Warming Notices.

The commissioner Of the gen.
eral land office has sent out the
following warning notices, The
strict adherence to these rules
will prevent many destructive
forest fires, and it is hoped that
everyone will use the utmost care
to follow the instructions:
Large areas Of forest, public
and private, are destroyed each.
year by fire. This destruction is
an injury to everyone, and is a
great damage especially in all
mountain countries where a reg
ular flow Of the streams is of vital
Importance. The forest is the
most effective means of prevent
ing floods and producing a more
regular flow of water for irriga-
tion and other useful purposes.
To prevent the mischievous
forest fires congress passed the
law approved May 5, 1900, which
forbids setting fire to the woods,
and forbids leaving fires, camp
fires and others, without first ex-
tinguishing the same.
This law provides a maximum
punishment, in a fine of $4,000,
or Imprisonment for two years,
or both, if a fire is set maliciously,
and a fine of 81, 900, or imprison-
ment for one year, or both, if fire
results from carelessness.
1t also provides that money
from such fines be paid to the
school fund Of the county in
which the offense is committed.
DIRECTIONS. Since so many
fires start from neglected camp
fires the public is requested as
follows:
Do not build a larger fire thar
you need.
Do not build your fires in dense
masses of pine leaves, duff, anC
other cOmbustible material where
the fire is sure to spread.
Do not build your fire against
large logs, especially against
large rotton logs, where it re-
quires much more work and time
to put the fire out than you are
willing to expend, and where you
are rarely quite certain that the
fire is really and completely ex
tinguished.
In windy weather and in dan
gerous places, dig a fire hole anC
clear off place to secure youi
fire. You will save wood anC
trouble.
Every camp FIRE should be com
pletely put out before leaving
camp.
Do not build fires to clear of
land and for other similar pur
poses without informing the near
est ranger or supervisor, so thaf
he may assist you.

road situation in the Lewiston
was the arrival of Pres
dent Elliot and party of the
Northern Pacific who passed |
Potlatch junction last
night and who are now at Sites.
They will probably make the run
to Lewiston this morning, altho'
the defnate plan of the visitors
in that regard is not yet known.
The Tribune Sunday morning an
that Mr.. Elliott was en-
route here from the east and that
the best information available
was that the visit was directly in
connection with the move made
by the O. R. & N. in placing a
party of surveyors in the field.
Mr.. Elliot's party comprises H.
j. Horne, general manager; F.
w. Gilbert, general superinten-
dent; E. J. Pearson, chief engi-
neer; Newman Cline, assistant
general superintendent; A. H.
Smith, Harry Blakely, assistant
general freight agent; F. G. John
son, auditor; and Division Super
intendent Bihler.
The party en- route have given
out no statement, other than the
mechanical one, of being on "a
tour of inspection" but the view
is expressed by Montana papers
that the visit to the Lewiston
country is undoubtedly one hav-
ing a most important bearing on
early construction work,
Further investigation of the
report from Grangeville, publish
ed in the Tribune Sunday, that a
quantity of scrapers, plows and
other equipment for construction
work had reached Sites, shows
such to be the case. There are
now at Sites two car loads of
such material. 1t will be recalled
that when the truce was made
five years ago, the N. P. had con-
struction forces building the line
beyond Sites, and the fact that
construction equipment has al
ready been delivered at Sites
indicates that the company plans
to resume its fight on the old line
if hostilities with the O. R. & N.
are now to break out.
Announcement was made yes
terday that the Northern Pacific
would send out crew of survey
ors from Spokane on the morning
train. A large number of sur
veyors boarded the train at Spo.
kane and they stopped at stations
in squads through the Palouse
country. On the train out OF
Spokane were also several N. P.
men, said to be connected with
the engineering department OF
the road who went direct tc
points on the Clearwater line.
Should the plan of the O. R. &
N. be to Immediately rush the
work of building its branch from
Lewiston to Grangeville, a dis.
tance by the survey of 105 miles,
the Northern Pacific would prob.
ably build the line from Sites
to Grangeville, the surveys fol-
which were completed during the
fight five years ago, although
there is persistent rumor that the
company wants to own the elec.
trio line route which extends
from Lewiston by way of Waha
and Craig mountain to the Idaho
county metropolis. The company
also has a survey from Culdesat
across the prairie country tt

some time ago. Some statistics OF
what is being done in the course OF q
year by the post office department.
with reference to rural route service
will give the people. some understands
ing as to why it cannot be accomp-
lished quicker.
During the last year there nave
been nearly 5000 applications re-
ceiyed for the establishment OF ruraI
service. DIP to the close Of the fiscal
year nearly $1,000 of these had been
rejected because CT the fact that thu
proposed routes in the matter of pat
ronage, etc., fell below the standard
required. or the 4,5OO petitions
pending at the close of the fiscal year,
nearly LOCO have been assigned for
establishment while the remaining
) 800 are being examined with that
end in view.
On July l there were 32,O5S rural
routes in operation, or 1892 mora
than at a corresponding period last
year.
To facilitate a more accurate
handling Of the mail by rural free de-
livery carriers the postof1ce depart
ment is arranging for the numbering
OF all rural letter boxes which under
the regulations Of the department
are entitled to service, and author-
izing the delivery by rural letter car
riers Of ordinary mail matter Of ali
classes addresses to boxes by number
alone, so long as improper and un-
lawful business is not conducted
thereby, tie same as Is now permit
ted in the case Of postofice boxes.
Instructions will be issued to the
postmasters within q short time to
assign to boxes entitled to service

VIM. h. Gregory confs.ss..

Chief Of Police Keith arrived home
Friday evening from Fort Crook, near
Omaha, where he took Will II. Greg
DRY, who was arrested early In the
week on the charge of assertion from
the regular army. and turned him
over to the authorities. Chief Keith
said when they reached the fort that
Gregory still maintained that he was
not a deserter, but when he faced
Colonel Pratt, who was a iieutenant-
colonel in the regiment that Gregory
belonged to in the Philippines, the
young man wilted and acknowledged
that he had deserted from the army.
Before leaving Mitchell he asserted
to The Republican editor that he
was nat a deserter. that he had new
er enlisted since being discharged in
the Philippines in 1902. The writer
gave the young man the benefit or
the statement, but he very much
lnisrepresented matters. Chief Keith
said that Gregory would be court
martialed in the course Of a couple
of weeks, and that Colonel Pratt
said his punishment would likely be
a year in the military prison at Leay-
enworth, Kan, or he might be- kept
at Fort Crook, it all depending q
good deal on what developed at the
court martial concerning Gregory's
conduct previous to his desertion. In
asmuch as be deserted within six
months after his enlistment the PEN
atty is not so severe. After be is re-
leased from his imprisonment Greg
DRY will have to finish his three year
enlistment.

COUNTY COMING
Hughes County Declares That an
exhibit viii be Made at the
Corn Palace.

j. X. Smith received a letter yes
terday from John Il. Newell, secre-
tary OF the Gas Belt Land & Abstract
Co., OF Pierre, in which he wants to
assure Mr.. Smith that Hughes county
will have its exhibit at the corn
palace this fall. Mr.. Newell stated
in his letter that he noticed a refer
ence in one Of the Mitchell --papers
that lit was understood FROM news
paper reports that Hughes county in
tends to form a part of the exhibit
at the corn palace this fall" and
this aroused his interest to find out
if Hughes county was really to be
recognized for space. Mr.. Smith i'm
formed The Republican that Hughes
county had been assigned space this
year as it was last year and the
gentlemen of that county will be just
as cordially welcomed this year as
they were last, at which time the
Pierre fellows imagined a whole lot
that there was no ground for. In
concluding his letter Mr.. Newell
said: "We greatly appreciate your
kind invitation, and are anxious to
help make a success .of one Of the
most noteworthy enterprises ever
furnished 1.-The public by a western
state"
Along with other counties in the
state a month ago Mr.. Smith, who
has charge of the county exhibits,
extended to Hughes county an in.i-
alton to make an exhibit at the corn
palace this fall, and did not wait for
them to make application.

Association Making Some
Fine Improvements in Line
of Wall Decorations.

The Woman's Library Association
is having some very fine interior dec
Grating done in the Carnegie library.
The dome is finished in blue to rep
resent a beautiful sky effect which.
adds much to the beauty of the ro-
tunda. The walls of the balcony and
also tie walls Of the rotunda are be-
ing covered with light brown burlap
to match the oak finish. The stack
room is also being decorated. The
ceiling is finished in yellow with
light gray around the walls above:the
b irlap and this, with the artistic
hand decorating, gives a very light,
easy and soft effect to the rooms.
The same scheme Of using the brown
burlap for the walls is also carried
out in this room.
When e. j.. Greayes completes the
work it will add greatly to the beauty
Of the interior OF the library.
The reading room and the child
ren's room were decorated last year
so that with the completion Of the
present work all the walls will be
covered with burlap and all the CELL
ings will be tinted and decorated.
The Woman's Library Association
is to be praised for the interest they
display in thus adding so much
beauty and attractiveness to the pub
lie library. With the expenditure of
a much greater amount of money a
painted canvas could have been
placed in the rotunda and the walls
could have been adorned with figures
by an artist but for the effects which
the ladies are getting from the ex-
penditule Of: about 5000 1t surely
speaks great credit for their manage
ment.
The-hours which the library is
kept open are longer than any library
in the state, which are from Ga.
LII. to I p. M. and Saturday evening
the hour for closing is 10 o'clock.
Yet we believe that a great many
people would appreciate it if the
reading room was kept open until
about 10 O'Clock every evening which
would provide a place to spend a
profitable evening when down town.

Knocks Corn Palace to Boost
State Fair Project.

WOonsocket Herald: Faux county
has appropriated S5OO.OO to prepare
an exhibit for the state fair. That
is the place where Sanborn county
should compere. or course it is we'll
enough to take the exhibit to the
Mitchell corn palace, provided that
they offer premiums as they do at the
state fair. The corn palace hereto
fore paid no premiums and returned
nothing TO the people. 1t is largely a
local affair, conducted to attract
people there in the fall to spend
their money in the stores, shops and
saloons. The state fair is the official
state exposition. 1t is conducted by
a state board. and attracts attend
ance from distant states, and for that
reason no money should he appro1lat-
ed for a county exhibit that will not
be taken to the great fair at Huron.
"Rantankerous'' Reed would soon-
er go without two or three meals
than to pass up an opportunity to
hit some Mitchell institution a crack,
just as he has attempted to do in the
above extract from his paper. We
haven't any objection to Reed boost
ing the state fair-that's all right,
but we don't see as he has any bust
ness to knock as square an enterprise
as the corn palace of this city-and
it was at this corn palace that San
born county got its first good adver-
Using some ten or twelve years ago,
when it fist commenced to exhibit
its products. We've never heard Of
anybody who has attended Mitchell's
corn palace but said they had always
got their moneys worth and then
some. As to the corn palace being d
local affair-it has received the en-
dorsement of the leading men OF the
state, and the leading newspapers Of
the state as to the vast benefits that
have accrued to the state from the
advertising it has given. Through
the corn palace being held at Mitch
ell this state received a fine adver-
tisement in several foreign mag
azines, n of which was the Vide
World, published in London. and
numbelless eastern newspapers and
magazines. We wonder if Reed will
admit that an enterprise spoken of as
being in South Dakota, such as the
corn palace, would be any tenetit 10
the state.
AS stated above we want to see the
state fair prosper and The Repub-
lican will do what it can to advertise
it, but for the Herald to cast such
an uncalled for fling at the corr pal
I ace OF this city is beyond endurance.
Reed, however, reflects his personal
sentiment in his paper, and we Go
not believe that tile people Of San
born county will agree that he is
right. There is a place open in the
corn palace for Sanborn county and
we believe that the people who are
