FOR DIRECT ELECTION OF
UNITED STATES SENATOR
House Passed Resolution Observation-Disclosures to
Enlarge Supreme Court of State
Being Considered

regulate shipments into those
states.
Conner insisted that he had no
seen a copy of the bill, and that
he did not care to consider it or
vote upon it until after he learn
ed the nature of its contents. Sew
eral of the members complained
by saying that they had seen
neither a copy of the resolution
or the bill it proposed to advo-
cate. After some discussion in
which a number of the members
joined, Conner consented to with
draw his motion to refer the reso-
luton to the irrigation committee
in order that another committee
might take the matter in charge.
Finke, however, refused to with
draw his second to the motion,
and roll call vote showed tho
motion lost by a vote of 8 to 46.
Johnston of Bingham moved
that the resolution be referred to
the committee on federal relations
and memorials to congress. This
motion carried and the committee
will report upon the bill in the
near future.

TO OPEN
IDAHO LANDS
Can be Homesteaded After
Timber is Sold---3 Other
States Affectd.

Telegraphic dispatches stAte that
the sales of timber which are Ne
ing contemplated in the district
which includes Montana, northern
Idaho and a little of North and
South Dakota, according to the
United States forest service, bids
on which will be opened the first
of April, will open large tracts of
land to homesteaders, if the sales
are consumated.
The report of the forester for
1912 says: "The statement has
been frequently made by oppon-
ents of national forestry that set
tiers are leaving the country for
Canada because the national for
ests are practically closed to set
tlement. The national forests
are not closed to settlement so
far as there is agricultural land
in them; but the real reason set
tiers go to Canada is because there
is more vacant land there Of the
kind they seek. It goes to say
that it is the difference in condi-
tions that takes men to Canada
and that agricultural lands do not
exist in the national forests which
can compete in quantity and quail
ity with the Canadian wheat
fields, just as no settlers would
fgo up 5000 feet in the Rocky
mountains for a strip of aspen
Land r he could get a free farm
in North Dakota.
"The history of homesteads,"
says the report, "in heavily tim
bered regions of the west has beel
that actual agricultural develop
ment has occurred where the entry
man had as a starting point
stretch of open land. Heavily tim
bered tracts have promptly pas
sed into the hands of timberland
owners or are held for speculation
by the entryman. The result has
been the acquisition of most of
the timber by timber companies.
CA careful analysis of all tim
bered homesteads located in the
Kaniksu forest prior to its with
drawal, 95 in all, showed that on
ly 1.34 per cent of the cultivable
land has been put to agricultural
use. An Examination of II claims
in the Clearwater National forest
of Idaho showed that IL per cent
of the claims had been cultivated.
"The effect on agriculture of
private ownership of timberlands
is here very clearly shown. The
timber owner holds the property
until he is ready to cut or until
the values have risen to a point
which induces him to sell. The
lands are then logged and the
owner offers them for sale at such
competitive prices as he can Sc
cure. The policy of most COM
panies has been to go rather slow
ly in selling their lands.
claws made for the benefit of
the homeseeker result in excludinf
him altogether and permitting the
timber speculator to acquire re-
sources of enormous value from
the government for speculative
purposes.
The report ends this part on
timber settlements with the fol-
lowing statement: "It is this
condition, which has led to the
policy of the forest service, to
cut over the heavily timbered
tracts before opening them to en-
try, in order that settlement may
be hastened and the bona fide set
tier may get his land free"

FOR LEAGUE
BASE BALL
Started for Or.
ganization Will be Four
Town Proposition.

AIiDuuc. cI1LlOuS are uOW Uc-
ing circulated to secure the organ
ization of a four-team base ball
league and a meeting will be call
ed at an early date for the pur-
pose of perfecting a league organ
ization and preparing the rules
that will govern the teams during
the ensuing season.
The proposition was brought to
the attention of the Lewiston bust
ness men yesterday by DR.. George
Gaignard of Reubens, and the pc
tition was freely signed here. DR..
Gaignard is secretary of the Reu-
bens Commercial Club and has
been active in promoting base
ball in the upper country. The
Reubens team has been one of the
best organizations in central Ida
no and the policy of the Renbens
management has been to develop
local players.
At the present time the plan
provides for a four-team league
and Lewiston, Reubens, Cotton
wood and Grangeville are men,
tioned.as the points where lea
que teams will be maintained. DIR.
Gaignard desires to hold the Or
ganization within the business
men M the four towns and to Sc
cure the adoption of rules that
will eliminate all betting on the
part of players or persons identi-
fled with the management of the
teams. He also desired provis-
ions in the rules that will prevent
the importation of professional or
semi professional players and
hopes to effect an organization
that will provide good, clean sport
and at the same time develop the
baseball material surrounding the
several towns.
Within the next few days the
plan will be taken before the
business men of Cottonwood and
Grangeville and all the prelimi-
nary work will be completed be.
fore the general meeting is called
1t is probable the meeting VIII be
held in February and as soon as
weather conditions will permit
the league is organized, the vari-
Gus managers will begin the Sc
lection of their teams for tn en-
suing season. The practice work
will be commenced as soon as
and the schedule will be arranged
to open the season early in the
spring.
Some of the best games wit
messed on the local diamond dur
ing the past few years have beer
with the teams from the towns
now suggested for membership il

has made a number of trips to the
prairie country and when specia
trains have been secured, the pa
tronage has been sufficient tt

recently passed and approved
ouse joint resolution No. 2, by
koelsch which is in accord with
$ nator Borah's resolution in the
"stional senate, providing for
amending the constitution for the
direct election of United States
senator's. Not a dissenting vote
was cast against the measure.
House memorial No. l, by Mason,
. Latah, was also passed unani-
a cusly by the house. Its purpose
is to prevail upon congress to
amend the three-year homestead
law in order that the settlers liv-
ing in the timbered sections of
the state may have relief from the
cultivation clause.
To increase the membership of
the supreme court bench from
three to five justices is the object
of house joint resolution No. 3,
by Koelsch, which was passed in
thu lower branch Of the Legislature
the lower house.
Koelsch presented statistics ohow
ing the number of justices upon
the supreme court bench in other
states, several of which, though of
less population than Idaho, have
more than three justices. He call
ed attention to the fact that 20
years ago there were only five ju;
dicia1 districts in the state with
three members of the supreme
court, and though the number of
judicial districts has now doubled,
and the litigation in the supreme
court has naturally increased the
membership Of the higher tribun-
al bench remains the same
Koelsch said that in 1892 there
were only 81 cases recorded in
the higher court, as against POI
during the year just past. All
the present justices, Chief Justice
Ailshie and Justices Stewart and
Sullivan, are heartily in favor of
the resolution passing. Mr. Ko-
elsch said:
Opposition Develops.
McDermott of Ada objected to
the plan of adopting the resolu-
ton and submitting the PROPOSE
tion to the people at the election.
He cited the wholesale adoption
of all the amendments proposed a.
the November election, and main
tanned that he did not believe the
people gave such important ques-
tions the thought they should.
Representative Ryan of Wash
ington, Oversmith of Latah, Con
ner of Bonner and Healey also
spoke upon the resolution.
In the vote which followed
Bradley of Canyon, Church Of
Idaho, Gardner of Ada, Lau OF
Bannock, Nelson of Oneida anG
