TOUCHET FARMERS KICK
AT ANTT-BEAVER LAW

Touchet, Wash.-Farmers living

tected by law from trappers.
They burrow under alfalfa fields
along the river banks, making large
underground passages into which
horses and farm machinery fire.

bank in his alfalfa field when the
horses fell through thin covering OF

Ruin Fruit Trees.
The beaver have ruined a large
number of apple and other fruit trees
by cutting into them with their SHARP
teeth. They do not build dams along
this stream, but have many round
mounds of brush and mud, with theil
nests inside.
The law is very strict in this statt

PHONOGRAPH STILLS GROWING
BOOSTERS AND CACKLING HENS

Portland, Ore.-Poultry fanciers of
Vancouver, Wash, have solved the
problem of how to keep blue -blooded
fowls on exhibition from Growing and
squawking SO that visitors cannot
hear each other discuss the fine points
of the birds. 1t is a simple remedy,
too, and was discovered quite by ac-
! cident. A phonograph turned loose
in the poultry exhibit soon put quie-
tus on the cackling hens and Growing
| ROSTERS
| The Vancouver show housed about
500 fowls. The continual racket
from the show pens became almost
unbearable and quite by accident the
remedy was hit upon. A large phono-
graph was installed to distract the
attention Of the visitors to some degree
at least from the chattering chickens
but before a dozen bars of the popu-
lar tunes had been ground out, the
fowls decided that they had had
enough and withdrew from the COM
petition.
So the canned music will be kept
going throughout the show and it is
promised there win be complete re-
lief from the noise of the feathered
aristocrats.

The Cape Blanco Light Station is
the largest lighthouse on the Pacific
coast. Furthermore, it is most advan-
tageously located and its keeper is one
of the Oldest in the lighthouse service
of Uncle Sam. James Langlois has
been Keeper there since August IL,
1877, and is still hale and hearty and
a very fit man for the position.
James Hughes is assistant keeper,
and has been such for a period of
20 years. Ezra E. Marr is second as
sistant keeper, and has held his po-
sition at Blanco for years. Mr..
Langlois and Mr.. MARI live with their
wives on the station grounds, but Mr..
Hughes has fine ranch on Skies riv-
er, about one mile from the light
house, in fertile and picturesque
bottom.
Cape Blanco light station was es-
tablished in 1870, and is one of the
Oldest lights on the Pacific coast II
is also the largest, the lenses in it:
tower being inches greater in di'
ameter than in any other light sta
ton on this coast The prisms, how.
ever, are of the same size as those
used in any other first order light
house.
Lard oil, the first and now archaic
means of illumination was the means
first employed to shed radiance ou
on the Pacific ocean at the Cap,
Blanco light. This means was useC
18 years. Next came mineral or re
fined coal oil, which is used today
though under still better conditions
Mineral oil is non-explosive; that is
the oil when used in purely flui
form, can overflow around the flam
and while it may ignite, will bur-
slowly and not explode.

DIGITAL PROFANITY IN THE
MOVING PICTURE SHOWS

(, Cleveland.-Deaf mutes are COM
planning against the use of profane
and indecent expressions by players
in moving picture films, and will ask
for a rigid censorship by the manu-
facturers.
Mrs. Elmer e. Bates, for many years
a teacher in the deaf and dumb and
an expert in the art Of lip reading,
declares that these shows are the chief
source of amusement for the deaf,
and they are prevented from enjoy
ing them because they are able to
understand what is being said by the
characters on the screen. Mrs. Bates
made tour of the downtown shows
yesterday accompanied by q reporter,
who wrote down the picture talk, and
at times the language was SO vile that
she had to stop.
Mayor Baehr admits that the ques-
ton is too deep for him, but thinks
| it is a matter to be adjusted by the
Humane society. a. B. Williams Of
| this organization, however, says it
should be taken up with the mafiufac-
turers of films.

FIND MOUSE IN LOAF.
Toast Lost Its SAVIOR for a Portland
Family as Loaf Of Bread Was
TTSR6

How would you like to be enjoy
ing some nice buttered toast for your
breakfast, and after eating heartily
of it, find big fat mouse in the CEN
ter of the loaf of bread from which
you had been making the toast?
That was the experience in the
home of Mrs e. L. Fraley S4S Was
CO street, yesterday morning while
the family was at breakfast. The
bread for the toast was cut from a
fresh loaf obtained from one of the
sanitary bakers of the city, and so
well did it please the palates of the
family that another supply had to be
made. The housewife took her knife
and sliced off another section of the
loaf, leaving exposed to view a mouse
which had been cooked to a delicate
turn. Needless to say, those seated
around the breakfast table lost Their
appetites.
| Deeply mortified, Mrs. Fraley i'm.
mediately reported the discovery tc
the city board of health, with the re-
quest that an inspection be made o.
the bakery from which the bread wa!
obtained.

POSTAL EMPLOYEES ALSO
FAVOR EARLY SHOPPING

If Portland should shop early, there
is redoubled reason why its Christmas
packages should be mailed early, says
Portland paper. All the reasons
which SAVIOR of humanitarianism ap-
ply to the force of postoffice work
ers as powerfully as to clerks in
stores, for the men employed by I'm
Gle Sam will soon have TO commence
working IL hours day and night shifts
and even longer in the near future.
Christmas to them will mean moth
ing but a bewilderment Of rush,
weary limbs at the close of each day
and an exhaustion which will require
several days. rest to repair.
But there is a more immediate and
selfish argument for public consider
alton. Unless the public puts its
Christmas mail in early, it is physi-
cally impossible to have the mail de-
livered on time. During the busiest
of the holiday season, the volume OF
| mail jumps to about 10 times the nor
NAL run, whereas the increase given
| the postoffice for this work Is only
| equal to s per cent of the total force
This means that If Christmas mail Is
piled in the last few days prior tc
December 25 it must accumulate II
the offices until the force can pos,
sibly get through it, which alway.
takes from eight to ten days.
| If the public would show some con
sideration for the postoffice force ant
commence depositing Christmas pack
ages two weeks or more prior to the
25th. the vast increase would be dis
tributed over considerable period
and the force of employees probabl.
be able to handle it about as fast a!

IDAHO JUDGE FAvORS
SQUATTERS IN DECISION

Boise, Ida.-In an action to quiet

The land was a portion of grant

PACIFIC COAST IS
NOT PROTECTED
MILITARY AUTHORITIES AT
VANCOUVER MAKE STATEMENT
Barraclz Officers Say Western States
Would Be Helpless in Face of N
vading Foe-Col. James jackson
Says We Were Never So Unprepar-
ed for War.

Portland, Or.-That the Pacific
coast is not sufficiently protected
from any other nation that may have
a hostile intent is the statement of
military authorities stationed at Van
couver barracks.
Patritic citizens aver that invaders
would be driven into the sea, should
they land on this coast. Practiced ar
my officers say, on the contrary, that
the coast would dig up any sum that
might be demanded by the invaders.
This argument has been started by the
statement from Washington lately
submitted to congress that the United
States is virtually helpless in case of
war
This country was never so unpre-
pared, except at the beginning of the
civil war, to meet the attacks of a for
eign enemy" said Col. James jack
son, formerly a squadron commander
In the Fourteenth United States cav
airy. 1.-THE military forces we now
have on the Pacific coast are insig-
nificant, and such navy as is here
would be helpless.
"It is true that the few coast for
tifications we have are perfect il
| equipment, but there is lack of mer
to handle the guns and whole batter.

such danger, large bodies of troop

without large naval fleet to pre-
vent the conveying Of troops to ou
coast, it is clear that we have n
