LUNIBERMEN ARE sCRIPPING.
Roofing Out Settlers Along Occur
dAlene River.

Information was received at the Of
flee Of Forest Supervisor Fem today
that the lumber companies are busy
on the north fork of the Coeur d'Alene
river laying scrip on the timber lands
of tina: section, says the Boise Capital
News. There are many settlers along
tho stream, some of whom have been
there good many years. The lands
were recently surveyed, but the plats
have not yet been filed in the land
cfficc. The lumber men are prepar-
1ng to contest the settlers on the
ground that the land is noJ fit for ag-
rlculture and therefore cannot be
takcn as homesteads.
Tho country involved has been in
cluded within the lines of the Coeur
d'Alene forest reserve. and an inter-
esting contest is likely to ensue be-
twcer the forest service, the settlers
and the lumber companies with their
land scrip.
The settlers living there in good
faith cannot he disturbed in their
holdings, by the reserve order their
land being exempt from the procla-

cd temporary appointments and as
