The Enemies of Idaho.


The elimination of a series of
desperate and vindictive attacks
on Senator Hepburn by the Port
land Oregonian for his efforts to
preserve the rights of the state
he represents in national policy
occurs in that paper in an alleg-
ed interview telegraphed from
Washington. The article says
the senator was confined to his
bed in a physicians care at the
time and was suffering so much
that he finally said to the repor-
ter: Il don't intend to be badger
ed any longer. This interview
has got to close, if l have to tel
ephone for some one to put you
out" Whereupon the reporter
proceeded to cook up a lot of
alledged statements by him as
discreditable to the publisheE as
they are improbable. Aside from
the merit or demerit of the ques-
tion in controversyrthe with
drawal of % per cent of the, total
area of Idaho for the maintenance
of permanent forest reserves
the mystery is why the Portland
Oregonian seems so profoundly
determined to mar the destiny of
Idaho and weaken the usefulness
of its representatives in congress.
Several matters Of fact might be
mentioned as to why Idaho is
thus preyed upon to furnish polit-
ical capital for Oregon ambitions
and one is that the Oregonian's
political favorites being now all
convicted felons or otherwise
publicly disgraced, it must go
outside the state to exercise its
peculiar arts in congenial COM
pany; another would be the well
known fact that through the un-
fortunate failure of its brilliant
and venerated editor to secure a
senatorship it has now become a
slavish apologist for President
Roosevelt in the hope of an ap-
pointment to a foreign mission.
Either ambition is entirely wor-
thy and proper and there is every
reason to hope one or the other
will be realized, but not at the
price the Oreganian is now pay
ing in the sacrifice of character
and the destruction of human op-
portunity.
1t is still asked why Idaho OBJ
JectS to beng converted into a
vast forest and game preserve
since the underlings of the de-
partment have so recommended,
but no underling has yet shown
why it is better for the state to
remain a wilderness where there
shall not be life or industry to
disturb even the snow upon the
hillsides. Yet when Senator
Hepburn and the Idaho press and
people attempt to defend them
selves from becoming mere spoil
for political bureaucrats they are
abused with the ferocity of a
fshwife and are threatened with
the frown of imperial power. The
mere fact that Senator Hepburn

bled. "They have been lying all
along; guess they can keep it up;
they can't hurt me; none of them
can hurt me; the people of Idaho
elected me to my office; l was not
appointed by the president and
the president can't take my place
away. l don't care what he
thinks. l don't care what any
body thinks. l am sent here to
act for the people of Idaho, as
my own judgment directs, and
Pm going to do it,"
Asked how he intended to make
fight in the senate, the senator
said there would be an opportu-
nifty when the appropriation bill
came up.
"And maybe there won't be
any more appropriations for for
est reserves, he said with a sar-
castle grin.
When told that Mr.. Pinchot said
the administration had won it's
forestry fight in Idaho, the SEN
ator exclaimed:
That's another lie. That's
not so. Pinchot lies. I know
how. the people of Idaho feel;
they have not deserted me. There
has not been change of senti-
ment out there. l know it now.
| know what it has been all along
and | am acting for the people,"
When attention was again di-
rected to the published CORE
spondence, Mr.. Hepburn said:
That correspondence shows
you lied about me, don't it?"
"Quite the contrary" was the
reply.
Your published letter shows who
lied. 1t sustains what was said
about you in these dispatches"
THAT is another lie," thunder
ed Hepburn. =.
Shifting bag of crushed ice
and rolling over, Mr.. Heyburn
finally exclaimed:
Il don't intend to be badgered
any longer. This interview has
got to close if 1 have to telephone
Tor some one to put you out. "
Because of his irritability and
his unwillingness to be interview
ed, although he consented to the
interview, it was impossible to
get from Mr.. Hepburn any ex-
PLANTATION of his interest in the
fraudulent entrymen from Wal
lace and neighboring cities who
tried to acquire some of the best
timber land in Shoshone county.
Nor could any definite interview
be obtained, though an offer was
made to priiit any statement he
might dictate. He made it plain
however, that he resents the pub
lication of his letters and, when
opportunity presents, will try to
organize enough senators to shut
off the appropriation for forest
service and endeavor by legisla-
tive act to abolish some of the
existing reserves in Idaho and
prevent the creation of any addi-
tional reserves, except by his
consent; something that is utterly
unattainable. Mr.. Hepburn ap-
parently will have no further in
tercourse with the president on
forestry.

THAT INTERVIEW?
Alleged by the 0regonian to be from
Senator Hepburn.

Following is the journalistic
abortion said by the Oregonian to
be the interview accorded it's rep
resentative at Washington by
Senator Hepburn on the admins
tration's forest reserve" policy.
Says that erratic sheet:
"Senator Hepburn is confined
to his room with an attack of the
appendicitis. He arrived here on
the first train from New York
and went at once to Stoneleigh
Court, where a physician was
waiting. The doctor is unable as
yet to tell whether an operation
will be necessary, but the senator,
who suffers considerably, hopes
to recover without surgical aid.
Although confined to bed, the
senator consented to see the Ore
gonian correspondent this after
noon, but absolutely. refused to
make any connected declarations
of his future course regarding
Idaho forest reserves. He will
not call on the president while
here, nor pay any attention to
forestry matters, but will leave
for Idaho when able to leave.
Asked if he was now ready to
abide by the Administrations for
estry policy or intended to carry
his fight into the senate, Mr.. Hey
burn hotly replied:
II will do what 1 please when
I get ready. Forest reserves
don't interest me just now, and
I won't bother about them. They
don't interest my constituents as
much as the papers try to make
it appear.
Administrations policyp' he
added with a sneer. >"Who made
the administrations policy? Pres
ident Roosevelt is not the whole
government. He is not a men,
ber of any legislative body-I am.
Congress makes policies; the
president don't. There is a time
and place where | will have my
say, and when that time comes
you will see what l intend to do. 3"
Then it is to be inferred you will
carry your fight into the senator"
Infer what you please; say
what you please and say l said
it. I don't care anything about
it. Newspapers don't run things
in Idaho;, they can't scare me;
they can't dictate to me; nobody
can dictate to me. ] am not a
servant of the president; ! am
his peer, and as for Pinchot and
the rest of those underlings, l
don't care anything, about them;
Pm through with them"
"Mr. Pinchot and Governor
Gooding have reached an under
standing as to forest reserves in
Idaho, - was suggested.
eff you think Gooding has
changed, ask him." snapped the
senator and in the next breath he
sneered: "Pinchot and Gooding
have agreed to deal out lands in
Idaho. 2 Who gave them author
ity? It's. not their land; they
can't give it away any more than
| can give away the kingdom of
heaven, 1t is all foolishness.
Congress gave the state sections
16 and sc; Pinchot and Gooding
can't take these sections away
from the state" Mr.. Hepburn
was considerably surprised to
learn that the president had made
public all the correspondence
bearing on the Idaho reserves
and that the letters had been
published as a government doc

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, August 4.-The Stock
Exchange had quite q lively hour fol-
lowing the opening today and the mar
ket showed more consistency and
strength during that period than at
any time during the week. With the
subsistence of the early active de-
mand dropping tendency in the
standard stocks became observable
The heaviness had no more news to
explain it than did the early strength.
The active buying of the first hour
was professedly based on growing
confidence in the grain crops and it
was sought to convey the impression
that information was available to the
buyers on this subject through the
arrangements for securing supplies by
the great cereal-producing companies
Record prices for Central Railroad
of New Jersey and for Northern Pa
cific, with the exception of prices
touched during the corner in the latter
stock. were the consequence. Ameri-
can Smelling was another stock to
touch new high record price. A
number of minor stocks made their
first appearance on the tape fol
months to be moved upwards with
CoalerS and the Southern group rested
after their previous advance.
The early strength in Union Pacific
: was explainable by the reports of net
earnings for that system and fol-
Southern Pacific for June, showing al
increase over the preceding June
which reached nearl n million dol
lars for the two systems. The check
to the buying which showed in the
later market may have been due to
| consideration of the bank statement
forecast. 1t was notable, however thai
an easier tone was reported in the
market for time loans and for cal
loans there was hardly demand fol
| what was offered

! market continued up to the closing.

New York, August 4.-The cotton

after the opening prices advanced to

finals on the active months. On this
trifiing bulge, leading bear traders sold
very aggressively, and soon filled up
the demand, after which prices broke
severely catching stop orders on a
scale down. Around 1870 for October
