ELK HERDS FACE DEATH
BECAUSE OF LONG DROUTH
Wild Animals Confronted by Pros
poets of Hard Winter With
Range Devoid of Feed.

Officers of the forest service and
the biological survey, and of the states
of Wyoming and Montana are seri-
ously concerned over the proba bility
of heavy losses of elk this winter. The
open ranges upon which the elk herds
in the territory tributary to Yellow
stone Park are dependent during the
winter, lie in the heart of the region
so seriously affected by the drought
this summer. AS result, very little
forage has been produced by these
areas. and the outlook for the coming
winter is grave one. If the winter is
open and mild. the elk may escape
with no more than normal loss, but
if the winter is severe one of long
duration and marked by heavy crusts
on the snow, loss of so per cent or
more of the animals will not be at all
improbable.
The stock of hay in the possession
of the federal and state authorities in
Jackson Valley is Is per cent above
normal, but up to this time, many of
the elk have wintered upon the pas
lures and hay-stacks of the settlers,
This year, the pastures are in poor
condition, the hay-stacks scanty, and
the settlers confronted with the necs~
sity for utilizing every pound of for
age available in order to winter their
domestic stock. Under such circun,-
stances bad winter will result in n
very heavy death loss of elk.

STORY OF THE LOST
BATTALION IS MOST
ROMANTIC OF WAR
Splendidly Pictured by D. w. Friffith
in "The Girl Who Stayed
at Home"

No more romantic story of the war
has come than that of the famous Lost
Battalion. and of the ringing answer
made to the Germans by the Ameri-
can commander when they demanded
his surrender. 1t has been told in
story and in many columns of news
paper print. The men of the battalion
have been pictured in the dalies and
in the weekly news reels of tn moving
picture theatres, but it has remained
for David Wark Griffith to immortal
ize that story by ompressing it in the
indelible cel1uloid of photo drama.
The new Griffith picture is not a
war play. 1t has in its plot some
things that have to do with war and
there are some battle scenes shown
that are said to be the best yet
screened, especially one of night
attack when the parachute flares and
a box barrage are seen working
simultaneously The short chapters
that deal with the actual fighting, deal
almost exclusively with the charge and
siege of one of the lost companies that
faced the Huns along the Argonne
and who made that classic everlasting
answer

shown at the Huree theatre for run
of two days beginning Monday. It
was written BY S. E. v. Taylor and is
played by Griffin players, headed by
Robert Heron, who presents char
acter he has never before attempted.
but which is said to show versatility
in this actor that even he himself had

VALUABLE Personal
PROPERTY DISAPPEARS
Mrs. Thomas Hill Returns From
Summer Outing to Discover Loss
of Priced Linen.

Va AizSu
Mrs. Thomas Hill, wife of a local
sheepman, returned from the noun
tains Saturday to find that someone
had appropriated all of the clothing
and fine linen which she had stored
in tn basement of the Saratoga hotel
building OF a large trunk packed
full nothing remained but two hats
belonging to Mr.. Hill and two books.
No financial arrangement had been
made with the hotel management to
store the goods and consequently she
has no recourse. Included among the
things which disappeared was a large
amount of hand embroidered fine
work which Mrs, Hill priced highly
and whose money value, while great,
was not commensurate with the loss
which she felt.
The disappearance was reported to
the sheriff's office under the belief that
the goods had ben stolen by somonc
who had access to the basement of
the building No arrests have been
made and no one is available upon
whom to attach suspicion. The rob-
berry occurred while Mrs. Hill was en-
joying the hot summer months with
her husband in the mountains, 1t was
their intention to build a home in
Caldwell this fall and much of the
personal property which was stolen,
had been intended for their new home

PROMPTLY HALT
MENAC|NG FIRE
BIG BLAZE NARROWLY AVERT
ED TUESDAY EVENING;
LOSS SLIGHT.

What might have been a disastrous
fire but for prompt and efficient work
on the part of the local fire depart
ment occurred Tuesday evening about
10 o'clock in the basement OF the
Sherman Miller hardware store. The
origin of the fire is unknown but it is
believed it started in some way in a
box of materials which were packed
in excelsior.
The firemen had just completed re-
dressing after their water carnival ex-
hibition when the alarm was sounded
A special cellar nozzle was placed
through the floor of the building
which threw circular flying stream
of water on the blaze. Some linsecd
OIL which was packed in the basement
of the store, partially ignited and COM
pletely filled the basement with smoke
so that an investigation to locate the
exact osition of the fire was impos-
sible.
Use Cellar Nozzle.
Fortunately, the big nozzle was
turned On within few feet of the
blaze, but the firemen were not aware
the basement and locate the blaze
Gated just as rapidly as they were in
troduced because of the density of the
smoke and absence of oxygen. Spot
lights would not penetrate the smoke
sufficiently far to permit an investiga-
ton with them. Orel Sovereign, fire
chief. wearing helmet. several times
endeavored to locate the blaze but
was unable to do So
Use Too Much Water.
Considerable more water was used
than would have been necessary had
the nature and location of the blaze
been obtainable Flames were eating
through the floor when the depart
ment began operations and had they
progressed much farther, Mr.. Sover-
eign gave it as his opinion that moth
ing could have prevented a serious
conflagration.
Damage to the building was the
chief loss though some merchandise
was soaked. No estimate was made of
the amount of loss sustained but it
was asserted that it was quite small.
The property is fully insured.
Too Much Help.
In speaking of the crowd which as
sembled to watch the work of the
firemen, Orel Sovereign stated that
people are too anxious to assist the
fire department with suggestions.
Crowding close to the scene Of opera
tions even when only good intent was
exhibited. he said, was serious handi-
cap to the work of fighting the blaze.
People forget, Mr.. Sovereign believes,
that the fire department is specifically
organized to fight flames and that it is
capable of doing the work,

OF production of pork on different
farms ranges from 6H to l3H cents

both affairs.
INTERESTED IN GRAIN
SCHOOLS.
Keen interest in the grain grading
schools which are being conducted in
the southeastern counties is reported
bv B. F. Sheehan, field agronomist OF
he extension division. The attend
ance is good.
BUILD LOTS OF SILOS.

movement in the building of slos is

CASSIA PLANS BIG FAIR.
Extensive arrangements are being
made for the Cassia county fair, Sept.
II, II and g. Owing to the fact that
the county did not have a fair last

cess, and the county commissioners
have appropriated $4,000 to help pay
expenses.
HAS $4,000 GLADIOLA PLANTS.
w. c. Frazier, of Midway, Canyon
county, will have $4,000 gladiola plants
of blooming size, this year. There are
$50 varieties.
NEW DESIGN FOR WEEDER.
Blue prints are being sent out from
the offices Of the extension division
to all county agents, showing how to
make bar weeder for summer fallow-
ing. The design is suggester by L. c.
Aicher, of the Aberdeen substation
The weeder is simple of construction
having a single long knife under a
platform, with a board projecting to
the rear, which enables the operator
to regulate the cutting depth by stand
ing near the front or back. 1t has a
spread of eight feet. 1t is said to be
economical to make and convenient
to operate. Paul Wenger, assistant
field agronomist, who is sending out
the blue prints, advocates its use es-
pecially in fighting Canada thistle and
similar weeds where a summer fallow
method must be employed, as he says
it will greatly lessen hand work.
PICKS OUT FINE SEEDS.
In his first weeks work for the
Idaho Seed Growers association
Charles B. Allison, field agent, found
that in Canyon, Gooding and Lincoln
counties prospects for exhibits were
best in Dent corn, Marquis wheat
potatoes, Alsike, Turkey Red, Little
Club, red clover, Dicklow wheat
Swedish Select, orchard grass and

ment by County Agent H. c. Avery.
The increase in this number has been
from 10 to 20 per cent year, for the

at the head of these farm flocks are
found by the farm bureau to be
grades, and an effort is being made
to encourage the introduction of pure
breds. Cooperative marketing facil-
tiles established in Jerome county by
