placed them on basis of
peonage, inasmuch as the life of the
bond depended upon the pleasure of
the department and it would be guided
as a matter of course by the advices of
its local agent. That this rule has
been cut out matters not. 1t is fair
sample of the perils which Immediately
surround an industry when once placed
outside the operation of the common
law, besides the abrogation of this rule
was obtained by the people and not by
agents of the department.
Another point of objection Mr.. Fem
admits the justice of on the part of the
people, namely, the Withholding of ag-
ricultural land within the reserve from
settlement but does not admit the trutf
of the statement and says, whenever
any considerable area of the reserve
lands are shown to be of the character
stated it is promptly >. rendered
subject to settlement. In the vicinity
of Elk City there are certain tracts O
limited extent that are desirable fo
, agricultural purposes.
Well, "Uncle Sarn," with the par
ticular brand of liberality to which Ell
City is accustomed, is suing for posses
sion of one of these ranches and $72
, besides, the result of the industry of
poor man, and finally the major close
this remarkable interview with this re
markable peroration: "Year afte

Columbia rivers. How futile will be
the improvements if the grand noun
tains surrounding the drainage basin of
the Columbia be denuded of their
forests" !"
He admits the Clearwater cuts very
little figure but still it helps some and
adds, ''there is still another considera-
ton" Here the major developes the
characteristics of very jeremiah and
predicts all sorts of calamity if the
southwest corner of the Bitter Root
forest reserve is restored to the public
domain. He sees the world rolling
down hill to the devil with himself
holding onto its coat tails and using
his heels for brakes. The major dies

controversy was precipitated by ITEM
porary inconvenience" which he says
are remediable. AS to that we will
say for the enlightenment of Mr.. Fem
and his readers, that the miners life is
an arduous one and his business is of a
character which requires all his atten-
ton and time. In short, he is addicted
to the habit of minding his own affairs,
Keeping, however, wary eye upon
everything which relates thereto, there
ness was first projected he looked it
over, concluded it was merely an ex-
tension of the political pie counter and
not of any menace to him, he therefore
threw it on the dump with the other
foIlies he had encountered and cast
aside at other periods of the life of his
industry and thought nothing more of
it until he found the fool acadamician
on his track with the spokesman bring
ing up the rear with his interminable
don'ts and dos, when it became appar-
ent that if his industry was going to
live he must shake of the brood that
was sapping its life.
Congress has given him the right to
locate mineral on the public domain
wherever he may find it; he also enjoys
the cumulative rights necessary to the
successful operation Of this mineral
deposit, which, in his opinion, are nee
essary, such, for instance, as the build
ing of roads, trails, bitches, telegraph,
telephones, etc. These laws have
never been repealed or amended, forest
reserve laws to the contrary notwith-
standing, he, therefore, as far as this
section is concerned refuses to tolerate
. any further interference from an ap
: parently irresponsible set Of men
, whose pretentions to ability to pass up
on the miners needs is only equalled by
{ their ignorance of the subject.
r Mr.. Fem informs us in the course O.
, hhis interview ''that the establishment
! of forest reserves in European lands il
Y easier than it is with us for the reasol
that whatever the government doe
S must be acquiesed in by the people.
