The Military Board not Decided as to
a Camp Place.


The military department is not at
all sanguine that the next encamp-
ment of the State troops will be held
at Whitmore Lake. The grounds are
regarded as too small, and the rail-
road facilities inadequate. The choice
at present lies between Island Lake.
Lansing, and Whitmore Lake-Mack-
mac Island being out of the question
and the matter will probably be de-
cided at next weeks meeting of the
military board.
There is general feeling that the
site selected ought to be permanent
one, and Island Lake is the most GEN.

of any now under consideration.-De-

in which that establishment has
gone back on its contract to sup

the Statesman that the Tribune
will not print the Constitution.
They have the Statesman's word
for it and nothing more. The
Tribune may call this business, but
it is the kind of business that
won't win in the long run. We
have ordered Constitutions else

time for next week.

HOT SPRINGS HERD OF SHORT
ROkN CATTLE.
Robert Strahorn 6 Co., Proprietors,
HALEY Idaho.

The Hot Springs Herd of Short
Horn Cattle was practically founded
in June, 1888, by the importation
from Kentucky of 125 head ofregis.
tered animals. The herd was
selected by Robert Strahorn & Co..
with reference to establishing a,
HALEY Hot Springs a permanen,
breeding and dairy farm from
which Idaho and neighboring States
and Territories could select the very
best type of homegrown, robust
pure-bred cattle with which to grade
up native herds.
No pains or expense were spared
to secure animals which would best
unite the best beef and dairy quail.
tiles. Hot Springs Herd contains
choice representatives from such
famous Kentucky herds as those oil
Abram Remck, J. S. Owsley, Cecil &
Jones, B. G. Mullins, J. NJ. Bigstafl
and others. Their breeding for beet
cannot be excelled in Kentucky OF
any other country, while their fine
milking qualities are daily attest.
ed by some fifty superb milk COWS
composing the Hot Springs Dairy.
Hot Springs Herd is now thor
oughly acclimated. Excepting the
milk cows the herd has made its
own living on the hills near HALEY
during the past winter There is
not an overfed, pampered or sickly
animal in it. The increase, num-
bering some sixty head, are largely
of Idaho birth and raising. 1t will
be apparent to any breeder that
such a herd offers far better selec.
ton than any shipment fresh from
the East. Its owners are in Idaho
to stay. They have a reputation to
make and propose making it by
selling only that which will bear
the closest inspection and by rep
resenting individual animals
exactly as they are.
Among families of Short Horns
noted the world over for their
superiority over the palmer bred
types of the breed the Hot Springs
Herd embraces "Renick Rose of
Sharons, ""Duchesses," 'Red Rose"
Young Mary's," Phyllis" and
"Airdries." The prevailing color is
beautiful red-in fact out of
nearly 200 head in the Hot Springs
Herd there are only four animals
possessing other predominating
colors.
The grandsire of Airdrie of Elmot
and duchess 30 of Hot Springs
Herd is the 4th Duke of Geneye,
who sired the $4,000 Duke of
Oneida, and himself sold for sc, 900.
Rosebud 81 and Duke of Mount
Auburn 5 of this herd are also
direct descendants ofthe very finest
Short Horns known, and themselves
sold for $500 as soon as weaned.
There is not a vicious animal in
this grand herd. This prevailing
trait in Snort Horn Cattle makes
them especially desirable for family
use. 1t is also fact well known
among breeders that the first cross
of Short Horns upon native stock
almost invariably improves the dis
position as well as the form of the
progeny.
No better move can be made in
laying the foundation for a dairy
than good selection from the Hot
Springs Herd.
In order to make know the
merits of this herd, the proprietors
offer few choice animals of both
sexes for sale very low for cash for
the next sixty days.
