SHEEP PRICES UNSTEADY.
Chicago Market is Now an Uncertain
Quantity.

The Chicago Livestock World gives
the following review of the sheep
market:
There was strong delegation of
feeder buyers with the usual results.
Eastern demand was only fair, Buff
falo reporting about 600O.
Prices were anywhere from steady
to quarter higher. Native quality
was inferior, bulk of lambs going for
S6m6.5O, although 81 was paid for
the best and buyers expressed de-
sire to pay $3.50 for the right kind.
Choice Idaho lambs sold UP to
$40 but most of the western lambs
We're in the 81 class. Feeders were
almost an unknown quantity, packers
grabbing them. one lot made secs.
Western sheep were as scarce as
hens teeth. A band of choice Idaho
ewes and wethers worth about $4.S5
week ago made $40. Native sheep
sold mostly at S4.50@475. There
was a good demand for stock ewes
mostly at S4.75G5.
The light run Is attributed to sew
eral causes. chief among them being
the strike, buying by spectators out
west and scarcity of cars.

NEW IRRIGATION SCHEME.
SinlSer Creek Farmers VIII Reclaim
10000 Acres I'm Idaho.

Charles Childs, of this city, who is
head of an irrigation project to water
10000 acres of land on Sinker creek,
in OWyhee coUrtv, arrived home the
first of the week, says the Boise Cap
ital News. The plan comprises a dam
100 feet high and $500 feet in length
to be built on Shaker creek about
eight miles down from the mountains.
The reservoir thus formed will hold
$4,000 acre feet of water.
Sinker creek is the we'll known
trout stream of Owyhee county, and
never carries less than 1000 inches of
water The headwaters drain the
north slopes of some high mountins
which lnsures a large volume of water
until late in the season without resort
to storage reservoirs. Many of the
finest ranches in the state are found
along the valley Of Sinker creek, and
the land to be reclaimed is said to
be fully as good as that now in cul-
tlvation.
Mr.. Chllds has completed his sur
veys and finds his plan entirely feasi-

TROUT IN "BONDAGE."
Illegal Lakes in Idaho Contained Tons
of Fish.

State Game Warden w. n. stephens
returned to the city Thursday, after
an absence of some weeks. and gives
an interesting account of the action
Of himself and his deputies in turn
ing the fish from the so-called "pri-
vate fish ponds" at Henry lake ,Fre-
mont county, says the Boise States
man. The enormous quantity of be-
tween 20 and 25 tons of trout were
set free and allowed to go down the
north fork of the Snake river, whence
they had originally come, according
to the game warden.
The pond consisted of only about an
acre of ground and during the first
days work 11,720 trout, averaging
perhaps a pound each, were counted
leaving the enclosure, and il was stat
ed there were more the second day,
although no count was made. AS a
conservative figure, Mr.. Stephens
places the total amount of fish in this
one pond at over 10 tons.
Mr.. Stephens states there was not
"A single legal fish found in the pond

constructed from a small inlet, being
divided from the main lake by an ar

by springs, We're always cool and the

by the thousands into the shady
ponds, when the gates would be clos

In smoking tobacco we take In car

The ammonias and nicotine are the

The stomach is dcbilitated and dyS

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
Some Facts Concerning II That Are
Not Generally known.


Though every schoolboy presumably
knows to a nicely where the Cape of
Good Hope is situated, there does un-
doubtedly prevail In less enlightened
circles some vagueness of conception
as to the exact locality Of that cele-
brated headland. Even the gentle
reader is family conscious Of uncer-
talnty and answers with briskness
not born of conviction: 'The Cape Of
Good Hope? Why, of course l know
where 1t Is. Down at the end OF South
Africa" Gentle reader, you are not
very far out. fifty or hundred miles
perhaps. And. as you say, it Is not of
the slightest consequence from prac-
tical point of view.
The Cape of Good Hope lies at con-
siderable distance from the end and is,
In fact, the middle Of the three promon-
tories, severally inconspicuous, which

NEW Dlaz first encountered in full
force the prevalent southeasterly gales
and denounced the rugged, threaten
ing, threefold promontory under the
sounding appellation Of the Cape of

by pious, trustful hearts the Cape of
