ENDRICk IDAHO

A few days ago we received letter
from Joe Long who is located at Pasco,
Wash regarding the improved ap.
pearance Of the Gazette and his in
terest in this section of the Potlatch.
Among other things. he says: There
is scarcely a 40-a acre tract in that
country which would not maintain a
family and do it easily. In fact, a
man who would care for 40 acres Of
Potlatch land as it should be cared
tor, could gain competency. Never
before IN the history OF the United
States have people been so anxious to
secure small tracts of land as at the
present time. People are paying from
$3.50 to $500 an acre for irrigated
tracts. There is no doubt but that
under intensified methods, a 4O-acre
tract III the Pctlatch country could be
made just as valuable as a lO-acre
tract IN an irrigated belt" We are
pleased to hear from Joe and thank
him for his interest in this paper and
this section of the Potlatch.

WOULD CUT OUT SALOONS
oumsbes Bill II Passed viii Raise Havoc
With Liquor Dealers.

Attention is just now focused upon
the coming liquor Legislation that Is to
come up in the state legislature very
soon. Two parties are In evidence in
this liquor traffic legislation. the anti
saloon league and the Liquor Dealers
Association. The latter organization
has shown its hand first in what is
known as the Ofmsbee bill. introduced
last week. The most important feature
OF the said bill is that which provides
the ratio Of one saloon 10 every 500 in
nabitants. According to its provisions
as soon as the existing licenses expire
no new ones shall be issued until the
population has increased TO that ratio.
In order 10 have information at hand
Auditor General Fuller had table
compiled showing the number OF sal
oons in the different counties and the
ratio to population. Only ten counties
are given aud they are rs follows

Government SCORES
NEGLIGENT OFFICERS
SAYS THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE
FOR LAST FALLS FIRES
WOULD MAKE COUNTY LIABLE
For Damage From Forest Fires as mean,
Of Making Local Officials More
Careful.

The United States forest service has
recently issued an extended report on
the forest state lands and fire problems
of the state OF Michigan, based on
the investigations made by Wesley
Bradley and Athol wynne last. fall at
whicn time the latter spent several
days in and about this city. and in
other parts Of the upper peninsula as
well. The report recommends radical
changes in the forest laws OF the state.
and it's officers and laws are aonndly
berated for the tremenduous loss en-
tailed by the forest fires Of last sum
mer, which, the report implies, were
to great extent preventable.
Striking recommendation for chang.
ing Michigan FIRE laws are based by
the forest service upon the tremendous
damage which was done by the fires of
last year That damage for (which
precise figures Of more than $9s. 600. 900
are given by the forest experts. was
very largely due. according to the re-
port, to defective laws and their more
defective administration. The experts
also reflect somewhat upon the legisla-
ture. for they take the ground.that sp-
preparations for fighting forest fires
were insufficient Some Of the more
striking portions OF the arraignment OF
conditions in Michigan, as contained
In the report OF the agents OF the forest
service follow
Sufficient precautions were not
taken to control the situation in the
earlier part of the season. and the de-
putty wardens did not exercise their
full control over the township fire war
dens. A large number Of township
hire wardens reported that they did not
see or receive instructions from any of
the state officers during the entire sea
son. Thus while special credit should
be given in individual cases. the man
agement OF the situation by the deputy
wardens was not effective.

Isle Royale Purchased.

The IT, S. Steel corporation has pur-
chased Isle Royal, in Lake Superior.
the largest fresh water island in the
world. The Steel company has been
figuring on this deal for long time
and had the isiand looked over last
year. Gordon Murray OF Norway, hav-
ing had charge Of the work
The timber holdings were what the
Steel corporation was most interested
in but the mineral possibilities were
not lost sight of in the deal
Numerous outcroppings of copper are
in evidence but nothing OF any great
value has ever Teen found.
The island was owned by an English
syndicate with headquarters IN London.
The island owes its Identity as n
part of the United States to Benjamin
franklin. who evidently knew OF its
rumored wealth In copper, probably
through the account published in Paris
in l040 by Pierre Boucher. As one Of
the boundary committee after the Rev.
olutlon he insisted that Isle Royale be
included in the territory ceded 70 the
United States by England. From the
earliest times of copper development
in the present Michigan copper region
interest was centered In Isle Royle.

Complaint Sworn to by City Marshal
Aeschliman.

The sly wink that was manifest on
many occasions when Mayor Webb s
order 10 clap on the lid first came out
has disappeared entirely. In its place
has come an expression OF surprise
IL was thought that the Mayor was
only fooling when he made his announ-
cement but it has been learned that he
never was more serious In his life.
The lid is on and more than that the
police force is sitting on It, Anyone
attempting TO tilt it is very liable to
get mis- beak pinched.
Paul Schook was arrested last Mon
day morning on complaint made and
sworn 10 by City Mnshal Aeschliman
in which it is alleged that Mr. Schook
violated the liquor law in that he had
his place of business open at some time
during the day last Sunday.
MIR. Schook was arraigned before
Justice Morrison and pleaded not
guilty, claiming that he didn't have
his saloon open at all during the day
This question of enforcing the liquor
law is getting TO be more noticeable as
the Sundays 90 by and people see that
the city officers really mean business

SUBSCRIPTION $500 PER YEAR

The supervisors and other township
lire wareus were not as rule efficient
Some individual supervisors did .all
they could to protect life and property
to the extent which the funds at their
disposal would permit. More OF the
supervisors. however. either were to-
tally ignorant Of their duties under the
law. or completely ignored them. 1T
Is known that over half of the super
visors did absolutely nothing with the
fires burning in their townships, and.
In n number OF cases. supervisors re-
fused 10 assist in fighting fires when

Some even refused to give adequate
support TO the state deputies One sup
ervisor allowed the men fighting hre
TO work as they pleased and spent over
$500 ON a job which was finally taken
in charge by state deputy. who ex-
tinguished the fire at cost of $40
In the prevention OF fires the sup
eryisors were even more lax. Very
few did anything more 10 enforce the
law or TO educate the people in their
townships than TO post few notices
which attracted very little attention.
Their greatest negligence, however.
was in entirely ignoring the small fires
smoldering in the swamps or burning
in cutovor lands in thei- townships
from july to October
These fires which could easily have
been controlled at slight expense il
taken in time were as a result OF this
negligence, the direct cause OF the loss
of forty seven lives and millions of
dollars worth of property. II required
only this negligence, continued dryness
and high wilma 10 convert these
smoldering fires into the immense un-
controlled fire which swept across hun
dreds of miles in a few hours. Some
supervisors offered as an excuse for
their negligence that they didn't have
time to fight the Ere.
Many supervisors were ignorant OF
the proper methods Of lighting fire In
several counties the boards OF super
visors were in session at the time OF
the greatest fires. A state deputy was
present az one Of these meetings giving
them careful instruction as 20 their
duties as fire wardens under the law.
The fire situation had reached a climax
and-the boards Immediately adjourned
in order that the supervisors might
return home and take charge of their
