IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

DR.. +. j. Boston, a capitalist of Lew
iston who holds large property interests
in Salmon river country is in town for
few days attending to business. DIR.
Boston is a gentleman who has travelled
extensively having practically complet-
ed tour of the world, and as a result
carries with him some very interesting
information. In our conversation with
the doctor he gave us some very anthem
tic figures on immigration which were
to the effect, that during the war period
the arrival of foreigners at our doors
has fallen off more than 30 per cent
In June 1914 government reports show
ed, the doctor said, that aliens were
arriving at our shores at the rate of
5000 per day; but since the outbreak
of hostilities in Europe less then one
thousand per day have landed and
about twenty thousand per month have
gone away. The doctor predicted that
with the continuation of the war the
percentage of immigrants coming to
America would steadily decrease.

THE GAME LAWS.

An anomouous writer in last week s
Free Press deleniating upon the game
laws of Idaho wisely suggested that
the bounty on bears made possible by
the last session of the Legislature
should be taken off and placed on the
predacious, devil daring coyote. 1t is
a notorious fact that one small pack of
these marauding animals will do more
damage to live stock in one season than
all the bears in the county do in a life
time. The absolute mathematical
proof, that the small or brown bears
roaming about the country have been
known to destroy cows or calves we be.
lieve to be lacking. But, when it comes
to the coyote hundred well authenti
Gated instances could be cited in which
they have been known to sneak after {
cow several days before calving, ane
the moment the cow dropped her young
pounce upon and devour it. Tom Pogu'
stated to us a few days ago that biz
grizzley bear killed one of his yearlinl

SUNDAY PICNIC PARTY.

A picnic party comprised of White
Bird people married, manageable
and otherwise withdrew from the torrid
heat of the town Sunday, and repaired
to the shaded hooks of White Bird
creek for days outing. A team and
wagon containing a spacious box was
secured for the trip and loaded down
with fishing tackle and delicious things
for the inner man. Subsequent to the
arrival of the party at the desired loca-
ton the members adjusted their fish
ing rods and spent several hours flip
ping their hooks in quest of the finney
tribe. About 400 of the brook beauties
were secured and about IL m, the air in
the vicinity of Bentz's ranch became
odiferous with trout flavor. The after,
noon was spent in spinning yarns and
bathing, the men of the company go
ing up the creek a mile to take their
plunge. The members of the party
were: Mr.. and Mrs. Gus Wright and
daughter, Margaret, A. D. Kennedy
and family, Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. Gre

barbecue but these instances we be-
lieve TO be rare and isolated. There
fore the removal of the bounty on bears
and placing it upon coyote we are
heartily in favor of. Another stipula-
ton of the game laws which we eonsi
der wrong is the clause prohibiting the
killing of does and yearling deer There
is absolutely no use enacting law
that can not nor will not be observed.
How often does it happen that the hun
ter who has tramped for hours and per
haps for days finally stalks upon
bunch of ''Gervus Nirginius in the
thick timber, aud as they spring from
their beds and go bounding and crash
ing thru the growth of thick undes

cotton faced rump rising and falling
like a rubber loaded snow ball, how, in
the sam hin is he going to be able to
discriminate between does and bucks
before firingl We have been hunting
before now and came upon deer feed
ing with head and neck completely
buried in the bushes; and does any one
imagine that we could maintain our
equilibrium sufficiently long, perhaps
for half an hour waiting for the deer to
expose his head and neck before firing
and risk the possibility of losing the
game entirely What consummate
hypocricy to suppose that any man with
an iota of thrill in his makeup could
do such thing We expect to go down
to Boise next winter with a battery of
German seige guns and fight that law

HONEYMOON SPOILED BY SPILL
FROM MOTORCYCLE.

The matrimonial adventure of one
Nels kronquist, recent Spokane hene-
dict, was knocked into something re
sembling a cooked hat in the suburbs of
White Bird Friday when a motor cycle
containing himself and spouse collided
with a Salmon river foot hill. Nels,
who is a genial, good natured Morse
man, measuring six foot four in his
stockings, and toteing about more than
800 pounds of adverdupoise had recently
cast his lot with the company of NEW
ly weds, = and, as a honey moon stunt
decided to travel to Colorado by motor
cycle. Now in his selection of a wife,
Nels had not observed carefully the
laws of physical affinity and chose
him a dapper little lady of seventeen
summers, weight ninety pounds net.
Once aboard the motor machine, the
burly bridegroom seated astern the
vehicle and the smiling spouse planted
securely in her husband S lap, the trip
in quest of the queen city was begun
auspiciously. All went well with the
hymeneal couple until White Bird was
reached. And here-confound the
White Bird thoroughfares anyhow,
when corpulent Nels endeavored to
make the turn south of the White Bird
bridge his Excelsior collided with a
rim rock, and good night Mr.. Kronquist
The impact of the machine against the
invincivle rock ledge threw the passen,

CATTLE NOT ALL SOLD.
Estimated Conservatively That There
Are About $500 Yet to be Sold

In the Lewiston Tribune of August s,
there appeared the following article:
= Practically all the cattle of the Sal
mon river country that will be in con
dition for beef this fall have been pur-
chased by Freye 4 Co. of Seattle and
the first train load shipment will be
made from Cottonwood the middle of
the month. A second train load will be
shipped to Seattle about the first of
September and the remaining cattle will
be shipped as they are conditioned and
rounded up. The purchase amounts to
about 1900 cattle ~ Now to
any one conversant with the live stock
market of the Salmon river country and
the increasing number of stock shipped
out each succeeding year, it becomes
evident that some provincial news
paper man has been egregiously mis-
informed or got the wires of his mental
switch badly tangled up. 1t is GER
tainly humorous to read that pratt
cally all the cattle-about 1900 head
that will be in condition for beef this
fall have been sold to Freye and Co. of
Seattle
If the gentleman who authorized that
statement and committed the blunder
of having it put into print, will be-
fetch himself to these parts for brief
tour of inspection we will show him at
least fifty of our leading stockmen
owning from 800 to 1000 head of cattle,
and an army of 100 smaller investors
in that enterprise who have neither sold
nor contracted pound of beef for the
fall markets. The fact is that the pur-
ported 1900 head purchased by Freye
and Co. were taken from the herd of
Grant & Wyatt and one or two other
breeders, and the bulk of the beef west
of Salmon river from Pittsburg saddle
as far south as Pollock, and those in
parallel territory on the east side of
the river have not been touched by
buyers. The Joseph Plains section
which now has to be reckoned with as
a leading stock rendezvous has not been
invaded by buyers for more than six
months. The fact S that nobody, with
the exception of two or three have dis,
posed of their fall beef, and the idea
that 1900 head cleans out the country
of beefstake is prominently joke
A.. l.. Donaldson, of the White BIRD
bank thru whom most of the big finan
cial deals of the country are negotiated
and who is always conservative in his
judgment places the approximate mum
Der of cattle to be shipped out this fal
at $500. Mr. Donaldson estimates that
about 5000 head were turned off last
fall and this season the number will Of
materially larger. Buyers from tn,
east, west, north and south who com,
in here with view to contracting beef
for the fall markets will find beefsteal
sticking on every hillside, and fatten
ing in every pasture and field.
