OPEN RESERVE.
Petition TO Have Idaho Lands in
Kootenai Reserve Opened.

A. J. Kent is preparing and cir
culating a petition to have the
Idaho lands in the Kootenai forest
reserve reopened to settlement.
The proposition is commendable
and Just, and Mr.. Kent is to be
commended TO? the time taken in
pushing the matter. The petition
itself states the case and is as
follows:
To the Hon. Clifford Pinchot,
Forester, Washington, d. c.
We, the citizens of Bonner
county, Idaho, petition the Hon
orable Forester to eliminate and
restore to settlement all that por-
ton of the Kootenai Forest Reserve
in Idaho, lying north OF the Koot-
enai river in Bonner county, and
contiguous to the Villages of Bon
ners Ferry, Copeland and Port
Hill, Bonner County, Idaho.
Said tract was withdrawn from
in the year of 1901, and
by reason of such withdrawal all
of said land which was and is
agricultural, has been withheld
from the honest homeseekers for
about six years.
This portion of the reserve en-
braces the Moyea Valley, Round
Prairie Valley and the Moyea
Flats, all of which have been burned
over, is good soil, and is practically
level land, well adapted to fruit
growing and agriculture.
Wherefore, the undersigned resi-
dents of Bonner county, Idaho,
would urgently petition the Hon
orable Clifford Pinchot, Forester,
to restore said lands to the public
domain for entry at once, and in
duty bound we ever pray.
Mr.. Kent will secure go to 70
affidavits OF settlers on reserves,

LAY IN SUPPLY Of COAL
IS ADVICE OF HARTMAN
Great Railroad Man Predicts Coal
Shortage This Winter, Because of
EXPANSION of All Lines of
Industry.

Omaha.-E H. Hartman and his
two sons attended church at Trinity
Episcopal cathedral here Sunday dur
ing a break in the westward vacation
trip which the railroad magnate is
making on his special train. In answer
to questions during the afternoon, Mr..
Hartman said:
Il think we shall have coal short
age this winter due to the general in
crease of the consumption Of coal by
reason of the great expansion of all
lines of industry all over the country
and also to the fact that some mines
are not able to turn out as much as
they might because of lack of labor,
and then there is the shortage OF
freight cars to be reckoned with. And
as to this car shortage, | want to say
a word in reply to the charge that the
railroads are wholly to blame for the
car shortage. The charge is unjust in
many respects. Numerous causes con-
Spire to bring about a shortage or con-
gestiOn in cars of which the people
know nothing, and they are causes for
which the railroads are not RESPONSE
BILE and cannot avoid
Mr.. Hartman deprecated the recent
tendency of rate legislation. Said he:
In the development and improve
ment of railroads one factor of vital
consideration is the relative cost of
material and labor and the scale Of
rates for traffic Labor is scarce and
much higher paid than ever, material
is often hard to get and costs more,
yet rates have been reduced and taxes
increased This is not consideration
which holds out either to the people
or the railroads the brightest pros
poets Under the present conditions of
the higher cost of labor and material
the tendency of rates should remain
stationery, but is it?''
