VOTE ON SMOOT
CASE JUNE 29
In Salt Lake City Interview
Dubois Thinks He Will
Be UnSeated

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 1.-THE
Evening Telegram prints the following
interview with United States Senator
Fred T. Dubois:
II think that a vote will be reached
about January 30 on Senator
Smoot. There is no doubt of its COM
ing to an issue in that manner. NV
impression is that he will be unseated.
The west has Jared very well, and
the closing of this congress will mark
the greatest victory for western con-
gresional delegations
For tweny years they have been
working to secure legislation that
would protect the forests, conserve the
watersheds, and for basis for nation
al irrigation. All feel that these sew
eral objects have now been attained
Big Help to Settlers.
The first practical demonstration
of the national fathering of irrigation
is in operation just east of Reno, New
vada. The water will be turned on at
the Minidoka project next spring.
Settlers have been on the ground there
for years. and after they shall have
begun to receive the water for ii splen-
did results will follow.
1.-The system the government has
adopted Of advancing the money for
bringing these arid tracts under irri-
cation and permitting the settlers to
reimburse the government subsequent
ly, is the basis for development that
is far-reaching throughout the west
We are just beginning to realize the
results therefore, Of all the congress
sional effort in the way of irrigation.
1.-THE forest reserve policy of the
government is fixed. 1t protects the
headwaters of the streams for irri-
cation and for sheep and cattle. It
has shut out timber spectators en-
tirely and also has made it impossi-
BILE for syndicates to gobble them up"

Hard Fight Against ]. F.
HINT for Speaker Of
the House

WALLACE, Idaho, Jan. 4.-The
Times publishes the following special
dispatch from its correspondent at
Boise on the speakership contest:
T.. H. West of Cassia county is get
ting acquainted and gently urging
his claims for preferment and A. H.
Coner Is hard at work but seems to
be making but little Roadway in his
campaign.
A current Of the sentiment seems
to be settling towards s. d. Taylor Of
Kootenai and his friends are busy
endeavoring In every way to foster
and encourage it.
There are many rumors afioat and
hints that H. ]. Rossi of the Shoshone
delegation would come out for the
speakership If developments give a
hint that he stood show to win.
This tends to weaken Conner, as it
tends to show that the Shoshone dele
cation is not as solid for him as at
first reported.
kootenai County Backing Taylor.
Kootenai members will back Taylor
with all their strengt. and enthusi-
asm and seem to be getting results in
the. other northern counties and also
in the south.
McCfacken's candidacy is exciting
no interest and at this time cuts but
little figure
]. Frank Hunt is not prosecuting his
campaign with the vigor expected,
seeming to rest content in the back
ground, letting the other candidates
do the hustling.
The persistent and growing oppo-
sition to Hunts candidacy throughout
the state is beginning to make the I'M
nression and there ~ reason to believe
that powerful influences are at work
erdeavorin~ to adjust ratters in
such a way that Hunt will be elimi-
mated from the race, thus avoiding
situation that is certain to be most
embarrassing to the republican party
in the future
A. d. Mckinley Is here making a
strong bid for sergeana at -arms and
Is receiving much encouragement. His
northern friends are losing no oppor-
tunity to boost for the Judge and his
chances at this time seem most PRONE
Using.

OFFICIAL ROUTE
OF milwaukee
Goes by Way Of Tekoa From
Montana to Pacific
Coast

In a statement issued by President
Earring he gives minute details of the
! trans-continental route of the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul road from
| Chicago to Seattle
/ A map has also been issued
| which shows that the Milwaukee will
give strong competition to the North
ern Pacific practically all the way
from Bismark to Seattle, For a por-
ton of the way, practically from
Harlowton, Montana, the lines are a
| considerable distance apart, but are
sufficiently close to enable both to tap
the intervening territory with branch
lines. The new line parallels the
Northern Pacific very closely from
Helena to Lewiston. while from Lom-
bard to Butte it crosses the Northern
Pacific three times and closely paral
les it all the way.
Will Cost About $6O,OOO,OOO.
From Butte west to to Seattle the
conflict of territory is still more ap-
parent. and shows the reasons for
Mr.. Hills efforts to keep the company
out of Seattle and out of the west.
Between these two cities the new line
will cross the Northern Pacific nine
times, and, as seen on the map, the
two roads look as though they were
one to Seattle.
1t is said the cost of the road will
be about $4,000 a mile, which would
make the total expenditure from Ev-
arts to Seattle about $50, 200. 900. The
distances over the new route will be
as follows: Chicago to Evarts, sos
miles; ENar;s to Butte, TAI miles,
Butte to Seattle. $50 miles; total
mileage, Chicago to Seattle, 2,s05
miles.
1t is expected the road will be COM
pleted to Butte January 1, 1908, and
to the coast year later.
Extension Begins x GIsnhan.
The extension will begin at Glen
ham, South Dakota, SO miles west OF
Aberdeen. and eight miles west Of
Evarts. the present crossing Of the
Missouri river.
1t will cross the Missouri river IL
IS west Of 0lenham ana about the
same distance north Of Evarts.
| The bridge will consist Of three
spans of 425 feet each with steel tres
tie approaches 1900 and 1875 feet in
length on the east and west sides re-
| spectively Seven and one half mil
lion pounds of steel will be required
for the superstructure Of this bridge.
and the contract has been let to the
Pennsylvania Steel Company.
From the river the line will follow
the valley of Oak creek and it's tribu-
taries for about 40 miles. from which
point it will practically parallel the
state line on the plateau on the Can
nonball and Grand rivers for about so
miles, from which latter point advan-
tage will be taken of natural drainage
to the crossing of the Little Missouri
river.

Because IT'S for One Thing Only, and
Lewiston People Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for everything

Doan's Kidney Pills do one thing

They cure sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney
i'll.
George Carey. farmer, of 305 Center
street, owner OF a ranch about ten
miles from Pocatello. says: Il can
say that Doan's Kidney Pills are a
most excellent remedy for disordered
kidneys and weak back that have
ever used. and 1t is with pleasure that
I endorse such a medicine. For over
six years I have been annoyed with
backache across the lains and irregu-
lar action of the kidney secretions.
This caused scalding sensation and
otherwise showed that my kidneys
were disordered. When I bent over
was sure to experience pains in the
region of the kidneys and when
Strengthened they weer just as bad. ]

commenced their use. Five boxes
cured the difficulty with the kidney Sc

EXPLAINS FOREST RESERVES
Bulletin by Department Gives Much
Valuable Information.

"The Use of the National Forests"
a publication just printed by the de-
partment of agriculture, is a brief,
clear manual for public information
aas to the forest policy of the nation
al government.
1t is too true, as the short preface
to the public says, that "many peo-
pie do not know what national for
ests are. Others may have heard
much about them, but have no idea
of their true purpose and use." 1t is
the object of this publication to ex-
plain just what the national forests
mean, what they are for, and how to
use them.
In the first place 1t is explained
how the forests are created and how
their boundaries are drawn. Next,
their direct use and value are shown
from the point of view of the home
seeker, the prospector and miner, the
use of timber, the use of the range,
the use of water, and other users OF
forest resources. Third, IT is shown
how the forests are intended for use
for the production of usable products
| and for the establishment and MAIN
| tenance of homes; how on all OF
them the timber is protected from
fire, the water flow is kept steady
the forage on the range is increased
and guarded from abuse; and how
| in addition, they serve as great pub
lie Fairgrounds and as breeding places
and refuge for game. Finally, the
management of the national forests
is described.
Here 1t is that the great usefulness
of the forests is brought out mos
clearly and strikingly; for the for
ests are managed by the people II
their own interests, and every mean
is used to meet the desires and want
of all forest users half way by dealing
with them In the main literally on tn

COMPLAIN OF EXPRESS RATES.
ReIry Business OF Washington Cam
not Stard Increased Burden.

hpt otot'u ihtEtuSttt buTuVn.
The state railroad commission of
Washington has filed its first COM
plant, since its organization, more
than two years ago, against an ex-
press company doing business in this
state. The complaint is in the name
of the commission. against the
Northern Express company. and de-
mands a reduction in the express
rate on berries from Sumner and
Puyallup to Seattle and Tacoma. The
case is set for Monday, August 5.
The informal complaint came to
the commission few days ago from
the Puyallup and Sumner Fruit
Growers association. The associa-
tion states that on June 20, without
any previous notice, the local agent
CT the express company at Puyallup
received a telegram from NJ. G. Hall,
superintendent at Portland, notifying
him that thereafter all berry ship
ments would be billed at 80 pounds
per crate, instead of % pounds as
heretofore.
1t is claimed that the berry business
WIN ll'l StdHu tiils iiCISdseu Idie, dHh
that there is no reason in its estab-
lishment.
1t is stated that the receipts of the
express company at Sumner and
Puyallup for the berry season run
from $4,000 to $4,000 per season,
and that taking the average on all
berry shipments, the express company
gets moro ont of the berries than the
berry growers themselves get.

WAILA WALLA CROPS GOOD.
Yield Will Run from 25 to 80 Bushels
In Foothills.

The farmers Of this section are
fairing far better than those of other
sections of the west or elsewhere,
state those conyersant with wheat
conditions locally and foreign, says
the Walla Walla Statesman.
In the immediate vicinity of Walla
Walla wheat is expected to run in the
neighborhood of 80 bushels per acre
while in the foothills a yield of from
20 to 25 bushels is expected. Though
this is considerably below a good
yield, it will prove highly satisfactory
in view of the late winter which has
been experienced and low crops else
where.
According to a local large wheat
grower. who has just completed a
tour of the Palouse and Big Bend
country, wheat in the Walla Walla
district is making a much better
showing than spring wheat, owing to
the late spring.
1t is expected heading will be COM
menced generally about July 90
though favored patches will be put
under the header all the way from
July Is to 20.

RESERVATION CELEBRATION.
Has Attracted Many People from
Pendleton.

A great many people went out to
the reservation yesterday to see the
Indian celebration, which includes
dancing, horseracing, footracing and
other sports. They have been cele-
brating since the Fourth and will
continue tonight.
1t is a sight the people of Pendle-
ton never tire of and is certainlw
worth the trip to see, although they
do not celebrate on as large a scale
as they have in the past, being'short
of money.
The Indian is an inveterate
gambler and will risk his all on a
horserace, so when short of funds he
does not have the interest in the
sports he would have otherwise.
There is no liquor on the reserva-
ton and everything is orderly, and
lady visitors need fear no rowdyism.
About 800 Indians are now at the
camp above Mission.

Remorse over running away from
a devoted wife on the reservation
prompted Jim Guyer, an educated
full-blood Umatilla Indian, to at
tempt suicide last Saturday after
noon by shooting himself in the
breast with a 3S-calibre revolver.
However, the shot failed to kill him
and he is now in a critical condition
at the home of Joe Craig, his cousin
Guyer walked three miles after
firing the shot into his body and
while 1t is serious wound, 1t may
not prove fatal.
About year ago Guyer ran away
from his wife, who is a sister of Jim
Kash Kash, and an intelligent young
woman, and went to Yakima with
Lacey Luton, well known character
on the reservation. There they were
both under arrest numerous times for
drunkenness and finally Guyer was
placed on the rock pile and kept
there for some time, which had the
effect of SOLDERING and strengthening
him out when he returned to his
home on the Umatilla reservation,
but still refused to live with his wife
and continued to live with the Luton
woman.
During the celebration on the res
| ervation the Luton woman has had
numerous other dashing admirers
and Jealousy over this, coupled with
remorse at having deserted a good
| wife, prompted the attempt at sui
eide
Many of the Indians complain Bit
terly at the evils of the Fourth of
July celebration on the reservation,
and claim that these events are more
serious than any other evils with
/, which the more intelligent Indians
have to contend.
Although It is said by the police
that whiskey is not taken to the eel
ebration, yet the older and more ed
ucated Indians say that it is taker
there in large quantities by both mer
and women and that at these events
while drinking and carousing many
very good Indians are led astray anC
many families broken up.
Every effort will be made to stoJ
the annual celebrations and the case.
