CHAMPION OF
FOREST RESERVE
\
Representative ]. Surridge
Thinks They Are Good
For the State

Representative James Surridge Of
Idaho county, one of the pioneers Of
the state, Is one of the members Of
the legislature who Is strictly and al
together In favor Of the forest re-
serves, says the Boise Statesman. He
believes the forest reserve is 'benelt
provision for looking after the inter-
ests of the future. In an interview.
which embodies part of his address on
the forest reserve resolution in the
house last week. and some other mat
tiers on the reserve subject, Mr.. Sur
ridge said:
"while not all the members of the
house look on the forest reserve ques-
ton as / do, or see the benefits ac-
cruing therefrom as I do, I believe
that when they had as much expert
ence with 1t as have they will think
better of it than they do at present.
Bitter Root Reserve.
1.-THE Bitter Root forest reserve,
partly in Idaho county, was as most
people of this state know. one of the
first to be created in the state. 1t
was sanctioned by Grover Cleveland.
"It was the first time the miner and
prospector had come in contact with
the red tape Of the federal govern
ment, and like all of his kind, he
chafed under the restraint. But he
belongs to the energetic, thoughtful
intelligent class of citizens, and he is
fast coming to be the most ardent
supporter Of the system.
"As remember the forests of Idaho
county 80 years ago, they were Their

"They could not get down to tnt

there was a heavy underbrush. II
places there was considerable dow
timber, hiding all traces Of the quart

ent time is the time TO anticipate the
future needs of such country, where
trees and industries grow slowly.
Through the operation of the for
est reserve, many of the areas that
were once covered with big trees, but
were burned over by the ruthless
prospector, are being covered by a
growth Of fine young timber that will
some day supply the needs Of the resi-
dent miners. and of all the people who
depend ON lumber for building or for
any purpose whatsoever.

BY TELEPHONE
New Treasurer Boise County
Accuses Scranton of
Keeping Funds

On a telephone message from the
sheriff of Boise county Sheriff Hod-
gin Friday afternoon arrested Frank
7. Scanlon, ex-treasurer of Boise coun-
ty on q complaint sworn to by the
present county treasurer newly ell
ected, of that county, charging him
with the embezzlement of county funds
to the amount of $61s.23, says the
Boise Statesman.
When placed under arrest Mr..
Scanlon asked to be allowed to see his
attorneys, Morrison & Pence, who
agreed to be responsible for his APP
pearance and he was allowed his lib
erty without giving bond.
ScanIon Makes Statement
Mr.. Scanlon was seen by a reporter
for the Statesman yesterday and ex-
planned the charge against him as fol-
lows:
II was treasurer of Boise county two
years, and during that time handled

ey. When I turned over the office to
my successor he carefully went over
and checked my accounts; so did the
commissioners. Not a mistake was
found defy any expert to find mis-
take of one cent in my figures.
"As treasurer of Boise county was
ex-officio public administer, and as
such was given the custody of funds
in the estate of Robert Williams who
died in Centerville.
After the estate had gone through
the probate court and all debts etc.

Keep it out of the paper is the cry which the local newspaper publisher daily hears. To oblige often costs considerable, though the party who makes the request thinks the granting scarcely worth saying "thank you" for. A newspaper is a peculiar thing in the public's eye. The news gatherer is stormed at because he gets hold of one item and is abused because he does not get another. Young men, and often young women. as well as older per sons. perform acts which become legitimate items for publication and then rush to the newspaper office and beg the editor not to notice their escapes. The next day they condemn the same paper for not having punished another party do- ing the same thing they were guilty of. forgetting apparently their late visit to the printing office.

The moderate decline in the gold production of Arizona in 1905 says Chas. D. Walcott director of the Geological survey was due to the temporary suspension of operation on the mines in the Yavapai dis tricts. south of Prescott. An inn portant decrease was also noted from Yuma county. Tn total yield in gold was $2,691. 300. The sil- vers output showed moderate de- cline. Renewed activity at the re- gently unwatered Tombstone mines was offset by decrease in the Ya- vapai districts. The total yield was estimated at 2.605,7O0 ounces, valued at S1. .5S9. ATT.

As people come to appreciate the value of their own time, and the folly of spending it in running on trivial errands they grow to appre- ciate the fact that the installation of telephone, instead of being a drain upon the family resources, is a proper measure of economy. This statement would seem to be supported by the fact that during the year 1906, l700 new telephones were installed, in the United States, every working day of the year. The New York telephone company put in over 100 per day and New York now has more tele- phones in use than London and ten other largest cities of Great Britian

The Grip

"Befoie we can sympathize with others, we must have suffered our selves" No one can realize the suffering attendant upon an attack of the grip, unless he had the ac- tual experience. There is probably no disease that causes so much physical and mental agony, or which so successfully defies medical aid. All danger from the grip. however, may be avoided by the prompt use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Among the tens of thou sands who have used this remedy, not one has ever been reported that has resulted in pneumonia or that has not recovered. For sale by all dealers.

The Water Ways Convention.

Memphis is making big prepare
tions for the Water Ways Convention
to be held there next week and for
the entertainment Of President RooS-
evelt. 1t will be a great time for
Memphis and an ephoc- making period
in the history o. the country. The
digging of the Panama Canal is an
enterprise, the significance OF which
it is impossible to estimate or compre-
bend at the present time. 1t und0ubt-
edly means more to the South and
West than any other section Of the
United States.
The fact that the federal govern
ment seems determined to double les
energies toward making the water
ways of the country more serviceable
as a means Of transporting freight
shows how close our government is to
the heart and interests of it's people
and will no doubt go far towards fur
nishing a solution to the railroad
problem which is agitating the cOun-
try from one end to the other.
The country is to be congratulated
that it has a President who fully COM
prehendS the situation and who is will
ing to undertake to thoroughly ac-
quaint himself with details. Roose-
welt is a patriot and a statesman and
will 60 down in history as that PreSi-
dent who endeavored to embrace ev-
cry opportunity to familiarize himself
with the COuntry's demands and to
exhibit his regard for his people in
