HOOTs IBEx STORY.
Boise Statesman

BOISE SCdC6Su1AJ
District Forester GrandJean taxes
exception to a recent news item from
Salmon stating that ibex had been
killed in that vicinity. He maintains
that the ibex family has no repre-
sentatves on the American continent,
being found only in Europe, Asia ana
Africa. He has often noticed state
ments in the state press to the effect
that ibex have been found within the
confines of the state of Idaho, but
these assertions have never been prov
en- by producing the remains of any
such animal.
Several years ago when statement
appeared that ibex had been discov-
cred in this state near the headwaters
of the Salmon river and in the Saw
tooth and Salmon river mountains Mr..
Grandjean took the matter up with
the Smithsonian institute, and the in
| stitute informed him that they often
received specimens for notification
which the senders claimed to be ibex,
but that in all instances the animals
had proven to be of the Rocky Noun
tain goat or the Rocky Mountain
sheep family.
"That large animal like the ibex
could exist, even in the most remote
part of Idaho without ever being iden-
titled or without the horns or head
of such an animal ever being SUBJ
mitted to the proper authorities seems
, highly improbable" said Mr.. Grand
jean. People who are not we'll
posted on the animal life of this coun-
, try are apt to get the impression,
when viewing a female mountain
sheep or a band of yearling rams that
! they have discovered some strange
animal"
Mr.. Grandjean says that several
years ago he made an offer of $500
to the party who would bring in any
specimen of the ibex family which had
been found in this state. Several
hunters at that time claimed to have
specimen but no one ever produced
any proof or claimed the reward. He
says this offer has been withdrawn
but feels sure that a substantial re-
ward from the Smithsonian institute
awaits the hunter who will furnish
proof that specimen of the ibex
, family, in it's wild stage, has been
found in North America.

How to Tell a Good Road From O
Bad Road


Bad Road
To the Childen: In getting facts
to write your essays for the prize con-
test on the Repair and Maintenance
of Earth Roads, use your eyes. Look
at a bad piece of road and good
piece of road when both are dry.
Study, particularly, the ruts and holes
and uneven places in the road to see
whether they make it easier or harder
for the wheels of a loaded WACO to go
along. Study the kind of footing
that the two roads give to the horses.
Now, study the same stretches of
road after good rainstorm. You
will see that one road holds small
puddles, or pools, of water that keep
the road soft and so allow 1t to he
cut up by the wheels of the wagons
and the hoofs of the horses. How do
road builders keep water from gather
ing on the Travelled way of road?
Should the road slope to the side
bitches? How much higher should
the center, or crown of the road be
than the outside edges of the road +?
Why do good bitches at the side Of the
road help make the center of the
road better for hauling? What hap
pens when bitches get full Of rubbish
or weeds? When ditch along a
road holds water or collects into pools
how does it injure the road?
Using Drag on Earth Roads.
Have you ever seen a home-mad
road-drag? 1t is made by splitting
in two log six or eight inches in
thickness and about six or eight feet
long. The two halves of the log
are set about three feet apart with
their smooth faces forward and up
right They are fastened together
with braces. A pair of horses are
hitched to chain fastened to the
front half Of the log. Should these
logs be drawn straight down the road
or should it be dragged at a slant so
that little of the loose. earth will
slide toward the center fthe road?
