In Benin this timber the state grant a term of 20 year for the purchaser; to remdv it, and during .all these. 2U years the pur chaser get the benefit of, the wee of the iana .ana- uie grpwm ,o me young um ber. The first of thess purchases wai made'-' sever year ago, -hence the ' oom panics, etlll -have a period of it years in which to .remove the timber. In some cases hev have begun operations and naVe-made some progress; in other it is- said they .have not turned a wheel. Opposition. of a very strong character will W presented to this proposed ex tension.' Part of 4hi opposition comes from r.the individual holders of isolated tracts within the limits of these state lands, who claim that an extension of tlms -would ; permit 'the timber syndicates- to freeze them out and compel them to sell at their own figures. This, they, claim, is - an injustice , to them, which could not be inflicted if the tim ber owners were compelled to go ahead and tJear up the at ate lands. The tim ber companies would thus be compelled to pay a decent price for the timber on these claims, and -there are a great many of them, r- - - .- Wonld' Bat Settler. Ariolha ground of opposition Is that an extenfclon of time defers the settle ment of these legged off lands. The timber companies would keep settlers out by retaining possession of the lands and. as Senator Heyburn has expressed li. It Is men, not - the trees,1 Idaho wants. ' : It is said "that-the timber syndicates will have a" strong lobby at Boise to work their soheme through the legis lature, and the individual timber hold ers of the northern part of the state are. planning to send a lobby to combat them. - '" - Is there a secret movement on foot among certain ambitious politicians of Itfiho to defeat the reelection of Sen ator Heyburn? Thls-Js a question that, mnnv nt thu lahilnr'a frtenda are ask-, Ing. and there seems to Be some ground for their apprehension. B. F.

Among the other more important measures likely to receive consideration are those looking to .the conservation of the state's natural -resources, which will come before the body as the result of the famous White House conrerence.

That a new primary law will be con sidered, and perhaps favorably, seems a certainty. It will be so framed as to Include even United States senators.

Rorlck, three miles above Oranddalles, where he has a first class dairy well equipped with aU the neces sary adjuncts. The milk from Spring Brook dalrv is taken to tne Koctciano ierry, wnicn plies between The Dalles and Grand dalles, every morning, ana is aisiriDiuea by a sanitary milk company to Dalles customers. Another dairy that helps to furnish cream and milk to The Dalles from- its sister- town of Granddalles is that owned and operated by Robert GHmore, a pioneer of Klickitat- county, who con ducts his dairy two- miles from Grand dalles.

Northern Idaho Forestry association, composed of lumbermen of Washington, Idaho, Min nesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska, owning hundreds of thousands of acres of virgin forest lands in the panhandle of Idaho, will urge the forestry depart ment, headed by Oifford Plnchot, to co operate with it in the 'protection of the standing timber, including several hun dred thousand acres in the national for est reserve, declared to be the largest stand of white pine left intact on the continent. The association expended more than $100,000 this year In building trails, maintaining stations and Patrols and fighting forest fires. It Is purposed to build a series of 20 dams at the headwaters of the Coeur d'Alene, St. Maries and St. Joe rivers and their tributaries, to create enor mous reservoirs to store the snow water from the mountains for release during tne dry season. This will provide means to fight fires, insuring also steady flow In the streams for logging, irrigating and mining nurooses and checking the floods during the spring freshetp, thus eliminating the danger of the destruction of millions of dollars' worth of property by the ravages of swollen mountain streams.

From the New York World. Captain Edoardo Baccarl of the Ital Ian armv has lust published a book which has horrified the mollycoddles of Europe, for It contains a brilliant de fense of cannibalism. .Captain Baccarl knows his cannibals well, for he lived among them lucky man! for a long time, m tne. neart or tne Congo, and It is reassuring to have his guarantee tnat tne trioes wnicn reea on numan flesh are the gentlest and most timid of all the African peoples. He tells us that our efforts to make these black men see the horror of their antnropopnagous diet produce exactly the same effect upon them that is pro duced upon us meat eaters by the ef forts of vegetarians to show us the horror of a diet of chicken wings and Deer s teas s. And ha adds tne sage re mark tnat tne Killing ot a chicken or a steer is attended, with no danger, while ne nunt atter a man. run as K Is of erlls- and excitement, lends to the flesh of the victim a moral savor which every: ardent sportsman will understand. The gourmets of the Congo assured Captain Baccarl that the flesh of white men was insipid, watery ana of poor flavor." Perhaps that Is 'why he lived to write the tale. These cannibals -never allow their wo men- to eat human flesh. So even In darkest Africa does the trrant man keen all the best things of Ufa from his wives ana irom nis daughters. Tomorrow.'

Ray Boggs arrived In this city from the Old Peacock mlneNn the Seven Devils, where he is engaged this winter superintend- ; ing the development work being dona on that ' property. This is the first Strip out that has been made by Mr. ooggs ior tne past, two monina, ana was for the purpose of attending to business matters and securing some ma- I chlnery and supplies to be used during tne rest 01 tne winter. Mr. Hoggs lert Tuesday marnlng for the camp and will not return to the'lowar country for sev eral weeks, possibly' not before spring. The Old Peacock mine is being rapidly developed by a force of 20 men, who are aided by - the most modern ma chlnery. The men have been engaged for the past - few weeks in sinking a shaft to a depth of 200 feet. The shaft : Is driven from the surface to the first tunnel at. a depth of 100 feet, and From 1 there on down to the main ore body. where crosscuts and. drifts will be mad 6 In several different directions. Improvements Are If ad a. The work of driving the shaft Is be ing carried on under difficulties, owing to the amount of water that continually flows in from the top and through fls' sures on the way down. - To meet this trouble a pump has been Installed that works at the same time as the hoist, keeping the shaft as dry as possible and permitting the men to keep busy at all times of the day. Heretofore the water had to be pumped out before the miners could go down. A new hoist house h been built and all of the machinery In stalled in it. The hoist Itself is a new piece of machinery and was put In at enormous cost. At the present time the work la com pleted to a depth of 175 feet, which leaves only 35 feet to be sunk. Under the direction of Mr. Boggs this work will be completed within the course ot" two weeks and the crosscuts and drifts will be started. The ore previously shipped from tba property proved to be very good grade, but the transportation facilities were such that shipping was largely a mat ter of speculation. The work will be sufficiently advanced by next . spring to warrant taking out a large tonnage. Im mediately after the completion of the road down the Snake river below Hunt ington a road or tramway will be built from th- mine to Ballard's Landing and the product transported over this route. Concerning the development work now being done in the Seven Devils dis trict, Mr. Boggs stated that the larger companies Intend to keep a rorce ot men at work on their properties the re mainder of the winter.' He also stated that the past summer had been a busy one all over the region near Cuprum and Landore, with the result that a number of promising showings were made and several cars of ore shipped to the smelter at Tacoma and Sumpter. General Huts Vrogresa. The Arkansas mine has been the most active and has secured the best results. Two cars of ore which averaged 20 per cent copper have been shipped. The mine owners are now engaged storing ore for shipment next summer. The HancocK Mining company win keep a force of men on its claim doing development work. During the past summer this company has completed a road three and one half miles long that connects with the regular wagon road to Council from LAndore and the dif ferent mines in that locality. P. H. Miller of the National Copper Mining company has been pushing oper ations all summer and fall and has reached a stage where fine showings are being made.

Idabo, Dec. 19.-The kick of i, mule uncovered the cropplngs of the Bunker Hill A Sullivan mina (as yet tne greatest., lead , prpducer tn the world), a mine discovered by Portland people and promoted by Portland peo ple; and led to the development of this district, giving to the whole world over $175,000,000 worth of minerals. This mine, after being worked for 2 1 years. Is valued at $28,000,000, and has already paid dividends to the amount ot..1Ai1A000' nd u believed to carry a $10,000,000 surplus. One year's net profits were $2,162,000, a greater annual profit than was ever made by any other exclusive lead-sliver mine in the world. This property's main ore body is opened to a depth of , $100 feet and shows a width of 100 feet and a far better grade of ore than was shown in the upper workings. Tha greatly Increasing profits Of the Coeur d'Alene mines have resulted In more thoroughly establishing - the fact with the mine investing public, and mine operators in particular,, that this mining district is ''strictly reliable." It Is also a notoworthy fact that the ex tremely large lead-silver ore bodies of the district are deep seated, those in the Bunker Hill A Sullivan and Standard-Mammoth- the deepest workings )n the district having been exposed to a depth of $200 feet without showing signs of diminished width., length or lessen ing of the metallic contents of ores. . Depth of One Kile. Geologists claim that these ore de posits extend to a depth of one mile, and can be worked at a profit until exhausted. For these reasons tha future of this dlstriot Is assured for at least 100 years. Another wonder. Is the Hercules, owned by 18 men and women, who 10 years ago were worth all told not over $10,000, but each of whom today is considered a. millionaire. The Coeur d'Alene district covers both slopes of the Bitter Root moun tains. Swing partly in .Montana and partly in Idaho. Its length from east to west is about $S miles, and its width from north to south about 20 miles. The Northern Pacific and Oregon Rail road aV Navigation roads traverse the district, and the Milwaukee comes near. The Idaho Northern is. building from the Oregon Railroad & Navigation at Enaville to Murray, on Prichard creek., the center of the gold belt, about $3 miles. The Spokane electric is coming this way. , -. . The year 1885 is credited with 1S0O tons of lead and silver ores, while 1908 is believed to have produced 150,000 tons or Just 100 times that of 1885. Ths lead output constitutes over 37 per cent of the total lead' production of the United States. Possibly 7,000,000 ounces of silver can be added to this. Divi dends amounting to $6,000,000 a year have been paid in the Coeur d'Alene dis trict. There is an annual pay roll to 3500 miners amounting to $4,500,000, About 800 miners are -engaged In pros pecting on working properties In which they hold on Interest. The dividends paid to date to holders of stock in prop erties in this district exceed by several millions all the money invested in the development and equipment of proper ties. lead Districts Unchangid. ' - While new copper, sliver and gold ore districts are being discovered in all sec tions of the world, the lead districts re main the same, thus with an increasing demand the market price will in tha future Increase rather than lower.
