TOREST KKSEBTKA Id another column the Press pub lishes the letter of Senator Dubois to President Roosevelt, giving his idea of the proposed forest reserves which are to be created in Idaho. It ia a well known fact that Senator Dubois does uot agree with Senator lleyburn and Congressman French in this mat ter. These two are opposed to the creation of any more forest reserves in Idaho. They oppose the plans of the heads of the forestry and irriga tion service. President Roosevelt agrees with these departments of the government and has just emphasized, his position by endorsing the with drawal of large tracts of timber lauds in Idaho for reserve purposes. i In this Senator Dubois supoorts the president aud we have the unusual | condition of two republican members of cougress opposiug the administra tion, while the one democratic mem ber from this state is supporting it. The position of Senator Dubois is undoubtedly oue of patriotic un selOrhuess. because he is lookiug be yond the present, aud building for the future for those who will fol low . 1 - ling generations. In a me«-u. r.\e this to those who are to come alter us, but the present is of greater interest to those uow liv ing. than the future, and from a selfish point of view the senator's poei iou is untenable. We believe there is a middle ground which might be taken, with the interests of the present and future both better served, than that represented by the president Hud democratic senator on the one hand, or the republican on the senator and iepreseutative other. To place such large tracts of land iu northern Idaho forest reserves is an injustice to the people, at the same time the rough mountain ous country which is not tit for agri culture or cultivation might, with out injury, be put iuto such reserves aud the balance left open to settle, rnent. That would satisfy the people and p reserve the forests on shed- for the that Senator the n. future mtain We water believe Dubois fav. }Tti su ich a plan to leave the la ids ti,., are .-u.-cej tihl * IU cal 11 - - tf on 0| ' -'1 to ,-ettieiu elit. and tii it tl t* iil a the ultir nate out coma c r the Hit r .versy. «. - he doubt.

With our form of government such great economic questions as the oue now agitating the people of northern Idaho are usually settled for the best interests of all, and we believe this question will be settled that way. The Press has given publicity to Senator Heyburn'w views and now publishes those of Senator Dubois Another installment of Seuator Dubois' letter will be published in our next if>*uo. Til XI X -X I .

If this was tbeir object, they have succeeded admirably and deserve aii the credit for what they have dune. We may uot be unbiased lu our opinion that Coeur d'Alene was the best location for the institil tion, hut tie-re can be no prejudice iu the statement that any location other thau the one selected would bave been preferable.

There is certainly nothing to recommeud the place but distance and it may be a case where the governor believes that distance lends enchantment to the view. While this woold have been a desirable location for the institution and from a monetary point of view it would have been acceptable, there are make their election to office possible were turned down, as their reward for faithfulness to the republican cause.

Tl.st Vl.ihml Legal. LewistoP, Idaho, May 18 — One of the most peculiar decisions that as ever been received from the cominls sinner of the general land office came to the local land office leceutly iu the case of James M. Candler against Duncan J. McOHvery, contest over 160 acres miles northeast of Pierce city. The decision ia signed by J. H. Fimple, assistant commissioner, and in short makes the finding that under some circumstances a person can settle on a homestead by proxy and obtain title. The decision, which is in favor of Mr. McGlvery, reads in part as follows: "In the spring of 1902, the entry man sent a irlan by the name of Cald well with material and provtatona to clear a part of the land and cultivate it. When said party arrived near ,hp ,aurl hB ,oun,J oul tb,t ,be con t ,- etant had settled upon the laud and was occupying the cabin which D"* entryman had paid Carncron to erect for him, and Caldwell so notified the the land and informed the contestant that the entryuian who finited coolwiaoi lUil ID ® c ®bin belonged to him, and asked y or possession,^ whlch^ tbe contestant de clined to give. The entryrnan tries *° ma,te ** «ppe»r **>« contestant 1* a dangerous mao as a reason for no * attempting to take possession and «*ld* upon the land, but there *• 00 evidence to show that the con Ic<d*ut is a dangerous man. "H •» shown that the eDtryman never slept a night on the land or cooked a meal on the same, and it appears that his alleged settlement is oue by proxy and without merit, as he and bis family have resided in Lewiston, Idaho, the whole time, "It is shown that the - contestant settled npon the land April 28, 1902. aud remained thereoo until August 1, 1902, when he left the land to work and has returned three or four times since, managing to be on the land from one to two days st s time shout one* every six months, and during the whole time all the improvements made by him consist of making aud haugiug a door, cutting a place for a window in the cabin and clearing about oue quarter of an acre, which has never been cultivated. The settlement, improvements and visits made by Caudler as a prior settler | are uot such that would give him preference right over the eutrymau, j bis residence and improvements ; should be equal to that required by ! homestead eutrymau,'aud be had failed to meet these requirements."

Wallace, Idaho, May 17,—-Amoug the residents of the Coeur d'Alene* the opposition to the creation of the J unmeuse forest-reserve wlthiu Hho shoue county is nearly unanimous, They are of the opinion that it will result iu a great detriment to the mining industry on account of a lack of timber. The principal opposition ia that this vast scope ot territory should be closed to settlement. The greater part of Shoshone county is included within the coniines of the proposed reserve. It is the general belief that it la only a qneatiou of time till large producing mine# are discovered within the aiea of the reserve, which extends nearly to Wallace. Mining men who are ac quainted with the conditions prevail ing under the administration of a forest leservo say that a mine can only be operated with great lneon reuirnce aud with little protit. Protests bare been numerously signed aud forwarded to Washington, but apparently have been of little avail. Iu response to au Inquiry as to what further steps will be taken iu regard to restoring the forest reserves to the public domain aud for settle me tit, Seuator lley burn said today : "1 haveouly to say the controversy is not ended; that before 1 am through with the question the land, will be restored to the public domain ami open to settlement. either through executive, legislative 0 r judicial action.
