MT. Boyett informed me that dur
 ing his ten years residence at his
 present home he has killed forty-three
 wolves. There are couple of trap
 pers north of him, who caught five grown wolves last spring and lessen
 ed the wolf trouble that much in his neighborhood. They would find a dead COW, cut her in two and drag a piece to the place they wished to set the trap for them with mule, riding the mule at the same time. Before getting off the mule they would have the trap set and then get off and place it inside the hollow of the dead animal. They would be careful not to take a single step after getting off the mule, but would stand in the same tracks where they alighted until re- mounting. They also wore rubber boots and rubber gloves. The wolf is so very cunning that all these pre- cautions are necessary if you are to trap one successfully. MT. Boyett helped to catch a couple of the larg- est wolves he ever saw few years ago. They were the fattest animals he ever saw and weighed sixty-six pounds each. These trappers caught wolf which weighed one hundred and fifty pounds and took it into Per ryyille alive. It was such a fine, large fellow that they intended keep ing it, but it went on a hunger strike and starved to death in about ten days When they caught wolf they usually took it to camp alive. They would lay a large stick across it's neck and get on the stick, holding it down until they could get their hands on it. As soon as they would get their hands on it, it would sull and they would take fore foot in either hand and swing the varmint over their heads, holding it by foot on either side of their necks, with it's head to one side or the other of their heads, then mount their mule and ride home. The wolf would never of

HERE'S A FAT TURKEY FOR
 XOu

Davy Boyett offers fat turkey to
 anyone who will solve a very simple
 sum concerning small swag he wishes to drain. He took a man to look at it, who was accompanied by another man. They measured the length of the proposed ditch and it was exactly one hundred yards long and the first man agreed to cut it for one hundred dollars, or a dollar a yard, and his companion agreed to do fifty dollars worth of the work at the same price. Now, the ditch was too narrow for both to work together in, so they agreed for each to com menee at the different ends and work until they met, and each cut his fifty dollars worth. The ground was a great deal worse at one end than the other, so they agreed that it would be worth seventy-five cents to cut one end and one dollar and twenty five cents to cut from the other end which made very simple problem  of the matter, as the total rate would be two dollars for two yards, the same as the contract price of one dol lar q yard. They decided to measure the distance and drive a peg down at the point where they should meet Then they got out their pencils and began to figure the distance each was to dig. They were so long figuring that Davy, who is a railroad build CT and used to figuring, got his pen cil out and intended to settle the mat ter right away, but he has not been able to convince the two original calculators as to the distance each should dig, so Davy now offers his fattest turkey gobbler to the first person who sends in the correct dis tance each should dig. so that each will dig his share, one at $125 and the other at 75c a yard The ditch is just exactly one hundred yards long and the price is $1 a yard.

Washington, Feb. 2s-All persons found violating the federal prohibit ton enforcement act must be proceed CT against to the limit of the law, irrespective of any state statutes legal izing the sale of liquor, 1t was amour ced today by Commissioner Roper of the revenue bureau.
 Mir. Roper's ruling resulted from the bill now pending before the New Jersey legislature legalizing the sale and manufacture of beer containing 3 1-2 per cent alcohol.
 The bureau of internal revenue is charged with the enforcement of the national prohibition act, he said. It definitely prohibits the manufacture and sale for beverage purposes of all liquors containing one-half per cent or more of alcohol by volume This be ing the case, the manufacture and sale of 3 1-2 per cent beer which is permit ted by the bill in the New Jersey leg islature, is in direct violation of the federal statute.
 All persons who therefore are found guilty of this violation of the federal statute will be proceeded against to the limit of the law"
