THINKS BOUNTY UNFAIR.
Florence Reader Says 1t Is a Graft of
the Inner Circles.

The Globe is in receipt of the
following communication:
Florence, Idaho, Feb. 9, 1908.
Grangeville Globe: | noticed in
your issue of Jan. Is, the mention of
bounty to be paid for hides of preda-
tory animals, of the large sum of 81.
The lawmakers do not give us back
woodsmen credit for having horse
sense. Who would be willing to
turn in wolf skin worth from S12
to S15, or lynx skin worth from 81
to 80 for the same, or even bob-cat
worth SO to IS for the bounty pricel
1t is worth twice the bounty offered to
locate the game wardens after killing
the game. But we do not consider
this a bounty; it is simply graft of
the inner circles, which is proven by
the fact that they will not accept
pelts after April 1st, or when in poor
condition.
We have few cougar, bear and
martin in this county. Why not pay
the enormous bounty price, 81, for
those also' If it is not a graft why
not punch holes in the ears or other
wise mark them to show the bounty
had once been paid, and leave the
hides for the hunter to get market
prices forf
The above seems to be the opinion
of all the hunters with whom | have
talked.
Yours respectfully,
II. G. Vincent.

elect two members of the list thus
selected as commissioners to confer
with two commissioners to be ap-
pointed later by the Grangeville
Water Works. At this conference,
the commissioners representing the
city and those looking after the water
company's interests will decide upon
the rate to be paid by the citizens for
the use of water. w. N. Scales,
attorney for the water company, was
present Monday evening and asked
that the matter of electing the COM
missioners be deferred until the next
regular meeting of the council, Mon
day, March End. He stated that ].
M. Jack, manager of the water
works, had been out of the city for
several days and owing to Mr.. Jack S
absence he was unable to present the
company version of the case at that
time. The request was granted and
the election of the commissioners will
not occur until the next regular
meeting.

Scarcity of Snow and Unusually Warm Winter Weather
Makes Present Season Profitable for Stockmen.
Progressive and Enterpsng Ranchers of Range Countries
Combine for Mutual Welfare.

careful. The cattle that range in the
steep hills of this country naturally
feed around the places that are easiest
of access first, and then if they are
not watched they drift to some other
place where grass is more plentiful
and water easily obtained.
Most of the ranchers of these
range countries put up several tons of
hay last fall in anticipation of the
usual winter weather, which means
snow and ice on the ranges. So far
the winter has been very pleasant and
but very little of the hay has been
used. All winter the ranges have
been free from the usual snow and
ice and the herds have ranged over
spots heretofore considered dangerous
on account of the icy surfaces caused
by the cold and stormy weather.
During past winters, many heavy
losses have been sustained by the
stockmen, whose cattle, in grazing,
have slipped from steep hillsides and
rolled into the canyons below with
fatal results.
The stockmen say that with the
spring grass coming on soon, many
herds of cattle will be ready for ship
ment in early summer. The live
stock is already in good condition
from pasturing on the ranges all win
ter and all that is needed to shape
them for market is a short time on
new grass.

From the Salmon and Snake river
countries comes the news of the
organization of several new stock
associations within the past few weeks.
The stockmen and ranchers of Pollock
have organized an association and
have elected John Bridge as president
and an advisory board consisting of
Messrs, c. f. Holt, J. Morrison and
c. M. Clay. The Cow creek stock
association, with R. Johnston, presi-
dent, and Geo. d. jenkins, d. d.
Baker and Henry Elfers as an advis-
ory board, was organized at Lucille.
Charles J. Hall, president and Peter
Kearney, VIM. Gibbons and Fred
Reid, advisory board, are the officials
of the Crooks Corral association.
The associations were formed for
the purpose of acting with the off,
cials of theWeiser national forest re-
serve in matters pertaining to the
building of trails and drift fences and
the allotment of range. The stock
men of the Snake and Salmon river
countries, who are friendly with the
forest reserve policies, say that much
more range is now to be secured,
owing to the handling of the range
under government supervision. Each
stockraiser is allotted a part of the
range and if he does not feed it off tc
the best advantage it is his own faul
