THE CITY OF THE FUTURE.

It would not be surprising if the m,nes of the Panama should yield in the sluicing season shortly to commence nearly or quite half as much gold as was credited to the whole of Alaska for tiie year 1906. It is also certain that 1908 will exceed in the Panama the output of 1907, so that it seems altogether reasonable to reckon that between now and the end of the sluicing season of 1908 at least S20, 900 .000 will come out of the ground of the Tan ana It would be difficult to form an intelligent opinion as to when the max imum will be reached and production in the district will commence to fall away; it is enough to know that the'district will not be short lived and that ample time of high production will be afforded i'll which to satisfy any mans ambition for making money through productive enterprise.
 The next half a dozen years are bound t bring remarkable changes and unu- sual opportunities. At the setting in of winter in 1908 it will be surprising if a railroad is not in operation from the ,n hA creeks. Incidentally it would appear that steamboating on the Panama would decline to almost nothingness and the supply point for all the mining country would shift to the banks of the l ig river. With railroad in operation it would be but matter of two hours longer in de- livering goods to the mines, say from Rampant, than it is at the present time from Cinema. One transfer from steamer to railway is nece, sary from whatever river point the rail terminal may be; and thcref 'rc it does not seem to admit of question that the cheaper, safer and slner delivery would leave Tanuua river navigation out ui the -chcme entirely

w ell Otto Boise

Ignatz We'll of Standpoint and
republican nominee for the state
senate in the last election departed
oe Wednesday for Boise to be in
attendance at the legislature for his
contest with Mr.. McClear. 1t is
claimed that the Irregularities were
very gross in Occur d'Alere and
that the election was carried on
without any thought of complying
with the statutory requirements
and further that a recount will
show that there was a mistake in
the counting of the ballots This
contest will harm no one. If the
election vas not carried on as re-
quired by law it will serve to re-
mind people that laws are passed
for a purpose and must be obeycd

and the support Of the rest of the
r-pub lean members from this
county has been promised. The
bill will be introduced in due
season. y
Another piece of important legis-
lation that effects Us directly will
be that in all probability a hill
will be introduced providing for a
new Judicial district. The three
counties # Latah, Nez Perez and
Idaho are now served by enc
judge and 50 would we have only
one judge to look after three
counties when Bonn,r county is
horn. 1t is proposed to redistrct
these six counties. This would
necessitate another Judge and we
know OF no one who would satisfy
the pc pc any better than Hon.
r bert n. Dunn, who received a
majority vote in Kootenai county
at the asst e &c ion.

Al the election was carried on reg
ularly there is no question but
what Mr.. McClelr will be seated.
We believe the senate will do its
duty in this matter. This contest
is not a question OF politics. II
will be as to whether or not the
law has been complied with and
all law abiding citizens will GER
taiuly favor the enforcement OF
the same.

Idaho's Senator Ranks High in
Upper House
IS FAMOUS STATESMAN
His.Lafest Act is the Amendment to
aAe RailrOad Rate
Law

Senator Hepburn is Idaho's fure-
most statesman and today is rec
ognized as one Of the most
influential men in the United
States senate. He championed
the cause Of the pure food bill
which was passed last session and
which became operative on the
first of this year. This bill is one
of the most important pieces OF
Legislation ever passed by congress
as it effects every home in the
United States.
His fight for the past three
years on the forest reserve matter
was a gallant one. On this ques
ton he stood virtually alone, being
opposed even by our democratic
senator, Mr.. Dubois, but all It's
opposition only stirred him to
greater efforts and he made a
gallant fight for the people of the
state OF Idaho. This question has
not been settled, i has just begun
but whatever the outcome he will
always lie remembered as being
faithful to the people.
His recent speech befare the
legislative council of The American
Medical association with referenc e
to patent medicines and impure
foods was splendid and it would
not be surprising if salutary legis-
la ion be enacted with reference to
proprietary medicines.
He has placed before the senate
an amendment to the interstate
commerce act commonly kl own as
the loug and short haul amend
ment and if passed will result in
our merchants obtaining better
rates. The combined influence Of
the railroads of the United States
will naturally be found opposing
this measure and the outcome will
bs eagerly watched by the people
of Idaho as it effects every com
munity in Idaho.
Senator Hey burn has introduced
his land court bill which provide:
for this court having jurisdiction
of cases involving controversies
over public lands and it is confd
emily expected that the came will
be enacted into law
In case the japanese question
comes before congress his attitude
will be eagerl y watched as he is 9
member OF the committee of immi-
grafton.
AS a fighter and a statesman
Senator Hepburn has o peer.

YOU CAN FILE
ON RESERVE
Agricultural Lands Open for
Homestead EntrY
5dW 70 TILE ON THEM
ANY Lands Will be Classified on the
Application to the Forestry
Department.


unders andiug as to what IA ethod
nee ssary to pursue in or er for
settlers who nave been on lands in
tie forest reserve TO obtain filings
on the same. As we believe that
many people in this vicinity are
especially interested in his matter
the Herald viii print the main
formalities necessary to be COM
piled with for a homesteader to
obtain a filing o. this land, accord
ing to the bill as passed by con-
gress.
In order to file on land within
the reserve it is first necessary to
have the land classified by the
forester to asc rtain whether it is
agricultural or timber land. The
amount OF timber on the land, the
dis ance from an a, ailable market
and the geographical situation all
figure in the classification and no
more than 100 acres classified I'M
der one applic4 ton, but on failure
to get it classified as agricultural
land ar application may be filed
on another quarter section After
the classification Of the lard the
method of procedure is practically
the same as in ordinary homestead
entries and the matter is tai out
of the hands of the forester and
turned over to the department of
the interior and all disr utes as to
priority of claims will be settled
by the int Tor department.
In making application for cla'sl-
fication it is necessary to describe
the land if surveyed according to
the section lines and legal sub
divisions of course first naming the
reserve within VIII ch it is situated,
and if unsurveyed by reference to
natural objects, streams, improve
ments and where pc sible a sketch
map.
Another feature Of importance is
the one giving those IN the forest
reserv' prior to January LIST, 1906,
an additional homestead right
This provides that anyone re-
siding on the land who has already
exercised his homestead right but
is otherwise competent TO enter
lands under the Homestead laws,
are granted an additional home
stead right for the purposes OF
this act only and such settlers
must otherwise comply with the
homes tead law and in addition
thereto must pay two dollars and
fifty cents per acre for lands en-.
tered in such manner.
The right of Communication does
not apply to entries mac c in the
reserve but proof must be made as
to residence, cultivation and i'm
provemt mt the same as in a five
year proof of homesteads. For any
further information On this sub
ject you are referred to the u. S
Commissioner at this place.

AT THE NATIONS CAPITAL
Some Interesting Happenings Briefly
Told.
Appeal In Important Case.


The recent decisions by Judge
Evans, in the Federal Court at
Louisville and by Judge Mccall, in
the Federal Court at Memphis, both
of whom declared unconstitutional
the Employers Liability Act passed
at the last session of Congress, were
brought to President Roosevelt's at
tention and the announcement was
made at the White House that the
President will direct that an appeal
be taken from these decisions. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is greatly interested
in this act, and earnestly recon.
mendsd to Congress at it's last ses-
sion that it be passed. He had a
conference with Attorney General
Bonaparte and Secretary Straus, Of
the Department of Commerce and
Labor.
Although the government was not
directly interested as party to those
cases, yet, in view of their import
ance, the government asked and re-
ceived permission to intervene, and
Assistant Attorney Harr made an
argument in both of these cases, di-
recting his attention solely to the
constitutional question involved.
Mr.. Harr received information
from counsel representing the plain
tiff in the Louisville case that an
appeal would Immediately be taken.
There is no doubt, however, that
sometime will elapse before the.
cases can come up for final adjudica-
ton in the Supreme Court.
