$3.50. About week later he sold
team of 4 year-old mares to the
Quealy d Peterson Sheep Co., of
Cokevllle for $475. Last Satusday
he sold to the same firm team of
7.year-old mares for $500. These
mares took first premium for draft

first prize at the Montpelier horse
show in 1908. Mr.. Hunter has sew

poets to have no trouble in selling at
EQUALLY as good prices as he has for
the animals sold in the past.
However, the Clydes are not the
only class of draft horses that al
ways bring top prices. Jed Merrill
of Bennington, who is raising Per-
cherons, in talking of the Hunter
sales, said that he recently refused
$500 for team of young Perch
erons. Like Mr.. Hunter, he has in
recent years received fancy prices
from the sales of young horses.

in the county who are raising good
horses. have not had to go around
hunting buyers. On the contrary

JOHN GRIFF TO DEVELOP MINES

John Griff and some associates of
this vicinity, recently organized
company TO develop and operate
their mines in the neighborhood of
Kemmerer, says this weeks Camera.
One of their prospects has been OPP
ened up to an eight foot wall Of
metal bearing quartz assaying some
thing over $500 gold and silver to
the ton, besides carrying values in
copper and other metals. The com
pany has sufficient capital on hand
to proceed with the development
work, and the work will be pushed
along during the summer, with a
view to making shipments as soon
as road can be built to the proper
ties.
This Is the first strike of gold
made in the Kemmerer vicinity, al
though it has long been thought
there were precious metals in dis
tricts close in. If this develops
properly there are great opportuni.
lies for this section, and every lndi.
cation now points to the success OF
the enterprise, which will mean tbs
development of other properties.

WORK OF THE IDAHO
GAME DEPARTMENT

Deputy Game Warden Dunford
was in town Monday, en- route to
Bingham and Fremont counties to
look after some reported violations
of the game laws. Mr.. Dunford
Informed the Examiner representa-
tive that Game Warden Stephens
had purchased from the railroad
company car which is being es-
pecially fitted for the purpose of
transporting young fish from the
fish hatcheries to the different por-
tions of the state.
The Short Line company donated
the use of car for six weeks this
spring, but being short on baggage
cars, could no longer grant the use
of the car. As it is necessary to
have car for at least six months
IN the year, Warden Stephens con-
cluded that IT would be economy TO
purchase one and have it fitted so
that it would be ready for use at
any time the department needed it.
The railroad company will make no
charge for hauling the car, neither
will fare be charged for the men
who go with the car to care for the
fish.
Next month, Mr.. Dunford said
the department would begin th'
distribution of thousands of younl
trout from the Hay Spur and Warn
Springs hateheries.

The city council met Monday

bills against the city, which had ac-
cumulated during the past twS
months.~

pared an ordinance regulating
the speed of automobiles and all
other vehicles within the city limits.

men present il was impossible 10

nance at that meeting, the same was
not presented. This ordinance pro-
yidee that automobiles must be NUN

must be used on all ears that tra-
verse the streets after dark; the
Il
speed limit Is fixed at G miles All
lhour at street crossings, but between
IIcrossiugs they can be run as fast ~
The drivers desire. However, the
ordinance committee figured that ii
the speed limit Of miles an houl
at crossings was observed, 1t would
not be possible for the drivers to at
tam a very much higher speed in
Rgoing from one crossing to another
+ The Mayor announced that h
would call special meeting of th'
council to pass the dlnancethe frs
night that he could round up fv'
members Of that body.
The question of appointment Of
water superintendent and road over
seer was not mentioned, SO it mus
be taken for granted that the cit
intends to continue paying man t
perform the duties of those office
who resigned month ago and who's
resignation was accepted by the couI
Gil. However, the gentleman is a
work every day so the city is prt
badly getting value received.
Iwould appear more business lik'
: though, if Jake Jones intends to &C

BIG PETITION
IS ISPRESENTED
Election Called to Vote
on Liquor Question

The county commissioners adj
iourned Wednesday, having dtspos-
ed of large amount of business IN
the three days they we're in session.
As board of equalization, how

The petition, signed by something
over 1900 voters of the county, ask

ation Tuesday. Objections to the
board considering the petition or
making an order for an election,
were filed by J. f.. O'Connor. The
local option law provides that the
petition for An election shall be filed
with "the county auditor" while
the petition was fled with 'the
clerk" We understand that this
was themain objection relied on, the
contention being that the commits
soners had no right to call the elee-
tion az the law had not been strictly
complied with.
After fully considering the matter
the board decided that the filing was
sufficient, and fixed Wednesday,
September lst as the day for hold
ing the election.
