up from the Salmon river by Sam Jones
who says he has few of the most un-

of his animals positively will not sub

appearance of Jack Brown" who will
be introduced to the crowds Thursday
afternoon and who will perform in the
arena every afternoon. Jack comes

the first rank and is being featured at
all the frontier shows in the west this

new and original Indian costumes. The
Kamiah band is rated as one of the
best amateur organizations in north Ida
