spokesman Review

SnooAboh AtofioWJ
Senator Dubois OF Idaho is deserv-
ing of commentator for his farsee-
ing and statesmanlike position on the
question of forest reserves in that
state. A cheap politician would be
tempted to oppose the policies OF
President Roosevelt, but Senator Du-
bois has risen above petty partizan
ship. Convinced that the president
and Clifford Pinchot, the chief fores-
ter of the United States. are animated
by good and wise motives in dealing
with the forest wealth of his state.
Senator Dubois is giving them his
most vigorous support He is look
ing to the future welfare and EROS
perity of his constituents. He sees
that these forests must be protected
10 order that the waters of that state
may be conserved for irrigation, and
also that the great mining industry
may be carried on advantageousIy in
future.
1t is possible that the details of the
presidents forest policy may carry
some minor defects, but there is every
reason to believe that if these are
pointed out, the administration will
be prompt to make advisable altera
tions.
Senator Dubois has addressed to
President Roosevelt a remarkably
comprehensive letter, dealing with
the forest and other resources in
Idaho. 1t is doubted If moro
thorough and informative review of
the states interests has ever been
published. The Spokesman Review

Saturday afternoon. A defective fiue
was the cause of the disastrous con-
fiagration and by the time the fire de-

interesting Description Of What
is About to be Accomplished
There.

The editor of the Elko Independent,
who has just returned from visit to .ne
new experimental farm in Lincoln coun-
ty. prints the following description of the
new farm that Nevada will experiment
with.
mostly virgin land, donated to the State
by Charles Cobb, H. B. Mills and H. j.
Church. The land lies in a compact body
short distance from the Logan post
office and is on the main road from
Moapa to Overton, a small town about
five miles further down the valley. The
land slopes from east and westto East
creek which runs nearly through the
center of the farm and to the south. 1t
is mostly covered with mosquito and
mescrew bushes and thick tough sod
called ''siccatone." This sod is so tough
that one can hardly cut through its tops
with an axe.
The valley in which the farm lies Is
from fifteen to twenty miles wide and
about thirty-five miles long 1t was first
settled by the Mormons in the early six
ties, who improved the land and raised
large crops of hay and grain. They built
the town of ST. Joseph. and were getting
along nicely when Brigham Young sew
eral years later ordered them out of the
valley because the survey of the line be-
tween Utah and Nevada threw them INTO
the latter. The order came when their
crops were ready for bountiful harvest.
