Find Idaho Pigmy Rabbit

Contact Miner: Contact sportsmen
have been in controversy over a
unique andlittle known rabbit several
Of which have been killed here In the
last few weeks. The rabbit is smaller
than the cotton tail and its ears are
shorter, resembling In shape pump
kin seed, although somewhat longer
than one and the white tuft at the
tip Of the tail is absent, while the
head Is narrower. W. A. Kent sent
skin, mounted, to the Smithsonian
institute and they replied as follows:
"The specimen is an Idaho pigmy
rabbit, Brachylagus Idahoensis. This
is little known animal, confined to
Nevada, Idaho, southern Oregon and
northwestern California. With your
permission the specimen will be re-
tanned for the museum collection,
and II at any future time you should
happen to obtain additional speci.
mems, the museum would be very
glad to add them to It's collections. !"
Mr.. Kent also sent them skin Of
a small, blue backed, white fleshed
chisel-mouthed fish, the abdominal
lining of which is black and the
national museum reports it is a hard
mouth chisel- or square
mOuthed club, found 10 the Column
bia river and its tributaries.
A specimen of this fish was first
submitted to the state university and
they reported it salmon.

Of the state yesterday after their
ten days encampment on the

noticing the Improvement in
personal conduct of the men and
their knowledge OF drill and the
duties of the soldier.
Every organization showed that
their commanders had worked
hard with them on their home
drill floors. Any Idaho citizen,
who believes in the benefits Of
military drill and instruction and
in the preparation Of men to de-
fend the nation in the emergency
of war, would have been proud to
see the showing made by the
Idaho regiment in the grand
brigade review on the beach at

noon. The other troops. taking
part were the 3rd Infantry, Oregon
national guard, the 2Ist Infantry,

battery OF artillery with signal and
hospital corps and bands. The
Idaho regimental band, located at
Standpoint, was pronounced the
best in camp.
Lieut.. Col. John F. Morrison of
the U. S. army was chief instruc-
tor in the camp, assisted by the
officers of the 2Ist.
Colonel w. II. Edelblute of
Rathdrum commanded the Idaho
regiment which consists Of eleven
companies divided into three
battalions, the Ist commanded by
Major Clement Wilkins OF Clark's
Fork; the end by Major II. T.

Amos Danielson, while at work
last Saturday on his place near
Plummer, saw large female bear
with two good-sized cubs. He
ran to his house for a gun and
made search for the animals. He

fellow found the bear and set up a
fight, but was soon defeated. Mr..
Danielson took after the animals
He came to clear place and
stopped to rest, when he saw them.
He took shot at the big bear and
wounded her. The infuriated
animal took circle unbeknown to
Danielson, who had mounted a
fallen tree to watch for her,
Presently he was surprised by
hearing heavy growl from behind
him. Upon looking around he
discovered the infuriated beast
close upon him. He at once
leveled his trusty gun and fired a,
her. She fell almost at his feet.
He notified his neighbors and they
came to assist him in dressing ol
the animal, which weighed abou.
four hundred pounds. A search
was made for the cubs, but they
had made their escape.-Plumme,

The Davies report contains some
startling disclosures, and it appears
that Sc, 500, 900 acres of land,
granted to three western railroads
in the sixties, is still largely hoard
ed by these railroads, since they
retain forty per cent Of the original

is pointed out that 1854 timber
owners hold over cne-twentieth Of
the land area of the entire United
States from Canada to the Mexican
border. Washington, Oregon,
California, Idaho and Louisiana
are in the hands of the timber

potential evils in this large con-

Jackson.
Aside from their fight for statutory
suffrage, the women of Mississippi arc
going to play prominent part in leg
islation proposed at the approaching
meeting of the State law-making body
providing the session does not become too
stormy for the presence of the gentler
sex, which now seems imminent
The Mississippi Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs and allied organizations have
named central committee, with Mrs.
Lizzie George Henderson of Greenwood,
daughter of the late Senator j. z.
George, as chairman. This committee
has issued an earnest address to the
lawmakers setting forth the reforms
they hope to accomplish.
The address first mentions an im-
proved child labor law, the present stat
ute on that subject being regarded as
virtually dead letter, because no prop
er machinery is provided for its enforce
ment.
The committee next asks for school
for the instruction of juvenile Offend
ers and defectives-not state reform
atory, but an institution on more hut
manitarian lines.
The next measure proposed is a stat
ute raising the age of consent from Is
to IS years. For nearly decade the
late Mrs. Harrier B. Kells, president of
the State w. c. T. u, labored valiantly
along these lines, and secured the pass
age of bill raising the age of consent
to Is years. The leading women of the
State now want it placed three years
higher.
The fourth request is for the physical
examination of all public school children
"a modified system of medical inspec-
ton in the schools, applying alike to the
cities and towns and rural districts.
The committee concludes with a de-
mand for statute making women eligi-
BILE for the offices of state and county
superintendent of education, on school
boards and on the boards of trustees of
the various State institutions.
This movement is in no way allied
with the fight for statutory suffrage,
although some of the prominent leaders
are members of both organizations. The
address of the committee has been placed
in the hands of every member of the
Legislature, and an executive committee
will come to jackson Immediately after
the law-making body meets to push their
demands.

Stormy Legislative Session.

The bitter feud between Gov. Brewer
and Lieut.-Gov. Bilbo, with the latter's
indictment at Vicksburg on bribery
charge, is causing much apprehension
among State officials, the heads of State
institutions, and all others interested in
new legislation to be proposed at the
approaching legislative session.
That this political strife is going to
hamper all forms of legislation, and
produce endless complications, is the gem
eral belief in all quarters. 1t is known
that the present intention of Lieut-Gov.
Bilbo's followers is to bring impeach-
ment proceedings against Gov. Brewer,
Dust him from office, and install Bilbo
in his stead. This means fight the
like of which has not been witnessed in
Mississippi since reconstruction days.
Both sides are expecting a struggle OF
this sort, and getting in readiness for it,
the friends of Gov. Brewer, feeling conf
aent that, in spite of Bilbo's strong fol
lowing, he will not be able to accomplish
his purpose.
Unless the unexpected happens within
the next week there is practically no
hope of averting the political clash, and
q prolonged struggle win mean compli-
cations of serious character confronting
nearly every bill introduced. Fuel will
be added to the flames by the fact that
the legislative session also virtually
means the opening of the next State
campaign, and the lesser political figures
are going to get busy grinding their
axes,
