will freeze dog, there is still some hope.

An item is going the rounds TO the
effect that quail In large quantities are
starving to death on account of the deep
snow that everywhere covers the ground
in this region. The item would be i'm
portant II true, and the reaeon 1t Is not
true Is because there are no quail In this
section. Time was when there we're
some quail here, but they we're winter
killed, as they always will be should they
stray into this country, from sections to
the south of us. With pheassnts 1t Is
different. They will get through pretty
hard winter with what feed they can get
from the buds OF birch, poplar and iron
wood trees, with an occasional relish of
sumac bulbs and fern seeds.

Mrs. l.. g. Cooper, on the Reck
Cooper Il Co. lease on Cfopp Hill, had a
narrow escape from losing her house by
fire last Wednesday morning. Two OF
the lease men. Edward Collins and Geo.
Rhodes, were thawing out frozen gas
line near the house when the fire caught
inside the wall, burning of the back part
of the house, bedroom occupied by Miss
Marion Cary, niece of Mrs. Cooper
Miss Cary lost all her clothes and the
bedroom furniture was burned. The
men put out the fire after hard fight and
saved the balance of the house, although
Mr.. Collins burned his hands, and Miss
Cary frosted her hands while pumping
water. The house being one story
structure, the loss will be small. There
was no insurance.
Roy Dotterrer, of Muzette, who is
hauling ties from the Berry job on the
Curtin tract on Little TioDests creek
had an experience Monday with a runa'
way load that he does not care 10 have
repeated. When he started down the hill
leading into the creek valley he stopped
to put on a "rough lock" chain but the
horses could not hold the load and started
to run. At the first big bump Mr.. Dot
terrer was thrown onto the double-trees
and from there threw himself into the
deep snow at the side of the road. The
team and load kept on going to the foo
of the hill, where he found them piled in
a heap with thirteen ties on top of one o
the horses. After getting one horse ~
he was obliged to hitch to the other horse
to pull it out of the tangle. Strange tC
say neither horse was injured and aitel
making a few necessary repairs he wa'
able to bring the load on to town.
