sTOCKMEN HOLD MEETING.
Elected Officers and Transacted Other
ImDOrtant Business.

The Idaho county Stockmen's Asso-
citation, of which Robert Griffith is
president, held its annual business
meeting and election of officers Satur-
day afternoon. There was an unusu-
ally large attendance OF representative
stockmen present from all parts of the
Salmon and Snake river country, and
the meeting was highly enthusiastic.
The reports given by members of the
organization indicate that the cattle
and sheep industry of this section is
constantly on the increase, and pre-
: diction was made that during the next
two years the live stock holdings of
local cattle men would be increased
about fifty per cent While the open
range of this territory is being pretty
well utilized both in the higher and
lower country, 1t was the opinion of
the stockmen that more forage and
grain for feeding purposes would be
grown in the future than at any time
in the past. 1t was estimated that
nearly 10000 head of beef cattle were
sold out of the country this year, aside
from the large number of hogs and
sheep and wool that were also disposed
of. II fellow will sit down for a
minute and figure up what these sales
amounted to in dollars and cents, he
will decide in his own mind whether
there is money circulating in the coun-
try, or whether the people down here
are all dead busted"
Edward Vincent who was present al
the meeting, announced that, the White
Bird-Slate Greek Stock Association, q
branch of the county organization, haC
made application to the forestry de
partment for the isolating OF bee
pasture for the specific benefit OF thu
no ~ cf1I \.
would comprehend an area of abou
5000 acres in the vicinity of the Flor
ence road ON the head waters o
Slate creek, and would be strictly
retaining pasture for marketable beef
THE present method of disposing o
fall beef said Mr.. Vincent, lis unsatis
factory to the cattle men, first, by rea
son of the fact that the cattle mus
be rounded up early, and brought dow
to the lower country out of the bes
range, and sometimes they must b
held there for weeks waiting for buy
er to come along and the loss In weigh
during this is very perceptible.
The new pasture Will oby1ate TO
large extent the necessity of the oil
round UP which usually takes week
of hard riding, because the stock wi
be placed in the pasture in July whe
they are salt hungry and easily co
raled. The buyers can then be col
Quoted direct to the pasture and mai
their purchases, and when cattlema
drives his stock out to the railroa
there will be no cuts or culls to
driven back home or disposed of
sacrifice figures" 1t is believed thu
the department will cooperate with Il
stockmen In this new enterprise, al
a permanent fence will be place
around the enclosure.
The newly elected officers of Il
association are: Robt Griffith, pres
dent; g. J. Wright, Secy.-Treas
s. Vincent, George Behean, Fred Pain
er and Revillo Johnson constitute Il
executive board. The stockmen's a
nual ball will be held at White Biz
Friday, January 20. This is preen
nently the social affair of the ye
here, and will be very largely atten
ed.

WHITE BIRD STATE BANK.

White Bird, the lively little Salmon
river metropolis, is soon to have an
other bank. Articles of Incorporation
have been approved by the state bank

stock, it is said, will be owned ex-
chpsively by local business men and
stbckmen of the Salmon river country,

TIE POPULARITY OF GOOD
ROADS IN CALIFORNIA.

The recent vote on a $15,000,0 600 bond
issue to carry on the construction OF
good roads in California affords q
good indication of the growth in pop
ularity of this class of public works.
In 1910, the vote on an $1S,000,O00
bond issue to inaugurate state high
way system was 93,297 to S0.509 in fav-
or of it, and there were IA counties
which cast an adverse vote. In the
election last November there were 49,
239 affirmative and 1877 ,107 negative
votes and every county voted for the
issue. While the sentiment against
road improvements increased 20 per
cent, as expressed by the number of
votes cast, the favorable sentiment
increased $50 per cent during six years
experience with better highways. The
strongest opposition to the state bond
issue of 1910 was in Los Angeles
county, where the people vored against
the proposition by 26,954 to 1865. In
1916 the bond issue was carried by
vote of 126,361 to 39,4S5. This is
particularly significant because the
greatly increased free use of improved
| roads there by commercial vehicles
has aroused strong opposition from
railway companies. These contend
that it is inequitable to tax them to
build expensive roads for the use of
competitors who pay little or nothing
for the privilege and operate without
any of the regulations which govern
rail. carriers. In that county, the rail-
way companies not only paid for their
franchises in many cases and pay
to s per cent of their gross income to
the cities and state, but are also re-
sponsible for the construction and
maintenance of the pavements on the
streets they traverse for a width of
2 feet outside the outer rails. This
feature of the road problem in Cali
fornia is not likely to be settled for
some time

County Commissioner elect Jay D..

Marsh w. Brown, went out to the
county seat on Sundays stage where
they will qualify for the county offices
to which they have been elected. Mr..
Rhoades says he expects to do every
thing in his power during his term
of office to better the public highways
of the Salmon river country, and will
use his official influence to further the
| interests of the North and South state
highway. He believes the people of
this section are entitled to bridge
across White Bird creek to connect

, span should be constructed across
| the Salmon to facilitate traffic with
the west side of the river. Mr.. Rhoades
has all the qualification of county
commissioner, being possessed with
good Judgment and practical business
sense; and while the gentleman is 9
little unfortunate in consorting witt
the descendants of Jefferson, we pre-
dict that he will make good.

Rush to File on Additional
HOmesteads.

That the vacant lands of Salmon and
Snake river country by no means
a worthless commodity, and are well
worth the consideration it takes to OBJ
tain them from the government is evil
denced by the fact, that the local land
office has been swamped with applica-
tions for homesteads. Nearly twenty
five applications have been taken by
Mr.. Wright the past week. and he ex-
poets the number to increase as soon
as the. provisions of the new law be
come generally known. Allen O. Hess
was the first man to file under the late
ruling, and was fortunate in securing
an additional half section of land con-
tigious to his original entry. 1t is
not believed here that second entry
man will apply for land already filed
on by his neighbor, as such filings
might result In misunderstanding j.

That the little city OF White Bird
will be efficiently policed, and law and

during the next two years If evidenced
by the fact that, two Justices of the
peace and constable will qualify for

CHIPPEWA BAND
HAS SEPERATE IN
TERESTS,

Notwithstanding the consolida-
ton of the interests of the Chip
pewas of Minnesota under the Act
of 1889, each Chippewa band un-
der treaty stipulations have seper-
ate and distinct interests.
For instance, the Red Lake
band has sold to the United States
under a treaty since 1889, a large
portion Of the diminished Red
Lake Reservation which was re-
served from the consolidation
ostensibly for purposes of allot-
ment, aud the Red Lake Chippe-
was have been receiving annually
large payments to the exclusion Of
the other Minnesota Chippewas-
The Pillager Chippewas have
retained attorneys to prosecute
their claim against the United
States for what is known as The
Long Prairie Country" by them.
And now comes the Mile Lac
band which is contending that
inasmuch as all its pine timber and
lands had been entered by settlers
under the homestead and pre- emp
ton laws of the United States
before the consolidation of 1889
had taken place, the members of
the band have an exclusive right
to the amount Of the judgment
obtained against the government
within the past two years and
which now amounts to approx
mately seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars with interest. IL
was decided last Year by the Mile
Lac Indians that a suit would be
commenced to determine the ques
ton at issue, and 10 doubt this
will be done before long.
The Mile Lac Mississippi band
has equal rights to the White
Earth and Mississippi Chippewa
reservations that the other Missis-
sippi bands have, according to the
treaties of 1865 and 1867; but the
Mile Lac Chippewas had exclusive
right to the Mile Lac Reserva-
ton which was given to them by
the treaties of 1868 and 1865, on
account of their good behavior
during the Indian outbreaks of
1862 and their assistance to the
government in SURPRISING it
among the Chippewas.
The Mile Lac Chippewas will,
through their representatives, op-
pose any appropriations from the
| Judgment referred to, next Writer,
| which has in view the payment" of
| it to all the Chippewas of Mime
sofa.
