A FEW CANNIBAL BIRDS.
Some FeAthsred Creatures That Prey
on Their FelIows-Duck Hawks
Are Worst Offenders.

The most unpleasant items on the
bill OF fare Of the bird kingdom are
birds themselves. writes a naturalist.
The most systematic cannibal among
birds is the p%eregrine falcon, or duck
hawk, and where birds are abundant
this fastidious gourmand merely eats
the flesh OF the head and neck and
eyes OF each victim. leaving the re-
mainder OF the body untouched. Oc-
casionally. as among other animals.
a bird OF strictly vegetarian habits will
attack another bird. even one OF its own
kind. and XIII and eat 1t in the most
matter OF fact way.
Perhaps every order oS the higher
warm blooded animals may be in
cluded in the list. from the sloth,
which mutely resigns itself to the ter
rible grip Of a harry eagle. 20 the
human child. powerless before the at
tack OF some bird OF prey frenzied
with hunger. In certain districts
eagles and hawks have been shot
smelling strongly OF skunk. but
whether that fearless animal really
figured. except accidentally. in their
diet. is TO be doubted. II any group OF
mammals is to be entirely excepted It
is only that OF the whales. The small
er gnawers Of wood. the rodents. suf-
fer most heavily. and untold thou
sands are devoured by hawks and
owls, while cranes. shrikes and ducks
make way with their share. and even
flamingoes will chase and deyour a
mouse with ayidlty.

Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements 10 setuers and
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprsing people, Its var
led resources. and its brilliant prospects not inapty commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Ihlrty'hve
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in it's infancy, the territory now embraced IN It's connhes was
known only to Indians and an occasional party OF prospectors
travelling to or from Montana. To them a wilderness, to the max
.ers of maps it was "unexplored." In 1862 pacers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border and
in 1869 a few venturesome men founo rich ground on Loon creek
In 1870 other placers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
until quartz claimed attention, five years later, the region now
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread Notwithstanding capital
lists and increasing its populaton-until the following year, by
Legislative enactment, Custer county was created, and has 5hrived
since that time, until today it has q population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns
Chanis-County seat, farming, Stock-raiSlng, fruit and mining
Mackay-Mining and farming.
misunderstanding and stockraising
Bayhorse-Mining.
Cayton--Mining, farming and stock.rasng.
Bonanza-Mining
CuSter-Mining.
Stanloy-Placer and quartz mining, and grazing land.
Custer county also has numerous large valleys where farming
and stock-raising is pursued to a great extent, viz Big Lost Riv-
er valley; Thousand Spring; Round; Pahsamaroi; East Fork; An
teope and Stanley.
Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard It's as large as the State of Connecticut, and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
no, It's reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east.
and this road will probably be extended to Challs next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have "a line from Black
foot TO Challis. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.
