WILD BEASTS AND BIRDS.
Rabbit Hunting In Order---Other
Game Will Get a Rest.

Some of the boys have had a good
deal of sport the past few days hunting
"cotton-tail" rabbits along the river.
The rabbits are not nearly so plentiful
as a few years ago and some hunting
is required to find them. A bag of two
or three brnlies is considered a good
davis record. The rabbits are in prime
condition and as dainty eating as any
thing that grows. Most of the hunters
use a % eaHbre rife, though all agree
that a shotgun would get more game
The rabbits are so wary that it takes
the closest of shooting to pick them off
as they dodge around the bushes
Wild ducks are still seen around this
mart of the country, one good sized
flock passing through town within good
qunshot range Saturday. They have
not been as plentiful on the Snake river
this wear as usual, the reason for the
scarcity not being known to the hunters.
There are few muskrats which have
their nome mere i'll ttS NiNgf 'Ni-'~ " -
in the river banks where they do not
have to build visible house as they
would in a pond or slough. They may
be seen almost any day swimming up
and down the river near the Peterson
street bridge.
All the state fish and game licenses
expire on the 18th of this month IN
stead of the 1st, the time having been
so designated that the deputies and
agents can get in their reports and re-
csive a new lot of supplies for the new
year. While the licenses are still IN
force. there is practically no game that
can be-legally hunted after the first OF
the year. the open season for praetl-
cally every variety of bird and beast
having come to an end with the last
day of December.

PEDDLER FINED $4,000.
Mayor Borden Comes to His Aid
and Settles the Bill.

An Indian hailing from Canada, ac-
cording to his own story, started in to
peddle a lot Of moccasins and other
bead work here on the streets this week.
He first went to c. F. Borden, chair
man of the town council, who finding
that his goods did not seem to be in
competition with any of the home deal
ers, told him that there ought to be no
objection to his peddling them without
a license. There is, however, a very
strict state law, prohibiting peddling,
except after taking out a state license
for $500. The peddler started out and
one Of the first men he encountered
was Roy Jones, sheriff. Jones took
him in tow and hailed him before the
probate Judge. The man admitted that
he was a peddler, that he knew he
ought to have a license from the state,
but he thought that with the mayors
permission he was doing right to sell
goods in the city limits. The law, how
ever, is very strict, and after he had

FOUR DEATHS THIS WEEK.
Sorrow in Many Homes Over tie
Long Death Roll.

Ed Paulein, late ofsRoehester, Mimi,
died Wednesday at one of the Grant
construction camps on the North Side
canal. As nearly as can be learned, he
struck town thesday before, in a starv-
ing condition, and gorged himself with
food, more than his weakened and over
loaded stomach could stand. He then
went out to the scamp, and tried to
work. Acute indigestion killed him in
a few hours. Paulein chad just come
here from the east, andshad never been
out to the camp before.
Mrs. Smith, of Bliss, died Tuesday at
her home, from advanced age and a
complication of diseases. She was past
go years Of age.
George O'Neill, for some time past
the news agent on sthes. Wood River
train, died this week at the county poor
house. Indammatory rheumatism was
the nominal cause'of death, but back of
it was the old, oldgstory of a wasted
life. O'Neill wasIwell along in years,
probably little short of 90 years.
The 18-nonths old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Lewis Johnson, here in town,
got hold of box Of tablets prescribed
for the rheumatism, the first of the
week, enough to cause death. The box
CHANGED to be laid where the child could
get hold Of it. Several tablets must
have been eaten, as the medicine was
such as is usually-given for rheumatism
and can ordinarily be taken in quite
large doses. The funeral service was
held from the home, on Wednesday,.

sHosHoNE LINCOLN COUNTY, IDAHO, JANUARY
TRAVELS ON FOUR ROADS.
Blaine County Physicians Trip to
Visit Nearby Town.

DR.. Wright, of Haley, stopped in
Shoshone Tuesday night. He was on
his way to Arco, on the Mackay branch,
to close up some small pox quarantine
cases that have been looked after by
the county.
This is about as roundabout a trip
as could be well taken anywhere in the
state, to do business within the confines
OF the same county. Coming down
from Haley on the Wood River branch,
he takes the main line to Pocatello, then
the Butte branch to Blackfoot, and
then confdes himself to the tender
mercies of the Mackay branch-four
railroad journeys to reach a place only a
few miles east of his starting point.
Because of the mountains, however,
the trip across is not practicable in the
winter.

Editor Journal:

EdltOr journal:
The prosperous town of Shoshone is
the county seat of Lincoln county which
is rapidly becoming one of the richest
counties in Idaho. Shoshone is the
outftting and distributing point for a
very large area of country and the
home of number of Idaho's wealth
lest and most prominent citizens.
The Wood river branch of the o. S.
L. railroad connects with the main line
at this point, making Shoshone one of
the best hotel towns in the state.
There seems to be no reason why this
town, with it's favorable location, rail-
road connections and rapidly developing
surrounding country should not make a
place of prominence and Importance.
To the north and west of Shoshone
lies the Big Wood river irrigation pro-
ject which when completed will reclaim
110,0 acres of rich and fertile soil.
To the south but Immediately adjoining
the town is the 10000 acres that is
being reclaimed by the Twin Falls
North Side Land and Water Co. Both
of these big Carey act irrigation pro-
jects should have their entire acreage
under bitches in two years from date.
This statement being true it will add
Immediately to the prosperity and up
building of Shoshone When the cleo
trio railroad systems of the North SIDE
company are fully formulated it is
most reasonable prediction to make that
the company will find it to their inter-
est to build a north and south line from
the prosperous city of Twin Falls
through jerome to Shoshone, connect
ing with the railroad going north to
Alberta, Picabo, Bellevue, Haley and
Ketchum. Recent reports from reli-
able sources indicate that an electric
railroad will be built from Wells, Ne
vada, connecting at that point with
the Southern Pacific and .Gould's road,
the Western Pacific, to Twin Falls,

Officers Making Easy Terms for
Slow Taxpayers.

Assessor J. w. Wheeler and Auditor
Anderson are proving true friends of
the people in not being in painful
hurry to close up their books and de-
clare the delinquency clause in tax
paying in effect. While taxes are sup
posed to be due and the books Iclosed,
and a ten per cent delinquency due on
and after the first Monday in January,
they have strained..a point Eenough to
accept taxes pretty well alongsinto the
week, without raisingl anEofficial row
about it. In view of the money strin-
gency, their action shas Sheen a great
accommodation to a7good many people
who found it hard TO raise the tax
money in time to pay lastsweek.

Bright for Idaho
New Yorker Sees Better
Times as Result of
Financial Furry.

w. K Everdell, vice-president of the
Idaho Irrigation company, was in town
Monday night, on his way from Boise,
and again on Tuesday night, having
come down from Alberta that night to
look after some business matters for
the company. He is from New York
city where he is a large real estate
dealer. He says the company will carry
on it's work of reclaiming the desert
with renewed energy and make good
every promise, direct or implied, to the
settlers who have bought water rights
under the company project.
Mr.. Everdell says that the recent
panic in New York, which he says was
primarily a local and not national
affair, will eventually result in good to
Idaho. While it has made it rather
hard shedding for some of the enter
prises now being developed here through
eastern capital, the state will gain
through the stability that has been
eyinced in Idaho institutions. Real
estate is always particularly good in
vestment after any stock fluctuations
that derange ordinary business, for the
very good reason that real estate can
not get away in minute like the fic-
titious values of stocks. Idaho, being
in the great irrigation section and
irrigation is attracting the attention
of the whole world of investors as well
as settlers-will profit especially by
the disposition to buy real estate. Such
projects as are offered under the Carey
act laws will be the gilt edge invest
ments for the capitalist, while the
farms themselves will attract the small
investor. Altogether, Mr.. Everdell be-
lieves Idaho is one of the most fortu-
nate of all the states.

made this admission, the judge felt it
his duty to impose the minimum fine,
which is $50, or a month in Jail. Mr.
Borden, whose permission was the in
nocent cause of the trouble, drew his
check for the amount of the fine rather
than see the man, even though a strang-
er, an alien and an Indian, lose it after
having attempted to do the right thing.
There were two of the peddlers, but it
was thought that it would be enough
to get the one. The other, apparently,
had not made any sales. The Indians
claimed to be going back to eastern
Canada, though they had been to Salt
Lake and other points east of here and
were apparently headed back to the
west, according to the story they told
to the officers.
Mayor Borden is getting some good
natured chatting over his expensive
championship of the Indians cause,
though there isn't a man, woman or
child who wouldn't swear that he did
the square and the just thing, and that
that kind of justice is what makes
towns, or cities, or states, worth living
in.
Mr. Indian was willing enough that
the mayor should pay his fine, while he
evaporated.

NOTHING POLITICAL In THIS.
COgitatiOnS on What Idaho Wants
at Washington.

Fortunately not being personally ac-
quainted with nearly all the candidates
for the republican nomination for con-
gress, the Journal can indulge in
little bit of gratuitous advice to the
candidates as well as to the people.
It's a risky thing to hold one man up
for model-but the Journal is going
I to commend Major Reed as the one
great optimist whose optimism could
be model for any one who aspires to
represent Idaho. He has done things
big things, and lots of them-a he
talks naturally in big terms. With him,
Idaho mountains are the tallest, Idaho
rivers the longest and the swiftest and
the fullest of fish, Idaho fields the most
fertile, Idaho skies the bluest, Idaho
women the fairest of any beneath the
whole canopy of heaven. You couldn' t
put man of Major Reeds optimism
and power to express it, even in a group
of dry dust corporation senators,
without every man among them begin
ming to wish that he could trade his
blear eyes, his stuffy paunch and his
corporation fees for a chance to repre-
sent such a state as Idaho. Who
wouldn't rather stand for the eternal
youth of such a state as Idaho would be
if peopled by such as Major Reed, than
for hide bound, monopoly-ridden, dol
l.. o-,., I;,~ commonwealth, l;1ro cO,,,a
of the eastern states? But with all her
fair skies, and the lotus-eaters' dreams
of an easy life gained by investing in
some of the golden opportunities for
business in Idaho, the hustler can find
here every incentive to do big things
and the inspirstion to do them in
manly way. How ''the gang" would
sit up and take notice when Major Reed
began to tell them of the great things
they would see on every hand in Idaho.
Or show them the difference between
the man with a real heart, instead of a
muscular organ that threw a fit every
time it heard the word Dollar. How
some of those weazened coin-chasers /
and corrupt politicians would have to
look up to plain-speaking, big-hearted
man who had breathed Idaho air until
he could put revenge and such foolish
things behind him, and see something
better in every one, every act, than
chance to rob some widow or take
scalp for a farcied slight
The Jourcll i,n't telling the people
of Idaha who to send to congress.
There are doubtless iots of good men
in the state, who would be willing
enough to serve the state. But man
without dollar, either for campaign
expenses or for cutting a swath in the
capital, would be worth more to the
state with such a mental makeup than
twenty men who could buy whole cour-
ties and give them away without feel
ing it.

great deal of time and study to the
adaptation of the system to this county.
He has labored incessantly upon the
system, preparing FORMS, arranging de-
tails, and attending to the thousand
and one things necessary to facilitate
and perfect the operation of the new
law. This in itself has involved much
time and labor. but Mr. Fitzgerald
feels that his efforts have been amply
rewarded by the results.
Aside from all considerations of poll
tics, M. w. Fitzgerald deserves the
support of the electorate He has prov
ed his worth by his daily work, and
there is no excuse that can be justly
advanced in favor of a change.
Faithful discharge of onerous public
duty, for small compensation, can no.
where be better rewarded than in the
reelection of M. w. Fitzerald. '
AS the Afro-Americans in large num-
bers are acquiring property it behooves
them to take an interest in the matter
of the titles to the same. Then too Mr..
Fitzgerald has shown something of his
spirit of fairness to all classes by Civ
ing employment at times to several
Afro Americans in his office.
