Notice to Teachers.

A teachers institute for Idaho
county, Idaho, will be held at Mt.
Idaho, commencing July ~, 1897,
and continuing through the week.
Program will be published later.
Owing to a difference Of opin ion as
to where these institutes should be
held, will leave the place of hold
ing that for 1898 to the choice Of
the teachers attending. Under
my Interpretation of the law / have
the right to revoke the certificate
of any teacher failing to attend
without good excuse. AS these in
stitutes are intended for the in
struction of the teachers and there
by advance the cause of education,
/ hope all holding certificates will
attend, so there will be no occa-
sion to enforce the law.
Trustees and the public general
ly are invited and urged to be
present. w. N. SCALES,

Brought in the Cubs.

The Hope Examiner says: Tom
McWilliams and Mr.. OeIette of
Clark's Fork went up to the head
of Mosquito creek few days ago
to examine a mining claim. They
ran across an old she bear with
three cubs; they shot the old bear
and then started in to capture the
cubs, which had scampcred up a
tree. Tcm went up the tree grab
bed a cub and started to descend.
The little animal scratched and
twisted 50 that its captor was
forced to stop and rest when about
thirty feet from the ground. A
short limb was near by, and he
thought it would be a good idea to
pitch the cub out ON that and thus
give his hands a rest, so he flung
the bear away from him, but it
missed the limb and fell to the
ground. Mr.. Delete seized it and
tied it securely. One of the cubs
got away, but they secured the
other two. The men didn't know
how to carry the bears to camp as
they refused to keep still. Final
ly Mr.. Oelette thought of a plan.
He wore overalls but no pants, and
as the weather was warm he con-
cluded that he could dispense with
the ovcralls, SO he took them off,
tied a knot in the legs, showed u
cub down each leg of the overalls,
slung them over his shoulder
and marched into camp in Il
drenching rain. Tom said he
would have given so for kodak.
The cubs are now chained up and
are doing well.
