New Game Laws.
I lie general provisions of the new
fish and game law, which was sign
ed by the governor last Monday are
about the same as the old law. The
law, however, provides that you
can fish with a hook and line at
tached to a pole or held in the
hand, at any time of the year."
Persons who wish to fish or hunt
must procure a license, the same as
heretofore, and while it isnowlaw
ful to fish with a hook and line, it
will probably be a month before
the deputy game wardens and jus
tices of the peace are supplied with
licenses. If you wish to go fish
ing in the meantime, notify the jus
tice in your precinct, or the deputy
warden of your intention and make
application for a license to be is
sued to you as soon as they are re
ceived. For the benefit of those
who love to fish we give the section
of the law in full on that point,
which is as follows:
Sec. 4. It shall be unlawful for
any person or persons to catch or
kill any species of fish carp, salmon,
sturgeon, sucker, white fish, Bear
Lake trout, or charr in any of the
streams, rivers, lakes, reservoirs or
waters, with any seine, net or spear,
weir, fence, basket trap, gill net,
or any other contrivance : Provid
ed, however, that it shall be lawful
to catch trout, grayling, bass and
sun fish with the hook and line at
tached to the pole or held in the
hand at any time of the year. And
it shall be unlawful for any person
or persons to sell or offer for sale
any species of fish protected by this
act. at any time of the year.
It shall be unlawful for any per
son to catch more than twenty
pounds of trout, bass, catfish, gray
ling or sunfish in any one day. or
to have in their possession more
than thirty pounds at any time.
It shall be unlawful to kill or de
stroy or have in possession for any
purpose at any time of the year, any
trout or black bass, less than four
inches in length, and the possession
of any such shall be a misdemeanor.
It is unlawful for any person or
persons to stretch a line or lines
across any of the waters of this state
and attach thereto hooks commonly
known as''snag hooks." The in
tention hereby being to prohibit
what is known as "snag hook fish
ing."

Our Washington Letter.
i * nder a cloudless skv and in the
Presence °f probably the greatest
! ^owd^that ever assembled in the
historic city of Washington, Theo
dore Roosevelt was last week inau
gurated President of the United
States for the next four years.
I here were a great many features
of the inauguration that are worthy
of consideration. Despite the hos
tility heretofore shown President
Roosevelt, more southern States
joined in the inauguration than
that of any other republican Presi
dent since the^civil war. Georgia
and Louisiana vied with Maine and
Pennsylvania in showing their ap
preciation of our President. Prob
ably more people came from Idaho
to witness the inauguration than
from any other far western State.
Gen. Roberts and Hunter had im
portant stations assigned to them
on the staff of General Chaffee.
Idaho's High School representa
tives, Morris of Lewiston, Glantz
man of Idaho Falls, Gooding,
Lemp and Dunton of Boise, acquit
ted themselves with credit during
their stay. They had a good place
assigned to them in the line of
march. When they passed the re
viewing stand, the President notic
ed the Idaho banner, cheered and
exclaimed: "Good for Idaho.
Think how far those boys have
come. "
On all matters pertaining to the
welfare of Idaho, Senator Heyburn
and Representative French have
worked in absolute harmony, and
on account of this co-operation,
Idaho has fared fully as well as any
of her sister States. During the
session just closed there has been
an immense amount of department
work accomplished for different in
terests in Idaho. A number of pen
sion bills have been passed, and
several rural free delivery routes
have been established, while a
number of applications are now
pending before the department.
The record made by Senator Hey
burn during the last Congress has
probably not been excelled by any
new Senator in recent years. His
long experience in the practice of
the law, his wide acquaintance
with public men, and his knowl
edge of public questions, together
with his superior attainments as a
debater has placed him in the front
rank of the new Senators. As
Chairman of the Committee on
Manufactures, he has had charge of
this measure in such a way that it
is believed that it will be enacted
during the next session, although
this subject has been before Con
gress for fifteen years. Soon after
he entered his duties he took a defi
nite position on the Forest Reserve
question and succeeded in having
enacted important legislation on
the subject of lieu land scrip which
will prevent the laying of forest
reserve scrip on timber lands and
which will save some two and a
half million acres of timber laud
for actual settlers. He took a very
active interest in the modification
of the boundaries of certain forest
reserves in Idaho, and after careful
investigation by the Department,
large bodies of agricultural land
were restored to the public domain
in Idaho, aggregating in all over
six million acres.
Over a year ago he introduced a
resolution authorizing the President
to consider the advisability of the
acquisition of Santo Domingo, on
the theory that if we did not do so
some foreign country' in the enforce
ment of its demands would create
trouble in that island. The recent
action of the President indicates
that the Senator's position on this
question was correct.
F)arly in the Congress Senator
Heyburn introduced and secured
the passage in the Senate of a bill
appropriating $25,000 for the estab
lishment of a fish hatchery in Idaho
but the bill was not reached for
consideration in the House; in fact
none of the bills for the establish
ment of fish hatcheries passed the
House, but Congressman French
succeeded in securing a favorable
repoit from the Committee on Fish
and Fisheries, and the enactment
of a law for a fish hactherv in Ida
ho seems assured early in the nexi
Congress.
Heyburn and French endeavored
to secure legislatiop authorizing
leave of absence to homesteaders
on irrigation projects until water
is turned in. but favorable action
was not taken, the Department
having made an adverse report on
the bill.
Thev also secured the enactment
of a bill authorizing the construe
t ion of a bridge across the Coeur
d'Alene and Pend d' Oreille Rivers
in North Idaho.
On the River and Harbor Bill.
Mr. French was very successful.
He secured an appropriation of
$15, (XK) to supplement $12.000
already on hand for the improve
ment of Snake River between Lew
iston and Riparia. This amount
was increased by $10,000 in the
Senate by Senator Heyburn. They
were also instrumental in securing
an appropriation of $300,000 for
the opening of the Columbia River
at Celilo Falls. Clearwater River
will also be surveyed to determine
its possibility for barge navigation.
Altogether these rivers never fared
so well before in the hands of any
Congress. This is a very import
ant matter to the people of Idaho,
s a better improvement of these
rivers will mean a saving of mil
lions of dollars in freight annually.
Mr. French secured the passage
of a bill turning into the reclama
tion fund moneys received from the
sale of material used on temporary
works in connection with irrigation
projects. This money was formerly
turned into the Treasury of the
United States and consequently lost
to irrigation. This bill put several
thousands of dollars annually into
the reclamation fund.
A bill to appropriate money for
a public building at Moscow was
approved by the Committee on
Public Buildings a*'d Grounds, and
was by Mr. French placed in the
Omnibus Bill. This bill failed to
pass, but the sentiment in the
House is very strong in its favor,
and it is very likely that it will
pass at the next session. The mat
ter is in good condition and Mos
cow will get a public building as
soon as any other city in the coun
try. In the House Committee on
Public Lands, bills for the repeal
of the commutation clause of the
Homestead Law and the Timber
end Stone Act were indefiitelv post
poned. This was accomplished
chiefly by Mondell of Wyoming
and French of Idaho.
Congressman French's honesty
and integrity were put to the test
last week on the vote for the con
structive mileage grab. His mile
age would amount to the magnifi
cent sum of $1,100. and a vote was
being taken to give the members
this extra mileage which they
clearly were not entitled to, but
which they could appropriate to
themsevles if they so desired. A
majority of the far western mem
bers voted yes, but French voted
no, and thus threw aside $1,100.
Idaho may well be proud of the
record made bv Burton L. French
in the Congress just closed. Al
though the youngest member in the [
House and from a State small in !
population, he has taken a high
place in the estimation of his col-,
leagues, and is recognized by old
war horses like Cannon, Grosvenor,
Payne and Dalzell as a decidedly
coming man, and one who must be
reckoned with in the next Con
gress. While Mr. French has not
flooded the House with oratory, he
has worked haid before Commit
tees, where the real work is done,
and during the few times he lias
addressed the House, he has been
given respectful attention. It is (
fall prepared to do better work for
his State, and incidentally add
laurels to his already enviable rep
l,tation - _____the
A Kick from the High Quality Store
On the morning of March 4th.
mv stock of merchandise was de
stroyed by fire. I carried insurance
in the Royal of Liverpool, Queen
of New York, and the Connecticut
of Hartford, Conn. Mr. J. C.
Rooklyge is the adjuster for the
Royal and Queen companies; Mr.
VV. S. Ferris is the adjuster for the
Connecticut: Moore and Fuller are
the home agents for the Royal ;
Tom Patton is agent for the Queen
and M. M Hammond is the agent
for the Connecticut. I wish to
thank all of these gentlemen for
the prompt and liberal way in
which they settled my losses; in
forty-eight hours after the fire my
loss was adjusted and the proofs
were in the mail addressed to the
head offices. I can safely recom
mend any of the above companies,
and can guarantee that any one
who places insurance with them
will fie taken good care of.
Yours truly,

A Trip to Island Park.
A party consisting of W. W.
Green and wife, Miss Edna Jenkins,
Coachman Ed. Sheffield and wife, i
Miss Anna Carlton, Mrs, Chas, i
I
;
I
Ripley, Messrs. Roy Jenkins, Jas.
Harriman, Nephi Secrist, left St.
Anthony about the 23rd ulto, for
F)rnest Uden's famous tourist resort
at the upper end of Island Park to
be present at a "western hop" given
in their honor. The start was made
at 9 o'clock in the morning from
St. Anthony, driving through to
Porter's "road house" the first day
where the evening was spent mid
wild yells and whoops that would
put to shame the lifeless skeleton
of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces.
At this juncture of the proceeâings
Walt Green, the humbug mixolo
gist of the limber joint, announced
himself and donned the garb of a
New York "dude," proclaiming
himself financier of the party and
Nephi Secrist, the well known and
renowned sole owner and manager
of Street. Faker & Skinnum, as
his "valet." From the general ap
proval with which the ladies of the
party sanction this hot air act, it
would seem that Waltjwas really the
possessor of all the "do" in the gang.
Upon further investigation, how
ever, it was discovered to the sor
row and disappointment of the
ladies, that Dudie Walter was
broke worse than a watch-crystal
that had been sat upon by a 300
pound female, whereupon it was
necessary for his valet, owner and
manager of the aforesaid firm, to
come to his master's rescue and re
lieve himself of the coveted pieces
of gold taken from the Weary Wil
lies while dozing in the balmy sun
shine in the alleys of the Favored
City, (St. Anthony). However this
was not known to the ladies, as
Nephi has always posed as a moral
ist and they were much pleased to
know that the "dough," was at
all times forthcoming, no matter
how heavy the expenses; but poor
Walter not being used to mixing
hydrogin with Holland gin was
put away to take a long and much
needed sleep, and was soon forgot
ten, while Nephi hopped in and
took his place as "dude." Next
Coachman Sheffield got

girls were ordered to put on life

that they we;e prepared tor acci

that water was the onlv beverage,
and that it had a peculiar effect on
Walt and Hephi as they were pei

nothing seemed to observe the gid
dy actions of the old maids and
married women but the moon, as
by this time the big chiefs had
taken aboard sufficient quantity of
hydrogin to put them past the
point of observation.
The dejected and 'forlorn crowd
came back to Osborn's ;hat night
and there wasn't more than a dozen
words spoken during the evening.
Many went to sleep sitting up in
chairs. Walt Green went out to
observe the beautiful moonlight
and went to sleep looking at the
sky.
The boys soon missed him and
search was at once instituted and
Walt was found in that posing atti
tude. ' It was found that he could
not be awakened and he was car
ried into the kitchen and set up be
hind the door where he stood until
morning and when he awoke he fell
over.
Before leaving Osborn's for home,
Ed, the coachman, seized his old
8-guage shot gun and started down
to the river to kill some ducks and
geese, which were flying around in
large flocks, but he bumped up
against a game warden, who in
stead of being here in town punish
ing Bill Burland's Overland Rye,
was on duty. Our coachman easily
explained that he was only hunt
ing a skunk for the fur to make his
wife a collar, but we noticed Ed
turned his "skees" for the cabin
and soon slid in.
The start for home was made
without incident except that our
dude had a severe headache, and,
in fact, several of the less note
worthy gentlemen were troubled
with headaches, enlargement of the
bump on their shoulders, which
some of them termed "head" and
general debility.
St. Anthony was safely reached
