The only suggestion the JOURNAL

they appoint R. NJ. McCollum as
game warden and have the present
law with prehaps a few slight
changes properly enforced, it will
be found to be all right, but the
warden cannot be lecturing in
Missouri and at the same time
enforce the laws in Idaho.

1t is estimated that by the time
the actual construction work is
begun on national irrigation works
the reclamation fund will have
reached about s15,OOO,O0O. The
people of the west are naturally
anxious to have the government
begin work, and with thist large
fund in sight it is hoped that CON
struction will be commenced At the
earliest possible date. Thousands
of homeseekers are waiting to
occupy the arid lands and build
homes thereon as soon as water fer ,
irrigation is o5tainablc.

Strangers in Shoshone who

gain good impression of tho sub

community as whole.
They are now occupying a
spacious, well lighted double store
room, having, during the last year
been compelled to add more room
to handle their enormous and
rapidly increasing trade, with a
stock of goods as varied as the
wants OF the large territory to be
supplied, and this firm presents to
the buying public an array of real
bargins which oanaot be excelled
in any of the larger cities, all
things considered.
During The past year they have
been compelled to build new

resembles that of Ike Weir. the Belfast

OF being a clown: He would go. through
the funniest kind of gyrations In order
to deceive his opponent ~ 10 his inteh-
tions. Grim did this when he started out
as pugilist He went through all sorts
of contortions to rattle his rival, and sue
ceeded in doing So He would smile in
a CHASTITY way, throw his hands in the air
describe circles. gesticulate wildly and cut
UP like an Indian on the warpath. Those
monkey shines made him notorious and
attracted attention. Now Grim aspires
to fight jim Jeffries, and says that the cham.

rounds.
Several prominent physicians OF Phila-
