TRAPPER CAPTURES I
YOUNG WOLVES IN DAY

George Nichols, United States Bio,
logical Survey trapper, who operates
near Leadore, Idaho. recently cap
tured seven young wolves in one day
and wounded the mother of the pups
according to a report received here
today by f. f. Ayerill, OF the survey
office here.
The wolves are known to have KILL
ed two horses, and the night before
the pups were taken by the trapper.
they killed and ate two year old
heifer. Stockmen of the Idaho Sec
tion pay n bounty of 500 each for
every wolf killed. but Nichols is un-
able to claim the bounty because he
works as q government trapper. For
stockmen he has saved, by killing the
wolves. about $1,000. the estimated
damage for the seven in one year
Reports by MIR. Averill show that
in oregon, Washington and Idaho
during the past month 762 predatory
animals were killed. besides 400 un-
born young all of which were old
enough to be bountied. This IS a
saving on bounties as the trappers
do not receive bounties for work done
for the government, as well as the
saving OF stock by the removal of pre-
datory animals.

HOUSE OWNERS MUST
GIVE 80 DAYS NOTICE

Desire to sell a tenanted house is
not sufficient grounds upon which to
oust the tenant without the customary
80 DAYS notice, Justice of the Peace
J. II. Parkes ruled yesterday in the
case Of Florence Smith VS.. j. O.
Finch. Finch took the house under
a verbal agreement that he could
have it as long as he wanted" which
the judge construed as d sear lease.
The plaintiffs admitted that there
were no objections to the tenant in
the fulfilIment of the agreement. Dis
trict Attorney r. I. Keator said today.
The house was desired vacated so that
tho plaintiff might sell. but she had
given the tenant but three days in
which to move. The latter, having
planted garden and spent money for
small improvements. desired to re-
tain possession.
The case is considered interesting /
in view of the housing condition To- /
cally. The decision upholds the va |
Iidity of the verbal agreement con-
tract and prohibits owners from re-
moving tenants at will when selling /
houses already occupied.

PARIS. May 21.--The time limit for
submission of German observations
on the peace treaty expires at to-
morrow afternoon. After the big
four" complete their perusaI of these
last communications the date will be
fixed upon which the Germans must
definitely accept or refuse the terms.
This will depend upon the nature OF
the observations. There is no indica-
tion that the treaty will be changed
in any way.
Progress of assembling the Austrian
treaty has been such that il is now
believed it may be ready for sigma
ture practically at the same time as
the German document. The Austrf-
ans probably will not be given more
than week for discussion OF the
terms.
The disposition of the Austrian DEL
egates indicates that there will be
very little quibbling over the 'provi-
sions.
In the normal course Of events 1t Is
estimated that Wilson will be able
to depart to the United States about
June T..
Although allied delegates continue
optimistic there is more actual ques-
tioning as to whether the Germans will
sign than when they first arrived at
Versailles. 1t is regarded significant
that the allies are not overlooking
any precaution.
Korea Wants Freedom.
The Korean delegation today an.
nounced a petition to the peace con.
ference demanding freedom from Ja-
pan. They also gave out a letter to
Wilson in which they charged Ja-
