[urid Tale Told by Dixie
Boy in Tacoma
STORY O|scRED|TED HERE
NOTHING HAS BEEN HEARD OF
DIXIE BOY WHO CLAIMS THAT
HE WAS CARRIED AWAY
BY HOBOES.

Was Theodore Snyder, young son Of
James Snyder, of Dixie, kidnapped by
hoboes ten days ago, and carried by
them to Tacoma?
Or did the boy run away?
Or is the story told the Tacoma po-
lice but the result of the activities OF
a vivid imagination?
These are questions which will prob
ably be answered when James Snyder,
who lives seven miles from the town Of
Dixie, receives the news that a boy
purporting to be his son, is held at the
Tacoma police station, awaiting ad-
vices from this county.
According to dispatch from Taco
ma today, the boy walked into the
police station last night and told the
officers that he had been kidnapped by
hoboes, and that they had carried him
to Tacoma where they had abandoned
MIN. Inc BOY told lurtd tale OF ad-
venture.
The police Immediately communicate
ed with Dixie in an effort to verify the
youngsters story.
Mr.. Snyder will not probably re-
ceive the message from the Tacoma
police before tonight or tomorrow.
A telephone message from Dixie to-
day was to the effect that the citizens
of that place had heard nothing of
missing boy.
If the boy was kidnapped, as was
claimed, it is regarded as significant

FRANK HUNT BURNED.
Seven Year Old Boy Plays With Cal.
cium Carbide.


Frank Hunt, the little 7-year- old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hunt, 365
Chase avenue was badly burned about
the eyes and face by an explosion of
calcium carbide, with which he was
playing, and his companion, Walter
Russell, was slightly burned.
Young Hunt and the Russell boy
obtained some carbide, which is used
for Illuminating purposes in lamps on
autos and bicycles. Having heard it
would make gas that would light when
put in water they took it to tub
full of water and when it began to
fume they applied the match. Frank
Hunt was seriously burned about the
face and for awhile it was thought he
might lose the sight of one eye His
condition today, however, was much
better and he will get along nicely from
all indications. Dr. E. E. Shaw was
called to dress the injuries. Young
Russell was burned slightly about the
hand.

MAKING MONEY
OUT Of RABBITS
BUNNY A GOOD ASSET TO PEOPLE
OF BRITISH
COLONY.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-A few
years ago one might read of the scourge
of rabbits in the western states-an m
creasing horde of Dummies that raw
aged the country, ate all the green
things, and made life miserable for the
settler. The department of agriculture
not so many years ago issue bulletin,
with some scientific hints as to RABBIT
exte, 1nination, and told graphically Of
tie rabbit hunts, of round-ups, wherein
the citizens of perhaps several couE-
ties got together. built a big trap, and
then chased Br'er Rabbit in a fast en-
closing circle until he ran into the
corral where he was slaughtered by
the thousands with clubs. Br'er Rabbit
was a destroyer and liability-noc an
asset
But in these progressive days, Tas-
mania, one of the British colonies, has
found a way to make Bunny a good
cash asset He is trapped, split open,
frozen. and shipped all the way TO
England, where his fur is not unac-
ceptable. In 1906, s2,3091,563 in frozen
rabbits were exported to England, CO.
gether with s2,323,510 in rabbit skins.
Consul Henry D. Baker, speaking or
the Tasmanian rabbit industry, de-
clares that the trapping gives employ
ment to a very large number of mon,
and that complete freezing plants are
in operation at Hobart and Launceston,
for nreparing Bunny for export.

GOOD GRASS ON
WENAHA RESERVE
j. M. SCHMITZ TALKS OF GRAZ
ING CONDITIONS IN NATION
AL FOREST.

| "Cattle range on the Wenaha reserve
was never so good as this year." said
J. M. Schmitz. ranger in charge, who
| has just returned from a trip Of in
spection through the forest. "On the
lower ranges the cattle are doing nice
| ly and the range is said to be better
than for years The lower sheep
range is also good, as good as could
be expected. But the upper range,
where the snow is just leaving, is dry
and will furnish but poor picking. How
ever, taken the forest over. there will
be plenty of grass, although there will
probably be a good many disputes over
the range. as those who have the lower
ranges where grass is good naturally
do not want to exchange or give up
part of it. But this will be a necessity,
in fact my recent trip was for the pur-
pose of settling several disputes OF
the kind.
There are about 10000 full grown
sheep on the range and more than 9O,-
900 lambs in addition, making in all
about 100000 sheep pasturing on the
reserve. The cattle are in much small
ler numbers, only about $4,000 being on
the forest altogether.
City Water All Right.
did you notice conditions above the
intake of the city waterworks on
Mill creek?" was asked Mr.. Schmitz
"Why, yes, paid parsicu'af atten-
ton to that after having heard the
matter discussed lately. AS l found
things, and 1 observed pretty closely
everything is in good condition. There
are no dead cattle in the creek that l
could see and the campers are quite
careful in the way they use the stream.
I think there is no cause at all for
alarm over the conditions there. DO
think. however, that the city should
keep a man patrolling the creek ana
see that conditions are good at all
times. Just at present there seems 10
be nothing needed beyond the notices
posted as these are being observed
closely by campers and others VINO
visit the creek above the intake. Con-
ditions are good, I should say
