THE BRAINY
STATESMAN

Elsewhere in this issue of The
Tribune appears a communication
from DR.. A. s. Belts to the Boise
Statesman. In a short Introductory
to DR.. Belts letter we stated that
we thought it unnecessary to give
the Statesman's reply. However, af-
ter thinking the matter over, we de-
cided that many of our readers might
thing the Tribune unfair or afraid
to give both sides Of the argument.
Below will be found the Statesman's
reply in full. 1t follows:
In his reply to the Statesman, H.
S, Belts should have started with
the statement that he brings in just
before the red blood" spurts in his
letter, which was to the following
effect:
The forest reserve policy had its
origin in Europe and that Is where
1t belongs" The theory that this
world of ours Is round also had its
origin in Europe and possibly we
d
over te sea which have stood the test
of time, yet this is no conclusive ar
gument that they should have been
kept there.
In fact, it Is past belief that an in
tellgent man in this day could make
such a statement as that, with the
absolutely certain fact staring us in
the face that the timber supply at the
present rate of consumption will be
exhausted in from 20 to 80 years.
The Statesman had supposed that
agreed that the theory of the forest
reserve was a correct one and that
| the regulations or management of
the national forests was the only
point where there was difference of
opinion. 1t is apparently useless to
waste time over details of the man
agement of the national forests If
| the point at issue Is whether they
should exist or not.
Now isn't that deep and thoro dis
cussion of the subject? The only
point, in justification attempted by
the Statesman, is that the theory
that the earth is round originated in
Europe. We might suggest that II
took Europe nearly 1900 years after
the birth of Christ to originate that
idea. The idea that kings were he'd.
ged by a divinity smacks strongly
of Europe. If the Statesman had
attempted to defend the divinity Of
kings it would have gotten closer tc
the subject. The present forest re
serve policy belongs to king and
priest-ridden Europe.

Good INVESTMENT SAYS MERCHANTS

Some time ago, it will be remem-
bered, that there was mass meet
ing to discuss ways and means for
raising $4,000 for the College of
Idaho; a committee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions and turned loose
on poor, little, helpless Caldwell.
Did they solicit? They did! Did
they get the stuff? They did! They
went through the city armed with
naught but kind words and persua-
sive arguments, but the result was
as effective as AS in Pullman car
hold-up. Over Twenty-Five Thousand

1900 people to put up over 1922 900,

scented as to the value of the college

EIGHTY ACRES
MAKES A RANCH

Pres. J. H. Lowell of the Water
Users Association, says that a great
deal of interest appears to be taken
in the proposals for digging the lat
erals. A great many blank forms for
the bids have been applied for and
it is expected that an almost equally
great number of bids will be received.
These bids or proposals will be
received until 2:00 p. m. February
18th, at which time there will be the
monthly meeting of the Water Users
Association.
Word has been received from
Washington that the Director of the
Reclamation Service has received the
report of the special commission that
was sent out here to determine the
size of the farm unit. This commit
tee consisted of Judge Surtliff of Og-
den, Utah and Walter w. Grange OF
North Yakima, Washington, and
their report was in favor of the 80
acre unit While this report will
have to be formally presented to the
Secretary of the Interior and accept
ed by him, yet the matter Is practical
ly decided upon.
AS it is supposed that this will
settle all doubts that may exist IL
the minds of some of the association
regarding the chances of it being
reduced from an 80 to a 40-acre unit
the directors of the association hop'
that 1t will be a renewal of interes
in the cooperative work, as no posi-
bility exists of being reduced to {
forty acre unit.

FIRE HORROR

Caldwell, Idaho, Feb. 6, 100

Caldwell, Idaho, Feb. 6, 1908.
Editor The Tribune:
Dear Sir:-A couple of issues back
you called the attention of your
readers to the dangerous condition
of the opera house and the certain
loss of life in case of fire or panic
in that building. Since that time the
News has published an editorial on
the same lines, but including the
list of unsafe meeting places in
other public assembly halls in town.
1t Is unQuestionably true that the
danger in the opera house is an ever
present menace. The council has held
meeting since their attention was
called to the matter, talked IL over
and their deliberations resulted in
nothing.
These men, the council, are placed
in their high positions to further
| the interests of their constituents and
to safeguard the lives and property
of the citizens whose servants they
are. Do they need more urging to dc
their duty? In this case the obliga
ton is plain and If thru their neg
ligence or inaction there should bs
loss of life, their responsibility would
be equally plain. The opera house

Sales Day, which occurred last
Monday was a greater success than
anyone anticipated. For an experi-
ment. about which no one had any
actual knowledge, It was a wonderful
success. Hundreds Of people came
to town and as a consequence every
merchant enjoyed remarkably
good business. Mr.. Gowen states
that he sold goods TO people coming
from the City of Boise. Mr., Cakes
says that he sold goods to people
whom he had never seen before, be-
sides doing good business with people
who seldom come to Caldwell to dc
business. Mr.. Rockwell told th'
same story and expressed himself al
we'll satisfied. Mr.. Haines also die
well satisfied. Mr.. Harris also hat
a good word to say. These reports
were made at the last meeting o
the Commercial Club. All the othe
merchants in town are we'll pleased
At the auction sales were made Il
the amount, of nearly 10000. Mr.
Dorman was placed in charge of tn

He outlined a plan, which was i'm

Sailing down
their MONEY

About three years ago number
of the members Of the Idaho Wool
Growers Association purchased for
100000 81 per cent of the stock
of a salt plant located ON Great Salt
Lake, Utah. Today the interests of
the wool growers in that plant can
be sold at from $75,000.00 to $780,
10000 so we are reliably informed.
At the time of the purchase salt was
costing sheepmen. cattlemen, miners
and farmers from $1,000 to $500
per ton, because the Salt trust had q
absolute monopoly. Today the same
salt sells for from $1,000 to $1,000
per ton, giving the consumer a saving
of at least $500 per ton. The sheep
men estimate that they have made a
saving of at least 100000 In salt
alone during the past three years.
The cattlemen, miners and sheepmen
have probably saved an equal
amount. During the recent meeting
of the Wool Growers the salt ques-
ton came up and promised to cause
trouble. However, this was happily
averted, and the whole thing will be
thoroly investigated. Upon receipt
of a report of this committee The
Tribune will inform its readers OF
the exact status of affairs. This is
a matter that effects every sheepman,
cattleman, horseman, farmer and mi
ne- IL Idaho. A more detailed dis.
cussion of the subject may be found

to the town, but there Is none bet
ter than the fact that the people of
the town already think it worth over
$4,000 to them. If your friends
and nieghbors think 1t good bus. ness
to put up that much money merely
as an investment, and you have not
yet contributed, get in on that last
$4,000. Charity is splendid thing,
but it is doubtful If simple charity
could wiring $4,000 out of the
hardheaded business men of this
city. They know, however. that as
a cold calculating business PROPOSE
ton, the college is a good investment
Every dollar given to the college has
been figured to mean three dollar
at the least that will be spent in

Is not a bad investment. Try it.

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY
THR0TTLED BY RESERVES
Strong Reply Made to the Boise Statesman
The SUBJECT DISCUSSED In CLEAN and CONCISE MANNER.
NO ROOM FOR ARGUMENT. BOISE SHEEPMAN PUTS
QUIETUS ON FOREST RESERVE OFFICIALS.

The following is an open letter ad-
dressed by DR.. H. s. Belts to the
Boise Statesman and published Sun
day In that paper. The Statesman
had a reply the following day but
as it had no bearing on the question
discussed by DR.. Belts we do not
deem the publication of the reply
necessary. DR.. Belts discusses the
forest reserve policy In a clear, force
full manner. His communication is
self-explanatory:
Editor of The Statesman-In your
paper of January 81 you ask the ex-
ecutive committee of the Idaho Wool
Growers association to explain the
apparent discrepancy in the number
of sheep assessed in Idaho and the
number given by the forestry depart
ment.

can say that it Is no part of their
duty to keep a record of the number
of the sheep in Idaho. Personally I
believe that I can account for a part,
If not all of this discrepancy by the
fact tina hardly any of the permit
holders of grazing privileges ever
put in the number of stock they pay
for. This can be accounted for by
the fact that while they have the
number of stock they apply for at
the date of application, there is usu-
lily quite a loss between that date
and the date of entering the reserve.
l have known of some seasons where
this loss has amounted to is to 20
per cent and they must pay for the
number their permit calls for or be
cut down the following season. I'm

The above Is taken from the Cald-

that he and his wife could not agree
and consequently separated without
divorce. Mr.. Lauderback divided

Hints For Care OF Teeth.

Fruits and vegetables with
acids are apt to lrrltate the gums
and the amoUnt of cold drinks
taken is likely to make the teeth
sensitive.
There Is a growing tendency
to clean the teeth with a very
soft cheesecloth instead of a
brush. It's quite true that this
rs excellent for sensitive teeth.
Ice water should never be used
for cleansing the teeth. 1t is
worse than hot water. Luke
warm Is the right temperature.
An old-fashioned way of cleans,
ing and Frightening the teeth is
to rub them with a leaf of green
sage, which has a very helpful
effect. 1t is said by those who
use 1T TO eitectually prevent the
formation of tartar.
If one Is out of the reach of the
dentIst when a filing falls out II
IS wise to take piece of rubber
make it spongy by heat and press
it into the cavity.
If1t is convenient 1t is always
good to use half tum bier o.
warm water to rinse the entire
mouth after eating.
For receding gums a druggist
will put up safe and sounc
liquid made of orrls root in hnc-
ture, lavender water, cinnamon
in tlncture, clnchona bark, alsc
in liquid form, and cologne.
