Again we file protest against the
indiscriminate and wholesale slaughter
of game in this country. II the wan
ton destruction of game and fish con-
tinues for another year or two, we will
have to look somewhere else for our
sport. In previous issue of the Press,
We published the game law, again we
publish for the benefit of our friends. n
section of the game law that has par
ticular bearing on this subject. Sec
ton ',Ss. of Title II of the Revised
Statutes of Idaho, says: 1T is unlaw-
full for any person, at any time, to kill
or destroy any of the game mentioned
in the last section; meaning buffalo,
deer, elk or mountain sheep; solely for
the purpose of obtaining their hides or
horns, or to chase the same with dogs;
or to ship the same out of the territory
for speculative purposes. "Any person
SO doing, is liable to a fine of twenty
five or one-hundred dollars. There are
three hunting parties in the vicinity of
Spirit lake, who are killing deer under
contract for parties in this city. We
do not object 10 our markets selling
/ venison: but we do object to hunters
making wholesale business of it.
Aud so greedy are they for the few
paltry dollars, that they kill the little
fawps that have the spots still on the ]
silky coats: poor things. didn't know
enough to get out of harms way. A

peared at the Post Hall last night be-
fore a large audience, which was ready
to applaud her every effort, merely be-
cause they have retained most pleasant
impressions Of her visit here two years
ago. Although she was then consid-
cred good elocutionist, her perform
ance last light showed the effect of
two years study and demonstrated the
fact that the Lady is possessed of ex-
traOrdinary power as an elocutionist
and rare dramatic talent.
General Carlin and his aide came
down from Wallace on the steamer
Cakes on Wednesday. 1t is expected
the troops will soon be withdrawn from

The Spokane Sun has found someone

reward for their labor.

been with the band for number of

He left here with his family on the 9th

Increased pay to non-commissioned
officers and the establishment of a
Quartermaster's Corps have been
strongly recommended by the general
commanding the army. These are re-
cogniZed needs for the ,betterment of
the service and the sooner consumatel
the better for the army. The forms-
ton of Q. n. Corps would at once re-
turn more than 500 men to duty with
their companies and put an end to a
serious cause for discomfort. The in
crease of pay 10 non-commissioned of.
ficers will tend to create a better class
of enlistments and fill the positions
with competent men. A good scheme
would be to make examinations CON-
petitive, and have them open to all
men with one year or more service, but
to make no appointments without re-
quiring candidate to pass strict ex
animation as to his qualifications. not
only mentally, but as regards ability to
control men. Congress will no doubt he
appealed to this winter, to pass these
measures, and those interested will
keep close watch upon legislative mat
tiers during the next session. Will the
democrats help the army in any way?
That is the question.

The Fourth Infantry band has BEEN
without good drum-major for year,.
But the man who now fills that posi-
ton, is credit to the band and to the

ing appearance, he can not be excelled.
without his presence the band dwindles
into insigniticance. His presence with
the baton lends additional lustre
TO the band as an organization.
