little red-brown quadruped was then

hunter didn't bother much about him.
But an interested mutton merchant
some years ago put a premium on the
skins, and the writer and a mate
started out one winter morning, with
about two inches of frost on the
ground and every tree powdered with
hoar-frost, for the wallaby ground.
The artillery consisted of two guns,
one a single muzzle-loader. (The
breech-lOader was then a rarity on
Monaro) BY noon the hunters had
dOwned over sixty wallabies. The
beasts were so numerous in some
quarters that two wallabies occasion

Orders to demobilze the University of
Idaho S. A. r. c. have been received by
CAPT. Luther b. Felker, university com
nandant at Moscow. The demobiliza-
ton will take place at ONCE. The first
men from the vocational training see
ton will be discharged about December
9. and the men from the collegiate sec
ton viii leave Moscow about December
49,
Demobilization orders We're a complete
surprise to both the military and civil
authorities of the university. Plans
had been made to carry on the work of
training members of the S. A. T. c. to do
reconstruction work.
"Tbe reconstruction program of the
university will not be changed by the
abandonment of the S. A. T. c. said
Dr. E. H., Lindley, president of the uni
versity. "Most of the members OF the
S. A. T. c. will return to their college
work. Many of our students in training
camps and cantonments are coming
back. The University of Idaho has EN-
barked on a great reconstruction pro
gram to htlp its students understand
and help solve the problems that are
facing the world.
Captain Felker said that the men
could not be demobilized before Decem-
Der 9 because the forms for induction
into the service did not arrive from
Washington until last week By Dec
ember g. however, preparations will have
been made to discharge the 800 members
of Section B. After another ten days,
the military authorities win be able to
discharge members of Section A.
Men from Wyoming viii probably |
leave on the first day, those from south
ern Idaho on the second and those from
northern Idaho on the last according to
Captain Felker. It is impossible dis
charge all the men at once because of
the congestion this would cause on the
railroads.
A Reserve Officers Training corps
will be established in this vicinity i'm
on the disbandonmen; pf The
S. A. 7. c. This training cprps WI pro
vide officers and officer material to be
used in ease of any great emergency.
The R. o. T. C. is an organization pro
vided for by federal statute. The uni
versity has promised TO require eompul-
sorry military training for all able-bodied
first and second year students. The
government will train and equip these
men. On the completion of their second
