Hepburn the Peoples Friend.

Reports from Washington state
that Senator Hepburn appeared be-
fore the Public Lands committee OF
the Senate, and presented the mer.
its of his bill to deprive the Pres
ident of the power to create forest
reserves, and reposing that power
in Congress, says the Star. The
press reports say the Senator's ad-
dress to the committee was ''hot
and impulsive one" during which
he made an attack upon the for
est reserve policy OF the Govern
ment, upon the forest service. upon
Chief Forester Pinchot and upon
the President"
1t is a pleasure to note that the
State of Idaho has at least one rep
resentative in Congress who has
the courage to stand up for the in
terests OF the people of the State,
and to protest against the spolia-
ton by executive proclamation of
the undeveloped public domain
within the borders of the State.
The people of North Idaho are
out of all patience with the policy
of the present administration, which
has taken such large percentage
of the public domain and closed it
against the enterprise and activities
of our people, and the people out
side of Idaho who would be at
tracted here if these fields for the
employment of their energies we're
not closed against them. 1t is not
at all singular or UNUSUAL that Sem
ator Heyburn's remarks were "hot
and impulsive." 1t is difficult to
calmly and dispassionately discuss
this appropriation by the Federal
Government, and if on this occa
sion the Senator even forgot him
self and lost his temper, he will be
cheerfully forgiven in Idaho, where
1t is most difficult not to become
shot and impulsive" whenever this
subject is up for discussion.-Nor-

Caldwell, Idaho, Feb. sd, 1906.
Unwittingly and without intent

communication to you under head
Had Good Time"
Capt. James G. Gipson was left
out. He was elected and installed
officer of the day in our post. He
is also delegate to our State En-.
campment by election. Comrade
Shuee is the other delegate elect.
Alternates were elected to take
their places in case of absence.
Comrade Gipson comes to us
with good record. having served
in the U. S. Navy with honor and
distinction. He was executive Of
fcer of the U. S. steamer Caron-
delet, that passed the batteries of
Columbus and Island No. 10, in,
1862, one dark night, mid the
thunder and flashing of the guns
of the enemy, that made the earth
and water tremble.
1t was General Grants plan,
acceded to by Commodore Foote.
and it was a success. We were
much surprised to see the ship an
chored at New Madrid at daylight,
but were more surprised while at
breakfast to see two steamboats,
come putting and smoking through
the dense timber to our left. The
water was high, and the engineers
had cut a canal through eight
miles of heavy timber; saving the
trees off eight or. ten feet under
water, then hitching on tug and |
pulling the great trees out of the
way.
After breakfast the Carondelet
swung around and headed for the
enemy's Fort Upton" down and
across the river. Every shot was

forward, turning now and then to
give broadside. On she went.
and captured the fort
The two steamers quickly put us
across, the result being the evac-
uation of Island No. 10, Columbus
and all of West Tennessee, Fort
Pillow and Memphis being soon
by the Navy.
This. Mr.. Editor, is a little scrap
Of history which the youth of our
town may read with interest. For
one month the 100 pound shells
from our mortar boats had been
tearing the earth forts at Island
No. 10, yet the enemy held fast
and replied shot for shot. 1t was
the old Carondelet that passed the
batteries and did more than all the
pounding for one month by the
mortar feet. OBSERVER.

A Great WRONG.

Senator Heyburn's speech in the
United States Senate last Tuesday
places squarely before that body the
forest reserve question. What SEN
ator Hepburn asks is that Congress
assume the guardianship of public
lands, and that no more forest re-
serves be created without the con-
sent of that body. AS the matter
now stands, millions of acres of the
lands OF the State of Idaho have
been and are now in process of be-
ing withdrawn from settlement,
simply upon the report and So
called investigation of a mere clerk
in the Forestry bureau at Wash
ington. In a lesser degree this is
also practiced in other western
states.
The amount of land Withdrawn
from settlement in Idaho by this
process has reached astounding fig
ures. 1t is as follows:
Forest reserves in the State al
ready created. 9,4S8, 324 acres, or
,825 square miles.
Forest reserves now ordered to
be created, 5,s5s,s56 acres, or
9, I49 square miles.
Total, I5,343,sso acres, or 49,
o74 square miles.
Total area of the State of Idaho,
81, 900 square miles.
Proportion of land in forest re-
serves, 2S.4 per cent.
And the end is not yet. Though
the proportion of the States terri
tory already barred from settle
ment is closely approaching one
third, there is no indication that
the bureau is ready to stop. The
Associated Press report of Senator
remarks is printed in
another column, and later on The
Press will print more in detail of
he speech.
The State of Idaho could receive
10 greater blow than that which
'omes from the withdrawal of its
lvailable lands for settlement. 1t
S so manifestly unjust that the
,ower to do this should be vested
n a bureau at Washington, or
ather mere clerks in a bureau,
hat eventually Congress must rec
gnize that fact.-The Idaho Press,
Wallace.

By that almost inexplainable move
ment of moisture in the soil toward
the surface, under natural law
which is called capillary attraction,
the roots of the growing plants on
the spot where the snow had drifted
were supplied from the reservoir of
water below, which had come down
into the lower strata of the soil as

Speaking of his system Mr.. Camp
bell says: There cannot be laid down
any rule by which to be guided in the
cultivation of the soil under all con-
ditions. Soil that is too wet, naturally,
must be drained, while soil that is too
dry by reason of insufficient rainfall
must have all the moisture conserved
by proper methods Of cultivation. In
the great semiarid area of our west
ern country a general rule may be
applied, and if followed diligently the
resulting storage and conservation of
the natural rainfall in the soil, to-
gether with careful preparation and
such other cultivation as shall admit

growth in the summer period, like
results and yields may be obtained
on large fields, as have been observed
on small patches of ground that hap
pened to be covered by snow drifts.
1t follows, then, that the greater
amount of water we can store in the
soil previous to planting of the crops,
as we'll as during their growth, and
the greater care we use in the culti
vation of the surface of the ground,
SO as to retain and economize the
moisture so conserved, the greater
must be the yield at harvest time.
''In connection with this fact there
is another of no less Importance, viz:
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-04-01

The physical condition of the soil.
The ground should be prepared as per-
fectly as possible to insure a prolific
growth of roots. 1t is not uncommon
that single hours extreme condition
of the SOIL as respects rapid evapora-
tion, will reduce the crop one-half.
If we can store and conserve in the
soil sufficient quantity of the natu-
raj rain waters and make them avail
able during the growing season, and
have coupled with the moisture a
sufficient growth of roots to sustain
and nourish the plants, a good crop
is sure to be realized"
In the foregoing are embodied the

of the proper quantity of air, will
produce in average years as good
crops of cereals, and of all the veget-
ables that are commonly grown, as
can be produced in the humid central
portions of the United States.
Storage and conservation of the
rainwaters, and careful observation
of the necessary physical condition
of the soil, is the basis of all this
fruitful production. Has the reader
not observed instances where heavy
snowdrift has lodged in field, be-
cause of some obstruction in the
winds course, and where the snow
was drifted the crop in the following

summer was better? The usual con-
clusion has been that the snow drift
protected the grain sown in the soil
like blanket, and the greater yield
the following season was attributed
to such protection; but this is an
error. The reason for a greater crop
on the ground SO covered was that
the snow melted gradually in the
spring time and percolated into the
soil at much greater depth, and was
stored, as reservoir, and later, when
the hot period and drouth of summer
came this stored moisture supplied
the roots of the plants and kept the
plants growing when the crop in the

subject of too large scope to be

In his manual he goes into consider
able detail to tell how the conserva-
tion of the moisture in the soil is
accomplished, telling how to treat the
soil from the beginning, etc. To put
1t briefly the practice he urges is to
plow the soil deeply, then work the
surface Immediately so as to allow no
moisture to evaporate, not even from
the surface of the rough clods as
turned up by the plow. The sooner
the surface is leveled and a fine mulch
produced the greater will be the
amount of moisture retained. He laws
