FOREST RESERVE
a DetrIment 10 our Great State
and a Bar to It's Future
Developments
tLewiston TrIbune)

Nl&"lstOn ltiDuhel
The persons who are seeking to have
one-fourth OF the state Of Idaho recover
ed into permanent forest reserve now
base their claim on the alleged discov-
cry that there are few. il any residents,
in the closed territory and that only
primitive houses have yet been con
structed by those that have settled All
this and much more, Is true. Instead
Of the reserves being thickly populated
and filed with modern city mansions,
il is fact that all OF Idaho has, at this
time, very little more population than
the city OF PnIt tland alone, and peshaps
as mucn as three-iourths Of the state is
entirely without settlement TO this day.
We have hopes, though. for growth and
deveI-pement as fast as routes can be
established permitting the virgin country
t. e opened u civilized uses. Nearly
all the present activities OF the state are
based On such hupes, and they are being
r allied IN modest way day by day as
the frontier lin. i pushed little furth-
er along The Weyerhauser railway in
Ia1ah county, tor example, is under rap
,d construction and in anoth year

1.-THE dispatching of Foraker to Sher-
man for help was the next act in the
drama, and after night march Sher-
man came up with Logan's corps and
joined me on the battlefield at Benton
vile the morning of March 20. AS
soon as he arrived we developed the
enemy's lines and found them very
strong, as Williams reported, but when
we began to push things Johnston dis
covered that he was just day too late,
for Shermans army was united. He
then retreated hastily toward Raleigh"
Two days later Lee attempted to
break Grants hold on Petersburg by a
night sortie. He failed and attempted
to back off and march south to meet
Johnston. That plan Sheridan foiled
at Five Forks on April 1. SO the game
was up for the southern Confederacy.
Williams name does not appear on
the list Of winners of medals of honor.
He was in the service all through the
war, having re-enlisted at the expira-
ton Of his first term. He returned to
Syracuse to engage in business, in
which he met with varying fortunes.

my lines would have counted for more
had his columns not been broken In
passing through the thicket. AS 1t was.
they charged again and again until
late hour. When night came on | had
my army well in hand and intrenched
Still l had a strong foe in my front
and could not keep my engagement to
meet Sherman ON the Neuse river nexs
day. The fierceness of the battle con-
firined the story of the deSerter Will
liams that the enemy had made every
preparation to smash me- and, while
l might have ignored the warning and
attempted to cut my way through,
thought it was time when | could
afford to be too slow rather than too
fast and not risk another Balls Bluff
disaster
1.-THE idea is generally accepted that
the march of Sherman through the
Carolinas at that time, threatening to
come up in the rear of Lees army
along the James and catch it between
two fires, decided the issue between
| Lee and Grant and led to the surrender
at Appomattox. That view of the case
makes it plain that blow like the one
Johnston would have been able to
strike had l not been warned Of his
presence and continued my march with
the columns strung out would have
been terrible disaster just at that
time
civilians was the hero of that cri-
sis, and he took his life in his hands in
more respects than one when he set
out from the Confederate camps to
warn me of my danger There was fir
ing going on between the Confederate
skirmishers and ours, SO that man
risked his life passing between the
lines. Besides, if discovered by the
southern people while getting away
they would shoot him down, and the
northerners would do the same unless
they understood his signals. 1t was
most fortunate for Williams as we'll as
for my army and the cause that he
happened to run right into the arms
of an old fellow soldier, so that the
identification of him and acceptance
of his story did not take five minutes.
For his own safety he might better
have waited until the battle was on
before attempting to rejOin his old
friends, if that was his sole object. 1t
would have been an easy matter then,
but he was true to the flag and his
