die for God. They die for millions and
of Gods creatures-God's chill

FIXING
RESPONSIBILITY

People in Everett, Washington,
suffered damage from party OF |.
w VS. from some point up the bay.
The party had tried to land at Seattle
and the city would not let them.
Landing in some anger at Everett,
they got into rumpus and outrages
followed. The sufferers have sued
the city of Seattle, claiming that II
the party had stayed there and been
kept away from Everett, the loss and
injury at Everett would not have
happened.
A 16-year-old girl at Standpoint,
Idaho, went into court and claimed
she had been wronged year and q
half ago. She named local pastor

looked up his past record and found
that he was over In another county
at Bonners Ferry at the time, ana
q number of witnesses appeared IN

Down at Lewiston man got into

nomination. Then a girl Of the COM

crime and he could not get the mat
ter to trial before the election. he
simply had to go to jail or give bonds
and wait, suffering the while. VI
course, he was beaten in the cam

But after all, the risk OF being
alive is probably not any greater
than it has always been. Next!

PREDICTS AN OPEN WINTER

R. H. Ewing, for many years asses
sor Of Custer county, and one man
in whose official accounts and habits
of life they could find no fault, was
down from Mackay recently visiting
his daughter, Mrs. Forest Trego, and
he says that he has been reading ma
ture for a good many years as the
Indians teach it, and is satisfied that
we shall have a mild, open winter
Mr. Ewing says this is based upon
the theory that there is enough OF
the divine foresight called instinct
in the lower animals to guide them
in providing for their material wants,
and he has been in the habit of OBJ
serving whether the squirrels lay up
large stores of food for winter or
small supplies. When they are not
very industrious at harvest time, and
lay up only meager supplies. he finds
that we have an open winter, but
when they work hard and lay up
abundant supplies, he takes the tip
and gets ready for hard winter.
