No Arrests Have Been Made.

Since the federal grand jury has
closed its session at Boise and it was
made known that eight indictments
were made duplicating men OF proml-
hence In the Lewiston country expecta-
ton has been aroused and people have
been on the alert to know definitely
who the guilty parties were against
whom alleged frauds were charged.
This could be ascertained in no other
way than in the service of the warrants
of arrest but up till date no service
has been made.
The warrants will be sent to Captain
Schattner and the men when arrested
will in all probability be taken before
U. S. Commissioner f. O'Neill. where
their bonds will be fixed pending trial
of the cases before Judge Beatty at
Moscow in the October term. There Is
some speculation about the size OF the
bond but this is probably In the dis
cretion Of the commissioner, the only
precedent for him being the bond OF
Cornell fixed at Boise last week, which
was $1,000.

Senator Alters His Views.

Washington. July 14.-Special to the
Boise Statesman: Senator Hepburn
has written to Chief Forester Pinchot
halfway apoligizing for his violent op-
position to the recent establishment
of forest reserves in Idaho and indi-
eating that he will desist in his fight
on the administration. Senator Hey
burn does not go so far as to ACCEPT
the administrations views and pol cies
as correct. but there is confidence
among the forestry officials that there
will be no trouble about creating re-
serves in Idaho whenever the circum-
stances justify. It is inferred that SEN
ator Hepburn will not carry his fight
INTO the senate next winter, as he had
threatened to do. especially as he nov
admits that much Of his past OPPOSE
ton to the policy was based on an i'm
proper understanding of the facts.

pie, that no minor objections as to de-
tails should be permitted to interfere
with it. Experience is teaching the de-
partment what notifications are need

made as time progresses. The deoart- :
ment is not seeking to harass the peo.
pie of any community or to shut off
any industry which need not he inter.

have nothing of which they can legiti-
mately complain, while they will recog-
nize the forest reserve system as one
that will be of incalculable benefit to
all legitimate interests.
