IRRIGATION AND
/. FOREST RESERVES
Subjects of Presidents Address to
irrigation Congress

Boise, Idaho, Sept. 4.-The fol-
lowing is in part letter Of President
Roosevelt, in which he gives the pol
icy of the administration on forest
reserves and irrigation, read to
the National Irrigation congress.
ITO the officers and members Of
the Irrigation Congress, Boise Idaho:
Operations under the reclamation
act which 1 signed on June II, 1902,
have been carried on energetically
during the four years since that date.
The reclamation service consisting Of
over 400 skilled engineers and ex-
perts in various lines, has been or
ganized, and it is now handling the
work with rapidity and effectiveness.
Construction is already we'll advanc-
ed on % great enterprises In the arid
states and territories. Over LOCO,
900 acres of land have been laid out
for irrigation, and OF this 200, 900
acres are now under ditch, 500 miles
Of canals and bitches and 10000 feet
Of tunnel have been completed, and
10, 900, 900 cubic yards Of earth and
80, 900, 900 cubic yards of rock have
been moved. Detailed topographic
surveys have been extended over TO-
900 square miles Of country within
which the reclamation work is locat-
ed and 20, 900 miles OF level lines
have been run. Three hundred
buildings, including offices and sleep
ing quarters for workmen, have
been erected by the reclamation SER
vice, and about an equal number by
the contractors. Over 10000 men
and about 5000 horses are 1T present
employed
1.-THE passing danger just nov
springs from the desire pf nearly
every man to get and hold as much
land as he can, whether he can han
die it proftably or not, and whether
or not it is for the interest Of th'
community that he should have it
The prosperity Of the present irrigat
ed areas came from the subdivision
of the land and the consequent inten
sive cultivation. With an adequate
supply Of water, a farm Of five acre
in some parts of the arid west, or o
40 acres elsewhere, is as large as ma.

MOLSTEAD=MILLER CASE

This morning the preliminary ex-
animation of A. R. Miller, who was
arrested on charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, on a complaint enter
ed by Adolph Molstead, was continu-
ed from yesterday, with Miller on
the stand. His testimony was to the
effect that he had met Molstead at
the point where the road had been
blocked and that they disputed each
others ability as men. Molstead pre-
tended that he was going to walk past
Miller, but instead of doing SO he
jumped on him when his back was
turned and bore him to he ground.
A tussel ensued in which Molstead,
being the heavier man, came out on
the top. Molstead released Miller
and the men parted, Molstead back
ing away and saying he had enough.
But it seems that he did not, for he
advanced on Miller and kicked him
in the stomach, and then picked up a
club. Miller picked up several rocks
and the men advanced again. Mil
Ter then picked up the iron bar which
had been used in a spool Of barb wire
and knocked the stick from Mol
stead's hand. Molstead then clinch.
ed him and threw him to the ground
and Miller struck him twice ON the
head with the bar.
Molstead held Miller on the gouDj
and Jack Davis, who had watched tn,
flgh, took the bar from MilIer's hand
This practically ended the contest
The testimony of both Davis anc
Miller were identical, and Davis ex
planted what trouble the men had be
fore the fight He stated that Mile
had made a contract with Molsteac
which gave him the right to eros
Molstcad's land with his timber
Molstead then refused to live up t
the contract, and filed the road will
logs.
From the testimony, it appear
that both men were looking for trou
BILE. The case is now ready for argu
ment and will be finished as Ear a

morrow poon

mako every resource Of the forest re-
serves contribute in the highest de-
gree to the permanent prosperity OF
the people who depend upon them.
If ever the time should come when
the western forests are destroyed, there
will disappear with them the prosper
ity Of the stockman, the miner, the
lumberman and the railroad, and,
most important of all, the small
ranchman who cultivates his own
land. l know that you are with me
in the intention to preserve the tim
Der, the water and the grass by using
fully, but wisely and conservatively.
We propose to do this through the
freest and most cordial cooperation
between the government and every
man who Is In sympathy with this
policy, the wisdom of which no man
who knows the facts can for a NOM
emit doubt.
1.-THE result Of first importance to
you as irrigators Is this: The forest
service has proved that forest fires
can be curtailed only by controlling
them. Only one-tenth Of one per
cent of the area Of forest reserves
were burned over in 1905. This
achievement was due both TO the for
est service and to the effective resist
ance of settlers and others In and
near the reserves. Everything the
government has ever spent upon ia
forest work IL small price to pay
for the knowledge that the streams
which make your prosperity can be
and are being freed from the ever
present threat Of forest fires.
1.-THE sales of forest reserve timber
to settlers, miners, lumbermen and
other users are increasing very rapid
~, and in that way also the reserves
are successfully meeting q CROWNS
need.
Lands in the forest reserves tina
are more valuable for agriculture
than for forest reserves are being
opened TO settlement and entry q
fast as their agricultural chaTacte
can be ascertained. There Is, there
fore, no longer excuse for saying tina
the reserves retard the legitimate set
Element and development Of the coun
try. On the contrary they prOmOt
and sustain that development, an
they will do so in no way more pow
erfully than through thier direct con
tributions to the schools and roads
Ten per cent Of all the money receive
from the forest reserves goes to th
state for the use Of the counties /
which the reserves lie to be used fo
schools and roads. The amount {
this contribution Is nearly $40, 90
for the first year. 1t will grow stead
lily larger and will form = certain an
permanent source Of income, whic
would not have been the case Wit
the taxes whose place IL takes.

WHITTIER IS MRRoosEvELT DRIFTINcp

One Of the strongest indictments brought agains
Mr. Byran and the democratic party by the President
and other republican mouthpeces that they attempt
to arouse class prejudice. Of the greatest foes OF
orderly republic and to bring high tribunals Of
Justice into disrepute Because Mr. Bryan and his
followers have ventured to crcise decisions of our
high courts, it is charged that they are anarchistc,
seeking to overthrow of the strong pillars of our
government.
But, let us see if Mr.. Roosevelt himself is not
venturng this same dangerous ground where it is
charged that democracy has drfted In his suggestion
for an inheritance tax whereby the wealthy and pros
porous be made to bear their just share Of the bur
den of taxation and the fortunes of the rich can be
trimmed down Bit is not Mr.. Roosevelt drifting up
on the forbidden groundlWill he not cause poor
folks to harbour the heretcal and wicked notion that
they not getting theirs and that the rich are
getting more than they are entitled to- and will not
this foment discomfort, engendering the Jealousy
and strife Of classes which is so disastrous to repub
lie? 1t is but step from an inheritance tax to the in
come tax advocated by democracy and is not Mr.
Roosevelt in danger Of dropping into this awful Mael
strom,
Again Mr.. Roosevelt has openly expressed the
strongest criticism Judge Humphrey in his decision
in the packer case, calling the whole proceeding
farce" and miscarriage Of JUSTICE Think of it, T
a judge of the United States district court subjected
to such indignty and from co ordinate branch
of the government Is Mr. Roosevelt joining the ranks
of the Jewelers. who have no respect for the high and
mighty dignitaries who wear the ermine and who
deal out justice injustice? Has he allied
himself with those unholy awess spirits who dispute
the doctrine tSat a court can do no wrong?
But let us not be alarmed Mr. Roosevelt may
be drifting away from the moorings of the republican
party, but he, with thousands of other thoughtful
people, is headed in the direction toward which the
pendulum is swinging, toward genuine democracy,
and signs not lacking that there will be a swing
in 1908 that will astonish the minons and benef-
Charles of the regime Of special privilege.
