REPORTS DEER SUFFERING:
COYOTES AND STARVATION

Doc Denny. who came in last Satur-
day from his Cougar Ridge ranch over
on the Clearwater, says If the rigorous
winter weather and the coyotes do not
let up ON the deer there will be
scarcity Of venison this season. The
deer have become so poor on account
of deep snow and lack of food that
they are an easy mark for the coyotes,
being SO weak they cannot run away
from them or make much of a fight
when attacked. Doc says he ran onto
n biz buck the other day, and when
the animal saw him it seemed to real
iZe its weak condition and believing
it was going to be attacked, at once
made ready for fight. There was
large log lying in the way, and when
the buck attempted to negotiate that
obstacle to get at him, it was unable
to make IA 90 of it and fell down from
shear weakness 1t finally got to its
feet again and slowly ambled off up
the trail into the woods. Doc says
the deer were more plentiful last year
than ever before in that section but he
is fearful there will he a shortage this
season.
Fred CorliSS who came in the first OF
the week from another portion of the
Clearwater. says the deer are SO poor
their hip bones would make good nat
racks. and they are the tamest ne
ever saw them. They have many OF
them been driven out onto the bare

otes are raising havoc with them.
These reports are confirmed by
others coming In from the outlying
points, and it would seem applies also
to other sections of the mountainous
country. The Orofino Republican Of
last week contains the following ac-
count of conditions I'm that vicinity. 1t
says:
Jack Crabb. who drove up the North
Fork road towards Dent Sunday, in
forms 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 been in 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 coy
otes very bad, one farmer telling of
finding deer at bay, fighting coyotes,
and how the deer seemed tame when
the men went out to take a hand i'm
the fight. The deer stood still while
the coyotes fled. MIR. Crabb says the
deer can live thru so far as food is
concerned. but are easy prey for coy
otes. and are being slaughtered 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

reduce the cost to some extent, but
hardly as much as some seemed to

the entire length of Idaho avenue to

to the figures given by Mr.. Woodward
the paving of Main street would cost
approximately $275 to every fifty foot
lot, and about 500 to the lot for the

like $4,000 for the entire job.
Everybody recognizes the fact that

is "WhatT Paving is matter that

easier while in transit, as on a por-

1t requires about 400 sacks to handle
this shipment.
These cobbles will be used to
charge the tube mills, using 10000
pounds for the initial charge Of each
tube. The tube mills consist of steel
cylinders 5 feet in diameter and %
feet long, revolving on trunions ut
each end at the rate of % revolu-
tions per minute. The tubes are lined
with Flor lining which consists Of
heavy plates with ribs III inches
wide running lengthwise of the mill

ST, 100000 Measure for State
Highway Approved by
Alexander.
WILL Use AXE FREELY
Keeps Secret Decision Reached
on Educational Appro-
priations.

Governor Alexander Saturday night
authorized the statement that he
would sign the $1,000,000 road bond
bill early this week. and put at rest
talk that he might turn 1t down in
spots because of heavy appropriations
made for other purposes by the state
legislature.
1t was reported late Saturday after
noon that the governor had signed the
bill, but that he denied. The chief
executive added. however, that he ex-
pected to sign the measure as drawn,
without attempting to reduce It.
Can Save $4,000.
The governor has asked the state
highway department to build sec
tion of the Lewis and Clark highway
and the bridge across the Clarks Fork
river, In Bonner county, out of the
81, 100000 bond issue. That the high
way department has agreed to do.
That will permit the governor to veto
bills carrying appropriations OF $780,
600.
The Clarks Fork bridge will cost
close to 100000. half of which is to
be paid by the state. The money for
the states share was set aside In bill
passed by the legislature.

Among state officials it is generally
agreed that the legislature made ap-
preparations far in excess of the mon
eys available with which to pay them.
According to the last report COM
piled by the state treasurer, there is a
balance of less than $25O00 remain

departments in the general fund.
Fred l.. Huston. former state audi
tor, says there should be about $780,
900 accruing to the state from other
sources aside from the moneys raised
by direct taxation. He is of the opin-
ion that the legislature made appro-

payment.

STOCK MEN
RELIEVED
Gasoline Boat Flyer Delivering
Feed to Cattle and Sheep
Raisers.

The operation of the gasoline boat
Flyer by Captain f. G. MacFarlane
is saving the sheep and cattle herds
of the upper Snake river where stock
men have exhausted their feed sup
ply and have bought III the Lewiston
markets to carry their herds until
grass is available on the ranges.
The Flyer has been busy for the
past two weeks in carrying hay, roll
ed oats and cotton seek cake to the
upper river ranches, the runs covered
last week being in excess of 620 miles.
The alfalfa hay costs on the Lewis
ton market about $40 per ton; rolled
barley, $40 per ton; rolled oats, $40
per ton cotton seed cake, SOL per ton
in car lots: cocoanut cake, $40 per
ton in car lots and $40 per ton in less
than car lots. The freight on feed
ranges from $40 per ton for the lower
river sections to $50 per ton for the
extreme upper river. The c. J. Hall
ranch Is located about 80 miles above
Lewiston and the rolled oats deliver
ed there cost Mr.. Hall approximately
$40 per ton.
Dobbins and Huffman have about
1900 sheep on the river. the camps
being located from Cache creek to
Eureka and the Flyer has delivered TO-
them about % tons of barley ana oats
and about 30 tons of oil cake. Inc
freight charges on these deliveries nave

thatwe can sell the Jeffery Six at Sl465 for long-certainly not after our pres ent stock of materials, bought over a year ago, IS used up.
 This Is your opportunity While we maintain this present price on Jeffery Six you can simply figure that you save cleaz $150 to $20O by buying now.
 For if the Jefery Six were to be ad- vanced in price in keeping with prices advanced by makers of other fine cars, you would have to pay just that amount to get this wonderful car.
 So we say-act now. There are two good reasons why you should see your nearest Jeffery dealer and place your order at once. The first Is that you have an unparalleled opportunity to buy this Jeffery Six-the finest car in its field at from $50 to S200 below its real market value in view of present conditions.
 The second reason is that the de- mand for this car IS surpassing our expectations. We are hard pressed now to fill orders. The steadily rising prices of competing cars are driving home every day in the minds of people the. truly unusual value of Jefery Six.
 Now as to the car itself. There Is little we need to say about 1t to you now You know the name this Jefery Six has won for being a mar velously performing car. No car in it's price class can match the service 1t will give you.
 Ask any Jefery owner what he thinks of his Jeffery Six He will tell

YOU have watched automobile prices \ go up and up.
 The newspapers have been full of prlCe-ralslng announcements. Already forty-four manufacturers have been forced to make advances of from S75 to S200.
 These, we believe, were honestly necessary. They were based almost entirely on the increased cost of parts and raw materials.
 Now materials and parts are still advancing in conjunction with the proposed government war tax, will unquestionably force motor car prices to still higher levels.
 Here is where The Nash Motors Company has tremendous advantage over companies which merely assemble cars. Ninety-three per cent of every .Jefery Six Is made right in the Nash plant, from raw materials.
 So you see we are practically un- affected by the rise in the cost of parts. And although during the past six months all raw materials have ad- vanced in cost 20 to 50 per cent we have been protected on the raw ma terial side, too.
 Because we build ninety-three per cent of every Jeffery Six in our own plant we buy these materials far in advance and in. huge quantities.
 That is why in the face of these many abnormal conditions, and in the face of the tremendous advance made in materials, 1t does not seem possible

 He will tell you, too, that the motor keeps ht-tilat its fexibility and quick pickup seem to improve with use. He will tell you that it's streamlines are strictly the vogue. He will tell you that it's secondhand value Is higher after several years wear than of most cars of its price class which have seen only half that service.
 Remember-this is the Jefery Six revised, improved and backed with unqualified endorsement, by The Nash Motors Company We cannot main- tain this price indefinitely. That is certain.
 So'you see it is the wise thing, the shrewd thing, the bit of good business on your part to see your nearest Jefery dealer and place your order for a Jefery Six at once.,
 Do this now. Don't delay. Then you will know that you have bought the biggest value in the motor car market today.
 One more word! See your dealer place your order-get your Jeffery Six at $l465.
