THE GRIZZLIES OF IDAHO.


Speaking Of grizzly bears, said
Judge Henry !. Warren OF Albuquerque,
I'VE didn't look on these animals a.
particularly dangerous in Idaho when
was the United States district attorney
Of that territory. If man attacked ono
ut close quarters. he sometimes got kill
ed. but at little distance not much
more attention was paid TO bears than il
they had been so many hogs or cattle.
Between human beings and the bears
there seemed 10 be at that time tacit
agreement 10 let one another alone.
"One 81 my hardest horseback trips
led me through wild region where
often saw bears. At one point the trail
crossed an open valley. dotted with scat.
tering big trees and clumps OF under
brush. and on the farther side wound
up steep mountain sido through thick
oak and pine woods. Coming down into

You can judge somewhat Of the size
of the cities by the reservoirs that were

the size of the city from the size Of the
