Deer SION Train

Talk about deer being scarce
around here when they stop a rail-
road train. A dozen of these ami
mails held the right-of- on the
railroad track five miles above the
mouth Of Grimes creek last Saturday,
and the train stopped until the deer
saw fit TO move. That point on Grimes
creek is not more than six or seven
miles from Idaho City. Deer have
been famous for their fewness in this
vicinity for many years, but during
the past few years have been obeying
the biblical injunction to increase and
multiply. The destruction of an
initiating, predatory animals has
made possible the increase of deer, and
what are left Of these a. p. as prey
more on sheep than on deer. Hereto
fore venison constituted about all of
their bill of fare.-Idaho City World.

HONOR PAID TO MEMORY
DEAD SOLDIERS
Decoration Day Observed in Fit
ting Manner and With More
than Usual Interest

Decoration. Day with its sacred
memories was observed in a more gen
eral manner by the public this year
than ever before. A large crowd, in
autos, carriages and on foot, followed
the procession from G. A. r. hall to
the cemetery and there performed the
beautiful ceremony Of covering the
graves of not only deceased soldiers,
but of dear departed relatives and
friends. The band added its sweet mu-
sic to the occasion, and Nature was
in its accordant mood with its bringht
sunshine and balmy air.
Post Commander Wilbur directed
the ceremonies and the post was
assisted by the Woman's Relief Corps.
That venerable veteran, Richard Bar
rett, acted as chaplain and J. W. Car
michael read the ritualistic service for
the unknown dead. Finley Monroe
read Lincoln's Gettysburg speech in
an impressive manner.
In the afternoon, Rev. Father Nal
10y delivered a patriotic and inspiring
address. He is an eloquent speaker.
He eulogized the patriotism of the
veterans. When he spoke of the pre-
sent grave crisis and expressed the
hope that if volunteers were called to
defend the stars and stripes they
would be as true and brave as those
of 81 to '64, deep hush fell over the
congregation as if the gravity Of the
situation had suddenly dawned upon
them. He expressed the thought thas
in christianity anG belief in God
was the only hope for permanent and
enduring peace among nations.
The memorial sermon was given
Sunday by Rev. Stuart VI. Hunter.

RABID DOGS KILLED
Were Bitten by Coyote-Others May
be Affected

Within the last few days two dogs
belonging to Andy Little, afflicted
with rabies, have been killed. One, a
shepherd dog, was killed Friday, and
the other, a wolf hound, was killed
yesterday. Both showed unmistak-
able symptoms of being mad. It is
feared that others in that vicinity
may be similarly affected.
The sheperd dog. was met in the
road near the sub-station Friday by
w. F. Sinclair in his automobile. 1t
was frothing at the mouth and seemed
to be in a dazed condition. The alarm
was given and Ed Heath and Hod
Dewey killed the animal near Mr.. Lit
ties. Yesterday one of Mr.. Little's
big greyhounds was found near the
Dresser brothers place in the same
condition. One of Mr.. Little's en-
pIoyes was notified and upon his ar
rival it was decided to kill that dog
also. Neither of the dogs was savage
and neither attempted to bite any
one. 1t is believed the dogs We're
bitten by coyote about two months
20. The wolf came down from the
hills and after being chased by the
Little dogs was killed.
In view of the danger that other
dogs may be similarly affected, string
ent measures should be taken by
county and city authorities to prevent
dogs from running loose in either
town or country. To muzzle dog is
not effective. They should be securely
confined by a chain. This method has
been adopted in Boise. 1t is the only
safe way.

Richards Family Have Narrow
Escape When Auto Over
turn In Ditch

The A. A. Richards had a narrow
escape Saturday afternoon from SER
ious injury, if not death, when their
Overland car overturned in an irriga-
tion ditch, pinning Mrs. Richards be-
meath the car and throwing the other
occupants out. Aside from minor
bruises sustained By all the members
Of the party, Mrs. Richards was the
only one to receive injury and that
was not Of a serious nature, being a
flesh wound above one Of her knees.
The Richards family were return
ing from the Short Line depot, where
they had been to meet his brother-in-
law and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Black, Of
Boise. The party numbered seven.
With his older son on his knee, Mr..
Richards was permitting the little fell
low to drive. As they approached the
ditch that runs north of their home at
Westlake, the boy turned the. car and
before its course could be changed,

to the ditch. The axeE of the front
wheel was snapped off and the car
turned turtle. Mrs. Richards fell
face downward into the water in the
ditch and the car turned over on top
Of her. Luckily the banks of the
ditch prevented the weight Of the car
from crushing her The other occu-
pants were thrown around promis-
cuousIy. Mrs Richards was soon IL
berated and was able to walk to the
house.
The front part Of the car was badly
wrecked, the top was crushed in, the
Tenders and windshield broken. j. r
Blurrton was called, and he placed
trucks under the front Of the car and

WATCH YOUR SHADE TREES
Cottony Scale Makes Its Appearance
Shade Trees Affected

A note Of warning has been sent out
by the university agricultural exten-
sion department to watch out for the
appearance of the "cottony cushion
scale" which affects shade trees. It
has appeared in Boise and may be
found on Emmett maple, locut and
elm trees. The schoolhouse naples are
affected. In Seattle it became so bad
that all maple and locust trees had to
be cut down. Right now it looks like
a wart on the tender branches. When
the outer covering is broken cot
tony substance is disclosed. This is
the nest for insect eggs.
H. P. Ashby of the agricultural de-
partment says:
"If taken in time this scale can be
cured by proper spray. 1 have
treated number Of trees with a hero
sese emulsion, and the scale has been
cured. 1t is too late right now for the
spray to be effective. It should have
been done several weeks ago. The
next stage at which the scale can be
successfully combatted is when the
eggs mature, usually about the latter
part Of June or the first Of July. It
depends upon climatic conditions.
"The scale is easily carried by the
birds, since when the eggs mature
sticky, cottony substance exudes and
sticks to the feet Of the birds"
Mr.. Ashby explained that when the
scale first appears it is dark brown,
and later turns yellow brown. He
says J. F. Littooy, horticultural ex-
pert, agrees with him as to the grav-
ity of the situation with regard to the
Boise trees, and suggests the public
be informed, that owners of the in
fected trees may watch the proper
time to spray, as if it is not put un-
der control Emmett may lose some Of
its most beautiful trees.

COURT HOUSE WILL Be
PROVIDED
Funds for Same to be Raised by
Popular Subscriptions
Transcribing Contract

At a meeting of the Commercial
club Tuesday evening, definite plans
were made to provide suitable
court house for Gem county at the ex-
nense of the citizens of Emmett and
surrounding country, and have II
ready July 5, when the new county
takes effect. The expense will be met
by popular subscriptions and If every
body will contribute even a little, the
burden will be light.
Through the generosity Of John NC
Nish, the use Of the old Baptist church
building at Fourth and Commercial,
has been secured free of Charge,
except insurance and taxes for term
of 20 years, if the county uses the
premises that long. The building IS
80 by 40 feet, and is large enough
for the court room, the judges prl-
vate office and jury room. An add
tion will be built on the north 30 by 4O
feet and partitioned off into SIX OF
flee rooms, with hall running
through the center, and equipped
with toilets and lavatories. Room for
a vault off the clerks office has been
provided for, which the county will
build. The building complete will
cost, it is estimated, approximately
$4,000. Both John McNish and Nc
Gowan Brothers have offered to fur
nish the lumber at cost, Plumbers
Mech and Stanley Plumbing Co. ditto
for plumbing and fixtures, carpenters,
masons, painters and hardware deal
ers will follow suit, and with gem
erous response from those who will
contribute, presto! a convenient, COM
Portable and ample court house free
of expense to the taxpayers.
The committee on finance, composed
of D. NJ. John, George Zimmerman, J..
IL. Steward, Anthony Peterson and b.
B. Davis, will be around to see you.
Be as generous as your circumstances
will permit, and contribute what you
can cheerfully. Remember, it is for
your own benefit. But whatever you
do, if you are not able to help, for
goodness sake don't throw rock
at it. The committee, as well
as all others connected with the
proposition to make Gem county a
model of economy, have enough bur-
dens to carry without someone get
ting out his hammer.
Those who wish to contribute Will
greatly assist the committee by pay
ing to any member of the committee
or to either of the banks.
The building committee is composed
of Finley Monroe, Frank Berry and
Harry Titus. They will disburse the
funds, and the personnel of the COM
mittee is a guarantee that none will
be wasted. Back of these two COM
mittees is the executive committee OF

Transcribing Records.

County Clerk Knowlton on Tuesday
opened bids for transcribing the rec
ords of Canyon county for Gem coun-
ty. There were six bidders, ranging
in price from 4 Y cents folio by Mr.
VOORHEES, of Rupert to actual cost ana
bonus of $3.50 by the Canyon Abb
stract Co. of Caldwell. While it is
intimated that Mr.. Knowlton has CIV
en- the contract to the abstract COM
pany, no information to that effect
has been received here. 1t is claimed
here that the abstract company's bid
is too indefinite; that "actual cost
might be 10 cents folio or 1t might
Se 3 cents. 1t might be four times
that of the Az cent bid and still be
the actual cost. All Gem county wants
is fair and square deal-the contract
given to the lowest bidder and not to
any favorite. Accordingly a protest,
generally signed, was forwarded to
Mr.. Knowlton this morning, and no
tice served that if this company's bid
shall prove to be higher than the bid
of Mr., Voorhees,, the payment of the
bill by the commissioners will be en-
Joined. 1t is contended that definite
price per folio should be fixed.
