What is believed to be the biggest
snake ever caught in Kansas has been
bagged by Lynn Brown, an Indian
farmer living near Lucas in the Covert
hills and purchased by Ray Knox a
Salina Snowman. The giant reptile
measures 10 feet 3 inches long. Brown,
who spends great deal of his time
trapping rattle snakes and other rep
tiles, has been after the big black
snake for more than two years and
the tale Of his fight to land the snake
sounds like a Jack London adventure.
Brown first saw the huge snake in
the hills south Of Osborne two years
ago last summer and tried to pin
it to the ground with his fork The
reptile attacked him and Brown ran.
Later the snake crawled into a erevice
in the rocks and escaped. 1t was not
until this fall that Brown finally got
his chance at the snake He came on
its den one cold morning about a
month ago and dug away the rocks
finding the reptile dormant for the |
winter. He hauled it home in his wag-
on and few days ago Knox bought
the snake. He will exhibit it in his
show next summer.

Can You Do LIZ

If you were to ask an average cigar
smoker if he could smoke Il cigar right
through in steady, consecutive puffs
without once taking it from his mouth,
he would probably smile at the sim
plicity of the feat. You are fairly safe
to wager him that he cannot do it.
Half cigar generally consumes itself
while held in the fingers of the smoker
or placed on an ash tray.

A druggist had recent striking
experience with the rise in price on
some drugs. Last June he bought
a pound of certain drug which was
cheap at that time. 1t came to him
in two half-pound packages, costing
$3.50 a pound or $1.25 for each half
pound package Since then, during
the six months, one package was
opened and little of the drug used
out The other package had never
been opened. The other day travel
ing man came along and in conversa-
ton asked the druggist if he had any
drugs he wished to sell. The dealer
handed over the half pound package,
which had cost him Sl.25 six months
ago, and said, you see that half
pound package has never been open

Mining in Gem County.

Not for Is years has there been Sc
much activity in the mines at Pearl
This is one of the oldest camps il
the state, and has vast stores of min.
eral-gold and silver, with traces OF
copper. In the early days, free gold
was found at the grass roots, but as
depth was attained the ores turned
base. Then came the problem of saw
the field languished In recent years
with the invention of new processes
of extracting these base ores, this
camp is taking on new life and opera
tions are being conducted on an extern
sive scale.
The old mines that have lain idle
for several years, are being pumped
out and preparations have been made
to work them more extensively than
ever before. Included in the proper
ties upon which active Work is in
progress are the claims of the Ohio
Mining company, the Kaleidoscope
lease, the Au Sable, the claims of w.
l.. Mace and the Noble estate. The
Ohio Mining company's claims include
the Checkmate, which is one of the
oldest in the camp and was for many
years rich producer.
Many of the mines are equipped
with mills and substantial buildings.
Several of them have been continuous
shippers of concentrates for many
years and have yielded good profits
AS Pearl has no rail communication,
all ores must be shipped out and
supplies taken in by wagon, and
good roads are a necessity. Plans
for the making of a first class high
way between Pearl and Emmett,
distance of IL miles, are under con-
sideration by the county commission
ers and the work will probably be I'M
dertaken early in next year.

In concluding this story of the year
1916 in Gem county we want to say
that all over people have in some mea-
sure benefited from the prosperity.
The banks have more money than ever
before, merchants have done larger
business, and farmers have had bet
ter incomes. The churches of Gem
county have made approximately 20
per cent increase in membership, and
everywhere one finds note of opti-
mism and expectancy. We look for
ward to 1917 with confidence and ex-
pect to surpass the splendid accom-
of the present year.

1916 Prosperous YEAR FOR
GEM COUNTY

Several districts have installed
heating plants which add greatly tc
the health and comfort i. the chill.
dren by having the rooms uniformly
heated and well ventilated.
Owing to the inspection of the state
board of health and the movement
started by the state board of educa-
ton to make all the rural schools of
the state standard, great deal of
improvement has been made in the
various districts, such as needed re-
pairs on buildings, proper lighting, Sc
curing single seats, oiled floors, the
screening of, and making outbuild-
ing sanitary, painting, and improv-
ing appearance of grounds.
The brick school No. 10, has leveled
its ground preparatory to seeding it
in the spring, has a fine grove of
young trees on the north side, has
built cement walks to the entrances
of the school building, and put a neat
fence and gate in front.
A general awakening of teachers
pupils, trustees and parents has been
accomplished.
Eleven Of the 26 rooms in the rural
schools measured to the standard re-
quired, and several others may be so
before the close of the year.
SnIanJid TaocLare
Gem county has an excellent corps
of teachers as the head of our rural
schools. They should be cIassed as
good, better, best. They are 26 in
four of whom hold Lewiston
and Albion Normal certificates; one
state life; two state; three first; 10
second and five third grade. 1t is
mainly through their good work and
efforts that the schools are
up to the requirements of
-he state board of education.
In many districts they have organ {
zed boys and girls clubs, parent
eachers' associations, literary socie-
les, field meets, and play festivals, G
III with the object of creating an in h
crest for better schools to form Il
loser sympathy between the home d
md the school.
In two districts the teachers are
flaming to serve hot drinks or soups +
or the children's lunches. Q
The Emmett schools employ "a L
eachers of whom six are in the high
chool. A total of 700 pupils are en-
oiled nearly 200 of whom are in the

Der Of any disease reported.
The report shows that the per
capita expenditure for health work
in Connecticut for the fiscal year
ended September 80, 1916, was divid-
ed, with cities with a population OF
more than $4,000 bearing the largest
burden, 40 per cent. The per capita

period was sc 1-2 cents, and in
Bridgeport it was so cents.
