ground. 1t is in the northern section
of the city, extending to the banks
above the Snake river. The contour
affords ideal golfing areas. 1t is the
view that the improvement company
will not be adverse to leasing the tract
for this purpose. as 1t embraces
ground now in part devoted to alfalfa
growing.
Links located here could be reached
after walk of few hundred feet
from the street car line and the west
line of the tract is not more than a
mile from the center of Lewiston's
business district and a half mile from
Clarkstons center.

Lint, a Weiser boy, 20, and his COM

They left Weiser recently and ex-
pect to make the trip safely in a new
boat built especially for the occasion.
The winter months will be spent in
trapping along the stream. Lewiston
should be reached early in the spring
when they hope to have rich haul
of pelts.
The distance Of this trip Is 222
miles. 1t will carry these two adven-
turers through one of the deepest and
mightiest gorges to be found In the
west. Lint is an experienced boat
man. He has been in the service of
the geological survey and has navi-
gated some of the greatest rivers OF
the country.
AT some points in the Snake river
canyon, the gorge is 1000 feet deep.
Few people have ever made the trip.

Harry Walrath deputy state game
warden for Clearwater county, Idaho,
holds the view that coyotes In the
mountain districts have developed the
instinct for pack hunting. Deer are
facing a new menace. Recently he
brought to Lewiston the mutilated
carcass of deer that had fallen a
victim to coyotes on Whisky creek,
about nine miles from Orofino. Five
coyotes were devouring the carcass
when discovered. The snow was IS
iches deep.
Coyotes usually hunt their prey
singly or in pairs and have never
been considered menace to grown
deer, the latter even being able to
protect the fawns.
Mr.. Walrath states that during the
winter of 1921-1922, when snow was
unusually deep in the Clearwater
mountains, many deer persisted and
there were evidences that large
numbers were victims Of coyotes,
enabled by the depth of the snow, to
successfully attack in packs They
developed ferocity similar to that
