CARE OF CHICKENS

In feeding, bear IN mind that in
state of nature, chicks spend prac-
tically all their working hours in
search of food and do not fill their
crops in few minutes every two
hours. Let them work for their food
SO as to give plenty Of exercise. 1t
will be matter of surprise to many
to learn how much exercise the little
fellows require Strength is acquired
by it and above all other conditions of
growth, strength is the one thing nee
essary in the young chick.
One great danger Is overlooking
Just before leaving the shell, the
chick draws into the body, the whole
of the unabsorbed yolk of the egg.
This is its food before and after leav-
provided to sustain life until the
chick is strong enough to take other
food. Chicks should not be fed until
4S hours old. If fed TOO soon, or too
much, the yolk of the egg which it
took into the body before leaving the
she'll, will not be drawn upon and will
remain unabsorbed. In time, this will
decompose, causing bowel trouble and
DEATH The greater number of chicks
which die of bowel trouble do SO at
about a week Or ten days Of age. If
you will open one Of the chicks, nine
cases out of ten, you will find de-
composed yolk in the yolk sack.
There are two requirements that
are absolutely essential to the raising
of chicks successfully by artificial
brooding. The first one is uniform
temperature day and night of the de-
gree suited to the chicks age and
development. The greater the varia-
ton the greater the fatality. 1t is
more difficult to find a good bropder
than an incubator. Many on the mar
ket are nothing but death boxes.
The second requirement is pure air
and plenty of it. This also implies
cleanliness. Let heat, pure air, proper
feed all be supplied with accuracy
and the best results will be attained.
There are number of chick foods
on the market, most of which can
be trusted to keep the chicks grow
ing and in good condition. When
charcoal and grit are used, we seldom
have any bowel trouble in our chicks.
| must admit the feeding question is
the most important in chick raising.
Let the food be what it may 10 long
as it is nourishing and good; there
are differences Of opinion as to the
amount and number of times the
| chicks should be fed. Circumstances

not forget that ''as we SOW so we

He was around town yesterday

to worry Davis pere most and has
''gotten on his nerves." is that the
Republican of Tuesday announced
the event, calling the turn to hair

SOME HAVE INVESTED,
OTHERS NEGOTIATING

The party brouhgt out by ]. E.
Jerome returned east last Monday
morning, after having gone over
the entire system of the Great
Western Beet Sugar company. They
said that the information they had
received prior to coming here,
through catalogues and agents of
the company, fell away short of
what they actually saw.
MIR. Beach, of st. John, North
Dakota, purchased 80 acres south
of town and will move his family
here about August 1. The Messrs.
Cowles of Alma Center Wisconsin,
are negotiating for full section.
Before returning east the party
visited the Capital city and there
obtained an idea of the future of
Mountain Home, and what can be
done with irrigation.
Mr. Jerome is going east tonight
and expects to bring out another
party about June 1.
Certain individuals in this town
who lack courage and enterprise
enough to put out the real estate
shingle, but hang around hotel and
street corners watching an opportu-
nifty to talk with people brought
here through the efforts of the Great
Western Beet Sugar company and
other enterprising citizens, often
at considerable expense, are butting
in and doing some harm. These
curbstone lald agents try to interest
people in old pieces of land here
and there, and if they fail to make
a sale, as they usually do, they show
their true character by advising the
would be settlers to have nothing
to do-with the people who brought
the m here. No one individual OF
corpo -ation ella M a monopoly or
! the land business, but such busi-
ness as above is certainly reprehen-
sible.

EARLY DAY INDIAN
FIGHT RECALLED

Maverick last week published a
story, related by ]. D. Agnew in
the Twin Falls News, about Indians
having killed some freighters in
the early days near Glenn's Ferry,
Immediately after having received
the hospitalities of the freighters'
camp. A. M. Hall, one of the
pioneers of this section, says he
never heard of but one such Incl
dent; that he in all probability
would have known of it had it oc-
CURED, as such incidents were
widely circulated, and the one that
really did take place occurred in
Catlin's gulch, on Big Camas
prairie.
His version of the affair is that
while the freighting outfit was
camping at that place, May %,
1878, two Indian boys not over fif-
teen years of age came in and asked
for something to eat, which ws S
given them. Immediately after fin
ishing the meal, one of them picked
up a rifle and began shooting at
their hosts. Lew Kensler received
a scalp wound, George Nesbit was
shot through the jaw, losing half Of
his tongue, and Bill Silva, who
mounted and started to run away,

For Change of Venue.

From Caldwell comes the infor-
nation that the defense in the
Meyer Haywood -Pettibone case has
begun seeking for affidavits on
which to base an application for a
change of venue. 1t is not known
what success they have met with,
but it is apparent they propose to
make a thorough canvass. The
supposition is that this canvass is
one of the means to be employed to
disqualify persons for serving on
the jury. The making of such affi-
davits would disqualify a man,
while the discussion into which per-
sons might be led by those seeking
them to induce them to make affi-
davits of that character might devel-
op something that oucld be used
by the defense.

Improvements at the franklin.

RIP. Chattin came in Sunday from
the Franklin, the mill OH which
has been in operation for several
weeks. He is now employing
thirty men there. The cyanide
plant which he put in last year
is working fairly well, but an inn
provement will soon be made in the
saving of values, by re-crushing
the concentrates, in combination
of an old fashioned amalgan pan
and an arastra. More concentrating
tables and a funnel-shaped sinner
will also be added. The machinery
for these Improvements has been
ordered.

WOOL PRICES FIRM,
RECEIPTS LIGHT

Comparatively speaking little
wool has been received here during
the past week. This is attributed
to the fact that sheariug was sus-
pended during the rainy weather of
recent days. The receipts of the
week have approximated $4,000
pounds; previous receipts, 254, 900,
total 347, 600 pounds to date.
Ross & Van Orff handled for w.
C. Cleveland IS, 295 pounds; for
Cooke & Lee about 10, 900 pounds.
Fletcher & Co. received from w.
C. Cleveland 1o7 bags, estimated
weight 81, 600 pounds, from r. and
H. Sproat III bags, weighing 35, 423
pounds.
Prices have ranged strong and
higher. Tuesday, for the first time
in two years, eastern woolen mills
had their buyers on the ground deal
ing direct with growers. Messrs.
G. Vanzereren and ]. P. Dufoor,
representing Henri Wattinne, one
of the largest wool commission
merchants in the world, with
houses IN New York, London, Mel
bourne, Buenos Aires, Montevideo
and Roubaix, France, bought
through Fletcher & Co. 404 bags,
about 141, 900 pounds, for the La
fayette Woolen Mills, Woonsocket,
Massachusetts. This lot was COM
posed of the r. F. Cooke, Cooke &
Lee and Frank Trigueiro clips,
paying therefor 233, 215 and 20
cents, respectively.
Chattin & Helm have begun
shearing their flocks on the other
side of the river, by hand. Those
on this side of the river will be
clipped by machinery, beginning
about the first of June.
John Pence came in Monday from
his ranch on Three Creek, in the
Seventy-one country, where he has
1000 sheep that he will begin shear
ing on the twenty-fifth instant.
Richard Bennett will put shear
ers to work in two weeks on his
Sinker creek flocks.

place.
Some OF the men who had heard
him tell of his plans to get out of
the country, thinking perhaps that
he would attempt something of the
kind, followed him. When j..
Halsley, Ed Smith and Grover Nor
ratt arrived at the Hodgins ranch,
they saw their man leading from
the pasture two horses, one of which
was saddled. They called on him
to halt, but instead he turned the
two led horses loose and stsrted full
speed ahead on the horse which he
rode, the one which he had borrow
ed from Ben Robbins. Seeing that
he would escape, the men pursu-
ing him fired, wounding the horse
and thus capturing the thief.
He was tried before q local JUS
tice of the peace, who bound him
over to the circuit court, and in
default of bail has been sent to
the Owyhee county Jail at Silver
City. He was still drunk when
he tried to steal the horses.

BEGAN TO COURT
ELECTION BALLOTS
SUPREME COURT ALLOWED BAL
LOTS OF 1sT PRECINCT OF 4TH
TO BE USED AS EVIDENCE

The recount proceedings before the
! Supreme Court for yesterday after
! Moons session ended with the counting
| of the rejected ballots which number
/ ed a.
A. F. Clark, who had been the in
! spector in charge of the First Precinct
of the Fourth District, testified that
! the bag containing the ballots appeared
to be the same that he had delivered to
the County Clerk following the close of
the count, with one exception That
was that the sealing wax on the bag
had been unbroken when he had de-
livered it whereas the wax was now
| broken. The witness explained how
ever that that condition might have
been due to the bag being knocked
against other bags from the other pre-
cincts He also testified that the bal
lots tina had been couned were put in
one envelope and those rejected in an
other and both envelopes sealed.
Yesterday when the bag containing
them was opened these seals were
found to be broken.
The rejected ballots numbering p
were then recounted by Kinney with
Gear looking on, in the presence of the
Supreme Court. 1t was found that Il
had been marked for Iaukea, 3 Tor
Brown and for either, no idea of the
voters purpose being apparent from
the mark on the ballots. The petitioner
had alleged that there were 26 reject
ed ballots The court ruled that all of
the ballots had been properly rejected.
The counting'of the ballots accepted
by the inspectors was resumed TINS
morning.

Will Have To
Take Notice
INTERNATIONAL NEGOTIATIONS
LIKELY TO GROW OUT OF
JUDGE DULES RECENT RULING.

1t is quite likely that the recent rul-
ings by L. S. Judge Dole in the Chinese
perjury cases will attain international
Importance Unless Commissioner Cen
eral Of immigration Sargent who arriv-
ed today by the Korea, is able to sug-
gest some solution Of the difficulty the
matter will unquestionably be taken up
by the Chinese Minister at Washing
ton.
one of the first matters that is to be
presented to General Sargent on his ar
rival today, relates to the question Of
the enforcement of the Chinese Exclu-
sion law. Unless Sargent decides other
wise considerable part Of the Exclu-
sion Law is imperative at this port.
The recent rulings made by U. S. Judge
Dole in the Chinese perjury cases, has
resulted in the local authorities decid-
ing to refuse return certificates to all
Chinese. Furthermore, all of the Chi
nese who may have arrived today by
the ), ). China from the Orient expect
ing to reenter Honolulu on the strength
of return certificates granted them be-
fore their departure from this port,
VIII be denied a landing. They will
be held up pending a decision by Com
missioner General Sargent.
Under the recent ruling the immigra-
ton authorities can not punish any
Chinese principal or any witnesses who
give false testimony. The result is
that the purpose and spirit of the Ex-
clusion laws, that of excluding Chinese.
is stultifed, for the average Chinese is
willy enough to appreciate the latest
advantage given him and he will be
ready to swear to anything in order to
get his return certificate The only
way apparently to offset this is to shut
down on granting such documents.
Undoubtedly if any Chinese are held
up on the China by the local authorities
the Chinese will institute habeas cor
pus proceedings in the L. S. Court. In
event of the court deciding against
them, appeals would be no doubt, be
taken. This action would enable the
question to be brought before the high
err tribunal. The government is pow
erless to take the initiative to test the
decisions in the local court.
1t is more than likely that the rulings
will be the cause of international nego-
tiations. The Chinese government can
well claim that the refusal of the local
immigration authorities to grant re-
turn certificates or to recognize those
already granted, is depriving its sub
Jects of their rights granted under the
special exclusion treaty with the Unit
ed States government. 1t would seem
that the only way in which the Unit
ed States can meet the present situa-
ton is to have the Exclusion laws
amended in order to deal with such a
condition as has been created by Judge
Dole's rulings,
Certainly the United States govern
meht could not ignore international law
to the extent of suspending a portion
OF certain rights, granted under
treaty, especially when the m\.ake is
due to the improper drafting of its
laws on the subject.
