Idaho Wants Game Preserve.

Boise, Idaho. —Idaho is negotiating with, the federal officials for a national game reserve of 50,000 acres of land included within the Pocatello national forest. The negotiations have been opened with the Idaho delegation at Washington, Senators Borah and Brady, and Representatives French and Smith. The aim is to stock the reserve with elk from Jackson hole, and to have a law protecting them. Sportsmen say that Idaho must take immediate steps to set aside large reserves like that proposed for the Pocatello forest in order that rare game in this state can be kept from becoming extinct.
