The singers ch6ren up to boys and girls just short of the adult and they banded themselves together into formal body known as the "Children's Aid Christmas Caroers of Detroit

Bear Bounty Repealed.

A. NJ. StebbinS. county defooter Of
Bonner county, was notified last week
from the game department at Boise
of changes In the state bounty law by
which bounties are removed from
bears and gophers and increased on
wolves to $50 and on cougars To $50.
Instead of having county defooter
the work formerly devolving upon the
defooter now becomes the duty of the
sheriff aud instead Of taking the feet
of the predatory animal the scalp Is
split aud the scalp pelt is turned In
for the bounty.
Idaho has been the only state in
recent years to pay bounties upon
bear and the states bill for bear
bouuties has been averaging $1,000 a
mouth, according to the information
sent Mr.. Stebbins by the game de-
partment. In the absence OF bear
bounty iu neighboring states, it is
suspected that the state had paid
bounties for bear killed 10 adjoining
states and that IS one reason given
for the repeal Of the law.-Pend d.

HAD SILO EXCURSION
Boost For Dairy Farming In
KoOtenai County.

That the farmers OF Kootenal
county are very much interested in
slos and better farming was mani
tested by the large attendance at the
first Silo excursion which was held
Friday, May 9. says the report from
Occur d'Alene. Ten autos carrying
about 40 information seekers were
piloted by County Agent H. H. Beier
over a route that he had planned. +.
r. Cammack, Geld dairyman with the
University Extension Division, was
along and offered some valuable
Information on the various problems
under consideration. At each farm
such topics as silo types, methods of
construction, costs, silo construction
equipment, dairy stock, and general
farm management were studied from
a practical point OF view.
The hungry excursioniSts reached
Post Falls at noon and enjoyed a
splendid lunch which the business
men of Post Falls had arranged fer
them by the home economics depart
ment Of the high school. After the
lunch few short talks were made,
K. II. Taylor, president Of the farm
bureau, commented on the necessity
OF better farm practices to keep up
the fertility of the soil and that the
silo aud dairy cow were means to that
end. He remarked that some persons
were mining, not farming, as they
were taking something out of the
ground and not putting anything
back. Mr.. Taylor spoke of the effect
that such enthusiastic gatherings
would have to help build up the
COUNTRY, making better and more
prosperous communities. Mr.. Cam
