able trip to the historic Camp Howard

the crowd merry. A picnic dinner was
served at Camp Howard spring which
gushes from the hill top. This is the
highest point in this part of the coun-
try and has an altitude of about 1000
feet. 1t is noted for Us tall trees, steep
bluffs and the magnificent view. In
the forest and surrounding hills wild
sheep, deer, grouse and pheasants
abound in plenty. The noted spot is

while endeavoring to capture Chief
Joseph and his Indian band that were
committing depredations along Salmon
river and on Camas prairie. This was
during the Indian war, when Scone,
Foster and number of u. S. soldiers
and many settlers were killed. The
crowd who enjoyed the picnic consisted
of Reverend j. C.sIrwin, Misses Maud
Collier, Dorothy Barker, the teachers,
Miss Ingall and Mrs. Baggerly, tourists,
and a goodly number of Doumecq citi-

KENDRIcK HUNTERS SUCCESSFUL

A party of hunters from Kendrick
are in town this morning returning. to
their homes after a ten days hunt on
the north fork of Slate Creek. The
boys secured a couple of nice bucks as
reward for their trip and went out
of the country rejoicing. Since the late
game law went into effect prohibiting
the killing of does it is somewhat
laughable to note that all the females
have taken fright and left the country.
1t is also amusing to note that whereas,
the boys used to blow in from the hills
in broad daylight with whole venison
dangling from their saddle packs, now,
