Cream Ridge Farmers
Organized for Trouble

Frank Carey of the Cream ridge
section, was an Orofino visitor Mon
day. He said there was plenty of
moisture in his fields, but rain would
do much good. Some of the bench
farms, he said, were reported to be
suffering badly from the hot, dry
weather, and must have rain or lose
their crops. Speaking of the l. w.

neighborhood was already organized
and ready for any emergency. Most,

Employers of Labor Must
Obey Compensation Law

New State Law-Affects nearly all
employers of Labor in Idaho They
Should Seek Information.
All employers of LABOR in the state
of Idaho, except those engaged in
agricultural pursuits and employers of
household domestic laborers and one
or two other minor exemptions, must
secure compensation to their employees
for medical and hospital attention and
for loss of time and wages by reason
of accidents arising out of and in the
course of any such employment.
This is a requirement of the Work
mems Compensation law enacted by
the legislature last winter. That
part of the law requiring the securing
or insuring the payment of this COM
pensation and medical care became
effective July l. The part of the law
providing for making payment to en-
ployes does not become effective until
January of next year.
The official who will have the duty
of seeing that all employers of labor
make adequate provision for paying
losses sustained by their employees is
the State Insurance Manager. Ir
order that he may perform these
duties it becomes necessary that he
should know the name and address OF
every employer Of labor of every kline
coming under the provisions of the
law. 1t will be impossible for hin
to secure these names and addresses ir
many instances unless such employers
of labor write to him for information
pertai ing to this new law. Every
employer of labor. therefore, in Idaho
Clearwater Republican. [volume] (Orofino, Idaho) 1912-1922, 1917-07-20

is asked to address letter or postal
card to the Satte Insurance Manager.
Boise, Idaho, giving the name and
address of such employer. AS soon as
the necessary literature can be pre-
pared and mailed employers will be
furnished with synopsis of the law
and full information of its application
to them.
The law applies to every layer who
may employ a stenographer, to every
merchant, every baker, barber, printer,
contractor, builder, plumber. steam,
electric and interurban railway com
pany, theatre, moving picture ope--
ator, and to every village, school dis
trlct, irrigation district, town, city,
and county in the state as we'll as to
all others. Stringent penalties are
provided for those who fail to make
legal provision for securing paymen,
and, therefore, it becomes important
that every employer of labor, whether
such employment is of many employees
or of but single workman, shoulo
see that his name or that of his firm
or corporation in which he is inter
ested is Furnished to the State Insur
ance Manager, at the earliest tim
possible.
Employees, being vitally interests
in the success of the new law, ar
requested to address to the State In
surance Manager at Boise posta
card giving the name of their emploe
thus increasing the assurance that tn
names of employers may reach hi
Office in case employers neglect t

Would Amend Migratory Bird Law.

Washington, D. c., July 9. The
U. S. Department of agriculture has
proposed for adoption regulations
amendatory of the regulations for the
protection of migratory birds ap-
proved by the President August 81,
1916. A period of three months is
allowed in which the proposed amend
ments may be examined and considered
before final adoption, and will become
effective on or after October Is, next
whenever approved by the president.
The proposed amendments prescribe
daily closed season on all migratory
game and insectivorous birds from
sunset to half an hour before sunrise,
instead of a closed season from sunset
to sunrise as prescribed by the present
regulations.
The following changes relative to
the waterfowl seasons are proposed:
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin. MINES ota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho, and that portion OF the States
of Oregon and Washington lying east
of the summit of the Cascade noun.
tains: Open season September l6,
December 81, both dates inclusive.
The changes are suggested to unif,
the seasons on waterfowl in the
northern ztna, and in most instances
are made to conform with the oper
seasons under State laws.
In response to numerous inquire
the Department has advised that th'
Federal migratory bird regulations arr
not to be construed to authorize thu
killing of migratory birds at an,
time when it is unlawful to kill then
under State laws.
