"They came in sight early this morning just after we had had breakfast and had broken camp. The four of us 'Bunt, 'Idaho, Estorijo and myself were jogging on to the southward and had just come up out of the dry bed of some water-hole the alkali was white as snow in the crevices when Idaho pointed them out to us, three to the rear, two on one side, one on the other and very far away two ahead.
The rural schools have too often been the last to attract public interest and to receive the attention which their importance deserves. =Rural Schools the Same Everywhere.= The one-room country school of to-day is much the same the whole country over. Such schools are no better in Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota than they are in the Dakotas, Montana, or Idaho.
He stands there in his ill-fitting coat, and his star, and rubs one bony hand over the other. "Dear me!" says a lady tourist from Idaho, rather inadequately. And yet, not so inadequately. What exclamation is there, please, that fits a sum like one hundred and thirty millions of anything?
They were formerly numerous in the rocky regions about Silver Lake, and a few still inhabited the ridges northeast of Abert Lake. In Nevada Mr. Bailey found sheep in the Toyabe range.

When the telegraph line was completed, the Pony Express over this route was withdrawn, and Pony Bob was sent to Idaho, to ride the company's express route of one hundred miles, with one horse, from Queen's River to the Owyhee River.

"Pitcairn's opinion is thought a lot of. The Geologic Survey men listen to Pitcairn. He helped them one year. He's one of those extraordinary old miners who can tell from the look of things, without even panning. When he saw that pyrites on Idaho Bar he stopped dead. 'This looks good to me! he said, and, Jee-rusalem! it was good!"
"Then Idaho has struck a new book," says I, "for the one he had was by a man who writes under the /nom de plume/ of K. M." "He'd better have stuck to it," says Mrs. Sampson, "whatever it was. And to-day he caps the vortex. I get a bunch of flowers from him, and on 'em is pinned a note. Now, Mr. Pratt, you know a lady when you see her; and you know how I stand in Rosa society.
This was to be our last meeting for some time to come; for Rayburn was to start the next day for Idaho to look after some mining matters, and Young suddenly had decided that he would accompany him. In truth, Young was rather at a loss to know what to do with himself; for his plan for buying the Old Colony Railroad, in order to be in a position to discharge its superintendent, had been abandoned.
IDAHO: The imperative duties of Idaho are as follows: Stop all hunting of mountain sheep, mountain goat and elk. Give the sage grouse and sharp-tail ten-year close seasons, at once, to forestall their extermination. Stop the killing of doves as "game." Stop the killing of female deer, and of bucks with horns less than three inches long. Enact the model law to protect non-game birds.
Such sights may be witnessed still in portions of Montana and British Columbia, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado, where bald, rolling mountains, showing little or no rock, are frequented by the sheep, which graze over the uplands, descending at midday to the valleys to drink, and then slowly working their way up the hills again to their illimitable pastures.
