OPPOSE FOREST RESERVE
Congressman French Forwards Protest
Petition From Idaho Residents
to Washington.

A special from Moscow to the
the Spokesman-Review says that
Congressman Burton L. French
has forwarded to the agricultural
department at Washington a pc
tition signed by many citizens of
all north Idaho protesting against
the creation of forest reserves in
the northern part Of the state.
Mr.. French declares himself op-
posed to the creation Of further
reserves in this part of the state,
and says he will fight the matter
to the last.
Il am opposed to the creation of
forest reserves in north Idaho, !"
said Congressman French. In
some parts Of the southern part
Of the state near the headwaters
of large streams and tributaries
it is undoubtedly wise to care for
the forest growth and to encour-
age it, but I do not doubt but
what the department is far ex-
ceeding that which conditions
warrant in contemplating the
establishment of forest reserves
in north Idaho.
Il believe that every section of
land in north Idaho that is good
for agricultural purposes should
not be included in forest reserves,
but should be left open for settle
ment to the home builder. Much
of the land which is covered with
timber at present will be splendid
agricultural land as soon as the
timber is removed. 1t is vel
known that land in this part oil
the United States differs from
land in the eastern states in this
respect; that it is valuable fol
agricultural purposes after hav.
ling produced a splendid growth
of timber.
The Withdrawals that have
been made are temporary, and i
is my purpose to furnish the de
partment with abundant informa
ton to show why north Idah,
should not be turned into fores
reserves.

PinchoG After Idaho.

The forestry bureau is trying
to play smash with Idaho. 1t
looks like a conspiracy to deprive
the state of one of its greatest
industries and its prosperity. If
the scheme Of the bureau is sue
cessful it will withdraw nearly
five million acres of timber lands
from entry and use. Much of
this land lies along river bottoms
and is more valuable for agricul-
tural purposes than it is for the
timber that is on the soil, and if
it is withdrawn from entry it will
deprive thousands of people of
homes in the finest climate in
the union. Senator Hepburn
has already lodged a vigorous
protest against the course Of the
bureau, and it may be necessary
for the people of Idaho to send
monster petition to Washington
to sustain him in his course, to
convince the agricultural depart
ment that the bureau is encroach-
ing upon the rights Of citizens of
a sovereign state, for it is an en-
croachment to deprive communi-
ties of free access to the public
domain not in any sense necessary
for the general government. -

The more serious aspect of
the case, however, as l view it,
is the blow that Inaho's state in
stitutions are receiving through
this forest reserve business. The
desirable lands remaining to be
selected by the state are in the
timber belt. With all this land
gobbled up by the national gov
ernment, will there be any avail
able land left for the selection to
be made? | do not recall that
Senator Hepburn has brought out
this point in his fight against the
department program, and | be-
lieve every citizen will appreciate
the Importance of the loss to
Idaho, if the reserves are created.
''It is said that Senator Dubois
has taken a position against Sem
atOr Heyburn on this matter.
This does not surprise me. Du-
bois has always stood in with
department plans at Washington
in order to be in favor with the
bureau there which. gives wide
advertisement to the work Of it's
favorites. If more jobs are Gre
ated, more relatives of the de-
partment can secure positions,
and those persons in turn adver-
tise Dubois. The senator is a
great believer in newspaper ad-
vertising, while Senator Hepburn
is unacquainted with or doesn't
seem to care about such things in
his public work"

Returned from Big Creek.

Messrs. S. M. Salisbury Of Alb
erdeen, S. D., and J. 7. Mccoy
of Washington, D. c., heavy
stockholders in the Pueblo Mining
company, whose properties are
situated on the head Of Smith
creek, in Big creek district, re-
turned to this city Saturday last.
Both gentlemen report a fine trip.
They are highly pleased with
their property and have many
good things to say Of the districts
they have passed through on their
in to their property.
Except for the recent heavy
snow fall they report the Dixie
Big creek trail in fine shape, and
they assure us that this route
will receive attention from the
various companies operating in
the Big creek section.
In speaking Of their own par
ticular property Mr.. Mccoy said:
I'VE have always had faith in
the Big creek district. We could
not choose but believe that a Sec
ton with such surface indications
would in time produce some great
mines. We now have a property
which, for the amount Of work
done on it, is certainly a wonder.
At the present depth we have 16
feet Of clean, milling ore. We
believe in deep prospecting; in
staying with our ore shoot till
satisfied as to it's extent, expect
ing to run our working tunnel
later. Mr.. /. H. Friar, the sup
erintendent, has had a force OF
four men at work for year on
the property and is, rapidly put
ting it in shape for mill, which
will be installed before snow flies,
should the promised wagon road
be constructed into that district.

Burke and Sendker have quit
work on the Great Eastern for
the time being, and the former
has joined forces with Ed Davis
in opening up some placer ground
near the Ajax.
Henry Hazlitt is laid up with a
bad case of poison oak. That is
at least one crop that he has rails
ed on his Salmon river ranch.
He says he didn't know there was
any poison oak III the country;
but experience is good (if some
time rash) teacher.
Mr.. Brown, he who gained no.
toriety the past winter by trying
to hold the tamping in with his
stomach, is again on the hospital
list. This time he is laid up with
a badly bruised foot. While
working alone in a tunnel, a cave
in occurred, which for a time
threatened to keep Brown prison
er for an indefnate period. After
working at the rock pile for some
time that kept him prisoner, he
succeed in releasing his limb; but
it will be some time before the
foot will be Of any use to him.

"It is just plain moonshine, "
said Ex-Governor Mcconnell yes
terday when questioned by a
Tribune reporter as to his view
of the forest reserve movement
in Idaho. Governor Mcconnell
arrived yesterday afternoon from
Moscow on a business trip and
will return this morning. He
said:
''The Creation Of those Clear
water reserves will not and can
not serve the purpose that is
claimed by the department. AS
l understand it an object of the
reserve is to conserve natures
water storage. Nature, however,
makes its own reserves. Any
body acquainted with the Clear
water forests will tell you that
the thick timber, or more clearly,
the marketable timber, lies along
the immediate river basin where
there are no deep SHOWS or no
snow at all. In the higher snow
country the timber is inferior and
not of a merchantable grade and
therefore will not be moved, eX-
cept to meet the limited demands
of the mining industry. This re-
serve movement seems to me to
be but another step to create
more jobs for the officeholders.
1t is true that agents are doing
some good in preventing the theft
of timber from the government,
but the forest reserve menance
has gone beyond such purpose.

generally by the original locators.
The deeper diggings or the glac-
ial deposits such as the Buffalo
Hill. the Gold Hill, Ternan Hill
and Moose and Leggett creeks
are still being more or less extern
sively operated, and still have
thousands of yards of gravel in
reserve.
The Buffalo Hill placer is sit
uated about one mile southwest
of Elk City on the north side of
American river. The body of
gravel originally comprised about
180 acres, about half of which has
been mined. Lack of adequate
fall, however, in the old tail race
put a period to the profitable
mining from the point originally
opened, but this obstacle is being
overcome by taking in an open
cut from the southwest which
will tap the gravel bank below
the level of bedrock, thus enabl-
ing the company to get rid Of the
tailings.
The Ternan Hill diggings are
lying idle for lack of capital, anC
the Gold Hill is being operated
in a small way, while the Moose
Creek and Leggett Creek dig
gings are operated steadily, it is
understood, with excellent re.
suits.

MARRIED FOR FIFTY YEARS

On Sunday last, September "a, Mr..
and Mrs. Carl Dickman had been
married and had lived together as
man and wife for fifty years, nearly
half of which time they made their
home in Grand Rapids, and in view
of this fact they invited number of
their friends to help them celebrate
the anniversary in the shape of a
golden wedding. At their pleasant
home at 651 Ninth street the friends
gathered in the afternoon and even
ing Sunday, and passed that part of
the day in merry making in honor of
the event.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Dickman were
married in Germany, September "a,
1856. They lived in the Fatherland
till 1884, when they came to America
and to Grand Rapids. While in the old
country Mr.. Dickmsn served ia two
wars for Germany, and with distinc-
tion in each. When they came to
Grand Rapids in 1884, the city was, of
course, a great deal smaller than it is
now but realizing that it would one
day be good town, they concluded to
make their home here. which they
did.
There have been six children born
to them, all Of whom are living. Five
were girls, and the other a boy; all
live in Grand Rapids except a
daughter, Mrs. Lizzie Stahl, of Mil
waukee, who was unable to attend
the celebration. All of the children
of the long married couple are also
married and all have children of their
own. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickman, though
we'll along in years, being in the
seventies, are hale and hearty and
enjoying the best of health and they
expect to live to enjoy many another
anniversary celebration.
Rev. Mack was present and per-
formed the renewal ceremony and
conducted short service. After the
service a supper such as can be served
only at German household was par
taken of by the guests, and after the
supper merrymaking continued till
late in the evening, Before supper,
Mcneil the photographer took a
picture of the guests present, which
picture represented the three genera.
tions of the Dickman family, together
with the friends who helped to
celebrate the golden wedding of the
elder couple. Monday afternoon the
German Lutheran ladies' aid society
Of the east side surprised the couple
at their home, and presented them
with large extension dining table.
At the celebration of Sunday many
valuable and pretty presents were
given them also, by their many
friends.
