Ready-Made Farms

In an irrigated district near CAL

are fenced. a good we'll sunk for do
mestic watecr supply, house and barn
built. and SO acres plowed and plant

These tracts are then offered in the

and are readily sold on cash pay
ment and ten years. time on balance.
This enterprise has been inaugural
ed by the Canadian Pacific railroad.
and the first party of nearly 200 set
tiers has just come out by way of
Montreal. Men with a complete
moving picture outfit accompanied
them in order to picture thsir exper-
ience for the benefit of others who
have an eye on the opportunities of

Some Superstitions
OF Fishermen

Fishermen the world over are az
prone to superstition as sailors are,
and many curious notions prevail
among them as to what shall be done
to court luck in their catches.
One of the strangest notions in
this respect is that held by the In
dians in British Columbia. With
great ceremony and solemnity these
red men go out to meet "the FIRST SAL
mon" endeay orinR in flattering tones
to win the favor of the fish by address,
ing them as "Rreat chiefs.''
The SALMON fisheries in California
used to be responsible for queer GUS
tom on the part of the Indians. Every
spring they would "dance for sal
mon." If the fish did not appear
with that CELEBRITY deemed appropriate
there would be employed "wise
man. who made an image of swim
ming fish which was placed in the
water in the hope of attracting live
fish to the bait.
The Japanese fishermen have the
quaint notion that silence must be
observed. and even thu women left at
home are not permitted to talk lest
the fish should hear and dlsapprove.
Among the members of the primitive
race of the Amos the first fish caught
is brought in through window in
stead of door, so that the other fish
"may not see.'
Among the Eskimos it is held that
bad luck will come should their
women sew while the men are fishing.
If the necessity for mending arises the
women must Go the job shut up in
little tents out of sight of the fisher
men.
The fishermen off the northeast
coast of Scotland will. under no cir
cumstances. allow fisherman at sea
to make mention of certain objects
on land. such as, for instance, dog,
ssswine." sscow,' etc. If on land
chickens are not to be counted before
they are hatched, so at sea fish must
not be counted till the catch be com
pIeted. The Scots think that it is
good luck to find rat gnawing at q
net; also q horseshoe nailed to the
mast vii! help; but the greatest good
luck of all is to see mouse aboard.
The fishermen of the Shetland Is
lands are firmly convinced that bad
luck ensues should man batting his
line mention a cat. and among the
Magyars of Hungary a fisherman will
turn back and wait over tide should
be encounter q woman wearing q
white neckerch:ef.

A dastardly deed was committed
last Sunday morning. 1 Il miles west

Bud Musgroye heard some shooting
near where his drove of turkeys were
out in the woods Sunday morning at
about II O'Clock. He put on his coat
and went out to where he had heard
the disturbance He had NO sooner
arrived upon the scene when he was
attacked by burly stranger, knocked
down and tied about the neck and
body to a log and left in that condi-
ton. He remained in that position
till late in the evening when he was
able to extricate himself and though
numbed and almost FRUSTRATED with
cold was able to drag himself to his
home where he arrived at O'Clock
Monday morning.
After having tied and searched his
victim the culprit disappeared in the
woods. Mr. Musgroye says ne never
saw the man before. BY the treat.
