White Bird, Idaho, March g.
Livestock of all kinds have win
tered exceptionally well on the
Salmon-Snake river ranges and
at no time in the history of this
section has there been so light
a loss. In fact, if there has been
gthe loss of single head of stock
1t has not been reported. John
Wilson, who has ridden the rang
es here for the past 30 years stat
ed today that he had not seen a
single head of dead stock during
the past winter.
X. p. Nash of the Salmon River
Livestock company, came over
from Snake river today and re-
ported that the grass was six
inches high in places and all live
stock had wintered well.
Jones & Behean report that all
their livestock have wintered fine.
They have not lost a hoof this
winter The forest service has
loosened up and permitted the
erection of drift fences on the
forest reserve ranges. These
fences have kept the cattle from
the steep hillsides where there
is danger from rolling. The fenc-
es also protect the summer rang
es from the light cattle which
heretofore have encroached on it
in places where bare of snow.
Hotel Improvement.
Sam Jones is now "mine host"
at the White Bird hotel having
taken possession on March 1st.
He has given the building a gen
eral clean up and contemplates
making extensive improvements
to meet the requirements of an
increasing business. Several tents
10 by 10 feet in size will be plac-
ed on the vacant lot adjoining
the hotel building. These tents
will be comfortably furnished
and lighted with electric lights
and used for sleeping purposes.
In this mild climate they will be
comfortable at any season and
especially so in the summer.
