Horticultural Society Meeting.
The Mason County Horticultural
Society met in regular session Oct. 2o
'95. Justice Dunbar's pestiferous court
occupied the court room and somewhat
distracted the proceedings. However
the society met III the afternoon in the
Clerks office and had quite an interest
ing meeting, although the attendance
was not large.
First a general discussion was had
on fruit pests which elected much
pra Ctical information to the mem ers
present. But the subject of co-opera-
ton in establishing and maintaining
marx cts for the products of the farm
was still more attractive aud showed
those present alive to the importa nee
of the matter. The question of estab-
fishing Il market house was also talk
ed about, but the plan of opening
produce store and having q common
salesman to conduct the business was
concurred IN as the better move. A
committee was appointed to devise the
most possible plan for carrying out
the project to report at a special meet
ing on Satu day Oct. 80, at which meet
ing the report and subject will be more
fully discussed.
The County Fair project and several
other matters were deferred until a
subsequent meeting.

We have just learned of a new use
to which beer kegs may be put.
Down in the vicinity of Hoquiam they
are using them for bear traps, and
they are said TO have worked so sue
cessfully that one man caught five
bears within week. The plan is to
take beer keg, and knock in one end
of 1t; drive a number of spikes into
the sides of the lIeg, slanting a little
toward the closed end; place some
honey or other delicaCy of which bears
are fond in the keg, and take the trap
to some location frequented by bears,
and the chances are old Bruin will
walk right into it; and if he does he is
caught, for the spikes will prevent his
backing out.--Vidette
