The New Club Rooms.

The new furniture of the Commercial
Club has been moved into the new
quarters just secured on the second floor
of the Moe building. There are six
nice, convenient rooms provided with
steam, gas, bath and lavitory and there
should be sufficient incentive for gener-

are what have been needed ever since
the organization began and will make a
cozy home and promote the social spirit

MORE LAND FOR SETTLERS

The examination Of National
Forest boundaries carried on by
the forest officers last summer and
fall upon the initiative of Secre-
tary Wilson and under his direc-
ton. has resulted in new informa-
ton. which will make it possible
TO restore TO the unreserved public
domain much land along the edges
of and within forests that is not
best suited for forest purposes.
The lands included in this elimina-
tion from national forests, it is
estimated by Forest ST pervisor,
Mains, will amount to 1850 acres
in the Payette forest. and will bel
open to entry by settlers. The|
lands to be eliminated are those
which are not either wholly or in|
part covered with timber or under
growth, upon which II is expected
to grow trees.
On the whole the changes which
are found to be called for are o.
relatively minor importance, but
IN their aggregate they open to-
settlement large amount OF land.
The application OF the rules which,
the president has approved will
mean the earlv res toration to the
