 'I could do with much less than that, MT.

 "No?"
 Well. you know, father didn't like anything of the sort. He wouldn't have any visitors if he could help it, and he used to say that a woman should be hap py in her own family circle. But then. as I used to say to mother, woman

 But how about Mir. Hosmer Angel? Id he make no attempt to see you?"
 Well, father was going off to France again in a week. and Hosmer wrote and said that itB would be Safer and better not to see each other until he had gone. We could write in the meantime, and he used to write every day. 1 took the let ters in the morning, so that there was no need for father to know"

the timber syndicates in the with

Der of which can then only be
secured by purchase, requires no
explanation. Poor men cannot
buy timber. The Idaho people
should also be made alert to the
fact that the timber syndicate
workers at Washington, known
as the National Irrigation associ-
ation, is using the western irriga-
tion projects as a subterfuge for
presenting arguments in circulars
in favor of the repeal of the
stone and timber law.
This association was exposed
by Congressman B. l.. French
before a committee at the last
session of congress. The method
is to issue a long letter showing
the results of the national irriga-
ton movement, and then the cir
cular closes with a covert argu-
ment that not only will irrigation
be benefited, but also the theft
of the public domain be prevented
by the repeal of the timber and
stone law. These things show
the powerful influences that are
at work to promote the Idaho
Withdrawals, and the condition is
one that should arouse to action
every Idaho citizen. Roosevelt
is friend to the west, and he
probably has no personal know
ledge that his lieutenants have
gone "batty' on the Idaho situa-
ton. Petitions signed by thOus-
ands should be forwarded direct

burn in his patriotic and able eff
fort to protect his state should

Assessment for the Atlas.

The Atlas Mining company,
operating in the Hump district of
Idaho, is planning to reorganize
on an assessable basis of 10 cents
a share. That would permit of
raising 100000.
The company owes $40, ,000,
loaned by James G. Berryhill of
Des Moines, Iowa, who is one Of
the largest shareholders. The
officials have sent out circulars
urging the reorganization. Geo.
T Crane, one of the large holders
of the Atlas said yesterday: "All
the Spokane stockholders have
agreed to the project, and we
have not had a definate refusal
from any source. 1t is important,

IDAHO AND RESERVES
Propose to Take in Third of the State---Senator
Hepburn in His Fight Should Have the
Support of Every Idaho Citi9en.

COCdl area Ol CllS SCdCe Vi ludllO.
Dubois makes no argument that
can be definately analysed, but
he is probably favoring the move
to make all north and central
Idaho forest reserve park, so as
to prevent the spread of Mormon
settlements in the state. The
senator is stuck on the Mormon
question and apparently has little
time to study Idaho affairs. But
eliminating all the theories and
thousands Of pamphlets that the
Pinchots are distributing, the
Idaho man best knows Idaho.
For instance, he knows that the
Snake river in southern Idaho is
reclaiming a great deal of land,
and that the headwaters of that
noble stream haven't enough tim
Der to shade a jack rabbit. The
Snake river in south Idaho gets
along without any great forest
reserve" storage. The Idaho
citizen also knows that all the
engineers in the nations employ
cannot find $4,000 acres of arid
land for reclamation on the lower
Snake. There is positively not
an acre of arid land to be re-
claimed along the Clearwater or
Salmon rivers, yet the source Of
these great streams are embraced
in one vast forest reserve. Fur
ther, with the lightest snow fall
in the mountains of Idaho that
has been recorded for years, the
Snake and Clearwater rivers are
now running at a higher stage
than ever known for this season
of the year. This fact will af-
ford ground for the development
of some new theory by Pinchot.
1t can also be stated by the Idaho
man that thousands of acres of
the forest reserve area in Idaho
are as barren of timber as is a
baseball ground. No gift of the
courtly forest ranger, no theory
of Pinchot will make timber grow
there worth looking upon. The
timber thefts by the homestead
ers are an idle dream, believed
by only the desk clerk at Wash
ington, who also believes that the
western man is still shooting up
the town. The repeal of the
script law stops the timber thefts
the thefts committed by the
great favored corporations. But
the forest reserve man and the
irrigation man and the rich tim
Der syndicates are working to-
gether and want the timber anc
stone act repealed-the act which
alone gives the poor man an op.
portunity to secure a piece o1
timber and a home in the west

Idaho Press at Wallace, Idaho,
the Tribune this morning publish
es a map of Idaho showing the
forest reserves located and the
proposed reserves, the land of
which has been withdrawn from
settlement. The map was pre-
pared by w. H. Batting, of the
firm of Hepburn & Batting, of
Wallace, Senator. Hepburn giving
his personal attention to the prep
aration of the same.
Senator Hepburn is now engag-
ed in a great fight-the greatest
that ever has been waged for
Idaho-in an endeavor to check
the insane purpose of the bureau
clerks at Washington in wildly
appropriating the resources of
the commonwealth to carry out
some theory that no person ac-
quainted with the conditions in
the west can ever understand.
The map is presented by Senator
Hepburn to enable the Idaho cit
izen to clearly understand the
vicious menace that Pinchot and
the desk workers, who have
never been west of the Missis-
sippi and who are barren of suf-
ficient energy to ever bring them
here, are imposing on the state.
The Idaho Press thus summarizes
the situation:
Until it is shown in black and
white to the eye few people have
been able to realize from simply
reading on the subject what a
vast amount Of the states terri
tory is taken from the settler.
The created reserves and with
drawals for that purpose embrace
about one-quarter the entire area
of Idaho, and should they become
permanent they must greatly re-
tard the growth and development
of the state. In some counties it
will be observed, practically all
the available land for settlement
is included in the forestry com
missions withdrawals. "
1t is impossible that this reserve
movement has a single supporter
in the state aside from Senator
Dubois, who is talking about If
rigating lands in south Idaho
from the streams in the north,
holding the view that water will
run up hill, and aside from the
forest reserve employees who are
ambitious, of course, to eXtenC
their jurisdiction to embrace the
entire nation if possible. Thus
the disgusting feature of the case
is that these forest reserves are
being crowded upon the state
without single important voice
within the state asking for them
The subtitle arguments for the
forest reserves are many. One
Pinchot will urge that the reser
yes will make the reclamation o-
arid lands possible, and other
wise there would be no arid lands
reclaimed. Another Pinchot will
explain that the object is to pro
tect the timber from theft. Th'
first argument is a farce and th'
second is an admission that th'
government is so weak that thu
only method of protection agains
thieves is to isolate the publi'
domain and make impossible th'
development of one-third of th'

A TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.
How a Remarkable Movement Was
Started in Ceylon-Its
Growth.

A correspondent, who has just re-
turned from Ceylon, writes to the
Christian World about a very remark
able temperance movement in that is
land. 1t had a singular beginning A
wealthy Sinhalese and some of his
friends were having a jovial time in
q tavern over their arrack. A dispute
arose with the tavern keeper and the
whole company determined never to
touch arrack again. They founded q
society which practically all the men
OF their village joined. The news of
This movement was published in the
vernacular press, with the result that
the idea was taken up rapidly In all
the towns and most of the villages of
South Ceylon. Largely attended meet
lngs have been held, and, after
speeches denouncing the liquor traf-
fc. pledges are signed. Well-organized
professions go through the villages
singing temperance songs, which rouse
great enthusiasm. The movement is
distinctly a Buddhist movement, and
the appeal is made to the doctrines of
Buddha, though Christian missionaries
are sometimes asked to speak. Those
who break their pledges are vigorously
dealt with. In Ceylon the liquor traf-
hc rs government monopoly, and
though Buddhists, the missionary So
cieties and planters associations have
many times petitioned against the Ii
quor trade being encouraged, it has
extended at an appalling rate during
recent years. This new movement has
