Not True.

Prineville News.
''Diphtheria is raging at Prineville,
seven OF one family dying last week
from the effects of the malady," says
the Tsmes-Mountdineer Not one word
of the paragraph is true. Diphtheria is
not now, and never has been, raging in
Prineville. There is not a case of diph-
liberia in Crook county today, and but
two families in the county have been
afflicted with the disease this summer.
One of the families SO afflicted lost four
children; all the children in the other
afflicted family are alive and we'll. One
family of diphtheria sufferers lives forty
miles from Prineville, and the other, the
one that lost the children, lives three
miles from Prineville. Both papers
here have related the facts regarding the
diphtheria. They have kept nothing
back but have faithfully recorded all
there was to be recorded concerning the
malady and it's fatality.

In the spring the adult seals come

of the young pups of the previous sum-

Mostly roars of anger, for every male

his strength, and often with his life, the

his particular seraglio. There he gathers
his harem. one by one, and here, in a

killed and as the surviving males are
polygamists to an astonishing extent,
and as more competent experts than
Goff declare that seals are rapidly IN
creasing, this opinion and the reason
given for reducing the harvest must be
taken with a good deal OF salt.
Most OF the seals are killed on the
Pribvloff islands, but they winter fur
