Congressman French has intro
duced a bill authorizing the sew
eral States and Territories whose
lands have been included in forest
reserves to make lieu selections
for lands in the reserves.
Idaho has about one million
acres OF public school land in for
est reserves. Under the terms of
the grant these lands cannot be
sold by Idaho for less than ten
dollars per acre, and should pro-
duce for the school funds of the
State not less than ten millions
OF dollars. Under the terms of
this bill the State would be au-
thorized to make lieu selections
in forest reserves,in lieu Of school
lands that have been included
within forest reserves.
Mr.. French's idea is to have the
school lands so contiguous that
the State could sell them ulti-
mately and obtain for the public
schools the moneys which right
fully belong to them.
Following is a copy OF Mr.
French's bill, which has been re-
ferred to the Committee on Public
Lands and ordered printed;

Gliding in favor OF the state OF
Idaho the contests involving
about 10, 600 acres ofland in the
northern portion of the state.
The lands in question were claim
ed adversely to the state by the
Northern Pacific railroad com

who were working to secure title
to the land on account Of the
timber. The track includes some
of the most valuable timber lands
of the state, estimated to be
worth between 100000 and
100000. Quarter sections Of
timber lands in that part of Ida

Early Days in American Falls
How Gilmore's Band Played for
Publication of Cowboys.

An amusing occurrence took place
at American Fallsin the early days,
which was heralded over the coun-
try and made the subject of lurid
pictures in the Police Gazette. The
first train was being run over the
completed Oregon Short Line, and
an invited company Of distinguish
ed people, with Gilmore's famous
band. were the guests of the railway
officials. Stops were made at diff
ferent points of Importance, the
band would render choice selections,
speeches would be made by repre-
sentative citizens of the town and
fluctuations exchanged.
The Scimitar scrap-books have
many clippings of the episode which
occurred, and they run as follows:
American Falls had been left out
of the stopping place. Large herds
of cattle ranged in this vicinity, and
it was the days of the typical "cow-
boy" long since passed away.
When the train Of gaily decorated
Pullman cars was prepared to rush
through the Falls at rapid speed
the engineer saw distractions on
the track and a crowd Of men wav-
ing red flags, coats and other signs
to stop. When the train slowed
down at the station, there was a
discharge Of firearms. and demand
for music. After brief consulta-
lion the band emerged from the
cars and took their places on the
platform of the station. While
they were adjusting their music
stands the cowboys" threw bottles
in the air above their heads and
shot at them. The band played
beautifully and earnestly and ex.
hausted their repertoire. When The
cowboys were satisfied Sam Nc
Gatlin, the most famous of all the
early day cattle foreman, and al
ways a gentleman stepped forward
and said: "In behalf of the boys
desire to thank you for this splen
did treat. 1t has been a long tim,
since we have heard real banC
music, and we couldn't afford t.

MA CAN'T VOTE.

Mas graduate Of college, and she reads
most everything;
She can talk in French and German, she
can paint and she can sing
Beautiful? She's like pictured When
she talks she makes you think
OF the sweetest kind Of music, and she
doesn't smoke or drink;
Oh, can't begin to tell you all the poems
she can quote:
She knows more than half the lawyers do
but ma can't vote.
When my pa is writing letters, ma must
always linger near
To assist him in his spelling and to make
the meaning clear,
If he needs advice her judgment, he adj
mits, is always best;
Every day she gives him pointers, mostly
at his own request;
She keeps track Of the legislation, and is
taxed on bonds and stocks
But she never gets a look-in at the sacred
ballot box.
Ma is wiser than our coachman, for he's
not graduate,
And doubt if he could tell you who is
governing the state;
He has never studied grammar, and I'll
bet he doesn't know
Whether Caeser lived thousand or two
thousand years ago.
He could never tell US how to keep the
ship Of state aaoat,
For he doesn't know there's such thing
but ma can't vote.
Once when Mr.. Jones was calling they got
up short debate
That was on the tariff question; he sup
posed he had it straight,
But before they'd finished talking he
threw up his hands and said
That he'd not read much about it, nor
remembered what he'd read
He is too badly rushed to study how to
better human lives,
Still he looms up like a giant when cleo
ton time arrives.
Mrs. Gookins does our washing, for she
has to help along,
Taking care of her six children, though
her husbands big and strong;
When he gets a job he only holds it till
he draws his pay,
Then he spends his cash for whiskey OF
else CANDLES it away;
l suppose his brain no bigger than the
brain Of any goat,
And he'd trade his ballot for drink
but ma can't vote. Elk.

THE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA.

The Salt Lake Symphony Orchestra
season will begin on Sunday afternoon,
at the new Colonial Theater, at i
O'Clock. This organization is now in
its Fifth season. The concert of Sun
day afternoon at O'Clock, at the
Colonial Theater, will be its twelfth
public programme.
Mr.. Mcclellan, who succeeds Mr..
Shepherd as director. has enlarged the
orchestra to nearly siXty-hve members,
and the orchestra now includes singers
from Ogden and Provo. The Symphony
Orchestra music is different from other
kinds, and, because it does not, as a
rule, appeal to the masses, the giving
Of these concerts results in every city
in financial loss. The Salt Lake SYM
phony is supported by donations large
ly, the receipts having only once or
twice III its history paid the expenses
Of giving the concerts. The patrons
who subscribe money for the launching
of the orchestra are no more largely
to be credited with the fine results at
tanned than are the musicians them
selves, who have, with inadequate pay
because of limited funds, Loyalty sup
ported the orchestra from the start.
The reserve fund is small, and the
financial difficulties of maintaining the
organization enforces the most rigorous
economy and management. 1t is urged
that IL twenty-five per cent of the So
called musical fraternity of Salt Lake
so much hoasted OF, would patronize
the three or four concerts Of the year,
all the financial problems would be
solved.
Mr.. John Cort generously gives the
new Colonial for these events at nom.
inal rental, realizing the value of Sym
phony Orchestra music as an educa.
tioral factor in our community. This
first concert of the season should be
given a hearty welcome, and no doubt
Will be generously supported by the
music-loving people of Salt Lake.

JUDICIAL DISTRICT ELECTIONS.

1t is curious TO see tho close runs
made in some OF the judicial districts,
We print this morning the official vote
in all the judicial districts but the
Third, which is not yet complete,
1t appears from this that Mr.. Frank
K. Nchckcr, Democrat, made an exceed
ingly close run with an uncomfortably
close margin, though the Republican
Judge was elected by a majority OF
over 1900. Either Mr., Nebeker is a
very popular gentleman, or else his
competitor is tremendously unpopular.
This was in the First Judicial district,
comprising Box Elder, Cache, and Rich
counties.
In the Fifth district, the Ropubli-
can candidate for Judge is beaten by
over 400 votes, while the Republican
candidate or District Attorney wins by
upwards Of 700 votes. The reason for
this would no doubt be an interesting
story OF church manipulation.
In the Sixth district, it is evident
that political treachery was at work.
Judge Chidester, Republican candidate,
has served with dignity and indepen~
dence on that bench; and it was nat
urally to be supposed that he would be
reelected almost without opposition,
as that is a strong Republican district,
as is seen in the returns on the general
ticket. The Republican candidate for
District Attorney had well above 700
majority, Yet Judge Chidester won by
a pitiful 90 majority. Party treachery
no doubt combined with church manipu-
lation to effect this result. II will be
remembered that Mr.. Hayes, who was
Judge Chidester's competitor, was the
church officials alder and abetter in
the notorious Birdsall case, where the
church officials, including the First
Presidency, undertook to compel Cora
Birdsall TO make a land transfer she
did not want TO do, and which church
usurpation Of authority was severely
condemned by the Utah Supreme Court.
IL looks as though the church may have
attempted to punish Chidestcr and re-
ward Hayes.
In the Seventh district Mr., Christen
sen. Republican, beat Mr.. Erickson,
Democrat and present insumbent, by
some 200 votes, thus making the Dis
trict Judgcships in this State all Re
publican but one-the Fifth. Mr.. Ere.
mont Wood, Republican, had no COM
pctitor for the District Attorneyship
in tho Seventh district
In no place except in the local field
of Salt Lake county was the dominat-
ing hand Of the church magnates so
plainly and so significantly seen as in
the Judicial district elections in Utah
this year.
