cember, and it looks as though he

Mr.. Bolon is mounting a white
owl, which is beauty. The work is
for n party in Payette. White owls
are common to the more northern
regions in British Columbia, but are
seldom seen south of the line. This
winter they have come down into
Washington, for the first time in
years, which indicates excessive cold
north. One is reported as having
been seen below Weser on the Snake.
Ona Littrel has leased the restau-
rant and bakery from G. w. Thomp-
son and will conduct the same and
keep its reputation where it will be n
mecca for hungry men. By her adj

seen that she will set out the best of
meals at low rates and supply those
desiring with first class bread, pies,
cakes, etc. II
A party of Washington hunters,
who killed twelve deer in the Priest
lake country, were arrested at Rath-
drum, Idaho, on the charge of vio-
lating the game laws, in proposing
to take the venison out of the state
The parties lived just over the Idaho
line and had probably killed the deer
to eat. There have been whole car
loads of elk captured and shipped
from Blackfoot and Pocatelo east
and nothing has ever been said or
done about it.
Mrs. Murphy is doing as well as
possible under the serious injuries
lately sustained by her. The con-
tinement, so opposite to her usual
habits, is very trying on her, but it
is certain that if she RECEIVERS at all
she will have to stay with the he'd
for a long time perhaps several
months A gristly substance may
form in the place of the missing
bone hut she can never bear her
weight on the limb and will be
cripple for her remaining years.
