For Better Roads In Our
National Forest Reserves

An amended senate forestry Dill
passed Monday, gives 25 per cent
of the money received from rental
Of the forest reserves to the state
for schools and roads as formerly,
in which the reserve is located
also gives another 25 per cent TO
be used for roads within the forest
reserves.
This lack of good roads through
the reserves has been great detri
ment to the work of patroling the
forests. and aside from aiding that
work new roads will open hunt
ing and fishing grounds for sum-
mer campers and automibillsts-
Basing the revenue on that re-
ceived last year, this amendment
will give Idaho about $4,000 this
coming year to be expended Ia
roads through the forest reserves
The weather this spring has been
favorable to fire pro-
lection in the forest reserves, but
very bad for stock, since the cold
has prevented the grass from COM
ing up as it should.

Boys Play
Ball Like Professionals

q The base ball season opened in
earnest in Shcshone Saturday when
si.e uoeolng team came up with
nigh hoDes Of taking back a similar
score in lheir favor. They reck-
oned not, however, on our par

his active supporters. The game
came out to in favor Of Sho-
shone.
ON Wednesday the S.H.S. played
heir seconu game Of the season,
with the Albion Normal team. The
game was one OF the fastest, most
exciting and hardest fought con-
tests ever played on the local
diamond
Although the :. H. S. came out
The little end of the horn SO far as
the score is concerned yet there is
little doubt but that. had luck been
with them, they should have won.
McGraw of the n. Y. Nationals
wort hardly agree with this last
statement; he doesn't believe in
luck in base ball; however, the
facts remain. The visiting team was
credited with but three hits up TO
the nineth inning, while the local
team was credited with. six or sew
en- hits. This, however, does not
prove anything as errors in field
ing might have made up for the
difference in hitting. The bad luck
came in the last of the twelves,
when three base hit by Chas.
Carter was called a foul ball. Had
this been called fair, as it should
have been, the score would have
stood to 6 in favor of the S. H.
S. as C. Carter would have scor-
ed on a base hit by L. Gwin who
tied the score on a base hit by E.
Gwin.
Chas. Carter behind the bat play
ed his usual steady game, and with
the bat did some sensational hitting
uakng three three-base hits. VIII
Custer at first took the throws
with ease and accuracy. With the
exception of one inning the in-fleld
worked like professionals. The out
field did some splendid work, sew
eral times saving the pitcher from
some bad hits.
f. Gwin had it on the big fell
lows from the beginning, pulling
our team out of some tight places
when some of their strongest bat
ters were up. The balls looked
ike peas to them during most OF

any weakness whatever, but was

Progress in the New
State Pure Seed Law

II is very gratifying to those in
charge of the Enforcement of the
pure seed law to find that people
in general wish to comply as near
! ly as possible to the law. Farmers
especially are beginning to demand
a better quality of field and grass
seeds. This demand is reacting
upon the seed dealers who are
sending very much better quality
of seeds to us for examination than
they did only two months ago. We
have made more than six hundred
tests of seeds for purity and ger
mination and many of these have
come from farmers showing their
interest in the work. We are now
able to report purity tests within
two or three days and sometimes
on the same day that the seed is
received. When this is done, the
termination test is reported later.
We have issued two hundred and
ninety-nine retail seed licenses up
to date, but we are sure that a |
large number of dealers who are |
retailing seeds have not yet secur-
ed their licenses. These will be
found at an early date during our
inspection trips over the state.
We have issued twelve whole
sale seed licenses and as there has
been a large number of inquiries
from both planters and retail seed
daelers as to the names of the
firms who have taken out whole
sale seed liceness, l am giving their
names and addresses below in the
order that the licenses were issued:
L. L. May & Co., st. Paul, Mimi.
Portland Seed Co., Portland, Ore.
Bernard Haas, Weiser, Idaho.
Payette- Weiser Milling Co., Wei
ser, Idaho.
yogeler Seed G. Produce Co,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
The Inland Seed Co., Spokane.
Porter-Wa Co, Salt Lake City
Utah.
Mark Means, Lewiston, Idaho.
c.. C. Morse & Co., San francisco.
The Chas. H. Lilly Co., Seattle.
Spokane Seed Co., Spokane.
Lake Shore Seed Co., Dunkirk,
N. Y.
A few wholesale dealers have
refused so far to comply with the
law. Among these who have for
merly done a rather large business D
in this state are d. NJ. Ferry & Co.,
Denver. Of course these compan-
les can sell their seeds to the peo-
ole of Idaho f. o. b. anywhere OUT
side of the state without violating I
the law. but it seems to me that
people who so to the troubule TO !
plant seeds and raise crops cannot
afford to buy seeds which nave
no guarantee either stated or I'M /
piled. as to the purity and vlaDlilty :
Of the seeds. This is especially /;
in the case OF field ana {
grass seeds. as such seeds, very {

70 of buried treasure" romances
and figured in many smuggling
escapades, running Chinese opium
over the border.
Three months ago Felix got
Mrs. Hall to embark in his en-

in San Diego, when Hall and Fee

Felix, it is said, took the weapon
away from Hall and told him he

Mrs. Hall put on mems clothes

She is woman of nerve, from all

The smuggling plots appear to
have been hatchedjon the border.
1t is not a new thing. The immi-
grafton inspectors have been
working for two years to run il
down. Between 900 and 700
Chinese have been run in each
year. The Mexican revolution put
a brief stop to the operations, but
it is estimated that the syndicate
has succeeded in getting 800 or
400 across this year.
The $500 for each Chinese was
paid by the relatives of the coolie

SO much month. He considers
it a good bargain to be able to get
into this country at almost any
cost.
Felix came to be a plain bust

lands, but he admits the impeach-
ment of more adventurous ca

youth.
Once, he says, he was sentenc-
ed to be shot in. Mexico and was
to die at sunrise of the next day.
The governor of California inter-
ferred in his behalf.
This little incident was in con-
nection with the capture of Pueb-
la, a murderer. Felix led the Los
Angeles officers into lower Cali
fornia in the hunt for the fugitive
and the Mexican government did
not want to give Puebla up.
Felix says he knows Mrs. Hall
