If the boy is not companion to

under the same roof and share the

UNIVERSITY MAY SELL
FINE HEREFORD BULL

The University of Idaho depart
ment of animal husbandry, is about
to sell it's fine Hereford bull, Uni
versity Don, to the A. B. Cook stock
farm, at Townsend, Montana. George
Sims, manager of the farm, spent
yesterday at the university inspect
ing the stock and made a flattering
offer for the bull which is regarded
as one of the bests in the west. The
offer will probably be accepted.
The A. B. Cook farm is one of the
extensive purebred livestock farms
of Montana, having more than 400
head of purebred, registered Hereford
cattle and many purebred horses. If
Mr.. Sims gets University Don the
great bull will be shipped to Montana
as one of the herd sires of the Cook
farm. Mr.. Sims spent much time
at the livestock barns and spoke in
the highest terms of the livestock on

per, so | am going to tell you a little
of what I saw.
We left Guantanamo bay, Cuba, on
Saturday, March 9th We had a
rather rough trip as this is the season
of the strong west trade winds Well
it took US about 81 hours to cover
$50 miles. Some tripl We came along
the northern coast Of Haiti and Santo
Domingo. Then past Porto Rico and
down to Charlotte Amalie. 1t is a
town on the island of st. Thomas in
the West India group, commonly cal
led the Virgin Islands.
This place is rather historic. This
is where Christopher Columbus land
ed, believe on his second exploratory
trip from Spain, so you can well i'm
agine its age. 1t is a very pictur-
esque place. Built on three little hills
as enclosed picture will show, and can
only be gotten into through very
protected harbor. l must say it is a
beautiful place, and of course 1 had
to see it all. This island has been
purchased from Denmark by the u.
S.. as it is a stopping place for nearly
all ships travelling to South America
and the U. S.
There is large marine canton
ment here, also a naval base, with,
suppose, prospects for development.
The natives or population is the
negro. understand they were brot
over as slaves by the Danish people
and now they comprise it's inhabit-
ants. There is population of about
10000 with maybe 200 white people
of various nationalities. The natives
are very poor as at present L am un-
able to see any means of a liveli-
hood. They cluster around the ship
in small boats and the men dive for
pennies, dimes or whatever one may
throw into the water. They bring
curios along for sale at very low |
prices (of which / am going to be
sure and get some.) They also take
laundry in fact anything.
This place is the original home of |
the bay trees, from its leaves is made |
the famous bay rum. There is liquor |
here but service men are barred.
Well l must not take too long to-
day, because / am going to take an

MONTANA HUNTERS
GET MUCH BIG GAME

HELENA, Mont.-Never has the
state press contained so many stories
of killings of big game. For some
reason not explained, bear and noun
tain lions seem actually to be grow
ing in numbers in Montana. This
news, while it delights the hunter, is
discouraging to the ranchman, as wild
animals cause more loss to cattle,
horse and sheep raisers than any
other factor. Losses in the forest
reserves are reported to be especially
heavy.
Bounty offered by the state, by
some of the counties and in some sec
lions by associations of stockmen
make hunting a profitable pastime,
although it is arduous enough where
the snow lies deep. Wolves are es-
pecially numerous and ravenous, it
would seem, and reports of their
slaughter are frequent, although it
must not be inferred that wolf-killing
is simple matter since old plains
men often follow them for days with
out luck. In some sections of Mon
tana ranchmen's associations have
salaried men after the wolves while in
the forests, the ranchers wage peren-
NAL war with them and with the
bears and mountain lions. Grizzlies
and becoming rare, but black and
brown bears of the smaller variety
are plentiful. These last are not dam
gerous except when cornered, but the

even the sturdiest veterans as a rule

IDAHO RAILROADS
MUST OBEY THE LAW
ALL PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THIS
STATE MUST CONFORM TO
LEGAL REGULATIONS

BOISE-Idaho's public utilities
commission has served an order on
railroads operated by the United
States railroad administration, and on
other public utilities in the state, that
continued violation of the rules pre-
scribed by law as to notices to be
given when tariffs and schedules are
filed will no longer be tolerated.
Schedules and tariffs filed under
the state laws will not be accepted
as binding, the commission declares
in it's order.
Must Submit Schedules.
Recently the carriers have been
filing advances in rates without first
submitting their schedules to the
commission, as required by the state
laws, it is set out.
This action is an indication of a
growing dispute between the rail
road administration and public utili-
ties commissions of the northwest as
to division of authority over rates.
The state of Washington recently
appropriated $4,000 to institute a
suit to determine what powers COM
missions have in enforcing or refus-
ing to enforce regulations and
schedules put out by the administra-
ton. Idaho and Oregon will prob
ably be parties to the suit. To pre-
vent embarrassment to its share in
the case, the Idaho commission says
in it's order:
Rule in Force Anyhow.
~Tba+ tho failure on the mart of
the public utilities commission of the
state of Idaho either to accept or
reject any of said schedules or tar
ifs showing rates, tolls, rentals,
charges and classifications, collected
and enforced, or to be collected and
enforced, or schedules or tariffs
showing changes in same, shall not
in any way prejudice this commits
sion in any future hearing as to the
reasonableness, legality or validity of
said schedules of tariffs"
