means that the first ditch in the fght
now in progress has been won.
The department Of agriculture, OF
which the forest service is on impor-
tant, and of late rather a sensational,
part, has proven an insurmountable
barrier to the success of various states
id their efforts to regain these lands
in the past.
During the special session of the
61st congress Hamer introduced house
bill No. 10, 5s4, authorizing states and
territories to select lands in lieu of
lands included within forest reserves.
Although that session was confined to
consideration of the tariff, he pre-
sented his measure then in order that it
might secure a preference upon the
calendar Of the present session. 1t was
referred to the committee on public
lands, of which he is now a member,
and serious attention has been directed
by that body to it within the last two
weeks.
The Idaho representative called up
on Secretary Wilson yesterday to
present the case of the state and pre-
vent, if possible, an unfavorable re-
commentator by that official. Such
legislation has been vigorously OPP
posed by the department of agriculture
in former years, but after conference
lasting for over two hours, Hamer
ELECTED the desired agreement.
"If called upon for a recommends
tion in connection with your bill, |
will make none for or against it, - he
definitely stated just before the Idaho
member left his office
Hamer at once reported the outcome
of his consultation to the committee on
public lands, and Chairman Mondell
transmitted a request to
the secretary for report upon the
measure in order that formality might |
be expedited.
The proposed enactment, if passed,
will give Idaho those school sections
which were granted to the state upon
admission into the Union. At that
lime they were unsurveyed, and,
the state made application for
heir survey, before this could be done,
hey were withdrawn and placed within
forest reserves. The right remained
% select other lande in lieu of them,
,ut such alternate lands do not even
approach in value those of which the
state has been deprived. The number
If millions of dollars which will be re-
stored to Idaho. if the measure sue
'eeds in passing, of course can only be
'pproximated at the present time
However, the very minimum won Id
mean an untold enrichment.
Hamer's bill is as follows: Be it
'nacted by the senate and house of
of the United States.
That in lieu of sections Is and SO of the
'ublic domain, which have been granted
o states or territories for educational
and which may be included
within forest reserves, whenever public
ands available for lieu selections shall
ot represent cost value equal to the
minimum price at which lands so
.ranted shall be sold according to the
'rovis;ons of the law authorizing the
rant, then and thereupou the several
tates and territories shall be author
zed to make lieu sections from forest
provided. however, that no
tate or territory shall select lands not
ocated within its own domain.
The Idaho members act has proven
n inspiration to other western mem
ers and Hawley of Oregon has. within
he last day or two. presented similar
ieasure for his state.

air. sven the drawing of h a great
-cloud-curtain across the earth, failed
to give back to Cayley that mood of
serene happiness which he had enjoyed
an hour before. He tried hard to re-
cover it, and his failure to do so irri-
tated him. In vain he asked himself
what those little figures on the ice
could mean TO him or he to them. In
vain he told himself that the thing he
had seen was nothing but a picture-a
puppet show.
He began wheeling a great spiral in
the upper air, higher and higher, until
the intensity of the cold and the drum
ming of the blood in his temples
warned him to descend again.
But high or low. some invisible mag
net held him over the spot where
ne had witnessed that unexplained
tragedy; an intense curiosity that
would not let him go until he had, in
some way, accounted for the iyins
fate that SO silently had overtaken the
leather-clad man down there on the
ice.
Five years before Philip Cayley
would have passed for a good example
of that type of c~lean-limbed. clean
minded, likable young man which the
best of our civilization seems to be
Towering into. Physically. it would
have been hard to suggest an improve

the ideal standards. He vas fine
grained, supple, slender, small-jointed,
thoroughbred from head to heel.
Intellectually, he had been good
enough to go through the academy at
West point with credit and to graduate
high enough in his class to be assigned
to service in the cavalry. His stand
ards of conduct, his ideas of n and
morality had been about the same as
those of the best third of his class
mates. If his fellow officers in the
Philippines during the year or two he
had spent in the service had been
asked to pick a flaw in him, which they
would have been reluctant to do, they
would have said that he seemed to
them a bit too thin-skinned and rather
fastidious; thai was what his chum
and only intimate friend, Perry Hun
ter. said about him. at any rate.
But he could afford to be fastidious,

But for all practical purposes Cayley
