Save the forests

This article praises President Theodore Roosevelt for his conservationist efforts, and as a result, protecting western forest lands from politicians such as Senator Charles William Fulton of Oregon and Senator Weldon Brinton Heyburn of Idaho. Rich men with interests in the timber industry claim that they oppose forest reserves for the sake of poor settlers needing land, but the forest reserves do not negatively impact settlers.

Pages from the Pocatello Tribune

The first page of an issue of the Pocatello Tribune includes a cartoon titled “Accidentally stepped on something. (The Wooley appointment and the Statesman.), which depicts the Republican elephant stepping on the tail of a cat labeled “Statesman.” On the second page, an article argues in favor of Hyrum S. Woolley’s appointment as assayer in Boise, and suggests that the Idaho Statesman only opposes Woolley’s nomination because he is a Mormon, and because a man that the Statesman supported did not get the position. The article argues that the rest of the Idaho Republicans support Woolley.

The Congressional Record reports a portion of a conversation between several senators regarding railroad grant lands owned by the Northern Pacific and Southern Pacific Railroads. Congress granted the railroads lands with the condition that they would sell them to settlers, but the companies have not been holding up their end of the bargain. The Department of Justice is taking the matter under investigation.

Inquiry as to certain western land grants

Inquiry as to certain western land grants

Senator Charles William Fulton, of Oregon, proposes an amendment authorizing and instructing Attorney General Charles J. Bonaparte to begin suits in Oregon relating to the present land grant cases. While Bonaparte may have already had the authority to do this without such a resolution, passing such a resolution assuages some of the worries of the Justice Department regarding its ability to prosecute such suits. Debate on this resolution centered around whether such a resolution was necessary, and around some of the facts of the land grant cases.
