ToMnsite at Jarbidee.

Afer going to Jarbidge as ordered
by the forestry department, to de-
termine the boundary lines for the
townsite, Foresters Hoyt and Wheel
er. attached to the Fourth district
forestry headquarters at Ogden, have
returned after spending several days
on the work. They met with the
property owners, including business
men, those having squatter's rights
and those owning mining property.
A majority of them expressed them
selves as favoring the elimination of
the land embraced by the townsite
from the forest reserve; then the
preparing of plats and disposing of
the property for building lots to the
highest bidders. This probably will
not include those holding valid
squatters claims. The plan appears
to be to allow this class to buy in
their lots at a minimum figure and
sell the other lots to the highest bid
ders.
From the Investigations made the
forestry men will recommend that
the district they surveyed be elimina-
ted from the forestry reserve, and
the lands opened to homesteaders.
There seems to be little doubt that
the mining claims held in the Jar
bidge district will be declared void,
that the land may be subject to en-
try under the townsite law.

Immediately the chivalric crowd
began to dig into several and sundry
satchels. and finally one of them pro-
duced a bottle of fine Old bond and
handed IL to the excited caller.
The latter uncorked the flask,
smelled of its contents, and then
raised it to his lips and gurgled down
a big section.

his lips, lit always did upset me to

To save a nickel or two,

But you who worry and puzzle out
Each item of daily life
Who work and fret in the fear of

Along with your faithful wife.

And though I'm hardly the soul of
