"I have no wur with the president.
That's all rot. In the main we agree.
If we dlsngrcc. It Ih an honest and
candid difference of opinion. There
Ih no war ut all."
Thus nnswered United suites Sena
tor W. H. Heyhurn of Idaho, today,
says the Portland Telegram, when
queried aiieiit his reputed martial re
unions with the national chief execu
tive with' reference to the creation of
forest reserves. Xot only Is there no
war with the president, says the sen
ator, 1ml the Idea that he Intends to
go into the senate and make things
sizzle Is "In the imagination of those
enterprising gentlemen.", Further
more, his action In congress will be
along conservative lines, quoth he.
"Will you oppose the president's
policy on the forest reserve question?"
was asked.
"That depends on what the policy
Is." returned the senator from Idaho.
"I am In favor of forest protection
thai shall leave the lands open to set
tlement by bona fide homesteaders. I
am In favor of government assistance
and co-operation to any extent neces
sary for the prevention of fires and
waste of timber."
"Are you oppuseil to the president's
policy ut the present time?"
"That's a broad question," was the
reply. "What the president's policy
is and what it has been said to be are
vastly different. I am opposed to the
withdrawal of the forests In Idaho
from settlement. 1 regard the settler
as the safest guardian of his own and
surrounding sections against fires.
"I am opposed to the laws and de
partmental regulations which have
transferred the large portion of the
railroad land grants In Washington.
Arizona and some other states and ter
ritories to Idaho, by means of a sys
ten of exchanges of lands surrendered
In other states for lands to lie selected
In Idaho. Thus. In effect.' transferring
the land grants in other states and
territories to Idaho, which, under a
misinterpretation of the letter and
spirit of the law by the Interior de
partment lias allowed the lands in al
t mate sections of such other states
and territories to be selected in solid
blocks, carrying vast ureas of the val
uable timber lands of Idaho, disre
garding the limitation of alternate
sections contained In the original land
grants to the railroads.
"The withdrawals of forest reserves
In Idaho to date Include more than
700.(1(10 acres of state school lands,
which under the admission act and
the constitution, have a minimum
value of $10 per acre. The lieu priv
ilege of selection of other lands for
these is of comparatively little value
In view of the fact that the withdraw
als from sale and selection cover the
only class of lands which would be
worth the mice at which state lands
could be sold for educational pur
poses.
"My actions in congress will be
along consevratlve lines for the res
toration of these lands to settlement
I . homesteaders. The withdrawals in
Idaho already amount In !i per rent
of the entire area of the state, with

SANDERS' SHOCKING SUICIDE.
Blows Ills Ilmini Out Willi n Gun at
Twin Falls.
Twin Falls. Idaho, Aug. 16. L. R.
Sanders, of Boise, who leaves a wife
and three children in Hnlse. commit
ted suicide by shooting here Just be
fore midnight last night, supposedly
as the result, either directly or indi
rectly of alcoholism. He hail beep
here for about two weeks, having the
contract for the plastering of the new
Hotel Perrlne.
For several days Sanders had been
drinking quite hard, and yesterday a
number of his friends took him out
shooting In the endeavor to straighten
him up. They returned late and went
to Wilson Bros.' carpenter shop. The
others retired, but Sunders kept mov
ing about. He entered the building
several times, but went out without
a gun each time. About 11:30 he
found all the tnmntes asleep and pick
ing up a gun went out again.
He went to the side of the building
on a vacant lot and It Is supposed
that he put the muzzle of the gun In
his mouth and, reaching down, pull
ed the trigger. Prnctlcally the en
tire top of his head was blown off..
No reason except his excessive
drinking Is known here for his rash
act, which seems to have been entire
ly premeditated. After returning
from the shooting trip he had chang
ed his clothes, seemingly In prepara
tion for the tragedy.

Reading a Telegram.
There urc two members of the racing
fraternity, both ardent horse owners,
whose early education was sadly neg
lected, ami neither can read. Hutu
conceal to the best of their ability their
shortcomings in tills regard. One of
llieni received a telegram the other
day, lint lie could not read It anil did
not wish to expose his ignorance. lie
met the second horseman, and us he
was looking anything but pleasant he
was nccosteil with:
. "What's the matter? You look like
trouble."
"Trouble? Sure. Just read that."
And he thrust the telegram Into bis
friend's hands. ,
"Well, I should say It was trouble!"
was the unexpected reply. "I'm sorry
for you, old fellow." And the tele
gram was handed back, neither being
liny wiser as to Its contents.
At this juncture a stable boy came
whistling along, and the recipient nf
the message hailed him with a jocular
remark and after quizzing hi in awhile
said :
"I'll bet yifu can't read, son."
"Huh, that's where you're way off!
I kin read us good us you kin."
"Well, let's hear you rend that. If
you can It's u two bit piece for you."

straight, to win money cheerfully and
to lose It cheerfully, never to be boor
ishly In debt or swinishly drunk, to en
joy flowers and music, and if possible
to be In love with at least one good
woman, is half the duty of a gentle
man." "What's the otheu half, grandpa?"
I had asked him.
"Why, to be u gentleman, of course."

Provident Animals.
All birds of the crow tribe, rooks es
pecially, exhibit a tendency toward
winter like squfrrels and some other
animals to lay up a store of provisions
for their sustenance against a season
of scarcity. While Jackdaws select
holes of trees and old buildings to store
awny such provisions, rooks convey
them away to their rookeries. There In
last senson's uests they deposit them.
Towurd springtime, when they begin
thinking about setting their houses in
order, they visit their rookeries and
when rebuilding their nests throw out
the unused store. Thus It is we often
find an accumulation of acorns, pota
toes and what not on the ground under
their nests. Nature Notes.
