There was quite an exciting
and malodorous event happened
in the camp, in the mountains,
of our local nimrods the other
morning. Dick Bauerbach was
the earliest riser in camp, and
as is customary with the first
out of bed, lighted q fire and
made other preparations for get
ting breakfast. He then called
to Frank Flickinger to get up.
And he got up. Got up in dou-
bic quick time, at that. When
he threw the bed clothes aside,
he discovered that he had very
handsome, but rather loudly per-
fumed skunk for a bed fellow.
Frank brought yell and made
a spring to rid himself of his
unwelcome companion. But he
was not quick enough. Mr..
Skunk was evidently offended
at his anxiety and haste in quit
ting his ccmpanionship, opened
his perfumery case, and sprayed
Frank and the bed clothes with
a bounteous supply. When our
informant left camp, Frank was
still alive, and strong hopes
were entertained of his ultimate
recovery-from the perfumery.

The enumeration of sheep was
not made by the census until
1910, when the number reported
was 1881, 900. In 1850 the
number given was 21,733,000,
and only 22,471, 275 in 1860 Be
tween 1860 and 1870 a very rapid
advance was made. from about
22,000,000 to possibly 100000,
followed by a decline in later
years Of the decade to31, 900, 900.
Annual estimates we're made by
the department Of agriculture,
not including the mountain areas
till nearly the close OF the de-
Cade, when statistical service
was orgonized in the great ranch
districts. The figures were,
therefore, not complete in those
years. After this disturbed and
fuCtuating record the estimate
became more reliable and the
development more uniform. The
total number of sheep in the
United States is Al, 1888, O64; the
total valuation 1922, 665. 913. The
Rocky mountain states contain
over 40 per cent of the total
number of sheep in the country
and over 40 per cent of the total
value. Albuquerque Citizen.

One of our subscribers wishes to
know the difference between a

a man is getting 81 a day for

that makes a white collar and
cuffs uncomfortable, he is get
ting wages. If he sits at desk
and gets six dollars a week, has
soft hands, wears white cuffs,
collar and tie, he gets a salary.
