The central Idaho gold belt is fast
adapting itself to the new conditions,
steady, healthy, growth, on sound legit-
innate basis, made possible by the burst
ing of the numerous wildcat bubbles and
boom methods consequent to that form
of mining. Up to the last year the Elk
City district has perhaps been more
peculiarly and persistently damned by
this form of mania than her sisters,
but since the claim owners have been
brought to realize that they must pro-
duce results before capital would recog-
nize their claim, the results were
promptly produced, and are being pro-
duced almost daily, and as a natural
sequence capital is "taking notice" and
if not frightened by exorbitant demands
will no doubt continue to come in freely.
There is possibly just one reason why
Elk City district. should not enjoy the
. fullest possible measure of prosperity
this coming season, and that is the lack
of public spirit so painfully manifest
here in the absence of a live organiza-
ton, which is an absolute necessity in
the upbuilding of any community that
desires to occupy a position of COM
handing influence among its neighbors.
A large measure of this influence is
already within our grasp, thanks to the
wide publicity given our matchless re-
sources by the MINING News, but intel
ligent organization and hustle is needed
TO hold it, and although affiuent as it is
known to be, the MINING NEWS is not
going to be able to do this single handed.

WITHDRAWEL OF PUBLIC LANDS

The withdrawal of 700, 900 acres of
timber land in the Lewiston country
from all forms of entry or utility, ex-
cept mineral, will be a severe loss to
the country unless the reservation is
merely transient, pending the operation
of the recently passed law repeating
script entries, or otherwise for the pur.
pose of preserving this domain, for the
people. 1t is hoped some such object is
in view, but the department does not
explain its motive and so the proposed
disposition of this territory remains in
obscurity and doubt. Considering,
however, that the government seldom
restores to the public lands once with
drawn from use, the outlook is not en-
couraging unless Idaho moves for the
protection of its resources as Oregon
has done. The federal authorities have
already taken from Idaho territory
covered with rich timber equal in ex-
tent to four or five eastern states, and
before this state is dismembered and
stripped of its natural assets upon which
its citizens must depend for occupation
and livelihood, strong and united effort
ought to be made for self-preservation.
There are within this closed area
numerous varieties of merchant
able timber interspersed with rich
meadows and valley lands, capable of
supporting many homes and developing
a lumber industry scarcely second to
grain and cattle growing in magnitude
and productivity. To permanently close
up this region, in addition to the empire
already taken from Idaho, would not
only be state loss but a public calam-
ity. The fiction by which the depart
hent excuses this wholesale rapine, that
the right to use timber, build homes,

Service, will be received by James B.
Service, Washington, D. c., up to and
the purchase from unsurveyed lands in
Block 2, District 6, Division 8. in the
Bitter Root Forest Reserve, Idaho, of
500, 900 feet B. M. of dead and matured
green timber sound enough and suitable
for lumber of any grade. No bids of
less than 81. 90 per M feet B. M. will be
considered, and a deposit of S967.0
must accompany each bid. Payment
for the timber purchased must be made
to the Special Fiscal Agent in full within
80 days from notice of award thereof,
or may, if the bidder so elect at time of
making bid, be made in three equal in
stallments in 30, 60 and 80 days, respec-
lively, from such date. The cutting
and removal will be done in strict COM
pliance with the rules and regulations
governing forest reserves and under the
direction of the Supervisor on charge of
the reserve, who will fully explain the
requirements in the case upon applica-
ton. A All stumps must be cut as low as
practicable, in no case to exceed Is in
ches high; the shaft of every tree must
be used to a diameter of inches, and
the careful collection and piling, ready

develop mines and pursue ordinary ave.
cations within the reservation remains
practically undisturbed by the congress
sional delegations whose states are thus
being arbitrarily restricted and penal
lied. No road can be made through a
forest reserve, no utilities established,
no title secured except a mineral patent,
no settlement formed, no schools open
ed, or any other thing done necessary
even to the successful prosecution
of mining work. Whatever is done
must be by permission of deputies or
rangers, who may be irresponsible and
make life intolerable even to a hermit.
However encouraging the forest regula-
lions may seem in theory, in practice
they are virtually prohibitive of any
form of activity or enterprise. The re-
serves are, in effect, forbidden ground.
No objection is now, or ever has been
made to the preservation of forests on
the head waters and main watersheds
of streams as contemplated when the
law was enacted. There is no sadder
sight than a country stripped of its for
est growth. The old world is now doing
much to restore the lost charm and util-
ity of the forest. So it should be here.
There are several ways to work toward
a change for the better. One is to en-
courage forestry in the ordinary way by
teaching and persuading the people TO
look after this great interest. Another
is to proceed by legislation whereby the
fools in the woods armed with reckless
ness, deviltry and fire may be restrain
ed and made to know better We should
proceed to secure any benefits that may
be found in wholesome legislation to
prevent depradations and waste, to pre-
tect. the young growth and provide new
growth, while at the same time leaving
the mature growth for the uses and
necessities of civilization and progress.
Idaho has suffered and lost too much
already by the reactionary policy of the
federal government in siezing its terri
tory and foreclosing upon its resources
when a more enlightened and construc-
tive policy would fit better all around;
and whatever can be done to prevent
further similar spoliations ought to be
done by those who are commissioned
and paid to guard the states welfare in
its federal relations. Lewiston Tribune.

Five Francs Fer Mourner.

London Telegrapn.
 At Etampes. near Versailles. strange scenes were witnessed at a funeral yesterday. A rich bachelor of the To- cality recently died, leaving large fortune to the parish, and disinherit- ing his relatives. In his will there were inserted instructions to the effect that each person attending his funeral should receive 5f. This was bruited abroad. and as the funeral was on the point of starting. yesterdays a crowd of the most indigent creatures of the whole district appeared in sight. It was arranged by the mayor and the municipal councillors that all these wretched people should receive some money. and as many of them as could be accommodated in cabs and vans should attend the funeral. The more able-b bodied mendicants, not quite satisfied with the decision, boldly took possession not only of the cabs and vans. but also of six landaus in- tended for the mayor, the town coun- gars were threatened and then inn plored to leave the landaus. but they only laughed at the mayor and his friends who decided not to attend the funeral This moved of, followed only by the mendicants, who fairly enjoyed themselves in the vehicles which they had carried by assault The mayor and the councillors are now debating among the indigent advisability of dis tributlng the 5f pieces bequeathed by the rich bachelor only to inhabitants of Etampes.

Is Memnhia Tiredf

A special to The Birmingham News from Memphis says:
 The latest sensation in baseball in Memphis Is that the Memphis franchise in the Southern League Is reported for sale. It is understood that President Caruthers Ewing and General Carnes, together with other directors and stockholders, are ready to quit, and take to the rear end as far as the game Is concerned in this city.
 The attendance has been small this year, notwithstanding that two sue cessful pcnnants were won, and the team was playing winning ball during the season occupying third position In the race at present. The fact has been demonstrated that baseball people can not afford to fight newspapers. A local paper and the baseball association fell out over a trivial matter, which was brought about by the refusal of the baseball men to issue passes in suffi- cient number to the paper. To make matters worse the association refused to let a telephone be placed in the park by the journal in question. The result was that instead of devoting a page for sporting news, about twenty or thirty lines has been the maximum allowed for professional baseball. The attend ance dwindled down to a mere noth- ing, and money has oeen lost by Messrs. Ewing and Carnes. The paper has been fair and just with the baseball people, but merely published the box with a hundred or more words intro duction. It appears as If the baseball association has lost out in the fight against newspapers.

Dale Gears bunch of Travellers came out of the West and produced more diff ferent kinds of thrills at Athletic Park yesterday afternoon than have run up and down the spines of Montgomery fans since the game of baseball was in- vented.
 Throughout fourteen innings these thrills had outward expression in mer- ciless moaus and merry mirth And when the shadows of twilight were falling over the ball park, and Barry Holt's adjacent cotton fields. an insig- nificant youngster-the score card said his name was Johnson-bred in the sandy bottoms of Jeff.

From memory's feeting pages see a face tonight A wee small boy in ragged jeans And scarce three feet in height. A baseball park. with fences high; A cheering mob inside; Two teams arrayed in bitter fight And one-the small boys pride. He watched the game with batet
 breath,
 He cheered for every play; His eyes were glued to each mans
 form,
 For he was there to stay. He saw the game and cheered the men And thought 1t was immense; He looked at every lightning move Through the knot hole in the fence He longed to get a closer view, And thought of future days When he would have the cash to spare And watch those glittering plays. Did he enjoy the game--well, yes, His interest was intense: He was the hottest baseball fan That peeked in through the fence. But time has changed the picture, And changed his ways for aye; But tell me, friendly reader, Was that boy you-or I?
