F. G. Ticknor took q place on tbs
board Of directors of the Boise-Sunny
side Irrigation district at the meet
Ing in Boise last week. J. M. Wise
was elected chairman and Mr.. Bey
mer secretary. II was the decision
of the board that another effort
should be made to try to interest
the reclamation service in the pro-
1ect and to ask the assistance OF
the states representatives in CON
gress to use their efforts to that end.
Should this plan fall the people of
| the district will endeayor to have a
ldry farm experiment. station estab-
lshed on the tract TO demonstrate
the method Of successful dry farming.
The business OF trapping which 10
followed by number of men during
the winter months has received quite
a setback by the news that the
predatory animal fund provided by
the last legislature has been exhaust
ed, and the state Is not able to pay
bounties on animals killed until the
next meeting of the Legislature. The
statement is made that since March
last the state has paid out $4,000 in
bounties. A number OF hunters and
trappers have been making a good
living from the bountieS paid by the
state and the sale of the pelts, and
thousands OF animals have been
killed since turs became of prime |
quality last fall. The hunting of ami
mails for the furs alone is not SO
profitable, and especially since the
deep SHOWS have come, making trap
ping more difficult.
