CITY ELECTION.
The Voters Decide To Divide IJs the
Offices, (living Neither Party
The Whole Thief.
The election Tuesday was one of
the quietest in the city’s experience.
People have seen the aselessneas of
fighting snd becoming enraged over
our local issue, which is always with
us, and this year they went quietly
to the polls and voted their convic
tions. Of the four aldermen to be
elected, the Reform people elect
the two in the Third ward, and the
Taxpayers the one in the First and
Second wards. The Taxpayers elect
city marshal, J. Q. Morrison, and the
Reform people all other city officers.
The vote is given in detail below.
The vote os the franchise
was almost unamious in favor of
Mr. Cookie's proposition, out of 349
votes cast oa this only 55 were
against the franchise, and it is easy
to figure out that these few votes
were confined to the families, and
interested personal friends of the
.Slater company, its attorney, Mr.
Arthur and the two newspapers that
fought the new company. So it is
easy to see that the people who pay
taxes in Caiion are almost unamious
in there welcome of Ur. Cookie’s
company, to this community. ' This
ought to settle the matter of injunc
tions against the company far some
time to come.

Circular.
Rules and Regulations Governing the
use of Timber on Nonmineral Pub
lic Lands in Certain States and
Territories, under the Act of
March 3, 1891 (26 Stat., 1093), as
Extended by the Act of February
13, 1893 (27 Stat., 444).
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE
Washington,D. C.,February 10,1900.
By virtue of the power vested in
the Secretary of the Interior by the
act of March 3, 1891 (26 Slat.. 1093)
the following rules and regulations
are hereby prescribed:
1. The act, bo far as it relates to
timber on public lands, as extended
by the act of February 13, 1893
(27 Stat., 444), applies only to the
States of Colorado, Montana, Idaho,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyom
ing, Nevada, and Utah, and the
Territories of Arizona and New Mex
ico. The act originally extended to
the District of Alaska, but in that
respect it has been superseded by
section 11 of the act of May 14, 1898
(30 Stat., 409), under which other
and separate regulations are prescrib
ed for the District of Alaska.
2. The intention of the act of
March 3, 1891, is to enable settlers
upon public lands and other residents
within the States and Territories
above named to secure from public
timber lands timber er lumber for
agricultural, mining, manufacturing,
or domestic puoposes, for the use in
the State or Territory where obtained
under rules and regulations to be
made and prescribed by the Sesretary
of the Interior.
3. Settlers upon public lands and
other residents of the States and
Territories above named may procure
timber free of charge from unoccupi
ed, unreserved, nomineral public I*™**
within said States and Territories,
strictly for their ewn use for fire
wood, fencing, building or other agri
cultural, mining, manfacturing. or
domestic purposes, but not for sale
or disposal, nor for use by other
persons, nor for export from the
State or Territory where procured.
The cutting or removal of timber or
lumber to an amount exceeding in
stum page value SSO in any one year
will not be premitted, except upon
applicative to the Secretary of the
Interior, and after the granting of a
special premit. Except as above pro
vided, it is not necessary for actual
residents to secure premission to
taks timber from public lands in said
States and Territorial for ths pur
poses aforesaid. The exercise of
such dvilegs is, however, subject at
all times to supervision by ths De
partment with a view to such restric
tion ss may be deemed necessary.
4. In cases where qualified persons
are not in position ts procure limber
from the public lands themselves, it
is allowabl • for them to secure the
cutting, removing, sewing, or other
manfseture of the timber through
the medium of others upon an agree
ment with the parties thus as their
agents that they sh II be paid a suff.-
«ient amount only to cover their time,
labor and other legitimate expenses,
incurred in connection therewith, ex
clusive of any charge for the timber
itself; bat no person, whether acting
for himself, as an agent for another,
or otherwise, will be permitted to cut
or remove in any one ysar timber or
lumber to an amount exceeding in
stum page value SSO, except upon
application to the Secretary of ths
Interior, and upon granting of a
special permit.
5. The uses specified in section 3
of these rules snd regulations con
stitute the only purposes for which
timber may be taken from public
lands in said States and Territories,
under this act.
6. The cutting and removing of
timber, free of charge, under said act
of March 3, 1891, is confined to un
reserved, unoccupied, nonmineral pub
lic lauds, in the States and Territories
named therein, inasmuch as ths act
specifically provides that the same
shall not operate to repeal the act of
June 3. 1878 (20 Stat., 88), which

Territories, for the free cutting of
timber on public lanes that are known
to be of a strictly mineral character
for the uses named in said act.
7. It is provided in said act of
March 3, 1891, that "nothing herein
contained shall operate to enlarge the
rights of any railway company to cut
timber on the public domain.** Con
sequently, no timber may be cut or
taken under this act from public
either by or for the use of any
railway company.
8. Section 2461, United States
Revised Statutes, is still in force in
the States snd Territories herein
named, and its provisions may be en
forced against any person, or persons,
who cut or remove, or aid or assist
or are am ploy sd in cutting or remov
ing, any timber from public landn
therein, except as allowed by law.
9. The Secretary of the Interior
reserves the right to revoke the prfv
iligea granted, in any cases wherein
he has information that pefeons are
abusing the samo, or when it U ne
cessary for the public good.
10. All rules and regulations
heretofore prescribed under aaid sot
of March 3, 1891, relating to the usa
of timber on public landa in the above
named States and Territories, are
hereby revoked. * *

Moat of the voting population of

to vote on the question ef bonds or
no bonds, for the erection of a new
school house. Not having held any
previous meeting relative te the
matter, but few ef those present
knew the exact purpose of the meet
ing. Several suggestions were mads,
One was that a school house in each
end of the district be built and leave
the present site of the old building
for a high school building, it being
claimed that our district oould fur
nish twenty to twenty five scholars
in the fifth grade, up for such a
school. Another suggestion was
that-the west wed build a sohooi
house aad the east end one, and ab
end the present location. On account
of the oon fusion aad diversity of
opinion no bonds were voted at the
meeting, bat farther action will pro
bably be taken at the regular school
meeting the first Monday In May.
