and varieties which have made them
selves famous throughout the central

which terrorized the Sa mon Snake
sections for SO many years, and upon
whose head heavy bounty was
placed by the stockmen who had
suffered such heavy losses through his
Unsuitable appetite for fleshly repasts,
was among the most famous. This
noted old "rustler' finally fell vic.
tim to the provinces of an imported
hunter, who but recently was boasting
of his successful bout with big
Foot, in newspaper controversy
with one IF the animal trainers
of that city. In recent number of
the National Sportsman" Joe B..
Wade, of this city, wrote interesting
ly of grizzly of the Seven Devils
country. His story which is illus
trated with good general view of
the Seven Devils mountains, with
Mrs. C. j. Hall, wife of the we'll
known Lucille sheepman, in the fore
ground, is told as follows:
Speaking of grizzly bears, | had
the pleasure last summer, of visiting
Jay Rhoades at his fine home on
Rapid river, near Pollock, Idaho, en-
joying the fishing for which that
stream is famous and hearing Mr.
Rhodes account of seeing the
daddy of all grizzlies in Idaho.
James Jarrett, ''cow puncher'
for the Rhoades outfit, saw the bear
twelve miles above Pollock in the
Rapid river canyon, while looking
for stray cattle, one of which he
found killed and partly eaten by &
bear.
Mr.. Jarrett proceeded up the trai
and had only gone a short distance,
when he saw, on the opposite side OF
the canyon, the biggest bear he hao

with many. He only had two cart.
ridges in his rifle and so hurried
to camp for reinforcements, both il
ammunition and men.
Mr.. Rhoades and others accom-
panied him on the return trip and the
monster was still there nosing along
the hillside. The party approached
to within 200 yards of the bear, bu
it took no notice Of them.
Mr.. Jarrett frei three shots at the
animal and where the bullets hit re
mains mystery to this day. Hi.
majesty ambled leisurely down the
hillside into the thick brush. Mr.
jarrett said, che had concluded that
his brand was not on that particua,
bear and he had not lost any bear.

Grangeville Globe: Few of the
people, and not all of the stockmen
themselves, fully realize the great
amount of stock that annually goes
out from the railroad points on the
prairie to the markets Of the world.
When the statement is made that
round million dollars worth of cattle,
hogs and sheep have gone out from the
two stations, Grangeville and Fem,
within the past twelve months, no
doubt many Will question the Truth
fitness of the figures. The Globe
has taken taken the trouble to delve
into this matter within the past few
days, its attention having been first
directed to the matter by E. S.
Sweet, one of our leading shippers.
We have gathered from the check
stubs of the shippers named, E. S.
Sweet for the past eleven months,
John Rothlisberg for eight and half
months, the McGhie Trading company

numbers. The Messrs. Sweet and
Rothlisberg shipments aggregate
considerably over $500, 600, and this
all in less than one years time. In
addition there are the shipments of
G. W. Brockman, and scores of ship
ments by private owners which we
have been unable to secure in exact
figures at this time. the Montgom-
cry band of cattle and the 700 or 800
head purchased by Miller and driven

hood of Sl25, 600 for the two. The
big shipment of sheep Dy Z. }. Hall
and other shipments Of the same char
acter during the season, will run the
total amount wei over the million
mark. This is not taking into ac-
count at all the purchases and ship
ments of John Baer and other active
operators on the westside. That
Idaho county is one of the greatest
stock and agriculture sections in the
entire northwest there is no doubt;
but few of our own people however,
fully understand what a superior
country we have.
The McGhie Trading company ship
ped out this week five carloads of
hogs to the Spokane market, paying
therefor II cents, breaking all past
high price records on the prairie.

Home Preserved Eggs.

House wives will often find it ad-
vantageous top reserve their own eggs
in the home. purchasing them when
the supply is abundant, and packing
lime water, or covering them with
paraffiin or varnish. Such eggs can
be kept in good condition for num-
Der of months. For current use fresh
eggs can be kept satisfactorily for
two or three weeks without such
treatment, in refrigerator or dry,
cool cellar. If infertile, such eggs
may be kept still longer.

DECISION ON The
RAILROADS RESTS
WITH PRESIDENT
Government May Seize Con-
troll of All Transportation
Lines in Country Before
Christmas.

Washington, Dec. 7.--Government
operation Of railroads hung in the bal
ance today. On President Wilson de-
pended whether the government should
loan the railways one billion dollars
or put them under a federal dictator
to end the war freight JAM.
Some congressman looked for the
president to seize control of the rail-
roads before Christmas. They predict
ed that legislation for unification OF
the lines would mean a long delay The
president desires immediate relief from
railroad congestion. Under authority
he already possesses, he could place
every mile of track under federal con-
troll by q penis stroke.
AGAINST FEDERAL CONTROL.
The four railroad brotherhoods are
united with the railway executives
against government control. President
Wilson is understood to have been told
this when the labor leaders saw him
recently regarding their wage de-
mands. The brotherhoods favor finan-
cial and legislative aid to the carriers
to enable them to unity their opera
tons as suggested by the interstate
commerce commission under direction
of a war board.
The railroad executives today were
preparing estimates Of the amount
needed for 1918 to place the lines on a
war efficiency basis. These estimates
are to be Submitted to Senator New
lands representation by him to the
president on Monday. The president is
shortly afterward expected to make
known his views. possibly in special
message 10 congress.
TO FOLLOW PRESIDENT.
Legislators said they would follow
the presidents recommendations. One
senator, a labor sponsor, even said he
would vote for an anti-strike bill II
the president wished it, although in
the senator's opinion such Legislation
might precipitate labor revolution
Acting Chairman Sims of the house
interstate commerce committee. fav-
ors immediate action by the president
to seize the railroads.
"Theh ne could come to congress for
supplemental legislation to guarantee
railroad securities or whatever mea
sures advisa BILE" said Sims.
1T would take Tx months to take the
Interstate commerce commissions re-
concentrations for unification under
the railroads own control"
