UNLESS all signs fail the caucus of Re-
publican members of the Assembly which
is being held in Trenton to-day will select
Hon. Samuel K. Robbins for Speaker
of the House. This is a deserved tribute
to worthy official, and we are glad to
know that Mr. Robbins has been able to
gain the position which will be handed
him despite the opposition of those who
seemed to think they were to control
the actions of members from every part
of the State. The refusal of Mr.. Robbins
to give pledges In advance to support all
measures to be presented by the up-Jersey
coterie without knowing their full import,
even at the risk of being defeated for
Speaker. has given our member an envia
BILE record as fair and honorable man.
In speaking of his course in refusing to
make unqualified pledges Mr.. Robbins
made the following statement:
1.-THE charge that my election as Speaker
is being promoted by any private or cor
porate influence, and will be a setback
to limited franchise or equal taxation or
any of the questions now before the peo-
pie, is absolutely and uqualiiedly false.
am as good friend of equal taxation
and limited franchise as there Is In the
State. If I should be elected Speaker
these measures would have an absolute
clear path in the House of Assembly SO
far as am concerned. The House Of As
sembly represents the people of this State
and all sections of the State. 1t has
right to select It's own Speaker with
out interference from outside influence.
lam a candidate for Speaker in good faith,
representing no faction and standing upon
my legislative record. If elected, l shall
aim to deal with absolute impartiality and
fairness toward all measures that may
come before the House of Assembly.
To indicate my course upon any measures
liable to come before the House would be
prejudgment, which would of itself i'm :
pair such impartiality. shall not in ad-
vance pledge myself to support one men,
ber's bills as against another's. but shall
maintain such an attitude that, If elected
o preside over the House of Assembly
/ shall be free to act as the impartial
servant of that House and accord to all
measures fair and impartial treatment

0EK of the surprises Of the past week
was the decision of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to abolish the pass system and
refuse to give free transportation to any
but those who are strictly entitled to it.
This privilege has grown to an extent
that would surprise the public If it could
be made known. Passes were given out
to politicians, ward workers, heelers, In
fact there were few who could not get free
transportation by the mere asking. This
is all TO be cut out and the saving to the
company will be great. Even if the pas
senger rates are not affected, there will be
more revenue flow into the railroad treas
ury and improvements to some Of the
side roads may become more sthan annual
talk. Following the lead Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company other lines
have also agreed to abolish the free pass
system.

and others.
AS is we'll known, Senator Hepburn
has made, and is still making, a most
vigorous fight at this wholesale exclus-
ion of the public domain. In this he
has been aided to some extent by petit
tions from the citizens of the affected
districts, but if necessary, and it seems
to be, a more numerously signed and
stronger petition for exemption from
this disaster should be presented to the
proper authorities and thus convey re-
doubled assurance to the department
that Senator Heyburn's continued pro-
test is receiving the complete and en-
phatic endorsement of his constituents.
While the initial object of the agri-
cultural department, the conservation
of the natural water supply of the state,
may be sufficiently laudable, the forest
reserve system as projected is not likely
to bring the greatest good to the great
est number. We believe that it is now
generally admitted by scientists that
the disastrous effects of denundation of
timber lands have been greatly exag-
gerated. The cultivation of the soil
that usually succeeds the work of the
lumberman is equally efficacious in
maintaining the precipitation as the
growing forests and where the land is
not cultivated or heavily pastured ma
ture soon repairs the damage done by
by the axe or the still more destructive
firebrand, and dense growth of trees
six feet high preserve the condition ex-
pected by the agricultural department
quite as well as if they were sixty feet
high.
But it is the condition and not the
theory that we have to deal with in the
present instance, and the people of this
county and the state generally should
support Senator Hepburn in the fight
which he is making, by every lawful
means, for the subject is matter of
the gravest concern to this and adjoin-
ing counties, both north and south, and
incidentally of the entire state.

FOREST RESERVE POLICY.
Wardner News.

The proposed withdrawal of millions
of acres of the public lands in Idaho
from settlement, to be formed into for
est reserves, is the most serious problem
confronting the people of this state at
the present. Such a condition would
retard the development of this region in
a most serious manner, and to very
great degree. 1t would be an excellent
thing for the bears. cougars and other
Wild animals, but would place grievous
check upon the advancement of civiliza-
ton and the general prosperity of the
state, and this would apply particularly
to the counties of Shoshone, Nez Perce

AN EXPLANATION.

Harpster, May IL, 1905.
Editor Elk City Mining News,
Dear Sir:-As you have seen fit to
use the columns of your paper to belittle
my efforts to furnish Elk City with a
satisfactory telephone service, kindly
permit me to use the same columns to
explain a few things for the benefit Of
a few who might think the Stites-Ell;
City telephone line was classed among
the great trusts of the country.
am not surprised that some fellow
with q sour stomach, who perhaps may
have been sending his first message
over the line, should complain that he
is not furnished metropolitan service,
but l was quite surprised that the ed
itor of the Mining News, who is identi-
fled with the country, and who knows
something of the drawbacks and OBJ
stacles that lbeset the development Of
an enterprise in new country, and es-
pecially when that enterprise is on a
government forest reserve.
| wish to say to the patrons of the
telephone line, that at none of the sta
tions do we have an operator who de-
votes all of his time answering calls;
neither does the business of the line
justify the employment of such an OPP
orator even for one station, much more
at several stations along the line.
The operators at all of the stations
have other business affairs to attend to,
and we simply do the best we can under
the circumstances. Regarding the time
referred to, about having all the oper-
ators along the line trying to ring up
Harpster, | beg to state that the phone
at Harpster was out of order at the
time, for two days, and it was not nee
essary to have called up Harpster to
send off message, as Sites or Grange
vile could have been called up at any
time, and this goes to prove that some
one would rather make kick than to
offer encouragement to another who is
trying to overcome difficulties.
| will say to the prominent mining
man" who has such kick coming, and
to all others, that they certainly know
something of the nature of the country
traversed by this line, and they must
know that it is hard to keep a line up
where trees are almost constantly fall
ling and with storms and other elements
to contend with, all these making many
and frequent breaks in the wire, and
these breaks have to be repaired by
some one in hurry and who does not
have the tools or experience to do a
good job, thereby imparing the ringing
power over the line, thus necessitating
the ringing by relays, as you say.
However, am doing the best l can
to. overcome these difficulties and as
fast as l can, and especially as the bus
mess over the line justifies, l intend to
make the service as satisfactory as
possible, and as you say, it beats moth
ing. So does the Elk City wagon road;
so does the Elk City paper; SO does the
present railroad at Sites, although so
many would like to have it run through
their front yard.
Very Resp'y,
VI C.. OLIVER
Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1905-05-20

We publish elsewhere letter from
II. C. Oliver in which he takes the ed
itor to task for permitting this papers
columns to be used for the purpose of
criticising, or as he terms it, ''belittle-
ing the telephone service between Elk
City and Sites.
The editor has no desire to enter into
a controversy with Mr.. Oliver about
what should or should not be published
by the Mining News; he will simply say
that the columns of the paper are open
to anyone who has, or even thinks they
have, legitimate kick coming.
Further, the editor did not understand
that Mr.. divers efforts were being
criticised, but his apparent lack of effort
in the direction mentioned. We are in
Termed that the line has been kept up
in such repair as it received by the stage
drivers, freighters, and casual travellers.
If Mr.. Oliver, or anyone in his interest,
has been over the line since its construc-
ton last fall, we have not heard of it,;
certainly they did not come this far.
Further, no exception was taken to
the service of any of the stations along
the line other than Harpster, where Mr..
Oliver lives, and which is as far as a
message can be transmitted with any
degree of certainty that it will be under
stood, except under the most favorable
conditions. We know that under exist
ing conditions the line cannot be kept
in first-clast shape We also know that
it can be kept in better repair than it
has been receiving, and it is this know
ledge that prompted the editor to per-
nit small echo of the general protest
to find space in his paper.
Finally, personal regard for Mr..
Oliver as a man is why the editor has
treated this matter as leinently as
possible this far. In that spirit he will
offer Mr. Oliver the advice that he
make an effort to give better service to
the public or he will find another Rich
mond in the field. AS for the Elk City
wagon road, it will be replaced by a
better, or railroad. within two years.
We will not discuss the merits of the
Elk City paper, or the Northern Pacific
railway; it is not apparent that either
have any bearing on the subject under
discussion, and as Mr.. Oliver says he
will give better telephone service in the
future (which, by the way, was all that
he need have said at alD, we will close
the incident.

is not only necessary for the prosperous;
