VOICES OF THE PACIFIC.

Where the broad Pacific's smiling
Meath the August skies of blue,
And its waters lie a-sleeping
Meath the waves OF emerald hue,
And the ships are ever sailing
To the ports beyond the sea.
Its for that my heart is signing
That is where | long to be.
Where the waves are ever breaking
Miles along the sandy shore.
And their echoes are a-rolling
On the .breezes, DER and DER;
Where the shore lights are a-gleaming
Guiding ships far out 1t sea
It's for that my heart is yearning
That is where / Ion gto be.
Where sea breezes are ALLOWING
Cross the waters, fresh and cool,
And the sunsets arc enhancing,
And the coHbing pillows roll;
Where the seagulls are a-fyiEg,
Dipping, crying, wild and free,
Is for that my heart Is pining
That Is where | long to be.
Where the nlists come gently steal
ing
Softly, silently, around,
And the bells are loudly tolling
Where the hidden reefs abound
Yes. ! hear thee, proud Pacific =
Hear thy voices callin~ n
As they'll often call 10
Throughout all eternity

Directions for Planting Trout Fry

The state fish and game department
furnishes the following directions for
planting of young FISH:
/. Do not dump your fish. Plant
them.
2. Take from thirty to sixty min
utes to equalize the temperature Of
the temperature Of the water in the
stream by slowly dipping the water
from the stream into the can.
3. Do not plant your fry thicker
than 5000 to the mile, or al average
of one fish TO the foot. This will pre-
vent large fish from devouring the
fry.
q. Place the fry in small numbers,
dipper full at time, in sheltered,
gravelly places, preferably in small
side streams or springs where aquatic
plants, etc, are abundant and large
fish cannot intrude.
). Remember that it takes the fry
twenty-four to forty-eight hours to
adapt themselves TO their new sur
roundings.
G. Remember that one can properly
planted is worth many times as many
dumped

POTATO BUGS ARE

FIRST APPEARANCE OF PESTS
AS REPORTED BY J. +. CROOK
AT FOtlRTR OF JULY GREET.

Until this year nobody ever saw
in destructive numbers in Lemhi coun-
ty the repulsive Colorado beetle or
potato bug. The insect, it had been
thought, would not thrive in this
county, but whatever served to keep
it out heretofore the barriers are now
overcome for the pest, and it is here.
As all know who know the potato
bug of the east, the progenitor is an
insect much the same in appearance
though 2 or times the size of the or
dinary lady bug. The pioneer of the
tribe, which comes along as soon as
potatoes are we'll out OF the ground,
is in fact beetle with a hard shell
that encloses her wings. This men,
Der of the tribe lays little yellow eggs
in clusters under the potato leaves
and these hatch out into bugs that
soon grow to be just like the parents
except that they are bereft of shell.
As soon as Matched they go at once
to devouring the plants, unless their
career be cut short by administering
Paris green to them. This is done

Another Kick.
The moonshine sold by the illicit
dealers and makers is said to have
peculiar kicks to it, often registered
when least expected. Such an in
stance appears in the county record
er's records just set down in the
books of his office, wherein it appears
that Lonnie Meyers has had recorded
against him tax lien and fine
amounting to Sl,346.13 growing out of
a violation of the n. p. A., which
means the national prohibition amend
ment. The penalty is $1,000 and the
fine the balance. A year or so ago
Meyers was found to be engaged in
the manufacture of alcoholic liquor
en- which charge he was tried at the
federal district court at Pocatello.
The recording of the lien will not, 1t
is expected, cause any perceptible de-
cline in the prevailing prices OF
moonshine in the local marts of the
trade.

rats out OF their corn. Last year
the rats were so bad that II was al
most impossible for the farmers to
store their corn anywhere. that these
pest would not destroy Il. II was
finally decided to transform The corn
into a liquid. Mr.. Reed says in some
PARTS Of the New Mexico county,
corn made thirty gallons TO the acre
