Illegal Hunting

Yesterday morning wounded wild
duck was found on the lot adjoining
the Frye-Bruhn market. An attempt
was made to catch it. but it took ref
uge under the building. The indica-
tions are that the bird had been hurt
the day previously, and that someone
had been engaged in illegal shooting.
A number of shots were heard Sunday
east of town and it is known that
there were a number of ducks and
geese over there ON the flats. 1t may
be we'll for hunters to remember that
the season for hunting game birds is
over and that shooting ducks and
geese at this time of the year is likely
to result in the shooter being consid-
erably out Of pocket.

CARLOAD OF PINE
TOLABORATORIES

A carload Of white and western
pine, which has been paid FOR by the
Western Pine Manufacturers associa-
ton and furnished by the Polleys
Lumber company and the A. c. NJ.
company, has been shipped to the
Madison laboratories at Madison,
Wis. for the purpose of kiln drying
experiments. The Western Pine Manu-
facturers' association is cooperating
with the forest service in trying to
develop scientific kiln drying methods
for lumber.
Instead of the present method of
stacking up the lumber to dry out, in
the kiln drying operation it is run
through hot houses" and thereby a
lot of time is saved and the finished
lumber products can be put on the
market sooner 1t is in order to help
work out this problem scientifically
that the car of pine is sent to the
eastern laboratories.

EX-SHERIFF GOES BACK
TO FARM IN THE HILLS

Dick Whitaker. after having spent
two years as sheriff of Missoula
county, has returned to the simple
life, and will hereafter follow the pillow
as faithfully as he did the criminals
that invaded his territory during his
official term.
Mr.. Whitaker. who yet claims that
all he does when he wants to run his
car down from his ranch home up in
the hills below Missoula is to start il
rolling without any aid from gasoline
or electricity. came down to the city
to bring the automobile to it's new
home.
The snow Is so deep in the hills and
on the road leading to Mr.. Whitaker's
ranch that he was unable to drive the
car, but was forced to load in onto a
big sleigh to get it to its destination

Two Injured IN WRECK
Engineer and Fireman Hurt
When Engine Rlungcs
Down Embankment.

Engineer w. a. Sherwood and Fire.
man J. Flynn were injured Wednesday
In derailment wreck on the Mayrville
branch Of the Northern Pacific road,
according to the report reashing the
division headquarters here yesterday.
Sherwood is reported to be bruised and
scalded about the lower portions Of his
body by steam. Flynn is suffering from
bruises and internal injuries but is ex-
pected to recover. A relief train has
been sent to meet them.
The derailment, the cause of which
has not been learned, occurred on the
Mayrsville branch four miles west Of
FClough Junction. A wedge snow plow
left the track on curve and plunged
down q 30-foot embankment, carrying
one engine along with it and derailing
another. The derailed engine will not
represent much of a problem for the
wrecking crew, but it is likely that the
snow pillow and the other engine will
remain at the foot of the embankment
until a full wrecking equipment can be
taken to the spot. 1t is reported that
the pillow and engines were moving at
the rate of about IL miles an hour
at the time of the accident.

FAIR BOOSTER VISITS CITY
Secretary Confers With Pres.
ident Coffee Regarding
1917 Exhibition.

Genial Dick Skinner, secretary of the
Montana state fair, spent yesterday
In Missoula comforting with President
Coffee of the state fair board, regard
Ing plans for the 1917 fair.
All the 1916 business Of the state
fair association has been cleaned up
and the secretary is now working on
the plans for bigger and better fair
than ever this year, and also has al
ready started praying for a week of
perfect Montana weather for the 1917
state fair. So far, the exhibitions have
generally been blessed with good
weather, but then week Of bad
weather coming during the days the
fair is scheduled can undo the plan
ming of a year.
The annua. meeting of the state fair
board will be held in Helena on Jan
uary IS, when the dates for the state
fair will be set by the board, and pre-
liminary arrangements made.
Mr.. Skinner believes that the legis-
lature will do more for the state fair
than 1t ever has done before, as there
are many farmers there, and they are
all intensely interested in the state
fair. The legislature will be asked for
a $4,000 appropriation for mainte-
nance, and $500 for the carrying on
of Improvement work. and the erection
and repairing of additional buildings.
Mr.. Skinner said that for several
years the fair quarters have been in
adequate, and 1t has been found nee
essary to put the overflow in tents on
account of the large number of en-
tries. BY the securing of sufficient
appropriations, it is hoped that the
existing conditions may be remedied
Mr.. Skinner says that the 1916 fair
was the best ever held. and he hopes
to make this years exhibition even
better. Everything in "a way Of ex-
hibition booths ana stables was well
filled last year, and there were 81
individual county displays.
Mr.. Skinner attended the annual
meeting of the American Fairs and
Exhibitions association at Chicago De-
cember T. s, . and while there all the
fair secretaries were requested to
hand in the prospective dates of their
fairs. so that there would not be any
conflict anywhere IIr. Skinner named
the week of September 17-22 as ten
tative date for the Montana fair, but
this has not been ratified as vet.
An attempt will be made to hold the
state fair earlier this year than during
the last few years, SO as to avoid the
cold. stormy weather which is fire.
quent occurrence during the early fall
Mr.. skinner would like to hold the
state fair in August, when fair weather
would be assured, but the crops are
not ready at that time, and the farm
ers are not ready to either send their
products in for exhibition or to at
tend themselves at that time.
All in all. Mr.. skinner says the Fiji
teenth Annual Montana state fair will
be the greatest ever held in the state.
with the biggest and most premiums
ever offered and the most attractions
ever put on. Mr.. Skinner leaves for
Helena this morning.
