Garnet Krakau and Wallace Criddle-
baugh came into town this afternoon
carrying fine big salmon trout. 1t
was the largest one caught around here
this season, weighing nine pounds. The

Word that several young men subject
to CONSUMPTION did not register and are
attempting to get out of the country
comes from certain sections of the
county and arrests may be looked for
shortly. These slackers evidently fail

lar day higher than last year. On &C
count of the adverse logging conditions
of the past winter the cut of the Ken
terville mills will be short this year
Hussman, who is operating two of the
| five mills in that section, states he viii
probably cut million feet during the
season.
