"A peculiar fact about wildcats is that, thick as they are on the west side of the Cascade mountains all the way to the summit of the range, not one is to be found on the other side. On the contrary, lynxes are found on the east side, but they never cross the divide No one knows the reason. and the only way can account for it is the difference in moisture.
 'Henry Rief state game warden. was with me last summer when I had a pecu liar experience with my horse at Car mack Falls above Snoqualmie Falls. We missed the animal, after l had dismount- ed. and were surprised to discover it swimming around in the pool at the bot tom of the falls, 60 feet below us. When we helped the horse out we found it was not injured in the least It had waded into the stream, been swept off it's feet, and carried over the falls without get ting hurt.
 .'That same summer l lost the horse in inst as peculiar a manner on the Chew ava river. in the Lake Chelan country. While grazing it fell into a shaft 30 feet deep that had been sunk years ago by a prospector. The animal was dead when found, having starved in the bottom of the shaft. The dogs did not find the hole until ten days after the horse dis appeared.

The Boomers Win the Game,

The mighty" has fallen. They
came, they saw, they conquered,
and the Canyon City baseball
team is covered with a defeat of
battle and the cause of it all was
the Boomer Girls baseball aggre-
cation which is making a tour of
the west. The team arrived here
for a game last Monday afternoon
and when the umpire called for
the game to begin a large crowd
had gathered to witness the
gBme. There were some men
among the bunch but the Can
yon City aggregation had to &C
knowledge that the girls had
some swift numbers in the bunch
when it came to playing the ma
tional game. When the game
was over the score card reported
8 scores for the boomers and
only a measlp three for the home
team. The girls used a male bat
terry and the Canyon boys could
not connect with the benders
served to them.

Want A Military Company.

Among the young men of this
city there is considerable talk
about the organization of mill
tary company. 1t is probable
that an application for the organ
ization will be sent for soon and
active steps taken for the perma-
nent organization. There are
quite a number in the city who
have had active experience in
military matters and are capable
of instructing in all the maneu-
vers as well as the manuel of
arms.

two o'clock fOOtsOre and weary,
hunting for a restaurant and a
cold drink stand. Upon their
arrival in the terminal city they
found quite a crowd waiting to
welcome them. Hunt wouldn t
stand for the daily papers to take
his picture preferring the reg
ions of the cold drinks and the
edibles to the publicity of the
street and Hunt "ducked' for
cover. There are lots of things
the News man would like to tell
about Hunt, but he mustn t for
he promised you know, but there
is one thing that surprised both
himself and Hunt. Going up on
the trip Hunt found three or
four tarantulaS. On arriving at
the city limits of Amarillo Hunt
stopped, called the representa-
tive of the News and in a stage
whisper which would have made
Henry Irving a fortune many
years before he became promi-
nentlv known, said: Say, you
know, | don't understand why it
is that we see these bugs and
things going INTO Amarillo. -
The News man don t know what
Mr.. Hunts previous experiences
in Amarillo have been but they
appear to be of a suspicious ma
ture.
Before Mr.. Hunt could receive
pay for his walking stunt he was
required to make affidavit about
it and we copy the statement in
full. This statement is zorro
borated by one of the News rep
resentatives, whereupon Hunt
got the money and made a dive
for the nearest drug store to lay
in a supply of arnica, liniments,
cold cream and such stuff. sutfi-
cient for a small drug store. In
fact everybody thought he was
going into the drug business.
Hunt is a good walker. Awful
good but he has plenty of money
for his present needs and there
fore anyone who desires the SER
vices of a walker needn't apply
to Hunt. He isn't open for job.

POSTMASTER As fooTsMAN.
Official Pulls Of Walking Stunt Between This
City and Amarillo Last Monday.

If Edward PaysOn Weston is
anywhere in this section of the
country we wish he would please
rise. We want to pull off all the
medals which he has won as a
long distance and fast walker.
He is not entitled to any con
sideration whatever since the
stunt which Postmaster Oscar
pulled Hunt off between this city
and Amarillo last Monday. In
fact Hunt makes Weston look like
he had learned to walk by follow
ing hearse which had all after
noon to go to the cemetery three
blocks away.
Say, but the way that Hunt
fellow can walk is something peO-
pie don't understand. In fact
none of us seem to understand
the matter. We can't understand
whether it is that he is just a
good walker or that he just want
ed the money, but speaking of
money, thereby hangs a tale.
Last Monday morning Mr..
Hunt very much desired to go to
Amarillo in order to attend the
auto races but thought that four
teen dollars was rather a high
price for a special auto for his
use. Roy Wright came to his
relief and offered to pay Mr..
Hunt the S14 if Mr.. Hunt would
walk the entire distance to Am
arillo. Hunt accepted-and then
waited to see if Wright wouldn't
take the money back. Wright
wouldn't and it was up to Hunt.
Hunt went. A representative of
the News was enveigled into go
ing along in order to see that the
postmaster actually walked the
entire distance. Hunt did and
so did the News man.
Hunt would have been alright
had he provided himself with
some chewing gum and some
thing to eat but, not having these
in hand, he had to take several
bitches in his belt before the day
was over.
Say, but there were some fun
ny things occurred, things that
Hunt made the News man prom
Use not to tell so the News man
won't say anything about Hunts
tendency to rest. his fear to tar
antulas, that awful, awful rain
which fell upon the trudging
men for an hour, Hunts aversion
to publicity and his satisfaction
at seeing the homeward bound
train.
