The state game department has put
it up to the people of Bingham coun-
ty to decide how they want it set
tied and it will likely be decided at
that time.
Since so many trout have been
lost in the drouth of this season,
there is greater reason for any COM
munity having good trout streams
to be planting them. The X P.

such. work and have plans for great

in controlling the trout at spawning
time
1t is said that the Blackfoot river
from its mouth to the edge of the
mountains at Presto is a very suit
able stream for yellow catfish, and
it is proposed to bring a stock from
Mud lake.
The state game department has
been asked to send man or two
here to go over these matters next
week, and those who have been
studying the income brought to Ida
no by sportsmen from abroad and
by our own citizens are advising
that it will be good business to en-
gage in all these activities that
promise a fair chance for success.

DIDN'T WANT VERY MUCH.

A few days ago a tourist woman
appeared at the court house and
made application for county aid, say
ing that she and the family were
travelling through in car and they
needed a tank full of gasoline and
set Of new tires. Failing to get
her "requisition" filed at the court
house she went to Mayor Peck. He
told her the city was not buying
materials to keep people travelling,
but that if she or her little daughter
were hungry they could obtain food
by applying to the Red Cross. She
said they were not hungry bnt that
her daughter was just about to
come down with pneumonia and
rather insisted on being supplied
with tires and gas. The mayor said
that if she was going to have pneu-
monfa this was as good a place to
have it as any and there was no
reason he knew Of why they should
take to the road If she were so ILL.,
The girl looked husky.
Next the woman appeared at the
home Of Mrs. ]. H. Early and told
her the mayor had sent her there
to get an order for tank full of
gasoline and a set Of tires for their
car 30 they could 60 on. Mrs. Early
phoned the mayor; then the woman
offered to help Mrs. Early get din
ner, but the offer was declined.
Another case is reported of a
family asking for aid and getting
1t all about the tourist camp, and a
big husky man lay in camp reading
and living on the fat of the camps.
