Leased River SlOughs.

The Carbon Timber Company,
thru its agent, George Arnold,
has leased the sloughs running
thru the Sowders and Kidding
ranches near the mouth of Cow
creek. These sloughs will be
doomed and used to hold the later
tie drives until such a time as the
first part of the drive has been
loaded at Fort Steele. This will
prevent the overlooking of the
boom at Fort Steele and allow the
ties to ONE down the river as
needed.

Forest Service Notes

Protection of the reserves from
fire has been the most important
task laid upon the Forest Service.
1t is cause for congratulation that
the loss by fire during the year
was SO slight. Indeed, the saving
which resulted from the organized
care of the eserve force was I'M
doubtedly worth more then the
whole cost of administering the
reserves. Only about eight fires
of any consequence occurred on
the reserves during the calendar
year 1905, a eason of extreme
dryness and one in which under
ordinary circumstances the dam
age from fires should have been un-
usually large. This small number
was due in large part to system OF
patrol. which leads to the discov-
ery of fires before much damage
has been done. SO far during the
calender year 1906 the damage
from fire has been extremely
small, even in comparison with
that in 1905. Increased efficiency
of the patrol system, combined
with favorable climatic conditions,
has led to this favorable result

tary Wilson.

We call attention to the article in
this weeks issue on "Homesteads" in
another column. The criticisms of
Senators Clark of Wyoming and
Hepburn of Idaho, concerning the
maladministration of Secretary Hitch
cock are timely when we see what
Canada is doing to draw our home
steaders away from us. Our home
stead laws are harsh and drastic as
compared with those of Canada and.
when administered by such men as
Hitchcock, they can be made doubly
hard to comply with. We of the west
want settlers. but we are not going to
get them if Canada is allowed to draw
them away from us by. laws that are
far more liberal and by offering lands
that are just as good. A halt will
have to be called on this continual
cry of fraud" There is not a tenth
part of the fraud that is asserted.

TO IMPROVE FIRST STREET
Persons Interested in it Will Meet Sat
urday Afternoon.


A meeting of the First Street I'M
provement club will be held in the
Office of A. j. Durland Saturday after
noon at | o'clock. The purpose of the
meeting is to discuss ways and means
of permanently improving First street
and making good road of it from
uptown to the Junction. All who are
in any way interested in the matter,
are invited to be present.
Mr.. Durland now has a half dozen
teams engaged in hauling bricks from
the high school debris to the southern
part of First street. He says that
while this will make it rough for a
little while, the pulverized brick will
make an excellent foundation for a
fine permanent road.
Some people have suggested of late
that, since the Northwestern is haul
ing gravel through Norfolk from Ions
Pine east, there might be an opportu
nifty to secure enough of it to hell
build a permanent highway.

TRIBUTE TO OUR WOMEN.
Eminent Frenchwoman Says They are
Distinct Type Of Superiority.

New York, April %. American
women have no equals in all the
world"
This unrestricted praise of the
American woman has no limitations
and comes from the distinguished
French writer and student of social
conditions, Nine. Laurence Fiedler, in
an interview yesterday.
THE American practically holds the
solution to the problem of woman's
advancement" said Nine. Fielder.
Her freedom her breadth of thought,
her personal charm, her culture, her
manner of dress place her as a dis
.inct type of superiority"
"rhe life of the American woman,
her delightful comaraderie with her
men friends, her wholesome viewpoint
on social conditions, her respect for
work and the equality of working We.
men, have the greatest effect upon
! the physical problem with which
have been struggling.
The decrease in consumption in
New York believe to be directly due
to the intellectual freedom of the
American women. Education and
freedom of thought naturally give en-
lightenment in the matter of hygiene
and the cleanliness of all classes OF
American women is something that
impressed me at the very start.
"As to the high standard of moral
ity | cannot speak too strongly on this
subject. And your morality in this
country | trace back to the intellec
tual freedom and the general breadth
of justice of your women. You have
your clubs, your professions open tt
women, your training schools for girls
Everything tends to the bettermen
of women.
There is one phase of the breadth
of your American woman's work which
impressed me deeply. This is thu
club for models This club which
gives a sort of home and moral sup
port to models, shows what can b,
done in protecting and ennobling girl
in a line of work in which in Pari
they degenerated to the lowest level
up to the time | arrived in New
York | thought French women TIN
best dressed in the world. Now
yield the palm to the American VIC
men. Never will forget my first wal
: up Fifth avenue. 1t was like a pane
rama of chicness and loneliness
American women have the most pei
feet sense of color and there is a
innate artistic expression in the wa
they wear their clothes"
