Presently they came to the honey
suckie hedge. 1t was here that For
tune came to n sudden halt, gave four
or five wags of his tail that was, and
bounced headlong into the hedge.
Ten yards down the vendure covered
ditch Oliver had hare trap, left over
from the winter before. As he near

increased, and suddenly stopped.
Fearing that hare had become en-.
tangled in the old trap Oliver rushed
forward. only to hang his great toe
on IA bramble briar and pitch head
first into the hedge.
"Ohi Goodness," screamed Il ter
rifed voice. Are you hurt much,
sir?"
Oliver rolled over and gazed at the
trap in amazement. Fortune sat by
his side, his round eyes full OF fear
for his master, but when Oliver look

jumped out in red relief

he pulled thorn from the seat OF his

Whereat Fortune lifted his muzzle

grew large with Amusement. From
the forks Of gnarled member of the
hedge, wedged in between an ocean
OF snow white blossoms, the big brown
eyes of Bee Bee looked wildly down
on dog and master. Her eyes we're

her lips were as crimson as the car

through the window. An hour later,

Idaho Boy Dies
From Bullet Wound

POCATELLO, Idaho seph
Wagner, fifteen years of age, died at
the Bethany hospital at American
Falls yesterday as result of an
accidental discharge Of his shotgun,
the full load piercing his thigh. The
boy, with three other lads Of his own
age, went hunting at Horse island.
His companions were down the river
a short distance when they heard
the report Of the gun, thinking it
was young Wagner shooting at a
flock of ducks, until they heard
groans and fastened to him, to find
he was frightfully injured in the
upper part Of his leg. They at once
put him in their motorboat and
brought him to the hospital, where
he suffered greatly from shock. As
soon as he recovered sufficiently
from the shock it was necessary to
amputate his leg. The ordeal was
too much and the lad died later in
the morning.
The boy was the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Wagner of American
Falls and is survived by his fahter,
mother and three sisters, Theresa,
Is years Of age; Mary, II, and
Anna 10, and one brother, Nicholas,
II. Funeral services were held
Monday morning at the Catholic
church at American Falls.

Idaho Leads in
Nominees for the
Rhodes Scholarship

POCATELLO, daho.-Southeast-
ern Idaho leads in nominees for the
next Rhodes scholarship to Oxford
university and it is likely that the
choice will fall on one of the men
from this section. There are two
men from American Falls named on
the list of eligibles, Stahl Butler and
Merry r. lines.
The Twin Falls section has two
candidates for this high honor,
James S. Walsh of Wendell and
Philip w. Buck of Filler. Joel L..
Priest of Boise is another of the
nine candidates, along with Walter
Casebolt of Genesee, Milford R.
Gundlach of Wallace and Charles A.
Preuss of Moscow.
A meeting of all candidates for
the Rhodes scholarship has been
called by President Alfred Upham
of the University Of Idaho at
Spokane, Wash, for December 2,
when the final choice will be made.

George H. Curtis Of Shoshone, both
former Rhodes scholars, are men,

are four large oedrO0ms on the secCnu
floor Of this house. And most impor.
tant is the modern bathroom with COM
plete fixtures. Water Is supplied from
water supply system. There is cleo
trio light throughout, in this case, per-
haps, supplied by feed wire running
near the house. Light and power can
also be obtained by private electric
lighting plant. The bedrooms are es-
pecially light and cheerful, having
windows on two sides.
There is something quaint and ap-
pealing about this type Of home. 1t is
ideal for the farm because it is roomy,
comfortable and not pretentious at all.
Moreover, it is economical to build. It
is 40 feet wide and "a feet deep. The
side porch is 20 feet wide. The two
side bedrooms have doors opening out
onto the balcony.

SAND KILLS FOREST TREES
Coos Bay Dunes in oregon Have Made
Desert Of Once Heavily
Wooded Land.

In few places is the destruction of
forests by sand more impressive than
among the dunes Of Coos bay, in south
western Oregon Approaching the en-
trance of Coos bay, one sees to the
south a succession of bold headlands
covered by forest Of fir and spruce,
and to the north miles Of rolling sand
dunes stretching inland like desert,
with patches of willow and beech
plants here and there, and In the dis
lance clumps of trees and even large
areas of forests making last stand
against the encroac ching dunes.
The destruction Of the forests there
by Sitting sands seem all the more
remarkable when one considers that
the region is excessively humid. One
observer reports that in August and
September, when he was there, not
one day in five was it dry enough and
the wind right and strong enough to
move the sand. When dry day
comes, however. and the wind is
strong from the west, the sand flows
at so great rate that it will cover
a six-inch log in the lee Of dune in
less than an hour.
The sand laden wind makes curious
etchings on sticks and timber and
eventually wears away all the wood ex-
Cept the knots. The forests consist
mainly of Douglas fir, Sitka spruce,
Port Oxford cedar and western red
cedar within the area Of the dunes and
exist now only in patches, almost al
ways in depressions, the former level
of the ground. AS the wind builds up
the advancing crests Of the dunes, 1t
often hollows behind them and exposes
the skeletons Of dead forest. When
the hollows are large, green, grassy
meadow, the home of numerous moist,
sand-loving plants. spring into being.
