Mr.. Atchison will be taken before the
board of directors of the Crescent
Woodenware company when a def
mite decision will be made in regard
to resumption of operations.

would be employed. Cottonwood and
yellow pine would be logged and
sawed into lumber from an inch to
two inches thick This lumber will be

Is Spearing Ling Unlawful?

Fishermen Of this district are won
dering whether or not they are vio-
lating the law when spearing ling.
The law distinctly prohibits the
spearing of fish and the only ques-
ton is whether or not ling may be
classified as a member of the fnny
tribe. Deputy Game Warden Han
Ion, of Occur ID Alene City, who was
in town Wednesday was unable to
give an opinion in the matter but
promised to take it up with the state
game department. If the state game
department decides against allowing
the spearing of ling it is planned to
pass special legislation next winter
providing for ling catching. The
ling are caught in great quantities
in Deep Creek. They look very much
like an eel. Fishermen claim that
the ling swallow trout and that their
radiance would be a good thing. The
meat of the ling is very white and
sweet and there are no bones in the
body except the backbone.

ter in his address to the convention

gates had shown so much interest
and where every member continued
in session each day for four days fol-
from eight to ten hours a day.
Among the matters discussed al
the convention which were not EN-.
bodied in the resolutions passed wa.
the importance of a constitutions
convention, such a convention beinl
deemed necessary by the commission
ers on account of the number of con
fiicting laws on the statutes. Law
regarding the purchase of rights-of
way for county roads was also al
important issue.
The convention was addressed b,

reelected: j. L. Woody, Of Latal

Want Aid at Copeland
w. Fl. Heideman, Observe

M. F. Bayer, of Copeland, was in
town Saturday looking after business
matters. Mr.. Bayer has been on the
sick list for the past three weeks
with an attack of the lumbago. He
tells that the snow is so deep in the
Copeland district that there is dan
ger of the wild birds of the forest
and the deer starving out. The deer
are unable to get through the snow
to hunt for feed and hundreds of
them are walking the trails they
have made along the mountain sides.
Mr.. Bayer says that the deer and
birds will follow loads of hay on the
wagon roads to pick up the stray
bits of hay which fall off the wagons
An effort will be made to have the
state game department through the
county warden and deputy warden,
take some steps to feed the deer and
birds Of the Copeland district.
