ervation of what remains of our forests
and the protection of new growth is de-
sirable, but it occurs to me that there
is much which is futile and frantic In
the present governmental concern over
tracts which were long since despolled
and are now much better suited to other
purposes, or which are now and always
will be as destitute of timber growth as
is the bald head of the baldest headed
man in this convention. The prevailing
plan of forest reserve brings Ii face to
face with a dilemma which causes us
great concern, not only for the great
reasons already cited, but for the men,
ace confronting u important grazing
industry. 1t is true, there are certain
conditions under which the leasing of
some of these reserves to stockmen
may be effected But while this modi-
6es the evil it does not remove it. The
actual purchaser or settler is still left
out in the cold. He can neither lease
nor buy; and yet he is of more avail
than many steers or sheep. We look
upon the question after all, as one de-
pending on the survival of the fittest.
Is the land more valuable for a pre-
cocious attempt to cultivate forests
where they have grown but scantily if
at all, or for the making of homes for
settlers and for the grazing of livestock,
for which purposes its adaptability has
been proven? If the former, go on
with the forest reserve policy; if the
latter, give the man, the steer and the
sheep a chance"

Gov. Wells, Of Utah,
Talks ON Forest Reserves

At the meeting of the National Live
stock Association just held in Portland,
Oregon, Gov. R. M. Wells, of Utah,
spoke at length n.the topic of 1.-The
Policy of the Government Relative to
Forest Reserves" He said in part,
"In a truly literal sense water is,
with us in the arid regions, the life
blood of u existence, the ~indispensa-
BILE element without which u prosper
ity would vanish, our smiling common
wealth become a desert waste. We are
particularly alert, therefore, to the
benefits which anyone must recognize
as the legitimate result of the protec-
ton and propagation of forests. We
are, or ought to be, firm friends of the
governmental forest reserve idea-with
certain limitations. / have various OBJ
i~ections to urge against the policy OF
forest reservation as at present m
vogue. Experience has shown us in the
selection of many of these large tracts,
so far as pertains to my W state, at
least-there is the most ridiculous ig-
norance as to their nature and suitable
ity for the purpose intended. Further
more, they are altogether disproportion-
ate in area to the needs which they pro-
pose to remedy. There is a woeful lack
of discrimination and judgement in both
these respects. The consequence is al
ready apparent, the result is inevitable
that our young men who choose to fol
low the soil for livelihood are compelled
to 90 elsewhere. Certainly, the pres

Hayseed, drop that fork
And saddle your best cayuse;
Fill a two-quart bottle up to the cork,
With old Jamaica juice.
Then saddle another and lead him out

Then call for the Elk City News,
A glance at the latest strikes then cast,
And you'll see there's nothing to

Give no heed to the story you'll hear

Of a wildcat the size of a bison.
He was killed by Jack Hinton some
two weeks ago
For attempting to hunt without a
license.
Go around to each dump and examine
the ore,
The boys will never object.
But invite you to call and examine
them more
And treat you with all due respect.

Or still wear the title of "hayseed

And roast your old brains on the farm.

composition and we hope to o o repro

his pen.
About 10 o'clock Wednesday morning
the public school house had a narrow
escape from total destruction. The
stove pipe became disconnected between
the ceiling and roof of the building and
a fire ensued. An alarm was imme-
diately given and almost the entire pop
ulation of the town turned out with fire
extinguishers, buckets of water and
ladders. An opening was soon made In
the rear gable of the structure and the
extinguishers put to work and the blaze
soon conquered. Very little damage
was done.
J. H. Morris, of the Big Idaho Min
ing and Development company, operat-
ing on Big Creek, was in town the first
of the week on his way to Lewiston.
The company expects to do a large
amount of development work as o o as
spring opens up, but work will be con-
tinued in a small way all winter. Geo.
S. Bailey, of Lewiston, is general man
ager and passed through here a short
time ago from a visit at the property.
Mr.. Bailey speaks in very fiattering
terms of the country in general and
predicts a brilliant future.
Among the weeks visitors was E. H.
Hanson from Orogrande, who was the
original locator of the famous Hogan
mine at that place. He still owns three
claims adjoining that property on the
south and is now running a tunnel into
the dixie, which has been in porphyry
since the start. Lately it has cut into
an exceptional good grade of ore, and
which Nh. Hanson estimates will assay
between six and ten dollars in gold a
ton. He intends to keeb this work go
ing all winter, and it is evident, from
the activity in the Orogrande section,
that the coming summer will see hin
on the sunny side of easy street.
For many years the citizens of Idaho
county have felt the need of a thor
oughly equipped hospital, including
trained nurses and up to date sanitary
appliances. Such now can be had al
the Grangeville hospital, owned anC
operated by w. R. Carey and wife, who
are trained nurses of sixteen years ex'
p~erience. We are indebted to F. S
Rice, well known throughout this
country, for being thus reminded. Mr.
Rice has been an inmate of the Grange
vile hospital for some time, where he
went to undergo am operation n~ecessi
tated by the loss of his limbs on Feb
ruary 18th of last year, and so speaks
from experience. He wishes to call the
attention of his friends to the fact tha'
the hospital is not owned by any docto,
or controlled by any religious sect bu
remains neutral, charging only a rea
sonable fee for nursing and attendance
The patients can select their own medi

years have had extensive hospital prac
tice in the east, and are up to date i
every branch of medicine and surgery

By direction Of the secretary of agri-
culture tie bureau of plant industry
is to take up at once experiments to
determine the best manner in which
to brew Il cup of coffee. To this end.
Mr.. L. l.. Lewton, Il specially trained
expert, has been engaged The view
of the department is that Il cup of cof-
fee is good because OF the manner in
which 1t is brewed, rather than from
the qualit. oil the bean from which
the beverage Is made. 1t will be ap-
preciated by all persons acquainted
with the art and mystery OF coffee
parently trivial in themselves, have to
be taken into consideration in produc-
Ing the beverage. For instance, i'll the
process Of roasting, the beans may be
more or less damaged by being under
or over done, and the flavor of the
coffee thus impaired to correspond
ing degree. Hence the necessity for
ideal conditions in roasting. Again,
the effects of water ut various temper
atures upon the ground coffee and the
proper period for infusion will. for the
first time in the history of coffee max
ing, be asccrtained thoroughly and ac-
curately. The retention of caffeine
the active principle of coffee, to which
it owes its stimulating effects, and the
elimination OF calfeotennie and caffeic
acids, which are not only injurious tc
health but communicate an unpleasant
bitter taste to the beverage, will be, OF
course, the principal objects.-Wash

In the Journal de Psychologist, NJ.
Mayer treats of the influence OF the
mind on bodily secretioRs. We know
that tempting morsel of food makes
the mouth water" and that stories
or memories can bring tears to the
eyes. Observations on dogs have
shown that the nature of the saliva
secreted at the sight of food depends
on the nature of the food. The stom-
achal secretions of the dog are also ex.
cited by The sight of food. Some dogs,
however, or cold, positive tempera-
ment," not illusioned by chimeras or
what is out of reach. patiently wait
until the food comes to their gullet
before tllcir mouths water or their
gastric Juices ere provoked. 1t is as
suined thai what holds for dogs prob
ably holds for men. The observations
appear 10 slow the Importance of eat
ing food that peases and avoiding
what displeases or disgusts. They also
run counter 10 the physiological theory
of the emotions, according TO which the
physiological phenomena are caused by
organic changes This may be the case
with some '.emotions," for example the
feeling of hunger, but for emotions
properly so-called it is rather the other

Iowa creameries Largest.

The annual report of the state
dairy commissioner has been COM
pleted and filed with Governor
Cummins.
The report shows that Iowa
creameris are becoming fewer in
numbers and larger, and that they
have larger average number Of
patrons ard larger average output
than those Of the country generally.
The number of crermeries in
Iowa was increasing few years ago,
but is now steadily decreasing.
The report shows that large
number of creameries show a low
average production per COW, es-
pecially the centralizing plants and
those operated on the hand separator
plan. The four largest centralizing
plants reported 7SS pounds per pat
ron and so pounds per COW. Other
creameries average up as high as,
in one county 1880 pounds per
patron and 15S per COW. There
are 25,3SS7 hand separators in use
! in Iowa and 40 per cent Of the entire
butter output is made from hand
separated cream.
There are now 3S3 creameries
using hand separators and IS use
them to the exclusion of other meth
DDS, as against only SO exclusive
last year. There are 81 receiving
cream by rail as against 40 last year
The average creamery in Iowa has
99S cows and $50 patrons. Of the
more than 72O creameries in the
state, reports were received from
SIG, and they made 62,222,457
pounds of butter, sold for $9,SS4, ,543
and Of which 3,437, sos pounds were
sold to patrons; sold in Iowa, 1884,
1872 pounds; shipped out, 54,65O,76O
pounds. There are not as many
creameries as last year, but the out
put was probably about the same as
last year.
The size Of Iowa creameries has
been increasing. Last year the aver.
age output was 97,770 pounds pei
creamery; this year it was l2O,5St
pounds.

Did you ever deal with large
business house like some Of our
present Chicago and New Yorl, mail
order stores2 Did it ever occur to
you that they must have their bust
ness well organized? No doubt
you have often wondered how they
manage to keep track of their clerks
and the thousands of people who
work for them. Would it not be
possible to make use of a little more
system on the farm? If system is a
good thing for mail order houses, why
should it not be of advantage to the
farmer? Don't answer by saying
that may work in the city, but it is
of no avalon the farm" We have
heard that many times from farmers
but in nearly every case they did
not speak from practical experience
when they made such statements
they simply made a wild guess
