CONCERN IS TRYING 70
 KEEP SCHEDULE E E:

Covered with ice varying in thick ness from three inches to over a foot, from the top of the house to the waterline. the ferry Lone Fisher man is making an excellent effort to maintain the schedule of the Ju neau Ferry ( Navigation Company. The scheduled being maintained was a faster boat, but the Fisherman and her crew are making every eff fort to keep the schedule up in spite of the almost impossible weather which has been raging for the past month
 Waldo States, manager of the Fer ry Company this morning stated that few people realize the handicap under which the ferry company is working. Our investment of over $100,000 is not making anything aifd the company would be money ahead of the game if they tied every boat up during this winter weather. We realize that people on the channel are dependent upon us to carry them from point to point and we are doing our best.
 True, there is no steam-heated waiting room on the Douglas dock, but there is a waiting room where people can get out of. the wind. Our investment there has been constant expense and as the old wharf is nearly rotted away it would not pay us to invest any more mon ey in the property. The wharf has never paid and never will. If the city wishes to establish waiting room there on the city dock, l would be only too willing to use the float at that point exclusively. Look at the ice on this boat and the wind which is blowing down the Channel. When larger and stronger boats can't maintain their schedule and buck the wind how can we do it? We are doing our best and if the people will be patient for short time, I think things can be adjusted to their satisfaction" he said.

MUCH MEAT SAVED
 BY MEATLESS DAYS
 IN CALIFORNIA

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.-Meatless day each Tuesday in Los Angeles and Southern California means L. 100000 pounds of meat, valued at s160,000 saved for the soldiers at the front, according to a leading packer of this city. A survey of several weeks, said the packer has shows this saving to be absolute, in that the days abstinence has not increased the normal consumption Of meat in the remaining six days of the week. P ackers are not deliver ing meat Tuesdays, and retail meat shops are closed throughout the city, except those remaining open for the sale Of poultry and fish.

the most successful types used over here I am glad because they will help immensely At the same time a much improved model will be re quired for next year and l do hope that is what they are building. Near ly all dur fighting scouts have rotary engines and that is import ant because rotary engines are light and m;.se 1t possible to build fast maneouvering machine which is very important Then fer fighting you require a bus that has good performance at 1S,000 to 10000 feet and busses like that are rare. To fight in the air over here is differ ent to stunting over exhibitions, etc
 "In fact the best stunt flyer out here is no good as fighting pilot. He hasn't the fighting makeup and Archie and bullets put the wind ur on him so, that he is almost afraid to cross the lines. In our fighting patrols I have been up to Holland, over greater part of Belgium and France. The fighting has been hot enough to suit anybody and I have the wind up the same as the rest of the fighters, but we are stickers. The Archie fire is pretty heavy most of the time and sometimes we get hit with pieces.
 'In two fights with Huns I have been shot up a bit but not serious ly, thank goodness. My old bus bears the scars and hope they will always miss me. In September shot down my first Hun and since then I have knocked out an observer and possibly got a Hun two scatter, but so far have been unable to get it confirmed This is a wonderful game and it suits me fine Two days ago I dropped 15,000 feet absolutely vertical at a speed never under 230 miles per hour"

PUBLIC FORESTS
ANNUAL REPORT OF FOREST OF
FTCIALS SHOWS WHAT HAS
BEEN DONE FOR THE
PUBLIC.

Pierre, Aug. 2.-The annual re-
port of the forest supervisor of the
Black Hills forest reserve for the
year ending June 80 last shows that
the forest forces have been active in
the work of upbuilding the reserve,
and administering it TO the interests
of the public as far as possible. One
of the features of the work appears
to be the survey and segregation of
tracts within the reserve which are
considered more valuable for agricul-
ture than for forest service and up
to the present 26,353 acres of agri-
cultural land have been surveyed and
made available for homesteading.
This work is going on and all the ag-
ricultural lands are being classified,
and it is expected that the lands
found to be agricultural will be made
available for homesteading at an
early date.
The grazing privileges are so ham
died that the small homesteader with
a few cattle is given a preference,
Out of 456 grazing permits granted
in the year, 1928 were to owners of
less than 40 head of cattle; go TO
wner of not exceeding 100 head,
and only II to owners of more than
200 head of stock.
To supply plenty of pure water a
number Of springs are being deyel-
oped. the spring itself being enclosed
to prevent %trampling of cattle and
the water piped to troughs some dis
lance from the source of water sup
ply.
Out of the 7S1,132 acres of the re
serve, permits were granted for the
year for the use of 1000 acres fol-
many different purposes. among
them locations for summer camps
hotels, and other outing places.

WILLING WORKERS
WOMEN NOW EMPLOYED IN MIL
WAUKEE CAR SHOPS.

Dubuque, Ia, Aug. 2.-Officials of
the Milwaukee railroad here, antici-
pating a shortage of men after the
draft, have begun employing women
in the car shops. Already IA women
are employed and others will be
added.
Clad in overalls and jumpers and
nifty little dust caps, the women
present a brisk and workmanlike APP
pearance. They ire employed in
cleaning cars, busting coaches, wash
ing windows and preparing the
coaches for the painters. They are
not being assigned work too heavy
for them.
These modern willing workers
are not confined to one class of fem
ininity. They comprise the young
and middle aged, married and single,
blondes and brunettes. A private
compartment has been fitted up as a
dressing Don and shop officials have
announced that ~uncivility and disre-
spect toward the women will not be
tolerated and that anyone guilty of
such conduct will be summarily dis
charged.
In the lear future a building will
be erected containing rest rooms,
cloak rooms. dressing rooms and all
the modern comforts and CONVEX
fences appreciated by women.

Aberdeen. Aug. Some startling
stories of the hail storm of Sunday
night are related. On the farm OF

several miles, ii is stated the hail
stones were driven with such force
by the terrific northwest gale that
they penetrated the siding and plas-
ter of the new house Ellwein built
last spring, besides breaking every
window on that side of the house,
and covered the floors with hail sew
eral inches thick. One hailstone. it
is claimed, was driven through the
seat of a wooden chair by the force
with which ID came. Gardens, grain.
trees were all stripped by the hail
and chickens were killed, besides a
calf and possibly other small live
stock. The width of the storm was
from two TO three miles, and the
length possibly 10 miles. Outside OF
the hail belt. the rain is generally
held to have been beneficial, coming
so soon after the torrid day Satur-
day, and a hot Sunday in which the
mercury reached % degrees. The
