Big Rabbit Drive.
Rigby. Ida , Feb 23. The rabbit
drive at this place on the above date
proved to be one of the grandest sue
cesses in rabbit driving that has ever
been known in the annals of rabbit his
tory.
The writer was one of the number that
made up the posse. Gunners were there
from Rigby, Lewisville, Grant, Idaho
Falls and Willow creek. Every repre
sentative did fully his share in the fam
ous rabbit drive. It was estimated that
10,000 rabbits fell victims to the gun and
club. Many ladies were counted among
the hunters and they did great execu
tion with their shot guns. Great credit
is due them for their excellent work as
nimrods.
The line of march was as follows:
Men, women and children formed the
advance lines, vehicles formed the sec
ond line and the gunners brought up the
rear and picked off all the escaping rab
bits that broke through the two advance
lines. At the final goal screen wire was
placed in wing fashion leading up to a
pen. into which the rabbits were cor
raled and mercilessly slaughtered. All
kinds of gladiators stepped into the
arena and the slaughter was great.
Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves
and were well satisfied with their day s
work.
We must not forget to mention the
single shot that capped the climax.
Three rabbits were running in line from
the rear gunners, when Mr. Birch of St.
Anthony, wheeled around and spied the
escaping trio, took deliberate aim and
brought all three down.
There will be another drive two weeks
from this date.

Early Spring Flowers.
Some of the earliest of our wild flow
ers are to be found near the streams
and ponds. There, in the water, we
may see the reflection of the richly col
ored skunk-csbbage, and mirrowed be
low it the silver and gold ot the pussy
willow and alder tassels If we wish to
see a variety of spring blossoms in one
short walk, let us go to some wooded,
sunny, southern slope, where the snow
first leaves the ground, and where the
north wind seldom comes. Here we
shall find the anemone, or wind-flower,
with its single hell-like blossom hanging
modestly among its circling leaves, at
the summit of its wiry stem; and we
must not take it for its cousin, the rue
anemone, which has a cluster of white
stars at the top. Here, too, we are apt
to find that most delicate flower, the
spring beauty, with smooth, twisted
stem and hanging buds, which open one
at a time to become white, five-petaled
blossoms with conspicuous pink veiu
ings. The wild geranium, the star
flower and the bunch berry will be here
too, but we must come a little later to
see them in bloom. Where the rocks
crop here and there out of the soil we
may look for the early saxifrage, with
its cluster of small white blossoms and
hairy stem, which rises from a rosette
of leaves at its foot. The roots force
their way down close to the rocks, or
into the crevices of it, and doubtless do
their part toward the disintregation of

Death of Mart Patrie.
The sad news reached ns this mo riling
of the death of Hon. Mart Patrie, who
died at his home in Market Lake this
morning at 3 o'clock of dropsy. Mr.
Patrie was well known all over the coun
ty and state, having served one term as
secretary of state. He was a prominent
and energetic republican leader, be
ing chairman of the republican county
committee during the last election. The
funeral services will lie held at Market
Lake on Sunday at 1 o'clock.

Will Extend to Park.
Just as soon as the weather permits
an engineering party from Short Lino
headquarters will start from St. An
thony and from that point will work
northeast towards the Yellowstone Na
tional park, seeking out a route for an
extension. Whether this means the
extension, cannot be said, but it is inter
esting to know that the matter is at
least going to be made the subject of
investigation. For several years, ever
since the St. Anthony road was first
mentioned, in fact, it has been said
that the line would eventually be
pushed on to the park, not only on ac
count of the tremendous tourist traf
fic it would capture for the road and its
east and west connections, tint, owing
to the fact that the line would traverse
one of the garden spots of the world,
the region washed by the waters of the
upper Snake, the sportsman's paradise,
the fisherman's best trout waters and
the most healthful spot for camping in
the West.
The progress of the Oregon Short
Line's surveys in this direction will be
followed with interest by the general
public. Salt Lake Tribune.
This is Not so Had.
W. E. Borah, of counsel for the state
in the famous Utah sheep case, in which
Utah sheepmen sought an injunction
from the United States court to prevent
the state officials of Idaho from keeping
their flocks out of this state in accord
ance with the terms of the governor's
quarantine proclamation, has received
a copy of the opinion recently handed
down by the circuit court of appeals in
San Francisco reversing the court be
low.
The court of appeals, it is found, did
not find the Idaho law unconstitutional,
but that the lower court should have
granted the relief sought upon the
showing that the sheep were not so
effected with scab ns to warrant then
detention.
The law laid down by the opinion is
that the sheep owner from a neighbor
ing state, against which quarantine
may be in force, has the right to come
in upon showing that the statement of
facts upon which the quarantine pro
clamation was predicted was incorrect
It does not invalidate the law, but laj-H
down the rule that the courts may in
quire into the correctness of the gover
nor's information, and admit foreign
sheep if it be found that the governor
hail not proper basis for his proclamation.
The governor under the decision, may
issue the usual proclamation if he he
satisfied that any district of a neighbor
state is infected with scab. Then,
if a sheep owner from that section shall
seek to bring sheep in, ho may do so
provided he prove that the district is
not infected; but if the governor's infor
mation he found to be correct, the sheep
cannot cross the line.—Pocatello Tri
bune.
