SPORTSMEN WANT CHANGES
Say Idaho Fish and Game Law
Needs Amending.

Boise sportsmen, In asking for
changes 10 the Idaho fish and game
law, charge that the administration
of the game law Ia the last two years
has been extravagant, according to
the Statesman. They claim that
two years ago there were $4,000 to
the credit of the state warden's office,
which, together with moneys received
during the last two years for licenses
and fines, to the amount Of about
1910 have been expended. Since
they are the ones who put up the
money the sportsmen say they are en-.
titled to know where 1t goes and to
have voice In the disposition OF it.
The Boise members of the state as.
sociation feel that there should be a
fish and game commission created,
consisting of three members to, as
the sportsmen say, "put check on
the lavish aLd useless expenditure of
money of the fish and game fund by
the state warden's departmunt."
The following are suggested by
sportsmen as amendments to the
state fish and game law:
Have 10 deputy wardens 10 the
state and pay each q salary of $1,000
per year and actual and necessary ex-
penses Deputies to have the power
to act In all counties and to be re.
quired to visit any section upon the
demand of the warden, or commission,
II created, when the local deputy
cannot act or fails to act. Wardens
and deputies to be required to sci
licenses but neither warden nol
deputies to be allowed commission ful
selling same as they are on salary
Probate judges, justices of the peace
and Others authorized by the presen
law to sell licenses to continue tn
sale on commission as at present.

GENERAL NEWS.

The United States has again with.

being taken Jan. %, when the island
republic was re.esta hlished with
General Jose Miguel Gomez as presi-

to maintain peace between the
factions there.

IDAHO'S FIRST NEWSPAPER
Was Published at Lapwai as
Early as 1896.

IT, may not be generally known, but
it Is nevertheless fact, that news
paper was printed at Lapwai, twelve
miles from Lewiston, in 1885. The
flrst mission was established there in
that year and this brought about the
publication of the newspaper. 1t
was the first press and type outfit set
up on the Pacific coast north of
Mexico, thus giving to Idaho the
honor Of having the earliest press on
the west coast.
The first mining excitement which
really brought permanent population
and settlement was that of the Oro-
fno stampede of 1861 and '62, which
resulted in the location Of Lewiston,
Pierce City, Florence and Warrens.
A year or two later these gold pros
pectors swarmed further south into
Boise basin where rich gold placers
were discoveredAnd which led to the
removal Of the state capital from,
Lewiston to Boise in lS64.--Kooskia

TO RURAL ROUTE PATRONS
People Should Buy Stamps and
Not Put Pennies in Mail Boxes.

|
Not Put Pennies in Mail Boxes.
There has been more or less COM
plant everywhere because people pu
pennies IN the rural mail boxes to pal
postage. 1t is not merely the cause
Of a great deal of trouble and incOn
venience to rural carriers. 1t Is
habit that ought to be discontinued
on other grounds. 1t may lead young
stecs into temptation to pilfer the
pennies from the boxes. A Mason
City, Iowa, rural carrier has broken
into verse on the subject as follows;
PENNIES IN THE BOX.
I'm Uncle Sans most favored pet,
I'm hearty and I'm hale;
I've nothing in this world to do
But glide round with the mail,
But one thing almost breaks my
heart,
And my nervous system shocks,
It's the everlasting pennies
That I'm fishing from the box.
l carry stamps and envelopes,
And postal cards and such;
And l would like to sell few
'Twould please me very much:
But a man can't sell unless you buy,
No matter how he talks;
So l have to keep on diving
After pennies in the box.
Aud now quite confidential,
I'll tell you something more;
A rural carrier (way out west)
Forget himself and swore;
Says he: II can stand the snowdrifts,
l can stand the frozen locks,
But blast the measley pennies
In the blasted measley box.
When the "roll Is called up yonder,"
Aud we all shall gather there,
They wouldn't let mail man in
If they knew he'd learned to swear
Ii you want St. Peter to 'ope' the
gate
When your rural carrier knocks,
Buy stamps and don't be guilty
OF putting pennies in the box.

states who by securing appropriations
for these naval maelstroms or sinh
holes, keep themselves solid 10 tbeil
seats by making their calling and
reelection sure. Senator Hale OF
Maine is known as the ''owner of the
American navy". He is chairman oi
the naval committee and his influence
with the committee and with the
senate in all matters pertaining to
the navy has long been paramount.
The navy yard at Portsmouth, Maine,
for which enormous appropriations
have been made is kept through his
influence. Large ships cannot reach
1t and the drydock is too small for
the accommodation Of such war
vessels as are now built. A similar
condition exists at Charleston, South
Caralina. Senator Tillman is on the
senate naval committee. At Key
West and New Orleans the same con-
ditiOn prevails. There are really
only two first class naval stations on
the Atlantic coast, those at New
York and at Norfolk. There should
be another at Guantanamo, Cuba, on
the reservation secured to the United
States at the close of the Spanish
war but inasmuch as there is no
senator from Cuba, there are 90 ap.
for this most necessary
naval base and such improvements AZ
were made there In the beginning are
neglected and rotting.

new LOCAL OPTION BILL
Senate SidetTaCks Measure
Passed by House
soLoNs GETTING BUSY
Beginning to Pass a Few of the
Bills introduced.

The local option situation in the
legislature at Boise assumed new
phase last Friday. The senate re-
ferred the bill passed by the house
to the privileges and elections
committee, to die, it is said, and
then introduced new bill indors-
ed by majority of the senators.
1t is called senate bill No. 62, and
lessons the severity Of the house
measure in many instances. 1t re-
quires that 40 per cent instead of
20 per cent of voters shall sign
petition for an election on the
question of prohibition, the penal
ties are reduced, and there is no
provision confining cases of viola
ton to the higher courts. 1t pro-
vides that saloons having licenses
issued after the passage of the act
shall have three months time in
which to close, while those having
licenses before are allowed six
months; also, that should a county
vote "dry", the question may be
again submitted two years later,
thus affording residents an oppor-
tunity to change their minds if dis
satisfied with prohibition. 1t is
less stringent than the house bill
in regard to the qualifications of
voters at the special election, in
that it allows persons not register
! ed at the previous general election
to register for the special election,
whereas the house bill permits on
! ly those to vote at the special cleo
tion who were registered at the
last general election, thus prevent
the colonizing of voters.
! The senate on Jan. IS defeated
an attempt to secure the appoint
ment of special committee to
investigate charges of extrava-
,. gance in construction of the new
capitol. On the following day

ANIMALS "LOCOED'
BY POISONOUS WEEDS

Folks in search OF Information about
the meaning OF that common Western
word. loco" which ono hears and sees
frequently can obtain a mine of lSnowl-
edge by the perusal of a bulletin on the
subject OF the loco-weed disease which
has lust been Issued by the Department
Of Agriculture.
From this It appears that when a per-
son Is, IN tho vernacular OF the plains,
loco he Is crazy. The word IS OF Span
ish origin and has ben popularity applied
FOR long term OF years TO disease
common among horses. cattle, and sheep
In the great plains region OF the West.
The Bureau OF Plant Industry has been
giving long and careful inquiry to this
disease for the reason that it has been
severe IN its effects on stock and there
has been much argument as 10 its origin
The bureau has confined its investiga-
tions 10 livestock and has not gone into
tho broad subject OF the loco" human
being IN all its interesting phases. II
has been found that the disease is causes
by two weeds, one the purple loco wees
and the other the white loco weed Th'
purple weed Is tho more poisonous but !
Affects horses almost exclusively becaus
other animals will not eat H.
The white weed is eaten by cattle an'
sheep as well as by horses. and pro
duces the disease IN all these animals
Eariumis found IN many loco plants an'
its connection with the poisonous effect
is still under investigation.
When a horse Is loco" IT, becomes dun
moody. and more OF less solitary. Il 4
likely to develop a paraiytic condition ant
loss OF musclar coordination. When golnl
over a slight obstruction. Il lifts it's fee
unnecessarily high, or in going over Z
rut IN the road it may leap as II jumping
over ditch.
In cattle. the symptoms are much th'
same. A steer that is. loco" win star
and tremble ana, perhaps. rear and iuml
backward when suddenly alarmed
badly locoed steer shows a violently
shaking head. particularly after II has be
come heated. A locoed steer Is general!
dull. but may become frantic.
SO far as appears from the bulletin
the cause OF loco in the human Is no
