IDAHO FISH AND GAME
Trout Season In Small Streams
Opens Saturday.

The season for trout fishing in the
streams and brooks of Idaho opens
Saturday, May /, and the demand for
fish licenses at Justice Dyer's Office

at Henry Reiniger's hardware store
will doubtless be greatly stimulated.
Good fishing is anticipated in the
streams tributary to the lakes around
Rathdrum.
Trout may be taken at all seasons
in lakes and navigable streams. and
in streams that are not navigable
they can be taken every month except
April. Trout and bass less than four

What amounts almost to a dead
lock has arisen between Idaho wool
growers and eastern buyers, and as a
result little wool in either southwest
ern Idaho or eastern Oregon is chang
ing hands. Whereas the growers
were not long ago holding out for 30
cents, they are not now receiving
offers of 25 cents. The buyers are
refusing to buy, but declining to
make offers and waiting to see what
will happen.
Though there have been some
slight frosts during the past week no
damage of any extent has been re-
ported to the Boise Office of the
weather bureau from anywhere in the
state. Prune, cherry and pear trees
are 10 full bloom In the warmer dis
tricts and apples are beginning to
show color. The bloom is heavy and
the present season is probably the
most dangerous to the fruit grower.

At S. S. Convention.

The Sunday School convention for
Kootenai and Benewah counties was
held at Occur d'Aleue last Friday and
Saturday.
President DR.. B. A. Loveless of
Occur d'Alene in his address offered
the following thoughts for future
Sunday school betterment:
"Eighty-flve per cent of all addi-
tions to the church are from the Sun
day school. If you would develop
your Sunday school and build your
church, endeavor to secure a pastor
who is out and-out Sunday school
worker and believer. Elect for your
church officials only men aud women
who are active workers 10 your Sun-
day school. Know the difference in
qualifications between superintendent
and teachers, and select your super
intendent because of special fitness.
Secure for your teachers men and wo-
men who feel the responsibility oi
, the work, and who will make it d
part of their business.

To Fight
Forest Fires
Government Getting Ready For Very
Bad Fire Season.

A Washington, D. c. dispatch
states that preparations for what is
feared by forest service officials
will prove the most disastrous fire
season ever experienced in the
national preserves are being made
by an army of men throughout the
United States.
Conditions in the government
forest land are declared to be ex-
ceptionally favorable for devastat-
ing forest fires. The past winter
was unusually dry, with little snow
and virtually no rainfall of any
consequence.
Workmen and forest rangers now
are working at top speed in the
erection of fire signal stations on
all the preserves, especially those
of the far west. Hundreds of miles
of telephone wires are being strung
through the woods, and additional
trails are being constructed to per-
nit of the quick concentration of
fire fighting forces when such be-
comes necessary.
Several high officials of the SER
vice now are in the field directing
the work of prevention, and Chief
Forester Graves probably will
leave for the west shortly to
inspect the work.

A Telephone Quirk.

Did you ever notice that If you
place the transmitter Of the telephone
against your chest, instead of before
your mouth, it makes no apparent
difference to your auditor? If you are
talking over a desk instrument, it is
often easier to hold it against the
chest than to the mJuth. Simply
hold the transmitter to your chest
and talk into the open air. The
entire chest wall vibrates in unis on
with the voice and will transmit the
sound vibrations over the telephone
as well as your voice. The American

COMFORT FOR THE SCHOOL
MA'AM.

Alabama and Washington are fol-
lowing the Texas idea and erecting
cottages for the teachers of the rural
schools. The idea is to do away with
the old and never satisfactory plan of
"boarding round" relic of pioneer
days. In Texas the school directors
erect these cottages near the school
house and one county has Six of them
In one town the citizens bought the
land and erected the house by p1blic
subscription. This place has six
acres of land around it. 10 other
places the teachers have five or six
room cottages, live together on the
cooperative plan and hire woman
to do the housework. Texas has over
100 teachers cottages. The plan
gives the teachers chance fol
privacy and touch of home life that
is lacking under the system in vogue
in other places. 1t is likely that The

Reindeer For Food. Villa On the

Washington, d. C.-Reindeer A
Coming Food. Some of the big pack
ing house people ought to try and get
hold OF Secretary Lane of the interior
department, as he Is great booster
for one of the articles Of food In
which his little province Of Alaska
specializes. Lane said two years ago
that the people ought to begin eating
reindeer meat, and he has kept on
saying so. Reindeer Is not necessari-
ly an exclusive necessity for Santa
Claus, but the animal goes out by
itself and picks It's living from under
the snow-and gets fat at the job.
Inasmuch as reindeer are multiplying
Lane asserts that the people Of the
United States should begin to eau
them in place Of other meats. In
recent statement he declares that the
meat of the reindeer Is Of excellent
quality aud possesses a flavor as fine
almost as that OF venison."
Parking Automobiles. Naturally
the national capital city is expected
to set the pace In many respects, aud
one of the new schemes is the park
ing of automobiles 10 the busy busi
ness district. Where to place auto
mobiles 10 the business district Is "a
problem confronting ali large cities,
and just now Washington Is trying

the city fortunately has many. A
space eighteen feet wide, midway be-
tween the curbs, has been designated
as a park for automobiles. The
space has been marked by white lines

In 1905 l found myself near the In

which is infested by herds Of ele-

and frequent losses to the inhabitants.
In country like this, where he is
not hunted by man in the ordinary way
and the only means for his destruction
are cruel but easily avoided pitfalls,
the elephant is decidedly good natur-
ed. We were told by the mission boys
at Pana that in the rainless season,
when their usual haunts are dried up,
the elephants frequently wander near
the river and attack the plantations

throwing stones at them" l was told.
"They generally refuse to take any no.
tice. Sometimes mother with calf
will turn on us and chase us for hun
dred yards or so, but no real harm is
meant and the animal is not really an,

ears and raised trunk-are absent. All
the same, we do run away, although
we know there is no danger. One day
boy fell when thus pursued, but the
elephant only threw sand on him."
