Congressman Burton l.. French
at Twin Falls.

a strong address on the occasion
OF the annual fair of the Twin
Falls country at the city of Twin
Falls. He touched upon many
questions of much interest to the
irrigated districts of Idaho, such
as dry farming, etc., and showed
his familiarity with theirimport-
ance to the state. The subjects
of his address, however, that
elected the most enthusiasm were
his references to the relation be-
tween the forest reserves of Ida
no and the public schools, and
the question of Chinese and Jap
anese immigration into the Unit
ed States. He advanced the pro-
position that the United States
should pay the state of Idaho
ten dollars per acre for the lands
embraced within forest reserves
belonging to the public school
system OF the state. Theinteres
on this amount, he declared,
would net an amount sufficient
to literally maintain the public
schools OF the whole state. He
said that he intended to bring
this matter before congress this
winter This is a new question
in Idaho, and its disposition will
be watched with much interest.
AS to his remarks on the Japan
csc question, the recent disturb
ances at Vancouver lend particu-
lar interest at this time. Mr..
French spoke very forcibly upon
this subject, and as he is men,
Der Of the Committee on Immi-
grafton and Naturalization OF
the House OF Representatives,
before which this question is liable
to come, his remarks have all the
more weight.
The following areextracts from
his speech:
He began as follows:
81 remember a few years ago
OF being one of several members
of a congressional party who
were guests Of Hon. w. H. Scott,
the able editor Of the Oregonian.
1t was in Washington and Mr..
Scott was urging federal aid for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
an exposition that did 50 much
to advertise the splendid posi-
bilities of the Northwest. At the
close Of the dinner Mr.. Scott was
pressed to tell some of the remi-
niscences of early days. AS you
know, he came to the Northwest
more than fifty years ago. He
was a youth then, almost a man.
He came by the way of the old
emigrant wagon and probably
passed by within a few miles of
where this AUDIENCES assembled.
He told of the sacrifices and trials
of the pioneer. He told of the
heart burnings rnd the struggles.
In the neighboring state of Wyo-
ming, while on the journey, his
mother, "a noble brave woman,
fell ill and passed away, and
there beneath the stars, he said,
in the centre of that vast plain,
we buried her. No one knows her

because my early boyhood was
spent in Idaho. learned then
something of the work OF the pio-

another question that is non
political and yet OF state inter-
est, said Congressman French,
is the forest reserve question.
You are doubtless familiar with
my attitude on that question,
yet / desire to refer to it here
Almost one-third of Idaho is to-
day in a forest reserve, and we
are not like the old lady who
took medicine upon the theory
that if a little is good a whole lot
ought to be better. Because
forest reserves are essential to
the conservation of the water
supply and the preservation OF a
great body of timber for future
use, it does not follow that large
areas of agricultural land and
lands whose highest use is for
agricultural purposes should be
held within forest reserves when
the land SO withdrawn can have
no possible value in maintaining
water for reclamation of arid
land. Yet such is the case and
thousands of acres are set apart
in north Idaho. Weare fighting
to have such lands as these ex-
Guided from the government for
ests and we are going to succeed.
| made this statement in Lewis
ton, Idaho, in a public debate
with Hon. Clifford Pinchot about
three months ago. Mr.. Pinchot did
not deny it, but some one through
the columns of paper outside Of
the state did deny it or intimate
that | was mistaken. Yet, sirs,
my position was vindicated within
four weeks after the discussion when
over one hundred thousand acres
of land was taken away from the
Bitter Root forest reserve and open
ed up to settlement and entry.
And we are going to continue this
fight until the lands in Idaho,
whose chief use is agricultural, can
be made available for the home
builder. This is to your interest
and to the interest of the entire
state
Again, within the forest reserves
in Idaho are about one million
acres of land belonging to the pub
lie school system of our state. The
same thing was done in other states
of the great west. A limit was
placed upon the price OF this land
of ten dollars an acre below which
it can not be sold. Similar lands
outside of the reserves have been

cars he started In the
third with his gun drawn. A
number of men were riding on
the platform and they seriously
objected to Hampton's gun play
on them. Two or three grabbed
him heaved him overheard, while
the train was going about thirty
miles per hour. The train offic.
srs did not note his absence at
the time and the train went on 10
st. Louis. The news now comes
that Hampton was killed by the,
fall, his neck being broken. Tha
body was taken up Sunday by
another train and taken TO his
home at Blodgett. II is not

Hampton off the train. The
