The city authorities should see
that the stock ordinance is more

that such instances are not frequent,

been noted several times.

B. R. Shrimp of Bliss was in town
Monday on business. He is one of the
farmers who took up land under the
Mullins ditch several years ago, and
they were wondering who would ever
take hold of the project and push it to
completion. Enough ditch was dug to
give water for the settlers now on the
tract, but the whole tract is not wa
tered as was originally contemplated
Mr.. Shrimp tells an interesting story
of the earthquake of two years ago.
He had a fine cemented cisten, blasted
out of the lava rock, and finished in the
best of style. The day after the earth
quake he had planned to clean out the
cistern and make some repairs. Upon
starting to work he found it cracked in
half dozen places, great, wide cracks
that had been opened by the force of
the quake, and there was no more
water than there was when the lava
flowed there white hot 1t had gone

Lincoln county viii send a larger del
egation this year to the state teachers
association at Boise than to any other
such meeting. All the Shoshone teach
ers viii go, and some from other points
in the county. Mrs. Burnside, county
superintendent, and J. A. Briggs, of
the Hagerman school, have places on
the program. The association opens on
the 10Th, for a three days session.
An alumni association for the grad

TWO WEEKS VACATION.
Schools Close for the Holidays and

The Shoshone schools closed today
flor a two weeks vacation covering
Christmas and New Years weeks. Elk

lthe past to or three days in all the
grades and it has been a busy time for
both pupils add teachers. Excellent re-
ports are made of the school work in
all the grades, from the primary up to
the high school, showing that the four
months have been well spent. There
has been no interruption of any kind
save the two days at Thanksgiving

thusiasm has been maintained all the
time. 1t promises to be the mosi sue
cessful year in the history of the Sho-
shone schools.
All the Shoshone teachers, with Prof
Thompson at their head, expect to go
to Bliss to attend the teachers associa-
ton, which convenes on the 10Th to
the 28th of the present month.

3l5 GAME LICENSES.
Agent Sells That Many to
Lincoln County Hunters.

w. D. Vredenburg, local agent for
the sale of game license, has his report
about ready for the past years bust
ness. It would surprise some of those
who have not kept track of the hunt
ing and fishing business of the state.
to know that he has sold 315 licenses
here in Shoshone this year All but
three Of these We're local game and fish
licenses, which cost 81 each, or foreign
fish licenses, which cost the same
the other three were non
resident bird licenses, which pay s.
each. The number is so far ahead of
that in any other single year, that the
other years are hardly to be mentioned.
The total net sale Of licenses in the
state is estimated to be between $26, 900
and S27, 200 for the year; the final re-
port will not be in until January 18th.

REAL WINTER WEATHER.
Mercury Below Zero, and All the
Other Usual SIGNS.

Considerable ice has formed in the
river this week, the first in any con-
siderable quantity being formed Sunday
morning. Christmas promises to be
as frosty as the most ardent skater or
sleigh rider could wish. Excellent
sleighing has been going on in HALEY
for ten days, and they do not expect to
see wheels there again until next April.
Haley is quarter of mile higher in
altitude than Shoshone, enough to bring
them snow a-plenty for all winter. The
thermometer has been down below zero
at HALEY, several degrees below. at
the same time last week it was barely
to the freezing point down in the Ha-
german valley. There is about all the
range of climate within sight of Sho-
shone that one could wish.
An ample snowfall in the mountains
IS anticipated this winter which will
insure plenty of water for irrigation
next season. The year just past was
exceptional in its moisture, affording
better opportunities for dry farming
than would be offered of average years. /
This year has induced many to try dry
farming and to obtain results that may
be decisions and snares so far as dupI-
eating them is concerned. But the
good irrigated land goes on producing
without let-up, the dry years being
as rule the most productive for the
irrigated land. So no matter what
comes this winter and next summer,
in the way of weather, the farmers of
this section can count on having full
crops.

GARBER-H0WE CONCERT.
Fine Entertainment December e,
on Regular Lecture Course.

The Garber-Howe entertainers will
be the next number on the Shoshone
lecture course, and they will appear
at the opera house the night of Deem
Der %, week from Saturday.
The company is made up of Homer
C. CARRIER, banjo, saxophone and magic;
Charles NJ. Howe, violin, tenor. and
novelties: and Maud Ingram Howe,
pianist. The press notices are most
dattering ard the program is varied
enough to give everybody some partic-
ular favorite. Mr. CARRIER is ree1g-
nized as one Of the greatest banjoists
in the world The banjo being strictly
an American instrument-the only mus
zeal instrument that can claim America
as its home-it should be popular. The
other numbers of the program are
strong, and the house should be crowded.
Owing to the illness of C. w. Wer-
nicke. who mas heretofore handled the
tickets, the ticket board will be kept
at the Stockgrowers Mercantile COM
pany store. where Archie Bowler will
look after registering the tickets. Seats
may be reserved two days before the
day of the concert.

BETTER THAN A MINT.
Hennery One of the Most Profitable
industries in idaho.

w. F. Millsaps, who has one of the
best chicken ranches in this part of the
state, gives the Journal some interest
ing facts regarding the chicken in
dustry.
He now has flock of about 800 hens.
He has several varieties, all pure bred
stock, which he says is better than any
mongrel stock that one can get. He
counts on each hen producing an aver
age of nearly 81 year, above the cost
of her keep, which would make hens
the most profitable crop OH farm. if
rightly managed. The hers are fed
on bone meal, wheat and chopped al
falfa for the main stays Of their Diet.
Other foods are given for variety but
these are the main foods, Mr.. Mill
saps counts on getting the most eggs
in January and February, when they
are the scarcest and highest priced,
and he can take them direct to the
buyers without putting them through
a cold storage process. The demand
is such that ne never has been obliged
to ship or pack eggs; the greatest
trouble has been to stand off customers
who insist on buying more than his
ranch will supply. The price of eggs,
even in summer, never has fallen so
low as to leave no profit for the rancher
and his hens.
Mr. Millsaps says that it is impossi-
Bile for the careful farmer who feeds
to raise and put them on the
market, ready for the table, for less
han 70 cents. He counts that all his
have cost him that, and so
estimates it in figuring what they will
'eturn in year.

WINTER TIME IN EARNEST.
Zero Weather, Skating, Ice Cutting
and other Winter Sports.

Real winter seems to have visited
this section of the state this week.
Wednesday morning the mercury reg
istered down to zero, the coolest so far
this year. 1t was enough to bring the
smile that won't come off the face Of
the coal dealer, until summer comes.
Some few water pipes froze up, but in
general the people were prepared for
the cold snap and little harm was done.
There has been no snow here on the
lowlands, though the Sawtooth range
and all the foothills to the north of
here have been we'll whitened. The
branch train has travelled through some
interesting snow drifts and the snow
pillow is now part of the regular train
equipment The Little Wood river is
pretty well frozen, with ice on all the
stones in the bed of the stream. The
volume of water has been considerabI y
decreased by the freezing up of the
sources.
Christmas is bringing cold enough
weather that Santa Claus may be ex-
pected to be very practical this year
a ton of coal. an overcoat, warm nit
tens, pair of boots, or something like
that But still, the stores are full of
nice things, for which there is a ready
sale. Mr.. Dooley says It is not the
that we want, but the lux
uries. We wouldn't appreciate a train
load of necessities that we need and
can afford as much as any little need
less luxury that we can't afford The
steady sale of nice things shows that
they are appreciated, though it doesn't
prove that the people can't afford
them.

FIND STOLEN GOODS.
Sheriff and Detective Find Cache of
Stolen STUD at Bliss.

Sheriff Jones and Inspector John
Jones, of the Short Line, went to Bliss
last Thursday to look over cache of
goods which were found there, presum-
ably stolen from the railroad company.
There was large quantity of under
wear, socks, and 30 pairs of women's
shoes in the lot. The goods were in
good condition except for little dam
age done by mice. The Inspector was
not able to locate the owner at once,
but expects to be able to do so soon.
The two boys who were sent to the
county Jail three months ago, for steal
ing from trunks in the Bliss depot, were
Friday, their term having ex-
pired. They started at once for Chi
cago. They had quite sum of money,
a fine outfit of clothes and grips of
their own, and were apparently not at
all in need of the stolen goods.

sieve

F. S. Russell, who 10 days ago gave
himself up to the sheriff here, claiming
t. have escaped from the Salem, Ore
gon, asylum, was this week adjudged
insane and sent to Blackfoot. He was
lucid enough to tell the truth about his
infrmity, but not enough to be a safe
man to let loose. Correspondence with
the Salem authorities brought out the
fact that he had escaped from there,
but they had no authority to either get
OF to receive him back from this state,
once he got away. He was considered
a dangerous man, because of his attacks
of dementia which were liable to be
violent.

CATTLE GOOD THIS YEAR.
Price and Other Conditions
Are Satisfactory.

George Schodde, with his mother,
went up to Haley this week, on bust
ness, returning Wednesday night and
going on back to Hepburn Thursday
morning.
Mr.. Schodde says that this has been
the best year for the cattle business
that they have had for long time.
The range has been good. the price
satisfactory. and there were no losses
from untoward causes. They expect
60 range their cattle in the Cariboo
reserve next year near Soda Springs
that being nearer to market than the
reserve. and the Feed being
fully as good if not better.

"LEAP YEAR" COMING.
Backward Lads Hope for Fortune
They Have Not Earned.

Leap Year" will soon be on the cal
endar, and some of the still unmarried
young men are wondering what it will
bring them. There is a well defined
hope that there will be a leap year
party in the season to give them a good
start in the right direction. They
oughtn't to need it, for there are some
of the fairest flowers of femininity
here in Idaho that ever grew in the
garden of beauty, and some of these
flowers might be had if worthy young
men would only seek. Shoshone isn't
like Hagerman, where there were four
weddings in one week and it WASH t
Leap Year either. There were some
mighty nice girls down around Hager-
man, most of whom are now presiding
over happy new households If there
is any difference in the ladies of the two
places, it must be in favor of Shoshone,
for a fairer lot of girls couldn't be
found anywhere. But the bashful

A. l.. Mcmahon, register of the
Haley land office, and Judge F. S.
Dietrich, of the federal court, were
both confirmed by the Senate, last
week, and they are now secure in their
positions. The appointments are en-
tirely acceptable to the people of Idaho,
who know the two gentlemen to be of
the kind that make public service an
honor rather then a questionable bene-
fit.
Mr.. Mcmahon was a resident of Sho-
shone, and was formerly clerk and
auditor of Lincoln county. Mr.. Dietrich
was head of the legal department of
the Oregon Short Line railroad, and is
one of the best known lawyers of the
West.

HOLIDAY MAGAZINES.
One of the incest Gifts is a Good
Magazine.

Have you ordered your reading mat
ter for the coming year? 1t is going to
be a great year for the reading and
thinking public. National politics, and
the attitudes to be taken by the great
parties on the important questions of
the day will make mighty interesting
reading.
The Journal can save you money on
your clubbing lists of magazines. 1t
isn't too late. either, to order a few
good magazines for holiday presents:
A new reminder coming every month
is better than one gift that is hid away
after the first month is over.
