THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

out OF Ten"-moist and painting in the vestibule
contentious for precedence in the ante-chamber
crowdlng and pushing in the procession, and fantas-
tcaly AFFECT at the bottom of the throne!
For the bewdered Innocent Person we feel the
utmost sympathy and pity. He is the one honest
victim in the case. To him the difference between
midsummer altitude of two hundred feet above
the Potomac tide level and the wintry miasmatic
influences of the White Lot is and seems destined
to remain an imperative mystery. He wags his
empty head and passes on. But the judicious must
continue to grieve. What blight has fallen on the
courage and self-respect of representatives at
Washington that they should do these miserable
things? In the atmosphere of the hills their
lungs expand. Away off the distant Shores with
the salt winds tanning them to manhood, they har-
Dor virile thoughts and speak from reinstated gz-
yards. There must be some poison in the air of
Washington.
Either that our statesmen as rule are mean
groveers

Yield of Idaho Mines.

Statistics collected from the mines of Idaho by
the United States Geological Survey show that in
1906 they yielded gold to the value of $1,149OO
increase of 482 the production of 1905. The
principal producing countless with amounts ranging
from $4,000 to 1851 6O7, named in the order Of
amount produced Boise Owyhee, Idaho FL
more, Custer Lemhi and Shoshone. The pacers of
the Boise basin show considerable increase do
the siliceous ores of Custer The De Lamar mines
in Owyhee County decreased their output owing to
technical causes. Somewhat less than two-thirds of
the States production was derived from siliceous
ores and one-third from pacers Copper and lead
ores added only about 100000. The total value of
the placer output $355,937, of which only about
$4,000 was derived from dredging operations
Of silver 9,01S,815 produced in
crease of 339722 ounces Of the total 7,415,995
ounces were derived from the lead of the Occur
dAlene district an increase of more than 100000
ounces. Only 765,549 yielded by siliceous
and 564,123 ounces by copper
In value of its silver output Idaho ranks fourth
among the States, Colorado, Montana and Utah ex-
ceeding it.

What She Wore.

This is the description of dress worn at a Ber-
muda ball: In the making of it over 10000 stamps
were used. Years spent in collecting the stamps
and three weeks in the making of the Dress which
was of the finest muslin The woman called upon
her friends to help her and the dress was covered
with the stamps of all nations. They were not put
on anyhow, but in elaborate design. On the front
OF the bodice was an eagle made entirely of brown
Columbian stamps, Suspended from the birds ia
Ions was globe made of very old blue revenue
stamps. On each side of the globe was an American
flag, having stripes of red and blue stamps On the
back of the bodice was collection of foreign stamps
in the form of shield, in the center of which was
portrait of Sir George Summers cut from old
revenue stamps. picture hat, covered with red
and blue stamps, with this remarkable
dress.

chased by dogs, but at the time put proviso
that prevents the ranchers from killing the dogs that
chase the deer.
In other words, you cannot kill deer that are be-
ing chased nor shoot the dogs that are doing the
chasing. 1t may seem queer that any would
think of killing the hounds, but out in the Pacific
Northwest there is always a feud between city
sportsmen who invade the country with hounds on
side and resident ranchers on the other
Oregon passed this odd law because of the raw
ages of wild animals upon domestic animals 1t is
claimed that hounds protect the deer by chasing
them This sounds paradoxical, of course, but this
is the way it is explained in Oregon: Hounds will
rarely deer down and kill it themselves and
unless hunter shoots the deer will escape
But when the hounds loose they will clear the
woods of the animals that prey upon the deer In
the spring wild cat will kill nine ten fawns to
feed its Kittens and the number of wild cats is so
great that they destroy deer than hunters do"
c. T. Kelly, rancher, has the following to say
about the law "Ths law was passed because the
attacks of wild animals entail loss of 81 100000 to
the farms of Willamette Valley each year. The
hounds these wild animals away, saving the
farmers stock. But under the old law, if hounds
set after wild animals, they invariably ended by
running deer, subjecting their owners to fine and
rendering the dogs liable to be killed The result
that the dogs could not be used and the wild
animals had things nearly their way.
Il put out of the goat and sheep business
under the old law because l could not turn my dogs
loose The hounds would have kept away cougar
LYNX foxes, wild CATS coyotes and wolves, but did
not dare let them go because they might run deer.
When quit had less than half many goats and
sheep as when | commenced"

A Regular Experience.

This great and glorious capital is now gagging
the regular annual reproduction of a nauseating
comedy, says the New York Sun. There some
spectac1es to which even the most imperturbable
stomach cannot be injured but which the con-
trary multiply their emetic properties in the simple
process of repetition Among these the comedy in
question is chief.
Innocent persons are sometimes heard expressing
astonshment because statesman to whom they have
listened throughout the vacation criticisng
our Best and Greatest with unmeasured energy is
reported in the newspapers as having been among
the first to gaop to the White House, sweating with
ecstasy and reverence, almost fighting his fellow
courtiers for the earliest opportunity of obeisant
genu4exon. At Buena Vista, for example, or at
Rabbit Springs or on Shoat Mountain elsewhere,
Hon. Bucephalus Bagstock has been explaining daily
to tmid and ncredu1ous but rapidly increasing audi
the futility ineptitude, arrogance and mis-
chievous purpose of the extraordinary Being who
at present concocts and distributes National af-
fictions. All summer long the changing tides of
visitors have recuperated at this fountain of stern,
patriotic wisdom until the very feeblest thought him

little girl who in turn seemed entirely absorbed in
her dolls and her Teddy bear
When the guest had gone and bedtime came, the
chds mother noticed that she was unusually silent
and thoughtful And when she knelt to say her
prayers there came pause after the usual petitions,
and then she resumed very earnestly:
"And now, God, please take great care of your
SELF for if anything should happen to you, should
only have Mr.. Roosevelt-and he hasn't come up to

Destroying Predatory Animals.

Substantial evidence that the Government is de-
ermined to put forth every effort to bring the Ma
tona forest lands to the highest point of Develop
is given in the activities of Uncle Sam in plan
ing the eradication of predatory animals which de-
stroy annually thousands of dollars worth of stock
running the ranges in the forests according to
the North Pacific Rural Spirit
Eleven experienced trappers and hunters whose
knowledge of conditions and training in the great
West qualities them to hunt wolves cougars noun
tain lions, coyotes and wild cats successfully, have
been assigned to the work of DISCRIMINATING these
destructive range animals in National forests in eight
Western States. These men, supplied with traps,
poisons, guns and ammunition, going at their
work in a way which is beginning to show its use
full effect and the forest officers believe that the losses
caused by the animals which have made stock their
prey have been cut down very materially.
The work of killing off wolves and other preda-
tory animals in the National forests is going on
equally we'll and the stoc1nen grazing under permit
in the strips of ranges within the boundaries of the
forests will be saved many thousand dollars
nua1ly An indirect good coming from the Govern
ments activities will be to spur ranchers grazing out
side of the National forests to join in the work of
Kidding the Western ranges of destructive animals.
Besides the great saving through preventing the loss
of stock, further encouragement is given the work
in many States where bountes as high IN some cases
as $50 head given for killing wolves, and $40
to $50 head for mountain lions
The eleven forest service hunters distributed
as follows: Sawtooth forest, Idaho, two men,
Yellowstone forest, Wind River DIVISION Wyoming,
two men; Highwood Mountains forest, Montana
one man; Grand Canyon forest, Northern DIVISION
Arizona one man; Park Range forest, Colorado
one man; Dixie forest Utah. man; Trinity
forest, California, man; Imnaha forest Oregon,
one man; Montezuma forest, Colorado one man.
These hunters submit reports of the results of their
work through the supervisors of the forest upon
which they employed. large number of appli-
cations for similar cooperation have been made by
local stock associations indicating their appreciation
Of the value of the forest service work These appl-
cations being acted upon suitable men are
found fill the positions and the funds set aside
for this work will permit their employment.

Oregon's Game Law.

The State of Oregon has unique game law In
fact no one appeared to know of its existence until
a few days ago, when several ranchers were fined
heavily for allowing their dogs to run deer, says
the ST. Paul Dispatch.
The ranchers commenced kicking about the heavy
fines, and then antiquarian discovered that the
last Legislature passed an act making it a misde-
meanor for hunter to kill deer that was being

A FALSE REPORT.
In the guise of a telegram from this
city, The Chicago Tribune Of Sunday,
March asst, contained the following:

DEBORAH. Ia, March 30. = Especial.
Forty citizens are bankrupt, one is
on the way to the insane asylum, and
il has been only by the greatest efforts
that a run on the Citizens Savings
bank has been averted today as a
result of the bursting of a power dam
which could not withstand high water.
The DEBORAH power dam, which was
built at the cost of several millions,
was the investment in which people
of DEBORAH and Waukon put the a
ings of a lifetime. The leading pro-
moter was John Hayes, and it is
Hayes who has paid the penalty of
building a dam with a light founda-
ton, as he is declared to be insane.
The run on the bank was started
almost as soon as the news reached
the town that the dam had burst.
II. would be interesting to learn the
source of this highly extravagant
piece of news, for news" the special"
contains, indeed, to DEBORAH people,
there being hardly a word of truth in
it. No one has gone bankrupt by
reason of the destruction of the dam,
and no depression whatever has been
felt or noticed. The statement to this
effect as also the statements that the
dam was built at a cost of Several
millions" that there has been a run
on the Citizens Bank, and that a per-
son by the name of Hayes has gone
insane, are all pure f~abrications. The
dam cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, and as most OF the machinery
can be reclaimed, the total loss will
perhaps not exceed $4,000. The
people interested are amply able to
stand the loss, and no disruption in
business affairs or private fortunes is,
or has been at any time since the
bursting OF the dam even feared by
anybody. The fact that the dam will
be speedily rebuilt goes to prove all
of this. There has been absolutely
no run on the Citizens Savings Bank
which is one of the strong financial
institutions in this part of the state;
no one has gone insane in this city
for years, as far as we know, and no
person by the name OF Hayes has ever
been connected with the Upper Iowa
Power Co.
The Tribune, in justice 10 itself, TO
DEBORAH, and the Power Co. should
at once correct the misstatements re-
ferred to. and will, we doubt not, do
so when learning that the sensational
report is wholly without foundation,
