WILMER SIEG is
CALLED GRAPE KING

The following was sent out last
week from Chicago in United Pres:
dispatch:
Little Stupid, the reporter, walked
up to Wilmer Sieg. the California
grape king, and addressed him thus:
Mr.. Sieg. has prohibition killed the
grape Industry"
Whereupon Mr.. Sieg, the grape king,
rallied the other 500 delegates to the
American Fruit and Vegetable Ship
pers' association convention around
him and ordered a brown derby for
Little Stupid, and three resounding
huzzas for prohibition.
"Bud," he said, bud, we grape
growers go down on our knees every
night to bless the Anti-Saloon league
and Carrie Nation. Give US another
two years of prohibition and we will
be sitting on the world.
Amateur wine makers are buying
grapes faster than we can grow them.
The way things are now, a grape will
be worth its weight in gold by this
time fnext year. A man with a vine
yard is better off than the guy who
owns the mint.
Prohibition a bad thing? Alto
gether, men!"
And the delegates to the American
Fruit Vegetable association convention
gave three times three for prohibition,
with the grape and apple growers
doing it the most uproarous honor.

one of the indicators at the Glacier
office the other day, says the instru

two inches long and less than a half
inch in diameter at the large end, is
guaranteed. MIR. Aplin does not know

The indicator will work on anything

back and forth like a pendulum, the
proper action when it detects a male.
Mr.. Aplin looked around for something
of the opposite sex. He tried it on the
editors boots. They appeared to be
made of bull hide. But the shoes of
another member of the newspaper
force were of COW hide, for the capsule
danced round and round in circles.
Mr.. Aplin said that the day before he
had tried the Indicator on a pork chop
at his home: The instrument showed
that he was eating the flesh of a bar
row. A crab was also being served.
The sex indicator showed it to be

/. A. Reavis challenges any one in
the state to exceed record just made
at the local postoffice A family of
prolific mice made home in the walls
of the Office. They increased and
| thrlved to such an extent that MIR.
| Reavis was tempted to seek aid from
| the predatory animal bureau of the
Department of Agriculture. His as
slstant, Tel. w Blount, however,
assumed jurisdiction and purchased
10 cent mouse trap, which. bated with
a tiny piece of cheese soon proved its
worth. Last Friday Mr.. Blount re-
moved l8 mice, one right after the
other. from the trap. He thinks few
mice are still left.
As some of the members of the post
office force are women, Mr.. Reavis,
says that action against the mice, was
necessary to preserve morale and efii-
cheney.
The Hood River Game Protective
Association has written the Hood River
and Wasco county legislative delega-
tion asking that they oppose a bill in
troduced by Senator Eddy, of Douglas
county. which amends the game code
and permits recovery for property
damaged by beaver or other game ami
NAL or fowl. The bill would be retro
active, permitting recovery for any
damage two years previous to its pass
age. The damages would be paid from
the state game fund raised by license
fees.
'The proposed measure" says j. H
Fredricy, president of the local organ
ization, would involve the game de-
partment in endless expense and inves-
tigatiOn. The bill is not needed. for
any citizen by application to the game
department now may secure permit |
to trap and destroy marauding beaver
colonies.
