snowbaII. the Rabbit.


 Dear Uncle Jed; I will tell you about my pet I have a little white angora rabbit. His name is Snow ball. He has pink ears and red eyes,
 named him Snowfall because he looked just like a snowba1l. He has many tricks now, but when I got him he could only hop across the floor.
 He is a good pet when he don t go out of his little house. The 1tFst trick he learned was to eat cut, of nay hand, The step out of his little house is quite jump but he always gets out. A few days age the dogs chased him but he gave a kick with his hind legs and got away. He also jumps over the dogs back.
 When I call hina he always comes. hope some of the Wide Awakes have little rabbit like mine

Hunting Rabbits.

Hunting Rabbits.
 Last winter two men from the city and two men from the mill came hunt ing for rabbits in our woods Thew had two dogs and two ferrets. I ask ed if I could go and they said I could if I kept quiet. I promised to keep quiet and we started off.
 It was winter as X have before told you, and the snow lay on the ground AS we entered the woods we saw tracks in the snow One of the men said 1t was skunk, but the other said it was a rabbit.
 We (means me, too) followed the tracks. At last one of the men saw a rabbit sitting on an old stump. He fired. but hit the rabbit in the hind foot and away hopped he. eve shot him in the foot so he could not run).
 We could follow his tracks because he left blood in his tracks.
 At last the dogs stopped and we saw the rabbit sitting on a fence this time. The two men fired and shot MT. Rabbit through the heart, and this was the end of MT. Rabbits life.
 Don't some of the Wide-Awakes think it cruel to kill a rabbit in that way.

Two Friends.


 There. were once two girls named Polly and Lucy who were great friends They both attended the same school and Sunday school.
 One Sunday after Sunday school had closed Polly said:
 Lucy, 1t is Easter Sunday next Sunday. Are you going to buy an Easter hat?"
 Lucy said she had not thought of that, but she would let Polly know if she was going to buy a hat. AS the two girls walked home to- gether Polly was asking Lucy if she would like to buy some straw and trimmipg and have a hat made, as it would not be SC expensive. Lucy did not want to.
 Polly was going to have her hat made and the money she saved on it she was going to give to her teacter at Sunday school to be sent to the poor children who were homeless. Don't you Wide-Awalxes think Polly was kind?

Salt Lake Telegram, May L: Andrew
P. May berry assumes charge of opera
tons at the Centennial Eureka mine in
Tintic to-day. He will succeed Super.
intendent Brown, who rendered his res.
ignation some time ago. Mr.. Msyberry
formerly had charge of this Tintic mine
for the United States Smelling Company
but lett it several years ago to take
charge of the company mine at Eureke,
Nevada. He has had years of expert.
ence in mining operations in Tintic aud
the workings of the Centennial property
are familiar to him.
For three ears the properties at Eu-
reka, Nevada, have been closed down
& Palisade railroad. During this period
Mr.. May berry remained at the mine and
watched the company properties. The
railroad has been rebuilt. but the min
ing company cannot get suitable rates
to warrant the shipping of the low grade
product, so operations have not been re.
sumed. The United States Company
has a complaint filed with the Nevada
Railway Commission asking for a read
justment of ore rates from the Eureka
properties. No decision has been hand
ed down as yet, but if it is favorable to
the United States Company operations
will be resumed at the mine.
When Mr.. May berry severed his con-
nection with the Centennial mine il
was the largest producer in Tintic. II
has held this position during all these
years and its physical condition to-day
is the best in several years. 1t is now
developing some very promising ground
owned by the King William Company,
on which the United States Company
has taken an option. There is also a
large area in its W possessions which
is to be prospected. Below the water
level it is believed that this company
will find considerable ore of a CONNER
cial grade.

Pine County proposes to do in this
matter:
Sheriff Grain. acting under the ad.
vice of District Attorney Billings. will
enforce the new law regarding the
granting of liquor licenses to persons
outside the corporate limits of Ely.
This law refers to the procuring OF
a county liquor license and requires the
applicant to first make application to
the Board of County Commissioners and
file the same with the required license
fee with the sheriff, who shall present
the same to the board at their next
regular meeting. The sheriff and com
m~issioners shall then confer with regard
TO the advisability of issuing or refusing
the license.
Under the old law an applicant for
a county liquor license could have the
license issued oy the sheriff and start
business at ono
The new law will give the commits
sioners aad sheriff time in which to look
up the applicant and investigate the
kind of saloon he intends to open before
granting the license.
This law applies to those who are in
business at the present time and when
the licenses under which they are car.
rying on business expire, an application
to the County Commissioners will be
necessary before q new license can be
granted by the sheriff for the next
quarter.
A strict enforcement Of the law has
been determined on by Sheriff Grain
and all applications for county liquor
licenses made after May l. 1918. will
come under the new regulation.

COUNTY LIQUOR LICENSES
Selling Whisky to Indians and
Others Contrary to Law To
Be Stopped

At the meeting Of the Board Of Conn
ty Commissioners In Eureka on Monday
and Tuesday, the new law regarding
the granting Of liquor licenses was thor
oughly discussed by the Board. District
Attorney and the Sheriff. Particular
reference was made in the discussion to
the selling Of whisky to Indians. the
same being emphasized by q report of
the Justice af the Peace and Constable
Of Palisade Township in which it was
shown that out Of ten criminal cases
tried there last month, eight we're for
drunkenness aud d~isorderly conduct by
Indians.
So many complaints have been made
about drunken Indians. not only in the
towns, but around outside ranches, when
peoples lives have been threatened,
that it was determined to strictly en-
force the new law. and that il the Board
could reasonably ascertain that any
saloon keeper or others dealing in liquor
were selling liquor TO Indians or minors,
or any other person contrary to law,
they would refuse to grant . license. OF
would revoke one if granted.
The Board, District Attorney and
Sheriff were unanimous in their
opinion that this traffic should be
stopped. and they believe that this Law
provides a remedy. Heretofore. it has
been difficult and next to impossible 10
obtain evidence that would convict. but
now it lie left to the discretion of the
Board to grant or refuse a license. We
trust that all engaged in the liquor bust
ness will cooperate with the County
officials in this matter.
