| Inc Independent states that two
discarded U. s., army trucks have
oeeh presented to the county by the
government. 1t seems that the govern
nleht Is donating these trucks to the
counties that put in an application for
thein. According to reports reaching
us from returned soldiers thousands
| OF trucks and automobiles renresant-
ing an investment of millions of dol
lars, are being ruthlessly DESTROYED
IN france Machines that to all an
appearances are in perfect order are
scrapped. The criminal destruction of
government property abroad, accord
ing to these reports, should be inves-
tlsated and those responsible for the
willful waste should be punished.
1t seemed as though half the popu
latlon Sunday were off fishing in the
lakes and streams within auto
reach from town. The chief attraction
Tor fishermen is Toats Coula creek
which Tor years has been one of the
best trout streams in eastern Wash
ington. Spectacle lake, which was
stocked with trout by the county game
commission few years ago, is an
'other point of attraction nowadays.
Some very large trout are taken from
Spectacle lake, where it was long
thought that trout could not live
owing to the alkaline quality of the
water. Osoyoos lake was not over
looked by the anglers, where black
bass of large size are being caught.
Louis Provo returned home Monday
evening from Camp Mills, N. Y, where
he was recently discharged from the
service, coming from across seas in a
casual company. Young Provo was in
France for eight months, member of
the Sth Infantry of the Sth Division
Just prior to sailing for home he was
doing military police duty at Brest.
Military service has had the same
favorable effect on Louis as it has had
upon other young men from this part
of the country, for he appears to be
in prime physical condition, rugged
sunburned and as hard as nails. Glad
he is to get back to Gods country, and
glad are his relatives and friends to
welcome him back, sound in body and
health.
1t is understood that the COW peo-
pie are figuring on having quite Gel
ebration at or near LOOMS this fall at
the time of the cattle round up. What
the nature of the entertainment may
be has not been decided on. The lar
gest cattle companies in the county
run cattle on the forest reserve max
ing their headquarters at Loomis, and
