MUSKRATS BUILD WARMLY,
so WINTER WILL BE COLD.
Delaware Trappers Base Their Claims
on Prey's Habits.

Muskrat trappers who were at Do
yer, Del, recently made Il statement
that caused cold chills to run down the
backs of spectators who love the GOOD
old summer time and that alone.
This viii be one Of the most severe
winters in recent years." said the trap
pers. who are more numerous in Della
ware this year because of the demand
FOR all kinds of fur bearing animals,
made more insistent by the increasing
use of automobile tOgs.
There is one infauible way to tell"
said one. "The muskrat. like the
beaver, is a cunning aquatic animal,
possessed of superior foresight, and
when a winter of unusual length ana
severity Is approaching he builds his
house with unexcelIed skill. He builds
it high and dry. Reeds, cattails,
grasses of the lands and marshes and
then sealing of mud and clay are all
used by the wise little builders until
cold air and raindrops are effectually
barred. Then he makes his house
high, so he can go in and keep above
the rising tides.
when a mild winter approaches the
muskrats spend very little time on
house construction and build small
houses. This year. however. they are
high and large and can and do ac-
commodate as many as twenty musk
rats"
Muskrat men are stepping high, and
an army now follows the business OF
trapping, as the muskrat furs or pelts,
for years worth only 20 to 35 cents,
are now in great demand at so Some
of the Delaware trappers have even
received quotations and requests from
England and Russia.

Bellies of Yakima Reservation Popular

The most popular Yakima girls, If
the matter were put to a vote, would
undoubtedly prove to be the dusky
bellies of the Washington Indian reser-
walton. There isn't one of them with
out a dot of substantial proportions,
and many a mixed blood marriage has
been made on the strength of this fact
Not every suitor of this sort, however,
is as frank in stating his intentions as
man from Mold, Wash, who recently
sent this letter to the Indian agent at
Fort Stncoe:
Dear Sir-I wish 70 marie a half
breed or quarterbreed that is wealthy
and would be willing to Surn over
$500 to me when we are married. IF
you know Of any let me know and
oblige." And in a postscript he adds,
'I am temperance"
A Toppenish quarter breed was re-
Gently married to q white man after a
two weeks courtship. She owns a
well placed allotment herself, and her
mothers real estate is figured at $780,

Another very pretty Indian girl who
has admirers among the palefaces as
well as among the redskins is the
daughter of Josephine Lille, remark
able Indian woman whose allotment
was within the present town Of Top
penish. She conducted a real estate
business there, has just put up a fine
stone apartment house and is said to
own one of the weekly papers there
Josephine has twice married white
