All kinds of game have been more abundant this fall than for many years.
This has beer the case especially with black tail deer. A number of those
animals have been killed and brot in by Saratoga hunters and some very
fine heads have been secured. The meat of the blacktai deer is superior to
that of the elk, but does not equal that of the mountain sheep. Antelope
are almost entirely gone, only a few scattering punches of from 10 Ito 20, are
now found where they used to roam the plains by the tens of thousands.
Attorney General Knoxs letter to President zelaya, OF the Nicaragua Re-
public Wal a master piece. 1t was the most gentlemanly, yet the most COM
pae skinning that any of those half breed gentry, who misgovern Central
American States, have gotten yet. Behind lit was a double purpose. 1t was
intended to show to the entire world just where President Zeaya stood, and
also enable the United States to step in and prevent the interference of any
canal route in competition with Uncle Sans Panama Canal. That scheme
has been efectualy blocked by MIR. Knox's "shirt sleeve" diplomacy, as
European diplomats are wont to call American diplomacy.
There is scarcely anything of greater interest than the history which at
taches to the names of towns and streams, o localities of interest in any
country. This is especially true of this western country, and many local
names carry with them thrilling incidents that should be preserved for fu-
tue generations. For example: French creek derived its name from a
party of Frenchmen who camped there me winter and made ties. Encamp-
meut river named after d encampment of three or four bands of trap
pers of the Hudson Bay Company, who met there and built a fort for their
protection against indians, remains of which we're to be sen lea where
Tilt melter o stands a lev years back. Douglas creekw "a called by that
name because Douglas, a Ute chief, always went to that locality to hunt in
the fall of the year. Jack creek was known among the early settlers as
Jacks creek, because Chief Jack, of the Utes, was wont to hunt in the
country Q the head of that stream.
These facts, together with a great many more of much interest, we're bot
out at the Pioneer dinner at the Crawford residence Sunday.

THE NORTH POLE

Tell me not, In mournful legicns,
that the pole will ne'er be found .
We'll have crossed the Arctic regions
ere six months have rolled around.
Men are daily making pledges that
the pole they soon will gain, not with
dogs and cumbrous sledges, not by
drifting on the main, but by sailing
through the breezes in the airship
surnamed Seat; and no more Dame
Science sneezes at fantastic schemes
like that. When the wondrous craft
has lowered DER that waste of snow
and sleet, and the North Pole is dis
covered, then our JOY should be com
plete. II you ask me why the find
ing of the pole should Danish woe,
and the troubles that are grinding
I'll be jiggered If know! But so
many men have hunted for the pole.
in days of yore, and have died in ways
unwonted on the silent, frozen shore;
and so many women, wailing, for
their loved and lost ones yearned;
and SO many bones are lying on the
glaciers and the foes, and so many
ghosts are signing in the wilderness
OF SHOWS; and so many now are freez-
in, trudging northward, mile on mile,
that, of course, 1t stands to reason,
the old pole must be worth while!-

SMITHS WANTED

Seattle, WASH, Aug. 24-Is your
name Smith? If it is, you are wanted
at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific EXPOSE
ton, September Q, to take part in the
Smith Family Day festivities.
From high and low, from near and
far, the Smiths are coming. Seattle
boasts of several thousand, and the
other cities of the Northwest are ap-
parently as strong in Smiths in pro-
portion.
Unique Smiths Of all descriptions
are at premium and II you happen
to be a Smith with some particularly
all Of your own, you may be able to
get special inducements. Prizes will
be given to the oldest Smith, the
youngest Smith, the prettiest young
lady Smith, the homliest man Smith,
and SO on through the whole list of
unusual members of the family.
A warning has been issued to all
visitors at the Exposition to be ex-
plicit In speaking to members of the
Smith family on that day. For ex-
ample:- IF you have friend. Fred
W. Smith, It will be useless for you
to attempt to attract his attention
by yelling Smith at him. That
might cause some three or four hun
dred other Smiths to look around to
see If they were wanted, but your
chances on getting the right man
would be small. Instead call out
Fred w. Smith," or better yet, collar
the man you want to speak to.

TEN MILLIONS FOR IDAHO RECLA.
NATION @

Boise, Ida, Aug 26. Senator w,
B. Borah has returned from Spokane,
Referring to his conference with Sec
rotary R. A. Ballinger, the senator
said he advanced the plan of issuing
bonds to secure funds with which to
rush to completion reclamation pro-
jects already begun, the bonds to be
paid out of the proceeds from the
sale of lands.
Under this land funds would be
made security for the loan applied in
lump sums instead of being spread
over a long period. The item of in
terest, said Senator Borah, would be
more than Offset by the economy that
could be exercised in construction,
while the government would be all
the quicker reimbursed and water
would be provided at once for those
already on the land.
While Secretary Ballinger would
not commit himself to the proposal.
he regarded 1t with favor and said
ne would give 1t thoughtful consider
alton. II he will recommend the plan.
Senator Borah says, congress will put
through the necessary legislation. 1t
Is estimated that an issue of ten mil
lion dollars will be sufficient.

ROOM FOR EVERYBODY

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24.-Through
the efforts of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce in providing accommoda-
tons for visitors, this city claims the
distinction OF being the first place to
hold a Worlds Fair, without the at
tendant crowding and difficulty In OBJ
tanning rooms.
Although several hundred thousand
people will attend the Exposition
from points outside of the city. over
one hundred thousand having arriv-
ed already, there has never been a
time when the room accommodations
have not been ample to take care of
the crowd.
For several months before the
Fair opened It's gates the Seattle COM
mercial body conducted an active
campaign to induce the citizens of the
city to let rooms. Many have adver-
tised rooms for rent from motives of
pure city patriotism, induced by this
campaign.
The visitor at the Exposition has
his choice of all classes sof accommo-
dations to suit his purse from the
most reasonable room at fifty cents
a night, to the costly apartment. Good
rooms may be secured close to the
Exposition for seventy-five cents to
a dollar and half night. The gem
eral air of hospitality which the city
has assumed toward visitors has at
tracted much favorable comment.

INDIAN PROBLEM SOLVED

Friends and admirers of the Amer
lean Indian will be glad to know that
the Carlisle school is making a sys-
tematic effort to foster and develop
native Indian art, as manifested in
drawing, decoration, silverwork and
basket and blanket design. The head
OF the department is an Indian wom-
an of great cultivation and ample edu-
cation, trained in the best schools
OF the east. Two of the most promis-
Ing pupils have received scholarships
which enable them to study at the
School of Industrial Art in Philadel-
phia. The effort at Carlisle is not to
graft the art of the white man up
on that of the Indian, but to preserve
the primitive are native to the red
man-an art that was simple, sincere
and direct, and had other admirable
qualities !.
