| The first consideration is to the
citizens of the state. They are
above the average American citi-
zenship as shown by the census.
A larger percentage of the citizens
of Idaho own their own homes than
In most any state in the Union.
The family life in Idaho is shown
to be above the average standard.
The percentage of American blood
in Idaho is greater than that of
the New England states. The
laws of the land are respected in
Idaho to as great an extent and
with as fervid a patriotism as in
any state of the Union. Railroads
are being constructed as rapidly as
in any other state. Great irriga-
tion and reclamation projects are
being pressed in southern Idaho
upon a plan that promises growth
that will equal, if not exceed, that
of any other state in the immediate
future. North Idaho has vast
wealth fields and produces all the
fruits of the market. Shoshone
county produces more than half the
lead product of the United States.
She produces millions of dollars in
gold and silver. She has the finest
white pine timber lands now re-
naming in the United States. 1t
is intersected by splendid rivers
and their tributaries to its very
borders on the east.
There is another proposed forest
reserve called an addition to the
Bitter Root forest reserve, which
is shown in green upon the accom-
panying map. 1t includes the
town of Newsome, place of con-
siderable business importance which
has existed for at least 40 years.
I have visited this place myself.
There are prosperous commercial
institutions there, hotels. resi-
dences, gardens, orchards, mead
ows. farms and mining. The
town of Florence shown within the
proposed addition to the Bitter
Root forest reserve is the second
Oldest town in Idaho. 1t is the
center of mining region but sur
rounded by the class of homes
incident to such countries where
they have orchards and raise all
sorts of garden truck to supply the
miners, and Craze or farm as the
land may be adapted to those pur-
poses. The state wagon road of
Idaho traverses this reserve for
many miles. This road was built
at an expense of over $500, 600 by
the state for the purpose of en-
abling the people to get into this
very country, because it was a
promising and profitable field for
settlers, and now it is proposed to
withdraw the very country from
settlement that the state was at
such heavy expense to open for
that purpose. 1t extends almost
to the banks of the Little Salmon
river down which is surveyed
line of railway now under con-
struction, and it proposes to tie up
the country, and that was in
tended to feed that railroad, for SO
miles or more.
Mr.. President: give Idaho a
chance to grow; leave the door
open to settlement and trust some
what to the integrity. loyalty and
patriotism OF the citizens of the
state.
l most respectfully ask that you
shall take such action as will
restore the lands withdrawn, and
proposed to be withdrawn, to
settlement and induce rather than
discourage the homeseekers to come
to Idaho.
Respectfully submitted.
w. B. Hepburn.

 The srowsh in speculative confidence had even amongst. the railroad stocks immedi. crops to be moved. the he eariy movement was irregular and halting.

 Before the day was over the irregular character of the market was repaired to advance had been achieved by the process of rotation from one point to another. fiigh ture ' and the sensational movements in this class exceeded in number and extent any thing witnessed in the stock market with in the memory of man.
 Not much attention was paid to the con- stant rumors of transfer and combination explanations for many of these movements. The stocks affected were varied and so of comparison that the rumors concerned them so far as they sought to associate
 Tn This ' feverisn movement was still sus- pected of being of manipulative origin. But the difficulty of operating In such mercurial securities on any ordinary marginal trans action and the enormous resources required for their actual taking up in such "olume the transactions of yesterday and today represent added to the mystery of the move ment. Its demonstration of the tenacious hold of owners of these shares even at the phenomenal price levels maintained was taken as strong e nfidence in future valIes

This in spite involved in the more active speculation in the stock market. especially in the specu- lation of very high priced stocks.
 The estimat .s of the currency market for the week were also significant as showing for the first t'me this season that the banks have lost cash to the interior on the month ly balance of movement.

GRAF wELDERsEE ARRIVES.
Was Caught in Fierce storm of Au.
 gust 2-

New York, Aug. 11.-For twenty four hours the Hamburg American liner Graf Waldersee driftcd at the mercy of q hurricane which struck her during the trans Atlantic voyage which the steamship finished today in safety
 On arrival at her pier today only two hours late. the passengers held a recep- tion to thank Captain A Krech for bringing them safely through the greatest storm experienced in the his tory of the Graf Waldersee and prob ably one of the worst ever faced by an Atlantic liner.
 The storm began on the morning of August ?. A few hours later waves were rolling over the ship. all passen- gers were locked beneath decks and bags of oil were hung over the ships sides for thirty-six hours as protec- ton During twenty-four hours the waves ran so high that the steering gear of the liner was inadequate to keep her in her course and the ship practically drifted with the storm. Some life boats and deck superstructures were carried Uverboard by the waves. At the height of the storm a baby was born in the steerage and named after the ship.

Lesson In Geography.

Why Is Plttsburg called a Western city by the New York papers? Is it because there is something more than mere Idle talk In the phrase the "effete east (even when used in reference to our own codntry). whereas Pittsburg Is suggestive of good red blood and un- corrupted vigor? We don't resent the description of Western town" at all. but if this is West, what term is to be employed in geosr aphically describing Chicago. Milwaukee, St. Paul. Kansas City or, farther away still, Denver, and worst of all. San Francisco?
