With 800 steel traps, a repeating
rife and an acquaintance with every
thing wild. this man, whose eighty.
fifth birthday was on March s, has
trapped along the streams from the
Oregon line to Stockton for more than
four decades.
Smalling came to California In 1851.
Frontier life appealed to this young
man from the start. He trapped and
mined for seven years on Trinity river,
another seven years on Battle creek
and seven years along the Feather
river.
He always works nine hours a day.
and Is as spry as the average man Of
forty or fifty years.
Smalling accounts for his perfect
health through his habit of spending
most OF his life in tent and living
close to nature.
Rogue River courier. (Grants Pass, Or.) 19??-1918, 1918-06-11

Snakes are not our enemies, says
Gayne X. Norton in American Forest
ry. They never attack except In self
defense. OF our III species only II
are poisonous--tw species Of Flaps,
coral snakes, and 15 species Of cro-
taline snakes, the copperhead and moe
casin, the dwarf and typical rattle
snakes. On the other hand, the help
they render is valuable. The pests
destroyed each year, especially ro-
dents that injure crops and carry COM
municable diseases, roll up large bal
ance Of good service in their favor.
Rodents are destroyers Of farm
products, cause loss by fire through
gnawing matches and insulation from
electric wires and of human life
through germ-carryine, particularly the
bubonlc plague.
