close. The records Of population
and harvests, which are the index OF
progress, show vigorous national
growth and the health and the pros

possessions beyond the seas. These
blessings have not descended upon
US in restricted measures, but over
flow and abound. They are the
blessings and bounty Of God.
I'VE continue to be at peace with
the rest Of the world. In all essen
tial matters our relations with other
people are harmonious, with an
ever growing reality of frlendllness
and depth of recognition OF mutual
dependence. 1t is especially to be
noted that during the past year
great progress has been achieved IN
the cause of arbitration and the
peaceful settlement Of international
disputes.
''Now, therefore, |, William How
ard Taft, President Of the United
States of America, in accordance
with the wise custom OF the CIV Il
MAGISTRATE since the first settlements
in this land and with the rule estaD-
Eshed from the foundation Of tits

the whereabouts of Geo. Overfield.
He has not been seen for several
weeks, and friends are alarmed that
he may be lost.
Development work at the South
Fork mine is now being pushed with
a large force of men. Besides TAX
ing out ore for the mill, they are

opening up new ground The ore
here is said to be of better grade
than any so far found.
From S. J. Fore, manager of the
Grangeville mine, 1t was learned that
he was compelled to close the mill
on account of wood. He was late
getting started and could not get in
a supply of wood before the stormy
weather, but has let a contract for
a large amount, and as soon as this
is in will be able to resume opera

WINTER EGGS.

To get eggs in winter the fowl must

Agricultural College experiments were
made in feeding cockerels and pullets
on meat ration. The cockerels gain
ed over 56 percent more than those
fed on other rations, while the pullets
commenced to lay eight weeks earl
Ter than those fed WITHOUT meat. The
great trouble with most farmers Is
that they are apt to give their chick
ems one continued feed without any
change or variety. The feed is the
whole thing with the hen, and she
can not be expected to lay eggs UNI

BIG GAME AND
FINE OUTING

The Culdesac Enterprise tells of
the kind of an outing that all delight
in. in the following manner:
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Estes return
ed last Friday after an absence of
about two months on a hunting trip
to the Three Fork and Indian Lake
country. Mrs. Estes who was in tow
yesterday stated that they enjoyed
the trip immensely and had a fine
time. They spent about three weeks
in the Three Forks section after
which they moved camp to Indian
Lake about thirty miles beyond. The
lake Is located at the head of a
meadow and is something like three
miles in length and a mile wide.
Surrounding 1t is a dense growth of
cedar making 1t a most beautiful
place. In the evening on different oc
casions they saw several moose come
out of the dense forest and feed on
the water lilies at the lake. But
the law forbids the killing of moose
so they did not modest them. Mr..
Estes, however, never fails to get
big game when he goes after it and
this time he landed big sixpoint
Elk and deer, which were killed
IN the Three Forks section He
brought home part of the meat of
the elk, the head and hide. He will
probably have the head mounted
while the hide will be made into a
rug. He also secured the teeth. They
are an exceptionally fine pair OF
teeth and IN perfect condition.
Fishing was fine and the smallest
one caught. Mrs. Estes says, was
ten inches long. Pheasants and
Irouse are as numerous there as the
mallbirds here.
They ran short of provisions and
lad to come out earlier than intende
and spent Thanksgiving ON the trail
In a binding snow storm. On the
way out Mrs. Estes horse fell with
her, causing her quite painful injuries
but she has now recovered. The trip
over Goat mountain is rather diff
ficult and they made slow progress
at this point but the trip out was
made in nine days from Indian lake.
Messers. Steen, of Sites, Baily and
Wickershaw were still in the mount
aims when they left, having gone
in ahead OF Mr.. and Mrs. Estes.
Mr.. Steen had also killed fine elk
and the party is expected out soon.
AS a result of this hunt the editor
has been living on elk meat for the
past few days.

bad roads and bad schools make
convicts. Why shouldent convicts
make good roads. making it easier
for children to get to school, and
making 1t possible to consolidate
schools and improve the child's OPP
portunities for securing an educa-
tion?" asks the Louisville Courier
Journal. There Is something to think
about in the opposition OF those who
stand out against the employment of
convicts In road work. 1t ds an out
door service in which the workers
begin with the advantage of fresh
air and physical exercise. There is
no reason why the conditions should
not be made reasonably good from
the standpoint of the convict and
those who would save him from
tyranny as well as from the view
point of the public generally. The
road work Is needed and there is no
limit as to the demands for such i'm
provements. There is, I'm fact so
much of this sort of improvement
needed that there is no danger what
ever that the convicts engaged in 1t
will ever compete seriously with free
labor.
The question of road Improvement
is certainly one that should interest
Idaho county If any subject should.
We have rested too long now with
out vigorous agitation of the good
roads topic; not that we have been
for it Is sure no rational person could
be under the circumstances. but be-
cause our energies have been occup-
led pretty fully with other matters
of importance. But the time has Ger
tainly arrived when nothing should
be given ascendency of over the i'm
provement OF our highways,
During the recent campaign Gov.
Brady referred to the use of the con
victs in the penitentiary for the i'm
provement of our roads, and assert
ed that If he was elected he would
urge this plan of Development with
all the force he could ling to bear.
This is a subject that should be ag-
itated and urged by the commercial
clubs, as we'll as the papers, and by
every good citizen. 1t rs a matter
of paramount Importance, and in
the mean time we should get busy
locally. and as a county.
