The Game Season.
Columbia Record: A party of about
fifty Columbia sportsmen have organ
lied to make q trip to Fort Motto this
week to shoot birds, apparently un-
mindful of the fact that the last leg
islature amended the game law so as
to provide for closed season from
the lst of March, instead Of, from the
1st of April as heretofore. A similar
mislfnde rstanding seems to prevail
throughout the state. A state officers
secretary received an invitation today
from a Yorkville party to go out for
hunt next week before the season
closes" but he wired his regrets, say
ing the season had already closed.
A Game That Didn't Work.
Two men giving their names as
Lewis and Fox, and accompanied by
a woman, were before Magistrate Co.
mer yesterday on the charge of hawk
ing and peddling without license. The
arrest of the men was the result of
the working Of well-known game
of deception at Sharon yesterday.
They offered corn salve at 10 cents
and after a number of packages had
been sold gave the money back.
Then they added other articles and
charged quarter. The quarters
were all returned and when they sold
additional packages at a dollar, they
whipped up their horses and made
for Hickory Grove where they were
arrested on the strength of a tele-
phone message. There was some
trouble I'm getting up a charge that
would hold, and 1t was finally de-
cided to make the fak:rs pay license.
The case was compromised I'm Magis-
trate Corners court this morning on
this basis. The fakirs agreed to pay

their contents as security.

COAL CAR SHORTAGE.
Instr Ections Received Regarding
Passing Cars.

Strict instructions have been received
by the officials of the Frisco Railroad
company in cities of the zinc district
in relation to the handling of conl cars
and it appears that this company is
making strong effort to relieve the
coal famine now existing in various
parts of the United States.
The instructions were received Satur-
day and went into effect Saturday at
midnight, The order in substance
follow: All system and foreign coal
cars arc to be rushed Immediately to
the CO al fields, giving preference. to
those of Kansas and under no ciicum
stances is this order to be oisobeyed in
the hauling of pershable freight.
Coal famines are now eXisiting in var
ious parts of the United States. The
greatest want is being left in the North
west, Northorn Missouri and Western
Kansas are also destitute. /Thc reason
assigned for this is ttat large amount
of the box cars are being Used in moy-
ing the fall crops of the farmers. This
Greats a scarcity in this class of cars
and the ordinary coal car is being ised
to relieve the insutficiency o! coal cars.
For this sort of shipping the railroads
receive higher rate than in hauling
coal. Hence the cars have been used in
shipping regular freight and sections of
the United States far removed from the
coal mines are suffering.
1t is said that the order of the Frisco
is to be followed Immediately by similar
orders from all other roads which have
not already done so.-Carthage Demo

workshop" says naturalist, a large
fy, double the size OF : blucoottle,
was caught in o spiders web in the
window close to where was at work.
1t was held by two of its legs only,
and for some time the spider, which
was about the size of the iy's head.
proceeded to strengthen its hold by
attaching numerous eXtratlincS.to to the
two captive limbs, carefully keeping
out of reach of the others, which were
letting out in all directions in frantic
efforts to escape. ..
During a short respite in the cap
tiye's struggles the spider cautiously
approached, and with its hind legs
got several turns OF its tiny rope
round cne of the limbs that were froe.
THESE tactics were carried On till all
the legs were firmly bound. 1t then
infected poison into one Of the legs.
This soon showed itself, for its dead
ening effects reduced the victims
struggles in q marked degree. The
poison paralyzes bat does not Kill.
Shortly after a second bite resist
ance ceased, and the victor settled
down to suck the juices of its fallen
prey. The struggles lasted quite an
hour. Next morning the fly WIS alive,

MAN DROPS DEAD.
Samuel Timson, Of Roswell, Meets
Death While Walking Behind
the Pillow.

A number of friends and neigh
bors gathered at ]. l. Stevenson's
ranch in the Big Bend Monday, to
help him out In getting his land in
shape for farming. Mr.. Stevenson
has been sick since January, and
was unable to do any work himself.
Among those who came was Samuel
Timson, who bitched onto a pillow
and started to work. Within a short
time Timson was heard to call Tor
help, and his nearest friends, on
looking around, saw him fall to the
ground. He was picked up and car
ried into the Stevenson residence
short distance away, but was deac
before he reached the place. DR.
Geries was authorized by the Nal
heu rCounty Coroner to hold an In
quest, and an autopsy was per
formed Tuesday, when 1t was de
cided that his sudden death was du'
entirely to heart failure.
Mr.. Timson came to Idaho from
Colorado In January, and was hv
ing on the old Jim Cassel place
which is now owned by Mr.. Fisk
He leaves a wife and ten children

In explanation of the recent crea-
ton of reserves in Idaho the forest
service, referring to the recently
created Occur d'Alene reserve gives
the reasons for creating it as follows:
1.-THE Occur d'Alene reserve in the
northern part of Idaho, extends
equally to the north and south of the
town of Wallace and contains the
area which was originally contem-
plated as a reserve to be known as
the Shoshone. 1t lies in Nee Perez,
Shoshone and Kootenai counties, be-
tween Lake Pend d'Oreille on the
north and Bitter Root forest reserve
on the south. The value of the re-
gion lies wholly in its timber, water
and mineral resources. Fires are
making serious inroads in the forest
area and have recently destroyed mil
lions of feet of timber. Unless effec-
| tive measures are at once taken to
prevent such fires, a great portion OF
Neg Perce and Shoshone counties will
in time become a barren waste.
"In this reserve the future mineral
development, which will undoubtedly
be great, depends upon a sutficien
supply of timber to meet the demands
of prospecting and mining. Alread.
fire has destroyed practically all o
the timber contiguous to the Coeu
d'Alene mining district, which alon
consumes annually more than 80,
100000 feet of timber. Further tn
mining industry, in the very heart o
the forest area, is beginning to suffe
, from the decreased flow in the Coeu
: d'Alene river, caused by forest de
, struction at It's headwaters. Also
regular and sure stream flow for tn
reclamation service projects to WASH
lngton, since the st. Joseph an
Occur d'Alene are importar
branches of the Spokane river, to b
utilized in the Big Bend project

government efforts are to insure

opment and use of enormous wealt

d. w. Ross, engineer in charge
Of the Reclamation work in Idaho,
has informed the Deer Flat settlers
that the surveys will be made In
time for the laterals to be built, and

srs. E. B. Jesse d. j. Maxwell ana

with Mr.. Ross in regard to the con-
struction of canals and laterals sur
f1cent to irrigate the land above the

with Mr.. Ross, Wednesday OF last
week and were assured by him that
,ate- would be available for distri-
button from the government canal
to the land extending from Indian
creek to the Deer Flat reservoir and
between the government canal and
the boundary Of the Nampa-Meridi-
an irrigation district. Provision
however, has only been made Tor

mansions required for the delivery
of the amount of water needed.
