Gus parts of the state have volun-
teered to care for a portion of the
herd OF elk that is now starving at
Jackson S Hole, wyoming. The
Grand Lodge recently received per
mission from the government to Sc
cure as many of the herd as any
lodge desired TO care for until spring
opened and ranges open sufficiently
for the animals to take care of them
selves.
The grippe epidemic that has
prevailed during the early part OF
spring has been unusually severe
and the cases have been slow of
recovery, being subject to quite
long periods of prostration. How
ever there have not been many cases
of pneumonia following, mainly ow-
ing to the good advice of physicians
that their patients should take good
care of themselves and avoid ex-
posure as much as possible during
convallescence.

In the passing of the skating rink
from Delta back to Montrose from
whence il came) there is left a va
cant corner on which it's low, fiat
structure stood. The vacant lot,
however, is fully as appreciable as
the rink, which but added one more
TO the class of clap-trap amusements
which gather in the town loose
dimes and quarters with no adequate
return for the money. In view of all
of which. Delta can console herself
for the loss of the rink. and wou'd
no doubt remain consoled even if
ii should never return.
