Indian Territory where he says
the birds thrive more readily than
in any other part of our country,
and he sought ~ enlist for such a
movement the sympathies of men
high in the councils of the govern
ment.
The American Field is heartily
DESTROYS of such reservations for
several reasons. Many thousands
of acres of land in that part of the
country are idle or used solely for
grazing, and could be put to no bet
ter use as reservations for the
preservation of and propagation of
one of our choicest gifts from ma
tule-the beautiful and useful game
birds. Action should be taken
promptly, for a few years hence
the lands may be settled and the
most favorable opportunity lost.
Aagin, the growing scarcity of
game demands active measures, if
the animals and birds shall be
perpetuated; and without interior
ing with the work of states in that
direction, the strong arm of the
government can supplement their
efforts most effectively by estab-
fishing such reservations. The
stern enforcement of the Lacey law
is proof of the manner in which the
United States deals with trans
gressors.
Most devoutly it is hoped this
matter may be brought before the
next congress, and that more such
reservations may be legalized and
appropriations made therefor. If
such shall be the result of this
suggestion, those who have borne
the laboring oar may rest assured
that future generations will rise uT
and bless them. American Field.

by the name of McWilliams. The
adoption as sanctioned by the Nez
Perez tribe, to which Eliza's par
ents for unknown generations had
been prominent in council. The
adoption was in accordance with
tribal customs and the ceremony
was interesting and spectacular.
The McWilliam family apparently
never realized the necessity or inn
portance of adopting the dusky
maiden in the white mans court.
They thought that as long as they
conformcd to the laws and customs
of the Indians that the pretty little
maiden was legally their own.
When the foster parents died the
white relatives took possession of
the property, leaving Eliza with
nothing but the name of her foster
parents and their memory. She
has taken the matter into court to
again possession OF the fine farm.

$500 for Half Acre of Strawberries

D. M. Ragon, who owns one of
the finest improved ranches in the
county, aobut four miles northwest
of Meridian, was in the city today
with a load of fine strawberries.
He states that with little less
than half an acre of fruit, from
his spring crop he received $500.
He is now picking the second
crop and has already marketed
more than $50 worth, and if the
good weather continues a few days
longer the last crop will amount to
another $50. Capitol News.

turned off and they are allowed to

is again turned on, the vines be-
come green, begin to grow, blossom
and bear fruit.

There are several million acres

CHICAGO SHEEP MARKET

w. r. Smith writes from Chicago
under date of October Il.
Official receipts Of sheep and

and receipts for this week will be
about 1870, 600. Receipts for the
first four days being 116, 7o7, or
So, 612 less than the first four days
of last week, and today's receipts
will be about $4,000. Shipments
for the first four days of last
week were 72,11o, and for the
same four days this week 90, 293,
making the shipments only s, 1920
less than the same time last week,
making almost as, 600 less to the
killers than last week.
Monday with receipts 9,159,
about one third of them being ac-
cumuated from the previous week
on account of the trains making
bad time, the market opened with
prices much about the same on both
sheep and lambs at the close Of last
week. Since Monday, however,
prices have gradually firmed on
both fat sheep and lambs, choice
lambs selling 40 to soc higher, a
good many of them selling up TO
S7.75, while feeding lambs have
also shared in the advance, the
bulk of them selling from SO. 90 to
$6.65, with a few extra good ones
with a little kill to them selling up
to $6.75.
Ewes and wethers have sold 25c
higher than the close of last week,
the range now being $500 $5.25
for good to choice ewes, with breed
ers as usual selling from S5.25 to

BY the time you receive this,
the shipping season will be prac-

not care to receive a circular that

almost deseI ted the North American
continent.
Several decades since the neces-
sity of protection for the remaining
fauna of the country became ap-
parent, and sentiment thereto
having been fostered, protective
measures of more or less stringency
were enacted by the legislatures
of the states, with view of per-
petuating the supply of game.
From time to time, when existing
conditions appeared to demand
further legislation, these laws have
been amended and new ones have
been passed, all with the same in
tent; but unfortunately in the con-
stantly growing army of shooters
many may be found who pay little
respect to game laws, and it is inn
possible to compel obedience to these
laws in the case of every man who
goes forth with a gun, especially
when a game warden has a wide
stretch of country to patrol.
The rapid settlement of lands and
the growing scarcity of game flor
various causes, some of which have
been noted) has caused the forma-
ton of many shooting clubs, the
members of which purchase or lease
desirable tracts of land, wherein
they may preserve the game usual
ly birds-and shoot during the le-
gal open seasons. Some states have
taken up the propagation of game
birds of some varieties, in order
to replenish the supply of small
game and although these efforts
are as yet largely expei mental, it
would seem that state and national
game preserves are most feasible
adjuncts to the preservation of our
game. That our national Legislators
have been impressed with this view
seems evident from the Fact that
the game of the Yellowstone Ma
tional park is rigidly protected by
soldiers of the army, and national
forest reservation for buffaloes has
been established in the Wichita
mountains, in Oklahoma, as well
as game reservations in several
other states.
The subject of more national res
ervations for game, especially
game birds, was presented recently
to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
and other officials at Washington
by Charles Payne, of Wichita, Kan
sas, who is well known as a dealer
in game animals and birds for
stocking purposes, and who has beer
an observer of the fauna of our
country for many years. Mr..
Payne firmly believes that prompt
measures should be taken to pre-
serve the game birds by establish
ing several large reservations in
the southwest-Oklaho or the

GAME PRESERVES
THE ONLY HOPE
Expert Opinion That They
Must be Created in Or
der to Save Game
From Extinction.

Within the memory of many
old-time sportsmen feathered and
furred game was so abundant in
the forests, on the plains, prairies
and broad savannas of the portion
of North America incldued in
the United States that the ex-
tinction of any species seemed at
that time highly improbable, if
not impossible. The earlier settlers
were truer sportsmen than many
who followed them, for they killed
the game animals and birds which
were so plentiful only to procure the
means OF subsistence in a virgin
country, where crops could be raised
and sustenance for domestic crea-
lures be had only after much hard
labor had subdued the wild land to
an arabic condition.
AS time passed, however, a
constantly increasing tide of immi-
grafton flooded the easterly part
of the United States and spread
out over the country. The pio-
neers of civilization were followed
by other homesteaders, who took up
lands further inlthe interior, and
these in turn were followed by
those who founded towns, villages
and cities. Driven before this re-
sistless march of humans the game,
more particularly the mammals,
gradually retired, their numbers be-
ing constantly decimated by hunters
who slaughtered ruthlessly for hides
and heads, the meat being a second
airy consideration with many, until
some species-the buffalo, for in
stance practically extinct,
and others were found seldom ex-
cept in sections still covered by for
ests, or among mountains. The
game birds suffered less than the
animals, but even of these some OF
the most wary, such as the wild
turkey, are found only in the
wilder and more remote districts,
and not at all in hundreds of local
tiles where once they were numer-
Gus, whereas the wild pigeons have

Wants foster Parents Properly.

A press dispatch from Lewiston
says that among the several inter-
esting cases that will come up there
in the district court during the
present term is that of an Indian
maiden who seeks possession of
the estate of her white foster
parents. The question involved is
whether an Indian girl, adopted
according to the Indian customs,
and not in accordance with the
laws of the state, is legal heir to
the property of foster parents. This
is probably the first case of it's
kind in an Idaho court. The maid
ems name is Eliza. When a pap
poose she was adopted by family

Charles Reade's IT'S Never Too Late

the time found as 'revolting" as they
now find Mr.. Sinclair's work, and for
reasons much the same, It's fidelity to

The novel with a purpose long ago
became common In English fiction.
Reade himself Oxford don that he was
and man Of refined culture, handled
the muck-rake without gloves. In
Hard Cash" published in 1868, he ex-
posed the evils of private lunaic asy-

the world that forcible arralgnment OF
the traffic in sailors lives by shipoWn-
ers which was said to have inspired
PIimsolrs efforts for the protection Of
British seanen from the risks or un-
seaworthy vessels.
Even before Reade, Charles Dickens,
IN THE Pickwick Papers in 1886, had
dealt a blow at prison evils. In Mich

laid bare the petty oppresslons OF

William J. Mclaughlin, residing at
4b3 West Sixth South street. is not
over-inuuisitve. but he would really
like TO know what Postmaster Thomas
did with letter which should have
reached him last November.
In September, 1905, Mr. Mclaughlin
took u civil service examination In this
city. His rating was to be sent to him
from San Francisco and. after waiting
for months, without hearing from the
commission. he wrote TO the secretary,
asking why his rating had not been
sent.
Under date of June Mr. Mclaughlin
received a letter from Secretary Sny-
der. at San Francisco, reading as fol-
lows: You are Informed that notice
of rating of your internal revenue ex-
animation, taken at Salt Lake City,
September s, 1905, was mailed 10 you
November 20. 1905
Although Mr., Mclaughlin would be
pleased 10 know what Postmastev
Thomas did with the first letter, he is
grateful that the "artful" little man
permitted him to receive the second
one. The first letter will probably turn
up later. however.
