When the government gets
through with its reserve exploits,
according to present Withdrawals
for reserves, there will not be left
open to settlement 10 townships
out OF the 100 townships in that
part of Kootenai county north OF
the Pend d'Oreille River. All OF
North Kootenai except a little
fringe along the Kootenai and
Pend d'Oreillc will be swallowed
up by the reserves.
1t is useless to protest. Senator
Hepburn has done all an able
United States Senator could do to
prevent it. Senator Dubois has
done all he could do to bring about
this calamity
The forest reserve policy is I'M
American. 1t is an Eastern fad.
It is cruel blow to the hopes and
ambitions OF a people living in a
territory as large as one Of the
eastern states.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 23.-It is
learned that an important clew to
the identity of Harry Orchards al
legged coconspirators in the Frank
Steunenberg assassination has been
secured 10y Caldwell officers in the
form of a letter written by Orchard
from Caldwell during November
and returned to him last week from
the dead letter Office. The name
of the man to whom the letter is
addressed is suppressed by the Of
fcers The letter was sent to a
town in Colorado, but after remain
ing unclaimed for certain period,
was sent to the dead letter office
in Washington, and from there re-
turned to the writer. The contents
OF the letter have not been made
public. 1t is known to contain,
however, Orchards advice to Col
orado friend to come at once to
1 Caldwell.
81 have a bunch OF money" reads
the letter, 'and there is lots Of
money in this job, with no chance
of being caught"
1t is believed that while the man
to whom the letter was addressed
did not receive it, still he received
word from Orchard through an
other source, perhaps through an
other letter, and came to Caldwell
7 in response to the latter's advice
The name OF the man is therefore
being kept secret until he can be
located.

Graduated with High Honors.

Miss May Hart, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hart, was grad
uated last Thursday from the High
School in Spokane with high hon
ors. The exercises were held in
the Spokane Theater. Miss Hart
was the first on the program, be-
ing one OF the few Of the class selec-
ted to deliver an Grafton. She ac-
quilted herself with great credit.
She was self possessed and spoke
in a clear, well-moIulated tone OF
voice that could be heard in any
part Of the great building.
The Spokesman-Review had the
following comment on her Grafton
"Miss May Hart had a biograph-

The following relative to local
event has been handed us for pub
LEGATION:
For a week past local sports have
been looking forward to the Forbes
Lundy boxing contest which is
scheduled to be pulled of tonight.
Kid Forbes is we'll known in the
city and is one OF the lieeliest look
ing little chaps in the northwest.
He has many friends here who
have long wanted to see him in
action against some good man OF
his weight. Ii he succeeds in stop
ping Lundy in the 10 rounds
agreed, he will very likely get q
match with little Freddie Weeks
the Spokane boxer. Both Forbes
and Weeks are built much after
the same style and a contest be-
tween the two would be well patron
lied. Forbes has already challeng
ed both Scaler and Rogers.

see America First"

j. II. Richards OF Boise will act
as personal representative of Gov
ernor Gooding at the "See America
First" convention at Salt Lake on
January %. w. E. Borah was
compelled to decline the appoint
mont on account OF pressure Of
court business in Cassia county
where he has a number Of import
ant cases pending, one of which is
scheduled for trial on the 23d.
Idaho will have one of the strongest
possible delegations. The other
members from the Gem state are
e. NJ. Heigho OF the PIN" road at
Weiser, and Col. Hamer OF st An
thony.
The central Idea animating the
forthcoming conference will be the
fact that scenery and climate are
valuable assets capable Of convers-
ion into dollars and cents.
From the financial side Of this
question the figures advanced are
almost astounding in their magni-
tude. 1t is now largely a matter
of common knowledge that, accord
ing to readable statistics, Americ-
ans annually spend in Europe
$20O,OOO,O0O. Nor does this figure
include at least an additional 200,-
100000 spent for art treasures.
But placing the amount diverted
from home circulation at only
S19O,O00,O00, it has been shown
that if this vast sum could be re-
tanned here say for a period Of lC
years it would pay the national
debt more than twice over; it would
build a perfect y equipped sea leye
canal at Panama and leave 81 800,
100000 in the treasury. 1t woulc
build a great roadwa' from New
York to San Francisco and another
from Portland, Oregon to st. Au
gustine, Florida and yet anothe.
from the Great Lakes to the Gull
of Mexico
Another evidence Of the value o
scenery from the economic stand
point is given That at least $50,
100000 has beea left in Vernon
during the past 10 years by sight

Temporary Suspension of Hostilities

BY a sort OF enforced truce, the tele
phone situation in Rock Island remains
undisturbed for 10 days, at least, pend
ing the disposition of the Central
Union company's application for an in
junction. in view of the city's ultimat
um with the penalty of the invoking
of police powers.
The controversy. with all its vari
GUS phases, may therefore be consid
cred as having been transferred from
the control of the city TO the courts
regardless of the disposition of the
preliminary move. An application for
an injunction is the beginning of a
suit. 1t happens in this instance that
il is not 10 be a friendly one. but a
fight to a finish Realizing this fact
the city has made provision for ad
ditional counsel with a purpose TO see
ing its side through TO the end.
The injunction. as has been said
heretofore. is not n popular proceed
ing. and it is TO be regretted that the
Central Union company has seen fit to
resort to it. as well as that no honor
able compromise could not have been
for immediate adjustment of
the situation.
The carrying of the contentious into
court. means in all probability long
and uncertain legal warfare.
In the meantime. now that it has
gone so far, the best that can be done
is to back up the city, and hope for
victory in the end

Dazzling Dividends,

The magnificence of Standard Oil
dividends makes the average man gasp
In eight years that company has paid
to its shareholders 1892. 900 900, or
more than three times the amount of
the par value of its capital. 1t is the
popular belief. which is also the prob
able fact, that the great Rockefeller
group acquired its ownership of the
stock at relatively small figures. These
men organized the company, nursed
it in infancy. and now ii has become
the giantess that plays mother to a
big brood of subordinate oil trusts
around the world. The recent riots in
southern Russia stilled the petroleum
industry there and brought a profit
able grist to Standard Oil. 1t was the
only concern on earth that could sup
ply all the petroleum required.
An increased demand, accompanied
by the inevitable higher price during
the last couple of years. has steadily
enriched this great American trust.
