is true of Idaho is true of Cali |
fornia, and it would be true to
a greater degree of the new state
should New Mexico and Arizona
be jointly admitted. In opposing
this bill, am actuated only by
a sense of duty that feel we
owe to Idaho and the ether west

The statement sent out from
Washington short time ago and
publish in a leading newspaper
in Idaho to the effect that Senator
Hepburn, in an argument before
the senate committee on Public
Lands, on the question of forest
reserves, arraigned President
Roosevelt and in severe language
condemned his forest reserve
policy, upon investigation, is
found to be absolutely without
foundation; and is a further evil
dence of a conspiracy among GER
tain newspapers to discredit the
work of Senator Hepburn through
reports sent out by their Wash
ington correspondent; and in
this effort to misrepresent the
senator very little regard for
truth has at times been shown.
Senator Hepburn introduced a
bill providing that forest re-
serves be created by act of con-
gress instead of by executive
order, and in this effort on his
part to protect the interests of
Idaho, as he sees them, no dis
respect is either shown or in
tended for President Roosevelt.
In fact the proposed measure
only intends to take from the
head of a bureau in the govern
meht service the power to turn a
portion of Idaho into a forest re-
serve and place that power in
| the hands of the peopleskrepre-
sentatives in congress where it
I justly belongs, and who being
better acquainted with conditions
in the respective states are better
able to determine the needs and
desire of the state. If the SEN
ators and representatives are tc
have nothing to say with refer
ence to the national forestry
policy, great injustice is liable to
be done by placing in forest re.
serves vast tracts Of land adapted
: to home making.
The fact that Senator Heyburr
has taken course in the senatt
,, based upon his convictions with
out regard to whether or not hi
views coincide with the plans O.

Asks for Justice.


In our free republic. where all
men are equal, we claim a miner
does not enjoy equal rights with
other men, other citizens of
Uncle Sans broad domain.
We will notice first the farmers
privileges. He is allowed to file
upon, 100 acres as homestead at
a cost of only SIT as filing money.
He is king of his soil. If he
wishes he can farm extensively
or only a few sparse acres. He
without paying rental yearly
can keep a store and postofice,
feed, barn, an express Office, be
a justice of the peace, or a notary
public; may without impunity
run for office or be a Bitter Root
forest reserve officer. If the
land he wishes to settle upon the
unsurveyed land he can by send
ing in to the secretary of the in
terror the requisite number
of bona fide signers request
to Uncle Sam to survey the land
so that he can file upon the said
land, Uncle Sam at once will send
a surveyor and plot, number and
make the field all clear for him
without costing the would be
owner one cent. If he wants to
commute (this land maybe very
valuable land) at the end of ID
months he can buy it inside of
railroad limits for So. so per acre.
After his patent comes it only
costs him 81 to put it upon record.
Uncle Sam is quite proud of his
reserve gold in his vaults at his
capitol. Let us briefly review
his gracious treatment of his
miners, legitimate sons that have
by blood and brawn., dug ans
delVed out this precious ane
vaunted gold and silver reserve
The miner is or has to be away

East Against; the West in State
hood Fight.

hood Fight.
(From Northwest Press Association.
A bill has been introduced in
the house of representatives pro-
viding an appropriation for con-
structing a special train for the
president of the United States,
and providing that the expense
of his travel over the different
railroads be paid out of the treas
'ury of the United States. This
is meritorious measure and will
in all probability be enacted into
law. The president has been
severely and probably justly
criticised for accepting favors
from railroads while seeking to
correct what he. designed in his
message as "abuse" practiced by
railroads. The president has
taken trips all over the country
on the. very finest special trains
furnished by the railroads free,
and at the same time urging laws
inimical to the railroads in gen.
eral. On account of the presi-
dents trips on some of the war
vessels, severe criticism has also
been made on this course, and
bill has been introduced instruct
ing the secretary of the navy to
provide a warship for the dis
posal OF the president.
The great question now before
congress is that of statehood for
the territories of the United
States. The house bill provides
that Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory, and New Mexico and Ari-
IONA be admitted as two states.
There is practically no objection
to the admission of Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma as one state
but there is serious objection to
ioint statehood for the other two
territories. The bill is looked
upon as a measure to keep down
the representation of the west
in the senate, and its chief advo-
Gates are from the eastern states
and more especially from New
England. The real fight will
come in the senate. Westerners
are determined that the great
territories in the southwest shall
be given single statehood. The
wonderful natural resources Of
these territories justly entitle
them to admission severally
The east has already lost contro
of the house, and it. is making {
last effort to retain its hold upor
the country by keeping down thu
representation in the senate from
the west. Representative Frencl
made valiant fight against tn,
bill in the house. In a conver
sation with your correspondent
he gave the following as his rea
sons in part for opposing the bill
