Vineland Management.

Prof A. B. Leckenby, an expert of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day. Prof. Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
and has spent many years in study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit Of years of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with man s independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as we'll as the
company, and are found to work we'll
in practice.

The normal school sidewalk
seems to have suffered from a
spasm of public economy after it
was half done.

The Bitter Root timber reserves
include the mining districts of the
Clearwater basin. The govern
ment timber reserves regulations
necessarily interfere with the
development of these camps. If
the subject should be presented in
its true light to the government
authorities these mining camps
would be set out of the reserves.
The sole purpose of the timber
reserves is to protect the forests
by regulations that will restrict
the use Of timber and protection
against fires and other waste. To
have the timber in these mining
districts would be to effectually
prevent the working of the mines
in some Instances and to retard
their development in all cases.
This is not in accordance with the
policy Of the government. 1t was
not the intention to include great
mining camps in these reserves
and it will be an easy matter upon
proper representation to get the
Buffalo, Mallick and Florence dis.
tricts set out of the limits of the
reserve. This is question that
interests all business men of the
Clearwater basin especially, and il
should be taken in hand by com.
mercial organizations all over the
district at once. Then one may
reason for this change; one good
reason is that the timber in the
mining camps named is moi
valuable for other than mining
purposes. 1t is mostly small
pines unfit for lumber or other
uses that would ever justify
transportation to market. This
timber, though, is especially suited
to the various uses of miners. The
business men OF Lewiston should
take this matter in hand and
petition the president to change
the boundary lines OF the Bitter
Root reserves so that these mining
camps will be left out.

Idaho's New Game Law.

The principal features Of the new game
law passed the last legislature are as fol-
lows:
A fish and game warden shall he APP
pointed, who must enforce all laws relat-
ing to game and fish. He, in his turn
must appoint in each county deputy,
whose compensation shall consist of one
hall OF all fines recovered upon prose
cution of violations of the existing law.
No moose or caribou can be killed for
FIVE years. The open season of deer,
mountain sheep and mountain goat is
from Sept. Ist to Dec 81 st, and only four
of such animals may be killed in any one
year, by any one person, during such
period. Elk are protected from Dec Ist
to Sept. st of each year and only two of
such animals may be lawfully DESTROYED
during such time. Quail cannot be kill
ed, except Oct. 3Ist and Dec. Ist of each
year. Partridge, phersnats, grouse, prair-
lie chickens and fool hens only between
Aug. 18th and Feb. Ist.
1t shall be unlawful for any person or
persons to catch or kill any species of
fish, except salmon, carp, club, mullet,
sucker, shad, white fish and sturgeon in
any OF the streams, rivers, lakes, reser-
voirs or waters lying within the state of
Idaho, with any seine, net or any spear
wire fence, basket, trap, gillnet, setnet
or any other continuance except hook
and line attached to pole or held in the
hand. Provided that no fish shall be
taken by any method, except for breed
ing, between the first day of November
and the first day of the succeeding year.
For conviction or violating the law a
fine must be imposed of not less than $50,
nor more than $Ioo, together with cost
OF suit, or imprisonment in the county
jail for not more than six months or both,
if any other means but line and hook are
used; for catching any fish, except for
breeding, the penalty consists of fine
OF not less than $40 or more than $50 and
cost for each and every offense. II is the
duty of the fish and game warden, his
deputies, and ofevery seriff city marshal,
constable and city officer within their
respective jurisdiction to see that these
laws are enforced. They can make ar
rests, without warrant, for any violation
OF any of the provisions of the act and
any justice OF the peace, probate Judge or
municipal judge has jurisdiction within
their respective district.

Ex-senator Tabor Dead.

Ex-senator Tabor of Colorado slied
Monday in Denver. He has been a
conspicuous figure in the west for a
number of years. He arose from the
estate of the common miner to that Of
the millionaire. He always possessed
some of the elements of the commouer
while he played the role of the proflipate
aristocrat
the common people never lost faith in
him entirely but their faith was shaken at
times. When he discarded his faithful,
wife who had shared early trials and
struggles their faith received almost a
fatal shock. He welded woman nj
culture but the disgrace of the act OF
divorcing faithful wife for policy
followed him to his grave.
Though Senator Tabor forfeited his
claim for popular favor sympathy took
the place of positive friendship after
he lost his great fortune. He was given
the position of post master in the civ Of
Denver in response to the appeals of
sympathetic friends by President Nc.
kinley and he died in that Office.

Lewiston is en1oyinp a

Lewiston is enjoying big pay
roll at this time over fifty buildings
are in course of construction in
addition to the bridge. A large
number Of men are engaged at this
work and they receive good wages.
This condition will continue
through the summer. II would
be well however to look forward
to time when this labor should
be turned to some other occupation
beside the permanent improvements
of the city and vicinity. To sup
port this army of laborers it is
necessary that we should establish
factories of some kind. The future
of the city depends upon the sup
port of the laboring class in our
midst. The mills are nucleus for
for factories that will support a
large force Of workers. The tim
Der products to meet the demand
of an extensive trade should be
manufactured at this point. The
saving to the country would be
very great aside from the question
of support for our working people,

Official Paper of Nez Perez County.

While capital is seeking invest
ment in mining interests it is the ac-
cepted time to institute move
ment toward establishing ore
reduction works at this point.
Lewiston is destined to be a
smelter center and the investor
who gets in OH the ground floor
will have better proposition than
the mine owner who has ote to

There are reasons for the belief
that Lewiston valley orchard and
garden lands will be the most
valuable farming lands in the
United States. We can raise more
specially valuable crops here than
in any other section outside of the
tropics. There can be no failure
of crops in this climate and with
our facilities for irrigation. There
can be no question of market with
a dozen cities and mining camps
within reach. Any one of dozen
special crops will yield a harvest
on every acre of this land that will
sell for $500.

The DeLamar Nugget SAYS
Manager Huntley of the Del ANA,
mines practically admits the
statement reported in the papers
that his company has bonded the
Star group in the Mallick district.
This confirmation should give
Mallick district high standing in
the mining world. This con-
sentative English company would
not invest $445, 900 in a proposition
that was not we'll beyond con-
lecture as to values. The fact
that this strong company has
acquired large interests in the dis
trict is a matter for congratulatiu,.

the importance of that quarter OF

to the present time this important

country style but there is not a
thoroughfare that would justify
the distinction of being called a
street. The old Camas Prairie

ingress and egress if mud and dust

grades at all times are not con-
sidered distractions. These steep
and stony and dusty roads. were
first COW trails, then they were

There is nothing strange or
startling in the report that the ore
in IS foot shaft on the Big
Buffalo mine is not as rich as it
was on the surface or at the bot
tom OF ten foot hole. 1t is not
expected that any ledge will prove
upon development to be uniformity
rich throughout. 1t is not ex.
pected that all sections of any
ledge will even pay for working.
In large ledge like the Big
Buffalo there must be barren
chutes. Extensive development is
necessary in all mines to determine
the location and extent of the pay
chute. After the showing that
has been made on the Buffalo
there would be nothing alarming
ii the bottom of a 35-foot hole
should show small values. A As.
foot shaft on ledge of great size
would count for very little in the
way of development. To explore
great ledge it would be necessary
to move aud drift hundreds of feet
and until such extensive work has
been done no conservative mining
man will draw conclusions from
results on a proposition of the
magnitude of the Big Buffalo.
Therefore from the standpoint of
man it is evident that un-
due conclusions have been pro-
claimed about this property. This
points to some ulterior reason. It
s not necessary to look for reason. |
The holders of the bond on this
nine desire to purchase it out
light in advance Of the time named
n the bond. They want to pay
ash for the property. OF course
hey want to make as good
as possible. They have
proposed to the original owners
o make the payments in advance
t they could get a big discount.
t is reasonable that this story was
It least given undue publicity by
he holders of the bond for the
purpose of frightening the men
1ith whom they were deal
ng. The surmise is borne out by
he fact that the original owners
t the mine have been pressed to
lake a discount for cash on l
efered payments even since the
Icts published have been known. !
may be true that the values of s
lie ore in the bottom of this shaft :
e lower than those of the surface. :
fact it is geneally conceded that s
Ich is the fact. Upon the other 3
and 1t is know that the present s
'lders of the bond on the Big &
iffalo have been offered and now &
we the offer of bonus for their 8
md. Therefore, with all the
velopments of the past two
.eks in Buffalo camp matters 3
= public has the best possible s
'of of its richness. &
