Acres From Idaho County for Reserve
—Description and Location.
The secretary of the interior has is
sued an order withdrawing another
175,000 aeres of land in Idaho county
from entry with the idea of taking it
into the "forest reserve. This with
drawal dot» not necessarily mean that
the land will come under the control
of the forest department at once but
simply keeps settlers from taking it up
for homesteads. As it is nothing can
be done with it, cattle can be grazed
before and the forest sevice
supervision whatever
over the land. It may be several
years before it is taken in and again
it might be in thirty days. The de
partaient lias set the land aside and
proposes no more settlers take np any
of it pending the government decision,
The order setting aside this vast
acreage reads as follows:
"On February 17, 1909, the secre

his supervisory authority and with a
view to the conservation of water re
sources, withdrew from all forms of,
entry so that they may be available
for the benefit of the public in con
nection with future development,
lands below referred to.
"Portions of these lands are unsur
veyed, but you will make appropriate
notation on your records to show the
withdrawal thereof while unsurveyed
as well as after the survey has Ix-en
made."
Must of the land is located on the
west and south sides of the Salmon,
extending in some instances to the
Oregon line on the west and south of

A picture of the Klondike, a story of the con

that sweeps away every barrier. Poleon, the
Great Heart, the character who caught the ar

In The Barrier Mr. Beach has written a story that is

Now what do you think, you people
who have been telling who was going

elections, yon never can tell until all
the vote's are in and have been counts

glance at the returns will show they
have not much to go on. The votes
were counted Wednesday afternoon
and those received since that date are
not included but will come on the
next count. Go after your friends or
those who an* not your friends and get.

any one to refuse to assist. A few
dollars dot's not amount to much
and they get value for every cent ami
have a chance to assist some worthy
girl to win. Don't forget the business
houses where you trade. One good
turn deserves another and they will
not refuse to help you. Look out for

has climbed. Miss Cook has lost her
place but she has numerous friends we
do not look for her to occupy the place

contest.

Miss Cash has lead in this district
every since the beginning of the con
test until this week she fell behind.
At one time she was in the lead by
some four thousand. However she is
only 350 votes from the lead, a small
amount to overcome. Miss Sebastian,
who now leads in this district, is a
most popular young lady and works
incessantly. Miss Knorr, the Denver
candidate, is making phenomiual
gains, climbing from 8,000 several
weeks ago to over 12,550 this week,
only 2,500 from being the leader of
the entire county.

COUNTRY HOME DESTROYED
Taylor Wisdom Loses His
House and Contents.
A fire occurred at the ranch of
Morton A Johnson, across the river
from Lucile last week, destroying
their house and the contents. The
two owners were away from home at
the time and the cause of the fire is
unknown. Upon their return they
fonud the house in ruins. The dam
age was considerable and we are un
able to learn whether it was protected
by any insurance.
The country home of Taylor Wis
dom was completely destroyed by fire
this week. At the time of the fijpe-f
Mr. and Mrs. Wisdom were ill aifd
this makes the misfortune quite a
hardship. The cause of the lire we
understand was defective Hue and the
house was quickly consumed,
furniture was lost. We understand
some insurance was carried on the loss
which will amount to close to $1,500.
All the
Spring is Here.
There is every evidence that spring

the robins are here, the ranchers are
busy with their spring work, the
building boom is on and last hut not
