Want a Power Ferry

F. G. Chambers writes from Cope
land this week that there is lots of
hay to be hauled in the Copeland
district yet as the river froze up
and the barge has been. unable to
operate. Because there is no engine
on the County ferry a great deal of
trouble has ensued in getting hay
across the Kootenai and the farmers
will probably lose a lot Of money
on this account. Mr.. Chambers states
that more people use the Copeland
ferry than any other in the county.
1t makes as high as 80 trips per
day. The people of Copeland are
anxious to get an engine operated
ferry with which it will be possible
to keep the river open late in the
winter season.

Moravia May Lose Postoffice

Unless some arrangements are
made in the near future the post
office at Moravia is to be discon-
tinued.
Charles Benbom, who recently pur-
chased the store building and stock
of D C. McColl, at Moravia, has
notified the postoffice department
that he needs the space occupied by
the Moravia office for other pur-
poses. Just at the present time
there seems to be no other place
suitable for a postoffice and as there
is but little compensation connected
with the handling of the mail no one
is anxious to assume the RESPONSE
bilities.

In some manner the credit for the
contributions of Frank Chapen and
Dee Chapen of Copeland was omit
ted from the report of the contribu-
tors in the Y. NJ. c. A. Fund which
was published. These gentlemen
contributed 81 each and the error was
purely typographical as proper credit
appears for them on the secretary's
list.

yaw company objected to the issue
on the grounds that it owned most
of the property in the district and
nearly the full burden of the issue

RIG CATTLE SALES

IN the first months of this year
100000 more cattle were marketed
than during these same months in
1916 and the sales were rather heavy
then. Only 100000 of these were sold
from the stockyards. This shows
that these heavy shipments have been
slaughtered and have gone into con-
sumption. This means Is per cent
increase in the sales in 1917 over
those in 1916. The shipment Of calves
to market has also been heavier than
usual and they have been slaughtered.
This heavy marketing of beef animals
and calves will certainly have big
effect on prices in the next two or
three years. 1t would seem to indicate
that now is a good time to hang onto
breeding stock and if possible to in
crease the production of beef cattle.

PRAIRIE CHICENS KILLED
BY HAWKS AND CROWS

The astonishing news that hawks
and crows are the cause for the short
age of prairie chickens has been re-
ported by a well informed hunter OF
the state.
He stated that it is not the hunters
who are killing the prairie chickens,
but the crows and hawks. This year
there seems to be an unusual number
of these birds and they are causing
considerable trouble. The crows eat
the eggs Of prairie chickens and If
they are Matched the hawks kill a
number of the young fowl. Every time
a hunter gets a chance he should take
a shot at a hawk or crow. These are
a great help in clearing the fields OF
mice, snakes and gophers, but they
do not help increase the number OF
wild fowl.

they were convicted of numerous bur-

and it was on the charge of sodomy
they were convicted. On completion

to stand trial for burglaries commit

time and none thought them capable
