MINING NEWS INDORSED.

Governor Gooding gives out an inter-
view in the Lewiston Tribune of the
10th relating to forest reserves and the
frenzied policy pursued by the admins
tration in regard to their creation and
maintenance, particularly as relates to
Idaho, that certainly has the right ring
of true American metal Said the gov
ernor: "Idaho cannot afford to tolerate
the step, if the plans are to be carried
out in line with the plan of creating re-
serves in the past. We simply must
fight. 1 surely shall use my every eff
fort to persuade our national govern
ment from imposing such an injustice.
Why, do you know that the present and
proposed reserves embrace % or % per
cent of the total area of our state? If
the national government thinks this
step to be fair, they should go further,
and turn us back to the territorial form
of government. l am favorable to for
est reserves with reasonable limitations,
but this affair is going too far. l be-
lieve in protecting the young timber,
and the government could accomplish a
splendid work on that line, but the
present movement of the forest reserve
department is inexplicable. The people
of Idaho simply don't understand it.,
and we must protest. am opposed to
forest reserves where there is an oppor-
tunity for the citizen to make a home. "

nothing for the money received from
investors except to squander it or en-
rich themselves.
There are profits enough in mining
without resorting to trickery or villainy.
1t requires combinations of capital to
open up mines. But let us obtain it
honestly. Let the investor participate
in the profits as well as the expense of
developing and equipping mines.

FASCINATION IN GOLD MINING.

Nothing appeals to the average in
weston so strongly as gold mining. There
is fascination about it which cannot
easily be explained. The industry has
received more blows from INSCRIPTIONS
frauds than any other because of this
fact. The magnetic attraction of the
gold fields of the world for mankind
since the first page of history was writ
ten; the enormous yields from placer
and quartz mines in modern times; the
colossal fortunes which have been built
up by those who have been fortunate in
mining business and the knowledge that
no business on earth is so profitable as
gold mining under favorable conditions,
have tendency to turn the attention
of investors to this industry: 1t is the
knowledge of this desire on the part of
ing that prompts dishonest promoters to
choose this industry as their field for
operations. And for this reason no
other industry needs to be guarded as
much as this. Mining men who are op-
Grating legitimately have been handi-
capped by the bad effects of dishonest
promotion, fraudulent dealings, reckless
expenditure of funds and bad manage
ment, and it is their business as well as
the business of legitimate mining Jour-
nails and state officials to protect the
industry which means so much to them
The short sighted policy which induces
the business men in certain districts,
and the local press to permit by silence,
if not actually to cover up the oper-
ations of swindling stock peddlers, be-
cause they are expanding a certain
amount of money, a small percentage
of what they are receiving from inves-
tors, in the particular locality which
they have selected for their base of op-
erations, has worked an incalculable
injury to those districts.
1t takes years for mining district to
recover from the bad effects of failures,
where in most instances failures should
not have occurred, but which We're pre-
cipitated by the unbusinesslike actions
of-dishonest promoters who cared Moth
ing for the interests of the district

SOFT DRINKS
Could Not be Had Sunday,
Hot as it Was.

With the mercury in the tube
lingering in the neighborhood of
ninety degrees all day Sunday, those
who thirsted for soft drinks with
nothing to.be had for love ormoney,
contented themselves with ice water
pure and simple all day-and a long
day it was.
The authorities had, at the request
of numerous citizens, asked the
drug stores and the proprietors Of
other places where soda water, ices,
etc., are sold to stop their sale on
Sunday. The request was complied
with cheerfully, and if the boys and
young men who frequent these
places didn't go to church they alone
are to blame.

Kentucky to Be Open.

Bowling Green, KY, Aug. THE
State Board Of Health, through DR..
Mccormack. its secretary, has sent
an official communication to the To-
cal health officers of Fulton and
Wickliffe directing that the local
quarantine declared in those towns
be raised. 1t is asserted in the COM
munication that the local quarantine
is worse than useless, inducing a
false sense of security and producing
unnecessary inconvenience. 1t is
possible'that the communication will
cause a clash between the local
health authorities Of Fulton and
Wickliffe and the State Board.

bruised. He is all right now, but
received a lesson that he will not
soon forget.
James Chappell, who was driving
in a phaeton Saturday collided with
buggy. The body of his phaeton

OLDFIELD BADLY
 HURT DURING RAGE
CAR IS STRUCK AND THROWN THROUGH FENCE-HlS ENGINE HAD BEEN WORKING BADLY AND CAR SLOWED DOWN.

Detroit, Mich, August s.-Barney Old field had an almost miraculous escape from death this afternoon at the automo- bile races at Crosse Polnte track. when Dan wurgis of Lansing, Mich. coulded with his car in the first mile of the nve- mile open event Oldfeld received a badly lacerated scalp and a severely bruised arm.
 Oldheld, Webb Jay, Charles Burman and Dan Wurgis were the entries in the fve-mile open, and Jsy jumped into the
 lead at the start with Oldfeld second. At the three-quarter stretch Wurgis was fol- lowing Oldheld close to the pole and Bur man was in the middle of the track. Old fields engine suddenly be~an working badly. When Wurgis discovered that Old fields car was slowing down, he was so close that he could not turn out sharply without colliding with Burman. He shot between oldfed and Burman, but did not clear the rear of Barney's car. There was a crash and a cloud of dust Old fields machine swerved and then tore through the fence The ear went sixty feet out Into the infield and Oldfeld was thrown out Wurgis' car turned almost completely around and backed off the outside of the track down into the sta ble inclosure where Wurgis stopped 1t without injury to either the car or him self. Oldheld was carried to an ambu- lance which had been provided in fear of accidents and taken to Harper hos pital, where it was said tonight that barring unforeseen developments he would be out in a few days.
 Previous to the accident in the five mile race for the Diamond cup, Webb Jay defeated Oldfeld as impressively as he did yesterday. He jumped into the lead at the start and Oldfield was never closer than 100 feet to him throughout the five miles. Oldfield's superior driv- ing around the turns was all that pre- vented Jay from winning by an eighth of mile, instead of 15O feet.
 After the accident Lad broken up the f1ve-mle event. Jay and Burman drove five-mile race instead which Jay won in 5:21.
 The ten-mile final for the $500 trophy in which Oldfield and Jay each won heats yesterday, had to be called off after accident to Oldhed.
 Diamond cup, seven mles-Webb Jay Cleveland, won Barney Oldfeld, Cleve- land, second. Time, 452 4-5.

SLACPILE NOTES

Harry Vaughan and Mike Finn both strenuously deny the report sent out from Memphis that at the meeting of the mag mates held here last week the Birming- ham club rejected a proposition for all the Southern league clubs to pool receipts for the remainder of the season.
 No such proposition came up either in the meeting or out of it," said Finn yes- terday. "and how the Memphis corre- spondent who Is responsible for the story got hold of it I can't imagine. It does the Birmingham club a great injustice. l was present at every session of the league held here last week and I emphatically state that no such proposition ever came up. The clubs voted unanimously on every question except Charlie Franks proposal to cut each club down to twelve men and all voted against Frank on that proposition
 The correspondent who sent this story out either manufactured it out of whole cloth or he greatly misunderstood some thing or other that Judge Kavanaugh said in Memphis last Sunday" said Harry Vaughan. As MT Finn has said, no such proposition ever came up. Instead of re- fusing to pool receipts, the Birmingham club made a proposition that the other four teams play continuously for the rest of the season in Birmingham, Nashville, Memphis and Atlanta, and proposed, when rames fra psferred from auather city were. played here, to turn the park over to the visiting club and divide receipts just as if the Birmingham team was playing on the other teams grounds. So you can readily see what an injustice is done the Birmingham club by the report sent out from Memphis. The local club was at the meeting and Is now ready to do all it can for the other clubs of the league.
 '"The only matter" continued Vaughan, Ion which the clubs did not agree unani- mously was Charlie Franks proposition for each club to reduce to twelve men. I opposed this on the ground that any club which was willing to incur the ex- tra expense ought to have the right to carry as many men as 1t chose for the remainder of the season, l stated that now was the period when teams would like to try out young players for next year with a view to strengthening. Frank had a strong, compact team and could probably hold his men together for next year, because New Orleans can afford to pay the price. But the other clubs would probably lose some of their best men ano would have to begin now to get ready for next season. Alter I had made my talk Franks proposition did not get a second.'
 'I worked harder for today's game than I have worked in a long time.'' said Harry Vaughan last night, and I can tell you I was a weary man when it was over. It seemed as if our boys would never get any life into themselves and get started. It was dull game to me and was played duly by both teams, thought"
