HEAVY LOSSES OF STOCK

We have letter from one of our
local trappers saying that one night
while he was encamped on the desert
trapping, a bunch of It's sheep that
had become detached from a herd,
came along and beded near his camp.
In the morning they were gone, and
he followed their trail for some dis
lance, when he came across sheep
freshly killed. Farther on was an
other and another, and he found 10
all told. The tracks indicated that
a bob cat had gotten into the bunch
and killed them for blood and sport
until satisfied.
Reports of the stockmen indicate
that losses from predatory animals
amount to very large sums; much
larger than the general public have
and idea Of. 1t is said that the last
appropriation of $4,000 for animal
bounty was expended during a short
period during which the losses of
animals amount to over a million.
If the state had expended half a
million discriminating the predatory
animals, the losses would probably
have been greatly reduced during
that period and for good while fol-
lowing.

ADVICE

I met a man along the road who
stood beside broken wheel, and on
his face there plainly showed a grief
that words cannot reveal. young
man." said he, there is a truth that
should be taught to every youth. You
see this wheel? You see my clothes
Well this is how my story goes:
rode along and all went well until !
looked aside-and fell. The path !
chose was rough with knobs and here
and there were pits and holes. 1t
was as good as could be had-the
roads were rough, they all were bad
But when / met stretch worse still,
said: I'll take another path, will.
SO like fool I looked around and
like fool hit the ground. I tumb-
led into that there pit and landed on
my head in it. 1t bent the forks and
bruised my hip and scraped some
whiskers off my lip. 1t serves me
right-dad blast my hide! never
should have looked aside. And come
to look around to left or right there
amt no better trail in sight
He paused and stopped his tale OF
woes and blew some graved from his
nose; he felt for whiskers that were
gone and heaved sigh and then
went on: Now listen here, I'm tell
ing you thing you never want to do,
If you decide to take track, stay by
your choice and don't look back!
Don't look around! Don't look aside!
Look straight ahead and save your
hide. If you decide some thing to
do, look straight ahead and fight her
through"
| turned around and went my way
and thought of what he had to say.
The lesson taught I'll meier forget;
who he was I wonder yet, and where
he went I never found-I never stop
ped to look around.-Caldwell Tri-
hume.

DEEP SNOW DRIVES JACK
RABBITS TO LAVA BEDS

Idaho Falls.-A regular hegira of
jackrabbits was witnessed by the peo-
pie of the dry farm districts 10 miles
west Of Idaho Falls, when literally
thousands of the rabbits in large
bodies were seen moving rapidly
south toward the lava beds.
The rabbits are supposed to have
come from the Roberts vicinity,
where government experts, in coop
GRAFTON with dry farmers, are waging
campaign against the rabbits and
thousands of them have been killed
with poisoned alfalfa within the past
week.
Whether the migration was caus-
ed by the killing of so many rabbits
or on account of the severe cold and
deep snow, is not known. People
who have lived in that vicinity for
years state that they have never be-
fore witnessed anything like it.
The snow is from two and a half
to three feet deep on the level in
the dry farm districts, and it is
thought the rabbits were seeking the
shelter of the lava beds.

HISTORY OF THE FORD TRIP

j. Herbert Duckworth, one OF the
men who went with Ford's peace
party on their trip to Europe to stop
the war, has just published brief
statement throwing considerable
light on the peaceful trip.
II MIR. Duckworth's statements are
correct the peace party was organ
lied by Madam Schwimmer, an Aus
trian or German lady in America and
Mr.. Ford was roped in to pay the
bills under misinformation from her
as to just what the program and the
prospects were.
Last spring when the Women's
Peace commission was in session at
The Hague, an agent of the Austrian
government collected documents
from various European rulers who
had written something cheerful and
encouraging to the delegates or to
the convention; and Madam Schwim-
mer got these all together and when
she was organizing the Ford Peace
party she claimed to be receiving
encouraging communications from
the European rulers and endorse
ments from them of the peace move,
that Ford and others were led to be-
lieve that all Europe was anxious to
have them come over and start the
overtures for peace. Madam
Schwimmer took care moi. to let any
body see the documents, but kept
talking enthusiastically about them
all the time. After the vessel put to
sea the members of the party kept
asking to see the papers. She STAYED
them off as long as she could, but
when in mid-ocean the demands be-
came so insistant that she had to
bring them out. When it was seen
that these were the old letters writ
ten to Jolly" the delegates at The
Hague last spring, the whole party
had a chill. They began to quarrel
and all but fight, and then came the
row over the resolutions condemning
President Wilson for advocating
reasonable preparedness for war.
The delegates were informed that un-
less they signed the resolution con-
demning the president they would
be dropped from the party on reach
ing Europe.
This set them all in an uproar, and
the leaders of the party, who were
trying to uphold that action, merited
the scorn and contempt Of most of
the party. Quarreling and pickering
continued and when the newspaper
men had chance to send dispatches
home, they were handed to the ships
master, to be forwarded by wire, and
he handed them to Madam Schwim-
mer to scrutinize. She censored them
and little of it ever got ashore to
the cable office. Mr.. Ford took the
first chance to return home and when
the party arrived at the Hague, many
Of the members took advantage of
Mr.. Ford's liberality in financing the
trip and ordered luxuries, new
gowns, etc., and asked that the bills
be presented to the Ford treasurer
for the party.
AS a buffer and flim-fammer,
Madam Schwimmer assisted by two
or three of the reverend gentlemen
of the party successfully carried out
her purpose in getting them out to
sea, but could not bluff the armies
into going home.

THREE OREGON GIRLS BRAVE
THE DANGERS OF THE WAR

Portland, Oregon.-Had the three
daughters Of F. E. Rickert, former
Chicagoan, now living in Oregon,
been boys, undoubtedly they would
have been warriors, with preferences
for the aeroplane or submarine corps.
AS it is. they have determined to
place themselves in the midst of war
and strife. Two already are in the
war zone. Miss Frances, the young
est, is nurse in a London hospital.
Miss Ethel has applied to the British
government for permission to go to
France to learn how to help in maxi
ing munitions, that she may teach
English women, and Miss Edith, un-
til recently an assistant in the de-
partment of English literature at the
University of Chicago, is now on her
way to India, where, it is reported,
there may be an uprising of natives
at any moment. She is seeking ex-
periences that may be utilized in her
stories.

IDAHO FALLS HOMESTEADER
HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE

Idaho Falls.-Oran johnson, who
lives on homestead claim IL miles
west of town, had an experience with
a cat the other night that is not quite
to his liking. Johnson has some
chickens on his bachelor ranch that
he is proud of, and which contri-
butte to the good things of life. AS
a change from salt pork and canned
goods, fresh eggs are appreciated /;
SO, when he heard his. prize hens
sending out wailing signals of dis
tress the other night, he did not stop
to dress, though the thermometer
was lowering around rs below zero,
but rushed to the assistance of his
pets.
Opening the hen house door and
seeing a pair of eyes cleaning in the
dark was cat. 1t was cat all right,
but not the type, breed or tempera-
ment that he thought it was. instead
of being nice, even tempered, house
raised variety it proved to be of the
"bobcat" species.
Johnson seized the varmint by the
hind legs and gave it jerk out from
behind the boards where it was hid
ing and when he discovered his mis-
take attempted to let go. The cat
by this time had become warmed up
by the excitement and got its claws
both front and rear, tangled in john
sons fianel nightshirt and proceeded
to do business. There was no use
to call for help, for Johnson's near
est neighbor is two miles away, and
she is lady and could do little for
him under the circumstances; so he
and the cat had it out alone.
The fight was not by rounds, nor
were any particular rules observed.
1t was case of the survival of the
fittest, and Johnson thinks the cat
was fittest. At any rate, he ran out
of the hen house with the cat making
marks up and down his back every
time it kicked out its hind legs, and
trying to do strangle hold with the
forelegs
Johnson doesn't know what caused
the cat to break loose, but it did. His
nightshirt was torn almost from him
and he was badly cut and scratched
in the fight, but saved his chickens.

1T SELDOM FAILS

If fellow has a deep we'll and an
awkward pump to repair, it is pretty
sure to get out of order during a
very cold snap if it is going to act
up at all. Harry Trego was in town
Saturday trying to find tools for deep
fishing in slender tube, there being
something at the bottom of the we'll
that was at the top for moment
before the thing slipped. Harry had
been freezing and thawing with the
grip and was thinking of how much
better it would be for him to take
good care of himself for few days
while he was so weak, when the
pump got into the game and he had
to get after it with block and tackle,
hammer and tongs.
Harry says he. is satisfied 1t will
be all right in July when wet pipe
won't freeze to mans NIT.
