Routed BY eaboons.

An old gentleman met with pecui-
lar experience at Madeira Hill, Queens
town, South Africa. Reaching the
crest Of the hill, he was about to settle
for q quiet smoke In a sheltered nook
when he was startled By loud bark
in close proximity, then by another
and another. Tie had dropped on big
drove of balloons, numbering 1t least
q hundred. Almost on every rock
there was one barking defiance at him
q little farther of was big crowd
of young ones. He raised hts stick
to his shoulder a. II he was going to
shoot, but at this the barking only
grew more fierce and more general.
He thereupon decided to give the
balloons a "strategical siddle." svacu-
ated the crest, and came down the
town side of the hill in an orderly re-
treat and not too slowly.-ExchaHge.

Exclusive Turkey Farms.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found
in the unsettled foothill regions Of CAL
ifornia and in parts of Arizona and
other Western states, where 1000 or
more turkeys are raised each season.
The establishments are located where
the range Is unlimited and the natural
food of the turkey. such as grasshop-
pers and other insects. green vege-
tables and the seeds Of various weeds
and grasses is abundant. Advantage
also is taken on these ranches Of the
turkeys relish for acorns, and where
these are plentiful, but little grain
need be used for fattening In the fall.
The large flocks Of turkeys are man.
aged much like herds of sheep, being
taken out to the range early In the
morning and brought home to rooet
at night. They are herded during the
day by men either on foot or on horse
back, and by dogs especially trained
for the work.

Nezperce prairie is gaining
quite a reputation for the many

his homestead, but died a few
weeks ago while on n visit to his
old Virginia home.
These folks inquired much Of
their old prairie friends and kind

here who still remember them.
Mr.. Johnson gained a very fa-,
vorable impression of that conn-

tract OF land in what is known as
the Goosebill section, 2S miles
from Fort Benton. This he plans
to break out during the summer

JOHNSON ROAD TO
LOCAL COMPANY
Vital Nezpercs Artery Becomes
Property Of s. Farmers and
Business Men. Soon
be Improved.

The fourteen miles of railroad
which connects Nezpcree with the
outside world, together with all
its accessories, is again entirely IN
local hands.
A deal was closed Monday by
which q Nexperec company Of 81
stockholders, a large majority 81
whom are farmers. has purchased
the johnson railroad from Ncz.
perez 10 Vollmer and viii take
over the operation Of the line on
July ]. The purchase price of
the line i si65.0OO and the new
company will make improvements
10 the rondbed aud equipment 81
that the investment will amount
10 500. 600 before the end of the
present year.
The new company has been orr
ganixcd under the name Of the
Nexperce & Idaho Railroad Co.
and the Officers and directors
named are w. +. johnson, prcsi-
dent; l. III. Jorgens, .vice-prcsi-
dent; Ernst Wienss. secretary.
treasurer: Charles w Booth and
p. w. Mitchell.
The johnson road was opened
for operation about seven years
ago. The line was constructed
By Z. A. johnson to give Nczpcrec
railroad connection with the Cam.
as Prairie line and when complei-
ed cost approximately $250,0O0.
The railroad has enjoyed n fine
patronage from the beginning but
repairs have been neglected which
viii necessitate heavy investments
by the new company to place the
roadbcd and equipment IN first
class condition.
The organization Of the homo
company TO take over the line has
been under way for the past sew
eral months and Is perhaps the
first instance where farmers of
the community have perfected an
organization and purchased an es-
tablishcd line Of railroad. The
large. number Of prominent farm
crs interested in the new company |
will insure the success of the in.
vcstmcnt.
The officers and directors nam-
ga above will have full charge Of
Tho operation of the road. The
announcement Is made that the
improvement work will be inaugu-
rated as soon as the materials can
be secured after July | and it Is
expected to have the roadbcd in
good condition before winter sets
IN. Orders for ties have already |
been placed and other materials
will be ordered early in July. The
company will continue the opera
tion Of the gasoline motor ear TO
handle the passenger traffic while
all freight business will be handl-
cd by the regular train service.
Daring the past few years Mr..
johnson, the former owner, has
given much attention to the pro-
motion Of the railroad out of Lew
iston and has several miles Of that
line in operation. 1t is probable
the sale Of the Nezperce line will
make possible further extensions
out Of Lewiston. The Lewiston
line is intended to connect with
the Nezpcrce line at VolImer and
the new company will gladly join
with Mr.. johnson at any time the
Lewiston road is extended to the
prairie country.
