al have been especially pleased
with my stay in Occur d'Alene and In
particular with the extreme frankness
and Courteousness OF the citizens In
maintaining their position in regard
to forest reserves and shall not fail
to tell the president ot their frank
nesp and honesty Such we're praC
tically the closing words of of Chief
Forester Pinchot as expressed in
private interview.
Chief Forester Pinchot, during
Saturday afternoon answered many
questions concerning the department
policy. At the auditorium be made
an address covering much of the same
ground and bringing out several new
points.
He considered the purpose Of the
present forest policy. He claimed it
was intended to prevent a timber
famine in our country, which lie
said would re upon us within the
next few decades. He said the de-
mand for timber is increasing very
rapidly and many long headed
men have set about practically to
effect a deal whereby they may be-
come immensely rich even beyond
the expection of the most thoughtful.
1t Is to prevent this probability that
the government has interfered.
Another purpose is to guard the
irrigation resources of the country by
providing water storage in the noun
tains.
He said the department desired to
prevent forest fires and claimed one
hundredth per cent of the forest was
burned over last year, or s75, 600 loss,
which indicated much better results
than heret ofore.
Another object Is to secure a Sec
ond corp of timber by having the
smaller trees preserved, which in the
course If from 20 to sc years will
again become a magnificent forest.
at is our object to set forth the re-
sources of the country for the greatest
good of the greater number of citiz-
ems. The timber sales in Idaho last
year aggregated sl74, 900. This
year We will spend $73, 900 in Idaho
in improvements such as building
roads, telephones, and bridges
throughout the state. This will be
direct benefit to many people. "
When q reserve is created the first
object is to exclude agricultural
lands. When a settler desires to take
up land or q homestead within re
serve be gets a permit and relies up
on having the department declare II
to De more valuable for agriculture
than for its timber.
1--WE are willing to let eODscien-
tious homesteaders go in, but We are
careful to sift out those who want the
land for its timber and who will
then move on"
He cnntended the department was
following out the laws Of congress
which could have been changed at
any session had 1t been desired by
that Law making body. He said the
department had made many mistakes
and perhaps would in the future I;

the disputed road will be established

An Expert Swordiish

Hank Carruthers, of Block Island.
R. l., an old-time fisherman, last year

than two feet long, which had refused

the transportation to tidal pond be-
hind the Carruthers homestead and the
entrance to the pond was closed with
a net to prevent his escape. Since then
Mr.. Carruthers has tanned the fish so
that it will feed from his hand, and the

to the sight that they did not notice 1t
any more. Last month a French gen.

WHY THE HORSE SHES
Sensible Explanation Of the Habits
OF Well-Known Animals.

Scrabble Explsnation Of the Habits
OF Well-Known Animals.
DIR. Louis Robinson, an English zool.
ogist, has just given to the world an
account of the habits and mode of life
of certain animals, and the conclusion
at which he seems to arrive Is that all
su0h phenomena may be explained on
the ground Of atavaism. Thus he
claims that the horse of our day de-
rives his swiftness and power Of en-
durance from the fact that his ances-
tors in former days were obliged to
flee from and frequently to defend
thenlselvesoagainst their great enemies
1.-The, wolves. In like manner he
claims that the reason that the horse
SHES is because his ancestors were
forced to be constantly on the alert
against hidden enemies, and that the
reason that he rears and plunges is
because only by pursuing such actics
could his f0refathers shake off wild
animals who had leaped upon their
backs.
Sheep when fright htened Immediately
rush on to the highest point they can
reach. The reason, says DR.. Robinson,
is because al: sheep originally inhab-
tied mountainous districts. And this,
he claims. is also the reason why they
wear a thick fleece of wool all the year
through. the summer temperature in
mountainous districts being almost as
cold as that Of winter. Finally. we are
assured that the reason sheep invaria-
bly, follow leader is because their an
cestors Were obliged to go in Indian
file through the narrow mountainous
passes.
Pigs have also engaged DR.. Robin
sons attention He was puzzled for a
good while as to the cause of their
grunting. says the Chicago Times
Herald, but now he thinks he has dis
covered the real reason. The pigs OF
to-day. he says. evidently grunt be-
cause their ancestors made their
homes in thick woods. and only by
making this sound could they keep
track of each other and guard them
selves against going astray from the
common herd. Commenting on tris
latter explanation. a scientist suggests

Hot Baths.

Here ID q point that English folks
might learn from the Japanese. The
reason we are lnclned, in this country,

water as near boiling point as possible,
there is no fear OF your getting cold
afterward The Japanese revel in
these hot tubs, says Chambers Jour.
nal. They take them three and four
times a day. In some districts of ia
pan, I believe, the people are amphih-
'ous; for months ut time they live
