Claiming Her Game

Miss Lucy Davis put in a claim to
the carcass Of the California lion
found dead west of this city a few
days ago.
Some months ago she saw what she
supposed to be a coyote prowling in
the rear of the Holstein ranch. She
took a shot at it with Winchester
rife at about two hundred yards dis
tance. She hit the animal for he
bounded in the air and rolled about
on the sand for nearly minute while
she was coming toward him. When
within a few yards, the wounded ami
NAL rose to his feet and she was as
tonished to find that she was at rath-
er close quarters with a California
line. AS she raised the rifle for a
second shot the animal bounded into
the sagebrush and started toward the
North Carson mine. She followed out
could only catch an occasional glimpse
of him as he treaded his way through
the sagebrush. She got several more
fying shots at him at long range
but failed to bag the game.
There were drops of blood on the
sand where the lion was first wound
ed. When Miss Davis described hei
adventure with the lion. it though
she had encountered an unusually
large coyote, as the California lion II

of the mountains. 1t is now eviden'
that she was not mistaken and ina

from her rifle which finally caused III

Wool Brought IA Cents

Evening Capital News, Boise, ldano;
Wool has touched IA cents.
This announcement will bring JOY
to the hearts of many sheep men
who have not been able to get a
better offer than 1S cents.
Ever since the wool market opened
the buyers have been talking IL cents
as the top price and spurned to look
A. wool whose owner held out for
better price.
Word was received today that for
the past two days the buyers nave
been paying IA cents at ayette, and
a few instances a shade better. VIII
son Bros. of which firm Edgar VIII
son of this city is a member, yester-
dav sold their clip of 1000 pounds
for IA cents straight They set their
price at this figure early in the season
and declined all offers at a less hgure
but last night Mr.. Slater, well
known buyer. offered them the price
asked and it was accepted.
The recent raise in the wool rate
to Boston by the railroads has been
used as a boga man by the buyers
and has enabled them to secure con-
siderable wool at a lower price pu'
from now on it can be said with safety
that the top price will be paid.

BENEFIT COMES DIRECT
What the Government Will
Do for Nevada

The first great irrigation system
to be constructed by the government
inder the law recently passed by con-
sress which provides that all money
collected from the sale of public lands
be used for the building of irrigation
reservoirs and canals in the states
where the money is collected, will be
constructed in Nevada.
Lake Tahoe will be damned at the
point where it empties into the
rruckee river and makes great res
ervoir.
The dam will be more than 20
feet high and the level OF the lake
will be raised fully 10 feet. The es-
timated area of this body of water
IS more than 300 square miles and
It is believed that by the construc-
ion of the dam and the raising OF the
AXE level 10 feet, a sufficient amount
,f water can be stored to irrigate
vast area of now worthless desert
and.
The promised system will consist
If about ESQ miles of canals and an
,ther large dam at a point on the
rruckee river about 20 miles from
rs source. There will be three main
anals to be known as the rruckee-
arson canal. the Lovelock canal and
he Pyramid lake canal. The first and
asst of these will be about 20 miles
length and the other about so miles
iong.
II IS estimated that about $500 sec
md feet of water will be used ano
hat at least 125.0O0 acres OF land
will be reclaimed.
The work will cost in the neignDof-
.ood of 81 100000. At what date tns
actual work will be commenced mas

oected that it will be done this sea-

The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1903-06-26

A statement has been given out
by leading politician from the
northwest that Hon. Frank II
Brownell of Everett is candi-
date for the nomination of COVER
nor subject to the will of the next
state Republican convention.
"This matter has been under dis
cussion for some time. 1t has
assumed definite shape now and
| think | can truthfully say that
Mr.. BroWnell will accept the
nomination if rendered to him.
and not only accept the nomina-
ton if rendered him, but will per-
nit his friends to work to that
end prior to the convening of the
next state convention. There is
very decided opposition to Gov
ernor Mcbride in the northwest,
and some man who is sufficiently
popular to not only get the most
of the counties of the northwest
but to even carry the governors
home county against him has been
sought to pit against him for gov
ernor, and such man has been
found III Mr.. Brownell and the
northwest will go to the next
state convention a unit for him. "
1t will be remembered that Mr..
BroWnell was a candidate for the
congressional nomination as
against w. E. Humphrey last
year, but failed to land, though
he had host of friends in King
county, who were exceedingly
anxious to see him nominated. If
he now comes out for the guber-
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1903-06-26

Material nomination and can
promise King county anything
along senatorial lines, it is highly
probable that he will get the sup
port of her entire delegation OF
course there is another guberna-
torial candidate in the northwest
in the person of Hon. c. I. Roth,
but it is believed that the two
will fix up their differences and
the weaker candidate give the
strongest one a clear field, and
BroWnell's friends say if such an
agreement as that is ever entered
into he, BrOwnell, will be the
northwest candidate, owing to the
fact that Jefferson county will
most likely be for him. Both
Roth and BrOWnell have decided
upon one thing and that is to beat
Governor Mcbride in Skagit
county, the governors home. The
governor seems to have already y
lost all of the other counties in
the northwest, and if his oppon-
ents can succeed in beating him
in his own county his political
goose will be cooked to a fare you
we'll finish. Brownell, as said
above, is very popular in King
county, and when the announce
ment was made that he would be
a candidate for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination it was
hailed with delight and many OF
the leading politicians at once de-
elared theft intention of support
ing nm and that, 100, without
qualifications.
