HAMMER GIVES
PRESS INTERVIEW
Confirms In Detail Story
Given the Public Last
Tuesday

The following interview taken from
yesterdays Spokesman Review con-
firms in detail the news first made
public by the Evening Teller relative
to the actual plans of operation con-
templated by the Philadelphia capital
lists who this week made personal ex-
animation of their properties in TIM
Craig mountain country. The inter-
view given to the Spokesman Review
is as follows:
"The Northwestern Lumber COM
pany, capitalized at $4,000 900. man
aged and financed by Pennsylvania
men, has been Incorporated to deveIep
the timber holdings of the company I'm
Idaho. Arizona and Pennsylvania. The
company was formed in Arizona and is
licensed to operate in Idaho and Penn
syivania," said w. c. Hammer. presi-
dent of the company. who is one OF the
party of 21 Pennsylvania capitalists
who returned yesterday from a visit
to timber holdings in the Craig noun
tain country near Forest.
1--WE have acquired approximately
$4,000 acres in the country adjacent
to Forest, which averages between
100000 to 100000 feet to the quar-
ter section of the finest class of yellow
pine fir and tamarack saw timber
Plans for a mill are under way we
will be guided solely by the advices
of Dominick Cameron of Lewiston,
Idaho, who Is our western representa-
tive"
Travel Through Forest Country III
Travelling in their special car, the
Sunset the party has made an in
vest'gation Of the stand of timber IN
the Forest country and yesterday AFT
ernoon held a conference with w. n
Mutt, general manager of the Northern
Pacific, Henry Blakely, general west
ern traffic manager. and It. RI. Cros-
well, an engineer of the company re-
Rard'ne the feasibility of building 3
snur from Forest to the holdings of the
Northwestern Lumber company. a dis
tanee of eight miles. The spur w9i1
probably be constructed from the town
or Vollmer on the new extension of
the Northern Pacific between Culdesac
and Grangeville. The matter has been
placed in the hands of Howard Elliott.
president of the Northern Pacific, and
developments await his decision.
I'm the Forest timber, we have cR1,nd
body of the highest grade timber wa
have yet seen,' said Mr.. Hammer. aTn
some places where grain is being rais-
ed among the lofty trees, we were sur
prised at the number of feet scaled
to the acre by B. r. RedIine, a practical
lumbernan who Is "a member of the
party. The great heighth of the stand
ing timber greatly makes up for the
size at the stump. Every member or
the party has been highly pleased with
the outlook. Good logging roads have
been built throughout the tract.
Cost of Development Cheap.
THE quality of the soil among the
massive trees and the mild climate
conducive to the cultivation of crops
will make the cost of numbering smali-
er than in the eastern forests. Grain
and hay for the logging teams can be
easily raised in the standing timber.

porting the feed"

Mr.. w. w. Kitchin, Congressman
from Fifth District, has given out
to newspaper reporters that he thinks
of being candidate for Governor,
but that it is too early to open the
campaign now. Solicitor Brooks, of
same district, has also given out an
interview in which he states that
many Of his friends have begged
him to run for Congress to succeed
Mr.. Kitchin, and that he may do SO.
When the Industrial News gave
out the slate made up by the Fifth
District Combine last summer the
members of the Combine got very
mad and said they were misrepre-
sented. Later developments show
that the paper was correct in every
one it mentioned in connection
with the Combine, which shows
that the Industrial News is not q
falsifier, but timply an enterprising
newspaper. Mr.. Kitchin should
apologize.

The Strenuous Governor.

"Our strenuous Governor over at
Raleigh recommends that the law
makers appoint somebody to inves-
tigate and see if reformatory for
youthful criminals is needed In this
State, giving them two years time
to do the investigating act. This is
the way the Governor lodges that
important question. He also Incl
dentally suggests that he can, by ex-
ercising the pardoning power, attend
to such cases as need attention with
out cost to the State. This proposi-
ton to personally look after all the
hayward youths of the State of
North Carolina, is the most strenu-
GUS proposition that ever came from
one man in this State. Aftertthe idea
of reformatory for youthful crimi-
mails becomes as popular As the tenn.
perance question, our strenuous gov
ernor may then be willing to stand
behind the sacred deek' and in his
eloquent and thunder tones, speak
80 warmly in favor of reformatory
as to make folks weep. In the mean
time our legislators at Raleigh
should go ahead promptly and pro-
vide for a reformatory and do their
duty to their constituents, without
waiting to see if It's going to be
popular Our Home.

The Greensboro Record understands
that an effort is to be made to have
the next legislature create 4 judicial

the number of judicial districts in

to sixteen. What is the matter ?

We do not undertake to answ' r
the Observers questions, but they
call to mind q little bit of fairly
modern history. It was about the
year 1898, as we'll as we remember
that ex Gov. Aycock said that crime
walked the State like pestilence,
that sleep lay down with alarm,
that the sound of the pistol was
more frequent than the sound OF
the mocking- bird, etc., and that 1t
was necessary to put the Democratic
party in power to restore good Or
der. Since the Democratic party hss
been put in power it has becOme
necessary to increase the judicial
districts from twelve to sixteen and
to give Office to four more solici TORS,
and in the meantime our criminal
dockets are more congested than
ever, and 1t looks like, as the Greens
boro Record and the Observer say,
there is need Of still more judicial
districts. Truly, what is the mat
ter-what is the matter with the

The South Carolina Senate, after
a brief discussion over the matter

The resolution adopted calls upon

committee to frame bill looking to
the adjustment of the State dispen'

as between dispensaries and prohi-
bition. This is in accO. dance with

Governor Glenn and the Reformatory.
Gov. Glenn is reported as being
very much hurt over the fact that
the impression has gone out over
the State that he is opposed to re-
formatory for youthful criminals.
If the Governor was earnestly in
favor of a reformatory why did he
not say so plainly in his message
But instead of coming directly to
the point and stating his position
clearly, we find the following equiv
ocation in his messge:
"Therefore, as this is a matter of
grave Importance and no mistake
should be made, and as for the pres
ent 1 can by parole pardon, pro-
vide homes for Young criminals,
would it not be wise for you to
appoint or have the Governor ap-
point committee of wise and hui
name men to take the whole matter
into consideration and report to the
next legislature if reformatory is
absolutely needed, and if so, to rec
ommmend the kind most suita BILE
for such criminals, and then with
all necessary information before
them, there will be slight chan,e OF
there being any mistake made"
If the Governor is in favor of the
reformatory, why does he want to
defer its establishment till the next
legislature, and why did he propose
to exercise his parole pardonine
power as substitute for q reforma-
tory. The fact is the Governor was
weakened and wabbly on the sub
ject and was unable to make up hi
mind until he saw the food of news
paper criticism which his position
brought forth.-Randolph Bulletin
