Western Newspaper Union Nows Service.
Boulder, Colo.-An action insuring
the expenditure of at least $11 600 on
the scenic highway running north
from Boulder to Lyons was taken by
the county commissioners when they
voted to appropriate 81 of county mon

Of the road
Boulder business men have already
contributed $3,710 for the purpose, and
the action of the commissioners means
that $7,420 will be added to this
amount.
The funds which will be available
Will make it possible for the commis-
Sioners to spend about $1,000 per mile
on the scenic highway. Those in
charge of the work plan to make de-
tours rather than to go to the expense
of cutting down all the hills along the
route.

CHEEKY FELLOW is CHlPMUNK
Little Animal Does No Harm and Is
Only Prosecuted Through
Thouohtlessness.

/
OF all the squirrel tribe, the chip
munk is the most common. He seems
| to have fondness for civilization
which the others lack, and delights to
| be near mankind. AS result, and be-
cause of his confiding and fearless
nature, this little squirrel may often
be found quite near to the house, or,
If you happen to be in the woods, he
will investigate your tent with in
quisitive nose and pattering feet.
Unlike the other squirrels the chip
munk, hackee or ground squirrel, as
he is variously called, is far more at
home upon the ground than in the
treetops; in fact, he will rarely ascend
tree if it is possible to avoid it. Per-
haps this is because he is not equipped
with the bushy tail that the tree-lov-
ing squirrels use as a combination rud-
der and balancing pole
The burrow of the chipmunk is a
rather curious affair The main tunnel
or entrance often extends into the
ground for three feet or more, at which
point side chambers usually branch
off; in one of these side chambers the
chIpmunk makes his winter nest, the
others being used as storage places for
provisions, often a bushel or more of
nuts and grains being stored therein
for winter consumption.
All of these provisions are carried to
the nest in the curious cheek pouches
of the little ANIMAL in the late autumn
chipmunks may be seen darting about
with these pouches so distended with
their cargo as to make the little fel-
lows look as if afflicted with an cpl
demic of mumps. When he considers
his larder sufficiently stocked, the chip
munk retires to his nest for the win
ter. His little birdlike tracks on the
snow in even the coolest weather
prove that he ventures abroad occa-
sionally, for exercise at least. If you
dig down into his burrow in the dor
mant season you are apt to find from
two to six of the little fellows curled
up snugly in the one nest-a situation
never found in the homes of the other
squirrels.
The chief enemies of the chipmunks
are the small boy with stick and air
rife, the weasel, the hawk and the
OWL The worst of these, however, is
the small boy. The chipmunk may not
be of any value as a destroyer of ami
NAL or vegetable pests, but he is new
ertheless a CHEEKY, harmless little
fellow, who makes the woods bright
with his happy, chirping cry and the
patter of his tiny feet.

FIND WRECKAGE FROM BOAT

London, Feb. 26.-The German SUBJ
marine blockade about the British isles
mas been drawn closer. The govern
ment is preparing to take the most
drastic measures against the Teutons,
and in furtherance of this scheme Lord
charles Beresford will propose to Pre-
mler Asquith in Parliament that all
Germans caught sinking undefended
vessels without an attempt at rescue
be publicly hanged as pirates, if they
are captured.
News comes from Amsterdam that
the Dutch government has seized the
merchant ship Hanna following dis
covery of 5000 pounds of copper hid
was to be smuggled into Germany
The Dutch also are considering calling
to arms the men Of the 1915 class to
combat any possible attempt to vio-
late Hollands neutrality.
Several more vessels have fallen
victim to the German raiders-one of
them an armed merchantmen, the Clan
MacNaughton, with which 280 men
went down.
The British admiralty announced
on Wednesday that the Clan Mac
Naughton, an armed cruiser, has been
missing since February 8, and it is
feared his been lost. The vessel was
under the command of Robert Jeffrys.
The Clan MacNaughton carried 20
officers and a crew of 261 men.
Wreckage believed to be part of the
missing vessel has been found.
The admiralty states that the Clan
MacNaughton is believed to have been
lost as the result of storm that
ragged on February 8, but it is pos
sible that she was struck by a German
submarine
The steamship Rio Parana, laden
with coal, was sunk seven miles east
of the pier at Eastbourne, England.
There is little doubt that the loss was
due to German submarine. The Rio
Parana's crew of 81 men we're rescued
by another steamer and taken into
New Haven.
The other vessels reported lost are:
British transport No. 1872, sunk in
English channel, according to official
announcement in Berlin.
British steamer Oakby, sunk by sub
marine in channel.
British collier Branksome Chine, tor
pedoed in channel
