The Christmas trade which closed
Saturday night finished up one of the
best seasons which Augusta merchants
have enjoyed for years, and was. as one
of them said yesterday afternoon. a
record breaker. Saturday afternoon and
evenings trade was fitting climax for
the week. The storm interferred some
what IN the forenoon, but after dinner
people seemed to forget that it was
Storli ing. and the crowd that was on
the Street from that time until late in
the evening was the largest of the
week. Many people from Richmond and
other down river places and also from
Winthrop helped swell the ihrong and
give to Augusta one of the greatest
days for Christmas trade that any Of
the merchants recall.

BoIsterinq up His Cause.

1t is reported in the newspapers
that Clifford Pinchot, chief forester
of the United States, has decided to
visit Idaho in the near future, and
by a personal inspection of the for
est reserves areas in this State Sc
cure arguments favorable to the es-
tablishment of these reserves, which
the dispatches also state were Gre
ated on his recommendation, which
recommendation was given at the
instances and on the advice OF as
sistants in whom he had confidence.
If Mr.. Pinchot is coming out here
for the purpose of bolstering up his
action in recommending something
of which he knew nothing, and aP-
parently no one of his advisers
knew enough to furnish him argu'
ment in favor of his recommends
tions, there seems little doubt that
he will be able to satify himself

doc" Martin, upon being re-
leased from Jail at Grangeville after
six months Imprisonment for lar
ceny, was re arrested on a charge
of arson, and will probably have to
answer the more serious charge OF
murder. He is suspected of hav-
ing killed John F. Kroll, a pros
pector, about year ago. Kroll,
whose body has never been found,
was last seen with Martin, on Big
creek and the latter, a few days
later, sold the missing mans effects,
Upon the return of the deputy sher-
if who has gone to investigate the
matter, says the Grangeville Free
Press, the prisoner will be formally
charged with this crime.
Martin is said to belong to q
well-to-do eastern family. but is an
opium and various other kinds Of
iend and has been abandoned by
his relatives.

have been detained at Garden VAL

Going, down the mountain between
Garden Valley and Round Valley,
the tongue of Mr.. Allebaugh's
buggy broke, the team ran away
and the vehicle was upset, throw
ing the occupants violently to the

severe bruises On the right hip and
was unable to continue the journey.
She is not dangerously hurt and

that he was amply justified in rec
onmending such action. Under
such conditions he would be a queer
faddist if he was not able to see
things in just the light in which
he wished to see them. It is to be
hoped that the dispatches have lied
about him in the same way in
which the special correspondents
for several coast and Idaho papers
have lied about Senator Hepburn,
and his position on the forest re-
serves. It would be an unfortun-
ate thing if it is established that
the head of the forestry department
would recommend the withdrawal Of
one.third of the total area of State,
and more than one-half the availa-
BILE unappropriated area on reasons
50 meagrely supported that they
must be bolstered up by spe-
cious one side Investigations, in

but in defence of precipitate action.

their boxes against them, place
their mail in the general delivery

Post Office Robbed

Some time during last Monday
night robbery was committed at
the post Office.
The postmaster on opening the
place Tuesday morning found that
window in the rear of the build.
ing had been broken out and upon
further investigation discovered
that the till in which the cash is
kept during the day had been
touched" for small change which
bad been left in it, amounting to a
little over S. 90. AS to the perpe-
TRAITOR of the deed nothing has de-
veloped SO tar that we would be Just
flied in publishing furthermore than
that the robbery must have been
made by an amateur from the evil
dence lett behind his work.
The same might an attempt was
made to get into VIM. G. KimbalPs s

the north side Of the building was
cut and key in the door worked
out onto the floor inside, there be-

Murder viii Out

Some four years ago Shorty"
Davis, wealthy sheepman Of
Crook county, nysteriously disap-
peared, and it was thought at the
time that he was foully murdered
AMI his body buried in an isolated
place, as war was on between the
cattle and sheep men.
The mystery is now about to be
cleared up, 1t is alleged by a Ger
man, an old resident of Crook coun-
", that Joe Lister, a wealthy cattle
man of that section while in state
of delirium tremens told the Ger
man where Davis was buried and
said to him: Cant you see his
grinning skull on top ofthe grave"
The old man reported the matter
to United States District Attorney
Heney and the clearing up of the
mystery will be taken up by the
federal authorities.
For the past three years a stand
ing reward of $1,000 has been of
fered for the body Of Davis. On

Maay Forest Fires.

More forest fires are burning in
this part of Idaho than for a
long time past. Four years ago
there were a good many fires until
the fall rains put them out. But
there were not near as many then
as there are now, and they were
not so widely scattered. This year
the woods are afre from Roosevelt
all the way out. The damage will
be incalculable unless the rains
come on to check the ravages OF
the flames.
A fierce fire is raging across the
Clearwater, in the vicinity of Fish
er's placer mining camp. Another
is burning near Adams camp. OF
course the North Fork fires are an
old story. At Burgdort's, as re-
ported by Deputy Sheriff Hartman,
the whole forest is afire, making a
magnificent spectacle at night.
The fires are charged against
sheep men and are too numerous to
bethe work of chance.-Grangeville

Years ago, as we understand it,
man named Larson entered 100
acres of land upon which Caldwell

getting patent. His widow obtain

away. Later, she authorized an
attorney to sell the remaining 50,
which he did. Now come heirs,
who were then minors, attacking
the validity of the sale. Four-fifths

At the regular meeting of the
Business Mems Association, Thurs

propositions was presented and con-
sidered. One man with $4,000
capital proposes to establish a ma

Another proposes canning factory.
Two or three are figuring ON a

give those enterprises every possible
encouragement. The matter of
extending Park street to connect
directly with the upper dam site Of
the Deer Flat reservoir was taken
up and the secretary was instructed
to ascertain cost of clearing and
grading the road beyond the Phyllis
canal. It was suggested that a
daily buss line would be established

Hepburn and his Critics.

The attacks made upon Senator
Hepburn by the Washington cores
pondents of western papers are
largely conceived in ignorance and
brought forth in malevolence.
Some of these correspondents
wsite in the spirit of sycophancy
aaf with view of currying espec-
iaN favor with President Roosevelt
tbugh Cnief Forester Pinchot,
WI bse close official and personal
relations with the President are
universally known.
Another breed of "penny a lin
ers' are writing with a view of
giving color to the inference that
there is friction in high administra-
tive circles.
Each group of these valiant pen
Gil warriors will meet. with igno-
mlntous failure.
As good wine needs no BUSH"
Mr.. Pinchot requires the aid of no
Aatterers to cement his relations
the President, who recognizes the
fact that Mr.. Pinchot is an enthu-
siast on the subject OF the preser-
vation of the forests, and, being
human, is liable to err, and whose
errors, when ascertained, may be
corrected without causing a ripple
on the smooth surface of their
official relations, and on the other
hand, President Roosevelt is too
fair and brave a fighter to harbor a
grudge against any man who dis
agrees with him and openly under
takes to carry his point and he ad.
mires a man who boldly makes a
fight for his constituents.
In Idaho these attacks in no man
ner reflect upon or injure Senator
Hepburn, for the entire citizenship,
irrespective of party afiliation, rec
ognize the fact that in his fight
against the appropriation of third
of the States area for forest reserves
he is working for the interests o.
the entire State and its develop
ment, and that, however great e
national blessing forest reserve:
may prove to be, the State of Idaho
should not be called upon to beal
an excessive share of the burden
and that is what Senator Heyburr
is endeauoring to prevent, and il
his laudable effort he is sustained
by every fair minded resident o
the State who has studied and pos
sesses sufficient intelligence to com
prehend the situation.-North Ida
