1918 BORDER DAYS.
TO BE THE BEST OF IT'S KIND
EVER HELD IN THE WEST.
Many new FEATURES
The Keen Rivalry Between the Cow
boys VIII Add Greatly to the
Show this Year.

Reports from the Snake and the Sal.
mon river country indicate that the
1918 Border Days Celebration will be
| the biggest Of its kind ever pulled off
in the west.
Last year no action of any kind was
taken until within about six weeks
before the opening of the show and
although hardly advertised at all the
city was crowded each day, and if we
intend to reproduce the show again
this fall it is time to get busy at once
as we will be called upon to entertain
one of the largest crowds ever seen in
the city.
Border Days is receiving great deal
of advertising through the moving pic
lures taken of the show last fall and
will be great factor In increasing the
1913 crowd. The pictures were run
night and day at the Lewiston Stock
show and attracted great deal of at
tention of all the visitors who attended
the show. ~'
1t is stated by men from the range
section of Idaho county and eastern
Oregon that there will be keen
rivalry between the cowboys of the
Oregon range and those here in Idaho
The rivalry will insure most interest
ing spectacle from the visitors view
point and will greatly increase the at
tendance.
The cowboys are practising daily on
new rope stunts with which to Guido
each other and it is reported that some
OF the most thrilling riding acts will be
pulled off that have ever been witnessed
in this section of the country for some
time.
Another feature that will make the
show grand success is the fact that no
one will be barred from taking part in
the events in which the cowboys are in
vited to take part in and the eliminat-
ing of the professionals will add to the
popularity Of the show among the cow
boys.
VIM. MINER, the winner of the riding
contest here also won at the Round
Up at Pendleton. Art Accord, Mr.. and
Mrs. Del Blanchett, the Seal Brothers
were among the star performers and all
of these men were forced to their limit
by local cowboys SO it is a cinch that
Pendleton hasn't anything on Border
Days.
jackson Shutdown, the Nez Perez In
dian will undoubtedly be here again
this fall, and although he has stated
that he will not attempt to ride the bull
again he may be induced to do so.

Shad Fishing Very Profitable

The shad season will legally close OH
the 18th, but was practically closed June
l, because very few shad have been
caught since then. Most of the fishermen
quit a week ago. A few took drifts this
week. The highest catch was So on
Tuesday. The wholesale price Oh Mon-
was $40, but fell to $25 on Tuesday be-
cause most shad are near the spawning
period and shad from this locality are not
wanted in the market.
Occasionally a sturgeon is caught. The
roe has advanced from $l.75 to So a
pound. 1t does not take a very large roe
fish to be worth 500.
The season has been the most profit
able for several years, both in catching
sturgeon and shad. The wholesale price
of shad ranged from $22 to $50 during the
season at Penns Grove, and as high as
$65 in Philadelphia, from which was de-
Quoted freight and commission. The
shad caught in the River averaged from
$38 to 500 a hundred and in the Bay
$40 to SAL. River fishermen cashed from
$500 to $1,000 and Bay fishermen,
$500 to $1,000. Some caught a few stur-
geon which brought their receipts up to
$4,000
Sturgeon roe was worth $l.75 a pound
and the fish in the rough with the roe
out s cents a pound.
The last haul OF the big seine at Wash
ington Park was made on Tuesday when
81 sl,ad and ST herring were caught.
Several OF the spectators paid 81 each for
shad to take home.

Gettysburg in Text and Picture

More than fifty photographers and almost an
equal number of drawings help to tell the very
human stories that are embraced in the Get
tysburg Semicentennid Section of the Sunday
North American TO be published June %.
First in point of novelty and interest among
the features In the section is "A Guides Story
of Gettysburg" in which is set forth the tale
of the great fight as it is told daily to visitors
to the scene of the great conflict. In the text
are interspersed photographs of the points WIS.,
tied and described py the veteran guide.
OF special interest to Pennsylvania veter-
ans and to students of the battle is General
David McMutrie Gregg's W article on the
part played by the c~avalary in the battle. OF
the same local interest is DR.. Charles K. Mil
ler's article on the work of the emergency
men during the Gettysburg campaign.
An intensely human feature is the story of
Jennie Wade, the only woman killed during
the battle: Its title is THE Romance of the
Hero and the Martyr"
1.-THE Boys at Gettysburg is based
upon the story of one OF the drummer boys
who was in the battle.
Equally thrilling, equally interesting is
every other feature in the section. 1t will
certainly boom the sales of The North Ameri-
can for the Sunday preceding the fiftieth an
niversary of Gettysburg. gadv

THE FISHING SEASON CLOSED
AT BAYSIDE

BY E.. T. ROBBINS, BRIDGEroN, NJ.
The sturgeon and shad fishing season is ended.
The great piles Of boxes are all stored away.
The shad skiffs and dories are gone from the
river
With their crews of brave men, grave and
gay.
The wharves and cabins are almost deserted
Which for weeks have been throbbing with
business and life.
The net poles are all put away for the summer
Lie useless the roe selves and butcher knife.
Out on the wharf the derrick swings idle:
The old block and fall is again taken down,
That hoisted out many and many a sturgeon
And was used long ago by our friend Charlie
Brown.
The light has gone out on the point at the
get-thru,
That guided the fishermen home in the
night.

The telephone booth is deserted and silent;
The messenger calls no more, ''Ho, Jimmy

Soon the grass will be growing all over the net

But we hope when the spring shall succeed the

That our friends and companions again W.
