paper stating that he had a man who
was rarin' to go, and would take Arley
on in Pocatello any old time on the
basis of winner take all the money.
Accordingly, Arley will journey to
Pocatello very shortly and tear into

the chances are that he will put him
down before the match is over for Ar
ley isea bear cat and would rather
wrestle than eat.

FOREST DUREAUD|LL
FAILED IN SENATE
Important Measure Survived
House but Was Lost in up
per AssemblyProtests Are
Made Against It.

The bill proposing the creation of a
forestry bureau or board In this state
failed to pass both houses OF the last
legislature. 1t survived the house but
was lost in the senate. Protests against
the passage of the measure came from
Moscow and other points. 1t was con-
tended that the small timber owner
would not be represented on the pro-
posed board, that the cost OF fighting
timber fires would be charged to the
small owners, making it possible to-
assess the charge against the owner in
the form of taxes.
Had this bill been passed and signed
by the governor state forester would,
under the direction of a forestry beard,
have supervision over the, vast timber
resources of Idaho The Legislature has
passed a law SO providing. Some 1dea
OF the importance of this office can
be gained from the fact that Idaho has
today within it's borders. 23, 900. 900 aci es
of forest lands or about 43 per cent Of
the total area. The merchantable tim
her amounts to one hundred and thirty
billion feet, divided as follows: twenty
four billion, seven hundred thousand
feet in white pine; twenty-five billion.
three hundred thousand in yellow pine:
seven billion, eight hundred thousand
in tamarack; forty-eight billion, one
hundred thousand in mixed woods; and
twenty seven billion. three hundred
thousand in red fir. Practically all Of
the white pine is in northern Idaho,
north of the Clearwater river.
Some idea of the amount of timber
these figures represent can be obtained
from the following illustrations: one
hundred and thirty billion feet Of lum-
Der would fill 100000 railroad freight
cars; it would build sidewalk Of one
inch lumber 10 feet wide and 2.462. 121
miles long--enough to go around the
/ earth 100 times at the equator, or to
the moon from the earth and back five
times; build commodious eight room
house with two stories for every one
of the 100000 men, women and chill
dren living west of the Rocky noun
tains. Idaho owns in forest lands as
a state governments, 723,000 acres. The
balance is in forest reserves or private
hands.

stood that s6000,000 was to be spent
for good roads in this section within
the next two years, and the progressive
men of Boise should get together and
insist that share of this money be
appropriated for the building of road
between the two places. He also
wants the road built to furnish en-
ployment for returning service men as
eyes of the world.
