of the navy, in which he directed that
no provision requisition will hereafter
call for any food substitute.
Adequate and satisfactory subsistence

BLUFFED THE LION.
A Big Game Hunter Who Tested His
Theory and Won.


In the American Magazine Stewart
Edward White tells how in South Af-
rica he bluffed wounded lion and
made him run away:
"Now, [ am perfectly aware that a
wounded lion always charges. Excep-
tions are so rare as only to prove the
rule. But l have always cherished
theory that even wounded lion can
be bluffed out, provided the man does
the charging first before the beast can
gather mis- faculties. Here was a heav-
en- given opportunity to try that out.
so l took the 405. stepped out from
our sapling, walked steadily toward

he was hurt and hungry. But he had

on him at an even gait He saw me at
once and fixed ON me his great yellow
eyes.
"He sat thus absolutely still while 1
covered about half the distance be-
tween us. In my mind / had fixed
upon a certain little bush twenty yards
or SO from the lion as the point at
which I should begin to shoot. When
l still had half a dozen yards to go the
intentness of his gaze broFe be-
gan to act exactly as a do when
he is embarrassed, glancing a, right

a hasty shot at him as he ran"

THE NAVY MENU:
PREP AIRED AND.
BY w. r. RYAN.

r. + THE Little Corporal" had been
an admiral instead of the worlds
most famous general he would
have probably applied the follow
ing fundamental truth to the soldiers
of the sea when he said that 'an army
travels on its belly" for, whether on
land or sea, bodily fuel is indispensa-
BILE.
If you have ever had the good for
tune to witness company of Uncle
Sans sailors on parade you have un-
doubtedly felt a wave of admiration
and pride surge over you at the sight
of so magnificent a body of men, ex-
hibiting health and strength in every
line. And you have perhaps pondered
the causes that combine to produce
such stalwart specimens of manhood,
for In no nation in the world is there
a finer, stronger, healthier body of men
than those who man the lighting ships
of the United States navy.
One of the most important factors
contributing to achieve this physical
perfection in the naval personnel IS the
food-the ration" as the three meals
a day are termed. 1t is upon the toun
dation of food hygiene that the other
health giving factors in our man-o'-
wars mems daily routine find per-
feet base on which to build.
The ration components are fixed by
law, which specifically states what ar
ticles of food and how much of each
shall be served TO the enlisted person
mel daily. Thus the task is set to pro
cure the different items of food and
see that they are prepared in a manner
calculated to make them most attrac-
tive and nutritious
Marketing for the navy has been
evolved into a most elaborate and sci
entific system, and when it is consider
ed that the navy market basket must
provide for over 10000 men every day
it is apparent that the task is no small
one. Like the wise. discriminating
housewife, the government demands
and gets always the best in quality and
purity in every article of food that is
purchased for the men. Take, for ex-
ample, from among the innumerable
items comprising the ration, the prin-
cipal item, meat. This one item is pur-
chased in great quantities. from 500,-
900 to 100000 poundr being not in
frequently purchased at one time. This
meat, including several kinds, such as
beef. pork, veal. fowl. etc. is pur-
chased after advertising for bids which
must be based on carefully prepared
specifications that will admit of only
the best products the markets Of the
world afford being accepted. When
the contract has been consummated
and deliveries commence. expert in

The daily bill of fare is by no means
stereotyped, for it varies every day

was governed by law, which specified
exactly what articles and how much

BoUNTIES CLAIMED.
SO Predatory Animals Killed and Boun
ties Claimed Since Last Month.

Monday, official de-footer, J. A.
Graves, shipped out the paws of pre-
datory animals, required under the law
emitting to the bounty, and in the shi .
ment there were evidences of 13 cats,
80 coyotes, IL bears, l lynx, and l cou-
gar, shat have been killed by Idaho
county hunters since last month. The
records still show that the new law is
operating pretty severely on bear and
there is some question about the prac-
ticability of offering a bounty on
bruin. This animal is mischievous in
habits and perhaps a few depredations
on the herd of the stock man, but the
latter fault is not numerous in the case
of the smaller species of bear. The
law will undoubtedly work complete
determination in the case of bears if
it continues in operation. AS to the
others they cannot be too completely
exterminated.

NO BID ON HOGS.

At a sale held near Grangeville re-
Gently it is stated that no bid was mad .
when the hogs were put up for sale.
This by reason of the fact some assert
that the market conditions of hogs this
fall have not been altogether salts
factory, the high price = grain max
ing it almost prohibitive as a paying
proposition to feed it to hogs. A great
deal of blame has been placed on mar
ket conditions on the coast and the at,
titude among coast packers this fall to
depress hog prices, and some Of the
opinions expressed in this matter have
been very outsroken in the direction
mentioned. At any rate the present at.
titude of hog raisers on the prairie
seems to indicate an intention to not
engage heavily in hog raising for the
present at least.

FoREcLosE TAX CERTIFICATES.
Proceedings Much the Same as Mort
gage Foreclosure in 80 Days Time.

Interest is taken by members of the
state board of equalization in the ac-
ton of the board of commissioners of
Kootenai county relating to the fore
closure of delinquent tax certificates
for 1914 and subsequent years, The
board passed the following resolution:
1T is necessary to bring foreclosure
proceedings ON all tax certificates held
by the county for 1914 and said action
has to be commenced not less than 80
days nor more than 90 days after the
expiration of the time of redemption,
and there are approximately 5000 such
certificates that have to be foreclosed,
and said action on all said certificates
has to be commenced between Jan. IL,
1916, and April IL, 1916. Action on said
certificates is similar to foreclosure
of mortgage proceeding in that all
parties interested in the land have to
be made parties defendant, and all sub
sequent certificates ON said land after
1913 have to be mentioned and the
amount and interest figured, and all
the records of Kootenai county with re.
gard to land on which certificates were
issued have to be searched in order to
ascertain the proper parties defendant
and it is impracticable and next to inn
possible for the auditor y office te
furnish such information.
The only party who could proper
ly furnish said information would be an

Mail Contract Remains in Hands of b

Especial Correspondence


The contract between Edwardsburg
and Warren after repeated advertising
remains as it was last winter with b.
o. Bustan on the job. This line in
over 100000 pounds of incoming and
outgoing parcel post this year and
much more stored at Warren having
reached that office after the trails
closed over Elk summit. Supplies
from Boise early in September never
reached Edwardsburg and has caused
considerable inconvenience to men who
depended upon the service for their
winters grub. The contractor be-
tween Warren and Mccall has his hands
full since the mines in Marshall Lake
and Warren resumed operations to say
nothing of those in the Edwardsburg
district that have been shipping ore
and concentrates for months.
William A. Edwards postmaster at
Edwardsburg for many months during
the summer and fall had his front door
barricaded inside and out with parcel
the accumulation of grub for men in
the lower country. Already Mr.. Ed
wards he's erected large office for the
first and second class mail but that is
over run and this fall he has moved a
large two room cabin across the street
from his office and by spring will have
this complete and will be able to han
die the business of the camp. The de-
partment makes of the Fourth Glass
Postmasters freight agents without pay
and without any provision for the prop
er handling of the business. Already
Mr.. Edwards is out about $500 on build
ings alone and as most of the parcel
post is incoming there is little revenue
from the office. So tar it has been all
glory and very little of that. When a
Fourth Glass Postmaster dies if he gets
his deserts there will be a special seat
OF honor waiting for him and no ques
tions asked for he had more than his
share of torment on this planet. II
parcel post does not come the post
master gets the blame. If butter is
rank and eggs about to hatch the post
master gets it good and hard but all
this time he is being slowly and surely
prepared for that stored up honor that
is all of his class.
