SUPERVISOR CARR
TO WATER USERS

District has issued the following state.
lment to the water users Of this dis
i let:
Summer vii. soon be past and
with it many disagreeable things =
such as dog days, primary elections
s:lted up and grass-grown ditches
10th public and private, and general
fl cling of lassitude and enervation.
In their stead is born new ambi-
tion and a reconstructed energy.
This energy We trust will now be
directed towards cleaning bitches ano
tnewing borders where defective
ones have caused roads to be flooded
ard the public to be greatly lnconve-
lnienced.
Some Of the flooded conditions We
have had during the past two months
have cost the public severa, hundred
cellars.
Only a little water on the roads
if not in the right place at the right
time causes a damage to the road
ard loss to the public.
In order to have the best roads we
r.ust have the cooperation Of those
using water for irrigation.
Don't use the roadway as a drain.
age basin for your surplus water.
See that you have a good big mar
gin of safety both in your borders
ard bitches.
We all know what the result will
bs. if we attempt to run two feet Of
water in a ditch having a capacity
Of only one and one-half feet.
Please take care Of your water SO
far as the roads are concerned.
Don't let the water onto the road
one place and then make great show
of virtuous ind enation because you
find road some other place that hap
pens to be the one you wish to use
flooded.
Roads are public property for the
use and convenience Of the travelling
public.
Those in the service Of the count!
having the roads in charge will no
doubt resent the misuse of the roads
the same as you would the abuse Of
your own property.
. Do not drive loose stock along q
read that is yet soft from irrigation
Don't do it. .
Don't think the supervisor has it in
fer you if your name happens to b.
reported to the Judge for having
flooded the road. He shall have moth
ing to do personally with making
these reports, but each man in charge
of a section Of the roads has instruc-
tions to defend the rights Of the pub
liz in the care Of the road.
Don't let your water on the roads.
Tske care of il. We want your CO.
operation. We must have it if we
have good roads.
BY the fifteenth Of this month all
bitches and borders should be in shape
to perform the work required Of them.
A word to the bibulous one: Don't
decorate the roadway with empty bot
ties. They may get broken and cut
automobile tires causing much eX-
pense and inconvenience.
With best wishes for good roads
that your crops may be marketed
quickly with the least possible trou-
bic and outlay, l am, sincerely,

URGES HUNTERS
TO BE CAREFUL.


the destruction Of property and human
life caused by careless hunters. Il
warning issued by the forest service
Ii ges all sportsmen on the national
forests To use the greatest possible
care 20 prevent forest fires and to
avoid such accidents as the one which
caused the death Of Forest Ranger
Clark on the Cabinet National Forest
IL Montana last year Mr. Clark, it
is said. was mistaken for bear by
careless hunter who fired without
waiting to be sure what he was shoot
ling at. To show that such accidents
are not uncommon, the warning quotes
an estimate Of the biological survey
that between $50 and 200 persons are
annually killed in hunting accidents in
this country, and that this number is
Increasing. Furthermore, it is stat
eG, l5 per cent OF all the forest fires
In the national forests are caused by
careless hunters and other campers.
The national forests, it is pointed
opt. contain the best hunting grounds
in the country The number Of game
animals is increasing on account Of
the protection from forest fires and
Illegal killing which is afforded by
forest officers. On many Of the for
ests deer, elk, mountain sheep and
other species are fairly plentiful. while
small game is usually abundant. Bear,
mountain lion and other predatory
animals are found Oh most Of the for
ests and the killing of these meat eat
ers is encouraged because they prey
ION domestic stock and the nerbivorous
game animals.
The value Of the forests for hunting
grounds depends largely upon whether
TREY are protected from fire, says the
warning. Forest fires destroy the
range and breeding places Of the game
and often kill large numbers of the
animals themselves, while a great
many more are driven out OF the coun-
try by the flames. Furthermore,
streams flowing through burned over
areas are subject to such extreme va
riations of flow and are often so
choked up with deposits Of sediment
that fish cannot live in them.
Each year. it is stated, sees an in
crease in the numbers Of persons who
visit the national forests for hunting
ard other recreation purposes. Every
effort is made to encourage this use
q the forests. Maps showing the rec
reation resources have been issued, and
the trails built by the rangers open
up new country to visitors.
The best indication of a mans fit
ness to be in the woods, the warning
points out, is the care which he shows
in handling firearms and fire. None
bur the most inexperienced tenderfoot
will shoot without getting plain
view of the game, while the man who
lets his camp fire escape or VINO care
lessly drops lighted match or hot to-
bacco ashes betrays at once his ig-t
NJ rance Of the fundamental principles
OF woodcarft. Such men, says the
warning, should keep out of the woods.

Enoch. just for a joke. picked Up
one OF the joints and put It In a

logs and waited 10 see what would
happen. In about 10 minutes he
heard a sort OF low whistle and then
rustlins. The head Of the joint
snake came out OF the woods and
looked around. II then made a pc
cullar whistle and another Joint
backed up and fastened on 70 the
head
The head vhistled twice and joint
No. 2 came ont. and so on. so many
whistles for each Joint. until Il came
time for the one Enoch had in the
bucket. Al it, call the thing

Enoch said the last he saw OF n

This either scared the Joint or II
