The more tho matter Of the sand con-
tract between the James River Improve

4 is agitated, tho more clearly It seems to
be demonstrated that there was no wrong
in the transaction, but that the contro-

of difference OF opinion between the
City Engineer and members of the com
n,ittee as to what should be the city's
policy on the subject.
Mr.. z. 7. D. Myers. Jr., member OF
the James River Improvement Commit

seen last night in regard to the selling OF
sand, and in response to inquiry made

is, for the actual expense Of ore
transportation. Interest on the
cost of the railroad and the ex-
pense of keeping up the road
would increase the expense some
what; but even so it would be far
less expensive than it is at pres
ent. The Homestake company
fully demonstrated the value of
owning its own narrow-gauge
railroad more than twenty years
ago. When a proposition of this
character is too large for a single
company to undertake, the COM
bination of several neighboring
companies for the purpose is not
by any means a new idea. There
is usually a way to circumvent
extortionate charges for any SER
vice, and combination is usually
the best means of accomplishing
the desired end. A somewhat
similar state of affairs is threat
ened in Cripple Creek, Colo,

Cost of Transportation.
Secretary.

Many of the mines of the nor
them Bladk Hills, South Dakota,
are so situated that it has been
found necessary to place their
mills at a distance, often of sew
eral miles, from the mines, the
ore being hauled by the railroad
companies to the mills of the sew
eral companies or to custom mills.
An official report recently issued
by the Dakota Mining & Milling
company shows that, although
the property was vigorously
worked and the mill kept en-
ployed, the heavy cost of mining,
transportation and milling alb
sorbed all the revenue derived
from these operations, the trans
portation costs being an import
ant item of this expense.
The company's mines are at
Bald Mountain and the 30-stamp,
wet-crushing cyanide mill at
Deadwood, about eight miles from
the mines. The ores are worth
nominally about S. per ton, and,
considering the good showing of
profit made by some other similar
mines where the ores are no bet
ter, but where the transportation
problem is not a factor, the COM
pany owning the mills at the
mines, it is evident in the case
of the Dakota company that the
railroads are the only ones who
derive a substantial benefit from
the operation of this mine. There
are several mills in Deadwood
which treat ore from the mines at
Bald mountain and Terry's peak,
and unless lower rates Of trans
portation are made, it is said all
of these mills must close. Water
| is scarce in the Bald mountain
and Terry's peak region, these
mountains being at the highest
part of the drainage area, and il
is therefore inexpedient to place
the mills at the mines. There are
instances of record where mining
companies similarly situated con
structed a local railroad and have
hauled their ore a distance Of si1
miles-nearly as far as in the
case above cited-for II cent,
per ton. In the Dakota case i
should not exceed 20 cents on ;

Hyburn's Position.
Pierce City, Miner.

There have been a good many
published statements in different
newspapers recently regarding
the proposed additional forest re-
serves in this state, and regard
ing the stand which Senator w.
B. Hepburn has taken in the
matter. Some Of these state
ments are misleading and evil
IDENTIFY had their origin in the
brain of some one who not only
wishes to belittle the efforts of
the senator in his fight for the
best interests of Idaho and all the
people thereof, but who would
stand in if possible with the gang
of grafters who would rob the
state of her public land and shut
off the possibility of settlement
and improvement upon millions
of acres within her borders. Sen
ator Hepburn has the right side
.of this questionable peoples
side-and if it were left to the
people of the state there would
be no doubt of his being on the
winning side. But people of the
state do not apparently cut much
figure in the matter. The scheme
seems to have been a deeply laid
one, which has been eliminating
in the minds of the schemers for
some years. who have in one way
and another succeeded in elicit
ing the sympathy and support OF
many eastern men high in official
life, who have been led to believe
that the unborn generations are
being robbed Of firewood and that
all kinds of dire disaster was
sure to befall the nation if Idaho's
public domain is not reserved
from settlement. 1t is this ele-
ment with which Senator Hey.
burn has to contend, and that il
is a strong element can plainly
be seen. Already several of the
Withdrawals of public land il
this state have been made per
manent-in every case agains
the wishes of the people. Sen
ator Hepburn is opposed to all O
these additional reserves anC
proposes to make fight to hav'
them restored to settlement. Tha

sition, but if he should succee'

Are on the Run.

Recently the forestry graft SER
vice press bureau at Washington
sent out to such western papers
as was rotton enough to publish
it, a communication to the effect
that Senator Hepburn not only
abandoned the people on the for
est reserve question, but apol~
ogized to Clifford Pinchot for
taking that position in the first
place.
The senator's reply to those vii
famous aspersions has a direct
ness and a crispness very satisfy
ing to the spirit of an American.
In his communication to the Boise
Statesman he brands the spec
ial" as a "mendacious falsehood,
containing no true statement as
to what l have done or intend to
do, and "a cowardly falsehood
from beginning to end," and re-
iterates his intention to carry the
matter into congress the next
session.
Replying to another scurrilous
article eminating from the same
source and which found shelter
in the columns of the same con-
duits of journalistic sewage, the
Oregonian, Boise Statesman and
Spokesman Review, which stated
that the senator by his course in
the forest reserve matter had in
Cured the "displeasure" of the
president, the senator indignantly
repelled the SANDER, endowing
as it did the president with such
a narrow, petty and bigoted spir-
it, and made it dazlingly clear
that in any case whether he in
Cured the displeasure of Mr..
Roosevelt or not, he was with his
constituents till the end of the
war.
This campaign of SANDER re-
Gently adapted, is in keeping with
that Of misrepresentation which
has been worked by the forces
behind this forest reserve move
ment, and we believe can be safe
ly taken as an indication that
those same forces are getting
desperate at the prospect of an
open discussion Of the subject
which Mr.. Hepburn is able and
clever enough to secure in the u.
S. Senate.
Banking as they undoubtedly
were on a divided press, south
against north, upon this vital
subject, it must have been a
source Of surprise and chagrin
to those self appointed safe
guardians" of future generations
to find every intelligent and re-
