tension of time for the removal of such
timber ;t the -hands -of the Idaho legis

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. O'Neill, chairman of the Re
publican ..state central committee, In a
public 'Interview, stated that there
would be no opposition, to the return of
Idaho's senior' senator. As Mr. O'Neill
has been mentioned as the chief oppo

Dairying Is Chief Industry
- of the Rich . Columbia
liner Country.
" (Special DUpatch to The Journal.)
Granddalles, Wash.. Dec. 19. The
dairy industry in the immediate vicinity
of this place is a 'wonder to a stranger
alighting from the North, Bank railway
and greeted by weary-.. wastes of sand
and sage brush. He would not believe
that enough forage existed-' to provide
food for a jackrabblt.
J. T. Rorlck, Justice of the peace at
Grandalles, has over 100 milch cows
that help to furnish milk for The
Dalles consumers. This product 'from
Granddalles is from the Spring Brook
farm of J. T. 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. One traveling across the sand dune
from the Columbia river and not accus
tomed to tne country wouia not aream
of dairies .being a known quantity in
this saudy expanse of country, for it
appears a more - fit abode for rattle
snakes and tarantulas, for coyotes and
sage rats than lor dairies.
The Gil more farm Is large, and has
been visited many times In the years
gone by by noted personages. Mrs. adi
arall Scott Duniwav used to find sreat
pleasure, in -visiting tne uumore place in
tne eariy seventies.
Here in a cove among-the stiver ma
pies is the dairy, with its cooling equip
ment, and all things necessary to an
11D to date dalrv. Mr. ' Gllmore milks
over 60 Jerseys, sending the product to
The Dalles every morning, besides ship
ping some to Portland. i
Other dairies are in operation on the
wasnington siae or ine river in iuicki
tat county. Most of the cream, however.
Is used In making creamery butter that

DAM STREAMS
TO FIGHT. FIRES
Forestry. Association Seeks
to Protect Valuable
White Pine,
(Special Dlioatcb to The Journal.!
Spokane, Wash., Dec. 19. 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. The reser
voirs will also Increase the rainfall.
A. Li. Flewe line of 8roKane. chair
man of the committee on-conservation
will leave for Washington. D. C. early
next year to discuss the matter with
Mr. Plnchot and endeavor to enlist fed
eral aid In financing the project. The
cost of building a lake of 20 miles will
not be more than $50,000. As most of
the dams are to be built on reserves it
Is believed the government tirlll support

The Ethics of Cannibalism.
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.

Strip out that has been made by Mr.

Tuesday marnlng for the camp and will
not return to the'lowar country for sev

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

reached a stage where fine showings are
being made.

-Delta. 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-

depth of $200 feet without showing signs

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 year 1885 is credited with 1S0O

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

of silver can be added to this. Divi
