sented him. Grant wore a weather

the terms of surrender, he glanced at
that magnificent sword then he turned

He has been sleeping his final sleep

Next Friday will be the ninety-first
anniversary of the birth Of General
Grant. In this year of storm and ap-
prehension and anxiety for the future,
the memory of General Grant is a rest
full one to call to mind
His place in history is not yet per-
manently fixed. 1t will require another
half century to be unrolled before that
will be done.
Then he will be rated as the fore
most of American soldiers.
The truths about the final environ
ment and capture of Vickburg will es-
tablish that beyond question.
The other fact, that he never struck
foe that he did not finally shatter
or capture him, will also be in the
reckoning.
During the civil war he was con-
stantly derided, but he made no sign ;
he simply continued his work, never
doubling of ultimate success. When
temporarily deprived of his command
by Halleck after Shiloh, and asked
what he would do If it should not be
restored, he quietly replied: There
is always room for one more in the
ranks"
See what he did:
He struck at Fort Henry, and the
fort surrendered.
He struck at DonelsOn; the com
mander, Floyd, turned over the com
mand to Buckner and fled. Buckner
surrendered.
When surprised at Shiloh, he was
driven back to the Tennessee river
disputing every foot of ground. Next
day he whipped his men into shape
and dispersed the army in front OF
him.
AS he closed around Vicksburg, he

MANY DEAD DEER.

Doc Denny came In Saturday even
ing from his Cougar Ridge ranch over
on the Clearwater and remained over
until Monday afternoon laying in sup
plies. Doc says the grass is coming
now In good shape in his section and
the deer have begun to find pretty
good browsing on the south hillsides.
However, it was an extremely hard
winter on the deer as well as other
animals which had to rustic ON the
outside for subsistence Doc says he
counted seven dead deer between his
place and Ralph Smiths, distance of
three-fourths of a mile. He says the
bounty should be increased on the
coyotes to SO for female and So
for the male, and IL this was done they
would be wiped out in a short time
and the deer would increase in proper
! ton. The $25 bounty on the cougar,
he says, has almost wiped that pest
ferrous varmint over in his section
and the erstwhile appropriate title Of
Cougar Ridge" under which his ranch
sails is now a misnomer With the In
creased bounty, Doc says, the hunters
would direct all their energies to cor
railing the wild dogs" and while IL
would cost more for few years, IL
would really be saving in the end, foI
! they would soon be killed off. In the
meantime the object for which the
present bounty is paid, that of pro
tecting stock and game, would BIZ
