FISHING SEASON
OPENS TUESDAY;
NOW LET'S GO

Fishing season opens on next
Tuesday, June l. Season for
taking of game fish was closed
during the spawning season,
comprising the months of April
and May. Many fishermen are
preparing to enjoy the sport
Immediately the season opens.
During the last few years,
said Don C. Fisher deputy fish
and game warden, fishing has
been on the increase in Idaho
county. Last year, the South
Fork of the Clearwater proved
successful fishing grounds. This,
said Mr.. Fisher, was no doubt
due to low water. On account
Of late snow, and the fact that
all the creeks are high, fishing
the early part of the 1920 sea-
son is not expected to be as good
as the same time last year. Fa-
vOrite fishing places are Mill
creek, Johns creek, Moore S lake,
Newsome creek, Meadow creek,
Little Salmon river, and It's trl-
butaries, and the Middle Fork of
the Clearwater.
Many trout caught last year
were of the cut-throat variety,
in some instances weighing as
much as one and a half to two
pounds. 1t is unlawful to take
trout under inches long.
Warden Fisher says indications
are this feature of the law has
been carefully observed.

HURLED FROM
HORSE; MEETS
QUICK DEATH
Edward V. ROBBIE, Stockman,
Meets Tragic Death at His
Ranch 2 Miles from Freedom
Skull Is Fractured in Two
Places, Left Arm Broken
and Chest Badly Crushed
lspecial WIG TO Free Pressl


WHITEB!RD May 27.-Edward V.
Robbie, a prominent Salmon river stock
man, was killed at 10 Wednesday
morning when he was thrown from a
bucking horse and dragged to death.
The accident occurred at Mr.. Ro-
bic 5 ranch, on the bench, two miles
from Freedom, and virtually in sight
of the dead mans wife, who was in
the anch-house and who saw the
horse begin to buck, but lost sight
of the animal before her husband was
thrown to the ground.
BELT CAUGHT ON SADDLE
Examination of Mr.. Robbie s clothing
indicated that the. belt of his chaps
had caught on the pommel of the
saddle, as he was hurled from his
mount, and that he had been drag
ged for some distance, and probably
kicked by the horse.
Mr.. ROBBIE incurred several injuries
any of which would no doubt have
caused his death. According to DR..
w. A. Foskett, who today returned to
Whitebird from the scene of the ac-
cident, the man Is skull was fractured
in two places, the left side of his
chest was crushed, and his left arm
was broken.
Mr.. ROBBIE was regarded as an ex-
pert horseman, and members Of his

accident. The horse he was riding had
been broken for about three years,
and was considered gentle

national government. We favor equal
justice to all in levying and collect
ing taxes and advocate economy in
all branches of the government, with
the object in view that the burden
fall as lightly as possible upon the
taxpayer. Without regard to party
affiliations, we welcomed the decla-
ration made by our present governor
in the last campaign, that it would
be his aim, if elected to make Idaho
~ taxless state.' We are now in the
second year of his administration and
time enough has elapsed to enable
us to make a comparison as to the
progress made in that direction.
We find that while the state levy of
the last year of the administration
of the Democratic governor was %
mills the tax levy under the first
year of the present governor is 81 mills
or about three times as much now
as under Democratic administration,
and without any apparent reduction
in the assessed valuation of the pro
perty of the state.
We, kindly invite the comparison
between your tax receipt for your
taxes this year and your tax receipt
for taxes two years ago under Demo
cratic administration, and which in
vestigation we trust viii enable the
voter to judge as to the progress
our governor is making in his efforts
TO change Idaho to a taXless state.
We also submit that it is due from
our Republican leaders that they cor
rectlv inform the voters of Idaho as
to the approximate time when Idaho
will be free from the heavy burden
of the extravagant state administra-
ton.

FOREST SERVICE URGES STEPS
Re TAKEN To PREVENT FIRES

fires during the last season were man
caused, or in other words preventable.
What would have beeen the result
if all such fires had never occuredG
Not only would the damage from
these fires have been avoided, but
the suppression of the remainder
would have been much more nearly
possible.
"Object of the campaign this
week is, therefore, entirely worth
while. It's success, however, depends
upon the cooperation of every citizen.

the need for care with fire in the
mountains and a personal interest
is every fire by every citizen of Ida

SAW BIRTH OF GREAT MEN
Year 1909 Was Remarkable for the
Advent Of a Number Of Personases
Who Won Distinction.

During 1909 occurred the births o.
more distinguished persons than IN
any other year Of the last century. It
is, Of course, just possible, though
not at all likely, that during one Of
the last few years OF the century
there may have been born children
whom the future will prove to be as
great as those who saw the light In
1909. but all probabilities are against
1t. It would be truly marvellous should
any one of those years have brought
into being celebrities whose names
shall one day rank with those Of the
Americans Lincoln. Poe and Holmes /;
the Englishmen Darwin, TennysOn and
Gladstone and the English woman
Elizabeth Barrett Browning; the Ger
man Mendelssohn and the Pole Chopin.
These names stand for achievement In
craftsmanship, literature. music and
science that must remain unparalleled
so far as human intelligence can fore
see. The eighteenth century had such
a year In 1869, which has been called
"The Year of Great Babies"
The conditions of unrest. of enfran-
chisement, the opportunities that came
to these notabilities in their youth can
hardly be repeated.
To those who believe in the mystic
properties of numbers there will be
significance in the fact that to 1909 be-
longs series of significant dates that
seem to be connected in some occult
way with human liberty. Though we
may admit that there Is no real signifi-
canoe in the condolences, 1t is at least
interesting to know how many dates
ending with the figure 8 have been
notable for marking eras In human
freedom.
Beginning with the Christian era.
the year 9 saw the first great victory
of the Germanic tribes under Hermann.
or Arminius, the first rising of that
power which was TO destroy the Roman
empire and make civilization Getmanic.
The year % is the date Of the Cruel
fxion, most significant Of all in the
history of human liberty.
