ABUNDANCE OF DEER AND ELK.

George Shissler was county seat
visitor last Friday from his ranch up
the Middle Fork of the Clearwater some
twenty miles from the Montana line.
Mr.. Shissler and partner, Mr.. Pettibone
brought out a fine bunch of cattle
raised on their ranch and sold them
to Sites buyers, and Mr.. Shissler then
came on to the county seat with County
Commissioner Nate Pettibone, his part
neT' brother, to look after some busi-
ness matters. Mr.. Shisser says they
raise good fruit at their place the alti-
tude being only 24O0 feet, and that deer
and elk are abundant although they
are not permitted to kill the latter. He
says the deer are so plentiful that 1t
is like going out in the pasture and
killing domestic cattle to kill them

Seth Jones, the biggest cowboy In
the world" former president of Bor-
der Days and incidentally one of the
countys most genial and universally
liked good fellows was one OF the
principal actors in the playlet and
Oliver Dennison was also among those
present. according to reports
The story goes that Seth purchased
COW of Oliver and subsequently went
to the Dennison herds after his bovine.
Dennison, so rumor says. gathered the
impression that Seth had extracted
two bovines from the flock, whereas
he had purchased only one.
oliver met Seth on the streets of
Whitebird Thursday afternoon and with
due formality preached the heifer
topic as rumor reports. Whereupon,
it is said, the worlds most massive
cowpuncher argued bit and then drew
his trusty six shooter.
Two shots rank out on the still, balmy
November air-and the war was over.
Men ran out from their stores and
shops and housewives hurried down
town to ascertain the cause of the

Good morning. how do you like the
war tax?''
Under the terms of the "war tax"
measure, passed by congress on Octo-
Der 22, the law became effective on
December /. In accordance with the
requirements of this revenue measure
If you purchase a package Of chewing
gum or q block of railroad stock, send

ton picture show, issue a proxy to

of the board of directors or telephone
or telegraph to friend to the extent
Of Is cents charges 1t will be necessary
to contribute toward the 800 1000, 900
which the Democrats class as a war
tax
For every girl who chews a five-cent
package of gum some one will have
to pay a tax of mills, the govern
ment requiring cents for each 81 in
value, and most gum being sold in
cartons of 20 packages valued at that
sum. This is required of the manu-
facturer, according to a ruling of the
treasury department, and is good for
all the contents OF the package, which
can be sold without individual stamps
on each package so long as they are
taken out of properly stamped pack
age.

In sending Christmas presents every
one who patronfzes an express COM
pany will also pay toll. The law re-
quires that all receipts given by ex-
press or freight companies or other
carriers for articles trusted ITO them
for shipment must be stamped at the
rate of cent for each such receipt.
The express companies have issued
detailed instructions to all express mes
sengers, clerks, drivers and others like
ly to come in contact with shippers re-
garding this ruling The companies do
not have to pay this tax. but they
do not wish to be confronted with an
angry shipper the last week before
Christmas and refuse his shipment be-
cause he does not happen to carry a
certain form of stamp in his pocket
and therefore they caution employees
to have stamps handy. as a fine of $50

Boost Important Industry.

County Commissioner John d. Long,

receipt OF a letter recently from d. E.

Northern Pacific, containing a propo-
sition to assist along the dairy inter-
ests of this section. Mr.. Willard, who
Is hustler OF the first water, visited
Grangevile some three years ago with
ten other N. p. boosters who divided
up and visited the different neighbor-
hoods in the surrounding country, and
he was greatly impressed at the
time with our country and It's great
possibilities in the dairy line. Mr.. will
lard visited Mr.. Longs place at that
time and again last August, at which
time Mr.. Long, who is an advocate of
the milking strain of Durhams which
excel as both milk and beef producers.
presented his views to the visitor who
was deeply interested and expressed a
Willingness to cooperate with him. Mr.
Wizards letter, which we give In full,
shows that he was not long in getting
busy. Mr. Long win make reply at
once accepting the proposition but re-
quested that the shipment OF the
animal be delayed until the present
disease is allayed. This will certainly
be news that win be welcomed by all
the breeders In this section.
The letter is as follows:

Dear Mr. Long:
When 1 visited your place in August,
we talked about the importation OF
milking Short Horn bulls that was
being made by Mr.. j. ]. Hill, and re-
call you expressed an interest in get
ting the use of blood from this impor-
tation.
l have just been asked to advise as
to the placing OF some of these bulls.
It strikes me that II would be a good
thing to have one placed on the Camas
Prairie | am, therefore, writing you
to ask If this would interest you. II
you and few of your neighbors were
interested, it might be worth while to
lace a bull in your charge. / would
be glad II you would write me and offer
any suggestions An early reply win be
appreciated, as this matter is to be
attended to at once.
Yours truly,
ID. r. WILLARD,

Mrs. Charles A. Johnston returned
last week from Eugene, Oregon, where
she was called by what was at first
supposed to be the fatal injury of her
brother but whose recovery is now we'll
assured. The brother, who is a line
man for the electric company, fell some
thirty five feet to the hard street,
striking squarely upon his feet, which
were driven several inches into the
hard surface. So severe was the fall
that the bones in both legs were shiv-
cred and broken clear up into the knee
joints. and the blood was forced from
the eye sockets; in fact the young man
was almost '.telescoped" and yet he
lived, and 1t is now believed will re-
cover the use of his legs 1t is con-
sidered most remarkable case.

pany, No. 9 South Fourth street, which
resulted in Il blaze causing damage
of about $500 to the stock and build

The f1areup occurred at 10:30
O'Clock. WaXvik struck d match, it
appears, in order to ignite the burner
OF the pressing machine, located in
the rear of the tailor shop.
There was considerable gasoline
open to the air in the vicinity. and it
IS supposed that lighting the match
ignited the vapor. causing an eXplos-
ion. WaXvik was severely burned on
the hands and face. but succeeded in
escaping from the room.
The flames Immediately spread to
the clothing in the Don and to the
frame work. The fire department was
on the job in n few moments and
managed to confine the blaze to the
rear room of the establishment. which
was, however, badly Quilted.
The stock was somewhat damaged
by the smoke, as was the stock of
P. Girard, jeweler, who occupies quar-
tiers in the front part of the store.
The damage is partly covered by in
surance n will probably noun to
about $500.
Occupants of several of the Offices
in adjoining buildings were driven out
by the dense smoke that drifted in
