Great Trout Fishing.

Fishing in the Salmon river is now
at its best. Last Sunday party of
four anglers at the Deddy King ranch
succeeded in taking more than thirty
big ones. Allen Hess classed himself
among the undaunted when a big
trout he had almost landed broke
away into the brush that bordered
the shore line. The water was shall
low and the fishermnn could plainly
) see MS prize, so spreading his arms
ana legs Mr.. Hess fell upon the fish.
Did ne finally get that trout? Well.
ne certainly did, and he was not de-
tered by the ducking received as he
hovefed over and closed in on the
spot where he knew the fish to be
hiding. This fisherman had a string
OF dozen or so.
Joe Lehr had an experience he will
not soon forget. He had hooked per-
maps the big trout of the party and
had him almost within reach when
the line snapped just above the lead
er, which could be seen streakiny
away. All of a sudden the leader
fouling in the brush, checked the fug,
ftive. There was another mad rush
and plunge, when the trout cleared
the waters surface foot or so to
make his final getaway. The per-
formance was something of a circus
act. As it was Mr.. Lehr had already
succeeded in taking a nice string

SlLAGE APPETITES OF cows
SHOWN IN BELTSyILLE TESTS

| A series of experimental feeding
tests conducted by the United States
department of Agriculture at its
Beltsville, Nd, livestock farm. re-
vealed some interesting information
as to the effect of SLIDING upon the
paiatability of various plants found
on farm or range.
During the last summer and fall
about $50 different plants and COM
blnatlons of plants were packed In
barrels in the same manner that en-
silage is placed in a silo. The pur-
pose was to study the effect of the
silo fermentation upon the fiber. and
| other features of the plants. 1t was
thought possible that silage would
overcome some Objectionable Qualities
OF certain plants, in addition to break
ing down the fiber of some which
were too woody for stock feed.
fhe various lots of silages were
taken to Beltsville to test their nal
atabilitiy as cattle feed. The tests
were not protracted enough to give
f1nal conclusions, but number of in
terestng results were obtained. Both
wild and tame sunfowers were eaten
readily when they came out of the
silo, although the peculiar and woody
stan OF the former make it distaste-
ful in its natural state. Russian
tnistle was eaten in the course of
about II hours, and the same was
true of ragweed, which cattle seldom
touch in the field. Canada thistles
and castor bean plants without seed
We're eaten quite readily. Jack bean
vines and pods were eaten rather re-
luctantly. The cows ate sliced Aus
tralian salt bush, but not the native
plant. Sliced onion tops were fed to
TOUR cows; two ate them and two re-
fused them. Buckwheat also proyid-
ed a choice morsel. Cabbages, which
IN their natural state are eaten avid
~ oy cattle, were absolutely untouch-
ed. The cattle were not compelled to
eat any of the sliced products to sat
lsfy hunger. as hay was fed them he
tween sliced rations and they had the
regular portions of grain. The tests
were not entirely conclusive. esnec-
tally as the quantities were SO small
tnat the animals did not have an on
portunity to get accustomed to nm
familiar favors.
The department may make more
extensive tests another season on
some of the materials, as there was
no opportunity with barrel lots tn
gam any knowledge as to the beef
and milk producing value of the
feeds. .'e

Mr.. Osborn's Good Work.

A letter from Mackay states that
the removal of William Osborn from
his duties as district road engineer of
the Salmon river and Sawtooth pro-
jects was made at his own request to
the end that he might secure a low
er altitude as place of residence. 1t
was also at his own request that the
state highway department transfer
red him to Lewiston where he takes
charge of what is known as district
No. 6, much larger than the work he
has given up. 1t is gratifying for Mr..
Osborn to know that rs a conscien-
tious engineer devoted to his work
there has been no unfavorable criti-
cism in connection with his employ
ment and that he takes with him
wherever he goes the good opinion
of everybody.

IMPROVING G. &P..
TRAIN SERVICE
MOTOR CAR, WITH ROUND TRIPS
DAILY BETWEEN SALMON
AND ARMSTEAD, Is SOON TO
START.

Superintendent w. N. Bickler, who
spent the week in Salmon and along
the lines of the G. and P. railroad,
gave out the welcome news that an
improved service to come with the in
production of motor traction, is be-
ing arranged, the intention being to
run the vehicle on round trips daily
between Salmon and Armstead. to
cover the run within six hours each
way, possibly in less time.
Superintendent Bickler further
more said it was the intention of his
company to put the roadbed into
good shape SO that not only the. mo-
tor may with safety be speeded but
freight trains as we'll may be expe-
dited so that they may make better
time.
The new motor represents the lat
est word in construction both for
compact utility and service, a sort of
omnibus for railroad travel, to ac-
comodate at least 80 passengers,
light baggage and mail. Just how
much mail, whether or not all the
usual parcels post matter, the car
will be able to carry is not stated,
but it is certain that all along the
line from Armstead it may be possi-
BILE to get a daily paper on the day
Of issue.
The car may be run with crew of
two persons, the motorman and con-
ductor
As to the freight service the SUI
perintendent said there would be no
deterioration but a chance for better
ment, for besides running a train
twice week there would be avail
able for prompt extra service a train
at any time or as often as required.
The success and convenience of the
automobile stages on the Salmon
Arnstead route served TO take away
from the slow mixed train service
much of its passenger business and
demonstrated the practicability OF the
proposed motor on the rails. Busi-
ness men of Salmon have repeatedly
urged upon the railroad management
the same Improvement (which long
ago became popular on. other rail-
roads on short runs. The growth of
Salmon and all other communities
served by the G. and p. will be great
ly helped by this new service.
Six years ago one of the leading
business men of Salmon sought to OBJ
tain lease of the G. and p. at a
time when il was freely admitted the
road was losing money on every
train it ran. He wanted to try out a
motor then. His offer was politely
declined. Then came along the man
with the auto who sought and obtain
ed contract with the postofrice de-
partment for a service three times a
week between Armstead and Salmon.
II has worked SO well and at the
same time so disastrously for passen-
ger traffic of the railroad that the
stages carried all the travellers or
very nearly all of them, when the
trains ran empty as to the passenger
cars. George Martin is the man who
performed this public service. He has
shown the railroad people how it pays
always to take the lead in making
The part of the story
that is out of keeping with exact
Justice is that perhaps Mr.. Martin

road may be able to deprive him of

Find Hough Not Guilty"

The jury in the case of Jay e.
Hough, who was tried in the superior
court of Spokane on charge of for
gerry, in connection with the alleged
defrauding of James Callahan, of
Wallace, out, of 100000 by forged
securities, returned a verdict of not
guilty Friday night. Hough was re-
turned to the county Jail where he is
being held on three other charges
growing out of the series of trans
actions by which the Wallace mining
magnate was defrauded out of vast
sums. Hough blamed the crimes up
on his former partner, John B. Mil
holland, who committed suicide after
Hough had confessed their crimes.
Hough testified that he was forced
by Milholland, who threatened to kill
him, to forge he securities sold to
Callahan.
