HEPBURN HAS FLUNKED

Senator Hepburn has made a state
ment, appearing in the dispatches
frcm Washington To the Statesman
published Tuesday morning, ia
which he states he does not propose
To devote his time TO fighting the
forest reserve policy Of the govern
ment. Indeed, while be states be adj
hers TO his attitude with respect Ia
the reserves, the tenor OF the state
ment is to the effect that he will not
make serious contest ON the subject al
the coming session. The senator says
II shall reserve my effsrts to change
the present policy until such time ia
the future as shall appear more OPP.

RICH SHOSHONE STRIKE

Lat Saturday the Shoshone Mining
company made strike that places
the stock of that company at much
higher figure than was expected by
local holders and others who have Wis
tied the property. The mine is loca-
ted about a half mile from Wallace
on Nine Mile where the properties
have previously made but little show
lnig. The quartz which was encount-
cred Saturday is so generously streak
led with galena which forms the filling
of the vein, that it may be classed as
good milling ore, and large quaint
~ is of high enough grade to permit
OF hand sorting and shipping with
good profit. One of the features of
the ore is that it has the appearance
of copper in the form of chalcopyrite,
along with the galena.
The present face of the drift is at
: depth of about 200 feet vertically,
From the surface and the tunnel is

throughout. Mr.. McGovern has pin
neu his faith to the property for a
Pohs time and now has the satisfaction
seeing the silver lining. Many of
Coeur d Alene's most prominent peo-
PIE own blocks of stock and are feel
ng rather elated over the strike.

WANTS
MORE POWER
To Dismiss Men From Army and
Navy

Washington, Dec. 6.-The preai.
dent today sent a special message to
congress urging giving the executive
authority Of his own initiative and
own responsibility 20 dismiss any
officer whom he thinks unworthy to
remain In the service. The Law At
present provides that in the time Of
peace no officer shall be dismissed
except In puEuAnce Of n oourtmaFtiAl
or In mitigation thereof. This pro
Sision the president wants repealed.
illustrating the necessity for the
legislation desired, the president cites
the case Of a naval officer whose name
IL not given but who was accused Of
indecent and disgusting behavior. I"
He was convicted but the court TO
his surprise, the president says, did
not sentence him 20 dismissal.
The president also asks for the re.
peal OF article 81 for the government
OF the navy, which in time Of war
practically subjects his right Of dis.
missal 10 review by couFtmartial,
to be assembled within six monhs.
IL the accused officer demands this
court.

HEPBURN BILL
FOR JUST RATES
Would Force Railways to Be
Fair

Washington, Dec. 6. - Senator
Hepburn of Idaho today introduced a
bill in the senate amendatory Of the
interstate commerce act, which now
permit transportation companies to
charge more for short inland haul
than for long distance water term
inal haul. The object Of Senator
Heyburn's bill is to afford relief to
the cities of the northwest against
which the railroad companies have
been discriminating, such as Spokane,
Butte, Boise and other nonrailroad
terminal inland cities.
Under the existing law as inter-
preted by the courts, interstate COM
merce carrying roads charge a greater
freight rate from Chicago to Butte,
Spokane and other inland cities than
they do to Seattle. Nearly all of the
railway companies of the northwest
are today charging to inland points
the true rate from points in the east
to the Pacific coast, plus the local
rate from the Pacific coast back to
those places. 1t is done under the
pretense of the necessities arising
rom the water competition to coast
points, compelling the railroads to
give those points cheaper rates than
they would otherwise be able to do.
There is no real substance in this
point, and Senator Heyburn's bill
provides:
WOULD EQUALIZE CHARGES.
"That it shall be unlawful for any
common carrier subject to the pro
visions of this act to charge or receive
any greater compensation for the
transportation of passengers or of like
kinds of property for a shorter than
for longer distance over the same
line in the same direction, the short
er being included within the longer
distance; bit this shall not be con-
strued as authorizing any common
The Coeur d'Alene press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1906-1907, 1906-12-06

carrier within the terms of this act to
charge or receive as great a compensa-
ton for shorter than longer dis
tance."
This measure is of vast Importance
to all interior business points in the
United States, particularly to Spo-
kane and other northwestern nonterm-
inal railroad cities.
The result of the present system ia
centrifugal in its action, throwing
the business from the center to the
rim Of the country under conditions
unjust to the producing centers Of the
United States, which deprive them of
the natural advantages Of their Ioca-
ton relative to the products of the
country surrounding them, and COM
pels them in many instances to ship
the raw products which they produce
to the manufacturers, and ship the
manufactured products back at the
through rate to the coast plus the To-
cal rate back from the coast to such
point, and also depriyes the cenral
portions of the country from the bene-
fit Of proximity to the field of pro
duction.
Senator Hepburn will press his bill
vigorously before congress this winter
and hopes to secure the enactment in
to law.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin. pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
bolic beverages, or by too close confine-
ment 70 home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, in fact I'm every weary,
thin and thin booded person, do their
work with great difficulty. AS result
long. The demand for nutritive aid Is
ahead OF the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to 1T certain
others. 1t Is necessary to prepare the
stomach for the work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known to the Indians OF this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge OF
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly in professional favor for the cure
Of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and inyigorating
effect upon the stomach. liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodroot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherrybark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigora tor, when combined in Just the
right proportions, as in DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition = and thin
blood, the body acquires yigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect of this sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value Of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
ised pure glycerine as "a solvent ana

LUMBER COMMUNITY is

Montgomery, July 80 = (Special.)-A
Journal special from Florala says:
There is much indignation here over the
stories published by the Pensacola pa
pers concerning the alleged brutal treat
ment of laborers brought here from the
north to work for the Jackson Lumber
company. The Florala News of the past
week denounces the story as false, and
says that the Pensacola papers doubtless
thought they were springing a sensation
this week when they printed so many
columns about desperadoes, manbeaters
and six-shooters, bloodhounds and star
walton at the Alabama lumber camps
around Florala and Locl<hart The Ger
mans or whatever nationality they were,
who were interviewed by the Industrious
reporters were under contract with the
Jackson Lumber company and were fur
nished them by labor agencies In the
north. The wages received were from 81
a day and board to 81 so per day And we
don't believe they had any kick coming
about the kind of provisions either, or
does anyone else around here. In fact, the
whole matter came as a surprise to peo-
pie in this section. The company Keeps
