WOOlGROWERS ELECT
OFFICERS
Sheep Herders and Camp Tend
ers to Assist in Fire Pro-
lection of Forests.

The Woolgrowers association OF
the Payette forest, in session here
last Thursday, made no change in
their officers, re-electing J. E. Van
Deusen, president; Andrew Little,
secretary-treasurer. Those two, with
G. E. Stanfield Of Ontario and s. D.
Little and Colin Mcleod Of Caldwell,
make up the advisory board.
/. N. Nash, state land commissioner
was present to offer several sections
of school lands for leasing. He stated
the minimum price would be 5 cents
per acre, and agreed to allow free Of
charge the use of such sections as
were included in established sheep
trails. After some discussion a re-
solution was passed that the forest
supervisor furnish Mr.. Nash with a
description of each section, its esti-
mated carrying capacity and the name
of the permittee upon whose allotment
it was located, and that Mr.. Nash
give this permittee an opportunity to
lease it before offering it to anyone
else. This plan was agreeable to Mr..
Nash and will be complied with.
The meeting then passed a ,resolu-
ton that all permittees should equip
their sheep camps with serviceable
shovel and axe, and instruct their
herders and camp tenders to proceed
to any fires that might occur on their
range when they could do 80 without
endangering the stock in their care.
The supervisor was instructed to fur
nish the permittees with letters of
instruction to this effect.
The matter of maximum limits was
and it was pretty generally
agreed that the maximum on the
Payette forest should be the same a.
on the Idaho and Boise forests. A
motion carried to leave this matter to
the supervisor and the advisory board.
A resolution objecting to the trans
fer of the forest service to the de-
partment of the interior was passed
unanimously.
Because Of the proposed change Of
boundary between the Idaho and Pay
ette forests, involving a transfer Of
permits, it was agreed to hold q Joint
Meeting of the two advisory boards
sometime in February to consider
;hese matters and the sheep trail
lcross the ,Weiser to the Idaho forest.
The Woolgrowers Association Of
he Idaho forest held their meeting
Immediately 6fter the meeting Of the
'ayette Woolsrowers adjourned,
dopted the same resolutions as given
bove, and elected the following Of
icers: ]. E. Clinton, president; ].
). VanDeusen, vice president; Wal
er c. Little, secretary-treasurer.
'hese three officers, with Mac Hand
Weiser and L. D. Gilmore of Mid
ale, constitute the advisory board.

In the write-up last week of the
new ice plant, The Index got one too
many ciphers on the capacity Of the
ice house, reading $4,000 tons, instead
of $500 tons. Ray Coon got'to figur-
ing when he read the article and
found that $4,000 tons would require
q building covering IN city blocks
and 80 feet high. Anthony Peterson
also figured and went Ray Coon one
better. He estimated building ex-
tending from the Farmers Co-opera-

STARVATION lMpERILS
WILD BUCKS
State and Federal Officials Move
to Provide Feed for Fowls
on Snake River

Unless relief measures are under
taken at once, thousands of ducks or
Snake river will succumb to starva.
ton, according to advices reaching
Caldwell Monday, says the Tribune
Joe Petty, farmer in the Riverside
district, telephoned r. T. HURT, Com
mercial club secretary, that literally
thousands of ducks were endeavoring
to feed on stubble fields in the River
side community.
Mr.. HURT, upon receiving this in
formation, got in communication with
the state game department. Assur-
ance was given Mr.. HURT that man
would be sent to that district Monday
afternoon to conduct an investigation.
Because ducks are migratory birds
and thus come under the federal mi
| gratory bird act, the state game de-
partment informed Mr. HURT that it
was not within the province of the
state to care for them. Several fed
eral men are operating in this terri
tory at present, however, and if the
situation is found to be as acute as
it is reported, the state will cooper
ate with federal agents to see that
relief is provided, Mr.. HURT was in
formed.
Deer Flat reservoir is entirely COW
cred with ice for the first time in
many years. AS result, this feed
ing ground has been closed to ducks
for some time. Swamps where green
feed normally abounds are completely
frozen over and such grass and other
vegetation as remained above the ice
has been eaten clean, according to re-
ports.
No ducks have died yet, so far as is
known, according to reports but all
are obviously in q weakened condition
from the lack Of food. Unless relief
measures are promptly taken, the
loss will be large, it is said.
Hunger has driven fear from the
birds. E. A. Van Deventer Sunday
went to the Riverside community
where he photographed flocks of
ducks on the snow covered fields at
extremely close range. Several pic
lures were taken at distance not to
exceed 15 feet.
The deputy game warden who is
making survey of the affected ter
ritory reports picking up some dead
ducks which are supposed to have
starved to death. He was immediate
~ ordered by the department, upon
finding the dead ducks, to buy large
quantities Of grain and feed all the
1ucks he could find in that section.
The chief deputy, field deputy and
,wo local deputies have been ordered
% the Riverside section from where /
,eports have been coming that thou i
ands OF ducks are huddled together
n one small field. These deputies are l
instructed to make thorough can l
ass of the territory along the Snake
iver down to Pickle Butte bridge. If
is found necessary, large quantities
+ grain will be taken to the ducks !.
eeding ground and distributed.

 AS they spoke, the spaniel gave a groWl which meant, There comes the dog that stole our ducks! This was enough for the pointer and setter and with one accord they set on Stubby. He certainly would have had sorry time of it had not the hunters called off the attacking dogs.

Just how wonderful Larned's rec ord is is shown by the fact that the next longest ranking player in the game is Bea1s Wright and his bril- liant efforts and endurance carried him into the first 10 for just 0 sea- sons, 1899 to 1908.
