braska is an insurgent, because of the
tariff. and this is as much so with the
republicans as with the democrats.
THE matter that now is interesting the
people of the state more than insurgency
and the tariff, though these are burning
questions too, Is local county option. We
have municipal local option in Nebraska
but no county local option laws, and the
majority of the people are in favor of this.
Ninety per cent Of the counties would
vote for local option if they could. The
Nebraska Anti-Saloon league is working
throughout the state for this. with some
prospect of success. The saloon people are
equally busy, and are fighting the move

work that the commission is doing

scenery one young gobbler arose and
made some remarks in turkey Ian
guage, relating, perhaps, advice given
him by his elders, which knew from
experience that the worst enemy Of all
the turkey tribe was the coyote, which
had for years harassed them IN their
haunts in the Sinaloa woods. To what
ever purpose, however, the converse
tion was directed, the resolution was
arrived at promptly that flight was
always the move for safety when any
thing that even looked like a coyote
arrived in their vinicity, even when ac-
companied by man, who had been hith-
erto regarded as a friend, and without
any further argument upon the mat

is a latent wildness that crops out
when any stranger invades the wire
screened pens where they are kept,
while the approach of dog throws
them into frenzy. There is. however,
one old gobbler who seems made of tho
stuff that warriors are built from and.
instead of being in the least afraid of
strangers, he is constantly ready for
battle, and will approach the wire
screened walls of the turkey pen and
make a highly formidable demonstra-
ton against any one he does not know.
He is also entirely able to take care
of any canine that comes up too close,
and if any small dog should find an
entrance to the pen where he is kept

but at once starts war.
This old turkey has also had a run
ming battle on his hands for nearly
two years with Mr.. Vogelsang, who
is essentially a lover OF birds and would
not hurt him for anything in the
world, but whenever the chief deputy
of the commission pays a visit to the
farm the battle Is renewed and 1t Is
ridiculous in the extreme to see the
gobbler, who is one Of the largest pro-
cured from Sinaloa. strutting around
in constantly widening circles and
swelling up until he seems thrice the
size of any turkey ever hatched all
the time keeping q watchful eye upon
his visitor and endeavoring to take
him unawares.
That success has attended the ex-
pertinent of the commission with the
turkeys is a matter of much interest
to the game commissions of other
states. even those where once the wild
turkey was comparatively common. and
there is no doubt that other states,
following the steps of California, where
the turkey was never a natural resi-
dent, will make plans to propagate this
bird, which is so fast following in the
steps Of the buffalo and fading away
before the settlers who are reaching
far back into the woods that were
once his stronghold But the plans of
Mr.. Argabrite do not merely stop at
the introduction OF the wild turkey
into California, for 1t Is his desire to
keep the work up until there are
enough Of the birds to justify putting
them among the various game birds
that the sportsman is privileged to
pursue and 1t Is not at all impossible

process involved, from the day that the
turkeys saw the dog they began grad
ually to revert to shyness and retired
to the less freQuenred portions Of the
park and today are fast becoming as
wild as If they had never been in cap
tivity at ALL Cooperating with the
fish and game commission, the forest
rangers in the national parks where
the wild turkey has been set at liberty
are taking especial care to see that
they are not molested in the least, and
there is hardly any doubt of the sue
cess of the experiment, for the con-
stant watchfulness of the forest rang
ers and the fact that they devote much
atory animals insures the turkeys a
comparatively safe ranging ground
where they may CLEAN their living un-
disturbed and rear their families in
comparative safety, which is a matter
of vital Importance, for the wild tur-
key, while one of the shyest birds of
all in it's native haunts, builds on the
ground and is thus exposed to the
raids of all the proving animals that
find in eggs prize beyond any other
form of food.
Almost the entire credit for the sue
cessful rearing of SO many young tur-
keys is due to Mr.. Argabrite, who has
taken exceptional fnterestNin the ex-
from q practical knowledge of wild
turkeys acquired by him when he was
boy in the thick forests of Virginia

had sent the turkey to the turkey

tdity at his presence they utterly dis
regarded the food that he supplied them
with and preferred ths seeds and wild
food Of the forest to that which they
had been supplied with from the time
that they had been tiny little chicks.
This fact formed topic of much in
terest to the forest rangers engaged
IN caring for the park. and they at once
took the matter UP with headquarters,
with the result that they were in
structed to cooperate with the fish and
game commission in any manner that
they could and to pay especial atten-
tion to the attempt being made by 1t
to make the wild turkey a common
game bird in the years to come. For
several days the turkeys ranged close
about the camp and seemed to be a
trifie too domesticated for their own
good, but one day another ranger Wis
tied the camp and with him was a
dog, an ordinary, inoffensive canine,
without any bloodthirsty qualities in
the least. This ranger, having heard
of the experiment, desired TO see for
himself just what wild turkeys looked
like, and, accompanied by his dog, went
out from camp to where the turkeys

engaged in decreasing the bug popu-
lation of the park and gathering a
living for themselves. but as soon as

and the mayor, Councilmen Psenicka,

The committee organized by electing
F. G. Pierce chairman and James Nc

Mayor Ingledue's scheme for buying
the property on the installment plan
was discussed. Mr.. Pierce explained
that trusteeship would have to be
devised to hold the property until such
time as it could be sold to the city
at a price which the city could vote
bonds to pay under the limitations of
the law. Every one present concurred
in the opinion that Jones & Hovey's
asking price of s325.000 for the plant
with the street railway held out was
too high but the majority favored
buying for the city if it could be done
at a fair price. The evening was spent

Johnson was arrested there for forgery.

Johnson whose home is in Minneap-

about two weeks ago. he passed q

another for $50 on the Carlson Grocery
Company. He secured the cash for
both checks. A similar attempted
forgery at the 5. W. LaShelle store
caused suspicion and Mr.. LaShelle in

johnson left town and evidently re-
