Coyotes Slay Deer

Jack Crabb, who drove up the
North Fork road towards Dent
Sunday, informs the Republican
that a few miles above, the Big
Eddy, near the Loseth wood
flume, he passed several deer not
twenty feet from the road. One
poor animal had beenin the river
and was not yet dry. All were
poor, and had evidently come
across the river to get away from
the coyotes. He says the settlers
along the river report coyotes
very bad, one farmer telling Of
finding a deer at bay, fighting
coyotes, and how the deer seemed
tame when the men went out to
take a hand in the fight. The
deer stood still while the, coyotes
fled. Mr.. Crab says the deer can
live through. so far as food is
concerned, but are easy prey for
coyotes, and are being slaughter
ed by these brutes. He saw one
dead deer on the ice partly eaten
by coyotes, and could see the
blood stained snow where it had
come down the side hill onto the
ice, evidently in the last struggles
with the coyotes. Orofno Re

Legislators Made Fine Record

Idaho county's legislators,
with the exception of Lieutenant
Governor Parker, are home again
from Boise and settling down to
the every day trend of private
business affairs. Idaho county
was certainly well represented at
the state capital this session and
has every reason to feel proud of
the results accomplished by those
sent down to represent her in
terests. Senator Pettibone was
looked upon from the first as one
of the strong men of the senate
and his opinion was always re-
spected, while several measures
introduced by him finally became
laws. Representatives Hussman
and Quinlan, while new men at
the game, soon grasped the
modus operandi in the lower
house and were numbered among
the active workers in that branch
of the law making body. While
not always in accord on all meas
ures, they pulled neck and neck
on all matters of Importance to
their county and the northern
part of the state and when the
session adjourned the old timers
frankly stated that Idaho county
had sent one of the best delega-
tions this year that had ever rep
resented it in the legislature.
The absolute fairness of Lieu
tenant Governor Parker as presi-
dent Of the senate drew praise
from both parties and his col
leagues held him in such high

VIII Be Heavy Stock Losses

The long winter season, while
nearly at an end, will cause
heavy losses to the farmers and
stockmen of central Idaho in
spite of their best efforts to bring
their herds through until new
grass appears on the range. The
winter of 1914-15 was a hard one
for feed but the present winter
has been much worse because of
the exceptionally long period of
snow and the feed supply has
been practically exhausted even
here on the prairie where ordin-
arily feed has been plentiful each
year. With the stockmen along
the river the situation has been
much worse than here on the
prairie and many of the herds
along Salmon river were turned
out onto the range a week or two
ago, while only the weaker ami
mails were kept on feed. The
necessity Of turning stock onto
winter range earlier in the fall
than usual has kept the range
fed down close and, with the
north slopes still covered with
snow, the cattle are liable to get
down pretty low in vitality be-
fore new grass appears. The
new grass will further weaken
them for a time and it is highly
probable that the losses on the
range this spring will be quite
heavy.
Even on the prairie the long
winter has. been felt more than
usual and stock losses are now
being reported from the Winona
country and some parts Of the
Greencreek section. Losses are
also reported from the band OF
sheep owned by John Bentley in
Rocky canyon and which have
been we'll fed and ranged
throughout the winter. The win.
ter has simply been of too long
duration and the stock cannot
stand to be on dry and short feeC
for such a long time without
some loss.

RAILWAY AGAIN
BLOCKAOED
Even Rotary Plow Cannot
Prevail Against Heavy Wind
and Drifting Snow---No Mail
Since Tuesday.

The heavy wind and snow of
Tuesday night and Wednesday
put the local railway out of COM
mission again and it is still un-
able to operate. TIE down train
Wednesday morning succeeded
in bucking the drifts across the
prairie from Grangeville to this
place but ran into bad drifts in
the cuts just north of town and
the snow plow and three engines
were unable to make headway
against them. While trying to
force their way through one of
the engines broke down and the
strong wind drifted the snow in
behind the train so rapidly that
shovelers could make no head
way against it and, after several
hours of hard work, they gave
up and wired in to Lewiston for
the rotary plow. The rotary
came up that night and succeed
ed in opening the line so that the
stalled train could be pulled back
into town about noon yesterday.
The plow went on down onto the
prairie and battled against the
elements in trying to clear the
line to Grangeville, reaching that
place last evening about seven
O'Clock. However, on getting
through, the train crew laid off
until the storm ceases and no at
tempt will be made to operate
the train until better weather
prevails, as during the storm the
snow drifts into the cuts almost
as rapidly as the rotary can throw
it out.
1t now looks as II the St0rm is
abating somewhat and it ia posi-.
BILE an attempt will be made tc
run the train down to Lewiston
this afternoon. Many passengers
are marooned on the prairie
awaiting the operation of the
trains and the scarcity of fuel
and lack of mail is also strongly
felt.
It is certainly an abnormal
condition when the trains can be
blockaded on the prairie for three
days by snow this late in the
season.

Railway Lets Employees
Use Ground for Gardens

President ]. ID. Farrell Of the
Oregon Washington Railroad &
Navigation Company has just
made announcement of that Com
pany's plan this year to give its
right-of-way and other land that
may be available for such pur-
poses. This is done," he ex-
plains, ''as an aid to national
preparedness through the pro-
duction of vegetable foods"
No charge will be made for the
privilege, and the only condition
is that such products as are
grown shall be confined to the
use of employees and their FAM
lilies.
Our great family Of en-
ployes" he adds "can splendidly
assist in the nations program Of
preparedness by adding to. the
food supply, and all who can do
so are earnestly urged to take ad-
vantage of this offer" I"
This announcement further
provides that lands not applied
for within ten days will be offer
ed,to others,than employees, when
suitably recommended, on the
same terms. al
This move brings into possible
productivity very large area Of
land as fertile and capable as the
average farm, and if the offer
can be improved twill absolute
ly remove from the employees
family expense account the cost
of Vegetables for an entire year.

Stock Starves in Mountains

E. w. johnson, a resident of
the Lowell section we'll up on the
middle fork of the Clearwater,
was stranded in the city Wednes-
day and yesterday by the railway
blockade and, b Elm G an old
printer, dropped in for pleasant
chat. He stated that feed con-
ditions were quite serious back
in the mountains due to the long
winter and that he had exhausted
his hay supply several days be-
fore leaving home and was hav-
ing grain packed in to feed his
few animals until the snow
leaves. He stated that a srapper
had come out a few days before
from the Schissler & Pettibone
ranch and said they had lost half
of their band of rs cattle and Is
horses and were out of feed and
had no way to save any of the
stock from starving to death. -
Mr.. Johnson also said the win
ter was very severe on the deer
and that the coyotes were killing
large numbers of them. The
coyotes chase the deer into deep
snow and then attack and kill
them and, as the deer are in poor
condition from insufficient feed,
it does not take much to tire
them out.
Mr.. Johnson has been employed
in the forest service in his part
of the county for a couple Of
years and will do the assessing
there this year.

News Notes of the Day

China has severed diplomatic
relations with Germany.
On March 14th the Chinese
government took possession of
all German vessels lying within
her waters and the crews were
put up on shore.
Immediately upon receipt Of
the news of American vessels
being sunk by e.rma n
submarines the big railroad strike
was called off by the railway
companies conceding the disputed
points, even before the supreme
court decision concerning the
Adamson law had been rendered.
The United States supreme
court by a vote of 5 to A held
Monday that the Adamson law
was constitutional and enforce
able in every. particular. The
decision holds that congress is
clothed with power necessary to
keep open the channels of inter-
state commerce and effectually
ends any doubt as to the consti-
tutionality of the law passed last
fall giving the railway engineers
an eight hour day.
A revolution sprung up in
Russia late last week and result
ed in the abdication of the car
and the naming of his younger
brother, Grand Duke Michael
Alexandrovitch, as regent. One
prime minister was killed and the
other ministers, as we'll as the
president of the imperial council,
were placed under arrest. Many
regiments of soldiers rebelled and
joined the revolutionists. It il
reported that the Grand Duke
will not accept the regency until
after the holding Of elections.
The sinking of three American
ships, the City Of Memphis, Hin.
ois and Vigilancia, by German
submarines was announced Sun
day and is considered the overt
act which virtually plunges this
country into war with Germany.
1t will be necessary for congress
to convene before an official dec.
laration of war can be made but
there is little doubt but the coun-
try will be plunged in war. The
vessels sunk were returning
home in ballast and, several
American officers and sailors lost
their lives.
