IDAHO TO FEED ELK.
Effort to Prevent Winter Slaughter
by Tusk Hunters.

From the Idaho Statesman
An effort will be made by the state to
prevent as far as possible repitition of
the wanton destruction of large numbers
of elk which took place in Fremont coun-
ty last winter.
The animals had been driven by extreme
hunger to approach the settlements, and
weak from starvation and struggling in
the unusually deep snow when they
reached the lowlands were killed and
skinned. In many cases, reduced to mere
skeletons. their meat could not be used.
The idea of the game warden is to ar
range IL possible to have cheap hay ship
ped into the country where the elk
abound and place it where the animals,
when their natural food supply gives out,
will be able to find food. Several of
the ranchers in the elk country have
put out hay for the animals for a number
Of years and they have not been long in
locating 1t when the snow gets deep in
the hills. In this manner they are en-
abled TO keep in good condition through
out the winter and when spring arrives
return to their usual haunts
The eastern part of the state forms the
principal range for these animals which
the authorities are endeavoring to protect
from the pot hunters and specimen seek
ers. Stringent laws have been enacted,
which. II carried out. will go a great way
to protect the king of North American
game animals.

SOME FAMOUS BULLS.
Collection From House of Commons
Few From Pulpit.

Few From Pulpit.
From the Windsor Magazine.
The house of commons. as might have
been expected, has contributed a fair
share to a very amusing collection OF
bulls" 1t was in one of the debates
of that body that the late Col. Saunder-
son described Eastern Rumelia as '.man
enough to take her stand in defense of
certain threatened right.
An Irish M. p once declared that of the
outrages reported from Ireland three
quarters were exaggerated and half had
no foundation in fact-a statistical COM
putation that reminds one of another
Irish NJ. p, who declared excitedly to a
group of fellow members: Il want to
convince you that there isn't any truth
in half the lies they are telling about
Ireland"
The biography Of Dean Hook recalls a
certain minor canon who used to preach
at the Cathedral when Hook was a boy
at Winchester School. In one Of his SER
mons there occurred the striking refiec-
tion that what is impossible can never
be, and very seldom comes to pass
Another discourse was long remem-
bered for its pathetic lamentation on the
degeneracy of the age: 20 tempora. o
mores. What times we live In! Little
boys and girls run about the streets ours
ing and swearing before they can either
walk or talk" But the Church of Eng
land has no monopoly of these violent
contrasts, for it was at a City Temple
meeting not many years ago that a
speaker exclaimed: II find my time is
already gone. Therefore will keep with

IMPROVEMENTS FOR SUBURBS
RHODE ISLAND AVENUE CITI-
zENs ASK APPROPRIATIONS.

At a meeting Of the Rhode Island Ave-
nue. Suburban Citizens Association. held
Friday night in Odd Fellows Hall, anh
and Rhode Island avenue northeast re-
ports of the various standing committees
were received and approved.
The most important report was that of
the legislative committee The association
indorsed the recommendation Of the com
mittee that the Commissioners include in
their estimates for the next fiscal year
the following items:
For grading and macadamizing Rhode
Island avenue northeast from 18th street
to District line, $4,000:
For improvement Of kearney street
northeast from 18th street to Rhode Isl
and avenue. for completing fire run for
the Brookland engine company to Sher
woods addition, Saratoga. Ellaston Ter
race, Sherwood, North Langdon. West
Woodbridge, Woodbridge and vicinity, $40
900;
To grade and macadamiZe Rhode Island
avenue from Lincoln road to 9Th street
northeast. 5000;
A sum sufficient to complete the east
side intercepting sewer and to macadam-
ize oath street from Rhode Island avenue
to Irving street and Irving street from
oath street to South Dakota avenue:
Macadamize South Dakota avenue from
Rhode Island avenue to Baltimore and
Ohio railroad.
The committee also favors 9O-cent gas,
as proposed by the Gallinger bill. but OPP
poses the increase In stock by the pro-
posed issue of stock in lieu of outstanding
certificates Of indebtedness, and also cali
ed attention to the fact that the title to
II. r. bill 18345, An act to fix the price
Of gas in the District of Columbia" was
misleading.
The committee further favors legislation
providing for public service commission
er. to supervise the gas, street car elec-
trio light and all other public corpora
tionS.
In concluding the committee urges a
high-pressure water system for the bust
ness section Of the city and indorses the
recommendation Of the Commissioners for
separate appropriations and long-term
loans, at a low rate Of interest. to pay for
extraordinary and much needed improve
ments In the District. The report Is signed
by M. E. Sabin, chairman: Bristow Ad-
ans and Benjamin F. Edwards.
The executive committee presented re-
port, which was adopted. urging the Com
missioners to construct a cement sidewalk
on the north side of Fort drive between
18th and 18th streets northeast.
The committee on lights and mails rec
commended that two lights be placed on
the south side of Hamlin street between
Queen Chapel road and Goth street; that
mail boxes be erected at Lawrence and
1Ith streets and at oath and Irving streets

FLOWERS KEPT BY FREEZING.
Method of Bringing to the North
From Tropical Regions.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Freezing flowers to keep them fresh is
a modern idea. They are picked in the
bud and preserved by refrigeration while
being transported. They can travel safe
ly In this way for several weeks. When
unpacked they are found free Of damage
and when placed in water and left alone
they slowly awaken and come into full
bloom.
It appears that experiments are being
made in South Africa with view to
dispatching them in this way in bulk at
the seasons when they are scarce else
where. The flowers undergo no deteri-
oration from their treatment either in the
beauty of their color or in their longevity
after immersion in water. Curiously
enough growth suspended by refrigera-
ton appears to resume SO slowly that
the blossoms thrive In room for a con-
siderably longer period than If placed
there Immediately after being cut in the
garden.
The process would also serve to intro
duce to our notice many beautiful mem
bers of the horticultural family with
which a present we are unfamiliar, such
plants as the gorgeous iris. which grows
wild in luxurious nrofusion In South
Africa or those which abound on the
slopes of the Andes in South America.

received or soon will receive. a federal
appointment. Platt Brightwen of
Charles on has been recommended by
the senator's TO be national bank eX-
amlner, to succeed {. w. Robinson of
Grafton, resigned. Partly to help this
appointment but largely for future con-
sideration for other big things. there
has been quite a lot of noise lately in
that district about not getting its share
of the pie. The criticism is amusing in
the light of what pie connections
Charleston and kanawha county make
alone every time the legislature meets.
Kanawha county is charged with hog
ging everything the state house has to
give out. and ii surely gets large slice
OF patronage. The fact that Charleston
people are on the state payroll to great
abundance and lose nothing the con-
gressional and senatorial counters have
to give out makes the cry OF hunger
really painful
There Is just the suspicion that this
cry Is being worked up to help on the
United States senatorial cause of w. NJ.
o. Dawson, who has claimed the third
district as his home for the last six or
seven years. The Dawson senatorial
boom has failed to respond to the initial
bunch of fireworks set off a few days
ago. The boom was sprung by Charles
w Dillon of Fayette county, in the
same district, when he returned sore and
weary from Washington where he failed
to win senatorial recommendation for
the district attorneyship place vacated
by Elliott Northcott and which was
handed to Harold Ritz of Mercer county
in the fifth district,
Mr.. Dillon was tax commissioner under
Dawson and was tower of strength
10 the governor when he needed strength.
Mr.. Dawson has never said whether he
will or will not he a candidate against
Senator Scott. In fact none of the
half dozen mentioned in this respect has
denied or confirmed it.
