blsPostNe OF DEER.

That the deer law which was pass
ed by the last session of the general
assembly was perfect in every detail
no one will attempt to maintain 1t
was adopted for the purpose of over
coming the great nuisance which had
been caused the farmers of the state
by the law which protected the deer
and encouraged their propa CATION.
Their crops were suffering in a man
ner which was unjust and it was i'm
possible to get adequate reconpense
even through the idea of reimburse
ment which the state carried out.
No one will deny that the deer are
pretty to look at and present attrac-
tive pictures as they feed through the
country, dash across fields or dot the
landscape, but they nevertheless had
increased to such numbers that they
were a detrfment to those who were
engaged in agriculture. This condi-
ton was one of the best bits of evil
dence that they never should have
been enticed into Connecticut to make
it feeding ground. They have way
of getting their meals where they
please, which should have been recog-
r1ized before the law giving them pro-
lection over a long period of years
was passed.
The time finally came when stop
had to be put to It and that was pos
asible simply through killing them off
and when it is reported that $50 have
been killed since August first it can
be appreciated that a substantial
reduction in the nursker has been
made. just why the farmers who are
allowed 70 kill the deer which have
gotten their living off of their land
should not have the right to dispose
Of the venison as they please is diff
cult to understand and it would not
be surprising if the next legislature
was called upon to give further con-
sideration to this point

INGALLS, DISMISSAL.

Widespread interest has been man
ifested in the investigation leading
up to the removal of Edward E. Nc
Call, chairman Of the public service
commission Of New York. The pub
lie not only of that state, but of every
state, has followed the matter with
deep concern because of the efforts
which have been disclosed upon the
part Of the deposed official to get
about the provisions Of the law reIa-
tive to his office, a practice which is
by no means confined to that body,
community or state.
There is a feeling among a certain
number Of people that If they can
juggle their affairs so as to give the
appearance of complying with the law,
instead Of actually doing as they
should, that they are meeting all re-
quirements and this is apparently the
position which Mccall took even

South Wales coal exporters have
been hit hard by the shortage of ships

at the way this has enabled American
coal to take the place of Welsh fuel
in foreign markets.
During eight months ending August
1915, the United States exported to
South American and Mediterranean
ports three million tons more than
during the same period in 1918, while
South Wales exports during the same
period decreased three and a half

Moratorium For Rent.

A moratorium for rent is the
remedy that Sir Alfred Mond pro-
poses in order to release married men
of the small salaried class for the
army. Clerks and shop employees who
would enlist if they could afford it
are still numerous. Sir Alfred does
not really solve the landlords, his crit
les object, since the landlords might
retaliate on others and increase the
financial difficulties of the hour.
Many suggestions are offered for the
release of married men, and the more
the suggestions, the more complex the
that the families become public
charges. or that the women take up
their husbands job or do other work
to help out their small army allow

that wasn't because he did 1t back

Caroline meditatively. 1T had nuts

Mrs. Simpson looked sort of worried
while we were there eating. Mabel

She said all our mothers would think

her if anything happened, but Mabel
quoted her. She said wed take the

SCHUYLER HARRIS DIES
AFTER SHORT ILLNESS

Schuyler Harris, one of the
first men to come to the Flathead
after the opening of the reser-
walton, died at the hospital in
st. lgnatius last Tuesday morn
ing after an illness of about ten
days. He was stricken with
paralysis at his cabin in Roman
about two weeks ago and friends
took him to the hospital where
he could receive care and treat
ment. There was nothing that
could be done for him outside of
the best care and treatment,
which he received, and after a
short period death called him.
Mr.. Harris was about seventy
years old and came to the Flat
head from northwest Wyoming,
where he lived for a good many
years. While not personally &C.
quainted with him, the writer
knew of him in that section
twenty years ago. He had no
relatives here, living by himself
either in his cabin in Roman or
on a piece of land in the timber
east Of Roman which he has been
trying to get as a homestead for
the past five years. Funeral
services were held Wednesday
at St. Ignatius and the remains
inferred in the cemetery at that
place.

The wedding Of Bernard F.
Johnson and Miss Florence E.
Haegg occurred at the Round
Butte church Tuesday evening,
December %, 1915, before a
large number Of invited guests,
Rev. B. Molthan performing the
ceremony. The bride was beau
tifully gowned in cream satin en-
train, with bodice and overskirt
of silk lace, and veil, and carried
a bouquet Of white roses and or
chids. She was attended by her
sister, Miss Helen Haegg, as
maid-o f-honor, dressed in pale

satin. Miss Winnifred Brown of
Roman and Miss Regina Roberts

ring bearer. The church was
decorated with evergreens and
the ceremony went off without a
hitch. Miss Caroline Wolf sang
1.-THE Shepherd of the Fold"

party and a number of intimate
friends repaired to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. LAWS where
a wedding supper was served.
During the interval between the
ceremony and the finishing of the
supper, friends to the number of
200 or more assembled at the
Round Butte consolidated school
building and to the strains Of the
Roman orchestra, took up the
matter of enjoying the dance
provided by the groom. It was
one Of the most enjoyable affairs
of this kind ever held on the res
ervation. and everybody present
was glad to have been there.
The bridal party appeared at
the hall and were congratulated
by their guests and led the
march just preceding the serving
of a midnight lunch. The bride
also threw her bouquec into a
bevy of the young ladies present,
along with the statement that
she who caught the flowers
would be the next one led to the
altar. Miss John Augusta May
berry was the lucky young lady.
The bride is we'll and favor
ably known to all in the vicinity
of the Round Butte and other
portions of the reservation and
is a young lady of many attain
ments and has a host of friends.

and esteem Of his many friends
