Asks Sporfsnen
to Observe LaWs
Association Sends Circular Letter to
All Parts of State in interests of
Enforcing Game Laws.

Observance of the game laws is be-
ing urged on the sportsmen of the
state in a circular letter sent out by
the Idaho State Sportsmen's a-s-cia-
tion. The association ashs the $50. is
men to observe the laws partly on
the ground that if the violations are
few the game department will be com
PEELED TO spend less money to keep
deputies in the field and will have
more to devote to the propagation OF
fish and game.
That portion of the letter dealing
with the subject is as follows:
The license system for the main
tenance of the state fish and game
department is beyond a question Of
doubt most just and equitable one.
as only those citizens who participate
in the sport and recreation of fish
ing and hunting contribute to the
of that department.
All Should Be Interested.
Therefore every citizen who pur-
chases a game license should feel
that he has an interest in the admin
istration of the affairs of that de-
partment and if the money which he
invests from year to year in licenses
is properly expended his possibilities
for sport and recreation from this
will be proportionately in
creased. In other words, if every citi
zen who purchases a game license
would bring himself to feel that he
had a personal interest in the protec-
ton and building up of the wild life
of the state, and would at all times
assist in the enforcement of the prop
cr observance of the game laws, it
would result in the saving of a large
amount of money to the department
each year, which could be used to
good advantage in stocking the fields
and streams instead of being used to
cay salaries to deputy same wardens
for helping to enforce our laws

viii Again
Bridge Payetfe
Ranchmen Raise Sum and with Help
OF County and Payette Commercial
Club Will Bridge Over Arm of Riv-
or at Berdine's Island.

At the last session of the board of
county commissioners Commissioners
Blair secured from the county the
sum of 81 80 to aid in building a
bridge over the arm of the Payette
river at Berding's Island.
For years this has been a promi-
nent ford used by a large number of
the Big Willow ranchmen and others
living up the river above and on the
island. In the winter time and dur
ing high water it is very dangerous
ford and large number of people liv-
ing up Big Willow and farther up the
Payette are during the high water
season cut off from communication
with Payette. Recently the ranch
men living p that way by subscrip-
tion raise a considerable sum of mon
ey to aid in putting in a substantial
pile bridge. The matter was taken
up with Commissioner Blair and af-
ter duly considering the proposition
the board allowed the sum CT $3.50
to aid in building the bridge
The pliing have already been order
ed and just as soon as they arrive
will be driven under the supervision
of the county engineer and the cars
will be put on. After that is done tn,
work will be turned over to the ranch
men interested who will put on the
rloor OF the bride and make the fills
TO the approaches.

Wheat Yield
Greatest EUer
Idaho's Crop Estimated at 12,5oo,ooo
BusheIs-South Idaho Now in Lead.

Idaho will produce a wheat crop
this year estimated at 12,5OO,OO0 bush
els.
Southern Idaho alone will produce
over half the states crop of wheat
or 1000, 900 bushels, while the five
wheat counties of north Idaho-Clear-
water, Idaho, Lewis, Latah and Nez
Perce- will produce 100000 bush
els.
This is the estimate made by the
expert crop statisticians who have
made a careful investigation of all
sections of this state together with
the states of Washington and Oregon.
Their total estimates OF the wheat
crop of Oregon is 19,15O,O0O and that
of Washington is double that amount.
Only bad weather, such as the heavy
rains the southern portion of this
state has been experiencing the past
few days, can prevent this state from
breaking all previous records in the
production of wheat. Its total grain
crop will be between thirty and for
ty million bushels.
The only section of this state In
which wheat is grown where there
has been decline in the crop is in
Latah county. Just what has caused
the slump is not known. 1t is unusu-
al for this section is part of the Pa
louise country, famous Cor its wheat.
Idaho's dry lands are rapidly being
reclaimed for grain raising and will
increase the yield this year
The American Falls section, classed
as the southern Idaho Palouse sec
ton, will alone produce many hun
dreds of thousands of bushels of gra'r
while the great grain sections of
Southeastern Idaho will have heavy
yields. But slight damage has been
done to the crop so far, the heaviest
being from frost. The Camas prairie
country suffered the most, but recent
reports from there state tnat the
grain is not damaged as badly as at
first believed.

age of this mountain trip. The fare
fer the round trip is less than two
cents per mile and it will surely be
delightful outing.
Remember the train leaves Payette

Installing New Machinery.

The water works committee of the
city council have started the work Of
installing the new machinery for the
water works system. A site has been
chosen near the FIGURING mill. A sump
is being dug and the plant is so ar
ranged that when the river is high
and muddy the water will be pumped
from the big sump after filterlng thru
the sand and gravel. An expert from
Boise will install the new pump and
water power wheels. The committee
also contemplates running an extra
pipe line to the reservoir direct up
Sixth avenue South which will allow
a number of people to use city water
and also provide that section with
fire protection,

The heaviest loss ever suffered
This section of the state last Wednes
day evening and Thursday morning
There were cloudbursts at Ola, Sweet
Crawford and ether points in Long
Valley and on Big Willow near this
city. All of them done considerable
damage but on Big Willow the loss
is probably the greatest and is esti
mated at $15O,OOO.
. wall of water twelve feet high
rushed down Big Willow Canyon,
sweeping everything before it, Caus-
ing heavy loss to the farmers living
along the crek. AS showing the
height which the water attained Jas.
Knee, farmer living in the canyon,
found trout caught in a tree -
feet from the ground.
1t is estimated that the damage will
exceed $15O,OOO and that five years
will be required to place the fields
back into as good condition as they
were DCICre the storm.
One of the heavy losers as Andrew
Little, sheep man, whose loss is es-
timated at $4,000. His sheep corral,
the largest in the state, was destroy
ed. 1t was built with a capacity for
$4,000 sheep and covered six acres OF
ground. 1t was swept completely
n NO In h.
of grain and several thousand feet
of spruce lumber.
Lee Mossman had 40 acres of bar
ley destroyed, Is tons of hay in the
sack and his barn and wagons and
farm machinery.
Bud Twilliger lost his house, barn
and all his farm machinery. His ia
ther was sick in the house at the
time and it was with considerable diff
ficulty they were enabled to escape
with their lives.
Harry Shropshire lost all his fruit
trees and his crops. His house was
destroyed by fire about two months
ago.
Jas. Knee lost his barn, two wa !!
gons, new buggy, seven hogs, 30
tons of hay in the stacks and all his
crops
Vandusen brothers lost so head of .
hogs drowned, all the small outbuild
ings on their place, farm machinery,
wagons and the like, and 20 acres Of
alfalfa ruined by the sand, gravel and
debris deposited.
R. A. Crump suffered like loss to
so acres of alfalfa.
Below the canyon proper the water
spread out and did less damage, al
though the loss will be heavy to the
growing crops and to hay fields be-
cause of the deposits of sand, gravel
and other debris left. The water
swept everything before it for a dis
tance of 20 miles. Roads are all wash
ed out and impossible, and disease is
feared because of decaying animals
only partially covered after being
drowned. l.
