Settlers Of NaPble Creek Count
~ to Settle Differences

According 10 the statement made
by Earl Sanders, who recently re-
turned with his family from Boise 10
the city. and intends hereafter to
make II his home. the commission
appointed to examine into the status
of the timber lands In the Marble
Greek country which were settled
upon by homesteaders but which are
now claimed by the state, win vislt
the city In July, and proceed 70 the
territory where the lands are located.
and make an examination OF them.
In speaking OF the subject Mr.. SAN
ders said: II believe the greater por-
tion OF these homesteaders are enti-
tied to these lands, and l believe that
the state would lose nothing by re-
linQulshing In their favor. and be-
lleye that an adjustment OF this mat
ter will be made In their favor, and
while am on this subject | want 10
say a word or two In behalf OF A, j.
showalter, who led the fight for the
settlers. A great deal has been said
concerning Mr.. showalter IN this
tight. but after all Is said and done.
Il Is 70 him that the credit
belongs for the work done 40 far In
behalf OF the settlers In their battle
for the lands. 1t was ne who secured
plank In the platforms Of all the
parties promising an Investigation
and relief to all the settlers deserving
Of It. and II was he who secured the
appointment OF the commission who
will make an examination Of the
lands, and afterwards make liz re-
ports and findings with relation TO
them. know this 70 be true be-
cause many OF the settlers were my
friends, and my sympathlos naturally
we're with their cause, and therefore
watched this matter closely. In my
opinion he made 4 grand fight and
has won. and those who were not on
the ground and acquainted with the
odds with which ne had TO contend
do not realize the fight he made nor
do I think the settlers themselves re-
aliEe how much they are indebted 10
him for his work in their behalf.
Jealousy Cause Of Attack.
Il am aware" said Mr.. Sanders,
that many uncomplimentary things
have been said concerning Mr.. Show
alter In the papers and otherwise In
his fight. but then that Is always TO
be expected--those matters always
crop out where a man is making q
hard fight for any cause and wins.
There are always those Who are jeal-
GUS OF a mans success no matter IN
what line II may be. and this IL true
in the case Of Mr.. Showaiter. Had he
failed then all the responsibility and
blame would have rested on his
shoulders.
State Can Relinqulah without Loss.

where the reiInqnishment Of these
