Trout's Revenge on Bird

Portland. Ore. June S.-Greed seems
to have wreaked vengeance on an
avaricious kingfisher that piled the va
quina River near Elk City, Ore, ac-
cording to Wilmer Nelson, who lives on
the bank. The boy noticed the bird dive
and bring to the surface an unu-
sually large trout. Then ensued a battle
royal, the fish trying to escape and the
bird trying to swallow its prey. When
the kingfisher appeared distressed the
boy went out in a boat picked up the
bird dead, with the big trout stuck in
its gullet

known AS section seven.

House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress

''Sec. 7. That any person who has

TROOPS MOVING NoRTHwARD

Every indication points to peace
full adjustment of the Mexican issue.
The American forces now in Mexico
are gradually consolidating their
positions in generally northward
movement which brings them stead
lily closer to the boundary. While it
is stated that this movement is simp-
ly precautionary to prevent attacks
upon detachments separated from
the bases, yet it is strongly sugges-
tive of a fixed policy to withdraw the
troops gradually to the boundary and
perhaps across the line into Ameri-
can territory. This is undoubtedly
calculated to make for peace between
che two countries. And, moreover,
it is a wise movement, for the Ameri-
can troops in Mexico are at present
discharging no particularly useful
duty. They have dispersed the or
ganiZed bandits, and It is evident
that they cannot accomplish any.
thing further Their withdrawal
would not signify yielding to COM
pulsion, but should be rated as an
act of good faith on the part of the
United States toward q neighbor with
whom this country is now and hopes
TO remain at Deace.

A SUMMERLESS SEASON
Highmore, S. ID. Judy

Highmore, S. D., July Z, 1916.
TO the Editor Of the Free Press:
1t may not be generally known, but
Just one hundred years ago this year
we had a year without a summer.
The major part of the United States
and throughout Eastern Europe there
was practically no summer at all.
The weather of March and April of
this year suggested possible re-oc.
curance of those abnormal metero.
logical conditions, for March tenn
perature was more than five degrees
below the normal and for April more
than one degree below.
AS there was no weather bureau
one hundred years ago, nor any other
systematic record of meteorological
changes, full details of the vagarious
weather OF 1916 are wanting, but by
putting together isolated observa-
tions we are able to frame an ap-
proximately accurate conception of
the unusual conditions to which our
forefathers were subjected.
Niles Weekly Register for June,
1916, quotes from the Boston Senti-
mel statement to the following
effect: Masses of snow still lie in
the fields and very little wheat has
yet been sown in this district.
In the district of Maine a very
heavy storm of ram and snow came
June 6, and was succeeded by frosts
every night until the eleventh. The
corn which was planted was totally
destroyed. The swallows and martin
birds were found frozen on their
nests, and even of the sheep that had
been shorn many perished, though
they were put in houses. The cucum-
bers, melons and most Of the garden
plants were lost.
In some places the ice was half an
inch thick, and it was observed gen.
orally that the oldest, ,inhabitant had
never seen so cold and backward a
spring.
In Vermont the snow of the 9Th
melted as it fell, but on the 7th and
Sth it fell in such quantities that
some of the papers said it lay ten
ten inches deep in some parts of the
country.
In Massachusetts the snow began
to fall on the Sth, and the Boston
papers remark that from the first OF
June until the 18th there had been
eight nights of frost.
This weather prevailed generally
so that but little if anything was
raised during the entire season.
