The companies have already sold 21,00a acres on the west side, on which farmers are settling and commencing aggressive defelopement work. They must have a market, which they have not now.

Aa the result of a conference at the White House, President Roosevelt this week will issuea j proclamation setting aside 10,000,000 acres of land in the Idaho forest reserve. The matter .was taken up with the presi dent today by Senator Dubois of Idaho and Gifloid Puichot, chief orester of the department of agriculture. ' The proposed withdrawal ol land in question , has been' the subject o'f an ani mated partisan controversy in Idaho for several months and has brought about strained relations of the - (wo Senators of that state. Senator Heyburn contended that the withdrawal of such a large area would retard development of the state and discourage'theiCttlemenHof homcseekers. He declared further that it would entail a hatdship on many citizens because the proposed reserve embraced rnany small towns. Dubois took issue with his colleague afdjieplied,that theentimenj of the slate was in favor of the reserve, and that a single town was a&cted. I'inchot took the Dubois pde. " The new reserves to be cieated are: Henry's lake, 750,000 acres; Sawtooth, 2,000,000 acres; Payette, 1,400,000 acres; Squaw creek, 285,000 acres; Cassia 325 000 acres; addition to Yellowstone 175, 000 acres; addition to Bitter Root 1,300,000 acres.. The Shoshone reserve will be created later. PORTAGE ROAD DEDICATION At a meeting of the open river executive committee and the portage board today it was decided to open the Portage road May 30.

" - Secretary of - BtaW r Dunbar has al ready indicated his Inteutlonnot to isvue certificates of allowance upon claims or the .maintenance of Normal Schools., He bas taken tbls; position because the NjrmaLSchoolabave never been regarded as a btate Institutions in the same senso the Asylum, PenI tentiary, etc., are state Institution, be cause tbelr claims were not audited In 1897, wlieri no appropriations were available, and because tbe State Board of Levy made no estimate for Normal Schools lu making tbe annual esti mates of state expenses In January. Secretary Dunbar will follow precedent until the judicial deparment directs bira to do otherwise. It is understood that local banks and business men have arranged to furnish funds for tlio Monmouth, Asbland and Weston Normals, and perhaps a similar arrangement may be in ado at Drain. An effort will first be made to establish the right of these Institutions to have tbeir claims audited and a friendly Biilt will be brought to compel tbe Secretary of Btate to issue certificate of allowance. If this should be de cided against the normals, tbe local capitalists will furnish funds and de pend upon the next Legislature for reimbursement. NO APPOINTMENT NOW H. W. Scott sends a telegram from Washington to Henry E. McGinn saying that President Roosevelt will not appoint a successor to the late Charles B. Bellin ger until after the completion of the fed eral land fraud trials. Mr. Scott expected to Ueave Washing ton last Tuesday for Portland, Attorney General Moody will make a visit to Port land, it is reported, to investigate the sit uation before an appointment is made. The telegnlm from Mr. Scott settles the issue as to the immediate filling of the vacancy, and opens the field to a number of candidates. Support will be brought bytfhe appli cants from Oregon and the Eastern states and lists ol indorsements will be laid be fore the pres4dent in 'their endeavors to in duce him to act favorably to their causes. Ex-Tudce James A. Fee, of Pendleton, will enter the race', with the indorsement of a number of Pendleton lawyers, includ ing Circuit Judge W. R. Ellis. Although W. W.
