Pres. Roosevelt hugely enjoyed day

heights of the Sierras. He was

true athletic delight, accompanied by
few trusted friends. The people
received him as an old friend, so much

TIE IDAHO FOOD LAW
~, Applied to Oils.

The Idaho food law passed by the
seventh legislature, contains section
providing that cit shall be unlawful
for any person, corporation Or assocl-
alton to sell or offer to sell, any coal
oil, naptha, gasoline, benzine or any
mineral oils or fluids, the product OF
petroleum, that will ignite at tenn
perature less than $50 degrees Fahren-
heit," etc. This test is so high as to
be prohibitive as regards Standard
OIL products at present, except for
illuminating" purposes. Those u.s.
sng gasoline for power would be the
sufferers. From the New West Trade
we learn that Oil Commiss Foner Nc
PherSon has given permission to con-
tinue the sale under old re gulations
until June lst, and that 1t is believed
he will examine the subject and sc
construe the law as to probably allow
the trade in the product for power
purposes to continue.
1t would appear from the above
chat the law is not sufficiently COM
prehensive, for If it does not apply tt
oil for Illuminating nor power pur
poses how does it apply?

Fish Destroyed by Thousands.

Owing to an oversight in building
the reservoir dam at Flat Creek on
the St. Maries river, no provision was
made for a fish schultz or ladder, Sc
that fish cannot get up stream. Ac-
cording to the St. Maries Courier,
there are swarms of fish at the dam.
They swim up the apron and jump
out Of the water, dying by thousands.
This is something which demands the
immediate attention of the game
warden, for the damage done by vio-
lators of the game law In years would
not equal what Is done by the dam in
one day. The Courier declares that
If steps are not taken soon, there will
be no more trout fishing in the st.
Maries river.

The Deitand for State Lands.

Chief Clerk Norman jackson, of
the Idaho state land department, has
the following to say In regard I'd gra-
ling lands:
The increased demand for State
lands for grazing purposes is most
gratifying, and wide-awake stockmen
and ranchers in every county are ap-
plying for tracts that are most con-
venient and desirable. Vast quanti-
ties Of land heretofore open to the
public are being fenced a nd the re-
ceipts for rental will materially swell
the common school fund. The ln-
come from this source has increased
at a surprising rate. Owe $11, 900
has been received on new leases thus
far during 1903, while the total re-
ceipts on new leases in 1902 were but
SITS. Many live stock owners are
not aware that all school land is sub
ject to lease at prices ranging from
IL! to % cents per acre per annum.
Duplicate records of lands Of each
county are kept by the County Treas
urer and are open for pubic inspec-
tion, thus making it possible for any
interested person to learn the status
of any piece without trouble or delay.
The treasurers of the various countie.
as we'll as the State Land Depart
ment, will be pleased to furnish full
information upon application either
! by mail or in person.
