IDAHO ELK GO EAST.
Big Game For the Mountains of
West Virginia.

The department of the interior has
authorized the transfer of fifty elk
from Wyoming to West Virginia, an
experiment which is bound to prove of
interest to the lovers and defenders of
native wild animals. The two carloads
of these magnificent creatures will be
released in the mountains, where they
will have plenty of pasture during the
summer months. In the winter they
will be cared for by private interests.
from which it may be inferred that the
experiment is not undertaken by the
government.
The elk is possessed of an instinct as
unerring as that of homing pigeon,
and invariably, where he has been re-
moved from his native haunts, he has
turned to the land of his birth and
made his way back in the face of in
Vulnerable difficulties A band OF elk
transferred from the Jackson Hole
country to new range in Colorado
found their way back again, crossing
mountains and rivers and traversing q
strange country. The fate of the ami
mails which are to be removed from
Wyoming to far-off West Virginia is
problematical, but if they do not try to
return across the continent--a feat
which seems impossible of accomplish
ment-they will surprise those who are
familiar with the character and habits
of these courageous and beautiful ami
mails.
The elk is easily domesticated, not
few ranchmen in Jackson Hole and
Teton Basin having several of them
In winter, when the deep SHOWS and
scarcity of food drive them from the
mountains into the valley settlements
under the towering Tetons, they may
be taken easily. There will be no
in securing fifty of them for
the West Virginia preserve, The
trouble will be in making them stay
there, for as travellers they have few
superiors among wild animals.

BERKSHIRE BREEDERS.
Richfield Is to he Headquarters
For Fine Bred Stock.

The Berkshire Breeders Association
of Lincoln county is planning an ambi-
tious excursion into the realm of fine
stock in the coming spring. This is
strictly and solely Richfield organiza-
ton, with w. T. Dougherty, D. E.
Weatherwax and w. M. Breck as it's
component parts. They plan to ship in
one or possibly even two cars of fine
registered young pigs, which will be
sold at such reasonable prices that no
farmer can afford to go without. There
will be 100 or more pigs in car, so
that good many farms will be sup
piled. They are now getting prices
from approved breeders who might fur
nish the stock in sufficient numbers,
and hope to be able to make definite
announcement of the price and time of
shipment within short time. The gen
tlemen named have already shipped in
number of fine animals for breeding
purposes, from Washington, from Kan
sas, and from Iowa. They have some
of the best bred stock in the West,
close kin to state and worlds champi-
ons without number. The Berkshire
hog is recommended by the State Uni
versitY investigators as one of the very
best of all hogs for Idaho, and these
breeders have started with well bred
stock so as to have all the benefit of
individual excellence as well as hered
ity. From the way the farmers are
taking hold of the idea of getting in
this class of stock, it is good guess
that Richfeld will soon become the
real center of the Berkshire hog breed
ing industy of the state, if not of the
entire west.

crop values; farming, the only industry
possible in southern Idaho, is on
deadly decline, and will continue to de-
cline until the tax rate is reduced.
This can be best and cheapest done
by a strong commission that will find
the other tax-dodgers and make them
pay their share of the public burden.
The legislature seems to be pretty
much of unit on this proposition.
Never before has there been a rea-
sonable chance for public utilities
commission to pass the Idaho legis-
lature; but it has fine chance now.
Some powerful influences are against
it, as usual but the growth of these
great and intangible corporations that
rule and prosper through public ignor-
ance and lack Of enlightenment, has
been so rapid as to open the public eyes
to the necessity of some sort of control.
Up to this year. straight railroad
commission was the only thing pro-
posed, to govern the railroads and prac-
tically nothing else; but this year
there are three bills already before the
legislature, two to cover railroads and
all public service corporations, and one
to cover all but the railroads. This
will be the biggest fight of the year.
Something of storm came up in the
senate this week. over the omission

COMMISSIONERS MEET.

Much Work on Hand.

w. ]. Taper received word the lest
of this week. that the board of county
commissioners of Lincoln county would
need to hold a meeting at the earliest
possible date, to settle some important
matters that grew out of the recent
county division. His associates will be
T. H. Gooding of Shoshone, and Walter
A. Heiss of Jerome. They have agreed
to meet at Shoshone on Monday, and
will be in session several days; possibly
two weeks, before closing up all the
urgent business.

not altogether a stranger in Richfield.

Better Days Ahead
Legislature Promises to Establish an
UndpprOdched Record for Eff
cheney and Economy.

From every indication, the present
legislature and state administration are
going to establish a new and extra
ordinary record for efficiency Here
are some of the things they have done:
The senate voted unanimously to cut
out the annual junketing trip to the
state institutions. which would have
given several legislators the finest kind
of an expensive tour at the states ex-
pense. All the members will have to
stay right on the job of legislation, and
not vacation or JOY ride for any one.
The house voted to refuse an appro-
priation for the maintenance of the
state immigration department for the
next two years. The governor has
named far the best man the Office has
ever had, Major Fred Reed, but the
long procession of incompetents and
don 't-cares in the past have left suce
bad taste in the public mouth that no
one wants to stand it any longer
The governor has recommended the
abolition of the Offices of water COM
missioner and irrigation commissioner,
on the ground that they are mere tax
eaters and that little or no good comes
from their maintenance.
The governor has signed bunch of
county division bills, but in so doing
has warned against promiscuous county
divisions. on the ground that it is likely
to increase taxes; the bills he signed
were so unanimous, and had been so
we'll canvasssd in the counties divided,
that he could not feel at liberty to ig-
more the legislature and the people.
A tax commission to provide for find
ing all the taxable property, and by
getting the very large amount that
now escapes to make it possible to re-
lieve the present destructive rate
against the property that cannot be
hidden, is almost certain. Taxes and
water maintenance on farm property
are now higher in many cases than the

the three new counties of Lincoln,
Minidoka and Gooding
Governor Haines on Wednesday
signed the bills creating Minidoka and
Gooding counties from what had been

divisions of the state are ready to put

of government for what is left of Lin

The new officers have not yet been
appointed by the governor, but the
names will be announced shortly, prob
ably this week; and it will be but a few
business at their respective m etropo-
lises
Lincoln county will have only a very
few new officers to appoint, as most of
the officers elected last fall will remain
in this division. Two new conn mission
ers will have to be appointed, a tr easurer
and surveyor; it is quite proba-
