big the plan Of the National Wool
Growers association, and the Chica-

The resolutions condemning the

y the association after a careful de-
Iteration of the matter In all OF its
hases. Under the regulations OF the
Orest reserve bureau the owners Of
hrge bands Of cattle, horses and
|heep must pay a certain amount
er head for the privilege of grazing
hem upon the forest reserve lands,
nd besides these there are a num-
er of other restrictions that the
heep men pronounce as burden
pine, and over severe. The
heep men of the southern
ortion of the state have
zen their ranges greatly dim
nished by reason of these restric-
ions, and have SUFFERED as a conse-
uenee greatly. They do not odvacate

egard as unusually severe, and are

Occur d'Alene Is an ideal location
for an institution Of this character.
and its location will mean a pay roll
to the city from between 1000 to
1900 men. Mr.. Pride informs me
that he has decided to locate the
pulp mill at or near st. Joe. His
reason for selecting this place as its
location, he informs me, was be-
cause he can secure the power and
timber at that place at a less ex-
pense than anywhere else. There
are four power sites, 1t seems, along
the s. Joe river, and he has secured
three of them, and it Is estimated
that he can secure from them 5000
horse power, and that the cost win
be very reasonable, far more 80 than
were the location Of the pulp mill to
be made here or at Spokane. He In
formed me that q paper mill could
be located anywhere so long as there
was sufficient railroad facilities, and
other conditions were congenial to
the employees. and / called his aten-
ton to Occur d'Alene in this respect.
and also his attention to the many
other advantages 1t possessed. /
called his attention to the fact that
an ideal site could be secured here,
and that the transportation Of the
pulp across the lake would be more
convenient and less expensive than
to transport by rail to Spokane. and
/ also called his attention to the
fact that he could secuer the neees-
sary power from the Washington
Water Power company through Its
transmitter In this city, and that
though the Consumers Co. had the ex
elusive sale OF power for this terri
tory, that Il would willingly waive
this right, ana permit him to deal
with the company direct should he
decide TO locate a mill In the city.
