The Boise Statesman of Thursday
published a most sensational inter
view with State Land Commissioner
George A. Day, considered from the
standpoint of the position taken by
both of the Boise newspapers, in
reference to the timber land owned
by the state OF Idaho. He urges the
harvesting of the timber which is rip
and says the state should seek mar
ket for it instead of sitting down and
waiting for buyers. The sensational
revelation of his interview is the val
ue he places on it. He says the tim
Der alone is worth $4,000 an acre to
say nothing of the value OF the land.

cause:
George A. Day, state land com
missioner, is convinced that one of
the pressing duties of this state at
this time Is to harvest the ripe tim
Der now owned by the state.

Day, "that leads farmer or fruit

CALLS 1T A HUGE FARCE
Effort to Disrupt kidder-Harris High
,, way District Denounced.

way OtStrtct denounced.
About the most peculiar. as well as !
the silliest public transaction that
ever came to our notice Is the recent
attempt to disorganize the Kidder-
Harris highway district. 1t Is one OF
two things-the prime movers in this
matter went into 1t not knowing what
they were doing, or they deliberately
attempted to mislead the people by
making false and malicious state
ments.
We are told that most of the sig
natures to the petitions were secured
through Misrepresentation of the
rankest kind. The charge was made
that the three district commissioners
were drawing down salary OF $500
year each, when the fact Is they
draw no salary at all. 1t was also
charged that no money was being ex-
pended ON the roads, but the commits
sioners are prepared to show that
more and better work has been done
during the past year In the territory
embraced in the Kidder-Harris high
way district than for the two years
previous.
How men of ordinary intelligence
could undertake a move of this kind
without first making some effort to
inform themselves on the law gov
erning such matters Is hard to under
stand. The highway law In this case
was wholly disregarded. The petit
ton itself, as drawn up, was con-
trary to the law, and every man who
signed it made 1t clear that he was
signing something he knew nothing
about And to make matters worse,
two men made affidavits that the dis
trict had no Indebtedness, when 1t
was an easy matter to find out that
such was not the case.
The whole matter Is such a pitiful
farce that the county commissioners
will give it little. If any oonsidera-
ton, and will be dropped entirely I'M
less the prosecuting attorney sees fit
to take UP the matter of false state
ments made under oath.
Out of 1875 names on the petitions
only 80 are bona fide residents Of
the district whose signatures, proper
ly secured, would have any weight
1t Is really pity to see men, wheth-
err from petty spite, or fancied griev
ance, make asses Of themselves In
an attempt to undo something which
Is known to be of great benefit t
themselves and their neighbors. Their
is no excuse for 1t. 1t Is pitiful II
! the extreme, and the writer hesitatet
. long time before deciding to maxi
any reference at all to the matter.
Statements have been made in con
nection with this affair which are a.
b false as they are contemplate, an,
I to refute all of them would be onl.
k a waste of time and space and W
8 have neither to spare.

possible.

81 am convinced, too" said Com
missioner Day, pursuing the matter
| further, that the state should go out
and seek a market for its timber. l
dom regard it good policy for the
state to sit down and wait for GUS
toners to come around. There is
too much at stake. If 1t pays for
farmers and fruit men to go out and
work up market for their products,
it would pay just that much better
for the state to work up a market
for its ripe timber"
