Will APPEAR AT
PUBLIC HEARING
Attorney Generals Trip to
Washington of Import
ance to the State.

The pending trip of Attorney Cen
eral J. II. Peterson to Washington to
look after Idahos clearlistings and
straighten out if possible the hitch in
the program to send several millions
of dollars worth of land to patent, is of
not a little Importance. The attorney
general expects to reach Washington
in time for the public hearings that are
to be held by the house committee on
public lands commencing Feb. IS on
bills introduced during the present
congress which propose to permit all
western public land states to exchange
both surveyed and unsurveyed school
sections in forest reserves for compact
areas of forest reserve lands equal in
extent and value to the lands surren-
dcred.
| Already Washington, Idaho, Mon
tana, California and one or two other
states have attempted to make such
exchanges, but the secretary OF the in
terror has held he is without legal au-
thority to authorize the exchanges and
the pending bills are designed to confer
this authority.
The main hearing will be held on the
Ferris bill, which is a departmental
bill, already recommended by Secretary
Lane for passage. The bill provides
that where sections l6 and 96, the
school sections. have been included in a
forest reserve, the state may "relin-
quish it's claim, right and title thereto
and select in lieu thereof other unap-
propriated non mineral lands of ap-
proximately equal value designated by
the secretary of agriculture and lying
within the present boundaries of any
national forest within the state where
in the exchange is to be made"
Much Land Involved.
Those agreements are to be ap-
proved by the secretary of the interior
and be formally authorized by the pres
ident, and when the exchange is sc
authorized the lands selected by the
states will e eliminated from the for
est reserves and be turned over to the
states, while the lands relinquished by
the states are to become a permanent
part of the forest reserves. The bill In
terms confirms the tentative agree
ments of exchange made by Idaho
Montana, Washington and South Da-
kota, insofar as they apply to surveyed
school sections in the reserves, but
new negotiations must be made for the
exchange of unsurveyed school sections
| Some idea of the amount of land in
the various states that will be affected
| by this bill. If enacted. is contained In
tabular statement sent to congress By
| the secretary of the interior. This re.
port shows, for instance, that in Idaho
there are 299,1S1 acres of surveyed anC
| 1894 acres of unsurveyed school sec
tions. In all, 1888 acres have beer
used as base, and 32S,1S7 acres yet re-
main unoffered. There are also $4,000
acres of school lands in Indian reserva.
| tions.
In Montana there are 312,4s5 acres o.
surveyed and 746.163 acres of unsur.
veyed school lands in forest reserves
| To date 569,546 acres have been used a.
base, and 4s9,107 acres are still un.
offered as tase. In addition, abou
| 100000 acres of school lands are tieC
up in Indian reservations.

Superintendent Kleinknecht has just

service.
Our cost of production was twenty
five per cent less than that of any of
the other municipal plants whose re-
ports l have studied he said.
He also discovered that the pur-
chase of the Light, Heat & Power
plant by the city has only increased
the cost Of operating the city plant
eight per cent, which is considerably
lower than anticipated.

during the course of the day were Will

Crane, Senator Boies Penrose and
some of their eastern Heutenants.
William Orr, secretary to Governor
Whitman of New York, also was
among the arrivals. Because of the
unqualified support given the justice
by Governor Whitman and the suspic-
ion that Mr.. Orr might be the bearer
of important tidings, the secretary's
advent into the Chicago zone of battle
occasioned some interest. Thus far.

That was the positive statement by
