been added to since, and that their mill
is running day and night, in spite of
snow and cold weather. He also stat
ed that they are in about 120 feet on
the ledge on the New York property,
and that the walls have Strengthened
up and indicate a per'manence, with the
same large amount of fine, high grade,
free milling ore. They are employing
about Is men at the present time.
Charley returned home that latter part
of the week, and he promises to have
something big the next time he comes
out.

FUND IS NOW
EXHAUSTED
NOTICE FROM BOISE TO THAT
EFFECT SENT OUT TO ALL
DEFOOTERS.
CAN FILE CLA|M---AWA|T PAY
Bounties From Present Time Cannot bo
Paid Until Legislature Convenes
Again and Make Appropriation

All persons who have pelts of pre-
datory animals and who expect to claim
the bounty money for the same should
take notice that the Predatory Animal
Fund provided by appropriation dur
ing the last session of the legislature,
has been entirely exhausted, and no
claims can be paid until after the next
session of the legislature for 1917, un-
less by some chance there should be a
special session before then, and money
is appropriated to pay bounties.
This is the information received this
week by Official defooter James Graves,
from the state veterinarian at Boise,
which is as follows:
Boise, Idaho, January 10, 1915.
To All Defooters:
You will notify each party who
presents pelts for bounty that the Pre-
it will be necessary to wait until the
ceive payment for his claim.
You may file all claims as usual with
the understanding that they are to be
held at this office.
Respectfully,
H. G. Bodle, State Veterinarian.
Can File Claims.
From the above it may be seen that
if desired, pelts may be sent in, and
claims filed as usual, but as above
stated, "with the usual understanding
that they are to be held at this Office
which means at the State Veteri-
marian s office in Boise, Idaho. The
same will of course be paid when an
appropriation is made which may be
more than eighteen months from the
the present time. This information is
given for the purpose of avoiding the
scores of inquiries Jim Graves would
receive under the circumstances, and
those who expect to claim bounties
should take particular notice.
Since the law went into effect the
killing on predatory animals and the
claim for the bounty money has been
greater than ever before, the bounty
awarded for bears increasing the
amount paid out considerably.

STAGE COULD NOT MAKE TT.

Arthur Dunham, the well known and
popular young man who pilots the Sal
mon river stage, was forced to give up
the trip Saturday, the first time in the
twenty years he has been driving on
the line that he was compelled to turn
back. BY supreme effort he got as
far as the Overman ranch but the
horses refused to face the storm any
longer and it was necessary to return
to Grangeville. However, Dunham went
out early Sunday morning and made
the trip on schedule time. When
Arthur can't get through it is useless
to send another man.

German Egohsm

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The German in Belgium shows all the
symptoms OF the common murderer. This
type always maligns the innocent victim Of
its fury or lust. Having forced the individ-
ual Belgian into unjust circumstances, that
tend TO bring out the worst in human nature,
the bloody tyrant cries out: "See this worth
less, lazy, lying fellow; away with him."
Germany stands in the shoes of braggart
who, having ruined a woman decries her in
the market place for her lack of virtue.
Germany must be made 10 know that the
world will never gulp down and digest her
Belgium iniquity, no matter how smoothly
she may soap it. The Teuton hereafter must
gain his ends by force, never by reason or
as the fruit Of good will, and force has its
limits, as he will find out soon or late.
second psychological item in the Ger
man nature is the Characteristic OF self
esteem. Whatever the German does is right,
because he does it; none can better or even
equal it. His is the first rate nation, all
others are second rate; this element is as
salient and pervssve as some strong and I'M
pleasant odor You cannot escape its pres
ence, il is the desire OF the party OF the
first part that you shall not. Germany
stands forth "a the self-msde nation, with
many Just reasons for retrospective pride.
II is also the smugness OF self-satished con-
ceit that is a concomitant Of the self-made
everywhere.
By the side Of Germsny's colossal egotism
the insular pride Of the Englishmsn appears
humane, the vanity Of the Frenchman amia-
bic and the shallow naturalization Of the
American amusing. The achievements Of the
German people are in truth remarkable, and
are due in large part to an immense physical
vitality that can endure continual drudgery
without boredom, and thus know none of the
reactions of nervous tension. Their WORKS
are monumental and are one with tho earth
from the soil Of which they rise and TO the
dust Of which they will in time return.

PENALIZING THE UNIFORM

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Ono Of tho most important problems
with which the country has TO deal to-day u

juncts OF preparedness arg the soldier ana 'ne

Price raising is a stunt sometimes practised
by the timd in order 10 get rid OF man in

this practice is tolerated by the United

In the city OF FL Paso, Tex, the soldiers are
trestsd with the most open scorn by the ma

Of defenders. When they go into store the
price of everything Immediately goes up, for

To the Editor Of The Tribune

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The leading editorial in to-day's pa
per expresses regret that The Tribune finds
itself unable to agree with many of the pro
Ally partisans" in this country, although IL
is itself suspicious of the motives Of the Ger
man government in proposing peace. The re-
greet is shared by many Of US, who have fire.
qucntly found comfort and inspiration lin
your admirable presentation of our views and
have hoped that you would stick it, and
carry on"
You refer 70 the very real fact OF Ameri-
can hope and desire that peace should be re-
stored" That hope and desire is no doubt
universal: but the question now is, How
shall it be restored? Presumably you believe
quite correctly, no doubt-that a majority
of the American people think the proposed
method of restoration should be followed.
But very large part Of that majority know
little about this war; with its causes. the
methods Of its conduct, the details OF It's
events they have never concerned themselves;
they see in it only n bloody, vasteful strug-
gle OF maddened men, which they feel should
be put a stop to.
Very good evidence Of this is found in the
reports made by those who seek contribu-
tons TO relieve the awful sufferings Of indi-
vdual participants in the contest They
tell us that there are large portions OF this
country where such appeals produce little II
any response Presumably this is because
the hearers say 10 themselves: III these
crazy people keep on fighting instead OF max
ing some compromise, let them care for their
own sufferers"
The recent German proposal is the pro-
posal Of a victor. Whatever failure there
may have been in attaining original objec-
tives, Germany feels that she is generally
dominant in the field Of CONFLICT to-day. II
the text OF the proposal left any doubt as
TO the frame OF mind Of its maker, such
doubt would be dissipsted by the Kaisers
address to his army, as reported this morn
ing
Now, there are many OF US who do not
agree with Senator Stone that this nation,
which for more than two years has been
heaping UP treasures beyond the dreams OF
avarice, is so great sufferer from the war
that il should seek TO constrain all belliger-
ents forthwith 70 come into some accord and
lay down their arms. Rather, as it seems TO
us. is that a matter TO be left for the de-
termination Of those who have borne the
burden and heat Of the day, pouring out their
blood and treasure in unstinting streams.
They know better than we do the extent OF
their resources; they understand better than
we do the ideals which led them into the
desperate struggle; they realize better than
we do to what measure of still greater sacri-
fee devotion to those ideals will inspire and
sustain them. OF that part Of the game the
participant, not the onlooker, has the clearer
vision. Z. HENRY LACOMBE.
