LEARNING TOO LATE

Those who are persistently fighting
the government forest reserve policy
are overlooking the fact that the gov
eminent is trying in the western states
to profit by the mistakes made in the
east when the whole country was new
and no attention was paid to the prop
er preservation of the forests. The
fight in many instances is a fight that
is waged unthoughtedly with the idea
of seeing only the present dollar and
entirely overlooking the need of the
future.
Speaking of the experiences of the
eastern states the Montana Daily Rec
ord say:
Maine is learning the bitter lesson
that 1t is too late to lock the stable
after the horse has been stolen. In
early days Maine had no forestry reg
ulations. no one saw in a pine tree any
thing more than the number of dollars
! 1t would fetch in the market. the gen.
Grafton living cared nothing for the
generation coming next. Tree cutting
went on. No one planted trees. There
was no conservation of the great
wealth of that part of the country

southeast portion of the territory rep
resented by reports.
Good rains occurred at Victoria, Ia
coma and Portland; elsewhere, the pre-
cipitation has been light and scattered.

INCREASED RAINFALL

Reports from all outlying sections of
the Clearwater basin show heavier
fall of moisture this season than for
many years past and the value of this
is directly beneficial for all interests in
the Clearwater country.
In the mineral belt it means a greater
length of season for mining operations
and increased output for the mines. In
the agricultural sections the increased
moisture will bring direct returns in
the yield of larger crop.
Where the water is needed for irri-
CATION purposes an increased fail Of
moisture is always welcome. In view
of the fact that the Lewiston country
Is soon to be the scene OF an irriga
ton project OF some MAGNITUDE. some
special atteption has been directed to
the rainfall in the country tributary to
Laka Waha in the basin that will be
utilized to draw the supply for stor-
age purposes.
Competent engineers have been
measuring the snowfall this winter and
find that up to date the aggregate
amount near the lake has been five
feet and this increases in depth toward
the outer edge of the basin till maxi
mum of seven feet has been registered.
This is very encouraging to the project
and gives substance to the assertion
that with proper storage even a larger
area than has been counted on can
be covered by the companys water
supply.
In this same Connection it is noted
that for the past few years the rainfall
of the Lewiston country has been in
creasing materially. This is due in all
probability to the increased acreage
now under cultivation. 1t is a well
sustained observation that as deserts
tend to perpetuate themselves the re-
verse is equally true that increased Gull

and when the thousands of acres of
land covered by the lewiston Waha
ditch is put under intensive cultivation
there Is no doubt an increased rainfall
will result. The artificial resources
will aid the natural deposit and tend to
maintain a higher general average.

VALUE OF ELECTRIC ROAD

Plans for the Lewiston & Southeast
ern Electric line have now matured
sufficiently to bring the matter fairly
before the citizens of Lewiston for their
moral and financial support
The action taken at the Commercial
club last night was taken only after
full investigation of the plans and pur-
poses of the company. therefore the en-
.dorsement of the project carries unus-
ual weight and there should be no hes
itancy on the part of the citizens in ad-
vancing the financial assistance neces-
sary to put the matured plans of the
company fairly before the capitalists
who are expecting to finance the pro-
Ject.
The building Of the electric line is
one of the great enterprises that will
hasten the development of the Lewis
ton country. Citizens of Lewiston need
not be told of the wonderfully fertility
OF the country annexed by this direct
line of communication 1t embraces
the great Nezperce prairie, Camas
Prairie and Craig Mountain sections of
the interior. a territory, a small empire
in extent and wonderfully prolific.
For many years this interior country
has been handicapped by lack of prop
err transportation facilities and its
natural development retarded This is
especially true of the Craig Mountain
and Camas Prairie sections. They are
naturally adapted to grains and grasses
but owing to their isolated condition
and the long haul to market, the cul-
prohibitive ana the people have been
engaged chiefly in stock raising.
Direct and easy transportation
such as Is offered by the electric line
would revolutionize the agricultural
activities of these sections and put
thousands of acres in cultivation. now
devoted to grazing merely, and the pro-
ducts of these fertile acres win be
marketed at Lewiston. 1t will be easily
seen that the tonnage of the upper
country will be enormously increased
and materially to the benefit of Lewis
ton.
Lewiston is to be the lower terminal
of the electric line, All the traffic OF
the upper country viii be centered here
and the part not marketed directly viii
be reshipped over some lines to ths
COAST criminals, and all the freight fol-
interior points will be handled through
Lewiston for the upper country. Thu
ness at Lewiston can be readily ap
preciated. Transportation lines woul'
of the Lewiston shipping and bette
transportation facilities from Lewiston
to seaboard points would result witt
cheaper rates. With cheaper rate
Lewiston's advantage as a shipping
and distributing point would be so EN-
phasized that its growth in all line
of trade would be rapid and perma

case was removed from the state court
to the circuit court of the United
States as arising under the cOnStitu-
tlon and laws of the United States.
The case was decided against the state
by the federal circuit court and then
taken to the supreme court, which in
vlted briefs on the question of juris-
diction and both sides argued the case
as properly moved to the federal
courts. Justice Harlan held that the
suit does not really substantially in
volve a sum of money or cOntro-
versy which the circuit court could
have taken up for final decree. Hence
the circuit court should not have taken
cognizance Of it but should have re-
manded it to the state courts.

The scene was, brilliant and inspiring.
The immense basilica was crowded

For hours before the pope appeared
spectators arrived in streams and
struggled for positions of vantage.
Troops lined the piazza and kept back
the surging crowd. One feature OF
the service was the rendition Of the

No Jurisdiction.
II BELONGS TO The STATE COURTS
Circuit Judge Lochren Exceeded His
Authority in Passing on Is
sues Involved.


WASHINGTON, April lin the
ease Of the state Of Minnesota versus
-hr Northern Securities company and
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific which was not decided in the
supreme court of the United States
when the merger decision was handed
down. was decided today. The SUI
preme court held that the federal cir
cult court had no jurisdiction and the
case was dismissed. The case was
brought to sustain Minnesota's statute
of 1876 forbidding the consolidation of
parallel and competing railroad lines
and also to prevent illegal combina-
tions in restraint of trade and COM
merce. The decision was unanimous.
The object of the suit was to de-
clare the combination of the two roads
and the holding of their stock by the
Securities company unlawful and
against the laws of the state as well
