Bitter Root Reserve.

"A large number of representative stockmen and
farmers of the Salmon and Snake River sections
in the city Saturday in attendance at the meet
ing presided by Major Frank Fenn supervisor
of the Bitter Root Forest Reserve
Mr. Fem delivered very strong address, in
which he outlined the policy of the Forestry De-
partment of the Government, insofar as 1t pertaned
to the allotment of range building of trails etc. and
his explanation proved to the satisfaction of all
present that the Governments intention was give
all the users of the range in the National forests
a square deal" He asked the cooperation of all
to assist IN the adjustment of any difficulty that may
arise IN connection with range matters. With this
object in view, committees will be chosen of the
several districts tributary to the Bitter Root Ma
tonal forest to work in conjunction with the Forest
Service
Mr.. Fem left for his home at Kooskia Sunday ac-
companied by his brother, Walter who will visit
friends in that locaty.-White Bird independent,

Press and Comment
n Successful Miner.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The press dispatches carried the information a
few days ago that Harry L. Day, the manager of
the Hercules Mine, Wallace, in the Occur
dAlenes, was involved in some irregularities con-
nected with the Leonard claim in that camp. Mr.
Day is of the most successful miners in the
West, and has done more than almost any one to
promote honest mining. The Hercules is a great
producer of lead-siver, second only to the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan, in the same camp. Mr.. Day has
kept his mine Independent of the lead trust. His
fight against the Guggenheims, who control the lead
trust has been severe one. The Guggenheims own
the Federal group of mines, so called in the Occur
dAlenes and if they could coerce or in any way
get control of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan and
the Hercules would be complete masters of the lead
output. Mr.. Day has been perpetual block to their
designs and it is not at all improbable that this at
tack on him is inspired by the lead trust.
Day has the cordial support and sympathy of the
best people in all lines of business in the Occur
dAlenes in his efforts to keep this great camp free
from the absolute control of the trust
Mr.. Days statement that "the allegations and pub
locations Connecting him with Irregularities are
false distorted and malicious and will be
so answered at the proper time in court" will be
pleasing to his many admirers throughout the North
west, although not at all surprising. Mr. Day says
Il never had, and have not now, any interest in the
Leonard claim"

InSurin6 Deposits.

On the subject of Government insurance of depos-
it's Comptroller Rdgely wrote: I'm my annual re-
port to Congress in 1902 incorporated an esti-
mate of the average annual rate per of loss to
creditors of insovent National banks based on the
average deposits in active National banking associa-
TONS which was shown to be eightythree one-thou-
sandths of one per cent"
In other words, tax at that rate (83 cents per
$1,000 on the average deposits of active National
banking associations would have been sufficient to
make good the losses sustained by creditors of in
solvent banks.
With the National banks thus providing absolute
protection to depostors, all other banking efforts
would soon become equally secure or retired from
BUSINESS as matter of course. Canada has prac-
1cally such law, and losses to depositors from
tailed banks there, in forty years, have been next

The present panic or stringency has called atten-
ton SO sharply to the inadequate protection of de-
pos1tors that financial legislation will be salts
factory which does not insure the safety of de-
posts.
