Public Lands.
"A map of this kind being Intended
largely for the URe of those contem
plating making their homes in Idaho

ditions of the public lands and surveys,
and might, without crowding the map,
indicate the parts of the state where

the settlements have been mad« 1 Rhow•
| inB the Progress of Its settlement.
"I submit to you herewith a small
map upon which the lands, the. title to
which has passed from the govern
ment. are shown. This Is a matter of
very great Importance. The inquiring
homeseeker at a distance from Idaho
has a difficulty in obtaining any in
formation from which to direct his pre
liminary investigation of the state. It
Is so large in area that if he lands in
north Idaho when if he had full know
ledge of the conditions he would land
In south Idaho, he is about ns far from
the place he desires to settle as he
would be bofere he started on bis trip,
and It not only incurs Incoricvenience,
but very great expense. The settlers
who are looking for a certain class of
lands should be ndvised by your map
of Idaho where that class of lands may
be found. I realize that It is impos
sible to convey all of the Information
which every person might desire
through the means of a map, yet it
fseems to me that the general land
office ought not to hesitate on the
ground of labor or expense In reach
ing the furthest limit of information
that may be useful in reaching the
highest purpose which the government
has in sending out maps of the states
where the public land« are to ge found.
"I would l<ke that no freest reserves
except '.hosr that have been f 'll y and
finally established, appear upon the
map."

Organization for the Upbuilding
and Rehabilitation of Amer

New York. April 13.—The new cam
paign organizing to secure from con
gress in the next seslon action toward
the rehabilitation of the American
merchant marine will be started in
earnest tomorrow when a meeting will
be held at the Waldorf-Astoria to ef
fect permanent organization and dis
cuss plans. The new organization is
called the American Maritime league,
and the president is former Senator
John M. Thurston. The organization
is thoroughly non-partisan, and com
prises men of all guslness pursuits
and e\;ery shade of political opinion.
It does not favor any definite policy,
either of subsidies, discriminating du
ties. port charges or tonnage taxes, but
Interests the public in the general sub
ject of upholding the merchant marine
of the United States.
An advisory board has already been
selected, with one of more representa
tives from every state. President
Roosevelt has signified his interest in
the organization by accepting an hbn
orary membership and on the advisory
board nre former Secretary of War
Root, Secretary of the Navy Morion,
Attorney General Moody, Secretary of
War Taft, Charles M. Schwab. M. E.
Ingalls, President Sohurman, of Cor
nell University, President Harper, of
the University of Chicago, and Gover
nor Bliss, of Michigan.
It is proposed that the members of
the league shall press the subject of
building up the merchant marine, es
pecially on commercial clubs and or
ganizations. A magazine will be es
tablished In Washington whose col
umns will be open to a non-partisan
discussion, and prior to the assemgllng
of congress meetings will be held in
this city and in other parts of the
country.
WHY KUROPATKIN WAS FIRED
Hia Fata Rested Solely Upon the Bet'
tin o: Mukden.
London. April 12.—A Russian ebres
pondent sends a curious story concern
ing the dismissal of General KurOpat
kln, and vouches for Its authenticity.
He says It is not surprising that the
recall of General Kuropatkln halt ex
cited little comment In St. Petersburg.
Everybody expected it after the fnll of
Mukden. The reason is as follows:
About six weeks ago M. Demchlnskl,
a Russian of high standing and a great
personal favorite of the Czar, wrote
a long memorandum from Manchuria,
addressed, through M. Souvorln, the
editor of the Novoe Vremya. ta the
Russian press and people.
In this memorandum M. Demchinsk!
charged General Kuropatkln with
many offences, and accused him |>f be
ing entirely responsible for the disas
ters to the Russian arms. A detailed
account was given of the condition of
affairs In Manchuria, and opinion was
expressed that if General Kuropatkln
was allowed to continue In the posi
tion of commander in chief Russia
would never win a victory. The most
popular person In the Far East, con
tinued M. Demchlnskl. was "papasha"
fDear little father) Llnevltch, and he
was also the only military man with
sufficient skill to retrieve the Russian
fortunes.
This communication created si great
sensation in St. Petersburg, and copies
of It were circulated all over Russiji
after the editor of the Novoe Vnemyo
had first forwarded It to the czar. The
latter had also received another com
munication from" the front to the effect
that Kuropatklns plans were tt> make
a grand stand at Mukden, nnd that he
had taken an oath on his sword not
to move an inch from that place. The
czar decided to let Kuropatkln stand
or fall by the oath he had taken. So
when the news of the loss of Mukden
was received he without apy delay
summoned the grand dukes hv tele
phone to an extraordinary council
drew their atention to M. Denuhinski'ff
charges and announced KurOpatkln'a
dismiss!
