FOREST SERVICE
TO OFFER AID
Which Will Permit Earlier Grazing
Of Sheep in Forests if Dry
Season Necessitates.


Relief from a dry season,
which sheepmen of Idaho think
will be necessary, will be offered
by the forest service.
Sam Ballantyne, secretary
treasurer of the Woolgrowers'
association, has written Forest
er Pinchot with reference to
permitting stock to enter the
reserves sooner than permits
call for and in reply has re-
ceived the following letter:
Mr.. Sam Ballsntyne, Boise,
Idaho: '" ~
Dear Sir-1 regret very much
to learn that there is a possibil-
ity of your having a dry sea-
son and a consequent shortage
of feed the stock ranges OF
Idaho this year and wish to as
sure you that if it becomes nec-
essary, we will offer such relief
on the national forest ranges
as is justified by the circum-
stances.
It is within the authority of
the supervisor to allow stock to
enter Is days in advance of
the regularly established date
whenever the needs of the peo-
pie demand such action and the
condition of the range war
rants it. In case unusual con-
ditions require still greater
concessions the matter will be.
given very careful considera-
tion and such relief given as is
consistent with the protection
of other interests dependent
upon the forest. Very truly
yours.

nent organization, which was
done by selecting W. H. Smith
as chairman, and George P.
Hall as secretary-treasurer.
Then followed an informal dis
cussion of the work that lay
ahead of the committee, princi-
pally concerning the nature
and extent Of the right of the
Great Western Beet Sugar Co.
to the waters of Lime Creek,
and the quantity of water that
conld be obtained from that
source.
On the suggestion O., ]. w.

committee in regard to these
matters, and furnished to the

city of the reserv oirs of the
company's system and the ca
pacity of the connecting tun-
nels and canals.

ed by the committee to be used

JURY EXCUSED
FOR THE TERM
Business Before the District Court
Completed Except Some
Court Cases.

On Thursday morning Judge
Walters excused the regular
panel of jurymen for the term
all cases involving questions Of
fact being disposed of. This
term has been rather a hard
one on the jurymen, as in many
of the cases that were tried the
juries were out the greater
part of the night. On Friday
morning the civil case of Ed,
Breyer VS.. James r. Clark was
called for trial. A jury was
selected and sworn, but at this
point the plaintiff interposed a
motion for Judgment on the
pleadings. The attorney for
the defendant replied with an
other motion, that he be given
leave to file an amended an
sWer. The court denied plain
tif's motion and allowed the de-
fendant until 2::30 o'clock p. m.
to file his amended answer. In
the afternoon, the amended an
swer being on file, the case was
continued for the term by or
der of court, and the jury was
excused. The next case called
was that of Albert J. Ochsner
VS.. the Elmore County Irrigated
Farms, in which there was up
for hearing the petition of the
defendant ]. H. Garrett for an
order to correct the record in
certain prior proceedings. At
ter consideration of the matter,
the Judgment asked for. in the
petition was granted.
On the following morning the
first matter called up was that
of the estate of Columbus
Burge, an insane person. On
hearing and considering the re-
port of Jonas w. Browne, the
guardian of the estate, it was
ordered that the report be ac-
cepted, the property transferred
to the administrator of the es-
tate of Columbus Burge, de-
ceased, and that the guardian
of the estate be discharged.
The property tebe transferred
consists Of cash and securities
amounting in all to $7392.59.
The next case called was that
of the Mountain Home Lumber
Go. VS.. Geo. Doss, which was a
jury matter. A jury was Sc
selected and duly sworn, and the
introduction of testimony was
commenced. C. H. Stewart and
J. M. Owen testified for the
plaintiffs and George Doss and
Claude Clays for the defendant.
After argument by the attor-
neys for the parties, the case
was finally submitted to the
jury, which late that evening
returned with a verdict for the
plaintiff.
Monday and Tuesday were
taken up with the second trial
the case of the State of Idaho
VS.. James R. Clark. A special
venire had been ordered for
this case and out of the men
it was comparative
ly easy for the selection of the
jury to be made, as practically
none of them were familiar
with the case. The trial was
pushed as rapidly as possible,
and on Tuesday the taking of
the testimony was completed,
and that evening the attorney
for the state commenced the
argument tothe jury. At 11:30
the case was submitted to the

jury, and after two hours de-
liberation it was announced
that a verdict had been reached.
The Judge and other officers of
the court were called and the
court called for the verdict.
Frank Vincent, as foreman of
the jury, handed it to the clerk,
who read it, as follows:
"We, the jury empaneled in
the above entitled case, find
the defendant guilty Of an as
sault with adeadly weapon like
ly to produce great bodily in
jury. F. R. VINCENT, Foreman. "
The court thereupon an
nounced that on Saturday, Apr.
Is, at $50 a. M, he would pro-
nounce sentence upon the de-
fendant.
On Wednesday the work of
the court was again taken up,
and the case of w. H. Riden-
baugh ct al VS.. R. S. Sandlin
was called. This was also a
jury matter, and after a selec-
tion of jurors was made, the
plaintiffs put on as witnesses A.
F. Rossi, J. 0. Baker, and w.
H. Ridenbaugh, while the de-
fendant relied solely on his own
testimony. The matter was
turned over to the jury late in
the afternoon, and at 11:30 that
night a verdict was returned in
favor of the defendant, who
was awarded damages to the
amount of $4,000 besides his
costs. On the follnwing day,
there being no more cases for
the jury to consider, all those
who had been summoned on
the regular panel were dis
missed for the term, and the
Court took up a few other mat
ters.
The case of Gust Gunderson
VS.. A. A. Brothen was disposed
of, by stipulation, the costs be-
ing taxed against the defend
ant. In a like manner, the case
of Hogan Gaines VS.. A. A.
Brothen, was disposed of, hav-
ing been settled out of court.
A stipulation was also filed to
dismiss the case of J. w. Cald-
we'll VS.. Henry Crab, the mat
ters in dispute having been ami
cably settled out of court.
Judge Walters. then adjourned
court until $50 o'clock Friday
morning.

STATEMENT BY BRYAN.

The following statement was made
by William J. Bryan when he received
the announcement Of his nomination
as the candidate of the Democratic
party for president:
1.-THE presidency is the highest posi-
ton in the world and no one occupy
Ing 1t can afford to have his views
on public questions biased by per-
sonal ambition. Recognizing his
responsibility to God and his oblisa
ton to his countrymen, he should
enter upon the discharge Of his duties
with stngleness of purpose Believing
that one can best do this when he Is
not planning for a second term L
announce now, that If elected I shall
not be candidate for reelection.
This Is nomination as purely
from the people as can be, and If
elected, my obligations will be as
purely to the people. I appreciate the
honor the more because 1t came not
from one person or a few persons.
but from the rank and file acting
freely and without compulsion."

NEED NOT WORRY. ;:

. An exchange very properly observes
that the editorial writers Of some OF
the great American dailies, always.
unfavorably disposed toward the or
sanized workers, are using up col
umns Of space to show that the rank
and file are dissatisfied with the atti-
tude of Samuel Gompers on the in
junction plank in the Democratic
platform.
How awfully worried they are about
us. They fear" the beginning of the
end of the American Federation of
Labor. But don't let those editorials
cause you the loss of any sleep,
brother trade unionists?
you may gamble If the writer's
thought we were going on the rocks
they wouldn't be hanging out danger
signals. They'd just keep mum and
let us slide to our DOOM
Those papers from necessity draw
their financial support from sources
comprising within their ranks our
strongest opponents and enemies and
cannot be relied upon to set forth
our views, rights, purposes and deeds.
In the first place, but very few Of
the editors, publishers and news
gatherers have any distinct under
standing of our needs, desires,
thoughts nor deeds, and in the second
place, their advertising space. the
source Of profit Of such newspapers
is filled by the interests gnerally hos
tile to all that our movement stands
for.
Union labor has the intelligence to
use its own judgment in such mat
tiers, as it does in directing it's course
in the field Of industry, and it is not
going to be nnisled by the crocodile
tears Of a subsidized partisan press

KNOWS ITS FRIENDS.

Republican leaders have failed to
measure the breadth OF trade union
thought on the question OF politics.
They evidently have not considered
how grossly apathetic has beer, Re-
publican congress to the appeals Of
labor.
They purposely conceal the mean
ingless injunction plank in the plat
form Of their party, knowing that it's
construction was Ct the bidding Of
labor's organized toe the national as
ISOLATION Of manufacturers.
They forget that their candidate for
the highest office within the gift OF
the, American people is best known
to the labor world as the pioneer
abuser OF the power Of the courts in
Injunction procedure.
Union labor has been compelled to
do, some thinking OF late, and it has
the eliigence to know to what party
to look for redress Of it's grievances.
1t has been kept fully informed Of
the attitude Of q Republican congress
and a Republican party convention,
and it Will govern It's action at the
polls next November accordingly.

HOPE FOR THE FUTURE.

With our position SO often empha-
sized and so generally known, it is
nothing less than wilful untruth and
Misrepresentation for any one to de-
clare that it is the purpose Of labor
to obtain any special privilege par
ticularly the undesirable and unenvi-
able liberty Of creating a privileged
class Of wrongdoers."
When the real purposes and high
aspirations Of our movement and the
legislation it seeks at the hands OF
the 1aw-making power Of our country
shall be better understood by ali our
people, and the great uplifting work
which we have already achieved shall
find a better appreciation among
those who now, so unjustly attack
and antagonize us, our opponents will
be remembered for their ignoble work
and course.

RAVAGEs OF TUBERCULOSIS,

stated that the cost to the state
