TRAPPING SKUNKS

Clearfield. Pa, April 30.-Mrs. G.
F. Sloppy lives in the heart of the AL
leghanies, and spends the lonely days
of winter reading the newspapers and
trapping for fur bearing animals that
may still be found in the Businesses
of the forest. She has been deeply
interested in the progress of the war,
as are all the mountain people of the
state, and when the news of the Third
Liberty Loan reached her humble
home, she decided to lend to the gov
ernment such money as she had accu-
mulated from her winters work.
So one morning she walked 10 miles
to Clearfield, and, entering bank
asked for eleven 500 Liberty Bonds
These, she explained, as the receipt
was being ma e out, each represented
20 skunk skins. She expressed hel
sincere regret that she did not have
the "hide OF the Kaiser to sell with
those of the other skunks."
Mrs. Sloppy has 60 traps scattered
through the mountains and she IS Us

So long as this nation is confronted

German propagandists, while they
are spreading lies as to conditions in

times unconsciously aided by persons
who have reforms which they believe

complain. The reforms may have
merit, but they may we'll wait, so long
as upon their solution the winning of
the war does not depend, until this

An excellent opportunity TO greatly
extend the sheep-rzising industry in
eastern Oregon IS Offered to local
saeep men By the Reclamation Serv-
ice, which proposes 10 lease for a
term Of ten years or less 10000
acres in Morrow, Umatilla and Gil
liam counties. a considerable pOr-
ton Of these lands are said TO be e1-
cellent for grazing. pasturage and, TO
come extent, for agricultural pur-
poses.
These public lands now withdrawn
from entry OF any form are located in
townships to 3 north, ranges 22 to
% east W. ~, inclusive, and are in
Guided in areas reserved for the fu-
ture development Of the Umatilla and
John Day irrigation projects.
Proposals will be received until 2

put Of the other metals. There were
no important discoveries in any OF
the mining districts Of Oregon in
1917, and no great increase in the
output OF any Of the more productive
properties. The entire output Of ore
from all the deep mines combined
does not exceed 10000 tons. Most
of the placer mines are worked By
the hydraulic system. but the three
dredges now in use produce far more
gold than all the other placer opera
tions combined. The largest output
Of gold and other metals in 1917
came, as usual, from Baker county
which produces annually about 80
per cent Of all the gold mined in the
state. Josephine county is next in
production.
